Once to-day Walker was almost
ready to quit the prison. He had been

taken to him by his brother-in-law.
Judge John N. Coats, were ready to be

othcal was co'isidering placing him on
trial aguin. "It's none of bi| busine-?.

rarol? Hoard and he can't keep me In
jail forever."
That i? also the attitude of the
Tar?le Hoard, which throus.-}? its presi?
dent. Colonel Norria J. Osborn. of New
Haven, this afternoon questioned Mr.
Alcorn's right to prosecute the four?
teen charge? of forgery still hanging
over Walker. These will not be out?
lawed for thirteen years.
"It is really none of Mr. AJcorn'i

Walker served the minimum sentence
of one year imposed by the court. Af?
ter that the disposition of the ease
rest? in the custodv of the state until
he completes hu ?entonce of twenty

sentence impos? ij baa been fulfilled."
Mr. Alcorn refused to comment on
this declaration.
"I havf> not changed my mind since
I urged the DOB! I release thll

stand by now."
Applauded for his Protest.
Mr. Alcorn to-day received a flood of
letters from all parts of the state ap?
plauding him for his objection to Walk?

persons la all walks of life, including
? r? and officer? of fiduciarv
tutlons.
"You have hoard the charge that
Walker has a large part of his loot
hidden away?" Mr. Alcorn aras a?k?d.
"Is that true ?"
"So far as I know it is." said the
prostcutor "We have never obtained
trace of but $112,000 in bond?, put up
a? collateral for a 170,000 lo-.n. To

PEACE CRUSADE
LEAVES N. Y. TO-DAY
Continued from nn?a I
to be expected. Ridicule is the fa?
vorite weapon of thote who detire to
oppose any movement when they '"irid
ti.emtelves unable to support their op
p isition with arKumcnt. If any of the
person? on the Ark had been making
money out of the flood, they probably
would have ridiculed Noah for ?ending
ou: the dove. .Sueco?? to Mr. Ford and
hi i companion?. May they return with
an olive leaf."
The lagt day of preparation wa? nat?
urally buay at the Ford headquarters.
Dove? from distant ne?ta were arriving
in great flock? and demanding paes
portt, roomt and butht, meal ticket*
and general Information. Other dovei,
uninvited but determined to aid the
freut, peace movement, were fluttering
rom one office to another in bootless
attempts to imprest upon the expedi?
tion the importance of adding their
names to the ro?ter.
Dr. Aked Blocked.
Hardly a train atarted for Washing
ten which did not have as a passenger j
cne of the Ford employes, carrying a
bale of applications for passport?. The
long dlitance wire from the Biltmore
to Weahington wa? kept open almott
contlnuoutly. Freth from the telephone
one of the under pre?? Bgent? darted
into the corridor and announced
breathlesaly:
"Great! The State Department 1?
going to keep open until midnight for
us. Fine!"
Then off he flitted. Neither he nor
any of hi? kind were on the horizon
when the Rev. Dr. Charle? F. Aked,
lately pastor of John D. Rockefeller'?
Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, and more
recently of San Francisco, appeared.
The doorma.i blocked him.
"A minute! ' ?napped the doorman.
"What'? your butine???"
"I'm Dr. Aked."
"I get you, iure," said the guardian
of the gate, "Now, who't Dr. Aked?"
The clergyman raised hi? voice.
"I have told you my name," he re?
minded. "What arrangements have
been made for met"
"None."
"Then," taid Dr. Aked, "you may in?
form Mr. Ford I ?hall not be in his
aarty."
Louis P, Lochner, major -lomo at
headquarter?, caught a glimpse of the ;
retreating Dr. Aked, overtook hin and
apologized profusely. Tho rlergyma*1
listened and changed his m.inl. Dr
Aked said he lr.t'-nd'-d while i.bro*d | i
make a aide trip to his family in Eng?
land.
Dr. Aked Plan? Side Trip.
"When 1 got Mr. Ft.rd'a Invitation

committee ?elected Dr. Edward Dwight,
Eator, of Beloit ('ollege, to till the pul- ,

travel-stained young man from the

rhe last messenger left for Washing?
ton with application? for passports or.
the 6:35 train."
Mr. Tringle, of Kansas, glanced a.

"But it'? only 5:10 now," he cried,
hopefully. "My application'? all mail,
nut? photographs und everything."
"You're too late," insisted tho
apoDtle. "I ought to know. Besides
1 meant it wa? the 4:35 the last mes?
senger went on."
I'ringle and many others were told
that if they wanted to be war atooper? ;
they could go on another boat than

"Then why are you going on the

"Oh," laughed the Governor, "Mr.
Ford wa? kind enough to invite me, and
I happened to have the time to spare.
I've ?een Europe in times of peace, and
I've been wondering what it looked like

Board of Agriculture decreed him cham?
pion, bestowed upon him $23 in prize
money and gave him a free trip to
'-he East on the Buckeye Corn Special
Tour with 23? other boy? and girls -
prize winnera all?who had made three
bushel? of corn grow where one grew
before. The average yield in Ohio is
forty buthel? to the acre. None of the
youthful farmert who reached New
York yesterday grew lets than 124
bushel? to the acre.
With their number ?welled to 577 by
parent? and. relative?, the corn cham?
pion and his runner?-up. having dona
Viathington in two day? and Philadel?
phia la one, arrived in New York early
I yesterday morning, intent on doing or
being done up by thi? city in their
eighteen ?hort hour?. At 6, when only
milkmen, policomen and Ohio farmers
were out of bed, they disembarked
from three ?pecial train? which had
brought them to the Penn?ylvania ?U
' tion and paraded to the Waldorf for
breakfast.
The fact that they had not ?lum?
bered until the trains pulled out of
Philadelphia, at 1 o'clock, had no ef?
fect on the ?pint? of the pilgrim?, who
ranged in age from one ?mall boy of
six to the eighty-one years carried by
G. G. Thomas, of New Carlisle, whose
patriarchal beard rippled far down on
hi? che?t as he stepped along with the
light ?pringy stride of a lad of twenty.
Ladle*' Band Leads.
At the head of the procession walked
T. P. Riddle, director of the Bureau of
Junior Contest?, and guide, philoso?
pher, fritad,emergency physician,street
directory and information bureau to
six hundred Ohioan? far from home.
Marshalling the parade were the west-1
em agont? of the Pennsylvania Rail- ?
road, on whote ?houlders had fallen !
the burden for arranging detail? of the
entire tour. Their eyes were red from ,
> lack of sleep.
No mon, woman or child but carried ?
' a banner of yellow and blue attached to
B cornstalk and blazoned with the
words "Buckeye Corn Special." Mo?t '
I of them also wore yellow badge? from
I which wore suspended horse chestnuts.
I or "buckeye?," and which bore the ?ur- ?
prising meteorological information that |
the rainbow comen down in Ohio."
At the head of the procession marched
the Marion Ladies' Band, clad in hus- j
sar- Ohio pronunciation, "hoosier" - ]
I uniforms of blue velvet, with gold lace,
and wnking the early morning echoe?
with a quickstep.
After breakfast at the Waldorf,
where amazed waiters debated on
I whether thla could be an after ?upper ?
I party, the com planter? and their rela?
tive? were marshalled by the passenger |
agent? of the Pennsylvania into two |
?pecial subway train? and headed for '
The Bronx The Scioto Valley Farmer
Boy?' Band headed the procession thi? 1
time. To the outsider their music was
intpiring, but "Darn that tune!" ?aid
one pilgrim aggrievedly. "They've
played that thing over and over ever
aince we started. I kick all the cover?
off marching to it in my sleep."
At the Zoological Pari*, the elephant?
received the greatest popular apprecia?
tion. Whether it was the Western love
o? bignest or the practiced eye of the
producer detecting in them unlimited
power? of contumptlon la not known.
After all the light? and amells of the
zoo had been sampled the parado
tiooped back to the subway and headed
for the Battery.
There, with tteam up, lay the good
ehip Bronx of the municipal ferry' l'ne
to Staten Itland. Through the cour?
tesy of R. A. C. Smith, Commissioner
of Dock? and Ferries, ?he had been
loaned to the Chamber of Commerce,
who were to be the hosts of the touring
farmert on a trip about the bay.
After a short visit to the Aquarium
the Ohioan? trooped aboard and ?ought
?eat? with a ?lgh of relief, their minds
filled with viaion? of strange beaats.
Box luncheon? were provided by the
entertainment committee, Marcus H.
Tracy, Fred B. Dalzel!, Edward K.
Crook. Elihu C. Church and Charles T.
Gwynne.
Picnic on Ferryboat.
The ?tald interior of the ferryboat
took upon ltaelf the appearance of a
Sunday ?chool plcnio as the farmer
folk sat together, boxes on lap?, sip?
ping White Rock with a rakish air.
The cabin? echoed to a tpeech alien to
the accuetomed cargoet of commuters,
natal with Ra than rolled like a snare
drum.
From the Battery the boat proceeded
up the Eatt River at far as Manhattan
Bridge. Most of the Middle Western
era caught their flrat glimpse of a
warship as they passed the navy yard.
They then ?teamed down the bay as far
a? Coney Island Point, and, turning,
skirted the shore of Staten island,
finally disembarking at Forty-?econd
Street.
"I think Liberty impresse? me most,"
?aid Champion Hanes, a fresh faced,
pleasant lad, with an almost ahy man?
ner. "I like New York, but 111 be
glad to get back to Arcanum."
Flaxen-haired, apple cheeked Leelo
Jenes, the girl champion, preaumed
from the height of her fourteen years
to ?peak weightily upon New York
men.
"They are too much in a hurry," ?he
?aid teriouily. "I like Ohio folk? bet?
ter. New York la too big, and 111 be
glad to get back to high uehool."
Disembarking from the longest water
joumev many of them had ever taken,
the gallant 677 marched across Forty
second 8tre*t with the Ladies' Band
tcoting proudly in advance and Invaded
the Hotel A?tor, where thev were to re?
main until dinner time unie?? they
wanted to do ?ome "trading," which
unenlightened Easterners call ?hop?
ping.
For the honor of Ohio, the ladie?
continued to discourse sweet harmony
even when pa??mg one by one through
a revolving door. The effect produced
wa? remarkable to those who were
seated about the lobby It was not
until an elevator had carried the last
' Buckeye uniform upward that the
music cea?ed.
The Chamber of Commerce enter
i tamed the Ohioan? at dinner at the
A?tor last nicht, and afterward took
them to the Hippodrome.

TYPHUS RAVAGES
MEXICO'S^ CAPITAL
11,000 Persons Stricken
Deaths Exceed 130 a Day.
Mexico C.ty, Nov. 29 (via Leredo,
Tex., Dec. 8). Typhus fever, which has
been prevalent among the lower classes
in Mexico C/ty and vicinity for the last
two months, ha? grown to such alarm?
ing proportions a? to terrify the entire
population. The death rute from this
disease alone now exceeds 130 a day
t and the number of cases is constantly
growing. It is estimated that there
are 11,000 cases in the Federal district
and neighboring towns.
The authorities seem unable to cope
with the situation and some of the
large mining companies have received
permission to take steps to clean up
tho towns in their vicinities, a? the
disease threatens to decimate the pop?
ulation and leave them without work?
men.
In Mexico City tho authorities ara
keeping the real situation from the
nubile as much as possible. They ?
have forbidden the local nren? ts tell
tks truth. All of the funeral cor- j
teges of tho City of Mexico are drawn ,
by the tramway company.
So great has the demand become on ,
the streetcar system due to the deaths \
caused by the epidemic the funeral !
trains are run all night long.
The ?upply of grave digger? is not
(sufficient to meet the demand, and ,
bodies very often have to lie in the
open for a considerable length before
being buried.
Bs far tho foreign colonies have
not suffered severely, though a num?
ber of cases of the disease have been
reported in the American colony in the
last two days.
