JOHN R. WALSH
NOT YET TO JAIL
EFFORT OF GOVERNMENT TO JAIL
HIM NOT SUCCESSFUL.
BUT CANNOT LEAVE CHICAGO

Chicago, Oct 2S.-John R. Walsh,
who convic ON of misusing funds of
the Chicago National bank was recent
ly affirmed by the United States ap-
pellate court, may retain liberty under
bonds pending an attempt to appeal
his case to the supreme court of the
United States. The decision making
this possible is rendered in the appel
late court today when Judge Grosscup
denied the petition of the government
to have the walsh uond of $4,000 can
celled. Mr.. Walsh, hitherto, allowed
to travel about the country must now,
however, remain in Chicago.
The governments petition set forth
that Walsh, with a sentence of five
years Imprisonment confronting him,
and with plenty of money at his COM
mand, could well afford to leave the
country, repaying his bondsmen. In
answer counsel for the defendant
among other things pledged Mr..
Walsh's word that he would not at
tempt to leave the United States and
should his petition for rehearing by
the appellate court be denied and the
supreme court go against him, he
would at once surrender himself.

TAfT'S PLANS
KNOCKED OUT
RIVER SCHEDULE
GOES ALL TO PIECES.
OTHER BOATS CAN'T KEEP UP
Owing to the Inability Of the Other
Boats to Keep Up With the olean-
der, the Presidents Seized for
Balance Of Trip Is Spoiled.

Helena, Ark, Oct President
Taft's river schedule went all to pieces
owing to the inability of the vessels
following his flagship the Oleander,
to maintain the designated speed. The
president tried to remain with the fleet
as far as possible and delayed his ar
rival in Memphis three hours In order
that the boats carrying the twenty
six governors and the III congress-
men as well as other vessels carrying
delegates to the waterways conven-
ton might arrive at the same time.
I Leaving Memphis an hour and half
late the Oleander had to press through
at top speed and get here at 8 p. IN,
two hours behind the scheduled time.
! In making the run, the Oleander left
all of the other vessels of the fleet
far astern.
The delays have wrought havoc with
the schedule for the remainder of the
trip. Leaving here nearly three hours
late the president could not reach
Vicksburg until o'clock or later to-
uay, that being his next stop. Even
to make that city by 6 p. m. the presi-
dent will have to leave the other ves-
sells behind. 1t had been Mr. Tafts
intention to ride over the battletelds
at Vicksburg and he may be unable to
do so because OF the delay

HEARST AAO OTHERS ACTIVE
Candidates for Mayor Of New York
Make Sixteen Speeches.

New York, Oct ga drizzliug rain
fell in New York last night but despite
the weather, three mayoralty candi-
dates delivered collectively sixteen
speeches. Otto T. Barnard, the re-
publican nominee, led with nine ad-
dresses in Harlem and the Bronx;
William II. Hearst, who Is running in
dependently, spoke at Carnegie Hall,
once in Harlem and once in the Bronx
and William J. Gaynor, running on the
democratic ticket and backed by Tam
many hail. spoke four times in the
heart of Manhattan, including an ad-
dress to Italian democrats at Cooper
union.
Crowds greeted the speakers every
where.
The meeting which Hearst address
ed at Carnegie hall was announced as
democratic mass meeting and al
though he made an attack on Tam
many the principal part of his address
emphasized that he was for all time
a democrat but an exponent of indie
pendence in politics.
incidentally Mr.. Hearst disclosed
some interesting facts concerning his
acceptance of the democratic nomina-
tion against Governor Hughes in 1906.
Three years ago | ran for governor
of the state of New YORK upon the
independence party ticket" he said,
land the democratic party of the
state of New York endorsed me. |
hesitated six days before accepting
the democratic endorsement, but fin
ally and foolishly accepted it."
This was the beginning of the end,
the speaker continued in effect as he
outlined what purported to be his
clashes with Charles f. Murphy, the
director Of Tammany hall, disagree
ments which, he said, resulted in his
refusal to be dictated to by the leader
and his ultimate defeat because Tam
many scratched him. Leaving his own
case, he first sought to draw a paral-
lei from that of William ]. Bryan, who,
he said. was knitted by Tammany in
New York after having been endorsed
at the democratic national conven-
ton,

LAND 0Pt MING A "FAKE'
Thus Fathead Lottery Is Declared in
Dry Farm CONGRESS.

Billings, Mont. Oct. 2S.-In spite OF
the fact that the railways interested
in the northwest as well as practically
every land agent in the north and mid
die west who is interested in dry
farming wanted the name changed, the
dry farming congress, by vote of
372 to 14S decided to let it stand.
The railways and land agents de-
clared the term dry farming" mis-
homer and a detriment to the move
ment. The farmers who had the votes
objected to making the name attrac-
tive.
The following officers were elected {:
President, F.. w. Mondell, Wyoming;
first American vice president, Frank
c. Bowman, Idaho; second American
vice president, H. d. Henning, New
Mexico; third American vice presi.
dent, B. w. Thatcher, Washington;
foreign vice presidents: George Har.
court, Alberta, Canada; w. R. Mother
walk, Saskatchewan; Senior Inglauro
gary; Dr. Theodore Kryshtofovitch
Russia.
The executive committee includes
George c. Scharschug, Illinois; Ora
Williams, Iowa; Miley Bunnell, Min
neaota; d. Glen Deaver, Nebraska;
J. w. WCist, North Dakota; |. r.
CrImpton, Wisconsin; l.. j. Briggs of
Columbia. Louis W. Hill, president of
the Great Northern railway in an ad-
dress characterized the government
opening of the Flathead reservation
as huge fake" enticing people from
all over the United States to draw
land while only three per cent got
farms.
He said the people spent not less
than twelve millions Of dollars in rail-
road fares. While the Great North
ern got its share, he said, the money
was not what il wanted.
Mr.. Hill said the. government is
making a mistake in setting apart a
million acres of land for the Cree In
dams. He regarded this as a particu-
larly bad piece of management on the
part Of the government in the fact that
the land could be Wei used by people
employing dry farming methods.

Gu tANS DIO FIGHT DUEL
QuarreIing Secretaries Found it Nee

tween Secretary of State Justo Garcia
Velez and Secretary of Sanitation Ma.
thias Duque whose designations from
the cabinet were accepted by Presi-
dent Gomez, eliminated in a duel with
pistols. The men exchanged four
shots but neither was injured.
The action of the president In sud
denly accepting the designations of
the secretaries is believed to have re-
suited from the decision of court of
honor to which the matter was refer
red, that duel was necessary for the
vindication of honor of both, in conse-
quence Of insults passed during the
discussion of matters connected with
Secretary Duque's department. 1t was
rumored that Senior VeleZ will be re-
instated as secretary Of treasure or
appointed minister at Berlin.

Was Left in the Boat-Now Search
ing for the Lost Bodies.
Yarmouth, N. S.. Oct. 2S.-Along the
Nova Scotia coast of the bay of Fundy
little groups of fishermen and others
kept a vigilant watch today for bodies
from the steamer Hestia, wrecked
across the bay on the lodges off Grand
Mapan island. There was little hope,
however, that any additional living
survivors would be picked up.
The bodies of four victims had been
cast ashore in two life boats by wind
and tide when the search was resumed
today. In boat which was picked up
at Pembroke near here yesterday there
were three bodies, presumed to be
those of First Engineer P. F. Mum,
and two seamen. 1t had previously
been reported that the boat contained
but two.
The body in boat found at Salmon
river, on the shore, was apparently
that of Theodore Reid, a Scotch lad
who was passenger on the Hestia.
AS far as can be learned only two life
boats left sthe Hestia, one OF which
floated off with single occupant and
the other containing Captain Newman
and twenty-seven other persons. For.
ty-one persons are known to have been
on the Hestia when she struck on the
lodges, and as six of these were res
cued, the missing number is thirty.
