UNEMPLOYED RUSH TO HOMES ABROAD
Liners Leave Here with $3.50 in Steerage-
Expect Exodus of $4,000 in Three Weeks.

Three steamers which sailed for Europe yester-
day took out I'm the steerage $40 passengers and
from the advance bookings the various trans
atlantic lines II is thought that within the next
three weeks at least fifty thousand steerage
passengers will leave this port for Europe.
Tho booking Is somewhat larger than II for
the corresponding months of last year. but this s
attributed partially To tho financial depression IN
this country. II is thought In steamship circles
that the closing down of mills and mines and
plants I'm various parts of the United States is the
cause Of the laborng classes returning to the old
country until conditions adjust themselves
The steerage rush 10 Europe generally begins In
the first part of November and lasts until the third
week in December. and. while the number of emil
grants booked eastward this year is somewhat
larger, there is nothing striking in tho difference.
For many years the steamship lines. especially
those operating to points In Southern Europe have
taxed by steerage passengers anxious to spend

counted an unsecured note. that neither the
bank nor Mr.. Walsh ever bought bond that
was worthless. and that the payments made by
Mr.. Walsh by the bank were perfectly proper
and in the due of business.
Mr. Ritsher said the defence would show that
Mr. Walsh made no unjustified loans. and de-
clared that the question to be decided by the
jury will narrow down to one of good faith ana
honest intent instead of crime. 1t will be
shown. he said that instead of Mr.. Walsh owing
money TO the bank he actually its creditor

that while similar suit brought by the Brook

monopoly all the city could do was to come into
court and prove that the price charged was ez-

lowed by law he thought reason why that
