MYSTERY ABOUT
 MARINER CASE
S442,o ,ooo OF EMBEZZLED MONEY UNAccouNTED FOR BY
 COURTS.
Frederick Cooke Denies the Statement Made by Warriner in Reference
 to Him--Books Straight.

Cincinnati, Feb. 3--A chain of em'
 bezzlements, involving three men, ex- | tending over many years and finally culminating in the almost wholesale l footing of the Big Four Railway treas ury, was the startling story told by | Charles l.. Warriner, defaulting local treasurer of the road, ill his testi-
 mony today in the trial of Mrs. Jean nette s. Ford for blackmail.
 Warriner represented himself as a
 man pouring out gold with both hands
 and in ever increasing amounts to keep sealed the mouth of the woman, who, through her infatuation for one
 Of the alleged embezzlers, F. s. Cooke had learned the secret.
 Frank Comstock, Warriners prede. | cessor as local treasurer was declar- ed to be the third man.
 Calmly and in unruffled tones. War. riner told the almost incredible story. Ii was his fourth and last day on
 the witness stand, for when the court adjourned, his examination was con. cluded. Only twice during that time
 did the man allow his marvellous com posture to desert him and then only
 for few brief moments.
 According to the witness, when he assumed office as treasurer in 1902 he learned that Cooke was short in
 his accounts $24,000 He also learn
 ed that his predecessor Comstock was | short sl0.500. He himself was ae l faulter and to prevent his crime pc 1 ing discovered he engaged to conceal the thefts of the other two officials. In the story of the gigantic theft | there is one question which has never been definitely answered and the at torneys for the defense made another effort to obtain it's solution. Wha became of the $64S,0O0 which Warri
 ner has confessed to have stolen? l The witness declared he had pait approximately s16S,0O0 in blackmai
 and that s32,000 had been stolen b,
 others than himself The remainoe
 of $442.000 is explained by him al
 having been lost in speculation"

 Drake is specifically accused of havS ing obtained from Fanny CagleSY Hodgensville, Ky, to proeeclte claim of the Drake estate, $50 from ]. c. Drake of Whitfield and BIO rom man named Miller of Corsicana, Texas.
 Farmer Drake was certainly opti- mistic in his letters to hopeful claim ants of the vast estate. To the Ca gle woman, whom he addressed as Dear Cousin" he wrote:
 T have found an estate in Phila- delphia and another in Boston of our great uncle and aunt and the prop erty is worth over ten billions; and another of Aunt Anna Drake in New York who owned the water front from the Battery to the Twenty-third street Ferry"
 With a figurative sigh, he adds:
 "Now the hardest thing 1 have to contend with is to have money for expenses. I have only got a small amount on hand, and possible cannot stand it more than next week, unless get some money in. If I had the money last spring We would have hal our millions before now.'

Care Of Eurs.

Furs are needed nearly the veal
| around in our uncertain climate anG
many women do not put them away
at all.
Furs that are often used need con
slant Watchfulness and frequent sun
ming and airing, They should be kept
in alright bags and hung where they
will not be forgotten.
Very heavy long coats and furs,
rugs and wraps should be sent to a
professional packer. These firms keep
them In cold storage and are care
fully preserved from moths. Such
furs should be carefully tagged, so
that no exchange will be made. Where
furs are packed at home, as most
furs are, they should be well cleaned
before putting away. A soiled spot is
often the nesting place for moths.
Rub dry bran or cornmeal into the
durable furs and powdered magnesia
into sable, ermine and chinchilla.
When very dirty, meal may be mixed
with gasoline before using. Do not
rub too vigorously. Never hang on a
line and beat, as such treatment will
mean torn skins.
IN brushing use a stiff brush, part
ing the hair evenly and getting at the
felt, To remove any cleaning meal
a. mans hat brush is good.
Sun and air furs for several days
before packing away. Brush with the
nap of the fur. Small furs if wrapped
IN newspaper are well protected, as
moths dislike the printers ink. After
wrapping in paper tie up in a thick
cotton bag; pillow case makes
good bag. A few cedar twigs put into
the top OF NE bag or cedar chips may
be used, but many successful furriers
use no personalities when using this
method.

URGES SUPPORT FOR EXPOSITION
interest in the Panama Exposition
Must Not Be Allowed to Lag.

New Orleans.-ln a recent editorial
anent the Panama Canal Exposition,
the Daily Picayune says:
THE good people of New Orleans
and of Louisiana must not for a mo-
ment relax their interest in the Pan
ANA Exposition, It should be now
one of the foremost objects of public
interest, and the active efforts of the
gentlemen who are giving so much
Of their time and talents towards it's
promotion should be heartily seconded.
Of course, the most important feature
OF the enterprise at its present stage
IS to raise the necessary money. In
addition to the proceeds of the special
tax voted by the legislature and to
the million dollars previously sub
scribed, there Is further sum Of
two and a half millions, which is al
ready in course of being raised.
I'VE must have $7,5OO,0O0 and per-
haps $10000,000 to stage the exposl-
tlon properly. The nations Of Europe
will put about $S,000,000 in struc-
lures The South American republics
can be looked to for like sum. The
national government will add $4,000,
600 at least. The government has
never financed an exposition, but it
has loaned several of them the mon.
ey, Later we may go to the govern
ment for a loan, but we cannot do |
that now. Just at present we want |
recognition from the government as
The Worlds Panama Exposition |
City, that We may get the nations
If the earth to come here.
This exposition will be one of the
greatest enterprises of the age, and |
t will mean $1O0,O0O,0OO spent in
louisiana, without considering the
enormous development which it will
i've to every interest in both city
nd state. This is one of the oppor-
nnities which fortune has brought US,
nd it is up to our people to make
he most of it."

TYT1IEW ORLEANS-The BIZ
H. VH packing house Of Swift &
NA NHICO, certain Of the future OF
- - New Orleans as the CONNER,
cial center of the South and the gate
way of trade to South and Central
America and the Orient, has made
another large investment in real es,
tate. The company closed the deal
with the Marrero Land & Improve
ment Company by which it became
the possess0r of an ideal 21-acre tract
in Jefferson parish, near Harvey
Canal, The company paid $4,000 per
acre for the land, or an aggregate Of
S42,440.
The purchase of the land will mean
a stupendous investment by the com
pany in Louisiana. The company, &C
cording to Augustus Hirsch, its real
estate representative, will shortly
erect several buildings on the site. II
IS limited that the company has de
cided to erect a cottonseed oil fac
tory which will be one Of the largest
In the United States. 1t has been
definitely decided to erect a modern
soap factory and several other small
er plants on the site. This will re-
Quire an expenditure of more than
100000.
1.-THE work on the buildings will be
started at once" declared Mr.. Hirsch.
"The Swift people have great conf
dence in the future of Louisiana and
are not hesitating in placing money
here. New Orleans is growing at a
tremendous rate. This may not seem
to those who have not been
away from here in the past 10 years,
but to one who has been around the
c1Tntry looking &; er the building ol
the future of New Orleans
as The commercial center Of the
South IS very evident"
The land purchased by Swift & Co.
has a frontage Of about 70 feet on
the Texas & Pacific railroad and is
about 600 or 700 feet along the Har-
vey Canal line. The land is high and
dry and is well protected from floods
Another advantage is the water deptl
In the river at that point, which will
enable ships of standard draft to
and without trouble. The company
will eXpend large amount Of money |
erecting adequate docks to facilitate |
he handling of its products.
The erection of the new plants will |
mean the employment of several more
men.
