Conqressman Criticises Issue of Ger
 tificates By President.

Washington. November 20 0-(Special.)- )- John Sharp Williams, democratic leader in the house of representatives, said to- day that he deprecated the action Of the administration in issuing $lOO,oW'Wo III certificates of indebtedness at this time and that undoubtedly the action Will be criticised in Congress.
 MT. Williams went on to say that ai- though the administration had technicai legal authority for the issuance, Congress never intended the authority to be used m this way. He declared that when the act was passed authorizing the issue or cer- 1jfcates of indebtedness not to exceed s1oo. 100000 by Congress, it was eontem- plated that the possibility of the war with Spain. involving this government III trou- ble with another foreign power or olheI powers in which case greenpacks hllsh' 20 below par and these certihcates were authorized to enable the government to nrotect itself He asserted that no one contemplated then that the authority would be used in time of profound peace .and, according to our republican, pre'h- ren. of unexampled prosperity.
 "F,verything under this administration, said MT. Williams, ''is ingenuity or ohe construction If the administration can not find law to suit it's ends 1t always finds some one to construe law to the purpose"

TRIAL OF WALSH
 BROOCHES SLOWLY
BANK EXAMINER MoxEY CONTiN- UES TO SHOW THAT THE BANKER USED FUNDS OF THE BANK PERSONALLY.

Chicago, November 20.-Evidence tend ing to show that bonds of the Walsh rall roads were sold to various purchasers at practically the figures at which they were accepted by the Chicago National bank as collateral for notes. was brought out in the cross-examination of National Bank Examiner Moxey in the Walsh trial this afternoon. Ten sales, aggregating S522 900, were gone over and identified by date and amount. It was further indi- cated by the testimony that the mem orandum notes upon which the prosecu- ton alleges enormous sums were drawn from the banks vaults by Walsh, were paid upon maturity.
 The direct examination of MT. Moxey was finished this afternoon, after he had testified to entries purporting to show the withdrawal by Walsh of $6300O0 in single day in January, 1905. and that notes bearing various signatures amount ing to $644,00O had been discounted on that day.
 Moxey's testimony seemingly showed that during the month of January, Walsh drew out of the bank $965. 900, and that a corresponding amount is involved in notes or the sale of bonds of his other enter prises.

WRONGFUL USE OF FUNDS

New York. November 2O--Three indict- ments are said to have been ordered to- day by the Kings county grand jury which has been Investigating the affairs of the suspended Borough bank of Brook lyn. The grand jury has not completed its labors and there were indications to- night that there might be other indict- ments. While no official statement was forthcoming tonight as to the action of the grand jury it is expected that more than one indictment will be returned against individuals The grand jury will hand down the indictments tomorrow or Friday.
 All the directors of the Borough bank, with four exceptions, have been sub poenaed and nearly all have testified be- fore tho grand jury. The four directors who had not been summoned today are Howard Maxwell, former president of the bank Arthur D. Campbell, former cashier; William S. Hurley, vice pres ident and William Grow, a. director, who Is credited with controlling interest in the institution. Maxwell and Campbell resigned their positions about a week ago. It was learned today that Maxwell, Cow and Campbell recently prepared for the directors of the bank statements covering their transaction with the in- stitution and that these statements, which are said to absolve the other directors of the bank from complicity in the acts of Maxwell Campbell and Cow, have beea read to the grand jury.
 One of the charges considered has to do with what the prosecutor describes as q misrepresentation of funds of the bank in the formation of the International Trust company. It was charged that a check for $145,0O0 was drawn from the Borough bank and used to complete the $1,0 900 of capital and subscribed surplus which the new Trust company had to pay in before it could open its doors
