outs. Unless the disputes can be ended

Metal employers and the metal trade work
ers An adjustment of differences In this
trade will have great influence upon tile
situation In all Industries.
The total number Of metal workers is
close TO 100000 They have been financially
assisting the striking ship builders, and in
order to cut off this aid the Association of
Metal Employers recently decided 70 lock
out 60 per cent OF its men unless the ship
builders returned TO work by October g.
In retaliation the employees voted to declare
strike OF the other 40 per cent in the
event that the threatened lockout Of 60 per
cent ,of their number was enforced.
The 400O0 striking ship builders show no
signs Of weakening, The managing com
mittee OF the socialist party Is aiding h tha

Body of Michael
Rold is Found in
River at Chicago
Police Completely Baffled, Being
Unable to Solve Mystery of the
! Mans Death,

CHICAGO, Sept 24-(special Telegram
The body of Michael Rold a wealthy
real estate dealer of Rogers Park, was
found today in secluded spot on the
north branch of the Chicago river with a
handkerchief wound tightly round the
neck. The police are Investigating his
death on the theory that the victim was
lured to the place and strangled by rob-
hers or personal enemies. Rold was 50
years old and lived at 1880 Lunt avenue.
The police Immediately began work on
the theory that Rold had been murdered,
but at every stage of the preliminary in
vestigation they were baffled. 1t ap-
peared to be one OF the most mysterious
mysteries in the annals of the police de-
partment
Mr.. Rold had been missing from home
since Thursday. Members of the family
we're emphatic in the belief that he had
been murdered The motive for the sup
posed crime, however, is q mystery which
the police attempted TO unravel. Robbery
was not the motive, as gold watch and

PRISONERS HEALTH FAILING
Reports State Aged Man is Suffering
from Heart Failure.
PETITION OF MANY VOLUMES
which He was Convicted In
vOIved No Moral TurDItude
or Personal Profit.

WASHINGTON. Sept. PA petition to
the president of the United States for the
pardon of John Il. Walsh, the former pres
ident of the Chicago National bank from
the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan.
was filed at the Department of Justice
today by Attorney George I. Buckingham
Of Chicago, on behalf of Mary l.. Walsh,
Richard w. Walsh and John w. Walsh, re-
spectively the wife and sons Of the pris-
oner.
Accompanying the formal application for
a 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 COM
prises twenty-five volumes. Besides letters
from personal friends and business asso-
ciates there were letters from all the Of
ficers and directors of the Walsh banks
which were involved in the case, letters
from the banks stockholders and de-
positors and jurors who found Walsh guilty
Of misappropriating funds of his bank.
In 1907 Mr. Walsh was found guilty of a
violation Of the United States banking
laws. in having made excessive loans to

reasons Advanced for Pardon.
Az set forth in the petition the grounds
ON which his pardon is asked are as fol-
lows:
THAT the crime for which he was found
guilty does not involve moral turpitude.
and that none of the acts on which con-
viotion was based were done for. or re-
suited in, any profit to himself.
,srhat the depositors in all the banks
! vim which he was connected were paid in
| full and Immediately.
l.rhat the loss of nearly all his own large
| personaI fortune, caused by the forced liz.
uidation of the banking institutions, is
! equivalent to a financial fine, many times
in excess OF any usually imposed, and Is
in itself a most severe punishment already
suffered.
THAT this loss Of power, prestige anC
positlon together with the humiliation Of
a conviction and Imprisonment, Is pun
ishment already suffered greatly In ex
cess of the usual.
That the racking strain of the foul
years struggle to save his personal name
as well as to save loss to parties inter
ested, has, with his advanced age, so seri
ously affected his health that a continued
Imprisonment is likely to result fatally"

Gratis IL the mayor Is chosen as the stsnd-

the independence league may do.
