UNEXPECTED TURN
IN THE FORD CASE

Cincinnati, February about one
fourth of the s649,0O0 which Charles L.
Warmer, defaulting local treasurer of the
Big Four railroad, has confessed to have
embezzled, was paid by him to Mrs.
jeanette Stewart Ford and Edgar s. Cook
of Chicago, according to WARMERS tes-
timony in the trial of Mrs. Ford for
blackmail.
AS calmly as il he were discussing the
weather the witness stated that during
the seven years he was embezZling the
funds of the railroad he had been paying
approximately $1,000 a month each to both
Cooke and Mrs. Ford. The sensation
caused by this statement was intensified
when Warmer went on to declare that
as far as he knew, Mrs. Ford had been
unaware that he was short in his ac-
counts.
According to Warmer he paid black
mail to Mrs Ford because she knew that
when he left the Big Four service, and
that when Warmer had succeeded him
he concealed the shortage.
The testimony was a bombshell to the
prosecution for under indictment Mrs.
Ford Is accused Of receiving stolen money,
knowing it to be stolen. A second indict-
ment, however, charges her with black
mail only.
There was another unexpected turn in
the trial when it became apparent that
Warmer has no intention of accusing his
Quondam friend, Cooke, of blackmail.

GERMANY WILL
AGREE ON TARIFF

washington, February 2.-It was an
nounced at the state department this
afternoon that in all probability final
understanding between the United States
and Germany on the tariff issue will
have been reached by tomorrow after
noon and that a public announcement
would likely be made at that time.
The statement was prefixed by call
Mt the state department of the German
ambassador and later by conference
between the officials and the members
of the tariff board and the chiefs of
the bureau of trade relations.
No information was available from any
source as to the probable terms of the
agreement, but il is certain that the
practical inhibition of the importation
of American live cattle into Germany
and the very rigid microscopic inspection
of American fresh meats by the German
authorities have furnished most of the
difficulties that have been encountered
In the effort to adjust the tariff differ
ences between the two countries.
In the absence of specific Information
as to specific details it Is known that
arriving at a conclusion in this matter,
however, both countries have made ma
terial concessions.

Up-to-Date Burglary.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Burglars broke into a Philadelphia res
idence.
The sleeping family remained uncon-
scious of their presence. -
Nobody knew how long the marauders
remained in the room below
There was much silverware lying on
the massive sideboard. There were bowls
and pitchers and platters and countless
spoons-and it was all real stuff.
Did the burglars take the silver?
Did they make a huge package of tie
precious material and slip away with it
over the back fence?
No, they did not.
They took the fragments of a cold
turkey and the remains of a boiled
ham, and a dish of baked beans and
box of biscuits, and a chunk of domestic
cheese and can of olives.
They knew what they wanted.
They were familiar with market quo
tations.
They took the real stuff of the stuffiest
kind.
Moral Never mind the sllver-lock up
