and at some centers is Indicated, but
repression and conservatism are widely
in evidence and reflected in small but
frequent rather than large or confident
buying. One really favorable underly-

preciated at present, is the apparent
absence of large stock Of goods in
primary or secondary hands, born APP

prices and the growth of the belief that
Tar distant buying is not either advis-
able or necessary. This, with the fa-
vorable crop outlook, will make easier

Reports from leading industries are

Some finished lines show a slightly

Deny That Any Element Of
Moral Turpitude Was In
volved in Crime Which
He Committed.

Washington, Sept. PA petition to
the president of the United States for
the pardon of John r. Walsh, former
president of the Chicago National bank,
from the federal prison at Leaven-
worth, Kan, was filed at the DEPART
George buckingham, of Chicago. on
behalf of Mary T.. Walsh. Richard W..
Walsh and John w. Walsh, respec-
lively the wife and sons of the pris-
oner
Accompanying the application for
pardon were thousands Of letters from
individuals In Chicago and throughout
the middle west urging President Taft
to grant the petition. The file of these
letters comprises 20 bound volumes.
Besides letters from personal friends
n business associates, there were let
ters from all the officers and directors
of the Walsh banks which were in
volyed in the case, letters from the
banks stockholders n depositors and
jurors who found Walsh guilty Of mis-
appropriating funds of his banks.
History of the Conviction.
In 1907 MI. Walsh was found guilty
of d violation OF the United States
banking laws, in having made excess
sive loans to railroads in which he vas
was sentenced to Ave years in Leaven-
worth prison.
Walsh is 73 years old. and the main
motive in the appeal to President Taft
is based on the prisoners failing health.
He Is reported as suffering from acute
heart disease and physicians affirm In
the petition chat he is likely to die
at any moment.
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 mora
turpitude and that nor of the acts
on which conviction was based were
one for, or resulted in In profit tc
himself.
THAT the depositors in all the banks
with which he was connected were
paid in full and Immediately.
Loses His Own Fortune.
That the loss of nearly all his OWL
large personal fortune, caused by thu
forced liquidation of the banking instit
tut!ons, Is equivalent q Ananc!a
fine many times in excess of any Isl
! ally imposed, and is in itself a mos
severe punishment already suffered.
"That his loss Of power, privileg'
and position, together with the humil
iation of a conviction n imprison
ment, is q punishment already suffere'
greatly in excess of the usual.
THAT the racking strain of the fou
years struggle to save his persona

ties interested, has, with his advances

that a continued Imprisonment is likeE

Governor Deneen was enthusiasttc-
ally applauded. He declared that Is
months have passed since the begin
ming OF the national administration, and
they have been fruitful in the enact
ment of legislation In redemption OF
the pledges of the 1908 platform, such
as tariff revision. the amendment of
the interstate commerce law, passage
of the law authorizing the president to
withdraw public lands from entry, and
to protect water power sites and con-
serve natural resources; passage of che
postal savings bank law; amendment
of the employers liability law and
passage of the law compelling publicity

penses.
These achievements, said the COVER
nor, entitle the party and the presi-
dent to a vote of confidence by the
American people.
Discussing the recent airing OF al
legged corruption In the legislature, the
governor said:
THE confessions Of foul members OF

an extensive system of corruption
which the republican party Of Illinois
must not merely d~enounce, but must
correct by acting as q whole in har-
mony with the views Of our party a.
