WARRINER PAID $500
A MONTH BLACKMAlL.
Indicted on Charges of Grand Larceny
and Embezzlement of Five Thou
sand DoIars-Woman in
the Case.

Cincinnati, O.. Nov 1G.-Charles L.
Warriner, former local treasurer of
the Big Four railroad was indicted
by the grand jury on charges of
grand larceny and embezzlement in
the amount of $1,000 on each count.
While 1894, 900 is known to have been
stolen from the railroad, the startling
fact that was developed by the pro.
ceedings that the companys cash
books. prior to 1905 have disappeared
and that it will never be possible to
tell the full amount of the defalcation.
The comparatively small amount
upon which Warriner was indicted
represents the latest known theft 1t
has been placed at that figure in or
der that if conviction fails the railroad
authorities may proceed on any other
of the numerous thefts This means
that the prosecution may be maintain
ed indefinitely.
Warriner claims to have paid $400
a month to each of two persons in the
form of blackmail The rest, he al
leges he lost in speculation.
BY far the most interesting person
to appear before the grand jury
was Mrs. jeanette Stewart-Ford, the
woman whose connection with the
case is still a mystery. After she
had given her evidence she declared
she had said nothing beyond the in
definite statements which she had
already made public.
After the grand jury had adjourned
for the day Prosecutor Hunt, an
nounced that Warriner would be
summoned as witness to give evi-
deice against those he accuses of
blackmail.

EXPRESSED HIMSELF EN-
PRACTICALLY FOR STATEHOOD.
William Jennings Bryan Says That the
Territory Should Have Had it
Long Ago.

Owing to the briefness of the stag
of William Jennings Bryan in Santa
Fe and the fact that he was well oc-
cupied while here, the representative
OF the New Mexican was able to obtain
but a short interview with the distn-
guished visitor Colonel Bryan eX-
pressed himself very forcibly on the
statehood question by stating that he
was emphatically for it. He said that
when he was in Congress in the nine
ties he not only agitated statehood but
worked hard for it. The people then
he said were entitled to it and in every
way fit for it. That they are fit for
statehood now, he stated stands to
reason as since the nineties the terri
tory has been rapidly and greatly i'm
proving. When asked as to what the
chances of early statehood were, Mr..
Bryan refused to commit himself say
ing that he did not care to express an
opinion as to what Republican Con-
gress would do in the future.

Court of Appeals of District of CoIur.
bia Denies Stay OF Execution
to Leaders.

Toronto, Can, Nov. 1G.-Just as
the convention of the American
Federation CT Labor was about to ad-
journ for the day last night, tele,
gram was received from Washington
announcing that the stay asked by the
attorneys for President Compers, Vice,
President Mitchell and Secretary Nor
rison in the proceedings against them
for contempt of court, had been de-
MED by the court of appeals of the
District of Columbia.
President Gompers plainly was sur
prised and as he read the message to
the convention delegates sat as
though daZed.
That means that the resources of
lawyers have been exhausted, doesn't
it?" asked one of the delegates.
".The chair is not in a position to
state,'' replied President Gompers
Then, as he read the message stating
"the mandate goes down Saturday
morning" the faces of himself and
his fellow officers betrayed the ankle
ty under which they were laboring
A telegram signed by the three de-
PENDANTS was sent to their counsel in
Washington asking when it would be
necessary for them to put in an ap-
pearance to avoid forfeiting their
bonds, which amount to $4,000, and
stating that they would like to re-
main in Toronto until the close of the
convention Saturday night
81 am not certain whether, under
the law of the District of Columbia,
We can appeal said Mr. Gompers,
after adjournment. But if We do go,
the convention must stay here and
carry on its proceedings in dignitied
and orderly manner"
We'll charter a train and all go
down with you volunteered one of
the delegates.
"And even the seceders will join
you,' added J. J. Reid, president of
the seeding faction of the Electrical
Workers.
The suggestion that the convention
be adjourned to Washington in the
event of the departure of Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison, was taken
seriously by many of the delegates
and it VISA said a resolution to that eff
feet might be prepared.
Pending an answer from Washing
ton, the executive council held a long
session, at which plans for meeting
the situation which confronts the
three labor leaders were discussed.
Many delegates have expressed dis
approval of the plan suggested by the
Central Labor Union of Philadelphia
that two weeks general strike be
ordered as a protest against the con-
tempt imprisonments.
