The Poiitiken says;
Frankly. we regret only that an

explorer a similar reception. They In

WARRINER IS SENTENCED
PLEADS GUILTY AND GOES UP FOR
SIX YEARS.


Cincinnati, Dec 22.--Charies L,
Warmer, deposeG local treasurer OF
the Big Four Railroad. pleaded guilty
to embezzlement In the common pleas
court today and was sentenced to
serve six years in the Ohio peniten-
tiary.
Warmer appealed to the mercy Of
the court. OF the money he is alieg-
ed to have taken from the Big Four
less than half has been recovered.
Prosecutor Hunt said that no furth-
er charges will be presented aaginst
Warmer at present. unless 1t Is shown
that he has some OF the missing mon
ey hidden.
The trial OF Mrs. Jeanette stewart
Ford. the woman In the case" to set
tor next Monday. ass
Practicaily the only public comment
that was heard when the result OF the
trial became known was that of sur
prise at the comparative lenieney OF
the sentence. Although sentencsd to
six years nominaily this term could be
reduced by good behavior to slightly
less than four years. Warmer may
be brought to trial again on numerous
other counts, but Prosecutor Hunt
stated this afternoon that this would
not be done unless 1t was found later
that the prisoner had concealed part
OF the proceeds OF his thefts
When asked by Judge Woodmanses
IL he had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be pronounced. War
rfnef answered:
Very little. I knew have trans
crossed. but know aiso that 1 have
suffered. / ask in all mercy that
be sentenced at once
Warmer almost collapsed when
sentence was pronounced. but he soon
recovered.
With the sentencing of Warmer, II
is believed there will be no further
sensational disclosures In the huge
theft. Before his trial Warmer had
frequently declared he would make
public the names OF others who were
involved in the matter, but It is now
believed he will quietly accept his
punishment and remain silent as to
these persons.

BROKAW NOT ON STAND
MILLIONAIRE rs EXPECTED TO
TESTIFY TODAY.


New York, Dec. 22--w GoulI
Brokaw did not take the stand in his
own defense today as had been expect
ed Instead, his counsel continued to
Introduce testimony designed to show
that the demands of Mrs. Brokaw, who
is suing for separation with alimony
OF $4,000 a year. are unreasonable. in
view OF the husbands diminished for
tune.
John #. Mcintyre. Mr.. Brokaw's
lawyer. explained that one OF his as
sociates who had the minutes OF the
trial had been detained and that the
case could not well go on without
him. An early adjournment was
therefore granted with the under
standing that Mr.. Brokaw will testify
tomorrow.
Mr.. Brokaw paced up and down the
corridor of the court house today, his
lips moving rapidly as II he were re-
hearsing the testimony he would be
called upon to give.
The illness of her motheE Mrs
James A. Blair. who has been stricken
with pneumonia at her home in West
bury. has given Mrs. Brokaw worry
and deprived her of the supporting
presence in court of her father This,
together with continued tales OF
cigarette smoking and cocktail drink
Ing. which the trial developed, has
served TO break the splendid poise
which she so long maintained.
John F. McIntyre declared today
that Mr.. Brokaw in his testimony,
would not deny that he had called his
wife "a little fool" and "a stupid
idiot and other names which the
occasion demanded" but that II would
be shown that there had been abund-
ant provocatlon for loss OF temper on
the part of his client
The attorney declared also that he
would show that James A. Blair. Mrs.
Brokaw's father. had threatened to
hold Mr.. Brokaw to account II the
latter's conduct made Mrs. Brokaw
unhappy.
Much OF the courts time today was
taken up with testimony OF North
Carolinians called to show how Mr..
Brokaw's wealth had diminished OF re-
cent years making his wife's demand
for SEQ 600 alimony unreasonable.

81 petersburg, Dec. 22-Colonel
Karpoff, chief of the secret police Of
st Petersburg, was assassinated early
today.
He had been epticed to q modest
apartment In a remote street OF the
Viborg district. and there was blown
to pieces by bomb exploded. suppoS-
eddy by his host, one Michael Vosskres-
sensky, who had leased the rooms few
days before.
The murderer rushed into the street
following the explosion and was cap
tured. An assistant Of Karpoff's. who
had accompanied him. was severely an
jured.
Karpoff was appointed from Baku,
where ne had been chief OF the secret
police. There have been several con-
victions Of bomb makers reeenfiy:
The assassination Of Colonel Kar-
poff has caused the greatest sensa-
ton here.
The mystery is still unexplained,
but The popularity credited theory Il
that -Karpoff was engaged In the
manufacture Of false evidence and
thai while Yoeskressensky was In the
police chiefs pay, he was stimuli
tsneousiY plotting In behalf OF the
evolutionary faction.
II appears that after Karpoff enter
ed the rooms. vosskressensky went
outside on the pretext Of examining
the, electric bell. which failed 10 act.
1t Is supposed that he then connected
the wires which exploded the bomb.
The matter came up In the Duma

constitutional democrats and M.

ton which suggested that the affair
was the work Of agents provocateurss

1t Is believed here that Estrada will
proceed next to Greytown and compel
the surrender Of the Government troops
that have been bottled up In that place
for more than a month. This may
take some time. The country between
Biuetields ana Greytown is swampy
and difficult to negotiate. especially foI
an army. AS the crow flies, 1t is only
q mater OF about sixty miles, but q
wide detour probably will have to be
taken. almost doubling the distance.
Once the news of the defeat of the
Zelayan troops at Rluefelds is conveyed
TO the Greytown garrison. the defeat ol
that force. 1t is expected by the revo-
lutionists' sympathizers here. will be
easy. When that Is accomplished. the
next move of Estrada will be to cap
ture the small towns along the San
Juan River which flows past Greytown

lists will have q clear connection with
the base on the seaboard andTwill then
