Senator Millard, who leave the very Im
IMirtant committee ot Interstato commerce
to take a position on public buildings and
grounds, said today in explanation of his
action: "When 1 was insured that 1 would
iHtconie chairman of interoceanlc canals I
recognized that an enormous amount of
work was In front of me. With the J'au
ama canal uppermost In the minds f the
people, probably on a par with railroad
rate legislation, I realized the folly of
my attejnptlng to gve to Interstate com
merce and interoceanlc canals tho same
attention; it would be physically impos
sible, and so I decided to leave Interstato
commerce for public buildings and grounds.
I have gone through with the hearings on
the railroad rule question. I have devoted
tlmn and study to the subject and. I be
lieve I am Just a competent to legislate
on this question on 4hc floor as I would
lie on the commute.' As for public build
ings and grounds. 1 feel sure that If any
public building bill Is passed Nebraska
will have fair treatment now that t am
oa that committee. Thcre Is nothing sensa
tional about HIV- vliawgliiK J'lac.es. with

IURT0N LIFT OFF AT OWN REQUEST
Mr. Halley ( ttnald Re I wder
stood that Senate la e flare
to Make Money III
hnneatl .
. WASHINtiToN. . Dec. Is. Whether the
senate Is warranted in Ignoring a senator
copvictcd In the. courts on charges of mis
conduct and in not assigning him to places
tin standing vmpmliteea yet leaving his
panic on the stnato, roll were discussed
for two hours .today .and then dropped
without a ruling on the question. Several
senate leaders, tuoli, up the subject. On
account of th., delicacy of the question the
debute was naturally not as open as would
lie necessary for final ib termination of the
matter. Mr. Bailey raised the point of
inquiring of Mr. Hale when tho latter pre
sented the new list of standing commit
tee! whither every senator ha1 been pro
vided with a place. Mr. Hule resiionded
that every senator except Mr, Uurton of
Kansas had been given assignments and
that he had been left off the committees at
hi own request until the charges against
him had been disposed of.
Mr. Bally protested any senator's tiama
being kept on the roll unless he was given
work to do and argued that It I the duty
of the senate to itself, to Kansas and to
the country to investigate tho charges
against Mr. Uurton and determine whether
he is entitled to a seat in the senate.
Follow Rrlliau Precedent.
In response several senators called at
tention to the fact that congress Is fol
lowing the precedent established by th
English 1'arllamcnt In not taking cogni
zance of charges against a member until
the charges had been determined in the
courts. Messrs. Hale., Spooner, ljidgc. and
Daniel were of this opinion. Mr, Bailey,
calling attention to the fact that there
had been Ave senators Indicted In the last
ten years, all on charges implying that
crimes had been committed for money,
said the time had arrived when the senate
should testify that this is "no place to
conic to make money dishonestly."
He complained that senators who behave
themselves were compelled to suffer for
those who do not, through being subjected
to ridicule and jests.
Counselling the philosophy of thu stoics
against attacks on the senate as u, body,
Mr. Liunicl suld that any person who
would originate n plan to protect the sen
ate against a riliald Jest would be hailed
as the greatest Inventor of the age. He
did not think the senate suffered by un
justifiable attacks by irresponsible persons.
Mr. Teller del ended the lato Senutor Mitch
ell, saying that It would take more than
the word of a "self-convicted thief, per
jurer and fofjrer" to convince him thai
Mr. Mitchell hud committed a crime.

WASHINGTON, Doc. Vi. Iusurance,
hazing, the suffering Russian Jews and lni
tnlgriuion were ail topics of discussion in
Ihe house today under the general leave
of talk. The only business done was to
send the canal appropriation bill to con
ference. Mr. Frederick I .ami is (Intl.) made bis
maiden rpeech, taking his insurance bill
as a text, and applying . it as a remedy
for all insurance evils. ' These evil hu
touched upon la a manner which elicited
tho attention aiujypylause of his hearer
and prompted a reception on the floor when
ne concjuuea.
Mr. Ames of Massachusetts followed with
practically' the same remedy.
Mr. l"nderwsl of Alabama took the floor
against a continuance of immigration from
South! rn Europe.
In endeavoring fo make a ten-minute
speech against hazing, Mr. Simms of Ten
nessee provoked a general discussion iu
which every questioner was anxious to
find a remedy. The hazing topic was tem
porarily laid aside for Mr. Sulzer (N. Y.)
to express his views regarding the treat
ment of the Jew in Russia, when it wa
again taken up by Mr.Mahou tPa.), and the
day was concluded with another general
discussion of the practices prevailing at

The action of the Chicago clearing house
hank in coining to the aid of tue Tiicaao
National bank, the Heine Savinas bank
and the Kqoltable Trust company has
retve, n most critical situation, whlen
If it had not been taken promptly in hand,
might have led to very Merlons conse
quence!, not only in Criieauo, but clsc
wnere. The action l tin- coarmg hnuie
banks makes it absolutely certain that all
tho creditors of the three Institutions will
receive their money iinuieiiialcl.v 11 nd
should thus relieve any uppi cm nsion mi
the part of the public In tetiaid to lin
anclal troubles In Chicago. The critical
situation in which these three concerns
have been placed has t.een due to the large
loans mane to the railroad, coal mining
and other entcriu 1m.'s owned mid con
trolled by John R. Walsh. This again
emphasizes the danger of nianaaing othcers
of banks interested In outside tngiitutioii
requiring large amotrils of money. The
comptroller' ofllcr, has for some time
been criticizing the Chicago National bank
and calling upon Its otticers iiud directors
to reduce the amount of these loans and
the divestments iu bonds of Mr. Walsh
corporations.
In spite of the repealed promises that
this should !' done these items have been
continued 111 the bank and in order to pre
tent further encroachment It was neccss
sary for the comptroller to take radical
action. The comptroller's office has tor
some time been endeavoring to make an
examination of the Chicago National bank,
simultaneously with an examination of ihe
state institutions by the statu examiner,
but was not able to bring this about until
a few days ago. The result of these ex
aminations revealed such a si" ious condi
tion that it was necessary to tare Imme
diate action. The comptroller telephoned
from Washington Instructing Bank Exam
iner Bosnorth to bring thu matter at once
to the attention of the clearing house com
mittee and let 1 for Chicago" to tie on band
to personally lake whatever action was
necessary. On ihe arrival of the comp
troller in Chlrngo a conference was imnic-
dlalely had witn the state authorities and
the clearing house comiiiuttee, which con
tinued from 10 o'clock Sunday morning
until 5 o'clock Monday morning. Iu au
dition to the clearing bouse committee
representatives of all the clearing house
banks were called inlo the conference
about 7 o'clock Sunday evening. The
comptroller feels great credit Is one. not
only to the clearing house committee, but
to all the other clearing house banks, for
the prompt, vigorous action and broad
minded spirit shown In meeting; an emer
gency. ( learlnu House Statement.

The savtiii; defmsltors of Ihe Home Sa"

walling to withdraw their accounts. Ampl
provision had lieen made to meet the run
and nil nccoimts were liquidated a soon ;n

most completely away, and although a line
of depositors stood In front of the bank

disturbance. The paying off of depositors

Origin of Trouble.
Local llnaiiclers place all of Mr. Walsh'
troubles at the door of the Southern In
dians railroad. A number of years ago ha
purchased Ihe Bedford stone quarrira In In
diana. The shipping outlet for the quarries
was not as good as he desired and he toon
became involved In arguments with the
.Motion and Chicago & Knstern Illinois rail
roads, declaring that they were charging
him a rate of freight that was arbitrarily
high. He practically constructed the South
ern Indiana road, a line of which lay near
his quarries, and ultimately secured by
means of It an outlet which brought hi
quarry product to Terre Haute, Ind., and
there again
he came in contact with the
Kastern Illinois for transportation north
and south
He determined fo build for Ida
road a terminal into Chicago and bent all
his energies to this end. The fight that en
sued continued through severul years, and
it was bitter and expensive, especially to
Mr. Walsh. At one time the capitalists In
control of the Chicago & Kastcrn Illinois
iKiught up all of the coal mines along the
line of the road Mr. Walsh was proposing to
build Into Chicago, and he waa completely
shut out of all prospect of the profit of
hauling the coal and was put In the posi
tion of being compelled to transport his own
fuel. He at once bought uy an Immense 1
acreage of coal lands which hail not been
developed, and this sunk a large amount of
money that he intended to use for the con
struction of his railroad. The proposed line
from Terre Haute to Chicago has not yet
lieen built, but Mr. WaUli haa never lust
faith in his ability to construct it.
Public Deposit "H Undrawn.
Another heavy drain upon the resource
of the Chicago National batik haa been the
change in political conditions in Cidcago.
The oftlcera of the Chicago National bank
have always been active In local politics,
and the bank haa handled large auma of
money for the city, county, the drainage
canal and the different park boards. The
Chicago National waa also a depository fur
state funds to a large amount. After th
lust state election, a man waa elected a
state treasurer who waa not friendly to the
Chicago National bank and he promptly
withdraw over $.',0)0,000 which the statu iiad
in the institution. Then Vice President
Blount, who was treasurer of tho West
Park board, went out of office and it wa
generally expected that the funds which hu
had secured by virtue of Ida position would
be withdrawn. This money amounted to
$i0tw.000. The newly elected officers of the
drainage canal were also expected to pull
out all tho money which the sanitary dis
trict had placed in the bank and (thls
amounted to $.'M. The bank waa un
able to count on these funds Just at the
time it needed them most, and Mr. Walsh
waa compelled to seek in the east for as
sistance, but failure of hi efforts there
brought on the suspension of the bank
here.
He appeared at the bank during the
munition, and, although he has not been
In good health of late, appeared cheerful
and confident of the future.
"There 1 nothing I can say," he said
when asked for a statement of the affair
leading up to the suspension of the bank.
"I am out of the bank entirely, and Mr.
Boswortli is ill control. All statements
that are made regarding the condition qf
the bank must come from those who are
