CAPITOL WANTS NO LID
District Committee Strong
Against Dry Town Dry
Lobby Working.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-Prohibi-
ton at the national capital is a dead
issue. at least during the present con-
gress, and. Notwithstanding the vigor-
Gus campaign the temperance advocates
will wage this winter, there Will be no
legislation which Will make Washing
ton a dry city.
In appointing the committee on the
District of Columbia. which formulates
legislation for Washington. Speaker
Cannon selected a large majority Of
members who live in the large cities SO
as to secure men with liberal ideas,
and whose experience in the govern
ment or municipalities Will be bene-
ncial TO this city.
Committee Is Liberal Ono.
When the speaker selected this COM
mittee it was done without regard to
the temperance question but the mem
bers We're chosen solely for their quail
fcation which win enable them to give
the national capital a good govern
ment
But a canvass Of the committee dis
closes the fact that If the question Of
prohibition is presented it vii be pig
eonholed by large majority. There are
nineteen members. eleven Of whom are
from the large cities and eight from
the small towns three Of them being
opposed TO prohibition
Dry Lobby At Work.
A large lobby is maintained here by
the prohibition forces. and Immediately
after the holiday recess its members
VIII begin to lombard the members OF
the house and particularly the Dis

view of forcing some legislation. But
the anti -prohibitionists have thirteen
votes out Of nineteen of the District OF

signs fail, Washington viii be Wet

UNION TRACTION
ORDERED SOLO
Other Lines Must Go Too is
Decree by Judge
Grosscup.
RECEIVER WILL EXECUTE LEASE
Jurist Says Settlement Means That
People Have Agreed With 10000
Interested in Old Lines.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-The greatest step
f. the settlement of the Union Traction
tGngle was taken yesterday whom
Judge Grosscup entered decree order
ing the sale of the properties Of the
North Chicago Street Railroad com
pany, the West Chicago Street Rail-
road company. and the Chicago Union
Traction company. at noon on Jan. 25
1908 The sale is to be conducted by
II w. Bishop, who was appointed a
special master BY the court, and VIII
be held at the south main entrance
to the county court house
An order was also entered instruct
ing the receiver Of the property 70 ex
ecute to the Chicago Railways company
lease OF all the lines Of street rail-
ways operated by them. which lease is
to extend to Feb. 2 1927
Wipes Ont Union Traction.
The decree terminates the existence
of the old Union Traction company
and plans for the reorganization will
proceed Immediately along the lines
agreed upon months ago. The Chi
-cago Railways company expects to ac-
quire the properties both by lease and
by purchase at the foreclosure sale.
before 1t files its acceptance Of the
franchise ordinance.
1t means the lines will receive the
improvements made obligatory by the
franchise ordinance passed by the
council: the establishment of new
through routes between the North and
West and South Sides: the granting of
universal transfers; new cars and the
general rehabilitation of the old, worn
out system.
Lawyers ut List Agree.
When the attorneys, who have for
months been lighting and clashing in
the interests of their various clients
met in the courtroom of Judge Gross
cup in the afternoon, they were for
the first time a unit for the final de-
crees. All the clouds which obscured
the traction sky so long had been swept
away.
In Judge Grosscup's own words. de-
livered at the close of the session, The
settlement on so large a scale involv-
ing so much feeling is one of great
difficulty.
Two Million Get Their Dues.
'"The entry of these orders means
that 100000 people. constituting the
city of Chicago. have at last come to
an understanding with some 10000
people constituting the creditors. bond
holders and stockholders Of the old
Union Traction system, whereby the
1000 900 get what IS due them as a
community, the twenty odd thousand
get what is due them as a body, and
each of the 10000 gets what IS due him
as an individual.
TT was the ordinance Of last Febru-
airy which made such a settlement pos
sible and the extension granted last
September which saved 1t from dis
aster. The agreement today practically
closes it.

STATE VS.. HARRINGTON
Trial Will be Held Saturday
and no Favors Will be
Shown Prisoners.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 26.-It now
develops that Newton Booth Tarking-
ton, novelist and playwright, who had
o rough and tumble street fight with
detectives early Christmas morning
when they tried to quiet him and send
him home, spent an hour behind the
bars of the common cell at police head
quarters where prisoners are locked up
on disorderly charges. 1t is the rule
at the station that such prisoners are
rot released until after four hours
confinement but an exception was
made in Mr. Tarkington's case, accord
ing to the police. as two friends who
came to look after him promised to
see that there was no further trouble.
Detectives Manning and Samuels say
Harrington has ability as an athlete
and gvmnast as we'll as writer, and
that they never had a harder tussle
with a prisoner Though the author
made fierce resistance both officers
say they did not employ the usual
methods approved of in such cases,
though they were compelled to use
force in subduing him.
Detective Manning is sti1l suffering
from the kick administered by the
author.
Every effort possible is being made
by the attorney and friends of Tark-
ington to hush up the affair, but social
and political circles are whetting their
appetites for what is expected to be
Interesting testimony at the hearing
of the case Saturday. His attorney
appeared for him this morning. The
police declare that under the circum-
stances no special favors will be shown
and that the truth will be told and the
matter put up to the court.

PLAN CITY HOSPITALS
At Least Five Emergency
Places Will be Els
tablished.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-There is every in
dication that Chicago within a few
months is to have its much needed
series of emergency hospitals-the abb
sence of which costs at least a score
of lives annually. Better still. it is
probably that some of them will be
established within a few weeks.
City officials have decided to remove
the too often fatal necessity of hauling
dangerously wounded patients across
the entire city to the county hospital
for treatment. Records at Central po-
lice station show scores Of cases of
victims Of the lack of the proposed
emergency hospital system.
Died in ambulance on way to coun-
~ hospital" is a report found at the
bottom of death reports every week.
Health commissioner DR.. W. A Evans
feels sure that large number of these
lives have been sacrificed needlessly
and that they may be saved with the
new hospital stations.
Five Now Under Consideration.
If the plan now under considera-
ton by Commissioner Evans and a
number of aldermen are carried into
execution hospitals will be placed in
the following locations:
City hall, for shopping and business
district: to be maintained in connec-
ton with the health department offices.
n police station to be constructed at
Madison street and the river. for
wholesale district and emergency cases
in west part of downtown district.
South Chicago. near entrance of Illi-
nois steel mills to take care of vic
Tins of accidents in mills and other
parts of South Chicago
Stock yards. near University settle
ment Forty-seventh street and Gross
avenue. for stockyards cases.
North side, location not settled upon,
investigation as to the necessity for
the hospital on that side of the city
TO be made soon.
At a meeting of members Of the lro-
quois Memorial association a commit
tee consisting of r. T. Crane, Health
Commissioner Evans, and Mode J.
Spiegel was appointed to work up the
plan. Not much was done during the
| holidays, but IL is expected the plan
will be worked out before the meeting

Judge Anderson Criticises
the Way the Chicago Ma

Chicago. Dec. 27.-John r. Walsh
met a great defeat in Judge Anderson s
court in the federal building yester-
day. Not only was the motion of his
lawyers 70 have a peremptory verdict
of mot guilty" returned by the court
denied, but Walsh was criticised in a
merciless manner for the way he ran
the Chicago National bank
In a running fire Of comment on the
salient features Of the case Judge An
derson hurled such shots as these at
Walsh:
1T looks as if the defendant was
trying to serve two masters
When bank president begins to
deal with himself he is in danger OF
ceasing to be a banker and Of becom-
ing a speculator.
This court cannot be confused with
forms and contracts. What we want
here is the absolute truth
This testimony shows high finance
The more explanations l hear the
worse things look to me"
The day was taken up principally
with the arguments of Walsh's law
yers to have the case dismissed on
the grounds that the government had
not proved that Walsh intended TO
defraud the bank when he made the
loans Of the banks funds to his rail
roads

sharply Halted by Court.

Attorney John S. Miller began with
the plea that the money was not paid
out of the bank but from Walsh's per-
sonaI credit.
Judge Anderson interrupted him with
this statement
Il shall instruct the jury that these
credits to the name Of Walsh were in
reality fictitious credits. and that
Walsh paid money over just as effect
ually as if he had taken it out Of the
Golfers Of the bank The entry of the
money TO his name was a subterfuge."
Mr.. Miller then argued that the evil
dence failed to show that there was
no money due these corporations.
This defendant had no right to
serve two masters" said the court.
He was president OF the bank, and
it was his duty to serve it's interests
alone. the bylaws did not give him the
right to further his personal interest
in companies controlled by himself"
The question of the memorandum
notes brought another rebuke. Mr..
Miller argued that the evidence did
not show them to be fictitious He
said the bank examiners had not ques-
toned them.
