united the qualities of popular leader.
with an earnest desire for the welfare
of the people. Apart from the reli.
gious practices of the time with their
revolving rites, we find no blot on his
name of tyrannous greed or wanton
cruelty.
There have been great souls in ev-
cry age, those who, lighting on dark
times, have CROPPED their way towards
the light. By these great ones en-
thuslasms are kindled, hearts stirred.

the times in which he lived, he stands
alone-a lofty figure among his con-
temporaries. Let his place be among

SUPPLEMENTAL

A supplemental distribution account
Of the estate Of Frances E. Hebron was
filed in the Circuit Court yesterday on
behalf Of T w. Hebron. In filing his
final account lately an error of 1925
was made, a charge of s12 having been
made when only 1915 had actually been
paid out. This left 1925 still TO be dis
trtbuted among the three persons enti-
tied. and receipts for $1.75 from each
for respective share were filed.

capital stock to himself, and that he
borrowed millions on memorandum
notes from the Chicago National Bank,
Home Savings Bank and Equitable
Trust Company to promote his private
enterprises.
They will ask the court to take the
case from the jury and dismiss the In
dictment. because Walsh followed
.precedents set by bankers generally;
because he believed the stock he sold
his own banks at $50 per cent profit
was worth all he got for It; because
the comptroller of the currency and
national bank examiner knew of the
memorandum notes for nearly two
years and acquiesced in their use by
failing to prohibit continuation of the
practice, and because no criminal
prosecution can be made of bankers
who ignore the prohibiting of the lend
ing of more than 10 per cent of the
capital of bank TO one individual.
The motion for Walsh's dismissa
will be made as soon as the govern
ment's evidence is finished.

Fredonia, N. Y, Nov. 16.-Taking
advantage of a perfect autumn day.
Edward Payson Weston overstepped
his schedule for Thursday by IL miles.
He was to stop at Silver Creek for the
night, but It was still daylight when
he arrived there and it was decided
to continue the western journey to

In good condition. The crowds which
greeted Weston along his route grow
larger and more demonstrative every
day. Many people walked several
miles on the lake shore to meet him
Thursday evening. When within a
mile of Fredonia he had a gallery OF
several hundred. Weston stopped at
the old pioneer cemetery, a mile east
of here, and placed wreath of autumn
leaves on the tomb of Elias Forbes, q
friend of boyhood days.
Weston has covered 734 miles Of his
remarkable journey and it is confident

WOMAN SHARED
IN DOWNFALL
RECENT TROUBLES OF BARNEY
CAUSED WIFE TO BECOME
REcoNCILED.
AT HOME BEFORE TRAGEDY
Divorce Proceedings Were Pending at
Time Of Finaneier's Failure
Suicide Theory Is
Doubted.

New York, Nov. 16.-Close friends
of Charles T. Barney, deposed presi-
dent of the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany, who killed himself in his Park
avenue mansion. declared that worry
over his marital relations had no
doubt prompted his act as much as his
brooding over the loss of financial
prestige.
The estrangement between Mr.. and
Mrs. Barney had existed for a long
time, and after the marriage of their
youngest daughter they separated.
The bankers attentions to a society
woman are said to have been the cause
of the differences. Mrs. Barney is de-
clared to have begun proceedings for
divorce, and would shortly have been
awarded a decree in this city. 1t
would have been an undefended action
before a referee, with all the papers
sealed and only the bare decree on the
public record. The correspondent, II
is understood, was referred to in the
paper under the legal fiction, Jane
Doe"
Moved to Pity.
In the hour of his adversely and
despair Mrs. Barney was moved to
pity. A few days ago she returned to
him with the offer, 1t is said, Of every
penny of her personal fortune IL II
would serve TO tide him over. His
friends declare that after this unex
pected generosity his despair became
tinged with remorse. At any rate, Il
was Mrs. Barney who soothed his las
hours, holding his head in her lap unit
the surgeons came and administered
an anaesthetic.
After the examination by Coroner
Harberger he expressed the opinion
that It was case of suicide, and sait

washington, Nov. 16.-After con-

and his assistants decided to make a
further effort to bring out the facts
concerning the statement made at the

The government concluded its pre-
sentation in the trial of Mrs. Bradley
at 1910 o'clock. Max Brown, the son
of the man who was killed, was the
last witness, but his testimony was
not important.
Mrs. Bradley preceded both Judge
Stafford and the jury in the court room
and thus obtained a few moments OF
priyate conversation with her counsel,
Judge Powers, to whom she seems to
turn instinctively in every emergency

prisoner by United States Senator
Sutherland, whose conversation was
not heard by the witness, and also
Of visit by Detective Grant of the
local police force.
She said she had heard the detective
tell Mrs. Bradley that anything she
might say would be used against her

BASE PLEA ON PRECEDENT
VIII Ask Court to Direct AcquittsI on
Close OF Governments Case
Admit the Sale of
Stock.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-On the claims
that John r. Walsh was guilty of moth
ing more criminal than bad judgment
in misapplying s21, 100000 of the funds
of his banks, and that the banking
laws are a dead letter, the accused's
lawyers will ask for his dismissal with
out the submission of evidence in his
behalf.
The attorneys contend the provision
of the law concerning the limitation OF
loans to any individual to 10 per cent
of banks capital is not prohibitory,
but merely advisory. They insist that
the entire penalty for violation of this
provision is civil liability for loss and
possible revocation of the banks char
ter
Attorney Ritscher, who is said to
have advised Walsh during the entire
course of his transactions, says the
law is not applicable to bankers who
profit by its violation, as it is "min'
imized" every day by all big bankers
who have any business judgment.
Admit Stock Sales.
To observe the law would ruin most
of the big banking institutions, the
Walsh lawyers assert. They admit

sold it to banks at 30 cents; that he

Her Alleged Confession.
After further testimony to pave the
way for Detective Grants statement,
he was called to the stand, but before
he could proceed Mr.. Hoover made OBJ
lection on the ground that Mrs. Brad
ley's statement to the detective was
not voluntary and therefore not ad-
missible. Judge Stafford decided, how
ever, that it was proper, and Grant
proceeded. He said:
Mrs. Bradley told me that she was
a companion of Mr.. Brown; that she
had lived with him for long time
and had children by him. I asked her
how she came to shoot him, but she
would not answer that. asked her II

make a little sketch symbolic of the

great pleasure. and the next year Mr..
Dobson determined to follow up the
idea on a larger scale. and by having
his card photographed was enabled to

friends. The delight with which they
were received was so great that Mr..
Dobson was quick to perceive tina he
had found a new pleasure for Christ.

1000 PLUM PUDDINCS
FROM ONE M
One Pair Of Hands Sends Combined
Delights and indigestion to Many
Lands.

That one fraii little woman ShouiA
supply some 5000 people with plum
ruddings for their Christmas diniter-
seems almost incredible. Yet there Is.
n woman who has proved equal to the
task of thus scattering combined de-;
light and Indigestion to the ends of the.
earth. Her success goes To prove thei
fact so often stated that nowadays for
tune comes 10 the woman vino will

1t was born. in upon Mrs. Dudley;
Miller. IA yourg widow in a northerni
New York town. that if she ever hoped
To become sel~f-supporting or rise ON the
ladder CT fame. il would be by utilizing3
her one talent which seemed to be that
OF making delicious plum buildings. Tho
fame of Mrs. Millcr's buildings hadI
been = by-word in her family from timei
tried. About 1t hung II flavor of ro-,
inmeporial. The receipt was old and
nance. for IT had been handed down
from mother to daughter since olonial
days. and the finished product had
Graced the hospitable board upon many

From first supplying friends with
this gastronomic delicacy. Mrs. Miller
began supplying her friends friends:
her fame gradually spread and she be-
gan to receive orders from otheN
sources until now her clientele stretch
es from Maine to California. n She
is scarcely able to supply the demand.
Orders come even from far away eng
land, where IL has long been supposed.
that the Christmas plum pudding exists
In its perfect state, and Americans in
Rome, Italy. DESTROYS of enjoying his
nome d~clicacy on Christmas day AVE
sent even that distance for them.
Mrs. Miller believes i'm the old saying
that If you Il thing done we'll you
must do it yourself. and so she employs
no outside help. although she has the
assistance of some members of her
household. They begin work early In,
November. There are hundreds OF
nuts to be cracked. thousands of raisinS
to be stoned millions of curants to be-
stemmed. as well as all of the other
good things to he thought of hat go
to make up n plum pudding worthy of

gradients are prepared and thoroughly
beaten together, the steaming process
ensues. after which the RICH. brown
loavcs are all ready to be packed and
sent to their respective destinations.
In preparing Il special commodity for
the market. 1T Is a we'll known fact
that the manner in which 1t is done up
largely affects the sale. So Mrs. Miller
offers her wares to the public in as
dainty n dress as the article and occa-
sion demands. First. each pudding is
wrapped I'm paraffine paper. then in Il
heavier quality of white paper. After
ward they are tied with bright scarlet
satin ribbon in which are slipped small
air in keeping with the season. In
each box there is placed n slip of pa
per containing directions for the brandy
sauce, the burning of which, as every
one knows. is n very important part OF
q Christmas dinner.
