A STORY OF IS TOLD TO THE JURY IN JOHN R. WALSH'S CASE. USED THE MONEY OF BANKS To Obtain for Himself the Ownership of Various Properties, Giving, It Is Alleged, Worthless Bonds as Security. Chicago, Nov. 14. Tho trial of John R. Walsh, formerly piesMent of the Chlcagb national bank, now defunct, on u charge of misuse of the funds of that Institution, foimally opened Wed nesday. The jury was completed and Assistant District Attorney Fletcher Dobynrf, r the opening of the after noon session, began the preliminary statement In behalf of the government. It Is expected that Miv Dobns will not conclude until late to-day. Tho go eminent will attempt to show that Walsh took from tho Chi cago national bank, tho Equitable Trust Co. and tho Home Savings' bank $14,000,000. Dobyns declared that Walsh obtained the ow net ship of wtrl ois large properties without cost to himself by using the funds of tho banks. Ho said: "Watered stock to tho probable amount of $25,000,000 or ?C0, 000,000 was Issued. .Mr. Walsh, thtough his empIoes, voted the stock to him self. Ho then sold this stock to tho banks, taking tho money to build tin bis private enterprises. All of tne' stock so sold by Mr. Walsh was prac' tlcaliy valueless). It was tho practice of ;tr' Walsh to make loans to one of his companies and then sell tho bonds oNthat company to tha bank. These bonds were practically worthless." Tho assistant district attorney stat ed to the jury that Mr. Walsh bad in duced various persons to sign "accom modation" notes for tho bank. "Then," saW,Pob)ns,"ho signed tho names of people to notes, uugcks were ninilo nut papablo to bearer, and credited to thp pOrbonal account of Mr. Walsh. "Donds were mado out to tho same 'dummies' whose names were on tho notes and credits were mado to Mr. Walsh's account. "In 1003 Mr. Walsh was told by tho bank examiner that tho Chicago na tional bank was being loaded down with the securities of Mr. Walsh's per sonal entei prises. Tho examiner ot dercd'hlm to take theso securities otif, und Mr. Walsh promised to do so. "lu 1004 the bank was found In tho samo condition, tho warning was re peated and Mr. Walsh again promised to remove the securities. Another examination show ed that the bank was lu a worse condition than ever und It was then ordered closed. "Tho government will show that Walsh's method was to buy from him self, fix his own price and put tho money In his pocket," At) an Illustration of Walsh's alleged procedure In finance, the assistant dis trict attorney cited tho Southern In diana Railroad. Co., reviewing Its his tory up to the time Walsh purchased it for $17G,000. "Ho had Issued to himself," Dobyns said, "$300,00r In bonds nt tho oiy tlmo it wus organized, and those bonds had no value. He put thorn Into the Equitable Trust Co., sr.llng them at par, then issued another 100,000 ot bonds and sold them at par. "He took money from tlmo to tlmo from the" Chicago national bank and from tho Equitable Tiust Co. to U velop this property, depositing worth less bonds until ho had deposited with tho former $300,000 and with tho latter toqo.ooo."

A chaiter of William the Lion, as early as the twelfth cen tury, mentions their Scotch name ot Tinklers, w hlch Is commonly supposed to be'u coirupllon of tinker, although possibly tho substitution ot "I" for "t" has produced this form of the Hat lah Zlngaro, ono of the most "wlde spread of gipsy appellations.

Taxation' to Be Theme ef Discus sion Stories of Politics and Pollil clans. Columbus, (Special.) Tho next' year will glvo Ohio another taBte of "annual sessions" ot the' legislature. It was not bo long ago that tho stato legislature met regularly, necently biennial Bostons have been tho rule. There will be a session In. 1908 and another in 1009', because of tho recent KcpaiAtlon of state and local elec tions. Tho legislature that met two jears ago will meet again this coming winter that Is, the personnel will bo the same. . It Is likely that the subject of taxa tion will bo one of tho loading matters under discussion, both nt the 1903 ses sion and 1909. The legislature will be asked to allow the people to vote upon nn amendment to the constitution which will tiermlt'of tho classification oKpiopcity for taxation. Of course, that will bo thoroughly threshed out this winter and then, If 'it Is submit ted nnd ndoptcd, the riext legislature will enact laws under tho amendment. Taxation, of course, Is simply a mat ter of getting revenues to pay the ex penses of townships, cities, counties nnd stnte. And It Is tho "revenue" proposition that will prove "n stumb ling block. Just now thero is no" call for Increased revenues, mciely a re adjustment of affairs, a more, equit able plan ot assessment and collection. The state treasury now has a big cash balance but the legislators can put a hole In that In aVirry if they are per mitted to do ho. Governor Harris and tho other state officers aro already worried about that balance. Cash on hand Invites a raid on the Treasury, and to protect that bal anco will give the.stato officers plenty to do this winter. 'Almost o very v mem ber of the legislature lias some scheme that will .require the expenditure ot money or the lessening of revenues. Jinny want new state Institutions; othV era want additional state departments; some want taxes reduced, and othera propose bills which will makey such changes in the existing order of things that ttie taxpayers will quickly feel tho effects. Tho governor Is worried about the finances of tho state. At the legisla tive reunion he discussed this feature o'Jtls administrative cnies.
