JOHN R, WALSH, OUT or
JAIL NINE DAYS, DIES
HEART DISEASE TAKES OLD
BANKER PREED ON PAROTE
Aged Chicago Financier Never Left
His Bed After Reaching Home
on October Is.

John r. Walsh, former banker and
railroad owner, who was released on
parole just ten days ago from the fed
eral prison at Leavenworth, Kansas,
died of heart disease in Chicago.
Mr.. Walsh had been in bed most Of
the time since his arrival in Chicago
from Leavenworth, Oct. Is. He had
been attended constantly by physi-
clans.
Mr.. Walsh had been sent to the
penitentiary on charges of misapprO-
priating the funds of the Chicago Ma
tional bank to the use of other enter.
prises.
Mr.. Walsh's health failed soon after
he entered the penitentiary. An imme-
diate movement to obtain his release
on parole was begun by members of
his family. At that time the examining
physician at the penitentiary said Mr..
Walsh was suffering with hardening
of the arteries. After his release, it
is believed, he was further weakened
by long, cold automobile ride of
twenty-siX miles from the prison to
Kansas City. When he arrived home
on the morning of Oct Is he was so
i'll and weak that he went to bed at
once and remained there until his
death.
Members of the family announced,
after the former banker reached his
home that he had given up all hope of
regaining his last position among the
leaders of finance. His son, Richard, to
whom he was paroled, became his
nominal employer, in accordance with
the government impRoviso that FIRST
friend" of a paroled man must guar
antee employment.
Death was caused by myocarditis,
an Inflammation of the heart muscles" 4"
said DR.. Joseph H. Lowe, who attend
ed him. when Mr.. Walesh returned
from the penitentiary his muscles
were swollen badly from the disease"
Mr.. Walsh was born in County Cork,
Ireland, and had lived in Chicago JIore

The entire Yang-Tse valley Is grad
ually succumbing to the revolutionary
infection. No uprising has yet been
reported at Nankin, which is only 200
miles above Shanghai, but there is
every reason to believe the garrison
there cannot be relied upon by the
imperial government. Nankin is not
only a great commercial center, but
is the most important military depot
in Central China, and it's fall would
be the most severe blow which the
government has yet received.
The government is taking steps for
defense even in Shanghai. During the
past few days there has been much
activity around the arsenal. The sit
uation is regarded as most alarming.
1t is generally admitted that unless
the government succeeds speedily in
dealing a decisive blow to it's adver-
saries the revolution will spread of
it's owl momentum over a great belt of
territory across central China.
The latest reports from Hankow
state the defeated government troops
moved northward and are now located
at Siaokan, awaiting the minister Of
war, General Yin Tchang, who in turn
awaits reinfrocements before attack
ing the insurgent positions. The reb-
els at Hankow and Wu-Chang are re-
ported now to be $4,000 strong and to
have quantities of rifles and 13O big
guns. Thousands of coolies are forti-
flying nearby hills. Two Chinese crius-
ers left Shanghai for the north.

TWO CAPITALS OF
PROVINCES FALL IN CHINA
IMPORTANT CITIES OCCUPIED
BY CHINESE REBELS.
Chang-Shaand Nan-Chang Are DeIiv
cred Into the Hands of MaIcon-
tents. Nankin is Wavering.

The occupation by Chinese revolu-
tionists OF Two more important south
ern cities, Chang-Sha and Nan-ChangS
was announced in dispatches which
reached Shanghai.
Chang-Sha is the capital of the
province of Human, and Nan-Chang is
the capital of the province of Kiangsi.
Their capture, therefore, delivers into
revolutionary hands the local govern
ments of two important provinces,
thereby more than doubling, the terri
tory in which the rebels are now the
masters
Chang-Sha, with 100000 population,
is the chief commercial center on the
railroad between Hankow and Canton.
1t is the seat of Ya-Li college, the
Chinese extension of Yale university.
Chang-Sha is 200 miles southwest of
Hankow, while Nan-Chang, with 10O,-
600 population, is correspondingly sit
uated 200 miles southeast of Hankow.
The fall of Chang-Sha and Nan
Chang had been rumOred here for a
day or two. Advices definitely confirm
that both cities are entirely in the
hands of the revolutionaries.
Four of China's eighteen provinces
are now regarded as under revolu-
tionary influence, Sze-Chuen, where
the movement started; Hu-Peh, of
which Wu-Chang is the capital; HUI
nan and Kiangsi. The fall of Nankin,
where the garrison is regarded as sid
ing with the revolutionaries, would de-
liver to them the voce royal govern
ment of two more provinces, KianS-
Su and Ngan-Hwei.
A Japanese firm at Nankin tele-
graphs the gates of that city have
been closed and no one is allowed to
enter the city exceut after a close
examination. The public is panic
stricken and an exodus is taking
place. Already 10 per cent of the popu-
lation of Nankin have left. Foreign
war vessels are daily proceeding up
the river to Nankin.

PLAYING BALL in HONDURAS
American National Game Fast Ac.
curing Strong Hold on People
Of Little Republic.

The national game of America Is
fast acquiring 8 strong hold on the
people Of Honduras. At the first
match game ever played in that Re
public, which was held at Tegucigalpa
on June "a, 1910, nearly ali the promi-
nent people, including many govern
ment officials, were present. The ma.
tional band was also in attendance
and helped to make the occasion q
great success. The umpire, who is
known as juez del campo, or field
Judge, had to give many difficult de-
c1sions, as the game was very well
played and extremely close and excit-
inf. The game was introduced by the
school authorities, who wished to
give the youth of the town some sort
of healthful outdoor sport, and the re-
suit has far surpassed their most san
guine expectations. Indeed, so popu-
lar has the game become that at any
time of the day or even of the night
boys can be seen in all the principal
streets and In the outskirts throwing
and batting balls to the danger of the
passer-by.
The boys take to the game natural
~ and play it with the same amazing
skill as do their brothers in Cuba,
where baseball is popular pastime.
Doubtless in a short time a league
will be formed, and the national game
OF America will be the national game
Of Honduras also Baseball Is a Won
derful game, combining as It does the
best qualities of the mind with those

people of Honduras can only result
IA their benefit.

HOW TO MANUFACTURE PAPER
Some Interesting Facts as to It's Origin
and Materials II Is Made Of
It's Many Uses.

We derive the word paper from the
Latin papyrus, the name of an Egyp-
tan plant. from which the ancients
made very desirable material for
writing Almost every species OF
tough, hbrous vegetable has at one
time or another been employed in the
manufacture Of paper. Even the roots
and the bark of trees, stalks of the
nsttle, the common thistle, the stem
OF the hollyhock, hay, straw, cabbage
stalks, willow. saWdust and wood shay.
ings have all been used.
In the library of the British Mu-
scum there is a book, printed in low
Dutch, that contains no less than fifty
eight specimens Of paper, all made Of
entirely different materials, the result
Of one mans experiments as far back
as 1772.
Whatever the material used. the pa-
per making process is the same: The
rags, bark or fbres must first be
made into smooth pulp, the pulp is
put into the paper machine, and in q
short time Is converted into paper.
The so-called rice paper OF the Chi
nese is not made Of rice. The name
is a missioner that originated in a
mistake. Rice paper is really the pith
of a Water-plant known to botanists as
the aralia papyrifera. The plant
Grows, usually. TO height OF twenty
i've feet. By means OF q long, thin,
very sharp knife, the pith is cut
around and around from the outside
towards the center. The largest
sheets that can be obtained In this
way are about fifteen inches in length
and about ten inches In width. These
sheets Of pith have q commercial
value in China, for. there they are
used in the manufacture Of many use-
ful and ornamental articles.
As soon as the sheets are cut they
are spread out, all little holes In them
are carefully mended with bits OF mica,
and they are then made fiat by pres.
sure. The small, inferior sheets are
brilliantly dyed. and then sold to
flower manufacturers. On the large
sheets native artists paint quaint,
pictures Of insects, birds
and flowers, and find q ready market
Tor them, both at home and abroad.
1t would be next to impossible To
tell Of all the ways in which it is pos.
sible to use paper. We are told that
t takes but tWenty-nine hours to CON
