FINDS NO ERROR IN RECORD JIROU PALMEB INCIDENT IS HELD UNIMPORTANT. Famous Chicago) Financier Remains Out On Bond Pending Decision Hy I'. S.

Supreme Court. CHICAGO, Oct. It, Walsh, convicted of misapplication o( the funds of the Chicago National bank, must serve the sentence of five years Imprisonment Imposed upon him by ths trial Jury, sava In the event that ths supreme court up. sets the affirmation of tha verdict of guilty handed down by the United States circuit court of appeals here today. Counsel for Mr, Walsh in their appeal laid stress on what they alleged was a lack of criminal Intent on the part of the defendant.

In the very lengthy brief which they filed much law was quoted to show that the convicted banker, newspaper publisher and railroad owner, used the funds of the bank in what considered a legitimate manner, The opinion of tha court of appeals, written by. Judge Humphrey and handed down by Judge Grosscup, Is brief and confined almost wholly to the question of criminal intent. The allegation that Juror Palmer was unduly Influenced is dismissed with a word, and but llttls more Is wasted in eliminating ths allegation of Inconsistency and repugnancy. "So long as there Is no Inconsistency hf the verdict as to tha substance of ths matter charged in the various counts," says the opinion, "ths verdict will not be disturbed. If the gravity 01 me marge In each count on which there has been a verdict of guilty is the same, thers la a consistency tn the verdict." As to Juror Palmer the opinion xads: "Tha record does not shew thst any Imnrnner Influence worked upon the Jury.

The return made to the ourt was In fact the verdict of twelve Jurera. The attempt by one of them afterwards to impeach his verdict can havo no consideration. This doctrine 1 well established and is based upon reason as well as upon authority." In the Instructions given the jury oy Judge Anderson in tha trial court tha higher tribunal finds no error. As to ths lack of criminal intent tha opinion reads: Under section 6209 there could be mis- application of bank funds by an officer which would be Innocent and not criminal and there could be misapplication which under the statutes would be criminal. What would show the difference between misapplications whlcl) were criminal and those which were not, what would show Innocence or guilt, good faith or bad faith? The court sought by instruction carefully to define and ws think did fairly deflnu." Counsel for Mr.

Walsh have thirty days In which to file application for a rehear ing by the court of appeals. Meanwhile he will be at liberty under his present bonds of $50,000. The court room was Jammed with a crowd which overflowed into he corridor during the proceedings. The eleventh hour attempt or tha de fense to file additional citations designed to show the lack of criminal intent cams to naught. The matter waa taken under consideration by those concerned before court opened and a decision reached that the new arguments would In no wise alter the opinion as already written.

His Spectacular Career. The rise Bnd fall of the fortunes of John R. Walsh, who Is now 72 years of age, forms an interesting chapter in the history of Americans who hare risen from obscurity to power. The three Walsh banks the Chicago National, the Equitable Trust company, and the Home Kavinga bank were closed by the comptroller of the currency on Dec. IS, 1906, nearly five years ago.

At that tirr.o Wash not only owned these Institutions and the Chicago Chronicle, but owned all, or nearly all, of ths stock of the following companies: The Acme Gas company, the Bedford Belt Hallway company, the Bedford Quarries company, the Chicago Routhern railway company, the Chicago W'harflng and Storage company, tha Indiana Routhern Coal company, the Illinois Southern railway company, the Lake Michigan Car Ferry Transportation company, the Mount Olive Stanton Coal company, the Ohio Quarries company (of Ohio), tha Ohio Quarries company (of Illinois), the Southern Indiana Coal company, the Southern Indiana Railway company, the Southern Missouri Railway company, and the Wisconsin ft Michigan railway company. According to the brief of the govern-' ment on the appeal all of these companies were bankrupt or on the verge of It when bought by Walsh for little or nothing. Their securities were unmarketable and practically worthless. Then, it Is alleged, Walsh formed corporations to buy these companies from himself, taking In payment stock of the new corporations and enough of their bonds to repay himself at their facs value for ths sums he actually paid for them, tn this way, according to the prosecution, he obtained for nothing stocks and bonds to the face value of JM.OOO.OOO. Walsh dreamed a great dream of a railway system to be pieced together from his scattered purchases which would reach from the Mississippi to the Ohio, through Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan to Dtiluth, and Superior, Wis, The quarries and coal mines were to furnish much of the traffic.

Borrowed Bank's Funds. To obtain funds Walsh had recourse to the funds In his banks. In covering up these loans It is alleged that he used memorandum notes signed with the names of clerks who were not consulted in ths matter. There was nothing on ths books to show that Walsh had received the loans. Even Fred Blount, the vice Is said to have been Ignorant on the subject.

For collateral Walsh deposited tha securities of his various enterprises. For two years It is charged that Walsh Ignored tho demands of the controller of the currency that he place his banks on a firm foundation, and when the crash came It was discovered that 8 per cent of the securities held we.re those of Walsh properties. Of the $26,000,000 deposits, $16,000,00 were represented by ths paper and securities of the Walsh enterprises.

A tie vote at the school board meeting last night disposed of tha plan to establish fund whose possession would enable tha district to carry its own Insurance, aa the state of Iowa does on its vast properties, Dlreotors Miller, Martin and Fleming voted against the propostlon to estab-Hsh the fund and cancel all policies; Messrs BiiIUvmii McKlnney Slid Bay voted for It. Director Grefe was absent. Mr.

McKlnney said that In the future, as a member of the insurance he would refuse to indorse any policy ofl any company In which ths members of the board may be officers. "i am against, taking any Insurance at a higher rats when the Interested members of the board of that company are officers of Are insurance companies," he said, pointing a menacing finger, "ahd I want to say right hers that a a members of the Insurance committee I will not indorse any policy of any company If It is higher if ths members oil the board ara Interested members of tha company." Mr. Miller, a dissenting member of the board, argued that it was too great risk of public money Inveslsd In public buildings to allow tn nre insurance to lapse. He waa willing, he aald, to let the public vote at the next regular spring (Sleotlon on the question of placing Its fire Insurance on school buildings or establishing an interest bearing in surance fund. To this Mr.

McKlnney with his two seconds pointed to tha fact that within the past twenty yearn, with all of tne poor fire equipment, there had been but $4,160 recovered for firs fter an expendi ture of more than $60,000 for risks. The McKlnney side of the board will watch the placing of the Insurance within the next faw weeks, when a num ber of the policies will expire. The night schools for foreigners anl the daily employed will be established again this year. A school for foreigners will be established in tha Bremer chool In Bast Pes Moines, and a general night school and manual training school will established In tha Lincoln school building, Six new teachers were elected by the board last night.

PARIS, Oct. more optimistic feeling prevails In government circles today regarding the amicable adjustment of Franco-American tariff relations under the new law, as a result of the explana tlons furnished by Senator A'drich of Rhode Island during his talks last week with a number of the French ministers and other high government officials.

In the first place Mr. Aldrlch disabused the minds of the Frenchmen of the idea. entertained here, that the termination of the existing commercial agreement between France and the Vnited States, months in advance of the agreements with other countries, notably Germany, was In any way Intended aa a discrimination against Franc and secondly, and more important, ftenator Aldrlch relieved the anxiety In Paris concerning the inter pretation of section 2 of ths new law. This section the French believed Involved th automatic imposition of the American maximum unless France at forded avery minimum and every administrative concession in her tariff. As some of these concessions had been made after hard fought battles with other countries in return for speclfla advantages the government, in spite of its desire to avoid a tariff war, was hostile to the granting of wholesale concessions.

It is understood Senator Aldrlch ex pressed the opinion that, section 2 gave President Taft a certain measure of latt tude and that If Franca accorded the minimum rat on articles in which ths United States was principally Interested, Mr. Taft probably would consider that America was not unduly discriminated against within the meaning of th act. Senator Aldrlch, who is now in London, will return to Paris Thursday to attend a dinner which Minister of Finance Go-chery will give In honor of th senator and Ambassador Whit. WRIGHTS TABOO THE SHOW Ohio Aviators Say They Will Make So More ExliibUlon Flights. NEW YORK.

Oct. Unless some change of heart shall alter a decision announced today by Wilbur Wright, ths spectacular flight made her over the harbor and up the river yesterday vy the Dayton aviator la the last which he or his brother Orvllle will make In public. "Hereafter," said Mr. Wright on his return from an early morning visit to Governor's island, whither he had gnn to superintsnd tha taking part of Ills damaged aeroplane, shall devote all our efforts to the commercial exploitation ot our machines and only fly as a matter of experiment to test the value of whatever changes we decide to make hi their construction." Mr. Wright added that neltbcr'he nor his brother wished to looked upon as showmen and that all offers to fly for exhibition purposes would be rejected.

4 "The flight of yesterday," said he, "was mora than an exhibition. It was more like th taking un. of a challenge or th making ot a recofd to stand aa a milestone in the history of aerial navigation. I would have done better had not the blowing out of a cylinder of my machine prevented me from making a second flight, but, all things considered, I am satisfied with my performance of the morning."

noMKHTlG OfMWtHXrj a. Thomas Li mn L-l'-; w.LSJUSB NURSE LAW A HARDSHIP RAlrATES WHO FAILED TO REGISTER MUST TAKE EXAM. Those Who Have No Sheepskins, Rut Can Show Three Years' Training Need Not Re Examined. In amending the law regulating graduate nurses, the last legislature succeeded in workfng a great hardship on a large number of nurses in Iowa. Owing to the "present wording of the law graduate nurses with diplomas from an accredited training school, who failed to register prior to July 4, must take an ex amination, while those who have no diplomas but can show they attended an accredited training school for three years, nerd not be examined.

Heveral sisters from Mercy hosoltaJ at Pubunne called on Secretary Thomas of the state board of health yesterday to find out their exact standing. In looking up the matter Dr. Thomas discovered tne absurdity in the law. The old law provided that all graduate runes who are residents of the state and who have been engaged in the practlea of nursing prior to the passage of ths statute snoum tie granted a certmrate without examination upon the pavmtnt of a 15 registration fee. The Thirtyec-ond general assembly amended the law by repealing the foregoing provision and providing for the registration without examination of all nurses who have had live years training in a general hospital and can show that they were In attendance as students In the hospital for not less than three years.

The time for such registration ends Jan. 1, 1910, and graduate nurses who failed to register under tiie old law before the amended law went into effect must now take an examination. PERHAPS FOR ROOSEVELT Parsons Charges May Be Opening of Fight for Ex-Presiont. Washington Bureau of 1 The Register and Leader, WASHINGTON, D. Oct.

S. That Representative Herbert Parsons Charges that a deal was made with Tam many whereby the Cannon organisation was saved from defeat on the rulea of tne bouse Is the beginning of a great fight in New York for control of the state organisation by friends of Theodore Roosevelt is now freely alleged, hers and in New 'ork: Viewed in this light. Parsons' charges and his attitude are even more sensational than they seemed to tx at first In many quarters, it is believed that Parsons, who has always been a Roose velt man, has set out to wrest control of the New York republican state convention next year from those upstate leaders who now control it and who are pro-Cannon and antl-Roosevelt. The question asked on every band Is whether Parsors Is not In reality beginlng a great movement which will be made to force renoml-nation of Roosevelt In 1912. Since President Taft came into offlcs Parsons, who is tho head of the New l'ork county committee, has got little recognition from the White house.

Roorevelt freely consulted him. President Taft appointed William Wll-lams Immigration commissioner at New York without consulting Parsons and this led to speculation whether those men who were close to Roosevelt were to be thrust into the background. It Is whlsDered about that Parsons and bis followers are looking for Interesting doings when Rooaewelt gets back from Africa. For the present. It is expected Parsons will line up mdth Governor Hughes against tbe upstate bosses.

IBS correct the abuses which had crept in to the transportation system of our country; so that today substantially au men. under similar condition, receive equal treatment, and under the operation of economic forces tho average charge for carrying the products of this country on tlie railroads is 7 mills per ton per mile, which is less than half the charge for transportation In any other country of the world.

With reference to the resolution intro duced last winter by Champ Clark, providing for the appointment of fifteen men on the house committee on rules, the speaker guve his hearers his own view of the situation as it presented Itself.

This, the declared. Is a democratic doctrine, and he contended that Foss "wouldn't havp done us nearly as much harm as he has if he hadn't run twice on our ticket for congress.

"I might talk fo you for six months about tlie tariff schedules," continued the speaker, "and then you wouldn't understand what I was talking about. Though what I don't know about the tarlfT would fill a library I know more by far than do those newspaper editors who cuss It and damn It from early morn till dewy eve." Mr. Cannon declared that President Taft's Winona speech was not a defense of the men who voted for tho Payne tariff bill, but to support them. They need no defense, he declared. Referring to Senator Cummins the speaker declared that he spoke not In anger but in sorrow.

He read from the peech whi! Mr. Cummins made shortly before tho "close of the speclsl session, in which he declared that he could not vote for the Payne, representing, as it did, the thlnga against which he hasY fought for years. "Klther Senator Cummins and his asso ciates," he said, "practically join hands with Bryan I say practically, I don't say he is a Bryan man if they continue the agitation against the law which is now in effect and which has the indorsement of William Howard Taft, the people must either indorse the seven republican senators who voted with the minority, or they must indorse the stst-ute which received the votes of a majority of the republicans and the signature of the republican president." The address closed with a glowing tribute to Congressman Hull and praise of his work in congress. The speaker declared that If he were a resident of the Sevenlh district of Jowa he would spare no effort to return Mr. Hull to congress every second year as long as ho may live.
