Wal- formerly chief éngineer of the Panama canal, was the chief speaker at the banquet ©of the Illinois Manufac- turers’ Assoclation tonight. He chose for hie subject “Some Phases of the Panama Problem.” Wallace sald that the British raiiroad across the isthmus of Teluantepec, 178 railes, would in future anticipate in & {large measure the benefits of the con- | struction of the Paneama canal and give immediate results pending ifs accom- plishment, with a strong probability of being able to retain the trade ‘if once secured. o ! *“This railroad,” said Wallace, “is being " | constructed in a most substantial man- {ner. Modern machinery and methods will enable the rallrcad to conduct a profit- able business at a8 rate of not to exceed $2 a ton from ship bold to ship hold, and the time from ship to ship will not ex- ceed an average of twe days. - “The advantages of Tehuanteépec over the Suez and Penama routes in the sav- ing of money and time make it seif-evi- dent that in the years that will elapsé be- foré the completion of the Panama. canal our British cousins will undoubtedly-build up a large and profitable business, which it will be difficult thereafter to divert back to the Panama route. The remedy lles in the immediate provision at Panama for the proper facilities and eguipment for the development of the maximum ef- ficlency of -the Panama railroad and the putting in of a fiat rate of not more than | 32 a ton, and possibly as low as $L50, in order to prevent lines from diverting traf- fic'from that route and to emcourage and expand the traffic tributary to it.”” :\ Wallace controverted the assertion that the transcontinental - raliway - lines are working to delay or to defeat the eomple- tion of the Panama canal.

The principal-blage was at- Pico and Figueroa streets, where the Phelps lumber yards and Clarke’s feed stable. were completely destroyed, with a loss of $10,000, partly covered by insurance. An- other fire shortly afterward, a few blocks distant on Pico street, did small damage. The other three blazes were of small im- portance and widely scattered. The first fire was shortly after 7 o'clock, and the last about midnight. They are belleved to be the work of burglars who start fires to cause confusion and enable them to commit -depredations.

Don’'t you think T know him? ‘We do not tell any one because it is not our business.” Orehard, then, evidently was the agent of ‘thé “inner. circle” about: whose work he. confessed. His description of detail about the crime was s0 accurate that sus- picion would naturally point to him with- out any évidence to back it up. It is sup- posed, however, that he had a compan- ion who was dogsing. the tracks of Brad- ley, and that.the pair of them placed the bomb in position. Orchard must have re- turned to learn the conditlon of Bradley. It came to light yestéerday that Bradley himself feared at the time that an at- tempt had heen made upon his life. He was, howevér, persuaded that such a thing was impossible. His friends argued him out of the bellef. Still, for months be was always on his guard, for he su pected that he was a marked man. A peculiar feature of the case is the fact that Walter H. Linforth, the owner of the injured flats, sued the' San Fran- cisco Gas and Electric Company and was awarded $10,800 damages. The gas com- pany appealed on the ground of errors committed, and the motion is now pend- ing. Linforth claims that the bomb story is preposterous, and that even if it is found to be true he can collect the money from the gas company because the appeal was not taken on ‘‘new grounds.” He points to & hole found three weeks later in the gas meter as the cause of the ex- Dplgsion, At Attorney Samuel Knight, who tried the | cage for the gas company, says that he| has always -believed that the explosion was due to some other means than gas, but that he could never advance a theory. “The confession of Orchard explains - it all" he said yesterday. ‘“You will re- member that two or three of the wit- nesses in the trial stated that the explo- slon sounded as if a bomb had been fired.” : The story of the attempted murder of Bradley by representatives of the “inner circle,” as published exclusively in The Call yesterday morning, arouseéd great Ixfterest in this city and among the Mid- dle-West States.

Said to Have Diverte $3,000,000 From Proper Channels. Government Also Cfaimé That ~He Certified to False Repprt.s._ CHICAGO, March.2—John B. Walsh, rated until’ recently as a multi-million- aire, and president of the deéfunct Chicago National Bank, which.closed its doors on December -18, 1305, was today takén into custofly ‘on a -Fedéral warrant which | charges him with ‘violation of the na- | tional banking laws in making false re- turns to the Comptroller of the Currency, and also asserts that he converted to his own use without proper authotity funds of the bank ameunting te $3,000,000. He was-released aftér giving honds of $50,000. The complaint allegés in spécific terms that on November 18, 1905, the Chicago Natiopal Bank transmitteéd.to the Comp- troller of the Currency a statement of the || financial condition of the bank at the ’| close of business on November 9. In this statement “‘the: said John R. Walsh un- lawfully made certain faise entries to the effect that at the close of business on November 9 the amount of loans and dis- counts of the said banking' association, on which the officers and directors there- of were- then liable either as payer or Indorser, was $45,000, whereas in truth the amount of such loans and discounts was $3,000,000, and another faise entry to the effect that the amount of loans and dis- counts -of the said association on which the officers. and directors were not liable as payers or Indorsers was - $10,658,296, whereas in truth the amount of such loans and discounts on which officers and directors were pot liable was much small- er, pamely, $7,600,000.” ARREST FOLLOWS INQUIRY. Another section of the complaint al- leges that Walsh had in his possession funds and money of the bank amounting to $3,000,000 with intent to injure and de- fraud the bank. The $3,000,000 mentioned in this section of the complaint is, how- ever, identical with the amount specified as being loaned to officers of the bank. It is furthér alleged that John R. Walsh and Johm M. Smyth and Willlam Best, directors of the bank, “and other persons too numerous to_mention,” unlawfully misapplied this money by converting it to the personal and private use of John R. Walsh without any proper authority whatever. The arrest of Walsh came as the direct result of the last examination of the books " of the Chicago National Bank made by Speclal Bank Examiner Arthur L. Curry, sent to Chicago from Washing- ton, The data furnished the Treasury Department in Washington was senf to District Attorney Morrigon in this city, with instructions to take the proper steps.

This was: granted and twice more the friends of Walsh asked and obtained a brief respité,. A short time after 2 o'clock, however, Deputy Marshal Middleton re- fused to walt for a longer time and"took Walsh to.the office: of United States Mar- shal Ames. ALLOWED MUCH TIME. All of the ‘doors leading to the private | office of Marshal Ames were locked and all attaches. of his. office and those of District Attorney Morrison were instruc ed to say nothing concerning the arres Marehal- Ames declared that so far as he knew nothing had been done. in the ‘Walsh matter and District' Attorney Mor- rison expressed himself in the same manner. After remaining in the offics of Mar- shal Ames for two hours Walsh was re- leased under bonds furhished by the-Illi- nols Surety Company. After being re- leased on bail Walsh made the following statement: & “The charge, in éffect, is that as presi- dent of the bank I signed a report to the /Comptrolier, which réport it is now al- leged was false. The report in question would ordjnarily have been signed by the cashier, but. by reason of his temporary absence it was signed- by me as a mat- ter of course. The report réferred to, however, was undoubtedly correct. These facts will ' be clearly established by the evidence if the case reaches a state when evidence -is- produced. I belleve, however, that a more thorough investigation of the facts by the Department of Justice and a comparison of the report with the books of the bank will convince the Department of Justice that its position is uncalled for and cannot be sustained. “Any inference that might be drawn from the cemplaint that there has been any misappropriation of funds in any way is absolutely false.” The ‘preliminary hearing of Walsh be- |. fore United States Commissioner Foote ‘was set for March 10 at 10 a. ————————— .
