It is necessary that the towns and states devote their money to making better bodies of their citizens as well better minds, and if the na- tional government with its resources can follow outlines of investigation that shall show the proper treatment to be followed it is well that they should take that step.

New York November S.-rhe loss to the Big Four railroad through the alleged defalcations of c. L. warriner, its local treasurer at Cincinnati ultimately will amount to about s5oo.0oO according to a statement issued tonight by Albert H. Harris vice president of the New York Central lines, including the Big Four.

Warriner has turned over to the company property amounting to more than s10O,O0o and there will be received from the American Surety company on it's bonds $50 600, leaving a net amount of the shortage something less than s5o0.- GOO.
 ''The method which Warriner adopted was to cover his defalcations in the item of cash in transit At the end of each month there are considerable sums of money on their way to the local treasurer from station agents and others which have not been received by him. It was by including In this item the moneys which he had, in fact stolen, that he was enabled to conceal his defalcations."
 Cincinnati, November S.-Detectives con tinued today to search for persons sus- pected of blackmail in connection with the shortage of Charles L. Warriner, for mer local treasurer of the Big Four railroad. Fashionable apartments in a downtown building were under surveil- lance all last night. the local detectives having been informed that a richly gowned woman, whose name has been mentioned during the investigation, was there, but the watch proved barren.
