OUT UNDER $50,000 BOND Judge Grosc-np Applies for Writ of Supersedeas; Which Is Granted. Defendant Ordered to Taj' the Entire Costs of the Suit. CHICAGO. March 13. A five-year sen tence fn tlie Federal penitentiary at Fort Javenworth was today given John R. Walsh by Judge Anderson in the United States District Court. Walsh was convict ed of illegal use. of the funds of the Chi cago National Bank and was denied a new trial. As soon as the court had announced the refusal to grant a new trial, the attor neys for the defense entered a motion in arrest of judgment, on which they argued for some time. It was generally thought at the courtroom that they would con sume three or four hours stating their reasons for the granting of this motion, but Attorney Hart, who presented it, ceased speaking in about 30 minutes. Judge Anderson then promptly over ruled the motion and sentenced the bank er to five years in Fort Leavenworth. Judge Anderson in denying the motion for a new trial spoke without notes, his decision requiring about one hour in de livery. He first took up the question of the alleged non-assent to the verdict by Juror Palmer, reciting the circumstances from the record of the court and declar ing; "It cannot be said for a moment that Palmer dissented from the verdict. To my mind there is but one construction to be placed upon the whole matter, and that Is that he assented to the verdict. If it had happened to counsel for the de fendant that he did not do so, they should either have asked that the jury ,be sent back for further deliberation or that it be discharged. No such request was made and the court is therefore justified in saying that counsel took, at that time, the same view as was held by the court and that was that the verdict was en tirely regular." No Misconduct of Jury, The court further declared that charges of misconduct on the part of the jury were not founded on fact, saying that counsel for the defense had stated in open court that they had no objections to offer to whatever degree of liberty the court might allow the jury at times when court was not in session. This being the ease, he declared that counsel was barred from claiming that too much liberty had been allowed, particularly when it had not been shown that any improper use had been made of the freedom granted. "It is claimed by the defense that the alleged fact that, while in a variety theater, one of the jurors in this trial removed the garter of an actress. What that has to do with this cass I cannot Imagine, and why dignified counsel should bring it Into this case is beyond my com prehension. It has not logical or possible relation to the deliberations of the jury." On the point of alleged error committed during the trial. Judge AnUi rson said: "Generally speaking. I want to say now that thin defendant has had a fair trial. Nowhere did the court allow evidence to go before tills Jury which was calculated alone to prejudice the case of the de fendant. Evidence Was Conclusive. "In my opinion, no reasonable, man could hear the evidence in this case and have an- doubt that the defendant in tended t do the things that are charged against him In the indictment. For more, thiin 30 years I have taken part in legal procedure as a lawyer and as a Judge, and It Is my deliberate conviction that a more reckless utter disregard of law has never been shown in any case within my experience. Judge Anderson then overruled the mo tion for a new trial. The defense made a motion in arrest of judgment, but after Attorney Hart had spoken for 30 minutes the court inter' rupted him. saying: "I think you may place those matter before the Court of Appeals, Mr. Hart; you are making no showing here." Turning to the prisoner. Judge Ander son said: - Mr. Walsh, have you anything to say why I should not now pronounce judg ment upon you?" Walsh, without arising, shook his head slightly and the court said: "The character of the evidence and the character of the crime of which this de fendant has been found guilty, calls for extreme Judgment. The facts are. how ever, that the defendant is 70 years old and that mere imprisonment is, of itself, so heavy a punishment In a case of this kind I have concluded that the law will he satisfied with the minimum penalty, which is five, years." The court further directed that all the counts in the indictment be served con currently, and further directed that the defendant pay the entire cost of the trial. An application was Immediately made by Judge Orosscup. of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, for a writ of supersedeas, which was granted. and Walsh was released under bonds of Jo0, H pending; the hearing of his appeal. M BPKNAS FOR 39 ARE ISSI ED t.ranri .lury In State Rank Case Must Appear in Court. CARSON'. Nov.. March 13. This morning subpenas for 39 witnesses to appear In court tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock were served. The wit nesses were demanded by T. B. Kiokey. The names Included all the members of Ormsby County grand jury and all witnesses who testified before that body while they were hearing: evidence in the State Bank Trust Company rases, and on which 17 indictments were returned. It Is believed the purpose of the de fense will he to show that most of the members of the grand jury were de positors in the bank and it is also said that some will be examined as to threats that they made before the grand Jury met as to what they would do In the way of Indictments If they did not get their money. REFUSES RECEIVER FOR MORSE Judge Holt bays He Must Know if Petitioners Are Creditors. NEW YORK. March 13. A petition ask ing that Charles W. Morse, the former banker and steam'ship promoter, be de clared a bankrupt, was filed in the Fed eral Court today. The petitioners are Charles A. Hanna. receiver of the Na tional Bank o( North America, of which Worse was at one time president; Frank G. Pringle and Edward B. Shotwell. Mr. Hairha, as rceiver. has a claim of J303. 3C1 against Morse. He says that against this claim there have been deposited se curities valued at $150,000. The claims of Pringle and Shotwell are for 30 shares each of the stock of the National Bank of North America. The petition charges that Morse made certain preferred payments while he w-as insolvent. Judge Holt, in the United States Cir cuit Court, this .afternoon refused to ap point a receiver for Charles W. Morse in the bankrupt proceedings begun against him today until the issue as to whether the petitioners in the bank ruptcy matter are creditors of Morse is settled. Attorney James M. Gifford, rep resenting Morse; maintained that they are not creditors and that their claims are non-Iiquidatable because they concern slock transactions. Mint Again Active. PHILADELPHIA, Me.rch 13. With the returning wave of prosperity, the United States Mint in this city has again become a golden beehive of in dustry. Throughout the week em ployes who had been laid off have been receiving instructions to resume their posts and yesterday a full f rce was at work, aggregating about 550 persons. It was stated at the Mint that this renewal of activity was due to fresh orders from Washington for immediate Coinage. Leading these orders was one for 110,000.000 more in lu'O gold coins. This, it was said, would probably be followed by still another order for the same pieces. In addition there will be a heavy coinage of silver and copper. Dawes Refuses Again. CHICAGO. March 13.

HMD ilisFnRCTIC RIGORS OF FAR NORTH BREAK HEALTH OF ARMY MEN. War Department Recalls All Troops Stationed In Alaska for Two Years or More. SEATTLK. Wash.. March 13. (Special.) As the result of the mental derange ment of Master Signal Klectrlcian George Trefflnger. at Fort Davis. Alaska, the War Department has issued orders that as soon as navigation opens, ail army men who have been in the North more than two years are to be withdrawn. Trcffinger has been constantly on duty in Alaska since July, 1904. having been retained there upon his own request, be yond the usual period of duty. The trouble, with Trcffinger is sup posed to be due to the rigorous climate and the conditions under which army men have to serve in Alaska. There are now 36 enlisted men of the signal corps who have been there since' the Summer of 1506, or prior thereto. About 15 signal men are stationed iii Alaska. The TrefTlngcr case is not the first In which mental trouble has resulted from long service In the Arctic region. It is also stated that officers coming home from Alaska have exhibited abnormal mental tendencies, which have, however, disappeared after remaining in a tem perate climate for a time.

The rescue was one of great difficulty and all Japanese of the city took part in the presentation oMhe vase. New England's "Shooting Vp." Boston Transcript. The sensation at Wobum, Mass., the other evening was something without a recent parallel in New England. It prac tically amounted to "shooting up the town." Two or three bold and desperate men carried terror to an entire city, and the whole of Middlesex County has been stirred by this audacious and fatal thug gery as it has rarely been stirred before. Crime of this extreme character has be come alarmingly common this season in Boston and its surrounding towns and cities, but Woburn seeme to have fur nished its climax up to date. The boldness of these deeds, and the frequent places in which they often oc cur are among their peculiar features. As compared with some Western cities, this section has enjoyed immunity from offenses from this desperate character, and it is not probable that the situation will become chronic. It is the very nn preparedness for such unwonted experi ences that haa given the thugs their op portunity. The situation demands not merely extra vigilance, but a roundup of suspicious characters, and the imposition of the full penalty of the law when one of the felons is captured. The lack of employment may be in part accountable for this epidemic of serious crime, though as a rule an industrious laborer does not graduate into a deliberate and full fledged yeggman or highwayman on such short notice. It is a new emergency that calls for the most vigorous and vigilant handling. .

The American Embassy today certified to the Indictment in this city in December of Oiga Stein, a Russian woman, on charges of swindling and embezzlement. The cer tification will be forwarded to Washing ton and be ueed as the basis for extra diting the woman. The documents in the case make no mention of the betrayal of military or political secrets. Oiga Stein was arrested in New York March 9. at the instance of the Russian government, charged with larceny in Rus sia of J50.0i. Mmc. Stein's operations in St. Petersubrg wore sensational and she has been likened to Mine. Humbert, the famous Paris swindler. She moved in good society in St. Petersburg and was reputed to bo a millionaire. She ob tained large loans on the strength of a pretended French inheritance and the possession of real estate in the Russian capital. She would even stoop, however, to practicing methods of petty swindling upon tradesmen and her servants. It is believed that she obtained in all several million dollars. The heavy losers by Mme.

She enjoyed influential protection by which she long escaped prosecution, and she was suc cessful in Intimidating the Russian news papers. Dalles-Baker Debate Postponed. THE DAL.IJES. Or.. March 13.

GUADD CHILD'S FOOD Wiley Urges Mothers to Eter nal Vigilance. WAR UPON ADULTERATION Government Chemist Tells Mothers in Congress They Can Enforce Pure Food !. hy Kcfnng to Buy Impure Food. WASHINGTON. March 13. An urgent plea or pure food in the household was made today by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley. Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture in an address before the International Congress of the Welfare of the Child, which is being held under the auspices of the National Mothers' Congress. Dr. Wiley emphasized the importance of the mothers of the country being eternally vigilant u to the source of food products that come into their homes, to see that they are fresh, uncontamlnated. palatable and wholesome. Dr. Wiley said that the best way of exeeut'ng the pore food law is in the household. Should Demand Pure Food. "If every mistress of a household in this country should demand pure foodet," he declared, "there would be little dlffl culty in courts, and manufacturers would soon cease . making things which the mothers of this country would refuse to buy for use in their families." He added that there should be a cry against the mixing of certain substances with foods to make them palatable. Dr. Wiley called attention to the great im portance of purity in such articles as but ter, maple syrup, honey and all dairy supplies. The danger to health and actual threat of death in the case of infants that are fed impure milk is one of the greatest curses of the country, he said. Force Manufacturers to Reform. "My plea is." he continued, "in order to secure pure food in the household, that this and similar organizations unite to compel the manufacturers and dealers in foodstuffs to stop all adulterations, to stop all misbranding, to stop all coloring, all deception and furnish the pure, un adulterated and palatable article." A symposium on Parent Teachers As sociations was conducted by Mrs. Edwin C. Grice, of Philadelphia, at tonight's meeting, after which five-minute reports were made- from different states.

CANCER BAFFLES SURGERY Researches During 1007 for Kenn edy Bring Negative Results, New York World. The year 1907 was notable for exten sions In all directions of researches to discover a nemedy for. cancer. Results, however, were almost negative. Dr. Tuf fier. of the Hospital Beau j on, and one of the greatest lights of the French medi cal world, said: "It is almost humiliating: to think that after 25 years of hospital practice I feel myself as ignorant of the nature of can cer as at the beginning. There Is noth ing 1 have not tried, even the things least probable, but the result is always the" same the cancer progresses. The knife still seems the only resource. "One can never speak definitely f can cer. A case of very small cancer may be taken at the beginning and a wide extirpation made, but in a short time the cancer recurs. This term In Itself is a misnomer. Cancer does ot recur, but simply persists or has been reinocu lated. There is no such thing as recur rence or of earner completely removed with all of the infected tissues, but in nearly every case the knife leaves some thing behind, and In the process of the operation there is a s6rt of new graft produced by the knife itself. "On the other hand, I have- had cases where it seemed hopeless to operate. I have closed the operation wound and the patient has done surprisingly well. In one case a lady came to me afflicted with a cancer which had been pronounced beyond the stage of operation. She said her daughter was to be married in four, months, and all she required was that she should be able to waJk about on the day of the wedding. She did not care how soon after the wedding day she would be unable to walk. "I did my best to satisfy her desire. She walked about on the wedding day and has been walkipg about ever since, which was 16 years ago. "Kach cancer has its own peculiarity. Do what you like, cancer does what it likes.' "There is one resource. It has been noticed that an animal M not inoculable with linuid expressed from its own can cer. Following up this idea, it is thought possible that a recurrence of cancer is preventable by similar inoculation.
