A plan by which European laborers on
the Isthmus of Panama may bring their
families to that place IS under considera-
ton by the canal commission. 1t contem-
plates the erection of cheap houses on
small tracts of land. establishing settle

 CHICAGO PAPER
Now Defunct Chronicle Bene- fited by Walsh PecuIationS
 Bad Day for Him

CHICAGO. November 30.-Evidence that $2.570,595 was deposited to the credit of John R. Walsh s private en- tcrprises was brought out in the trial of the former president of the Chicago National bank in the federal court to- day. Attorneys for the government con tended that the amount was wrongfully diverted from the funds of the bank. B. B. Mckay, former private book keeper for Walsh, was on the stand when these facts were adduced, but the testimony was brought before the jury only after the objections of the defense had become so strenuous that the court was forced to rebuke John $. Miller and William F. Hynes, attorneys for the defendant, and to question the witness himself
 Judge Anderson, amid q storm of ob- iections from the defense, questioned the witness regarding various bond transactions and Walsh s connection with them. The majority portion of the $2,57O,595 which Mckay testified had been deposited to the credit of various Walsh concerns went to the Chicago Chronicle in 1904, and in 1905 the witness said the newspaper was credited with $l 424,000 beside.

SPECULATION E, AGAIN ASSUMING
 IN STOCK MARKET
Hints that Presidents Message Will Favor Corporations
 Leads to Activity

NEW YORK, November 30.-The stock market gave abundant evidence of a resumption of speculative interest of the professional class today and the boldness and skill with which the oper- ators conducted their trading pointed to practiced hands. The animated feelings of professional traders during the day was accompanied by many rumors, the chief of which dealth with the forth coming message of the president to con gresS. Some of the most dcmonstrative buyers claimed to have assurances that contents of the message on which they based their assertions were passages dealing with the financial situation and the need of currency reforms and of the intended policy toward corporations, which they say will be found to contain matter for encouragement on the part of corporations in respect to the abate- ment of hostilities.
 The days transactions showed ten deneies to converge on stocks which have always been speculative favorites. The time money market showed increas- ed relaxation, the easing money situa- tion evidently containing means for the resumption of speculative activities.

STRYCHN|NE WAS CAUSE OF VERNA
 WALLACE DEATH
Oakland Coroner Jury Charges Wilkins, Her former Con-
 sort, with Murder

OAKLAND, Cal, November 30.- The following is the verdict rendered by the coroner's jury at the inquest held this morning on the death of Vcrna Wallace:
 "We, the jury, find that Verna Wal lace, aged 34, of nativity unknown, came to her death about the 17th of July. 1907, at Elmhurst; that death was caused by strychnine poisoning admin istered by Mark A. Wilkins, with crim- inal intent, and we charge said Wilkins with the crime of murder
 The verdict was rendered after a few moments delibcration, after four wit nesses had told of the relations that existed between Wilkins and the wo- man he introduced as his wife. Dr. 0. D. Hamlin, who is conducting a chem ical analysis of the woman's stomach, testified that he had proceeded far enough to absolutely declare that death was due to stryehnine poisoning. An other witness, Mrs. A. D. Anderson, said that Wilkins told her that his wife died in an eastern state and again told her that she died at Elmhurst. Mrs. Anderson said she asked him if his wife were really dead and before answering he grabbed her and compelled her to sit in a chair. He then said:
 "I m going to tell you my secret She is dead. She was not my wife and I don t want people around here to know it, to disgrace her..
 Continuing, the witness said; "I asked him where she was buried and he said, That is my business, Another time he told me that l knew too much and had better keep still."
 Wilkins refused to attend the inquest and he was represented by Attorney H. J. MeIsaae.
