S. Rogers, the New Britain Savings
Banks counsel in New York city. AT
ter being sentenced Walker was ques-
toned in Jail for hours by Detective
Dougherty and Attorney Rogers, and it
is believed he then gave them in
formation Of what had done with the
stolen securities.
The courtroom was crowded with
financially interested persons when
Walker appeared there at II o'clock.
court, but the only person he bowed
to was julius H. Pease, the New Bri-
tain man who identified him when he
was captured at Ensenada.
Speaking of that part of the case,
Detective Hoffman of Los Angeles, who
made the arrest, said that notwith-
standing Walkers denial he did at
tempt suicide twice When put under
arrest he endeavored to draw his pistol
and kill himself, and later, on the way
back to California, he was caught un-
corking a small vial of deadly poison.
Walkers wife, who was the only
person who wrote to him at Ensenada,
is in i'll health and did not see her
husband last night or today. She had
professed ignorance of his whereabouts
when detectives were looking for him.
Some of his relatives came from New
Britain with clean linen, somewhat
improving his dilapidated appearance.

COURT
ENJOINS STRIKERS
SHIPPING MEN DECLARE
THAT UNION sTEVEDORES ARE
RESTRAINING TRADE.

SEATTLE (Wash.), July 25.-Fed-
eral Judge G. H. Hanford today grant
ed an injunction restraining the Puget
Sound Council of Longshoremen and
the Pacific Coast Federation of Long
shoremen from interfering with the
work of the Alaska Steamship Com
pany and the Alaska Pacific Steamship
Company, on the grounds that the
strikers were affecting commerce be-
tween the States in violation of the
Sherman law. The complaint alleged
that the longshoremen have entered
into a conspiracy to monopolize the
handling of freight on the wharves
and to restrain commerce between the
States of Washington and California
and the Territory of Alaska, compell-
ing shipowners to employ members of
their union.
The complaint also recites that
threats of physical force have been
made. 1t is stated that on Tuesday
strikers boarded the steamship Jeffer-
son and assaulted non-union men who
were at work slowing cargo, and
threats to kill were made. The same
thing happened aboard the Santa Clara
and both boats were forced to sail
without full cargoes The hearing on
making the injunction permanent was
set for October 3rd.

GOES To PRISON
Embezzler Given Sentences Which Ag-
gregate Twenty
Years.
HE MAY NOT SURVIVE TERM.
Belief That the Hartford Banker Told
What He Did With
Securities.
HE MAY NOT SURVIVE TERI

HARTFORD Comm, July 25.-In a
cell in the State prison at Wetherfield
tonight sits a shaven and shorn man
of 62 years, whom few would recognize
as William F. Walker, former treas
urer of the New Britain Savings Bank,
which he robbed. Walker was SEN
fenced Immediately after he had plead
ed guilty this forenoon before Judge
Shumway of the Superior Court to four
counts of indictment alleging the en-
bezzlement of more than half a million
dollars worth of bonds from the bank.
Walker in court sought to screen his
face from the general gaze with his
hands. The four counts to which he
pleaded guilty charged the embezzle-
ment of $470,22O. The Judge sentenced
him on each count to not more than
five years nor less than one year in
prison, the aggregate maximum term
being twenty years. He may earn a
deduction of four years by good be-
havior, but the general belief is that
he will not live out his term.
Another indictment containing eight
counts of forgery, and third, alleg-
ing the embezzlement of $4,000 from
the Connecticut Baptist Association
were not pressed, and therefore it is
generally supposed he has given in
formation concerning the whereabouts
of a portion of the stolen bonds or of
the manner in which he lost them, if
his tale about being trimmed by two
sharpers who made him an attractive
and apparently sound business propo-
sition be true.
The announcement that he would
plead guilty was made early this fore
noon after an extended conference with
his son, his sister and her husband,
Judge John Coats of New Britain
State Attorney M. Alcorn, George S
Dougherty, the New York superinten-
dent of detective agency, and Noah

CITY BOOKS ARE STOLEN Political Sensation in
 Mobile. WERE TO BE EXAMINEa Taken From Office of Clerk
 Dame. Mayor Lyons says Auditors VIII Be Able to Check Affairs without
 Them--Detective.
 at Work.

Mobile, March 23.--(Spevial. --Th, police department is endeavoring tc locate an unknown person who visited the office of City Clerk Danne in the municipal building some time between the closing of the office Saturday after. noon at o'clock and the opening hour this morning, and stole the cash and bill books of the city.
 This discovery, following the an- nouncement by the Business Govern. ment Club that accountants would to- day examine the books, has caused a real political sensation. The Govern- ment Club is the recently perfected or- ganization which has put forth a ticket for election in the next municipal cam paign.
 There are no clues to the perpetra- tor or perpetrators of the theft In his recent message Mayor P. J.. Lyons showed that he had reduced the deficit of the city about $I1,000. This fact displayed the executive ability of Mayor Lyons. It was great feather in his cap in the campaign for re-elec- tton.
 Mayor Lyons issuad the following statement concerning the theft:
 The bill book and cash book part of the records of the City Clerks of- flee were stolen during the time be- tween the closing of the clerks ofdce on Saturday at o'clock and the open- ing hour this (Monday) morning. The perpetrators of this act have not as yet been located. although the original re- cords and books of entry are still on hand and as will be noted by the fol- lowing certificate of Messrs. Chaudron and Horton, they are sufficient to en- able the missing books to be replaced and an accurate statement prepared for the year ending February 20. 1908.''
 The following is the certificate re- ferred to by Mayor Lyons as issued by Messrs. Chaudron and Horton:
 The undersigned hereby certify that notwithstanding the fact that two of the books of the City Clerks ofIice are missing, the check books and the orig inal records of receipts from all sources are still on hand. and from these records the missing books can be re-compiled, and we can, therefore, make an acurate audit of the financial operations of the city for the past year.
 Il. De V. Chaudron,
 IF. c. Horton"
 ''The missing books have been kept dn the desk for the past several years" {" said City Clerk Dame. They were too large to be placed in a safe, hence it was recessary to leave them on the desk. The missing books will not In any manner affect the workings of my department as we have memoranda of every transaction separate from the entries In the books.
 T cannot conceive the purpose of the party or parties in taking the books from my ofiice." er

 The biggest part of the damage was between Atmore and Bay Minette and Pollard and F1omaton. Coming out of Mobile no trains could get any farther north than Bay Msnette, and from Bay Minette to Mobile every side-track held either a freight or passenger train--and sometimes several.
 The vestibuied limited train, No ss, due in Montgomery from New Orleans at $50 yesterday morning, and the fast mall train. No. g., due from New Orleans at 7:45 a. nns did not get in at all yesterday. and were only able to get past Bay M;nette at 8 o'clock last night. Both trains had to move very cautiously and they were expected not to reach Montgomery until after 3 o'clock this morning. Train No. 6. due from New Orleans at 6 D. m., and No. {. due at s:30 p. m.. did not get Tn yesterday evening, both having been tied up at Bay Minette. Train No, 5. the local passenger that leaves Mont- gomery for Mobile and New Orleans at a. m.. went down as far as Fiona ton yesterday and from. Flomaton to Montgomery came back as train No. 6. with the local passengers between here and F1omaton. Tram No. 1, the through passenger that leaves here for New Orleans at 11:15 a. m., got as far as F1omaton yesterday and was tied up. Train No. 8. leaving here for New Orleans at s:15 p. m.. went down last night and though creeping along after passing Atmore, got through all right. the track having been made passable by 10 o'clock last night.
 Fortunately there were only two wrecks out of all the muss and nobody killed outright. Freight train No. 10 ran into a washout south of Flomaton and ditched the engine and sixteen loaded cars, while at Dyer's Creek light engine coming north ran into a washout and was ditched.
 The Chicago ball team was on train No. 2, and did net get to Mobile until this morning, going right through to Birmingham, and reaching there about 8 o'clock this morning. Trains were made up and sent to Nashville as No. 3 yesterday morning and No. { last night. the Western making up trains to go to Atlanta morning and night.
