To Prison in Old Age.

When John r. Walsh entered prison he
was an old man. seventy-fve years OF
are. and left behind him to face the
odium of the world a wife and FIVE
children. His sentence OF five years had
been imposed on him for unwarranted
use Of bank money to save himself from
the crash threatened because of the &C
tivity OF interests more powerful than
himself The great financial institutions
which he had founded after his phe-
nominal rise from the station of news
boy were tottering under the strain of
the one sided fight. The desperate meas
ures resorted TO by Walsh brought about
his downfall, and he was the first of the
big bankers to be put In prison.
beginning at the bottom, John II.
walsh worked. fought his way upward
until he owned a bank. newspaper and
a railroad. He came to this country In
1870 when twelve years old. and started
al a newsboy in Chicago. BY sheer ag-
rressfveness he outdid his older competi-
Tors and made himself a place as a news
paper dealer in the downtown district In
Chicago. He soon opened branch news
stands and a periodical store.
Walsh was quick to see an opportunity
and grasp IL. He recognized In the civil
war n chance to increase the scope of his
business. The country districts wanted
all the news they could get of the fight.

Two Sources Of Money.

Two Sources Of Money.
Before Walsh plunged into the arena
of speculation his bank took over the
Home Savings Bank with hundreds OF
small depositors. Now with two sources
of money at his command. he began his
more precarious undertakings. organizing
the Equitable Trust Company to be the
instrument for his deals.
Through venture In Ogden gas he was
interested in the consolidation OF the
various gas companies in the city. He
operated in the Illinois tunnel project and
was concerned in gas enterprises at Pc
oria and Akron, as well as several cleo
trio systems. other banks. mines, quar-
ries and publishing enterprise.
His forethought brought him safely

silver times and were sound while
others went to pieces.
Walsh's losing fight began when he Sc
cured control Of the Quarries Of the town
Of Bedford. where he built a bank and
acquired ownership Of the little railroad
His influence in Washington resulted in
Bedford stone being used In many fed
eral buildings. But the railroads charged
too much to carry the stone. he thought,
the Southern Indiana railway and ex-
tended II SO as to connect quarries and
coal fields In Indiana. The "impudence"
of this move made the great trunk lines
his foe. They refused to give him out
lets for his Indiana trafflc. AS last re-
source. he tried to build the road into
Chicago. The task was too great for
his means.
Political Alliances Broken.
Political alliances broke. When Deneen
became Governor of Illinois walsh's bank
lost custody Of the state funds upon
which 1t had almost depended for many
years. A new coterie of republicans also
caused the Chicago city funds to be with
drawn. A few months later, December
Is. 1905. Walsh's Chicago National Bank
suspended payment. Other Walsh enter
prises were smashed by the failure Elk
animation OF the books showed that
Walsh had made q false report to the
controller and that he had misapplied
about $3O0O.OOO of the banks funds to
stave OF collapse Of his tottering enter
pr1ses. This amount had gone to Walshs
railroads. 1t was contended. through
his personal account Much of 1t was
raised through prornissory notes, signed
by dummies and really paid to himself

found guilty on fifty counts. His APP

Missourian Tells Senate That Intcrven-

WASHINGTON. May 9.-Thc danger
To American lives on the border as re-
suit OF the revolution In Mexico was the
subject OF sharp controversy In the sem
ate today, The killing OF several citizens
In El Psso as the result of yesterdays
battle in Juarez WAS the immediate prov
oCatlon.
Senator Stone again urged the use Of
United States troops to protect Amcri-
cans and changing his attitude toward the
presidents course. practically charged him
with playing a. saL.e OF bluff In sending
the army to The front.
The Missouri senator declared that tho
president was allowing himself to he
bound by red tape In previously lndors-
ing the dispatch OF troops 10 the border,
he had supposed the presidents step was
taken IN the interest of American ciu-
Zens. but that II was a mere game OF
bluff. The president, he thought. must
have had more serious purpose In mind
at the start, but manifestly Il change
had come over the spirit OF his dream.
Mr.. Bacon responded that Mr.. Stones
proposed course would plunge this coun
try into immediate war.
Mr.. Stone admitted there had been no
intentional sacrifice of American lives as
the resul, of the Mexican battles but said
the killing Of American citizens had been
equivalent 10 deliberate Intention.
Mr.. Chamberlain suggested that both

such a situation, Without acting, the
senate adjourned until Thursday.
The cabinet at a meeting TODAY con-
sidered the Mexican situation, but no
change in the presidents policy was ad-
Vocatcd there
One bit of information leaked out at
the White House showed that European
governments are apparently willing TO
give Mexico an opportunity to solve her
own problem. The president told callers
that so far no foreign government has
suggested that the United States take
action to protect American and other
foreign property and that IL this nation
intended 10 live by the Monroe doctrine
il must maintain order. Italy is the
only European nation that has seemed
concerned about the matter.
