1905 DAILY EDITION More High Finance: Mr. Walsh Borrowed Too much Money AND 3 BANKS IN CHICAGO GO UP CLOSED BY THE COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY Clearing House Association Prevents a Panic--Liabilities $26,000.000, Assets About $20,000,000. Chicago, Dec. Chicago National Bank, the Home Savings Bank and Equitable Trust Co. have failed, but the depositors will be protected in full by the banks of the Chicago Clearing House Association.

The cause is said to be the involving of their assets in their railway and coal properties of John R. Walsh, the president of the Chicago National Bank. These three institutions will quit business in Chicago. Comptroller of the Currency Ridgeley says the action of the clearing house banks has relieved a most critical situation, which, if it had not been taken promptly might had led to very serious consequences. He says the failed banks had been warned to reduce their loans to Walsh's corporation, but it was not done and the comptroller was compelled to take drastic action.

He came to Chicago and had a conference with the state authorities and clearing house committee, which lasted from 10 Sunday morning till 5 Monday morning. He feels great credit is due the clearing bouse banks for the broad minded spirit shown in this emergency. In the meeting of the bankers it was shown that the labilities of the three institutions amount to twenty-six millions, and the assets to $20,000,000. The directors and officials of the Chicago National Bank produced securities worth $3,000,000 and the other $3,000,000 was pledged by anied banks, which agreed to take over all Mr. Walsh's private enterprises.

Great crowds gathered before both the banks, awaiting an opening of the doors. Ample arrangements were made to pay all as fast as possible. Extra paying tellers had been employed. Among the enterprises of Mr. Walsh are the Bedford quarries of Indiana, and the South Indiana R.

R. built to convey stone from the quarries. He is also a heavy stockholder in the Akron, Ohio Gas the Illinois Southern R. the Rand, McNally the Southern Indiana Express and in a half score of gas, electric lighting and coal mining companies.

SQUIRE TOOPS SPOKE HIS MIND AND HE SPOKE TILL THE MEETIN' DISBANDED The community around Denver, in Huntington township, were much stirred up on Sunday by a church scandal and to-day several of the members of the Christian Union church, of that village are in town threatening to arrest several for the trouble that was caused there. It seems that as the service Sunday morning was proceeding in its usual way, 'Squire C. C. Toops, an ex-justice of the peace, and a self ordained preacher proceeded to try and make trouble by getting up during the service and doing all the preaching himself. He would not let the preacher nor any one else talk, and proceeded to DEAF MUTE FINDS HIS VOICE, UNDER CORPORAL PUNISHMENT, GIVEN AT POLICE STATION Was Working Sympathy Racket To Collect Coin and Doing Some Sneakthief Side Which Won Him Six Months in the Workhouse.

on Acting the Probably the entire business section and the greater part of the residence quarter of the city was visited last Friday and Saturday by a "poor deaf and dumb Well, he was another fake. Business was good in this city, and Saturday morning the poor man began to stop rather frequently at some of the liquor emporiums. He imbibed a little too freely and then was not a bit backward about telling some of those in a Paint street saloon that he bad been working a good "gag" on the people of this town. He was run out of the saloon and the police notified. The officers at once got on his trail.

They learned that he had taken off his shoes and was walking about in the snow begging for enough money to get another pair. He would put about eighty cents in his open hand and then make signs that he only needed a little more to buy some shoes. It was near the depot that Officer Weigand found him. The young fellow saw the officer coming and prepared. Just as Wegand came within reach he dropped his money in front of him in the snow.

He figured that the officer would reach over to pick up the money and then he would lose him in a merry chase. But Weigand was too good a man for that. Instead of stooping for the money he reached for the man and brought him to the station. The beggar was evidently not yet aware that the officers knew he could talk, for when they arrived at the station he refused to speak and tried to play deaf and dumb yet. Knowing that he was able to talk, the officers handed him one or two stiff jabs on either side of the head, and then he suddenly loosened up, telling them that it was "All He gave the name of Harry Williams, of Washington D.

C. He said that his age was only eighteen, but he is, to all appearances, at least twenty-one. Williams got a bit of money from most of the business houses in the city and realized that he had an easy game. Besides collecting considerable money in this way, it was learned that the fellow was a regular thief. He stole a pair of Walkeover shoes from in front of Hermanns' and sold them to a countryman for a dollar.

Another pair he picked up from in front of Brandle's proved to be samples which were not mates, and these he left in the Penny Store. He had three dollars and some change left when arrested. One of his other crooked moves was made Saturday morning. He walked into the shoe store of Miller Co. to beg, as usual, and in walking out picked up a box of shoes.

One can imagine his surprise when he opened the box and found them to be baby's shoes of a very small pattern. He went on down the street to the residence of Captain Esker on East Fourth street, and slipping into the house he entered the SAUSAGES AND EGGS PROVED TOO STRONG TEMPTATION FOR TWEED Henry Tweed, an inmate of the county infirmary was this morning sentenced eo the Cincinnati work house for thirty days and fined $10, for driving a horse belonging to that institution at all hours of the night and at various times. It seems that Tweed who has been in the institution for some time, had gotten into the habit of appropriatIng sausages and eggs from the pantry andd riving into town with them in one of the buggis belonging out there. He would then stop at various saloons and trade off the produce for whiskey with which he would acquire wonderful and fearful jags and return with them to the Infirmary. Superintendent Sharp noticed tha a good deal of food was missing and that one of the buggies would show signs of having been used and started an investigation, which developed as above mentioned.

Tweed was brought before Judge Robins this morning, on two charges stealing and using the buggy contrary the rules of the infirmary. He consented to guilty to the latter if the first was withplead drawn, which he did and was sentenced as above mentioned. WINDING UP BUSINESS OF THE COURT FOR THE PRESENT TERM Judge Wiggins, was to have taken up the trial of the equity cases this morning, but both of the cases for to-day were passed. One however the Schwaerzler case was argued before the court upon the question of whether or not it was a case to be heard by the court or by the jury. If Judge Wiggins decides it should be heard by the court it will be set down for hearing the drst week in January.

The case of Lincoln D. McCoy vs. Milton McCoy et. al was re-assigned until that time. CASE SETTLED.

The suit for alimony filed by Sarah Cockrell against her husband Thomas Cockrell, was settled and dismissed this morning. The report which was brought in the day the question of temporary alimony was being argued before Judge Wiggins was only too true and the parties are now living together once more in peace and happiness.

Esker's sister lies, an invalid, and flourished a big knife. He evidently only meant this for a bluff, since he slipped out again and left the baby's shoes behind. In talking to a Gazette representative Williams claimed to be a printer, and his conversation proved that he has had a good education. He is one of the common rovers of the country, only he lives off his wits and the kind hearts of the people instead of by work. He was rather anxious as to what charge would be preferred against him and how long he might have to stay in but jail, freely admitted that he was in for it, since he had been doing something clearly unlawful.

When it was suggested that winter in the work house with a Christmas dinner in sight was not so bad, Williams replied that he would far rather be out. He repeated his chief complaint that he would have to work so hard if sent to Cincinnati. He would have probably been able to buy a fine Christmas dinner on the outside if he had not been arrested. Williams said that he came to this in city from Catlettsburg and had Portsmouth, but for a few stopped hours cnly. When asked why he sold his too shoes, tight, he said it was because they were and then laughed.

This morning when taken before Mayor Yaple, Wililams admitted his guilt and was fined $100 and costs and given 30 days in the work house. The sentence will keep him in he work house for about six or seven months. E. U. WIEDLER CAMP U.S.

The members of the church tried to put him out by peaceful means, but as he would not go, so the service was stopped, but it was one o'clock, 60 one of the members stated, before he finally left the church and it could be closed.

In the evening "Rev." Toops was on band once more and no sooner did the services start than he began to preach, telling the congregation to get on his wagon, as it was headed straight for heaven, and all the others were thieves, liars, fools, ete. When the preacher tried to pray, groans interrupted the exhorter. At last the congregation could stand it no longer, and they tried to put out the lights so that the would end. This the self-established preacher forbade and kept them from doing also. The congregational finally departed and left him to preach to empty benches.

To-day several members of the congregation are in town obtaining legal advice upon what is best to do. The preacher is also here to keep track of what is doing. No arrests had been made this afternoon, but about two o'clock, as several of the members of the church were standing on the corner consulting about what to do, "Rev." Toops walked up and began to talk some more. It did not last long, however, for the members moved away. Death of Mr.
