THE WALSH HEARING.
Court Seeking Light on Bond Deals
at Chicago.

CHICAGO. November 30.-Expert test-
mony. intended to show the met hods en-
ployed by bond brokers to determine bond
values. was introduced in the trial Of
John r. Walsh in the federal district
court yesterday. A W. Harris. d banker.
was a witness. One of the charges
brought by the prosecution is that Walsh
in building up his railroads and other
properties issued bonds to the extent of
millions of dollars when the corporations
were earning little or nothing and that
bonds were either sold to the Chicago Ma
tional Bank. or were used as security for
the memorandum notes by means of
which Walsh's alleged diversion of funds
are said to have been accomplished.
Mr.. Harris testified that it was custom
airy for bond dealers to send experts to
determine the earning power of the prop
erty upon which the bonds were issued.
They would insist. he said. that the stock
holders should have money invested in
the enterprise under, investigation. but the
earning power would play the chief part
in fixing the value Of the bonds.
IF the bonds were in demand he said,
they would sell on the same basis as
Similar bonds Of other corporations. If
not in demand their value would be fixed
by comparison with other similar bonds
not in demand
The earning power for a period of at
least six months. the witness said. was
essential to proper determination of
the value of bonds of any corporation.
According to the evidence previous pre-
sented the bankrupt Evansville and Rich
mond railway was purchased by Walsh
for $4,000. The prosecution charges that
the road was purchased with funds of the
Chicago National Bank. and that on the
property when renamed the Southern In
diana railway s6.0OOCOo Of bonds were
issued by Walsh, 81 OOO. 900 being first and
$2O00,O0O second mortgage bonds
B. B. Mckay. formerly a. private book
keeper in the employ of Walsh. admitted
that Measurements occurred in reports
made to the Chicago Clearing House AS
ISOLATION and to the controller of the cur
rency, purporting to show the condition
of the Chicago National Bank prior to it's
failure. The statements. he said. were
made by him at the instance of Walsh.

states the commission, Outside the limit,
ana the basis of valuation is so high. that
there is, in reality. an underlying lien on
every piece Of real estate in the city.

market value.

community can thrive under the load of
a debt which is piling up four times as
fast as it's wealth and seven and one half
times as fast as its population.

LAXITY OF THE POLICE
CHARGE THAT SEARCH OF PRIs-
ONERs IS INCOMPLETE.

There Is the greatest sort of laXity In
searching prisoners before they come to
these courts" said Judge kimball in his
Offices at the Police Court this morning,
while speaking of weapons found on pris-
oners in the court pens. 1T shows not
only neglect. but absolute carelessness on
the part Of the police. Certainly. if pris-
oners are not thoroughly searched at the
time of arrest a careful searching should
be made before they are placed in the
vans to be carried to a court OF Justice
Judge Kimballs comment was brought
forth by the fact that a prisoner arraigned
few days ago, charged with cutting
woman, ran his hands in his pocket while
testifying in his own behalf and drew
forth an ugly looking case knife, at the
same time telling the court that that was
the knife with which the cutting was
done. Judge Kimball Immediately com
municated the matter to Superintendent
of Police Sylvester.
1t is alleged about the local police courts
that the searching of prisoners by the
police is often carelessly and negligently
performed, and that knives, revolvers,
blackjacks. and. in some cases, brass
knuckles have been found on prisoners in
the pens. a large majority of such cases
are discovered. it is said, through a desire
on the prisoners part to hide any weapon
he may have about him before he is
arraigned on the charge against him. In
such cases the pen guards have dlscov-
cred prisoners dropping knives or black
jacks behind pipes or benches, in the hope
of gaining possession of them on return
to the pens.
One of the greatest places for conceal
ing weapons when court was held on 18th
street. said a police court bailiff today,
was behind the deep-grooved benches and
in the toilets. The speaker told of having
found a policeman revolver and two
large dirk knives concealed upon one oc-
casion in an open portion of the sewerage
system in the former quarters.
ITO have prisoners coming here with
weapons of this sort on their persons"
continued Judge Kimball, sis a danger not
only to the court itself. but to all who
come in contact with the prisoner. There
are many INSCRIPTIONS and dangerous
men arraigned before a court of justice.
and what is there to prevent such per-
sons, armed with a knife or revolver, from
using them in the courtrooms.
THE case of several days ago brought
this matter forcibly to my notice. and l
have called attention to the facts in a
letter to the superintendent of police, and
trust 1t will be remedied at once. 1t is
inconceivable to believe that a police Of
ficer would bring a prisoner to a police
court armed with dangerous weapon.

IN CONGRESS
HOUSE..


mittee on banking and currency held
its first meeting Wednesday. spending
two and one-half hours in discuss
ing the currency question in severed
OF its phases. At the conclusion Of
the meeting several Of the members
stated that as a result of the confer
ence the members of the committee
were now nearer together than they
ever had been before, Notwithstanding
the same men-with the exception OF
ing the Fifty-ninth congress.
The only definite action taken at
this initial meeting was the authoriz-
ing from the chair of the appointment
of a subcommittee of five to draft and
submit a currency bill to correct the
present financial situation. There will
be no hearings before the convention
until the subcommittee has finished
its task and the completed draft is in
the hands of the chairman.
The recurrence of two phases of the
currency question marked the confer
ence These were: The creation of
elasticity in the currency, and the
depositing Of reserve balances in ma
tional banks. The committee was ap-
parently agreed that it will sanction
no move to increase the bulk of pa
per money, but will confine itself to
the consideration of the best means
Of injecting elasticity. The plan Of
providing for the issuance of national
bank credit notes, which can be in.
stantly drawn into circulation when
general condition S require an in
creased currency, and retirement as
promptly as when the need has passed,
was presented and discussed at some
length.
The action of the house committee
on banking and currency at its first
meeting was in line with the we'll
known purpose of Speaker Cannon
and the house leaders to make every
show of earnest effort to get currency
legislation, and, at the same time,
make the least haste possible. The
purpose in the house is to put the issue
up to the senate. The members of
the lower body are carefully trying
to create the impression in the coun-
try that they are ready to act, but
will not put a bill through to be emas-
culated, and, perhaps, talked to death
in the senate.
Scores of currency relief bills al
ready have been cast into the basket
on the speakers desk and have been
referred to the committee. Chairman
Fowler was authorized to appoint a
committee of five to go through the
various bills, select and reject fea-
lures and suggest a committee bill.
A bill providing for prohibition in
the District of Columbia vas intro
duced by Representative Lamb of
Virginia.
Mr.. Gale, delegate from Alaska, Of
fered a bill comforting upon Alaska a
territorial form of government.
Representative Kipp of Pennsyl-
vania introduced a bill making nation
al bank notes legal tender.
A bill prohibiting railroad compa-
MES from charging a greater rate for
the transportation of freight over short
distances than is charged for longer
distances for the same commodities
and the same class of freight in the
same quantities was introduced by
Representative Hardy of Texas.

ROBBERS GET$4oO0
BLOW SAFE OPEN IN CARNEY
(OkLA.) BANK.
OUTLAWS KEPT UP A STEADY FIRE
Three Men Stood Guard, Shooting at
Any Citizen of the Town Who
Made His Appearance.

Carney, Okla.-Five men, at an
early hour Thursday morning sue
ceeded, after firing five nitroglycerin
shots, in breaking into the coin sa.~
of the Carney bank and securing 81
600.
While two men time after time
charged the safe cracks with nitro
glycerin, and explosion after explosion
shattered and broke up bank furniture,
the other robbers stood guard on the
outside of the building and kept up
a steady rifle fire in every direction,
shooting at any citizen of the town
who made an appearance. Thorough
ly aroused, a general alarm was sound
ed. Church bells were rung and the
citizens arming themselves, were pre-
pared to make charge when the rob-
bers calmly walked down the main
street of the town and vanished in the
darkness.
All efforts to trail the men have
failed.
The men are known to have calmly
walked into the town, robbed the bank
and, without rush or hurry, firing
coolly at those who showed them
selves, then walked out.
A large posse with bloodhounds is
securing the district for a clew, but
have utterly failed. It is thought the
gang is the same that robbed the bank
of Marshall two weeks ago and as a
result of these robberies, bankers in
the smaller towns are placing armed
guards in bank buildings.
