effect that the Northern Pacific Coal Com

CoHoos rs INNOCENT.


WIFI sue f0r D8m0Ee&s
TACOMA, Sept. 2s.-[Special. John L.
Cohoon. brother-in-law of Edward Albert
son, who robbed the Fidelity Trust Conn
pany bank in this city, was today dis
missed from custody in Justice Sharp's
court, on motion of Prosecuting Attorney
w. II. Smell, who informed the court that
he did not believe Mr.. Cohoon guilty.
1t will be remembered that Cohoon was
taken into custody by Detective Sullivan's
men shortly after the bank was robbed. It
was presumed by Sullivan that he knew
something about the robbery. In
fact, Sullivan stated on Monday to corre-
spondent OF the PosT-INTELLIGxNcxo
that he was quite positive of Cohoon'n'
guilt. The warrant upon which he was
arraigned, charged him with completely In
the robbery. He would not tell anything,
and after being kept in room in the Fifa
hotel for several days, he was lodged in
Jail. He claims that Sullivan's men
forcibly kept him in the room,
and would not allow him to
send word to his family unless they in
spected the letters. This reused the in
dignation of his friends and a suit for
damages against the bank is promised.
Sullivan alleges that Cohoon was given
his choice between going to Jail or remains
ing in the room. At any rate, Sullivan
and the bank people refused to give any in-
formation as to his whereabouts, ayowingA
total Ignorance of the matter, when in fact
they had caused the warrant to issue.
For time, after he was released from
the room in the Fife hotel, Cohoon re-
manned in Jail in default of $4,000 bail
bonds. His attorney. NJ. h. Smell, says
the bank people agreed to go on his bonds
provided he would tell what it.
was supposed he knew about the
robbery. Before Cohoon was released
from the custody of Sullivan's men,
detective was sent out by Thiel's agency
from st. Louis, and put in Jail on an all
legged charge of defalcation in Cincinnati.
Cohoon was wary and would not talk to
the detective, although he was placed in
the same cell with him. At any rate he
convinced the 'spotter" that he was an
innocent man, and the spotter so reported
the result of his work. Later Cohoon was
released on bail.
The most interesting fact connected
with the case was learned today by cor
respondent of the PosT-INTELLIeEScER-
and is that Cohoon was never legally
arrested, the warrant which was
sworn out by President T. b. Wallace
of the bank was never read to him by an
officer, although he has been kidnapped. /"
as his friends say here, and jailed, has
never for moment, they declare, during
that time been in fact under
arrest. When Sullivan took him
into room in the Fife hotel, he
exhibited the warrant, but even then he did
not read it. Later, when Cohoon was ar
raigned, Ike Evans, the deputy sher-
lff who assisted in the abduction
of Messrs. Bailey and Albertson, of
Seattle, and who was sent for by Sull ivan
to take Cohoon into custody, also failed to
comply with the law and read the warrant.
Cohoon's friends are confident that he can
recover damages from the bank.

m.kINLEY SPEAKS IN IOWA.
He Makes an Argument Against Free
silver in the Ottumwa Coal Palace.

OrruMwA, Ia. Sept. 23.-An immense
crowd of Republicans turned ont TO hear
Major Mckinley speak at the Coal palace
today.
Mckinley repeated his argument against
free silver, saying if that policy was
adopted the silver of the world would
rush in on US and the government
must receive 4121z grains OF silver,
worth so cents the world over, and
coin, therefor, piece of money which by
the fiat of the government would be called
and circulated as dollar. The major also
dealt at length with the tariff question, re
iterating his former argument. He said
the statement that the protective tariff in
creased the mortgages of the country was
absurd.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 2s.-The chairmen
of the Republican and Democratic state
committees have arranged joint debate
between Major Mckinley and Governor
Campbell az Ada, October 5. Campbell
has the opening and closing of the debate.

Upon the financial question only is
there any considerable division of senti-

GRAIN, GOLD AND SILVER.
Interview With Robert Giffen on the
American Financial Situation.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-A representative of
the Associated Press had an interview
with Rothschild, Speyers, Lazard Bros,
and other bankers, and they all agreed in
their statements that further large ship
ments of gold are going to America
Rothschild dispatched an additional f1OO-
600 today. In an interview with Robert
Giffen, the head of the commercial depart
ment and comptroller of corn returns of
the British Board of Trade, he was asked
what truth there was in the calculation
that England and the continent
would be forced to ship gold.
amounting to f60,0O0,OO0 to pay for
imports of American grain. Giffen
ridiculed the estimate. He said that be-
fore 100000 in bullion had been sent to
America, both the Bank of England and
Bank of France would raise their rates of
discount and check the drain. According
to Giffen, not bullion but securities and
exports will go to America to pay for
grain. Undoubtedly, he said, there would
be heavy drain of gold for several
months to come, but the payments for
grain were not the sole cause of such a
drain. An important factor in the finan-
cial situation was the silver question,
American houses, he declared, were max
ing preparations to face the silver crisis,
which now is inevitable, by making gold
purchases in Europe. When asked if such
a crisis was inevitable, Giffen replied:
In my opinion it is impossible to avert it.
The United States has become overloaded with
paper currency. The issue of silver certificates
to the amount of coo sterling annually
was a gross legislative mistake, and is bound to
bring crash speedily.
In response to an inquiry rs to how soon
the crash he predicted could be looked for.
Giffen said:
February will probably realize the worst of
the position. l do not see how grave trouble
can be averted by remedial legislation. There
j. hardly time to avert it, even If the parties in
congress could agree upon the means
