DECLARES COOKE DID NOT SUS-

Convicted Treasurer of Big Four

Associated Pressl

CINCINNATI, Feb. about one
fourth of the $643,000 that Charles Il:
Warmer. deiaultinS local treasurer OIL
the Big Four railroad, confessed to nav
ing embezzled was paid by nm 10 Mrs'
jeanette stewart Ford and Edgar ..
Cooke of Chicago, according TO war
riner's statement today in the trlal
of Mrs. Ford for blackmatl
The witness said that in the seven
years he was embeZZling funds of the
railroad he had been paying approx
mately $1,000 a month to both Cooke
and Mrs. Ford, and declared that SO laf
as he knew Mrs. Ford had been uh-
aware that he was short in his ac-
counts
According to Warriner, lie paid
blackmail to Mrs. Ford because she
knew that Cooke had been short in his
accounts when he left the Big -Four
service. and that when Warriner had
succeeded him he had concealed TINS
shortage
It became apparents that warmer
has no intention Of accusing his frlend'
Cooke, of backmail. The witness re-
peatedIy declared that Cooke had never
extorted money from him, but that he
suplied him with funds for the sole pur-
pose of keeping Mrs. Ford quiet, as ne
asserted she was equally dangerous TO
both of them.
Warriner admitted he had given large
sums to Mrs. Cooke but he maintained
she had never asked him for money,
and said the only reason he helped her
and her children was because they
were the only ones felt any moral op-
legation to assist"
Enjoys 1t
Warriner appeared to enjoy his cross
examination. Seated easily on the wit
ness. stand, he answered questions with
a smiling nonchalance. His smllng
composure is in strange contrast to the
demeanor of the woman against whom
he is testifying. Mrs. Ford Weeps al
most continuously.
Attorney Thorndyke further deVel-
oped his apparent line Of defense when
he read to the jury half d dozen letters
written by Cooke to Warriner in which
there were strong and frequent refer
ences to Mrs. Ford's infatuation for the
Chicago man.
Us it true that this woman was will
ing to give up friends, money, position
and everything in the world for Cooke?
Is it not true that he was all in the
world that she desired?" Mr. Thorndyke
asked.
"I believe So" replied Warrlner
The point that the defense persistent
" strove to establish was that Mrs.
Ford was not a deliberate blaclSmailer,
but that she accepted the money from
Warriner as Cookies friend, to be free
to indulge in her infatuation.
Warriner was still on the STAND when
court adjourned. His cross-eXamina-
tion will continue tomorrow.

COST OF LIVING
AROUSES PUBLIC
Continued from Pare oDeI


ods of the so-called beef trust, accord
ing to report currslt today
William r. Maderas, a government
special officer working on the pack
ers' cases, is in New York and is said
to have summoned a Mr.. Marks to APP
pear. The grand jury in Chi
cago disposed of a few minor cases
today and then turned its attention
to a mass of documents concerning the
workings OF the National Packing
company.
New Jersey was today the center of
activity in the attempt also to find out
why food prices are high. The inves-
tigating body was the Hudson county
grand jury, which continued its prob
ing into the storage business of the
big packing companies.
1t examined numerous witnesses in
an effort to learn what quantities of
foodstuffs are stored and whether there
is any understanding among the firms
to hold necessaries of life to regulate
the supply and get the highest possi-
BILE prices.
Women's Societies Active
1t is announced that the women's
organizations of New York, with the
cooperation of the Health Protective
society, will take up the campaign
against meats and other edibles stored
for lengthy periods.
Meat prices are again on the upward
trend. A third of a cent is the aver
age advance in wholesale rates and
a full cent added to these prices is
predicted before the week end. Ship
ments are much less, wholesalers say.
and supplies are dwindling, even in
the face of the reduced demand.
THE increased cost of living for
horses" was cited yesterday as one of
the reasons for nearly 20 per cent ad-
vance in suburban express rates out
Of the city of Chicago.
This contention was advanced by
NJ r. Jones, superintendent of traffic
of the United States Express COM
pany, to the Illinois railroad and ware
house commission during it's hearing
of the complaints of excessive charges
made by Chicago shippers.
Mr.. Jones, in defending the COM
panys course, said that since 1900 the
average expense of keeping a horse
for one month had advanced from s1S
to $17. He also asserted that the av-
erage cost of horses had gone from
$1S4 to $193 head, and that employees
wages had risen about 10 per cent.

MEAT PRICES BLAMED FOR
RAISE OF FODDER COST

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. I'll A.
Jastro, president of the National Live
stock association, speaking of the
high price of meat and the consequent
boycott, declares that meat is cheaper
in proportion than any other food
commodity.
Mr. Jastro says that the price of
corn. which used to sell at 35 cents. is
now 20 cents, and hay that sold at SO
to $4 a ton, now commands $40 and
