TESTIMONY VARY
District Attorney Donahue Says
George Reed Diverged in
De Lancey Case

OAKLAND, Nov. 10.-District Attor-
ney ". HI. Donahue at the close of his
cross examination as witness against
Attorney John S. de Lancey today
stated that conversations which he had
had with Attorney George w. Reed
regarding incidents in De Lancey's at
tempted settlement of his accounts
were at variance with Reeds testi-
mony when examined on the witness
stand. This point arose when Attorney
A. L. Frisk for the defense asked
whether he had not had a disagree
ment with Reed when Reed left the
courtroom. after testifying.
There was no disagreement about
it," said Donahue. II told Reed that
he had related a certain set of facts
to me in his Office and then testified
to another set.
You mean that your recollection OF
what he told you did not coincide with
his testimony?' queried Frick
Il am not referring to my memory
at ALI" said Donahue. Il know it,
Then your memory is infallible?
asked Frick.
Il do not say that was the reply.
but | do say that a few days before
the trial Reed and | went over the
facts in this case and he told me GER
tain things. On the witnes stand he
testified to something different"
You mean George w. Reed?" asked
Frick
Il mean George W. Reed said Don
ahue
Testimony given by Attorney Reed,
as shown by the transcript of the case,
was that on two occasions he had
talked with De Lancey as to the ad-
visibility of prompt settlement of his
~
while Gray was public administrator
Reed stated that he advised De Lancey
to settle, as he might be indicted
Other testimony was in regard TO cash
belonging to the George Hite Cook
estate, which Reed said De Lancey
admitted having in his possession. De
Lancey was indicted and is being
tried on a charge of embezzling $4,000
from the estate
With Donahue's testimony the prose-
cution closed its case against De Lam
cey. Frick then moved to have the
court instruct the prosecution to name
the exact date upon which the money
was said to have been embezzled. argu-
ing that the indictment was indefinite.
Donahue and Assistant District Attor-
ney Hynes will oppose the motion. Au-
thorities will be submitted to Judge
Brown tomorrow before the point is
decided.
The defense will begin Immediately
afterward.
Concerning District Attorney Dona.-
hue's statement. Attorney George w.
Reed said tonight:
My testimony on the witness stand
was the truth. The district attorney
did not give any testimony as to what
were my conversat tions with him, and
therefore l have nothing to comment
upon there. My testimony was a state
ment of facts, and | know therefore
that there could be no material differ
ence between that and any other state
ments L might have made

CITIES HEATH[N,
SAYS CLERGYMAN
Rev. A. P. Brown Declares That
the Church is Rapidly
Losing Ground

OAKLAND, Nov. 10.-"The cities are
becoming heathen," said Rev. A P.
Brown of Fresno today at the fifty
seventh annual convention of the Bap-
tist church of northern California in
the course of sermon, in which he
said that the church was losing ground
in the centers of population in the
United States and was falling to reach
and mold the lives of millions of per-
sons
This sermon, which occasioned much
comment among the 800 delegates 10
the convention was delivered at this
afternoons session of the convention
Rev. Mr.. Brown said in part:
The cities are becoming healthier
From half to three-fourths of the peo-
pie in the cities never go to church
The lodges, labor unions, theaters,
dance halls and shows furnish the
social centers for the majority, and a
large proportion find their recreation
may well be aghast at the breakdown
and failure of the church TO reach and
mold the lives of the cities.

years ago. In the smaller communities
there is a growth of the church S
strength, but in the great cities an ap-
palling decrease. The cities are be-
coming heathen, and as goes the city
so goes the nation
There is remedy. Instead of a
church for distinct classes there must
be a church to embrace the avenues
and the slums alike"
The speaker went so far as to out
line the principal problems in the great
cities that must be met by the church
and TO outline the remedies, as follows:
Poor food-remedy, cooperative
kitchens throughout the cities: children
in the streets-remedy, the establish
ment of Fairgrounds and kindergar-
remedy, coffee houses and reading
rooms; mortality among the poor
remedy, hygienic city; great number
of unemploy yed-remedy, a national EN-
ployment department; alienation Of the
masses from religion-remedy. build

Laughs at Story of Woman

y VI " Offe%h
He is not at all the sort of man
to do anything of that kind. About the
last thing that he would do would be
to try to kill himself" was the state
ment made.
and then, too, Cook laughs at the
alleged defalcation coming from a Chi
cago woman. All that is begging the
question and is simply advanced by the
authorities at Cincinnati in lieu tf a
better explanation of the affair. War
riner had no friends of the sort inti-
mated by the dispatches"
Delavar Cole, the attorney who has
represented Cook during his residence
in Chicago, said today that his client
had nothing to add to WARMERS
charges, but intimated that a surpris-
ing story would be revealed when all
the facts in connection with the al
legged defalcation are made known.
Biackmail Trap Alleged
According to Judge Samuel o. Bay
less, one of the attorneys for Warri
ner, Mr.. and Mrs Warriner made
trip to Chicago some time ago for the
purpose of holding a conference with
E. S. Cook and Mrs. jeanette Stewart,
alias Ford, hoping to secure immunity
for further blackmail.
Bayless said tonight that Warriner
was trapped into the trouble he is
now in by Mrs. Stewart. According
to Bayless, after the first demand for
money from the blackmaflers came,
Warriner thought the matter over and
decided to confide in his wife.
A heart breaking scene is said to
have occurred at the Warriner home,
Mrs. Warriner at first advising her
husband to make clean breast of
his shortage to the railroad officials.
Stock Deal a Failure
Warmer and his wife, however, ac-
cording to Bayless, finally decided
against this, and at the Chicago con-
ference Warmer agreed to pay a
lump sum to the blackmailers, believ-
ing he was then to be let alone. When
the prosecutions continued. says Judge
Bayless, his client thought it possible
to pull out of the depths he was in
by a successful stock deal which, as
is now known, was never consum-
mated.
M. E. ingalls, and others today en-
phatically absolved Frank Comstock,
MARINERS predecessor of any re-
sponsibility for the shortage.
A physician was summoned to the
Warmer home during the day. 1t
was stated that Warriner was i'll, but
not dangerously so.

Election Day Is Quiet One in City and
Fair Vote Is Cast---Fcw Women
Vote i'm Morning Both Parys
Candidates are Confident

The municipal election today Is
passing off very quietly, in keeping
with the campaign which has been
waged for mayorality honors. The
rain early this morning promised to
cause a light vote in all precincts,
but in the afternoon the clear skies
and bright sunshine caused the can
didates ard their friends to take
neart and renew their efforts. The
probability is that a very representa-
tive vote will be cast before the polls
close.
The election had none of the char
acteristics of an election in some Sec
tions OF kentucky. All OF the aspir-
ants for Office and their friends were
in the lest of good humor and the
contest was a friendly one on all
sides. No disturbances of any kind
were reported in any OF the precincts
As has been the case in the whole
campaign, the school board matter
held the center of the stage today.
The vote of the women does not
promise TO cut as great a figure as
was predicted. A large number OF
those who were registered appear
