BANKER WALSH
SECURES DELAY
BY APPEALING
Released Under 5O,OOO Bonds,
Fights Five=year Prison
Sentence.
7O-YEAR-OLD DEFENDANT
GETS MINIMUM PENALTY
Court Admits Leniency Shown
Because of Former Finan-
cier's Age.

CHICAGO, March 1~3.-John r. Walsh,
former president of the Chicago Ma
tional Bank, convicted of Illegal use of
the funds of that institution, was today
denied a new trial by Judge Anderson,
of the United States District Court,
and sentenced to serve five years in the
Federal p~enitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth.
Attorneys for the defense entered a
motion in arrest of Judgment. which
they argued for some time. 1t was
generally thought about the courtroom
that they would consume two or more
hours in giving their reasons for the
granting of the motion, but Attorney
Hart, who presented it. ceased speak
ing in about thirty minutes. Judge An
derson then promptly ovefruled the
motion and sentenced the banker to five
years in Fort Leavenworth.
Threaten Indictment.
'Tt is claimed by the defense said
the judge, that while in a variety
theatre one of the jurors in his trial
removed the garter of an actress. What
that has to do with this case l cannot
imagine. and why dignifed counsel
should bring it into this case is beyond
my comprehension. 1t has no logical
or possible relation to the deliberations
of the jury"
Turning to the prisoner Judge Ander-
son said:
MIR. Walsh, have you anything to
say why l should not now, pronounce
judgment upon your"
Walsh Keeps Seat.
Walsh, without arising, shook his
head slightly, and the u said:
The, character of the evidence and
the character of the crime of which this
defendant has been found guilty call
for extreme Judgment. The facts are,
however, that this defendant is 20 years
old, and that mere Imprisonment is of
itself so heavy a punishment in a case
Of this kind, | have concluded thai the
law will be satisfied with the minimum
penalty. which is five years."
The court further directed thai all
the counts in the indictment be served
concurrently, and further directed that
the defendant pay the entire cost of
the trial.
An application was Immediately made
TO Judge Grosseup, of the United
States Court of Appeals, for a super
sedeas, which was granted, and Walsh
was released under bonds of 10000
pending the hearing Of his appeal.

PASTOR PLEADS
FOR wANT|COCA|NE
BILLS PASSAGE
Its Failure Would Be Calamity,
the Rev. John Mcdowell
Declares.
GRAND JURY YEAR AGO
WRESTLED WITH SUBJECT
Ministers Going to Trenton to
Fight for Enactment of
Measure.

81 should regard it as nothing short
of a calamity should THE EVENING
STARS anti-cocaine bill fail to pass"
said the REV. John Mcdowell. pastor of
the Park Presbyterian Church. today.
During my service on the grand
jury a year ago we went into the ques-
ton of cocaine selling very extensively.
Many victims brought in by the sheriff
came before us, and heir condition
convinced me that the traffic in the
drug was one of the greatest evils in
the city.
Amend h Law.
ut seems to me. then, that If our
present law is not adequate to deal
with the seller and buyer we ought to
have it amended to make either buy
ing or selling a criminal offense. :
1.-THE only interests that can oppose
the passage, in my judgment, are those
who have not the welfare of the city
and the children of the city at heart.
II sincerely hope that something will
be done which will be effective in deal
ing with this growing evil"
Hearing Next MOnday.
The hearing on the bill, which will
take place in the State House at Tren-
ton at 2:15 Monday afternoon, will be
one of the most important of this ses-
sion. a delegation of ministers and
others interested in the passage of the
bin have signified their intention of
being present and doing all in their
power to insure its becoming a law.
The Rev. Robert Scott Inglis. pastor
of the Third Presbyterian Church, in
spite of his many duties on that day.
has declared that if it a possibly be
arranged he will be one OF the dele
cation.
What showing the interests inlnlical
to the bill will make at the hearing Is
not yet known. 1t is generally felt that
any defending their cause will
place himself in direct opposition to
who. are trying 10 improve the
moral and physical welfare of Newark.
AS yet there has appeared no opposi-
ton to the bill in the ranks OF the
legislators. The present law govern
ing the sale of cocaine IL enforced i'm
poses but a comparatively slight PEN
atty, and the need for moe stringent
legislation in view of the facts brought
out by Sheriff Sommer in his work is
apparent to most Of them.

sular appointments for Kansans. The
Kansas delegation has Endorsed o. H.
Bentley of Wichita for appointment
as minister to Central American
government. Senator Curtis asked
Mr.. Roosevelt to give Bentley the first
vacancy. Mr.. Curtis commended that
Kansas had not received its share of
diplomatic and consular appoint
ments. He said that it was entitled to
two good diplomatic places and that
1t had only received one. It was en-
titled to six good consulships. but has
only two.
The senator also called President
Roosevelt's attention to the fact that
| when Major Heimpke. formerly of
Leavenworth, was appointed minister
to Colombia, 1t was with the under
standing that that appointment
should not interfere with the appoint
ment of Bentley. The president said
he would give Bentley place at the
| first opportunity.
