LAUGHS AS III
DENIES CHARGE
N. ]. OCKSREIDER BROUGHT
BACK FROM SALT LAKE
is ACCUSED OF EM5EZZLEMENT
BY PEAsE BROTHERS
Mrs. Bertha sonnenberg and Her Lit-
tie Son Accompany Prisoner
on Railroad Journey
from Utah

ridiculous in the extreme was the
first statement made by n. j. Ocksreld-
er, former president of the Merchants
Discount company, who was brought
back from salt Lake City last night
to answer a charge OF felony embezzle-
ment of $2400 from the Pease Brothers
Furniture company, whose collections
he handled.
AS Ocksreider sat in the detectives
room he was talkative and seemed in
no way depressed by the predicament
which he is in. and stoutly asserted
that as soon as he had an opportunity
to present his side of the story in court
he would not only be released but vim
dicated.
He seemed to feel more solicitation
over the INJURY" as he termed it,
which had been done to Mrs. Bertha
Sonnenberg, also of Los Angeles, who
was with him at the time of his arrest
in Salt Lake City, and who is supposed
to be the affinity in the case and the
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-24

person for whom it is alleged Ocksreid-
er embezzled money that she might
have all the luxuries of life.
Far more tender were his statements
in regard to the alleged affinity than as
to the welfare of his invalid wife and
the little child which he is said to have
deserted, and his great worry seemed
to be that Mrs. Sonnenberg would not
be properly cared for and would have
to bear ignominy which was not justi-
fed.
"Our relations were simply of pla-
tonic nature" stated the alleged en-
bezzler as he discussed his relations
with Mrs. Sonnenberg, land it will be
my endeavor to shield her character,
which l have reason to believe is
spotless. My wife sued me for di-
vorce and at the institution of the
proceedings l felt that was sufficient
reason to think that she no longer
cared for me. The suit was brought
for non-support, and 1 did not contest
the divorce suit, which is still pend
ing"
Sonnenberg arrived in Los Angeles
last night at 9:20 in the custody of
Detective Home, and on the same train
and in the same car was Mrs. Sonnen-
berg and her five-year-old baby boy.
Mrs. Sonnenberg was not under ar
rest and has not been, and accom-
panied Ocksreider to Los Angeles of
her own volition.
Talked About Travels
Ocksreider spoke freely of his travels
since he left Los Angeles August g..
Il left for Salt Lake City, visited Den
yer and also Chicago, and from there
to New York, stopping at a town in
Pennsylvania to visit my parents. I
then returned to Tacoma and went to
San Francisco, where Mrs. Sonnenberg
was. She had some business to attend
to in regard to settling up affairs, fol-
lowing her divorce from her husband
and engaged my services for this pur-
pose.
From San Francisco, we went to
Chicago, as the business affairs took

Some striking effects of the
tariff on the necessities which
the poor man is compelled to buy
are brought to light through a
controversity between two
Eastern papers, which appear to
have obtained some confidential
figures prepared for the use of
the President by treasury ex-
perts. 1t is shown that on the
suit of clothes which retails for
SIS, the duty is $4.76, 80 that
without the tariff the same suit
could be bought for $10.24. A
mans overcoat now retailing for
SIS could be bought for $11.36
if there was no tariff. A woman's
dress which now sells for $40
could be bought for $8.75 were
it not for the tribute which the
consumer is made to pay to the
manufacturers. A tapestry rug
which now sells for SIS is worth
just 1864, the extra $3.50 being
the sum the consumer is COM
PEELED to pay to the American
manufacturer for the same rug
which, without a tariff, he could
buy for less than $40. Practi-
cally everything is taxed, even
salt, which costs cent a pound
more because of the tariff, and
sugar, which costs II cents a
pound more because of the pro-
tective policy.
Mr.. Aldrich stands, day after
day, in the United States, Sen
ate, and insists that the soul
of the consumer yearns for a
high tariff "a tariff which forces
him to pay from twenty to fifty
per cent more for every articl he
eats or wears! Glasgow Times.

Stop GrumbIins.

There is no earthly need of so
much poverty and grumbling,
as one hears on all sides to-day.
There is plenty of food in this
great and glorious world for all
its people. 1t is the fault of ed
ucation of our children and ex-
horbitant price on foodstuff, and
low prices paid labor Educate
the children and it will equalize
their chances for living by
qualifying them to receive higher
wages. Then the children should
be broken into some useful labor
and taught to respect and honor
the useful more than the orna-
mental. Every boy and girl should
be made to work at something
that would be of profit, till the
second nature forms with them.
A man or woman so educated be-
comes actually fond of labor or
at least pleased with results, then
it becomes a pleasure to perform
it. All children at an early age
should have a band and be
taught to save its money, or, at
best the largest part of it. They
should not be allowed to waste
anything, food, clothing, or any
other article of value. 1t is the
early impressions formed on the
mind that are enduring. Very
few children trained in the right
direction will become paupers,
unless caused by sickness or som
unavoidable accident.
