Chicago, Jan. 20.-The Tribune to-
day says that for the first time since
the downfall of his banks two years
ago, John r. Walsh consented yester-
day to discuss with newspapermen
the troubles which eliminated last
Saturday, when a federal court jury
adjudged him guilty of violations of
the national banking laws Incident
ally. he spoke of the jury's findings
as ''the so-called verdict"
He is confident that the jury's "al-
legged findings OF fact" will net stand
the test of review by the jurists of the
nations highest courts, and that ne
will yet be exoneratsd Of all charges
made against him. Mr.. Walsh spent
the day at the Grand Central depot
transacting arrears or business for the
enterprises in which he is interested.

IN MEMORY OF
R0bI. {. LEE
Rev. p. H. Whaley Preached
Fine Sermon Eulogizing
Southern Hero.

The memorial services in memory
bof General Robert E. Lee held San
day afternoon az Christ church, were
well attended, all Confederate organ
izations of the city being represent
ed.
The memorial address was deliv-
cred by Rev. P. H. Whaley, of Christ
church. Mr.. Whaley is of the South,
being himself so loyal to all her ira
ditions, one better fitted to eulogize
the leader of Confederacy, could not
have been chosen. His sermon was
well conceived and earnestly deliV-
ederd Underlying the entire theme
was an appal to Southerns to keep
alive the memory and traditions that
have been SO long cherished, and to
keep green the memory of such men
as Lee who typified in his life all
that is best of the manhood of the
South.
Mr.. Whaley referred to his attend
ance at Richmond, Va, at the Tri-
ennial Convention and told of the two
windows in the old st. Paul's church,
commemorative of Mr.. Davis and
General Lee. Near the window to
bronze figure of the Daughter of the
Confeaeracy, Miss Varina, or Winnie
Davis. as the people of the SouAi love
to call her. The inscription on the
window Is from the scene In the Acts
Of the Apostles, Paul before Festus:
II find this man guilty of nothing
worthy of bonds nor Imprisonment"
The window to Lee presents an
localized picture of the, great gener-
al and beneath is the inscription:
HE refused to be the son Of Pha-
roah's daughter, choosing rather to
bear the Affections of the Children
Of God" Two strong sermons in
themselves are these inscriptions,
memorials of a peoples loyalty. and
love to cause that can never die;
the cause. Of Justice and Truth.
The musical program arranged by
Mr. Green was in keeping with the
occasion. Nearer My God to Thee"
and dow Firm a Foundation" Gen
eral Lees two favorite hymns, were
sung by the audience.

PLOT To BLOW
Up WARSHIPS
Anarchists Had Planned To
Destroy the American
Fleet at Rio.
BY Associated Press.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 20.-The Brazilian
police have discovered an anarchists
plot here, having as its object, the de-
struction of part OF the American feet
now lying in the harbOr. The cOnspiI-
acy, while centering in Rio JaneirO
and Petropolis, has ramifcations IN
Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes. An III
dividual named Jean Fedher was the
chief cohspirator here, although II IS
understood that foreign anarchists are
deeply involved in the plot. Fedher IS
believed to have fed to Sac Pauo
and the police, who know him, have
been sent to that place for the purpose
of experimenting him. A detective well
acquainted with Fedher, having served
on the police force at Petropolis for
some time, returned from that place
today, after having made inVestlga-
tions there, and had a long conference
with the chief of police Of Rio Jeneiro;;
The latter gave it to be understood
later that the San Paulo police are
on the track of the arch-conspirator'
and expect to arrest him soon. In az
official note which the chief OF p0llco
sent to the correspondent of the As
ISOLATED Press, he says:
Some time before the arrival 0! the
American fleet at Rio Janeiro the Bra-
lillian government received from
Washington and Paris advices thaI
anarchists of different natiOnalitcs,

this statement, said that he d'd ~. ~.

ON WEST GARDEN STREET DE-

MAN WILL ASK OWNER FOR
PRIVILEGE OF USING IT.

The committee on gardening of the
School Improvement Association met
at school No. 1 yesterday afternoon
to further discuss plans OF seed dis
tributiou, etc. Miss Katie Smith,
chairman, presided.
The flowers and garden seed which
is expected from Senator William j.
Bryan and Representative w. B. La
mar, will arrive at an early date and
the distribution of the packages will
be made at once by the teachers.
Two thousand packages have been
requested of Washington and each
child will be given package. In
the meantime the children have be-
gun to break ground and plan their
gardens for planting as soon as the
seeds arrive.
Boys Club Organized.
Prof. J. B. Jockey stated to the
committee that he had organized the
Boys Club" which is to conduct the
the planting and gardening of the
-.municipal garden" Forty-five boys
of the higher grades in School No.
1 have been chosen as members and
they elected, after organizing yester-
Gay afternoon, Ashton DeLoach,
president, and Jack Wilkerson, sec
retary-treasurer. The boys have
shown no little enthusiasm In the
movement and will work earnestly.
There was some little discussion
as to prize offering, for what, and
how the prizes should be arranged.
Members Of the committee will take
up the matter with county fair asso-
Citations and obtain suggestions from
the secretaries of such associations
on this feature.
Hard to Get Lot.
A lot for the municipal garden"
which is to be operated by the Boys
Club, has not yet been obtained. Sew
eral owners have been approached
by members OF the committee but
none have offered the use of their
property for this purpose. The asso-
citation desires to obtain the use of
vacant property centrally located
upon which may besplanted vegetables
and flowers that can be grown in this
county. 1t is desirable to obtain a
lot as near the central portion OF the
city as possible, SO that it may be-
come one of the points of interest to
visitors in the city
A lot on west Garden street has
been designated as one most desir-
able and Mayor Goodman, who was
present at the meeting, will try to
obtain the consent of the owner to-
day to use this lot, so that the boys
may begin breaking the ground as
soon as possible.
Several practical gardeners of the
city have offered to assist in direct
ing the boys all possible in carry
ing on the planting and culture Of
the garden.
