JOHN R. WALSH
NEAR COLLAPSE
Physical Condition No Better
Than When He Entered
Prison

Leavenworth. Kas.. April 13.-The
physical condition of John r. Walsh,
the Chicago banker who is serving a
sentence in the federal prison here,
is causing the officials uneasiness.
Walsh's health has shown no i'm
provement since his arrival at the
prison. 1t is stated that he has broken
down greatly during the last few
weeks and it is feared that he may
collapse.
Walsh's shoulder, which was broken
shortly before he left Chicago for
Leavenworth, has healed but his
hands, which have become stiff. evil
IDENTIFY as a result of the injury to his
shoulder, are causing him trouble. He
reports at his desk in the bureau of
criminal Identification each day, but
he has been able to do but little work.
Many of the duties assigned to Walsh
in fact are being performed by others.
Walsh is not aware of the steps being
taken to secure his pardon from the
nrisnn.

ty others. the Brooklyn police declar-
ed that one of the biggest raids on
dealers In white slaves ever made in

fy against the prisoners. One of
them was only nine years old and
the Oldest was fifteen. They all told
the same story that they had been

given to them and that they they were
taken to some house maintained as a
resort of the white slave bands ac-
tivities.

DEMOCRATS WANT
NO PUBLICITY
Excluded Reporters From the
Hearing OF Mississippi sena-
torial Bribery Cases

Jackson, Miss, April 13-The prose-
cution in the bribery investigation in
the senate rested its case today and
the defense has entered upon its re-
buttal testimony. The days doings
were marked by two minor sensa-
tions. The first was the exclusion of
the newspaper men while Principal
Thames of the Poplarville school told
why Senator Bilbo severed his con-
nection as teacher with that school
three years ago.
Senator Bilbo's counsel demanded
that if the testimony involved alleged
moral shortcomings, the press be ex-
cluded. Evidently the testimony did,
for the reporters were requested to
withdraw.
The second sensation was the find
ing of three bank notes issued by the
National bank of Poplarville, in the
$645 bribery money Bilbo turned over
to the grand jury. Poplarville is a
small town in Mississippi in which
Senator Bilbo lives.
The afternoon session was given
over to character witnesses who tes-
titled to the good reputation for truth
and veracity borne by Senator Bilbo.
The senate, by agreement, expunged
the testimony of Senator MCGEE, who
swore that Representative Fielder told
him that Bilbo wanted money for his
support of the Walthal county bill.
Fielder was present. but neither
side would put him on the stand.
Later he issued statement saying
that he had been misunderstood and
that Senator Bilbo never made any
proposition to me for money in sup
port Of any measure and that, as far
as know, he is an honest, honorable
upright gentleman"

defended Harry K. Thaw in his first
trial for the murder of Stanford
White, failed today in his effort to
collect from Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw.
the prisoners mother, a balance of
$4,000 for counsel fees and disburse-
ments which he claimed to be due

More than that, Judge Holt of the
United States circuit court. in denying
the motion to set aside the sealed YER
dict of the jury which had heard
Hartiage's suit against Mrs. Thaw,
made a sensational statement that an
inquiry was called for regarding the
professional conduct of Hartidge and
to determine whether ground existed
for a perjury prosecution.

Each Man Is Called Into the jury
Room Separately So That Those
Waiting Can Not Hear or Be Influ.
.enced By His Answers.

Kansas City, April 13.-After sitting
with fixed countenance and appar-
ent unconcern for two days in tho
court room, Mrs. Logan o. Swope
gave way to her emotions and wept
bitterly as she talked with the news
paper men soon after trial of DIR. B.
c. Hyde opened today. Recalling her
home when Colonel Thomas H. Swope
was alive and no serious factional
strife was apparent in the Swope fam
lily, the gray-haired woman contrasted
it with present lonely residence and
wept.
While Mrs. Swope talked. her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Hyde, sat few feet away,
laughing and joking with her hus-
band. She did not know her mother
was crying, for she could not see her.
Although DR.. Hyde is. still as affa-
BILE and willing as he was when the
trial opened, he expressed discontinue
today at the slowness with which the
jurors are being obtained.
In order to expedite the selection
Of the remaining twenty-five tempor-
ary jurymen to fill out the panel Of

plan Of examining the veniremen.
Each man was called separately into

Heretofore the unexamined veniremen

The attorneys believe the answers

king has hopes that it will not be ne

demeanor. punishable by fine Of

COLD STORAGE IS
GREAT EQUALIZER LIZ!
Another Story Is That It Is
Responsible for the High
Prices

Washington. April 13.-Formal ,tes-
timony was given today before the
senate committee which is investigat-
ing the causes Of the high cost of
living. that cold storage is the great
equalizer of prices while, at the same
time, an informal declaration was
made to members Of the committee
that cold storage is an important and
sentfoaiinge factor in producing and
maintaining the high cost Of living.
John A.. Kunkel of New York. tes-
ttfying before the committee, argued
that cold storage was "the great
equalizer of prices" and John j. Wal
ton Of New York opposed before the
committee the bill to prohibit the
keeping Of foodstuffs in cold storage
for longer period than one year.
Pierre P. Garvan, prosecutor Of
Hudson county, N. j., attacked the
cold storage system.
Mr.. Kunkel said that If 1t were not
for the cold storage method of keep
ing eggs that commodity would sell
as low as 8 and 9 cents a dozen dur
ing certain seasons and as high as
Is cents and one dollar in other sea-
sons Of the same year.
He told the committee many inter-
esting things about eggs. He said
New York people demanded an egg
with white shell, while Boston used
the yellow shell egg. He said that the
latter was better than the white shell
egg, in that it i'll keep longer.
Better speculate in Wall street
than in the butter and egg MARKET %
was the advice given by Mr.. Kunkel.
The egg" he added, "is football
from the time it leaves the hen until
it reaches the table"
Mr.. Walton in opposing the bill to
prohibit the keeping of foodstuffs in
cold storage for longer period than
one year, said that Limitation would
be all right for eggs, because they had
to be thrown away, anyhow, after
they were nine months old. That was
not true of butter, said the witness.
The investigation in Hudson coun-
ty," said Mr.. Garvan, demonstrated
to our satisfaction that the cold stor-
age system is an important and q
controlling factor in producing and
maintaining the present high cost of
living. The big cold storage packers
do not conserve oveS-production, as
they claim, but seize as much as they
can in times Of plenty, decreasing the
supply and thereby creating unnatur-
al prices. They add to this by hold
ing the bulk of the supply until they
are able to force the public to take

Quebec Will Soon Stop Grown
Lands Wood Expectation
to United States

Quebec, April 13.-That the pro-
vince of Quebec will. in the near
future. prohibit the expectation of
pulp wood. cut on the crown lands
of the province, to the United States,
was announced in the legislature yes
terday afternoon by Premier Gouin.
The premier said:
II have been criticised for speaking
on the question of the expectation of
pip wood at a bankuet in Montreal
shortly after the close of the last ses-
sion. l did this because l wanted to
let the public know of our stand be-
fore submitting the matter to the
house in order that the views of all
interested parties might be heard be-
fore the matter was finally settled.
What l declared in Montreal I repeat
here, that We will prohibit the ex-
portation of pulp wood to the United
States.
1--WE have notified the limit holders
of the province that we will increase
the stumpage dues an average of sixty
per cent and the ground rent from So
to IS per square mile.
"We have not spoken of this ques-
tion during the earlier part of the
season because when the session open
ed tariff war was threatened be-
tween Canada and the United States.
Eve have the right to prohibit the
expectation Of pulp wood by order-it-
council. Within few days an order
will therefore be passed by the coun-
Gil to this effect. Our new laws will
be similar to those of Ontario on the
subject"
The increase in timber dues and
ground rents of limits can not be in
augurated until September 1. but the
premier stated that the prohibition of
expectation would be passed within a
few days and would 60 into effect im-

THREE THEORIES
Suicide, Accidental Death and Murder
Involved in Missouri Case.

Hannibal, Mo-, April 13.-Although
a coroner's jury this afternoon re-
turned verdict of suicide or acci-
dental death in the case of Mrs. Ger
trude Maxwell, wealthy widow, who
was found dead in a trunk at her home
near Palmyra, relatives are not con-
vinced that she ended her own life anu
declare they will conduct a more
thorough investigation than that of the
jury. County Treasurer Wade Max
we'll, son. declares his mother was
murdered and is working on this
theory.
Friends of the woman scout the sui
eide theory. and believe her death was
accidental. She was of a timid dis
position, they say, and. in their belief,
became frightened and hid herself in
the trunk, dying from suffocation.

WRONG DOPE
Rancher Lost $4,000 in Wire Tapping
Scheme at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, April 13.-Louis Gull
bert, a rancher Of Ellensburg, WASH.
appealed to the police today for as
sistance in recovering $4,000, which
he declares he lost ON a fake "wire
tapping" scheme in San Francisco
yesterday.
Guilbert told the police he was in
duced by two men named Lane and
Mcguire to place bet of $4,000 in
a Market street place which is de-
scribed as a pool room.
They declared they had tapped"
the wires to the Everyville race track.
After his money was up, he said, the
place was raided by supposed t.etec-
tives. His companions aided him in
escaping and put him aboard train
for Los Angeles. He was to have met
them at Tucson for division of their
winnings.
