WALSH LAWYER SCORED
BY THE TRIAL JUDGE

CHICAGO. Jan. A-Federai Judge
Anderson sharply rebuked John r.
Walsh's attorneys today for what ne
characterized ian effort to do the court
an injustice by creating an unfair i'm
preston
Just after the noon adjournment Judge
Anderson said he had been informed
one Of the defendants counsel had COM
planned 70 a reporter that the court,
without initiative on the part Of the
Government 3 laWye;S excluded a dOcu-
ment from the record yesterday. The
inference was that the court was unduIy
active IN aiding The Government. Judge
Anderson declared that such a state
ment was UnwaTranted. Attorney Miller
replied that as far as he knew, the
Walsh lawyers had deported themselves
In a proper manner.
An evidence Of the legitimacy of the
Walsh transactions, the defense IN
troduced city OFFICIALS from Terra Haute.
Ind, and other cities, to show his rail
road building had been beneficial to
these towns.
Walsh's lawyers made an unsuccessful
attempt to have stricken from the rec
ords the admission Of J. y, Faithorn,
former vice president Of the Chicago
and Alton railroad, and e witness for
the defense, that ne was once convicted
and fined for relating.

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

The American Ice Company for the
nscai year earned a net profit OF only
Ia per cent. The decrease IN gross was
nearly $4,000 The total assets are
Si5'0gl,40s. The strike Of tho drivers N
New York last summer proved very
serious.
Swift & Co. OF Chicago, did $3.50 900. 900
OF business IN 1901. There was added 10
the surplus S2803, SO. and the total is
now $l5.200.00l The regular dividend OF
Z per cent was paid.
Copper production for 1907 will total
Sc, l94, 900 pounds. against 81. so. 900
pounds in 1906.
The advance in American Sugar last
week has beeen something Of a lesson
to the shorts. There has rarely been
much OF this stock floating around and
the manner in which the shorts sold It
surprised Its friends and. eventually, the
shorts themselves.
While there were mare inquiries for
investment, the market stin continues
largely professional.
Reiteration Is heard on the street of
the report that the Northern Pacific
Company intends % pay SO a share
extra dividend on the stock.

WASHINGTON BOARD
TAKES BRIGHT VIEW
Gas Stocks Expected to Be
Lively When Decision
Comes.
Capital Traction May Be
Represented in >ival's
Board.

The chief feature OF the Washington
stock market for the past week has
/ been hOpefulness, announcements. and a
belief that better times are shead. Much.
Of course, depends on the elections and
annual meetings. II the local utility
and other corporations make good earn.
/ ings and enter the new year In good
financial shape. there should te a good
investment demand before the, year IS
well under way.
Local commission and brokerage
houses expect a better market. they. an
ticipate q lively line OF trading IN the
Gas stocks Just as soon as these COM
panies shall have either been refused
the right 70 double their capitalization
OF enjoiued from doing it. The uncer-
tainty is against activity.
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
feTTed stock Is the only one on the list
that has made much progress toward a
higher level, although Greene Cananea
has also moved up to nearly q point
above where 81 was a short time ago,
but this has been due entirely TO the
betterment IN New York and not to any
local influence.
The rise in Washington Railway pre-
ferred has been steady and quite
marked. The annual meeting, January
IS. may and may not furnish interesting
developments. but wagers have been
freely offered that the election Of direc-
tors and officers at that time viii show
a very fair representation Of interests
said TO be identified with Capital Trac-
ton Company in the board OF directors
Of the other Washington street railway.
II does not mean an immediate con-
soIdation, but 1t Is within the probabiH-
ties that there viii be an ultimate COM
bination OF the traction interests OF the
city before many years
Shareholders IN the Washington Rail-
way Company should be nightly
pleased with the probable advent Of
strong parties TO the directory. The
question OF management may also be
settled at the meeting and IL may be
that q more or less public man Will
be placed at the head OF the company.
For some reason, and because Of the
faith OF investors in the stock the price
moved up this week from 68 20 y, and
probably higher prices would have been
paid II there had been chances for OBJ
tanning stock. The offerings in the last
day or two OF the week were very lin
tied.
Capital Traction WIS also higher, an
advance from II TO IA being easily ac-
complished.
The rest OF the market was an Of
share proposition with very little do
ing. and with practically no changes in
values. There was quite a fair demand
for bonds and prices were well up TO
the closing quotations Of a week ago.
The Columbia Insurance Company has
approved OF the agreement Of its trus-
tees and VIII go out OF business i'm
I1ediateIy.
