WALSH FILES APPEAL.
Convicted Chicago Banker Petitions
United States Supreme Court for
Writ of Certiorari

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 1S-
Complaining that the verdict in his case
was ''repugnant' because of the fact that
a number of the counts against him in
his trial in the United States courts of
Illinois were based upon the same trans
action, the Chicago banker, John X
Walsh, filed in the supreme court of the
United States today n petition for n
writ of certoirari. The writ, if granted,
would have the effect of bringing the rec
ord of the case to the supreme court for
general review.
Walsh was indicted in the district court
for the northern district of Illinois in
January, 1908, on 100 counts, all alleg
ing irrcgularity in the conduct of the
Chicago National bank, of which he was
president. Upon trial he was found
guilty upon tifty-four Of the counts.
He was sen, CnCed to serve II term Of
five years in the United States peniteu-
tary nt Fort Leavenworth, and last Octo-
Der the court of appeals for the Seventh
circuit affirmed the verdict of the lower
court. 1t is the verdict of the court Of
appeals which Walsh desires TO have re
viewed by the supreme court.
The ease is not of Il character that cuu
Ice brought 10 this court on either an mp
peal or writ of error, and no recourse
except that of Il writ of certiorar was
left To him, The court grants only about
one out of ten of such petitions

BOOST PANAMA BONDS.
mating Other Securities in
u S. Depositories.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Dec 1S.-
Ostensbly for the purpose of strength,
ening the price of the Panama > per
cent bonds. which for some time have
been lowering around par, Secretary
MACY cagh today ISSUED an order elimi.
mating state. city and railway bonds
from the list of securities which may
be accepted for the deposits of public
moneys in national bank repositories
There are now held by the government
SlO,O21 800 of these classes Of bonds rs
security for such deposits. The eX.
pectation of the treasury officials is that
the state city and railroad bonds will be-
promptly replaced by other bonds as
il is not the intention of the treasury
to reduce the amount Of money in ma.
tional bank depositarics.
The theory IL that by this change tho
Panama bonds will be more attractive
to the banks as investments and that
the Panama bonds in turn will find n
way into the treasury as security for de-
pOsits.

an, Il have very generous husband,
and this is the way he gets that repu-
tation. The other day l worked and
shaved in the kitchen for about ten
hours making Jelly. It was my first
attempt, so I had considerable trouble
and burned my fingers about seven
teen times. It turned out pretty good,
however. and OF course I was proud
and delighted. That night l put some
on the table for dinner, and husband
got enthusiastic.
Next day he was visiting a sick
friend Of his, man, by the way, quite
able to buy anything he might want
and whose wife never lifts her finger.
On leaving Mr.. Generous Husband
says; Wife made some pretty good
jelly the other day You might Hike
some. I'll send you up half a dozen
jars
Now, wouldn't that frost you. or
rasp you, or whatever they say? Half
a dozen Jars! After ell my work, to
hand that jelly over to man whose
wife Is too lazy to breathe I made
exactly eight Jars, so we will have one
more, unless he has already promised

SPORT THAT SAVED A NATION.
SEec;ng Freed Norway from Foes
Ready to Overwhelm Her.


Surely Norwegtans should know
whats what In skeeing. Have they not
made history with their skee? Would
they be the united free and independ-
ent little country they are today had
It not been for the skee and their
army's ability to use them? Would
they not be merely a succession Of Ice
free ports maintained for the conven-
fence Of England, Germany, and most
of all, Russia? They had a pretty hot
little war all their own in 1S07-0S, and
Il it was short they have only their
commander, Prince Christian Angus
tus and their infantry on skee to
thank, says Charles +, Peters In Out
Ing.
All Europe was busy trying to keep
Napoleon from smudging out the lines
OF the map and nobody would help
Norway. except the already besieged
Denmark. She, although willing, was
prevented from sending food and am
munition by the English war vessels
that blockaded the Morse coast, and
with Sweden battering them by land
and England by sea, poor little Nor
way could only sit tight and wait for
the approach OF the season when Thor
should throw the hammer and the
frost giants OF Jotunheim would fight
her battles for her.
And 10. the Swedes allowed them
selves to be outwitted. Just as their
army Of the west. which outnumbered
the Norsemen ten to one, arrived at
the frontier and brought up their
heavy field artillery, the White Bear
from the land east of the sun and west
of the moon sent his feathery flakes
and brought confusion and defeat to
the invading forces.
Their feldpieces were buried, their
men could only founder about in the
deepening drifts. and. to add to their
discontinue, little flocks of green dots
began to appear upon the surrounding
mountain crests, to skim down within
range, fire carefully aimed rifles, and
glide away again before resistance
could be attempted by the demoralized
Swedish hosts. Thus the entire war
consisted OF much starvation but only
three battles, in all OF which Norway
was completely victorious, and peace
was made before the year ended.
