PAID $4,000 AS HUSH MONEY.
Shortage Of c. L. Warriner, as Treas.
urer Of Big Four, viii Aggregate
About $175,ooo.

Cincinnati, O.-The shortage OF G.
L. Warriner, erstwhile local treasur-
er Of the Big Four, will aggregate
about $175,000, much Of which has
been paid as hush money to a former
I employe OF the Office over which War.
riner has presided, who Is now a resi-.
dent OF Chicago and known as a
plunger. The price Of this silence
has cost Warriner an aggregate sum
OF $4,000, made at regular intervals
covering a period of several years,
upon which the Chicago plmger has
lived in luxury and ease. Early In
WARMERS connection with the treas
urer's Office he began appropriating
money belonging to the company with
which to make good modest but un-
successful investments. His pecula-
tions had reached about $20,0O0 when
he fell prey to a clerk, who, as an en-
ploye in the office, learned Of the
shortage, and who demanded a trib-
ute for silence. The demand for ran
som was made when the clerk was
dismissed from the service Of the
company, and regular payments have
been continued from that time until
now. In this way nearly one-half
OF the total amount of the money
appropriated was paid to the clerk
for protection against the disclosure
of a defalcation of a comparatively
small amount. Another bottomless
hnIa intn u,bfuh W. ,,o,rad 1, To
ill-gotten gains was a prolonged Sc
ries OF poker games. This demand
upon his unlocked purse cost the snug
sum Of from $4,000 to $4,000 dur.
ing the past few years. The bene-
ficiaries of this fund are men who
are said to have been in a position
to know that Warriner could not
stand such a strain without reaching
beyond his own legitimate resources,
and there is probability that they
will be called upon for q reckoning.
The desperation shown by Warriner
in these games is an evidence that he
was playing hope against hope in
an effort to regain lost ground and
make good In another direction. II
is not improbable that he began this
form OF gambling with the expecta-
tion Of being able to cover up his
official wrongdoings, but here again
the tide was against him, and his
losses continued until he was all but
swept of his feet. Thus is from
$1I5,000 to s125,000 of the total sum
Incorporated by Warmer account
ed for. A blackmailer received $751;
900 for continued silence, and De-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 was sunk
at poker in a desperate effort to get
back what had gone. In addition to
this Warmer made a number OF in
vestments, some possibly good. 9TH
ers bad and some indifferent. These
included stocks OF industrial and
mining enterprises and securities OF
an investment and speculative char
acter.

 not so great that those events will

 The troubled European situation was responsible for some of the heavy tone It the outset Selling orders were exe- kuted for foreign account in various in- Eernatonally listed stocks, with the re- bult of carrying them under the clos Ing level of Saturday here. The great financial centers on the continent show spirit of apprehension over the outcome bf the situation in the Balkans that hay not end until definite settlements lire embodied in international agreements.

WHEAT MARKET
 CLOSES LOWER
Weakness in Europe and Slump
 in Corn CaU 6 Decline.
EXPORTS ARE VERY SMALL
Heavy Realizing In Corn Brings De- cline and This Aided By Poor Cash Demand-oats Are Weak.
 Provisions Steady.

Chicago, March 15.-Weak cables and a slump in corn had a depressing effect on the wheat market today, prices at the close showing net losses ssc to %c, com pared with Saturdays final quotations. Corn and oats closed weak and provisions steady.
 Heaviness and inactivity marked trad ing in the wheat pit. There was not great selling pressure. With the exception of a material decrease in primary receipts, the news and statistics of the day were of a bearish nature. At the start the market was weakened by decline of 1sd to Ed at Liverpool and throughout the day the heaviness of the corn market tended to inspire additional selling. An increase of 74,0O0 bushels in the visible supply in the United States, compared with a decrease of 1,324,00O the correspond ing time year ago, and an official re- port showing that exports of wheat from this country last month were the small est in three years, were also important factors that helped to weaken the mar ket. Reports of further complications in political conditions in Southeastern Eu- rope induced some covering by shorts dur ing the last half of the day. Prices throughout the day moved within a &c range. May selling between $1.16A and S.17A and July at 1.045s.
 Realizing sales by out of town holders caused weakness in the corn market. There was slow demand for cash grain and prices at the sample tables were 1ac to 2c lower. The market closed weak at almost the bottom prices, May being off %c at 67bc; July closed Ac lower at 6716c.
 Trade in oats was quiet and prices fol- lowed the trend of wheat and corn, sen timent in the pit being bearsh all day The market closed weak with prices ssc to 1kQ9sc lower, May being at 54s4d547se and July at 491ac
 Unexpectedly liberal receipts of live hogs at western packing centers prompted considerable liquidation of provisions, re- sulting in moderate weakness. At the close prices were unchanged to TIA lower.
