li" persisted, and employed more" prospecto-.sto go over the surrounding teritory.More ciaims were bought, until Mr. Walshowned practically all of the land whichgave promise of mineral wealth III thevicinity of -what is now the town ofOuray. He founded this town, and. bravingthe dangers of avalanches, whichmining men said would wipe out all ofhis workings, he finally established whatnme to be known as one of the best

equipped groups of gold mines in theworld.Whether or not the tale be true of the

original discovery being due to a chargeof shot fired from Mr. Walsh's gun at ayellow bird, it is surely a coincidencethat the Walsh mines were named theCamp Bird group, and of them all theYellow Bird mine was the most productt..AT . _ * 1 1 J A.I *n AOikivr. in ct tew >eurs ne nau litKen #o,uuu,-»<KH> from the ground, and from this beginningthe Camp Bird mifies added tohis millions by leaps and bounds, untilat the time he finally sold them outrighthe was one of the richest mine ownersin the country- *

Attractive Personality.His prosperity never spoiled the man,

for Mr. Walsh was loved by his men, andrespected by all with whom he came Incontact, and his death brought sorrow tobis hundreds of friends in Washington andelsewhere through the business centers ofthe east, where he was well known, andto the thousands of miners who knew himbest from the very beginning of his strug-gles in the west. Stories are pouring intoday from the mining camps in Coloradowhich show the liberality of the man.

It is said of Thomas F. Walsa that henever forgot a friend or a service. Prosperitysmiled at him and he alwayssmiled back, and it was his one effort inlife to make the world around him better,brighter and happier, filling it just asfull of sunshine as a generous, open heartcouid well do.In the old days after Ouray became a

prosperous reality, it was his custom tog.vc a big affair at the Beaumont Hotel.

Inlater years t!>e festivals we e held in theCamp I:inI Hotel, which Mr. Walsh owned.And this hotel showed the humanitypf the man. It was built in the mostsumptuous style for his employes, and In

* spite of its equipment his men were quarteredthere at a minimum of cost tothemselves, it was not to be wonderedthat Mr. Walsh had no strikes, becausebis men were well paid, and once enlistedIn his employ few of them ever manifesteda desire to leave.

Happy Domestic Life.The married life of Thomas F. Walter

was ideal. It was hack in the days wh.*nilr. Walsh had more pluck and determinationthan mone> tiiat a pretty younggirl >ame into the mining camp withher mother. An introduction which wasfollowed b> an impetuous courtship, anjthe girl. Miss Carrie B. Keed, becameMrs Walsh. As the husband advancedin wealth and power, the wife kept pacewith hirn, and sue was always his helpiret .11 all w hich that term implies, aswell as the charming hostess wno madethe W alsh home a much-sought socialcenter.

It was in the late nineties that thephysicians advised life in a lower latitudefor Mrs. Walsh, and us a resultthe family name to Washington. Theypurchased the Jenness Miller house,with all of its beautiful tapestries,costly paintings and bric-a-brac. Subsequently,Mr. Waish built his own1palatial residence on Massachusettsavenue. Although well known In his "*

own Colorado. Mr. Walsh did not becomea national ttgure until his appointmentto be one of the commissionersfrom the United States to the Parisexposition in 1900. His entertainmentsSt the French capital became fumous.Subsequently he entertained the lataKing Leopold of Belgium at Ostend.The king and Mr. Walsh became close

friends and because of his knowledge ofmines and mining Mr. Walsn was enabledto be of considerable assistance to themonarch in suggesting lines of developmentfor some promising properties whichthe latter held in the Kongo.

His Business Connections.Mr. Walsh was a director in several

financial and other Institutions and hehad extensive holdings in real estate InWashington. Two of the largest and finestoffice buildings in the city were builtby Mr. Walsh. One of them he namedthe Colorado building and the other theOuray, in honor of the state and city,respectively.

PLENTY OF COALI

Supply in This Country WillLast 4,000 Years.

VIEW OF MINERAL EXPERT

A. H. Brooks Heard by BallingerFinchotCommittee.

LEASE OF ALASKA FIELDS

Believes That Such a Price ShouldBe Put on Lands as to Insure

Their Being Worked.

Before going into public session thismorning the' Balllnger-Pinchot investigatingcommittee solemnly opened the famousGlavis box /rom Seattle and AndrewOhristenson explained Just where he foundthe twenty-four missing letters.Alfred H. Brooks, a mineral expert of

the geological survey, continued his testimonybegun yesterday. He declared thatthe United States controlled from 60 to70 per cent of the world's visible supplyof coal, and that at the present rate ofconsumption it would require 4,913 yearsto exhaust the supply in the UnitedStates.These figures were arbitrary, the wit-,

ness said. Figured on a basis of theincreased use of coal in the future, atthe same rate of increase of the past twoor three years. Mr. Brooks said, it hadbeen estimated that the supply in theUnited States would be exhausted in from100 to 13J years. Somewhere between theestimates of 150 and 5,000 years, he declared,the truth was to be found.

"If the supply will last 5,000 years wedon't need to bother about conservationfor two or three thousand years yet." remarkedRepresentative Madison, "but ifit will only last 100 years we are upagainst it."

Thinks Alarm Unjustified.Mr. Brooks said that he thought there

had been too much alarm as to the exhaustionof the coal supply. Other factorsof power are coming into generaluse, and this in time will decrease theuse of coal. Improved- methods of consumption,also, are resulting in the decreaseduse of coal.As a general proposition the witness

said he favored the leasing of coallands, but he thought the Alaskan fieldswere too far away for the leasing systemto be employed to advantage. Hethought such a price should be put on Ithe lands in Alaska, however, to preventspeculative holding of the property,and require its being worked.Mr. Brooks declared that the whole futureof Alaska depended upon the opening

of the coal fields. He also said that therehad been many exaggerated and erroneousstatements as to the monetaryvalue of the coal fields in Alaska.

Questioned by Committee.Nearly every member of the committee

had some questions to ask the witness as

to various phases of coal mining, and theexamination was long drawn out.Mr. Brandeis' cross-examination, on the

other hand, was very brief.Attorney Pepper, representing Gifford

Pin/»hot Askeri some nuestlons rexardlnethe advantages respectively of the leasingand sale systems of disposing of coallands. Mr. Brooks declared the wholequestion of conservation was simply oneof preventing waste. Both sides had coneludedwith Mr. Brooks when the luncheonrecess was ordered.

(

Alaska Going Back.That Alaska is going back because of

the failure to open up the coal fields inthe territory was the opinion given to

the committee yesterday afternoon byMr. Brooks. ]"Alaska* is retrogressing," declared Mr.

OtioAlrt. "DoAnla orn hflonmlno illenniir. 1JUIWAOt * »«» V* uawwv u<

agd and are leaving. This is largely dueto the coal situation. Without coal therecan be no railroads, and without railroadsthere can be no business to speakof."The opening of the Alaskan coal

fields, Mr- Brooks said, would mean a

saving of $600,000 a year to the navy.He held that the opening of the coalfields would conserve the timber.The cross-examination of Andrew

Christensenr chief of field division, whosucceeded Glavis at Seattle, was takenup yesterday afternoon, but continuedfor only a short time. Attorney Brandeisasked a postponement to give himtime to examine the documents put inevidence by the witness.

PERU DEMANDS SATISFACTION.

Willing to Aooept Alfonso's Awardin Boundary Dispute.

News from Peru is not reassuring. Thelatest information from Lima is to theeffect that Peru still stands ready to acceptthe award of King Alfonso in herboundary dispute with Ecuador, and hasnot indicated any desire for any othercourse. She also is insistent in her demandfor satisfaction for the outragescommitted on the Peruvian consulate inGuayaquil, Ecuador, notwithstanding theEcuadorean legation and consulate inLima were attacked by Peruvian mobs.Telegrams from Guayauil received inLima expressing regret at the attacken Peruvians there, Jt is said, have hada reassuring effect.Up to this time no information has

reached the State Department indicatingthat Peru contemplates sending a commissionto Washington to negotiate withthe Ecuadorean commissioners for anamicable settlement of the differences betweenthe two countries.A dispatch rrom i,ma received at the

State Department today states that Peruhas just completed negotiations with

i France for a loan of about $1,700,000.

FIRE PANIC IN THEATERWOMAN ABLAZE IMPRISONED

IN A STEEL CAGE.

Falls While Doing Thrilling MotocycleAct, and Gasoline Tank

Explodes.

NEW YORK, April 9..While imprisonedin a skeleton globe of steel in whichshe was riding around on a motorcycle atforty miles an hour in view of two thousandpersons in the Alhambra Theater,12dth street and 7th avenue, last 'night,Cedora, a vaudeville performer, fell withher machine to the floor of the stage,the gasoline tank exploded and caughtfire and in another instant she was wrap-ped In flame.Immediately there followed a panic

among the two thousand spectators andconsiderable excitement among, the manyperformers on the stage and in the dressingrooms. «In the few minutes that the woman lay

on the stage without aid it was not realisedthat the whole affair was not a partof her act. but when a fireman rushedfrom the wings with an automatic extinguisheron his back there was a concerteddash for the main exit and menand women tore each other in the effortto get to the street.

.»Could Not Calm Fears.

Two policemen rushed in from the entranceand tried to prevent the wild rush,but their efforts were only partly successful,the crowd paying no heed totheir shouts that there was no danger.To heighten the terror the asbestos curtain,which shuts the stage ofT hermeticallyfrom the auditorium, fell w{th a crash,

and somebody shouted that the back ofthe theater was in flames and that theceiling had fallen.Because of the broad exit to 12fith

street the crowd did not have great difficultyin getting out, hut there were many,especially women, who suffered minor Injuries.The cage in which the woman works

is about twelve feet in diameter, andwhile she rides in It there Is no one therebut her husband, who attends .to gettngher started.

Gasoline Tank Exploded.She Btruck the floor of the stage first

and the machine fell on top of her. As itstruck there was another report, due tothe explosion of the tank, which containedabout a gallon of gasoline. There wasa flash and In a moment the young womanwas a torch. Her thin apparel wasseen to curl way from her as she laymotionless.In another moment her husband had his

coat off and was wrapping It around her,and at the same Instant the fireman an-

peared with the extinguisher. It wasthen that the audience realized the Arewas nbt a part of the act, and the stampedefollowed.Irene Franklin, one of the performers,

vas standing in the wings.'"Start the pictures'" she cried, and the

muslin sheet for the moving pictures waslowered. At the same time the house wasthrown Into semi-darkness, and this addedto the terror of the audience.

| DEATH OF MISS SEWELLBELIEVED AN ACCIDENT

Suffered From Prolonged MentalStrain Due to Younger Sister'sIllness.

Since the announcement of the suddendeath of Miss Grace A. Sewell, the testimonyof those who witnessed the accidentand who last talked with her. inconrftectidn with their knowledge of herillness and tfcs cause, it is explained, hasconvinced her family and friends thatthe tragic end of her illness was purely 1

accidental.At the time of her death Miss Sewell

was the private secretary of President 1

Needham of the George Washington University,where she had been employed in '

positions of trust and responsibility more '

than ten years, and had the confidence iand esteem of all. Present at her fu- ineral were Dr. Needham, Rev. Dr. SamuelH. Greene, who preceded hini as acting (

president; Dean Wilbur and other mem-'

hers of the faculty, and Miss Sewell'soffice associates. IMiss Sewell was born in this city, but

lived a number of years in the west,During that period, in her early girlhood,she joihed the Methodist EpiscopalChurch, and during the conculding periodof her life here she was known to bedeeply religious, as testified by Dr.Greene and Dr. Robert M. Moore ofFoundry Methodist Episcopal Church,who conducted the funeral services.Her last illness was short, and appears

to have been the result of prolongedmental strain due to a severe illness ofher younger sister, to whom she was devotedlyattached. Two or three weeks agothe family took -the sister to Baltimorefor examination by an expert, with thefear that a surgical operation might result.Instead, the examination was reassuring,and the younger sister is recovering.But the added strain provedtoo much for the overwrought nervoussystem of the devoted elder sister. Hermind became clouded with apprehensions.She especially dreaded that the familywere to be taken back to Baltimore. This,it Is said, led her to be constantly lookingeverywhere, especially out of the windows,for the expected messengers. Itwas while so doing, in the early morningof March 31, that her hold upon the windowframe relaxed, her strength failed,and she had the fall that resulted In herdeath. Those who knew Miss Sewell andthe wholly unselfish Impulses that actuatedher are confident that she wasseeking to aid and protect those stieloved, not to desert them. Onlv a fewmoments before the fatal accident she ;replied to a question as to what she was ;thinking about: "I am thinking what I ;can do to make the last years of my ;mother and Anna the happiest." These ;were her last words. ;

UNIFORMITY IN BANKINGOBJECT IN VIEW BY NATIONAL

MONETARY COMMISSION.

Bringing American System Into LineWith World's Custom.Address

by A. P. Andrew.I

AIKEN, S. <?., April A..la or<ler tobrine the American hanking system Into «line with the drift of the world, greaterflexibility and greater mobility In thebanking reserves of the country is needed,aa well as greater concentration In noteissue privileges and greater coherence and

^system in the general control o' the country'sbanking. This was the declarationmade today by A. Piatt Andrew, directorof the mint, in an address before theSouth Carolina Bankers' Association onthe work of the national monetary commission.The commission has not yet begun to

discuss even the general outlines of therecommendations which ultimately it wi'thave to make to Congress, acordtng toMr. Andrew. No one today, he added,knows what that plan will be. Tie expressedhis belief, however, that the materialgathered by the commission, whichwill be available within the next fewmonths.will constitute "an encyclopediaof banking without Its equal in the literatureof any other country."

Comparison of Systems.After drawing a comparison of the

hanking systems of some of the Europeancountries with that of America. Mr.Andrew declared he "entertained no illusion"that the same ends could be accomplishedin this country by exactly «

the same means as In any o'her country."It was on account of the striking con

trast between experiences here in Americawith conditions abroad." said Mr.Andrew, "that the national monetary ,wuiiiuor<iuii, m unaenaKing ns mvcstigatlonof possible means for Improving tliecredit arrangements of this country, beganby examining the hanking institutions.customs and reguluMons of theleading countries of Europe."Mr. Andrew declared that. '<in none of

the leading countries of Europe duringthe past ltXt years, except in periods owar and revolution, has there been anysuch geneigj collapse of credit and generalsuspension of the banks as occurredhere oftly two years ago.""I do not mean to'imply," he continued.

"that there has not been In these countriesan unceasing alternation of tradeactivity and trade relaxation. Nor do Imean to imply that there have n-»t b*engreat failures of hanks and buslnw firmsof all sorts. But upon all these occasion#there has been leadership and the situationhas been kept tirmly in hand.

American Banking Methods.Comparing the banking system of thia

country with those abroad, Mr. Andrewsaid:"Not only are our hanking reserves

rendered less available In necessitoustimes than are the banking reserves ofother countries, because of the rigid re- r

quirement under our laws of a fixed pro5 *

portion of cash, but our reserves are farless available than '

are the reserves inother countries because they are scattereda l over the country among our 2T>,- >000 different banking institutions."The Institutions which In other coun- 1

troies are charged with the responsibilityof handling the greater part of the ba'ancesof the banks," he aiWeu. "are notmanaged primarily for the private profitof their stockholders, are not operatedprimarily to earn dividends, but are conductedwith a more or les« ad mi. ted responsibilityfor the maintenance of thecommon credit of the country."Another respect In which the drift of

the world's banking is in a different drectionfrom that of this country < ur.cernsthe matter of not» issue. fne

tendency of note issue regulation in ev i>other country' is manifestly towaid theirconcentration in a single institu.ion.
