OF TRUST, BUT NO IN THE
POLITICAL FIELD.

Neutrality-suspicious. F. Walsh OF
Colorado. who ranked high among
American financiers. died at 11:15
o'clock Friday night at his home on
Massachusetts avenue.
Mr.. Walsh had been In poor health
bedside when the mining magnate ex-
pired were his wife, their daughter.
Mrs. Edward Beale Mclean: the At
tending physicians and nurses.
More than a month ago Mr.. Walsh's
condition became such as to cause ap-
prehension among his friends. and 1t
was decided that trip to Florida
might be of benefit to his shattered
health.
Accordingly. accompanied by his
to Palm Beach. Fla. but the improve
ment hoped for was not to be gained
there. and the party journeyed next to
San Antonio. Texas
When 1t became known that Mr..
Walsh's case was next to hopeless. he
was hurried by special train to his
Washington home, arriving there
Thursday. March "a.
The primary trouble was a malig-
nant growth In the nature Of tumor.
which affected his lungs and caused
intense suffering and constant physi.
cal distress.
At the inception Of his illness he
revised his will and In the closing
days he put his house In order In prep
aration for the end.
In accordance with his wishes. he
will be laid at rest by the side Of his
son, Vinson, who Is buried In the Rock
Creek cemetery. this city. The funeral
will be held Sunday at 8 o'clock in the
afternoon
While the extent OF Mr.. Walsh's for
tune is not known. he ranked among
the wealthy men OF the country.
Mr.. Walsh was highly honored out.
side the financial field. In 1904 and
1908 he was delegate-at-large from
Colorado to the Republican national
| convention ut Chicago. He was So.
| lected for one OF the commissioners to
the Paris exposition In 1890. where he
represented the United States govern.
| ment.
Owing to his wide knowledge Of ir.
rigation matters and the interest he
manifested in that important subject.
he was elected president OF the Ma.
tional Irrigation Congress and gave
the office dignity and the benefit Of
his information and experience.
He also was member OF the Amer.
lean Academy for the Advancement OF
Science and Of the Washington Acad
emy OF Science.
He was an honored member Of the
National Geographical Society and
was president OF the Aero club Of
Washington.
Much Of the advancement and beau
tification Of the national capitol is due
to the interest taken In the matter by
Mr.. Walsh as a member Of the Wash.
ington board OF trade.
He was signally honored by his elec.
ton as a member OF the American
Chamber Of Commerce at Paris.
