WILlETT ROASTS ROOSEVELT Sew York Con;resman Says Preal- deat Haa Been Great Men ace to Duioru, WASHINGTON, March 11 Denuncia tlon was heaped on President Roosevelt In the house of representatives today by Mr. Wlllett of New York. Mr. Willett In Birted thnt the distressing effects of the panic of 1907 still were being felt. "There seems to be," he said, "a conspiracy of si lence on the part of the republican mem' bers of the house on the subject of the cause arid effect of the panic." Thoss members, be declared, were afraid to' at tack tba firt-Bldcn fur fear "of iiU' "big stick." The president), he said, was "reap. lng the reward of hie own reckless mis conduct." , A Ha referred to "the Imperialistic meth ods" of the president as evidenced by the nnamerlcan discharge of whole companies of American soldiers without trial, with out proof of guilt, and said It sounded "more like the edict of an African chief tain or Russian deapot than the command of on American president." Mr. Wlllett charged that President Roose velt had "done more than all other presi dents and all other public men In the his tory of the country to shake the confi dence of the pcoplo In our form of govern ment, and has done more than any one man In our nation's history to destroy logltimate business,"! shatter confidence among the people and bring utter panic Into every counting room, factory, - shop, office and home in the land, and has ex hibited a greater degree of self-consciousness and egotism, which are the natural results of power and flattery than any president who has occupied , the White Iluuue. "Nevertheless," he said, "the clarion tongues of the great republican party are iilent; the people's rights may be train tied upon, but party Interests must be M-otected.'j He chaacterled the president is "that great central deity," and said :hat If the usurpations of the president passed unchallenged by the people f hey Mould soon create the force of precedent. "Now la the time," he exclaimed, "and ws are the people to watch with Jealousy such beginnings. Indignantly to attack them and If possible to destroy them." In conclusion he said: "Remove the cause of the unrest, silence the ceaseless, senseless clamor for spec tacular effect on the part of the man In the White House and quiet will be re stored."

NEW 'TRIAL DENIED BY COURT Charges of Misconduct by ' Jnror Fall Berssts Attorneys Were . Late In Making Their Objection. CHICAGO. March 13.-ohn , R. Walsh, former president of the Chicago National bank of this city, who was convicted of Illegal use of the funds of th Institution, was today denied a new trial by Judge An derson In the United State district court and sentenced to serve five year In the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, A soon as the court had announced the refusal to grant a new trial th attorneys for th defense entered a motion in arrest of Judgment, on which they argued for sqm time. It was generally thought about the court room that they would consume two or mora hours stating their reasons for the granting of this motion, but At torney Hart, who presented It, ceased speaking In about thirty minutes. "Judge Anderson then promptly overruled th mo tion and sentenced the banker to five years In Fort Leavenworth. . Judge Anderson, In denying th motion for a new trial, spoke without notes, hi decision requiring about one hour In de livery. Technicalities Swept Away. The J'idge first took up the question of the alleged nonassent to the verdict of Juror Palmer, reciting the circumstances from the records of the court and declar ing: "It cannot be Bald for a moment that Palmer dissented from the verdict. To my mind there Is but on construction to be placed on the whole matter and that Is that he assented to the verdict. If It had appeared to counsel for tho defendant that he did not do so they should either hav asked that the Jury be sent back for fur ther deliberation or that it be discharged. No such request was mode and the court 1 therefore Justified In saying that counsel took, at that time, the same view as was held by the court and that was that the Verdict was entirely regular." .The court further declared tHat the charges of misconduct on the part of the Jury were not founded on fact, saying that counsel for the defense had stated In open court that they had no objection to offer to whatever degree of liberty th court might allow the Jury at time when court was not in session. This being the case. he declared that counsel wa barred from claiming that too much liberty had been al lowed, particularly when It had not been shown that any Improper use had been made of the freedom granted. Garter Not ta Cast at All. "It Is claimed by the defense that while In a variety theater on of the Juror In thl trial removed th garter of an actress. What that haa to do with' thl case I can not lmaglrie. and why dignified counsel hould ' bring it Inte this casa Is beyond my comprehension. It has no logical or possible relation to th deliberation of th Jury. vV ., 'vi-i '" " "Much ha been said about the Inconsis tency of the verdict, It being claimed that the defendant was found guilty upon sev eral coimts which charge the same offonae to have been committed In different way. It seem to me that the verdict cover all the points In th case, and that there has been no Inconsistency, as alleged." On the point of alleged error committed during the trial, . Judge Anderson said "Generally speaking, I want to say now that this defendant has had a fair trial. Nowhere did the court allow evidence to go befor this Jury which was calculated alone to prejudice the case of the defend ant. ."In my opinion, no reasonable man could heHr the evidence In this case and have any doubt that the defendant Intended to do the things that are charged against htm In the Indictment. For, more than thirty years I have taken part In legal procedure as a lawyer and a Judge, and It Is my de liberate conviction 'that a more reckless, utter disregard of law has never been shown in any case within my experience Feeling thus, it was with considerable mis giving. If I may so speak, that I sat here yeterday for more than three hour and heard counsel for the defendant argue that th government had failed to show the criminal Intent. . - Walsh Serve Two Masters." "I had occasion to say la ruling upon a motion made by defendant's counsel that no man can serve . two masters. To my mind that Is the key to this whole situa tion. - The defendant was i banker and president of a national bank. The proof shows that he loaned to himself practically ven-tentha or three-fourths of the en tire assets of this national bank S17.000.000 or $18.000.000 which was Invested not In properties which had been developed, but In railroad and other properties which he hoped to develop. The banker was lost In th promoter, the (peculator, the railroad n an. Th evidence clearly established this. He owed a duty to the bank, hi master. He attempted to serve these other Inter ests, the other master. To my mind there has been In recent times no clearer demon stration of th statement that a man who 1 a banker ought to be nothing but banker, and that until at eat thoss bank ers who own and manage national bank understand that when they serve their bank they cannot serve other interests untrf that Idea prevails cases Ilk this will probably continue to arise. "Under all the circumstance my duty appear to me- to be perfectly plain, and thl motion for a new trial I overruled. The defense then entered a motion in arrest of Judgment, which wa also over ruled by the court. Jadgment at One. It was the general opinion that counsel for th defense would consume considerable time In arguing the motion for arrest of Judgment, but after Attorney Hart had spoken for thirty minutes th court Inter rupted him. saying: "I think you may plac those matter be fore the court of appeals, Mr. Hart; you are making no showing here." Turning to the prisoner. Judge Anderson said: . . "Mr. Walsh, have you anything to say why. I should not now pronounce Judgment upon you?" Walsh, without rising, shook his head slightly and th court said: , "The character of th vldenc and the character of the crime of which thl de fendant haa been found guilty call for ex treme Judgment. The facta are, however, that thl defendant I TO year of age aad that mere Imprisonment 1 of llalf aj heavy a punishment In a case of thla kind I have concluded that th law will be sat (Continued on Bocond Page.)

The arguments were concluded yesterday and today Judge Kunkel gave final Instruc tions to the Jurors, ; who have patiently listened to testimony and speeches since January 27. " The present case constituted one of the longest Jury trials in the history of Penn sylvania courts and It attracted much at tention throughout the state. The prosecu tion of the alleged capltol frauds is the In direct outcome of the great political up heaval In Philadelphia In 1906 which re sulted In the fall of that year In-fhe elec tion of W. H. Berry, a democrat, to tho office of state treasurer. After Berry took office he startled the people of the state by charging that the books of the state treasury showed that the capltol,' lnstfead of costing $4,000,000. had actually tost 313,000,000.

After the case of the four defendants now before the court ha been disposed of the prosecution of the other will be taken up. The state alleges that the frauds In tho furnishing and decorating of the capltol aggregated nearly 85,000,000. The Jury retired at 12:12 p. m. The Judge's charge lasted one hour and nine teen minute and wo regarded by lawyer who heard It as favorable to the prosecu tion. MINERS .HAVING - HARD TASK Hoar's Session Friday In tEndenvor to Find Common Goand with ' - Operator.' INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March IS. The convention of the United Mine Worker of America was In session an hour today and adjourned until tomorrow to await the re port of the scale committee to which has been referred the decision as to the course of the organisation In the impending wage troubles with the operators. T. p. Nichols of the Wllkea-Barre-Scran-ton, Pa., district reported to the conven tion that the scale committee had not reached an agreement. The scale commit tee ha been at work since yesterday. It 1 understood that' It has voted down two prepositions in order to get to -the real question of wage demands. While all the members of the committee are secretive, It is reported Indirectly that the committee has defeated th proposition to refuse to sign a scale except y competitive districts and had refused to entertain a motion that the miner continue work after .April 1, Under present conditions pending the set tlement of a new wage scale. The two pro positions now being considered, it Is un derstood, are to adopt wage demands and then Issue a call to th operator tor Joint conference, Inviting any and all operator to sign and keep their mines open, or to Issue a call for Joint conferences by districts. It Is probable the present wage scale will be Insisted upon. There Is a possibility that the whole mat ter of policy or the making of contracts may be left by the convention In the hands of the national scale committee or the na tlonal executive board, giving It full discre tion and power to act.. The object of this movement would be to make it possible tor the committee to enter Into such arrange ments April 1 a are thought advisable, Thl probably would permit the committee to grant privilege to operate mine in dla trlcts where the operators indicate that they are .willing to proceed very soon to a wage settlement. , CLOSER TIES AMONG NATIONS Way and Menu to Develop Them In South Amerlcn Subject of Conference.

Cal., March 13.-Newa that tho American battle fleet I to undertake a tour ot the world within two months after it arrival at San Francisco on May waa flashed bv wireless telea-ranh lo the battleships of Admiral Evans' com mand at Magdalena bay late tonight by the government station at Point Loma. Thero Is every ' reason to believe that it waa received on board the vessels by offi cer and crew alike with the greatest de gree of satisfaction. It haa generally been -understood for some time' In naval circles that the trip back to the Atlantic station would be made by way of flues, but the official announcement, coupled with the early date on the second half of the world's greatest naval maneuver, will give keen pleasure to the men already proud of the notable achievements of their fleet. The wireless station here was flooded with message from Washington during the day and there was several hours of send ing work before the operators late this evening established communication with the , Connecticut. Practically all of th messages were In code, but they Includet the news that the Itinerary of the world cruise, starting from Ban Francisco oi July 6 and Including Hawaii, Samoa, Aus tralla and the Philippines In the points ti bo visited, had been formally approved bj thi president and his cabinet. They alsc Included the cordial messages of congratu lation from the president and the Navy department. These messages will be read to the crews of the sixteen ships at "quar ters" tomorrow morning, at which time an nouncement of the Suex route and another round of friendly visits to hospitable for eign ports will be made. Ships in Good Condition. Admiral Evans, who will relinquish com mand of the fleet during its forthcoming stay at Ban Francisco, and who goes on the retired list when he attain the age of 62 year in August, wa expecting some official word from Washington on the sub ject ot the futur movement of the fleet, and It wa In view of thl and to enable the department to prepare Its program that he ent the message on the night of his arrival off Magdalena bay to the effect that the ships could start on any mission at a day's notice, nnd were In far better shape as to machinery and efficiency of crews than on the day of sailing from Hampton Roads. The fact that but two months Is to b allowed between the arrival of the fleet at Ban Francisco and Its departure for the far east Indicates that serious repairs are not needed by any of the r.l ud Un, further fact that any stays that may be made In dry docks will be exceedingly short. The time for repairs further will be cut down by the excursion of the flet-t to th Puget Bound to give the people of th north Pacific coast an opportunity to see and visit the ships which have occupied so much of the world's attention during the last three months. The residents of the coast are somewhat dltmppointcd over the brevity of the ships' stay In these waters, but they are patriotically proud of the fact that the flag Is to be shown all th way around the world. Longest Cruise on nerord. President Roosevelt announced In his last message to congress, in referring to the trip of the "battle fleet" to Magdalena Bay and San Francisco, that no such fleet had ever undertaken such a cruise In the history ot the world's navies. The significance and Importance, there fore, of the added Journey through "our Pacific posHesslons," and on through, tho Sue canal and tlm Medllterrancan st-u, In the eyes of the chief ixiiutlve and the uavy officials, ran well be Imagined. Bo much interest will attach to the passage of the fleet through Asia, along the north African shore and southern Europe, that pressing Invltationa undoubtedly will com to the president from France, Germany aa
