BRITISH SCHOONER Is
LOST IN THE ATLANTIC

New York, Jan. 5.-Such are the for
tunes of those who go down to the sea
that IL men who We're lost on Thanks
giving day Of last year, when the Brit
ish schooner Johanna went down not
$50 miles from the Delaware breakwa-
ter, were not even known to be missing
until the survivors were brought to
port Saturday from st. Thomas, Dan

The Johanna was bound for the
breakwater from the Philippines for
ORDERS said Captain c. A. Nickerson,
when she became unseaworthy in
heavy weather. Two lifeboats We're put
out, one with 10 men aboard, of which
I ooh command. and the other with IL
men. There was a bowling wind. a
blanket of driving sou Yer the face
of the sky. n a gray, mountainous
sea. From moment to moment We saw
the other boat heaVe up against the
sky line on the crest of a wave and
then presently we saw her no more.
Il had hoped on reaching this port to
get ONE word of her. We were picked
up ourselves by the Nova Scotian
schooner E. A. Seabean. and carried to
the West Indies. 1 hoped the others
might be equally fortunate, but. since
you tell me nothing has been heard of
them in all this time. they must I'M

DR.. COOK AND WIFE
TOGETHER ONCE MORE
Brother of Explorer" Denies
Rumors of a Suit for
Divorce.

New York, AIN. 5.-William Cook.
brother OF DR.. Frederick A. Cook. de-
clared today that Mrs. Cook had Joined
her husband, and that liz was in com
munication with them. Mrs. Cook is
believed to have the explorers original
records of his north pole quest in her
possession. "
"Dr. Cook has by no means aban-
doned his intention to prove eoncl,i-
sively, despite the verdict of the Co
penhagen university. tina he reached
the north pole" said his brother. .and
his detractors will have a pretty bin TO
pay. ~
THE talk that Mrs. Cook is estraneed
from the doctor. and tina she contem-
plates a suit for separation with large
alimony, is u~nwarranted. Mrs. Cook
Is standing by her husband. and viii.
continue to do SO. Just now she is Of
unreasonable comfort to him. and to-
gether they are planning and working
for the future.
Il have positive information that DR..
Cook and his wife will publicly appear
together, and that the there will he a
great change in feeling. 1t NAV he
only q few weeks and it may be months
before they appear publicly again.
That all depends on how long It re.
quires DR.. Cook to fully substantiate
his claims" -

OFFICERS keep A
MOB OFF BLACKS
Negroes on Trial in Kansas
City Are in Danger Of
.a. Lynching.

Kansas City. Jan. 5.--Unusual
precautions were taken against pos
sible mob violence here today when
two negroes, George Reynolds and
John Williams, were placed on trial be-
fore Judge r. s. Latshaw in the crim-
inal court charged with attacking Mrs.
w. +. jackson, q violinist, on Decem-
Der %. 1909 ~.
The story told by Mrs. Jackson 10
the prosecuting attorney at the time
of the negroes arrest, a few days lat
er. proved so revolving that 1T caused
suppressed excitement, and it was
feared lynching might be attempted.
although no open threats a been
made.
To safeguard the prisoners. spec
tators were denied admittance to the
court room and a heavy guard of dep
uties guarded the doors leading to the
building and lined the walls OF the
room.
A jury was secured promptly. To
ave Mrs. Jackson as much embar-
rassment as possible. she was given a
seat directly in front of the jurymen
and permitted to tell her story in q
low tone. r.
Two negro attorneys appeared to de-
fend the prisoners. The prisoners ex-
pressed a desire to enter pleas of guilty.
Judge Latshaw said he would assess
the death penalty in the event they
did SO, whereat they decided to plead
not guilty.
Mrs. Jackson positively identified
the negrOes as her a~ssailants.

FORMER TRUSTED
OFFICER INDICTED
J. N. Huston, Once Treasurer Of
United States, Under Fraud
Charges.

Washington. Jan. 5.-Former United
States Treasurer j. N. Huston, with
efices in New York city; Samuel Gra-
ham, OF Montreal, Canada, and Harvey
d. Lewis and Everett Dufour, both Of
this city, were indicted today on the
charge of conspiracy n Of using the
mails for fraudulent purposes.
The presentments were the outcome
Of a raid on the offices of the National
Trust company here by p%ostofice In
spectors last September.
The company's scheme for guaranty
OF stock OF other companies on the
basis of a commission OF / per cent Of
the stock guaranteed, was worked in
connection with the National Trust
Company of Delaware. which, accord
ing to the inspectors, was organized
with s1,O00,0 900 capital and the WASH
ington concerns original capitalization
had been increased to $500, 900.
Lewis is said to have figured con-
s~picuously as an official Of both COM
panies. The inspectors said they failed
to find any material funds to justify the
guaranty claims.

LOSE HOPE OF
HELP FROM UNCLE SAM

Blueields, Jan. 5.-Hope hat h wal
would be brough. to an end through
the recognition of the provisional gov
eminent oy the United States has been
abandoned. Many believe that two
more battles must be fought, n in the
state of Chonkles and the other near
Managua. There is d popular feeling
of gratitude toward the United States
because of the attention given the
wounded by physicians from the cruis-
ers and the supplies sent for the relief
of the half starved prisoners of war.
There is. however, some disappoint-
ment that the United States has not
formally recognized the government OF
Estrada.
The impression was strong that Sec
rotary Knox awaited only on a decisive
victory by General Estrada before Civ
ing the moral support of the Washing
ton government. Such a victory was
won more than a week ago. and still no
encouraging word is received from
WASHINGTON.
