CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Approximately
two million dollars which it is charged
by the federal prosecutors had been
transferred by John r. Walsh from the
vaults of the Chicago National bank to
the Golfers OF his several enterprises had
been traced by means OF entries IN the
books of the institution when National
Bank Examiner E. P. Moxey stepped
down from the witness stand at the ad-
journment of the Walsh trial today.
Mr.. Moxey occupied the stand through
out the morning and afternoon sessions
of court and all told identified eighteen
entries which 1t is claimed by the prose-
cutlon are proof positive of misapplica-
tion of funds as chargedA
The aggregate of the amounts testified
to today was $1,OOo0O0. A similar amount
was traced in like manner yesterday. AS
yesterday, the bank examiner was not
allowed to allege any connection between
the various sums shown in the books.
He was first shown a memorandum"
note bearing the signature of IA. f.
Williams and was asked to trace 1t
through the books of the bank to show
that the money for which it called had
been used by Mr.. Walsh for his personal
benefit.
The examiner traced the Williams
transaction showing that it had been
drawn for $4,000, discounted for $96,112
and that the proceeds had been placed
to the credit of the personal account of
Mr.. Walsh and it was then shown that
the money was paid over by Mr.. Walsh
to the credit of the Illinois Southern
Railway company. in which Mr.. Walsh
was heavily interested.
1t was shown from the books that May
"a. 1904, a purchase of $4,000 worth of
the bonds of the Illinois Southern Rail-
way company was made by the Chicago
National bank at 80. The $4,000 paid
was credited to Mr.. Walsh. On the same
day $25,O00 was placed by him to the
credit of the Illinois Southern Railway
company and $4,000 to the credit of the
Southern Indiana Railway company.
other similar transactions were traced.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The COM
munications which came to the treasury
department approving the financial pol
icy adopted by the president and Sec
retary Cortelyou, and the subscriptions
which were received for the Panama
bonds and one year certificates we're the
subject of discussion at the meeting of
the cabinet and afforded general graft
fcation. While details regarding sub
scriptions are not yet being made pub
lie, it seems to be the feeling at the
treasury department that both loans will
be oversubscribed as was the case of the
popular loan of $1OOOOO,OOO issued by the
Cleveland administration in 1896, The
decline in the stock market today is re-
garded as only a symptom of hesita-
tion until the effect of the failure or
success of the measure is proved by the
opening of the bids. Millions have al
ready been subscribed.
Several important questions are being
raised in communications addressed to
the treasury department but the Of
ficials are exercising much care in de-
fining their position. Oae of these ques-
tions is whether the new one-year cer-
tificates will be awarded for bank re-
serves
The law on the subject seems to be
sufficiently clear that they are not
available for this purpose, but it is pos
sble that the presence of = few of them
in reserves u, der present critical con-
ditions would be winked at just as in the
case of the clearing house certificates.
The possibility that the issue of the one
year certificates will be criticised in con-
gress in much the same manner as the
sale of bonds to the Morgan syndicate
to protect the cold reserve in 1895 is at
tracing some attention.
The fact that Republican member
of the house. committee on banking, Mr..
Prince of Illinois, was quoted today as
declaring the issue mot justifiable under
existing conditions is considered a
symptom of the attitude which may be
taken by few members of congress-

As Measure Preparing Way for Removal
Is About to Be Presented, Bood-
ler's Resignation Reaches
Legislators

that Wilson's successor will be strong
er man than the majority of those who
have in the past served upon the board.
There Is much speculation as to who Will
be appointed to fill the unexpired term,
and many names have been suggested.
1t Is thought that someone less obviously
controlled by the railroad will be ap-
pointed, inasmuch as the governor will
be called upon by public sentiment to
select a man in striking contrast with
Wilson. But at this, too, the wise ones
smile cynically and maintain silence.
The possibility of action on the part
of Attorney General Webb, in conform
ance with his recent declarations, Is also
factor. BY appointing a man who
would lead campaign ostensibly against
the roads that would be sufficiently
harmless to satisfy the corporation and
apparently drastic enough to appease the
publics demand for reform, the machine
would cleverly obtain its own ends under
the appearance of suffering defeat.
In the opinion of the majority, however,
1t Is probable that little heed will be paid
to the public's desire, and the policy
made famous by Commodore Vanderbilt
will be maintained, as in the past.
But If 1t is a case of "the public be
damned" the voters have the satisfaction
of knowing that, politically, Wilson has
been already.
Senator Wolfe today denied that he was
candidate for the appointment, insist
ing that he would seek reelection to the
senate On good authority 1t is asserted
that Isador Jacobs, the millionaire wine
grower is urging the appointment of III.
N. Rowley editor and owner of the Cali
fornia Fruit Grower.
The resignation, which was on the Of
fetal stationery of the railroad commits
sion, contained but one typewritten line.
1t said:
"San Francisco. Nov. 49, 1907.
''To the Hon. James N. Gillett, Governor
of California,
"Sir: hereby tender my resignation as
railroad commissioner for the Second
district. Yours respectfully,
"ANDREW M. WILSON"
The letter was mailed at San Francisco
at 1890, November IS, and arrived at the
capitol this morning. Governor Gillett
Immediately telegraphed Wilson, accept
ing the resignation.

SHELTERS AGAIN RAISE
RATE ON GoLDFIELD ORE
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
GoLDFIELD, New, Nov. 19.-The
samplers of Goldfield district have
notified the mine owners that the
smelters have again raised the rate on
Goldfield ores, this being the second
time within twenty days. The smelters
are in no position to take ore and pay
for It, so they are trying to restrict
shipments by making the rate prohibi-
tive
The Consolidated let out all men to-
day who were working on ore in the
Mohawk, as they will not pay the new
rate. 1t is believed that as soon as
money matters are adjusted the smelt-
ers will return to their old rate and
the mines will resume shipping. The
new rate it is thought will work
serious injury to leasers. many of
whom although in ore, will have to
close down for want of market.
j. H. Mckenzie, the newly elected
director of the Consolidated Mines
company, arrived this morning, and at
a meeting of the new directorate today
was elected general manager of the
company.

The bulletin in part says: FROM
the time of the first settlement OF the
country this has been one of the great
est sources of loss to the rancher and
farmer. The country is not suited TO-
cultivation, and always furnished REL
uge to cougars, wolves, and other AMI
mails of their class. Now that the gov
ernment has undertaken the admins
tration of land of this character, active
work has been started to exterminate
such animals.
1T is part of forest rangers duty
to hunt predatory animals, and with
the addition of skilled hunters the
force, whose business is to hunt, ex-
cellent results are expected.

When the war of the rebellion be-
gan, and the erstwhile secretary of
war became the executive head of the,
confederacy, the name of Jefferson

and today glaring blank occupies,

AS sectional prejudice has disap-

ceived a letter on the subject from

to the war department.

IF the railroads could only get the
labor the investment of money in bet
terments this year would exceed any
thing ever reported says John T.
Marchand, assistant to the president
of the Rock Island system, who until
recently was a highly valued employe
of the interstate commerce commits
sion. "The trouble is that the labor
can't be had at any price. We are do
ing everything possible, for instance,
on the Rock Island lines to establish a
strictly frst-class condition. 1t has
been only by the greatest exertion that
we have been able to get ties Of which
we had hundreds of thousands bought,
delivered to u.s. No labor.
But it can be set down as certain
that next fall and winter will not see
a repetition of the troubles Of last win
ter The railroads have their tracks
in condition, have more cars, more
power, more of everything and have
put it all into the best possible state
of efficiency Tonnage is so big that
the prospect of small reduction,
which seemed to be promised during
the spring, was really rather gratify-
ing to the operating departments, for
it gave them chance to catch up with
business. But the reduction evidently
isn't going to take place, for crop con-
ditions are vastly better than anybody
dreamed was possible at that time"

IT is predicted in official circles that
i the forthcoming bulletin of the bu-
reau of labor will show that the in
creases in wages this year have broken
all records and that the prosperity
which is so much heralded is tangible
and that the working people are fully
participating in it. Whether they are
receiving their full share is a question
which cannot be answered officially or
otherwise to the satisfaction of all
concerned, but it is stated that official
figures will show that the advances in
wages during the last II months have
been unprecedented.
Along with the increase in wages
has been experienced an increase in
the cost of living. The purchasing
power Of money has decreased both
when applied to labor and to living.
While trusts and monopolies have in
some instances destroyed the power of
supply and demand to affect prices, it
is promised that normal and natural
rules will apply when the department
of justice completes it's programme of
attacks upon the combinations. So far
as supply affects prices Secretary Will
son says that he will produce bounti-
full harvests. While he cannot promise
bumper crops he says emphatically
that there can be no crop failure, and

its arch over 80 feet high.
The bridge was noy completed un.
