mittee named by President J. c. F.

SOON RECOVER maine BODIES
NOW PLANNED TO CUT SHIP INTO
TWO PARTS AND RAISE HALF.
Enough Water viii Be Removed to
Reveal Long Submerged
Hulk.

Havana, June 15.-The work of re.
moving the water from the cofferdam
enclosing the wreck of the battleship
Maine has been carried to a point low
enough to reveal portions OF the wreck
submerged for thirteen years, includ-
ing part of the midship section i'm
mediately affected by the explosion,
the whole quarter deck and portion
of the berth deck, in which it is be-
lieved lies most Of the bodies.
The water is at the ten foot level
which will permit the partial explora-
ton of the upper part of the after
section from the stern to Immediately
forward of the engine room space,
where the explosion severed the for
ward section including the ten inch
turret on the starboard side.
To Test cotferdam.
All this latter portion of the vessel
is submerged many feet in excess of
the after part and probably will not
be revealed until the dam is complete
ly emptied and great quantity OF
mud excavated. The present intention
of the board is to permit the water
to remain at the ten foot level possibly
for several days, to make observations
and tests of the cofferdam to deter
mine beyond question Its ability to re-
sist the tremendous inward pressure
when completely emptied. Nothing up
to the present has been observed that
suggests any possibility of insufficient
resistance of the structure.
Col. Patrick said the board be-
lieved it quite feasible to separate the
after two-thirds of the ship from
the forward third, severing the parts
shattered by the explosion by the
use Of an acetelene blast.
On the completion of the separation
it is intended to dissect the forward
section by acetelene blasts into port
able fragments, which will be taken
out piecemeal.
After that in default Of further or.
ders from congress, it is the intention
to build bulkhead across the rear
section, float it out from the dam.
bring it alongside wharf In the har.
Dor, make complete examination and
finally tow it to sea and sink it. 1t is
believed that within a week or ten
days sufficient progress will have been
made to permit the recovery of all the
bodies.

TEsTIFlEs AGAINST COOKE.
Mrs. Ford Admits Hiding Money For
Him.

Cincinnati, June Is: - Charles l..
$643,OOO, stepped from the court scene
in the trial of Edgar S. Cooke back to
his cell and then entered Jeanette
Stewart Ford, once veritable Dubar-
ry, now pathetic, palsied invalid.
With quavering voice, shaking hand
holding q handkerchief unsteadily to
her eyes, she admitted having hidden
$4,000 for Cooke and then declared
that he had told her that it had been
taken from the Big Four railway.
She said she had received $1,000 or
$500 of this amount for herself and
then, when shown a check signed by
her and Endorsed by Cooke for $1,000,
said Cooke had forced her to return
that amount to him.
In all essential details her testimony
fitted into and supplemented that Of
Warmer. Warmer had related that
when he discovered that Cooke was
short, the defendant had promised to
return some of the money and had
subsequently visited WARMERS home
and given him $4,000.
Mrs. Ford said she had accompanied
Cooke to the Warmer residence one
night, but had remained outside until
the latter had finished his call; that
Cooke then said, ITS all right; we'll
both go to New York." and that then
they opened the cache she had estab-
lished in Wall street vault and aided
Cooke in counting bills to the total
of $4,000.
According to the woman, Cookies
explanation Of his methods in acquir-
ing this money was that che just
helped himself" Mrs. Ford's cross-ex-
animation is to begin today.
Warmer duplicates No One.
Warmer again successfully resisted
attempts to lead him into IN exposure
of men higher up" He denied there
were any such men, that he had
pleaded guilty and accepted prison
sentence at the behest of Big Four
officials or that he had ever, as an
officer of the road, paid out money
for illegal rebates. Warmer was
then dismissed and in the custody Of
a deputy led back to the county Jail.
