vIRD|CT OF GUILT
FOR JOHN R. WALSH
Former Newspaper Owner and
Manipulation of Bank and
Trust Company Finances
Fails on His Appeal.

CHICAGO, Oct 5.-The verdict of the
trial court which found John r. Walsh
guilty of misapplication of the funds OF
The Chicago National bank, was affirmed
by the United States circuit court Of ap-
peals here today.
Mr.. Walsh must serve the sentence oil
1--WE years imprisonment imposed upon
hIm by the trial jury, unless the supreme
court upsets today's affirmation of the
verdict of guilty. .....,
Counsel for Mr.. Walsh in their appeal
laid the greatest stress on what they al
legged was a lack of criminal intent on the
part of the defendant. In their very
lengthy brief much law was quoted to
show that the convicted banker, newspa-
per publisher and railroad owner used
the funds OF the bank in what he con-
sdered legitimate manner. 80
OPINION is BRIEF.
The opinion of the court of appeals.
written by Judge Humphrey and handed
down by Judge Grosscup, Is brief ana
confined almost wholly to the question OF
criminal intent. The allegation that
Juror Palmer was unduly influenced is
dismissed with a word. and but liIle
more is wasted in eliminating the allie
cation of inconsistency and repugnancy.
The opinion says that If there Is nc
inconsistency in the verdict as to the
substance of the charges In the various
counts, there is no reason to disturb the
verdict on the ground of inconsistency.
AS to Juror Palmer the opinion says the
record does not show that any improper
influence worked upon the jury and that
the attempt by one of the jurors after
the verdict to impeach his verdict can
have no consideration.
NO ERROR IN INSTRUCTIONS
In the instructions given the jury by
Judge Anderson in the trial court the
higher tribunal finds no error AS to t"s
lack of criminal intent the opinion reads;
Under section 500 there could be mis-
application of bank funds by an officer
which would be innocent and not criminal
and there could be misapplicatioD which
under the statutes would be criminal.
What would show the difference between
misapplication which were criminal and
those which were not; what would show
innocence or guilt; good faith or bad
faith the court sought by instruction
carefully to define and we think did fairly
define"
Counsel for Mr.. Walsh have 30 days
in which to file application for a re-
hearing by the court of appeals. Mean
while he will be at liberty under his
present bond of $4,000.

FITE PUTS ANOTHER
GAUGER UNDER BOND

Following close upon his action in
the Stegall case. Judge A. w. Fife has
placed b. P. Thompson, Stegalrs sue
cessor, under a $500 bond TO appear
at the next term of Dade county supe-
rior court and testify in prosecution of
the Cureton distillery at Rising Fawn.
Charles f. Stegall was recently put
in Jail by Judge Fite, because the
former. then storekeeper and gauger at
the distillery, refused to answer GER
tain questions asked him by the court.
On writ of hapeas corpus issued by
Judge William T. Newman, Of the
United States district court for the
northern district Of Georgia, Stegall
was finally released. His case, involv-
ing the question as to whether or not
such a revenue official shall be required
TO give out information obtained in his
oflcial capacity, is now pending before
Judge Newman. 1t is contended by the
United States attorneys that such In
formation as Judge Fite desired could
nave been obtained through regular and
iegalized channels from the department
or internal revenue at Washington, but
that storekeeper and gauget cannot
lawfully divulge It,
While this question is yet undecided
by the United States court, Judge Fite

SETTLE TROLLEY
WAR IN CLEVELAND

CLEVELAND, Oct. 5.-A conference
was held today to arrange final details
which will result in an absolute settle
ment of the local street railway situa-
ton. which has been bitterly agitated for
eight years During the life of the con-
troversy it has been a political issue at
all time. Partial settlements have been
made and many proposed. but all have
failed of their OBJECT. Now peace is as
sured.
The basis of the strife has been Mayor
Tom L. Johnson's contention for three
cent fares. The proposed settlement will
be upon this rate of fare and will elimi-
nate the street car question from the fall
campaign. All the main points have been
settled.
1t 10 agreed that the city shall give the
Cleveland Railway company the owner
Of the local lines, a 25-year franchise, re-
vokable at any time If the details OF
the contract with the city is violated. The
city reserves the right to purchase the
lines at any time municipal ownership
is made lawful, providing the city then
desires to purchase.
The city also reserves the right to name
a purchaser after eight years. The mi
tial rate OF fare is to be three cents on
all lines. with a one-cent extra charge
for transfer.
Both the city and the railway company
have agreed to let Judge Robert w. Tay-
Ter, of the United States court, determine
the value of the railway property and
the maximum rate Of fare. 1t is agreed
that at no time shall the rate of fare be
greater than will allow the company ar
earning of more than s per cent on the
value of the property, consistent with
good service.
Judge Tayler has indicated that he will
make the maximum rate of fare foul
cents for cash fare and the regular ticket
rate seven tickets for twenty-five cents
and a cent extra for transfers. Thi:
proposition has been accepted both by
the city and the railway company.

100000 PEOPLE TO SEE
WORLDS SERIES

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 5.-With the aim
of having the distinction OF seating
greater number of persons than has ever
attended a single baseball game, the
MANAGEMENT of the Pittsburg National
league club is busily engaged In per-
fecting arrangements for the opening or
the worlds championship battle between
the Detroit Americans and the Pittsburg
National clubs here next Friday. AL
Forbes field a force or workmen Is con-
structing 5000 additional seats after first
having built a false fence some distance
from the present boundary.
At the downtown offices of the club,
clerks are swamped In the task Of re-
turning letters, estimated to contain
many thousands of dollars, for the rea-
son that the reserved seat supply became
exhausted last Saturday. Veterans OF
baseball games say they have never wit
messed such an amazing demand for
seats.
How many g., persons will attend the
games here Friday and Saturday is ques-
tionable, but from present indications
an estimate of from 5000 to 100000 Is be-
lieved not to be exaggerated.
In the meantime Pittsburg, Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia,
not to speak of the distant major league
centers or points thousands of miles away
are gradually working up baseball fever
that bids fair to transform this city into
an enthusiastic mass of humanity. Spec
tators are coming from Portland. San
Francisco and Denver.
An evidence of the great interest In the
contests can be had from the newspaper
arrangements. over 200 newspaper men
from all parts of the country will be here
to write accounts of the battle. In
addition there will be over 100 telegraph
operators present.
Already the police department is MAX
ing preparations to protect the spectators
and guard against accident. The de-
partment of building inspection today
made a thorough examination of the great
stadium and pronounced 1t model for

Pittsburgers and a greater sum Is said
TO be awaiting takers. The average bet

CREEPING ERUPTION"
PUZZLE TO DOCTORS

PENSACOLA, Fla. Oct. 5.--A new dis
ease in the south. known as creeping
eruption" has been discovered by Capt.
F. H. Gosman, post surgeon Of the ar
tillery corps stationed at Fort Barran-
cas-. The victims are two artillerymen,
who were recently attacked by the dis
ease and after Intellectual treatment by
an assistant surgeon, they were turned
over to Captain Gosman. This is said
to be the first case OF the kind In the
south and the fourth case known IN the
United States.
According to Captain Gosman, the, dis
ease is caused by the lodgment Of the
eggs of a horse fly and while not neces-
sarily fatal causes great discomfort and
when not properly treated and the pa
tient is allowed to scratch, becomes very
aggravating.
Photographs have been taken and will
be forwarded with a full report OF the
cases to the department at Washington.
