DETECTIVES
Engaged by Walsh are
Keeping Close Watch
Over Witnesses in
Bank Case.
MILLIONAIRES INvOL we'd

Chicago. Jan. 14.-Attorneys and
detectives for John R. Walsh are main
tanning the closest possible surveil-
lance over the witnesses and officials
engaged in the grand jury examina-
tion of the affairs of the defunct Chi
cago National bank, of which Walsh
was president. Lawyers for the for
mer banker admitted as much today
and told their reasons. In the first
place, they say, the investigation was
inspired and is being pushed by I'm
ancial and political enemies of Walsh.
The latters lawyers declare they feel
it necessary for them to know as much
about these alleged enemies as possi-
BILE, and that they already have evil
dence that will create a tremendous
disturbance if the case is actuallyscar-
ried into the courts. Then, too, they
propose to be ready with testimony
concerning other bankers declared to
have committed the same irregulari-
ties as those charged to the Walsh in
stitution. While some of these acts
may be, it is conceded, violations of
the strict letter of the law, they are
asserted to be harmless and to be
common in nearly every large financial
concern in the country. If Walsh must
suffer, his lawyers say, they will see
to it that similar proceedings are in
stituted against hundreds of other
highly respected millionaire finan-
ciers. 1t is reported tonight that sew
eral of the men accused Of going too
far in maintaining this espionage over
the prosecutions witnesses and repre-
sentatives will be called before the
grand jury to explain themselves.

The Eur Trade.

The fur trade of North America has
always been largely conducted on
the principal of barter, writes Luncan
Macarthur in the New England Maya
zine. The transactions with the In
dians are carried on in very simple
manner. When hunter brings In his
collection of furs to any trading post,
which he usually does twice a year,
in October and March, he is taken to
the trading room, where the official
in charge carefully examines, classi-
fies and values each skin, and when
the whole pack is gone over he hands
the Indian a number of tallies, or
small pieces of wood or metal, each
representing the value of made
beaver" and the whole representing
the value of the entire catch.
The Indian then proceeds to the
storeroom and selects such articles as
he requires-blankets, capots, guns,
knives, tea, tobacco, etc.-in payment
for which he hands back his tallies
until they are ali gone and his pur-
chasing powers are exhausted. He
then departs, another hunter takes HIS
place and Is dealt with in a similar
manner, and so on until all the furs
in the possession of the whole band
Of Indians have passed into the
hands of the trader. Formerly 1t was
customary to give good hunter a
dram" and some small presents in
appreciation of his industry.

st. Joseph, Mich, Jan. 14.-In a fit of
jealous rage Edward Moore, a farmer
living near this city shot an officer
who appeared at the door of his home,
then his wife, who stood near by, and
lastly made three determined efforts
to kill himself. His wife is dangerous
ly wounded. the officer lies at the
point OF death, but the would-be muir
derer has every chance of recovery.
Moore and his wife separated last
Wednesday, and he refused to allow
her to take her belongings. She left
the house. Today with Deputy Sher-
iff Pearl the woman came to the rear
door. Moore appeared behind the glass
and informed the officer that he could
not enter. II am an officer" replied
Pearl, showing his star. You are,
are you?" snarled Moore and opened
the door, pulled a revovler and shot
Pearl through the breast. AS the Of
ficer backed away and placed his hand
to his gun Moore shot him again, and
still again, then turning to his wife
and despite her screams and cries for
mercy, shot her through the breast.
The would-be murderer then disap-
peared and the deputy, bleeding from
three wounds. carried the moaning
woman to the rig and attempted to
drive to nearby farmhouse, He was
found by farmers in fainting condi-
tion. Moore entered his barn, climb
ed to the loft, and made preparations
for his death. He reloaded his gun
and attempted to fire several bullets
into his head. Failing to end his life
In this manner Moore drew his pocket
knife and hacked at his wrist in an
to sever an artery, not con-
tent with this, he sawed at his throat,
but the weapon was too dull to cut
deeply, and he failed again. Then TAX
ing matches from his pocket he set
fire to the hay and tainted from the
loss of blood. Here he lay amid the
flames until several farmers who were
to save the horses STUN
bled over him, drew him out, covered
with blood and badly burned.

POWDER TRUST
ATTACKED IN CON-
GRESS.
Validity of Its Patents Is
Questioned.
The Senate Gets Into a
Sharp Argument Over
Presidents Discharge
of Colored Troops.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Representa
tive Hepburn, (Rep., Iowa., has con
ceived the idea of putting an end to
the powder trust by attacking the val
idity of its patents covering smokeless
powder. He sprung this plan on the
floor of the house today, Representa-
tive Smith (Rep., Ia), in charge Of the
fortfication appropriation bill under
discussion didn't think much of the
scheme Mr.. Hepburn thought the
validity might be questioned on the
ground that the United States should
have patents inasmuch as the inven-
tions were made by officers in its en-
ploy. Mr.. Smith explained that the
obligation to the government had been
discharged ythe officers, before sell
ing the rights to the powder trust,
giving the government the right to
manufacture this powder without the
payment of a royalty.
While the fortifcation bill was un-
: der consideration, ex-Speaker Keifer,
of Ohio, criticized the appropriation
committee for not providing for more
Notifications in the Philippines He
said that leaving them unfortified in

SUNDAY BASEBALL
In Danger OF Being Exterminated In
Observation-Disclosures
Clubs Make Threats.

Chicago, Jan. IA threat to stop
Sunday baseball in chicago was hurled
at President Murphy of the Cubs, to-
day. 1t came from the city semi-pro-
fessional clubs, who fear that Murphy
is about to lease the National league
park here to an outlaw semi-profes-
sional club on Saturdays and Sundays
when the Cubs are on the road. The
team is to be managed by Frank Nc
Nichols. The latter must get his re.
lease from Des Moines before he can
manage new nine, but it is under
stood that this can be arranged and
Murphy says he looks favorable on
the offer for his park. The locals told
Murphy today that they will block the
game by move to stop Sunday ball
in the city altogether.
Il don't care if they do" said Muir
ply. II would like to see it stopped
everywhere. They don't have it in
New York or Plttsburg and those clubs
make barrels of money. We can do
the same thing here"

ATROCIOUS CASE
Peonage Accompanied by Extreme
Brutality Brought to Light.


Brutality Brought to Light.
Washington Jan. 1.-THE depart
ment Of justice has received details of
particularly atrocious case of peon-
age in Rankin county Miss. Levi D.
Carter, a white farmer, after brutally
beating a negro, who was In debt to
him, forced the negro to consent to be
sold with his entire family. Another
white farmer named Patrick, paid
$1,000 for the family. He was dis
charged later upon the statement of
the negro that he had not forcibly de-
tanned any of them In captivity. Car
ter and several of his neighbors are
out on bond. The attorney general
announces that peonage practices will
be punished If 1t is within the power
Of the government to accomplish it.

would press consideration of his reso-
luton calling for an investigation. Mr..
Mallory said of all occupants OF the
white house, President Roosevelt had
manifested the palmer intention OF
uplifting the colored race and elevat-
ing them to positions of honor and
trust whenever he could. Mr. Clay
opposed any further investigation, de-
claring that It would be waste of time
and money. Il approve and applaud
the presidents conduct because l be-
lieve he did right" he exclaimed.
Mr.. Bacon got sharp rise out OF
Mr.. Tillman by having read an extract
from South Carolina paper which
showed that during the dispensary
riots in that state, Mr.. Tillman, then
governor, had exercised the same pow
er which he had denied to the presi-
dent, In dismissing a militia company
as unworthy. The South Carolinian
explained that the militia had been
called out to suppress an insurrection
and that in the face of duty they had
mutinied, and had tried to resign. He
declared that there was no analogy be-
tween that case and the present one.
Mr.. Bacon said that he thought the
senator had acted clearly within his
rights as governor.
Il dismissed the men as company
and not as individuals" retorted Mr..
Tillman.
Mr.. Bacon-"The president went the
senator one better and dismissed three
companies" Uaughter.)
Mr.. Spooner said he had no criti-
cism to make of the action of the ex-
governor of South Carolina. From
what know of him / am only surpris-
ed at his moderation, and suppose the
troops were white" he exclaimed. IF
not, the senator would probably have
had them lynched." (Laughter,)
Mr.. Tillman-"Thank God, we have
no other kind than white militia"
Mr.. Spooner expressed great SYM
pathy for the colored soldiers and
the colored men. "They have been
vindicated Overwhelmingly in their
rights to be soldiers" he declared.
He said he envied no man in narrow
hate which would lead him to indict
race of people such as Mr. Tillman
had done recently.
Mr.. Tillman-"I don't hate the race;
l simply feel that am superior to it."
Mr.. Spooner-"That is question /
decline to discuss"
Mr.. Tillman-"Doesn't the senator
think that the white man is superior
to the black mani"
Mr.. Spooner-"I think a good white
man is better than a bad colored
man." Uaughter).
Mr. Spooner declared that the senate
precedent in this case. 'If the pres
ident of the United States has, as
the senator from South Carolina
thinks, usurped in an unjust way, to
the prejudice of a citizen. power
which he doesn't possess, it is clear
to me that the senate ought to inves-
tigate ~"
In pointing out the functions of the
senate as court of impeachment the
senator exclaimed:
1T would be a hard thing if articles
Of impeachment against an officer of
the government should reach this
chamber to find the court had already
it, having investigated the
matter and formed its opinion"
At this point Mr.. Spooner conclud-
I'd for the day.

to the officials of employing associa-

stricted. 1t Is argued that the old ap-
premiership system has become made
luate and ii is denied that the move.
