JUDGE WAS SEVERE.
HARSH CRITICISM OF BANKER
WALSh's METHODS.
SCORED BANK EXAMINERS
Judge Anderson Interrupted Argu-
ments of Walsh's Lawyer in I
Sharp Arrangements.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-The attorneys
hor John r. Walsh yesterday made q
motion that the pending case against
Walsh in the federal district court be
taken from the jury because OF the
alleged failure of the government to
prove any financial losses had occur
red as q result of transactions of Mr..
Walsh as president OF the Chicago
National bank and also because Of al.
legged failure Of the government to
show that any of the acts charged
had been committed with intent to de-
fraud. Extended arguments followed,
Attorney John S. Miller, acting for
Mr.. Walsh, asserted that the defunct
banks bylaws provided that the
president should be manager and con.
troller of all its affairs.
This evidence, SO far, tends to
show" interrupted Judge Anderson.
that the defendant attempted to
serve two masters, and that is always
a difficult thing to do"
"But not criminal" broke in Miller.
Mr.. Miller argued that the govern
ment had failed to prove that the
various memorandum" notes used by
Walsh were fictitious.
"Of course they were fictitious"
said Judge Anderson "They were
clearly deceptive, and every time one
OF them was entered upon the books
of the bank 1t was a false entry
Mr.. Miller contended that the prac.
tice of using memorandum notes had
the sanction of the bank examiners.
" don't care about that" said Judge
Anderson.
"Any controller or bank examiner
who does that conniyes against the
law and neglects his duty. Had the
controller and bank examiner done
their duty the conditions the evidence
tends, to show existed would not
have gone as far as it did, and this
bank would have been closed up be-
fore it was"
Regarding the investments in the
various Walsh enterprises, Mr.. Miller
argued that he defendant was acting
for the benefit of the bank.
IF all this was done for the bene-
fit Of the bank, and not for himself" )"
said Judge Anderson, chow did it
come that the officer got 81, 400, 900
Of the stock, white the bank got the
bonds? For the purpose of illustra-
ton say this only. If sent a man
out for me to obtain securities and for
the purpose of protecting some debt
that was owing to me, and I got
nothing but the bonds while he got
81 100000 of the stock he and I woNd
have it out right there and right
away"

miral George Dewey was 70 years old
yesterday. He is in splendid health
and robust in physique.
Among his callers were number
pf those who attended the admiral's
birthday dinner last week which was
advanced in date because President
Roosevelt expected to be in Pine
Knot, Va, last night. These callers re.
called happy toast which the presi.

health of the admiral. It was as fol.

ITO the man who has done more
and reflected greater glory on America
than any other man now living"
The toast met with hearty response
from those surrounding the admiral's
table at the Naval Relief association

my little boy, when only an infant
Of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom Of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and light dress Is all he could wear.
/ called one Of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. l had almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
FIRST time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost 75c, and l
would have gladly paid 500 If I could
not have got it cheaper. l feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now boy of five

Supt. Williams and Foreman
Alexander, of the Irvine factory,
went out to HuntIey's lake last
Sunday on fishing trip. Their
luck was something phenomenal,
as they hauled out SO many black
bass and pickerel that the water in
the lake lowered about two inches.
When they observed this, they
thought it was time to quit, as they
had caught about one hundred and
fifty pounds as fine fish as one
could wish for. Bob" won't be-
lieve their story and says he will
find out how much those fish cost
if it takes all summer.

"And what is that big leather
egg for?' asked Hank.
"Football," said I. "It looks to
me as if We were going TO have
some sport" And we did, and of
the most strenuous kind.
Tom got to be the life of the
place. Without him, Hank and 1
would be Looping around the country

plenty of it. too. He first tried
to teach us how to play golf. He
set the ball up on little hunk of
dirt and called that "teeing" IT..
Then he hit it rap with a club,
and l nearly ran my legs off try
ing to stop it. Hank tried it next.
He set the ball up the same as
Tom did, but he did not hit it by a
long shot. He swung his club
back and hit me on the bridge of
my nose. Igot out of the way as
Hank tried it again. He missed
it about a foot. He struck so
hard that his arms raped around
his neck, and the golf stick hit
him on his head.
took a crack at it and did al
most as we'll as Hank. I knocked
it about two feet, dug a hole in
the ground and broke a club. We
next tried football. Tom held the
ball out in front of him, as if it
was dirty, then dropped it, and
when it was almost Oh the ground,
he kicked 1t straight up into the
air. When it dropped, Tom
caught it in the crook of his elbow.
II looked very easy, so I tried it.
I held it just as I had seen Tom
do, and then let it drop. I kicked
with all my might-and missed.
My foot went up and hit me on
top of my head, and when I came
down 1 hit it with the back of my
neck.
Hank laughed himself nearly in.
to spasms, but Tom never cracked
a smile. Then Hank tried it; he
said he could kick it plum over
the first range of mountains in
sight, which were about ten miles
away. He kicked 80 hard that his
other foot slipped out from unde,
him, and as he struck the earth
the impact almost cracked the
farm in two. Whew, but he was
mad! He then went after the ball
for all he was worth and kicked il
almost to pieces.
Tom stayed with us until he had
regained his lost health, and then
went back home. Before he went
however, he dressed up in full
football regalia SO as to give Hank
