WALKER CHARGED
WITH FRAUD TWICE
Insurance Adjuster's Record Is Raked
Up in Dillon Insurance Suit
Witness Explains Arrest.

Attorney Sloman, crOSs-eXamining
L. r. Walker Wednesday afternoon in
the case OF Hugh Dillon against the
firm of Craig. Wright 4 Walker, in
surance adjusters, inquired into the
personal history OF the witness and
brought from him the admission that
he had been twice charged with fraud
in connection with fire losses, once on
a criminal charge and again in a civil
suit.
How many times have you been ar.
rested?" he was asked.
IL was under arrest once, technical
ly," he answered. THE charge proved
false and | started suit against the
man who instigated it. | was never
IN Jail in my life. | went to headquar-
ters and asked if there was warrant
out against me, and was told that
there was not"
Attorney Sloman then read from an
affidavit to the effect that one Roman
PerZakowsky in 1903 charged Walker
with fraud before Police Justice Sci
lers and caused his arrest. He alleged
that Walker defrauded him of $219
by representing that the Wyandotte
fire department demanded 500 for
at a uIt, buuI an e'uNN
company had imposed a fine OF 800
On him, and that Walker was entitled
10 the S19 as discount on payment of
the policy. The affidavit states that
Walker was arrested by Patrolman
Buhr AMI released on bonds.
Walker also admitted having been
in charge of a deputy sheriff on a
charge brought against him by the
London & Lancashire Insurance Co.
At that time he was charged with
fraud in the settlement OF a loss on
Michigan-ave., when he got 5000 for
furniture destroyed which belonged
not TO the assured but TO a bnarder.
Walker said it was represented that
the assured owned the furniture. He
is still lighting that case.
Harrison Geer, attorney for Mr..
Walker read from letter written by
James E. Fleming, a rival adjuster. In
II Fleming acknowledged that in the
Perzakowsky matter an injustice had
been done Walker.

Fully 6,000 Attended
 the Services. JAS CONVERSIONS REPORTED 1.e - Pfays For Men Who Run the
 "Blind Tigers" Jn Prayers During the Services, the Hope h Expressed That the Society Men and Women
 Will Attend.
',4s CONVERSIONS REPORTED

More than 5000 people attended the revival meetings yesterday. The min isters and others who are most inter- ested said that 1t was the best and most satisfactory day of the revival. There lwere l46 conversions 195 in the various Ichurches eleven at the afternoon and fourteen in the evening. That make the total number of conversions, for the start of the third week. 845.
 | That the men who run. and that the men who pay the cost of running the "Blind Tigers" as we'll as the men ana women of Montgomery society. may be tmpelled to come to the Torrey meet 1ngs and be converted. was the burden of several of the prayers at the meet ings yesterday. The ministers feel that only one class of persons have been reached, and they want high so- ciety," as well as low society" to at- tend the meetings.
 The heavy rain interfered with pr Torrey's sermon in the afternoon to such an extent that he was compelled to pause in the middle of 1t. and wait for the fury of the storm to subside. He stopped none too soon, as the roar Of the rain on the roof had been drown ing his voice for some minutes. He an- nounced afterwards, that in case of a similar rain during any future service, he would not attempt to speak until It was over. The subject of the sermon this afternoon win be '"The Personality of the Holy Spirit"

"He that dosth the will of the Lord abideth for ever"
 For his third point Dr. Torrey. said that if any one could get the whole would be . bad bargain, but ask ed Whoever got the whole worldr' and went on to show that no man could even get all of one thing that he would be doing we'll If he even got a small part of one of the things. honor wealth. etc. He illustrated this by the story of business man who said that he could not be a Christian because he had to keep open on Sunday to get the Sabbath trade. And that man," said pr. Torrey. was selling his soul for the profit of one days business a week.
 Why. there are some of you here this afternoon selling your immortal souls, for which Jesus Christ died. and which shall live forever in Heaven and glory, or in hell and shame. for some single form of pleasure. It may be the dance. 1t may be. the card party. 1t may be the horse race 1t may be the theatre, 1t may be some other form of~pleasure to which you are a slave, and for tone single form of worldly pleasure you are forhting your souls.

resentative Rainey, of Illinois, Is, how ever. extremely anxious to find oppor- tunity to make reply to the critics of his Panama canal speech. and IS plead- ing strongly for recognition for that purpose while the sundry civil bill Is under consideration. Present indica- tions are that he will succeed and that he will speak tomorrow.
 Undoubtedly the House will be able before the close of the session to dls- pose of all the appropriation bills. and the outlook in the Senate Is mucn brighter than 1t was a week ago. Du- ring the past week, the Senate put be- hind 1t the postofice, the naval. the pension, the army and the Indian bills, and 1t will be prepared to go on this week with the diplomatic and consular the agricultural and other appropria- tion bills as they may be reported from the Committees, so that unless there should be unusual Instructions that body will also be able to conclude this important portion of Its business be- fore the 9th of March.
 Apparently the prospect of obstruc- tion is not so great as it was, for MT. LaFollette and his insurgent following have shown little or no disposition du- ring the past few days to stand in the way of the progress of the measures. If this attitude Is maintained, there is little doubt that all of the supply meas ures with the possible exception of the river and harbor bill, which Is all ready through the House will be pass ed long enough before the 4th of March to permit a final agreement on all of them before the close of the ses- sion. There Is a probability that the rivers and harbors bill may meet the sad fate of being talked to death.
 In addition to the appropriation bills. the Senate will. on Tuesday, consider and vote on the bill providing for the re-enlistment of the negro soldiers wh 2 were discharged on account of the Brownsville riot. and Saturday will be given up entirely to eulogies of mem bers of Congress who have recently died including the late Senator Latl. mer of South Carolina, Representative Powers of Maine, Representative Wi ley of Alabama. Representative Meyer of Louisiana. and Representative Brick of Indiana. The entire day Tuesday will be given to the Brownsville bill Senator Carter will continue his eff forts to procure consideration of anC action on the postal savings bank bill with somewhat better prospect of sue, cess than in the past. There will nis. be a strong effort to get the Arizona and New Mexico Statehood bill out oi Committee. with the hope of passing It during the last days. but the out. look Is poor.
