nomination for congressman in the
Second Oregon district, has won over
w r. Ellis, incumbent, who support

"anti- Cannon" platform.
George Shepherd, who appealed to
the members of his party as a "plain

Jay Bowerman, the Assembly cam
didate for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, seems to be fairly certain of win
ming over Grant 3. Dimmick of Ore

Albert Alberts, a believer in the
Roosevelt Hughes plan of nominating

the $780, 900 home of w. E. Muse,
Hinsdale attorney, early today after
stealing thousands of dollars worth of
silverware, jewelry and expensive rugs

report to the police.
The thieves loaded the plunder into
an express wagon, he claims. Muse
was alone in the house, the domestics
having gone with Mrs. Muse on the

ASK FOR PARDON
Of JOHN R. WALSH
File of Letters Accompanying the
Petition to Taft Comprises
Twenty-Five Volumes
PRISONERS HEALTH FAILING
Release Sought on Grounds That
Confinement EndangerS
Financier'S Life
rAssnninted Press1

WASHINGTON, Sept. PA petition
to the president of the United States
for the pardon of John r. Walsh, the
former president of the Chicago Nation
al bank. from the federal prison at
Leavenworth was filed at the depart
ment of justice today by Attorney
George I. Buckingham of Chicago on
behalf OF Mary l.. walsh, Richard w.
Walsh and John W. Walsh, respective
ly the wife and sons of the prisoner.
Accompanying the formal application
for a pardon were thousands of letters
from persons in Chicago and through
out the middle west, urging President
Taft to grant the petition. The file Of
these letters comprised twenty-five
bound volumes. Besides letters from
personal friends and business associ-
ates, there were letters from all the
officers and directors of the Walsh
banks which were involved in the case'
from the banks stockholders and de-
positors, and from jurors who found
Walsh guilty of having misappropriat-
ed funds of his banks.
Walsh was found guilty in 1907 of a
violation of the United States banking
laws in having made excessive loans to
railroads in which he was interested,
and in December, 1909, he was SEN
fenced to FIVE years in LeaYenworth
prison.
HEALTH IS FAILING
Mr.. Walsh is 73 years old, and the
main motive in the appeal to the presl-
dent is based on the prisoners falling
health. He is reported suffering from
acute neart disease, and physicians af-
firm that he is likely to die at any mo-
ment AS set forth in the petition, the
grounds on which his pardon is asked
are as follows:
That the crime for which he was
found guilty does not involve moral
turpitude, and that none of the acts
on which conviction was based was
done for or resulted in any profit to
himself.
That the depositors in all the banks
with which he was connected were paid
in full and Immediately.
That the loss of nearly all his own
large personal fortune caused by the
forced liquidation of these banking in
stitutions is equal to a financial fine
many times in excess Of any usually
imposed and is itself most severe
punishment already suffered.
That his loss Of power, prestige and
position, together with the humilia-
ton of a conviction and Imprisonment,
is punishment already suffered great
w in excess of the usual.
That the racking strain of the four
years struggle to save his personal
name, as well as to save loss to parties
interested, has, with his advanced age,
SO seriously affected his health that
continued Imprisonment is likely to re-
suit fatally.

and will ask for an appropriation. The
water supply and other conditions are
the best.
Dr. Downs mentioned the danger of
