CHICAGO MAY TRY 1T.
Attorney Fisher Before Mems League
Advocates Commission Plan.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Reorganization Of
the municipal government of Chicago
to take a form similar to that known
as the commission plan was advocated
by Attorney Walter T. Fisher in an
address delivered before the Mems
League of tbs Chicago Sunday Even
ing club at the University club last
night.
1t was declared that no necessity
existed for the election by the people
of more than one administrative or
executive officer, the mayor. Heads of
all other departments should be APP
pointed by the mayor and the latter
held personally responsible for the
acts of his appointees.
1t was urged that the ward line be
extended so that but a small number
Of aldermen would constitute the city
council and that only one alderman
should be elected from each ward.
Members of the Sunday Evening
club Endorsed the proposition by word
cf mouth at the close.

FOG CAUSES WRECK.
Two Collisions of Street Cars in Chi
cago Due to Darkness.

Chicago. Dec. 3.-Dense fog which
hung over Chicago today interfered
seriously with traffic on the steam,
street and elevated railroads and was
the cause of two wrecks in the early
Fart Of the day in which number of
persons were seriously injured. One of
the collisions was at One Hundred and
Third street and Vincennes avenue
where two fnterurban cars crashed to-
gether and injured eight persons, two
of whom may die. The other accident
was on the incline leading to the Indi-
ana street bridge over the Chicago
river. where two surface street cars
oollided, injuring three of the passen-
gers.
In the downtown streets the dark
ness was so intense that vehicles were
visible only a few feet away.
Train schedules were ignored while
the fog lasted and engines and motor
men kept their cars at slow speed with
emergency brakes ready.

WALSH LOSES.
Application to Federal Circuit
Court for Rehearing
Of His Appeal Is Denied by the
Judges.
ONLY ONE WAY LEFT
To Escape Going to Prison at
Fort LeavenWOrth.
Still Has Recourse to United
States Supreme Court.

Chicago. Dec. 3.-John R. Walsh, con-
victed of nlisapplying the funds of the
Chicago National bank Of which he was
president. was denied a rehearing of his
appeal to the federal circuit court of
appeals here today by Judges Grosscup,
Seaman and Baker.
The denial of a motion for a rehear-
ing leaves John R. Walsh without other
recource than the supreme court Of
the United States to stay the execution
of the sentence committing him to five
years in the Leavenworth federal
prison. The court declined to admit
Walsh to bail but permitted him on his
motion to defer the beginning Of SEN
tence pending the application to the SUI
preme court, meanwhile placing him in
the custody of the United States mar
shall. The action of the court was based
on the precedent created by the Morse
case when the New York financier was
committed to the Tombs pending his
appeal to the supreme court instead of
being sent to the federal prison.
The John r. Walsh case in which the
ruling of the court was announced to-
day has been in different phases, promi-
nently before the public since the three
Walsh banks, the Chicago National
bank, the Home Savings bank, and the
Equitable Trust company were closed
tanning 1872 counts was voted against
Mr. Walsh January 9, 1907, a federal
grand jury charging him with misap-
plying funds Of the Chicago National
bank, while he was its president. In
November of the same year his trial
began before Judge A. B. Anderson, in
the federal district court. January 10
1908, a verdict finding him guilty on 81
counts of the Indictment was returned
by the jury.
Incidents of the Trial.
In the trial repeated reference was
amounts signed by minor employees OF
| the banks and secured by bonds and
other collateral of railroad companies
controlled by Walsh. on which money
was advanced by the bank.
The question of intent to defraud
figured largely in the argument of
counsel and in the instructions to the
jury.
The judgment of the lower court was
appealed from but was sustained by
phreys Of the United States circuit
court of appeals. The petition for a re-
hearing of the appeal which was de-
cided today was then presented by
counsel for Walsh and was principally
based on the contention that the YER
dict of the jury finding the former
banker guilty on the different counts
was inconsistent in that If he were
guilty as described in one Of the counts
Of violating the law in a particular
Of the same violation in a different
manner as was charged in another
count.
The government took the position
that the verdict was in effect a general
verdict of guilty and that the sentence
Leavenworth federal prison should
stand.
