CAPTAINS GOODNESS
SAVES PASSENGERS

New York March 13.-Prompt and
determined action on the part OF Cap
tain Appleoy of the Fall River steam
er Providence prevented what other
wise might have been a serious catas-
trophe when fire broke out on the
craft while she was coming up Long
Island sound from Providence early
today,
Three hundred and fifty passengers
were asleep on the Providence when
the fire was discovered on the freight
deck of the steamer, which was then
twenty miles from New York. Fear
ing a panic might ensue the captain
sent a wireless call TO the steamer
Richard Peck of the same line, wnich
he knew was in the vicinity. The call
was answered promptly and the two
steamers neared neach other. The
passengers were awakened and told
of the danger and of the coming of
relief, and were soon transferred to
tne other steamer.
The crew then gave its whole atten-
ton to fighting the fire, which was
soon extinguished. The passengers OF
the Providence showed no signs OF
uneasness when told of the fire

FOR ILLEGAL Use
OF BANKS FUNDS
Plea Was Made That He MiSuSed
Banks Property for Benefit Of
Stockholders. But This
Did Not Win Him
Freedom.

Chicago, March 13.-John II. Walsh.
former president of the Chicago Ma
tional bank, who was convicted few
weeks ago of illegal use of the funds
of the institution, was today denied a
new trial. Judge Anderson of the
United States district court, before
whom Walsh was tried and who re-
fused to grant a new trial, then sem
fenced the former banker to serve
five years in the federal penitentlary
at Fort Leavenworth.
In defending himself from Sthe ac-
! cusation of improper use OF the bank
funds at his recent trial Walsh main
tanned that he did not benefit by di-
verting some of the funds from their
proper use, while virtually admitting
that he was to blame. 1t was con-
tended that in using the banks money
as he did the bank and stockholders
were helped. While he was technical
ly guilty the plea was made that he
acted for the best and chose the less
of two evils.
He will probably begin serving his
sentence in the federal penitentiary
without delay, although 1t Is possible
the case will be appealed first.

ALLEGE BREWERY AND
GOVERNMENT WERE
DEFplsUDED
Sensation Promised as Result
OF Arrest of Albuquerque
Man This Afternoon.
OTHERS MAY BE
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY

In the arrest of Charles Webb, pro-
prietor of the Summer Garden, this
afternoon the United States authori-
ties believe that they have unearthed
a plot whereby both the Southwestern
Brewery & Ice company and the
United States government were being
defrauded out of large sums of
money. How long the alleged swim
die has been going on the authorities
are as yet unable to say.
The use OF cancelled stamps on bar
rels of beer made at the Southwest
ern Brewery & Ice company's plant
in the northern part of the city and
stolen from the company is said to
have been the cause of the arrest OF
Webb, who, it is said. was only a
party to the crime.
According to a statement alleged to
have been made by Webb, immedi-
ately after his arrest, the beer was
brought to his place and purchased
by him at a price one-half the charge
usually made by the Southwestern
Brewery & Ice company. Ten-dollar
kegs, according to this statement,
were sold to him for s., and 50 kegs
at $3.50
The other parties to the alleged
fraud are said to be men formerly
employed by the company but recent
ly discharged. The alleged fraud was
ferreted out oy United States revenue
officers from Santa Fe, who, it is said
have been at work on the case for
several weeks.
A statement could not be had from
d j. Rankin manager of the COM
Pany, this afternoon, owing to the
lateness Of the hour. 1t is believed
that several saloon men beside Webb
are implicated and that other arrests
are likely TO follow.

HAS BIG SLUSH FUND
AND MEMBERSHIP GROWS
All Liquor Interests In United
States Combine to Wage War
Against Dry" Wave Now
Sweeping South All
Cities Represented.

Chicago, March l3.--The Liberty
League, organized and backed by the
LIQUOR interests, is in readiness to
make a desperate effort to annihilate
the Anti-Saloon League and turn
back the prohibition wave which is
now sweeping over the South.
An announcement was made today
of the complete organization of the
Liberty League in every part of the
country. The claim Is made that
since october, when the fight was
first started in earnest, a body has
been organized in every state. The
headquarters is in Chicago and sub
headquarters are maintained in New
York, Atlanta, Louisville, ST. Louis,
Denver, Seattle and San Francisco.
The Unitel states is divided into dis
tricts and each district is in charge
of a sub-headquarters, with the gen.
eral headquarters in this city having
supervision over the fight that will be
waged throughout the country.
1t is stated that branches of the
league are being organized in every
city and many are fully organized
and the membership growing. Each
branch will conduct the fight in its
own locality, receiving the support of
the league in every possible way.
The organization of the league Is
the result of conference of the
| liquor interests. particularly the big
b. ewers. held some months ago. The
Iacquisiuou OF many southern states
and cities by the prohibitionists dur
ing the past year made some action
on the party of the liquor interests
necessary before so many states went
dry" that the business would be ruin
ed, and as a result OF the conference
| 1t was decided to join forces and
make a campaign against the prohi-
bitiOn sentiment.
For this purpose it was recently an
| nounced an enormous fund had been
| subscribed and the aid of everyone
| who uses liquor or favors its use
| would be urged TO aid in the fight.
! AZ is stated that strong branch of
| the league had been organized in New
York and the membership in other
| .arge cities is constantly growing
