ENTIcED MAN TO HIS DEATH
STORY OF A WOMAN ARRESTED
FOR MURDER.
Mystery at Wheeling Solved BY the
Confession Of Woman Who Plan
ned Death Of An Admirer.

A special dispatch from Wheeling
says:
In the arrest here Tuesday Of
Charles Cook and wife and James
White, the police believe mystery
has been unraveled on which they have
been working for six months, and one
|of the most remarkable stories on re-
cord came out through the alleged con-
fesslcn of Cook and his wife. Last
September Charles Bennett, of New
|Kensington, Pa, was found floating in
|the Ohio river, and while the verdict
was suicide, the police thought it
was murder. This morning Cook was
locked up on information given by his
imother.
In September Leila Zane, daughter
of Pratt Zane, a lineal descendant Of
Elizabeth Zane, the heroine Of Fort
Henry, the original frontier settlement,
now Wheeling, enticeG Charles Ben
nett, an 1S-year-old, to the West vir-
ginia fair grounds. She had planned
with her lover, Charles Cook, aged -,
and James White, aged 20, to meet
her there with Bennett, and when they
found them to assault Bennett and
rob him Of his money.
This program, Cook says in his con-
fession, was carried out, and wnen the
Two men appeared Cook knocked Ben
nett down with his gun. The woman
Iconfesses that she joined in the strug
gle, beating Bennett over the head with
a big club, after which Cook carried
him to the river and held his head UNI
der water until he was dead. Then
they cast his body in the river, to be
found two days later.

FAMOUS RED CROSS SOCIETY
BRANCH TO BE ORGANIZED, In
THIS CITY SHORTLY.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning
This Worldwide Organization
and Its Splendid Work.

The American National Red Cross
has recently inaugurated plans for an
extensive enlargement Of it's member
ship, not only for the purpose OF pro-
yiding an ample emergency fund to
which memberhip dues are applied,
but in order to make the organization
more truly national in its scope and
tc better acquaint the people OF this
country with the purposes and methods
Of their official relief agency Until
the special act of congress of January
I. 1905, the American National Red
Cross was nothing more than q semi
private society with few scattered
membership OF only a few hundred.
The act referred to recognizes the
Red Cross as the authorized and Off
cial volunteer aid association, and pro-
vides a most necessary and helpful
feature government supervision !;
and what is not less important, the
aitliting Of It's financial operations Dg
the war department, thus furnishing
esery possible safeguard to proper and
honest administration. Though the

country not a dollar being apnropr;-
ated by the government. For while
the headquarters of the society are in
the state, war and navy building, and
the secretary of war is the active pres
ident OF the Red Cross, the society is
strictly a volunteer association and
is dependent upon and limited in ths
extent Of its service to the spppog
and generosity of the people az large.
What the Red Cross lacks most Al
present is a large membership q
has only about 10000 at the present
tiIne). A large membership means
turn the possession OF such an EN- al-.
gency fund that when calanities occur
aid can be rendered without the delay
Nhich is SO often fatal; it means pow
