MAY BARE BIG BANK CRASH
cred Making Public Facts as to
His Enemies.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Death of John R.
Walsh, instead of keeping secret
inside history Of the events which
led to the failure of his banks, may
lay it bare in all it's mysterious de-
tails. 1t was announced that the story
of the great financial crash had al
ready been partially prepared. II
made public, it was declared, it would
involve great flnanciers outside Of
Chicago and political enemies of Mr..
Walsh. 1t would be supported, it was
said, by mass of evidence, docu-
mentary and otherwise, which the for
mer banker had accumulated since his
troubles began.
The question of whether what Mr..
Walsh considered the truth of his
financial disaster shall be withheld
forever or finally told now rests with
the members of his family.

TAFT DEFERS ACTION
SUCCESSORS TO JUDGES NOT TO
BE CHOSEN UNTIL AFTER
CONGRESS MEETS.
BOOSTS ALREADY COMING IN
President Has Received Many Sug-
gestions for Filling Harlan's and
Groescup's vacancies-U. S. Mar
shall Bullock Is Guest Of Executive.

Glencoe, Mimi, Oct. 25.-When
President Taft returns to Washington
next month, not the least of his la
bors will be the filling of judicial va
cancies which have arisen since the
adjournment of congress in August.
While the slate which Mr.. Taft
must write next winter will not be SO
important nor so lengthy as that OF
last year, there are enough vacancies
to make it certain that the president
will devote much of his attention to
such appointments.
There is practically no chance now
that successor to Justice Harlan
will be selected by the president I'M
til he reaches Washington. 1t was
said when the presidents train stop
ped here that Mr.. Taft has given no
consideration at all to this matter.
| Has No Lack of Suggestions.
| The president has received many
suggestions from all over the coun-
try as to how he should fill the vacant
place on the Supreme bench, and
many names. including those Of At
torney General Wickersham. Solicitor
/ General Lehman and several others
! prominent in public life, have been
mentioned. 1t was said here by mem
bers of the party. however, that the
president has determined not to take
up the Supreme court vacancy until
after congress meets.
In addition to appointing justice
of the Supreme court, Mr.. Taft will
probably fill this winter existing va
Wisconsin districts and also appoint
a successor to United States Circuit
Judge Grosscup of Chicago.
In addition to these judicial ap,
pointments, the president will name a
member of the international boundary
commission to succeed Thomas H
Carter, deceased, and United States
New York.
Marshal Is With Taft.
Glencoe was the first stop on the
presidential schedule. Between this
town and Minneapolis, where the
president spends the night, his train
is expected to stop at Shakopee, St
Peter, Mankato, Madison, Lake, Wa
terville, Morristown, Faribault, North
field and Randolph.
Although South Dakota was left be
hind, United States Marshal Seth Bull
lock of that state is still travelling
with the president.
Colonel Bullock appeared at til,
banquet Of the Aberdeen Commercial
club in evening clothes, with spotles'

COMMERCE COURT
REFUSES PLEA
TRIBUNAL REFUSES TO COMPEL
lEHlGH VALLEY ROAD TO
LOWER RATES..
MlLLERS AWAIT |. C. S. DECISION
Immense Traffic of Staple From
Northwest to Be Affected-Hear-
ing Before McChord Sat
urday.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The com.
merce court of the United States
threw out the efforts to obtain lower
freight rates on the immense flour
traffic from Minneapolis and other
Northwestern points to the Atlantic
seaboard, when that tribunal, upon
conclusion of the arguments by repre-
sentatives of the Flour City line, de-
clined to extend it's mandamus to
compel the Lehigh Valley railroad to
make a 9.2-cent rate a 100 pounds
from Buffalo to New York.
The Flour City Line representatives
in Washington, Messrs. Trickett, An
drews & James, therefore decided not
to press their application for a writ
Of mandamus before the commerce
court, pending a hearing of their CON-
plant by the interstate commerce
commission. Their decision followed
a suggestion by the commerce court
that the interstate commerce commits
sion had ample authority to pass upon
the question at issue and to secure
for the Flour City Line a refund of
any excess charges made during the
tendency of their complaint, in case it
is upheld by the commission.
On this suggestion, the representa-
tives decided to drop the proceedings
in the commerce court and give their
entire attention to the hearing, which
is scheduled for Saturday, before
Commissioner McChord.
Ask Through Rates, Too.
The interstate commerce commits.
sion has set the hearing on a com.
plant by the Flour City Line demand.
ing that it be accorded through routes
and Joint rates with the eastern lines
on flour shipments. The real question
before the commerce court was one
of procedure, as the court does not
care to interfere with the lawful pre-
negatives of the commission, unless
such interference may be necessary to
insure fair rates to shippers.
The Lehigh Valley and all Other
lines operating eastward from Buffalo
make proportional rate on floul
shipped from Minneapolis to New
York city of 9.2 cents a hundred
pounds, when the product is received
over lines other than the Flour City
Line.
Counsel maintained that this wal

that the rate subsequently, shall b.

TWO PRICES PAID
ALBANY PAPERS
FOR PRINTING
Boss Barnes Journal Involved
in Alleged Graft
ABOUT $4,000 INVOLVED
Charged That Both State and County
Paid for One insertion Of
Session Laws

Albany, n Y, Oct 20.-Thousands
of dollars were spent in paying dupli-
cate bills presented by the Journal
Company for work only once done,
according to evidence presented yes
terday before the Senatorial Com
mittee, which is investigating the af-
fairs of Albany County and city of
ficers The Albany Journal, practi-
cally owned by William Barnes, Jr.,
Republican State Chairman, was
designated as the official State paper
for several years. 1t was also desig-
mated as one of the Albany County
papers AS the State paper, it pub.
lished all the session laws. AS the
county paper, it published such laws
as are applicable to Albany County.
For several years, under these
designations, the paper published the
laws once The State paid for the
printing, and the county also paid for
such county laws as appeared. The
accountants employed by James w,
Osborne, counsel OF the Investigating
Committee, estimated that about
$4,000 had been paid for duplica-
tons in this way. In 1907 Democra-
tic State officials objected to the
duplicated bills and withheld a por-
ton of the funds The Journal Com
pany appealed to the Supreme Court,
which decided against 1t. Since that
time, according to the testimony, the
Journal Company has made double
insertions of the laws. NJ. V. Dolan,
manager Of The Argus, admitted that
The Argus, as State paper, had made
the same double charge
HAS the Journal Company made
restitution Mr. Osborne asked
while John II. Lindsay, manager OF
The Albany Journal, was on the
stand.
1T has not. Mr. Lindsay replied
In the case of the city printing, II
was shown that the publishers OF

er, shared with the Journal Company
One Of the experts OF the commit
toe testified that on a portion OF the
city printing the city paid from 80 to
90 per cent too much The expert
also declared that the provision re
curing public bidding was deliberate
ly evaded.
