SPAIN MAY MAKE
POWERS ACTIVE
OPERATIONS IN MOROCCO FAR
EXCEED ORIGINAL PLAN AND
CAUSE DISCORD.

Paris, Oct. 6.-The preparations for
the extension of SPANS operations
in Morocco, involving the sending OF
heavy reinforcements, are creating in
creasing uneasiness in Paris. The
Petit PaIisian a journal owned by
Minister of Commerce Dupuy, in what
is believed to be an inspired article
said yesterday that SPANS program
seems to go beyond the object Origi
nalIy communicated to the powers and
prOvOkes apprehension in Europe, es
peciaIly in London and Paris.
The colonial authorities of Algeria
the article says, have notified Paris
of the existence of a fanatical excite
ment in the interior and speak of dan
ger along the Algerian frontier if Gen
eraI Marina, the commander Of the
Spanish forces in Morocco, attempts
to push his expeditions southwark
from Zeluan.
In conclusion the paper estimates
that the reports from the interior OF
Spain indicate that there is grave
danger of serious trouble at home as
soon as the country is denuded OF
troops.
The Spanish embassy here is under
heavy guard night and day, as it is
feared that the Barcelona revolution
lists are plotting the assassination OF
the MARQUIS del NUM-, the Spanish
ambassador, as a means Of forcing
the government to abandon its repres-
sive measures in Catalonia.

BANKER WAL H
DOOMED TO PRISON
COURT HOLDS THE TRIAL WAS
FAIR AND LEGALLY
SOUND.
ONLY INTERFERENCE OF HIGH
Err TRIBUNAL CAN KEEP
HIM FREE

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 6.-John R.
Walsh, convicted of misapplication OF
the funds of the Chicago National
bank, must serve a sentence of five
years Imprisonment imposed upon
him by the trial jury, unless the SUI
preme court upsets the affirmation or
a verdict Of guilty handed down yes
terday by the United States circuit
court of appeals here.
Counsel for Mr. Walsh in their ap-
peal laid the greatest stress on what
they alleged was a lack of criminal
intent ON the part of the defendant
In the very lengthy brief which they
filed much law was quoted to show
that the convicted banker used the
funds of the bank in what he consid-
cred a legitimate manner.
Findings of the Court.
The opinion of the court of ap-
peaIs, written by Judge Humphrey
and handed down by Judge Grosscup
is brief and is confined almost wholly
TO the question of criminal intent AL
legations that Jurer Palmer was I'M
duly influenced are dismissed with a
word, and but little more is said in
eliminating allegations of inconsts-
tency in the verdict"
$50 long as there is no inconsis
tency in the verdict as to the sub
stance of the matter charged in the
various counts" says the opinion,
"the verdict will not be disturbed. If
the gravamen of the charge in each
count, on which there has been
verdict Of guilty is the same, there
is no inconsistency in the verdict"
Eligibility of a Juror.
AS to Juror Palmer the opinion
reads: 'The record does not show
that any improper influence worked
upon the jury. The return made to
the court was in the fact the verdict
Of twelve jurors. The attempt by
one of them afterward to impeach his
verdict can have no consideration.
The doctrine is we'll established, and
is based upon reason as well as upon
authority"
In the instructions given the jury
by Judge Anderson in the trial court,
The higher tribunal finds no error. AS
to the lack of criminal intent, the
opinion reads:
"Under section 5000 there could be
misappIication of bank funds by an
officer which would be innocent ana
not criminal and there could be mis-
application which under the statutes
would be criminal. What would show
the difference between misapplica-
tions which were criminal and those
which were not, what would show in
nocence or guilt, good faith or bad
faith. the court sought by instruction
carefully to- define. and We think did
fairly define"
Out on 1000 Bail.
Counsel for Mr. Walsh have thirty
days in which to file application for d
rehearing by the court of appeals.
Meanwhile he will be at liberty under
his present bonds of $50,000.
The courtroom was damned with a
crowd which overflow into the cor
ridor during the proceedings in court.
An eIeventh-hour attempt by the
defense to file additional citations
designed to show lack of criminal in
tint came to naught. The matter was
taken under consideration and a de-
cision reached that the new argu-
ments would in no wise alter the opin-
ion as already written.

that Wisconsin corn is something to

SENATOR LE1Dx Is BETTER.
A Sudden Attack of the Grip Alarms
His Friends.

Considerable improvement is noted
today in the condition of Senator Fire.
mont Leidy, of Butler county, who suf-
fered an attack of heart failure, while
in a barber shop in the basement of
the building at the corner of Ninth
street and Kansas avenue Saturday
night. Senator Leidy was seen by a
state Journal reporter today, at his
room at 925 Quincy street. He was
feeling much better and was in
cheerful frame of mind.
Dr. Hensley, who is attending the
senator, stated that his patients tenn
perature today is normal and his pulse
is as strong as could be expected, al
though he still feels some weakness as
the result of the attack of Saturday
night. The physician states that the
attack of heart failure was not due
to any especial weakness of that
organ but because of the effects of
the grip, with which Mr.. Leidy has
been troubled for several days.
Saturday night just as he was about
to get into the BARRIERS chair to get
shaved, the senator was suddenly
seized with dizziness and an instant
later fell to the floor. DR.. Hensley
was called and Mr.. Leidy was resus-
citated. His temperature at the time
was 102 and his pulse was very weak.
The sick man was removed to his
room and he has rested quite easily
since Saturday night The doctor
states that his patient will probably be
able to attend the session by tomorrow
afternoon.
