CHICAGO. March 2. John R. Walsh,
president of the defunct Chicago National
Bank, which closed its doors December
36. 1095, was today taken Into custody
on a Federal warrant which charges him
with violation of. tho National banking
taws ki making false returns to the Con
troller of the Currency and also asserts
that he converted to his own use without
proper authority funds of the bank
amounting to J3.O00.O90. He was released
after Ktviwr bonds of ?M).O00.
31ade False Bank Statement.
The complaint allogos In specific terms
that on November 18. JD03. the Chicago
National Bank transmitted to the Con
troller of the Currency a statement of
the financial condition of the bank at the
etlase of business on November 9. In this
statement, it says, "the said John - R.
Wnluli unlawfully made certain false en
trice to the effect that at the close of
lusine. on the 9th day or November
tlte amount of loans and discounts of the
wM banking association on which the
ulcers himI directors thereof were then
liable either as payor or Indorser. was
9IS.0W. whereas. In truth the amount of
much loans and discounts was $3,000,000.
and another falne entry to the effect that
the amount of loans and discounts of the
.i4 association on which the officers and
directors were not liable as payers or
Imlorsers was 510.65S.22C. whereas In
truth the amount of such loans and dis
counts on which officers and directors
were not liable was much smaller, name
ly, jrmwo."
Misapplied $3,000,000 or Funds.
Another section of the complaint al
leges that Walsh had in his possession
--funds and money of the oanK amount
t t sa.O00.O00. with tho Intent to In
jure and defraud the bank." The $3,000.'
fc mentioned in this section of the com
plaint is. however, identical with the
amount specified as being loaned to of
ficers of the bank.
Jt i further alleged that John R.
Walsh. John M. Smith and William
IImil directors of the bank, "and other
perrons too numerous to mention, un
lawfully misapplied this money by con
verting it to the personal and private use
of John R. Walsh without any proper
authority whatever."
The arrest of Mr. Walsh came as the
direct result of the last examination of
the books of the Chicago National Bank,
nuirto hv Snecial Examiner Arthur R.
Curry, sent to Chicago from Washington
fho rintji. furnished to the Treasury De-
nitninnt in Washington 'was sent to1
"District Attorney Morrison in this city.
with Instructions to take tho proper
(tons.
Mr. Morrison early today swore to the
Momnlahit before United States Commis
sioner Foote. who Issued a warrant for
the arrest of Mr. Walsh and placed it in
tho lmmU of Denuty Marshal aildaieton,
Mr. Walsh was found In his office and
irfaeed under arrest, but friends of the
ex-banker asked that the officer wait for
a few hours before allowing the news or
the arrost to become public because of
jine financial matters that might be ar-
fmtd. This was granted, and twice
more the friends of Mr. Walsh asked and
obtained a brief respite. A short time
after 2 o'clock, however, air. Middleton
refuted to wait for a longer time and
took Mr. Walsh to the office of United
States Marshal Ames.
All of the doors leading to the private
office of" Marshal Antes were locked and
all attendants, and attaches of his office
and those of Mr. Morrison were instructed
o aav notntnx concerning tne arrcsu .air,
Ames declared That, so far as he knew
nothing had been done in the Walsh mut
t r. and Mr. Morrison expressed himself
in the same manner. After remaining in
tho office of Mr. Ames for .two hours. Mr.
Walsh was released under bond furnished
by tho Illinois Surety Company.
After being releasod on fcail Mr. Walsh
mode the following statement:
The cbarse in effect Is that, as president
f 5lJe bank. 1 ntgned roport to the Con
twffler, -which report, it is now alleged, is
false. The report In nuenilon would ordl
norily have btjtm signed by the &&hlcr, but
by ircatwn of ' Ms terrtporary absence it was
Mtsned by roe as a matter of course. The re
port rctnrrea te. however, was undoubtedly
twToct la every particular. Thefc facts will
! cloarty established .by the evidence II the
-ae reaches a stage when evidence is pro-
dueed. I bolieve, however., that a more thor-

partinont of Justice and a comparison of the
report with the books ot the bank will con

tlon Sh uncalled for and cannot -be eustained,
Any Inference that mighty bo drawn from
the complaint that there ha been any mis

before Cpmmlssloner Foote was se for

Blow Below. Belt, Says Walsh..
For the first time since his falluro .Mr.
Walsh i today .seemed depressed, over the
turn ot affairs. In speaking to Commis
sioner Foote he remarked that this was
"a blow below the bolt," entirely unex
pected, and He did not "just understand
what it meant or who was responsible
for It."

Canal Company's Lawyer and Ala
bama Senator Have Another Ex
change of Compliments.
To Americanize Canal.
WASHINGTON, March t. The letter
from William Nelson Cromwell to the
late Secretary of State Hay, under date
of December 5, 1SS, was taken up by
Senator Morgan today In the examination
of Mr. Cromwell before the commltteo on
intcroceanic canals. The period covered
by tho letter was when the Panama Canal
Company was seeking a prolongation of
Its concessions on the isthmus.
The letter referred to an Inclosurc, and
Mr. Cromwell repeatedly declined to state
the nature of the inclosurc or to discuss
the correspondence In any manner. Ex
traordinary political conditions in Bogota
were referred to in the letter, and Mr. j
Morgan asked concerning this reference. I
When the witness declined to discuss It,
the Senator asked whether Hie witness
felt that ho was obliged to conceal any i
actions that would bo against the inter- J
cstB of tho United States. I
"I refuse to answer such hypothetical
and impertinent questions," said Mr.
Cromwell
Exchange of Compliments.
'I am compelled by tho attitude of this
committee to accept your unusual and In
decent replies," said Morgan.
They are no more unusual or indecent
than your questions," asserted the wit-,
nc-ss.
Senator Taliaferro interrupted and de
manded to know wherein the question was
indecent, and witness said the Indecency
was In the assumption that ho had been
employed to do anything against the in
terests of the united States, xaliaicrro
then demanded that the witness be In
structed not to make insulting replies to
inquiries.
Chairman Millard said he thought tne
character of the reply by witness was un
called for, and Senator Kittrcdge sug
gested that the questions be couched In
different language.
This Is not the first time I have no
ticed an inclination on the part ot the
witness to insult his Interrogators," said
Taliaferro.
The colloquy between the members of
the committee was brought to a close by
Morgan, who said ho entertained no re
sentment to insults from the wltncm;
that he had too much self-respect for
that He counseled his colleagues not to
concern themselves in his behalf.
Cromwell Again Plays Rogers Acl.
In resuming the examination. Morgan
read the testimony of the secretary of
the Panama Canal Company before tho
canal committee four years ago. discuss
Ing the desire of the company to surren
der the canal project to the Tnited States.
Mr. Cromwell refused to testify on this
subject, taking shelter behind his profes
sional relations to the company. As Mor
gan construed the testimony of his secre
tary. Mr. Lampre. he saia tne company
planned to tako the canal project out of
the hands of the Republic of Colombia
and Americanize It.
Mr. Cromwell refused to answer any
question on the subject, but Morgan pur
sued the inquiry, asking the witness if he
had not himself drawn the plan.
Again the Senator asked Mr. Cromwell
if he had not shown the plan to a num
ber of persons. Mr. Cromwell said ho
had outlined a different plan to the rivers
and harbors committee of the House, but
he refused to state the difference between
the Lampre scheme and that submitted to
the House committee.
May 3(akc Him Answer.
Taliaferro appealed to the chairman to
know whether the witness could refer to
the plan offered to the House committee
and then refuse to explain its provisions
on the ground that professional secrets
were Involved.
Mr. Cromwell .said tho document would
speak for itself.
Taliaferro said that the witness should
not dictate the manner In which the com
mittee gets its information.
After considerable discussion, the wit
ness outlined the House committee plan
briefly. It was determined that the ques
tion of compelling the witness to answer
should be considered by the committee at
an executive session.
Throughout the examination of Mr.
Cromwell Mr. Morgan kept close to the
civil war in Colombia, which was the fore
runner of the organization of tho Panama
Republic He appeared to be trying to
connect Mr. Cromwell with the Internal
disturbances of this South American re
public. ICittr edge's objections disturbed this ex
amination. Why Markcl Hired Millard.
At the afternoon session J. E. Market.
of Omaha, was examined concerning the
canceled contract he had with the Canal
Commission to establish a commissary on
the isthmus. Mr. Markel was questioned
concerning his expense bill allowed by
the Canal Commission with particular
reference to an Item of J250 paid to W. B,
Millard. He said W. B. Millard was the
son of Senator Millard and that his cm

Wallace Says Tchuantcpec Railroad

CHICAGO. March 2. John F Wallace,
formerly chief engineer of the Panama
Canal, was the chief speaker at the ban
quet of the Illinois Manufacturers' Asso
ciation tonight. He chose for his sub
ject "Some Phases of the Panama Prob
lem." Mr. Wallace said hat the British rail
road across the isthmus of Tehuantepcc,
276 mile?", would in future anticipate In a
larse measure the benefits of construction
of the Panama Canal and give Immediate
results pending Its accomplishment, with
a strong probability of being able to retain-
the trade, if once secured. He con
tinued: This railroad Is btt&c constructed la a
most subttantlal way. Modern machinery
and xaethods will enable the rsilrosd to
conduct a profitable boslners at a rate of
not to exceed S- per ton from shlphold to
ablphold. and the time from ship t ship
should not exceed an average of two days.
The advantage of Tehuantepcc over the
Suez route in the saving; ot money and
time make It self-evident that In the years
that wIU elapse before the completion of
the canal our British cousins will undoubt
edly build up a larca and pro table basts ess
waich It will be difficult thereafter to di
vert back to the Panama route.
The remedy lies In the Immediate pro
