Statisticians today are figuring on the
Gll-Amercan football eleven and the
eastern championship. Probably both
problems will have to wait for the
Thanksgiving day games, particularly
he Penns ylvania-C game. and
Brown Carlisle.
Yearly these dscussionse veX the
doIesters and as regularly the ex-
perts fails to agree. This season the
eastern championship will be claimed
by Pennsylvania and Harvard, while
the decision on the all-American
eleven will probably have to wait on

lty His western trip afforded him
the opportunity of seeing Minnesota
and Michigan, two teams likely to be
forgotten by eastern dopesters.

PROTECTED BY WARRINER
CONCEALED SHORTAGE OF FORM
Err BIG FOUR CASHIER.
Also Paid Him and Mrs. Ford $1,000
a Month to Keep Them
Quiet.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-About one-fourtb
of the $685. 900 which Charles L.
Warmer, defaulting local treasurer
of the Big Four railroad, has con.
fessed to have embezzled, was paid by
him to Mrs. jeanette Stewart-Ford and
Edgar S. Cooke of Chicago, according
to WARMERS testimony in the trial
of Mrs. Ford for, blackmail.
AS calmly as If he were discussing
the weather, the witness stated that
during the seven years he has embez,
cling the funds Of the railroad he had
been paying approximately $1,000 a
month to both Cooke and Mrs. Ford.
Warmer went on to declare that, as
far as he knew, Mrs. Ford had been
unaware that he was short in his &C.
counts.
According to Warmer, he paid
black-mail to Mrs. Ford because she
knew that Cooke had been short in
his accounts when he left the Big
Four service and hat when Warmer
had succeeded him he had concealed
this shortage.
- tCoNiAlloby vac a DOI1USutlI III
the camp of the prosecution, for I'M
der one indictment Mrs. Ford is &C
cused Of receiving stolen money,
knowing it to be stolen. A second in.
dictment, however, charges her with
blackmail only.
The defense strove vainly to make
Warmer admit that not only had
TnnEa hlankn oi1aI h;no l,,t thot H.
embezzler had also been compelled to
pay hush money to Mrs. Cooke and
Cookies son. Warmer admitted that
he had given considerable sums to
Mrs. Cooke, but he maintained that
she had never asked him for money,
and said that the only reason he help
ed her and her children YVES because
they were the only ones ' felt any
moral obligation to assist"
Mrs. Ford Weeps.
Mrs. Ford weeps almost continuous
ly. Especially when some of the sor-
did details of her i%nfatuation for
Cooke are being related she breaks
down completely, and burying her
face in her muff sobs convulsively.
Attorney ~Thorndyke further devel-
oped his apparent line of defense
when he read half a dozen letters writ
ten by Warmer to Cooke in which
there were strong and frequent refer
ences to Mrs. Ford's infatuation for
the Chicago man.
The point which the defense strove
to establish was that Mrs. Ford was
not a deliberate blackmailer, but hat
she accepted the money from Warrin-
er as Cookies friend in order to be
free to indulge in her infatuation.

WIRELESS SAVES
ANOTHER HERO AT KEY AS SHIP
"kENTUckY" SLOWLY
SETTLES
TO BOTTOM OF THE SEA
AIamos Hsars Signal and Speeds
Swiftly to Rescue.-Men Taken
OF and Tragedy Of Seal 10 Avert
ed of Cape Hatteras.

New York.-Thsnks again to the
wireless and the international distress
signal, IS. o. S." Captain Moore and
his crew of 46 men are safe on board
the Mallory liner Alamos, bound for
Key West, while their vessel, the
steamer Kentucky, is at the bottom of
the sea OF Cape Hatteras.
1t is another case of a disaster
averted by wireless and told to the
world by the same medium. The Ken
lucky, a wooden vessel of 996 gross
tonnage and 203 feet long, was bound
from New York to the Pacific to carry
passengers between Tacoma and Alas
kan ports for the Alaska Pacific
Steamship Company.
First news of the Kentucky's dis
tress was received at the United
Wireless Company's station at Cape
Hatteras. There the operator heard
the S. o. s., quickly followed by this
message:
1--WE are sinking. Our latitude is
32.10, longitude 1890"
Almost simultaneously the operator
heard the steamship Alamos respond
to the Kentucky's call for help, in
forming Captain More that the Ala
mos was making all speed to the sink
ing vessels assistance. Thereafter
no message was received from the
Kentucky, indicating that water had
interferred with the power, putting her
wireless apparatus out of commission.
The navy department at Washing
ton, in the meantime, flashed wireless
messages along the Atlantic coast dis
patching the battleships Louisiana
and two revenue cutters to the scene,
but word came from the Alamos that
she had arrived first and had taken
on all hands in safety. This is the
message as received in New York by
the wireless company fro mits Cape
Hatteras station:
Latitude 32.46, longitude 1928
Steamship Alamos has just taken
Captain Moore and crew of 46 men
from sinking steamship Kentucky.
Water had already reached the fire
room and steamer will sink before
midnight. The Alamos is now pro-
ceeding to Key West.

AMERICAN BUYS WElLS-FARGO
This is Taken to Mean That Merger is
Under Way.

New York, N. Y.-Tne American
Express company has purchased the
Southern Pacific Railroad company's
holdings of stock in Wells, Fargo and
company, which is taken to indicate
that a merger is under way.
Although the Southern Pacific hold
ings in the Wells, Fargo-about As, 900
shares-do not represent stock con-
troll of that concern, the remainder of
the shares, outside of those held by
the Hartman estate, are so widely
distributed that the block could easily
swing the balance of power.
The price paid is said to have been
in the neighborhood of 5000 a share,
a handsome profit for the railroad on
the original investment.
The Southern Pacifc's decision to
sell the stock is in line with the policy
of the new management of the road to
avoid stock market manipulation and
confne itself strictly to railroad mat.
tiers.
This prompted the sale of the stock
which was acquired by the railroad
during the Hartman regime. Mr..
Hartman also purchased a large
block on mis- own account.
James c. Fargo, president of the
American Express company, and
Judge Robert S. Lovett, president of
the Southern Pacific, declined to talk
about the reported purchase.
