Stewart Ford, the woman in the
case, was the chief witness Thurs
day in the trial of Edgar s. Cooke,
who is charged with embezzling $24,-
600 from the Big Four Railway Com

at the completion of the testimony
of Charles L. Warmer. Warmer
in his confession charged that Mrs.
Ford received large part of the
$685. 900 which he said he had taken
from the railroad company. Mrs.
Ford was once tried on the charge
of Matchmaking Warmer, but the
jury failed to agree. She is still I'M

Mrs. Ford has been an invalid and
she gave her testimony from a wheel
chair Before she had testified more
than few moments she startled the
courtroom, declaring that Cooke had
given her $4,000 in cash. She also
revealed the innermost secrets of her
relations with the defendant so far
as the judge and attorneys would
permit.
The money, Mrs. Ford testified,
was in packages. Cooke would visit
me at my fiat two or three times a
week. she said. Each time he
would come he brought packages,
which concealed in trunk. Later
went to New York, engaged safety

and 500 bills"
While you were in New York did
you have any talk as to where this
money came from?" she was asked
''Yes-from the Big Four" was
! the reply. Cooke explained how
and why he got it. He said other
men We're getting it, and that when
they let him out he would just help

SUGAR men WERE
AFRAID OF JAIL
As a Result Beet Sugar Com
pany Ended Agreement.
WERE VIOLATING THE LAW.
Agreement Was Made After Trust Had
Failed to Force the American
Beet Sugar Company
Out Of Business.

Washington.-Hen r. Oxnard.
vice-president of the American Beet
Sugar Company, told the Hardwick
investigating committee of the House
how John E. Parsons, as counsel for
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, had o. KID an agreement be-
tween the Sugar Trust and the
American Beet Sugar Company,
which later was abrogated by the
beet sugar people because they were
advised that it might land some OF
them in Jail for violating the Sher-
man Antitrust Law.
The questionable agreement was
entered into by the two sugar inter-
ests in 1903 after the Sugar Trust
had tried in vain to drive the beet
sugar people out of business by cut
ting prices. Under the agreement
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany became the selling agent of the
American Beet Sugar Company.
What was the reason for this
agreement" asked Chairman Hard
wick.
There had been a rufnous cut
throat competition" admitted Mr.
Oxnard, land, in addition, it was
cheaper to have our product handled
by the brokers of the American
Sugar Refining Company
IF this agreement was so bene-
fetal, why was it not continued
asked Mr.. Hardwick.
when Col. Duval succeeded me
as president of the company" he
said, "he thought the contract was
against the law. / told him we had
expert legal advice from officers OF
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany and from firm of New York
counsel that it was not in violation
of law. But Mr. Duval said he
would have Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh
pass upon the legality of the con-
tract. Mr.. MacVeagh told Col
Duval that. if we did not abrogate II
we would run the risk of going to the
penitentiayy We conferred with the
officers of the American Sugar Re
filming Company as to Mr.. Mac.
Veagh's opinion and of our desire to
abrogate it. They reiterated their
belief that it was not, in their
opinion, in violation of law, but they
would agree to abrogate it If we
wished to do so. The contract was
terminated in October, 1905, after
being in operation for about three
years. 1t was to have run until
1912"
Mr.. Oxnard mentioned Henry o.
Havemeyer and Mr.. Parson as hav-
ing expressed the opinion it was not
in violation, of the law.

HONORS PAID TO
Mr.. ANDMRS. TAFT
The Silver Wedding Of Presi-
dent and Wife.
BIG FORTUNE IN GlFTs.J
Reception Of Guests Takes Place on
the Lawn Of the Executive Man
sion, Which Was Illuminated
by innumerabIe Lights.

Washington.-With all the world
as their friend and well-wisher, Will
liam Howard Taft and Helen Heron
Taft Monday night celebrated the
twenty-fifth anniversary of their
wedding n
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Taft was
a young Cincinnati lawyer; his wife,
a young girl, no different and no bet
ter known than thousands of others
throughout the country. Today he
is at the head of the greatest nation
on the globe, holding a position
higher and more powerful than that
of any monarch of Europe, and his
wife is the first lady in a land of
90,000,000 people.
Their silver wedding, the second
to be observed at the White House,
was perhaps the most brilliant and
notable social gathering ever held In
that historic mansion. 1t sets q
period far beyond other functions
there held and establishes
standard that will long remain UNI
paralleled.
n0CSIW0 Out OF OoopSs
Under a starlit sky the President
and his wife received their guests,
representing every State in the
Union, every class in the country and
almost every civilized nation in the
world. Recruited from all quarters
of the earth, there assembled in the
White House grounds one of the most
remarkable social gatherings seen
since this country became a republic.
Non-political, non-partisan, with
neither national nor international
significance, it was a wonderful
world tribute to the leading citizen
of the United States and his wife,
such as has not occurred before and
will be remembered long by thou
sands who formed a part of the vast
throng. The scene was fairylike in
its beauty, inspiring in its brilliancy
and splendor.
Over 500, 900 In Silver.
Probably no feature of the func-
ton aroused as much public interest
as the presents showered upon the
President and his wife in honor of
the occasion. From every State in
the Union came gifts, and it is esti-
mated that silverware valued at con-
siderably more than 100000 has
been bestowed upon the couple as
result of the 1000 ir-itations sent
their silver wedding.
Many of the gifts, sucn as those
from the Senate of the United States
and the House of Representatives,
are each valued at several thousand
dollars. From political clubs, civic
associations, Federal oficeholders
and others have come within the last
few days perfect rain of silver
ware. States, such as Maryland,
have contributed handsome and cost
ly gifts. Cities have sent tokens of
esteem in the shape of wonderful
punch bowls, silver urns, or dinner
plates, and there have been many ex-
pensive and beautiful individual
gifts from personal friends.

Abraham Gonzales declared that un-
der the new regime foreign conces-
sions which might be regarded as
monopolies would not be extended or
renewed, and that every legal effort
would be made to restrict foreign
monopolies now existing in Chihua-
hua, one of the richest states in min

legally controlled by American,
British and German interests. The
Americans are the largest holders.
''All Americans who grieved at the
downfall of the Diaz administration
will find that their grief was we'll
founded" said Governor Gonzales
I'VE do not intend to take away the
riches of any foreigner who legally
holds them, but we realize that un-
der the Diaz system the granting of
concessions, with their ruinous pay
ments of large sums of money to
Mexican politicians, was virtual
selling out of Mexico.
For years Mexico has been ex-
plotted by foreigners until the great
body of the people have nothing. We
are on the verge of becoming a ma
ton of paupers Now all special priv
ileges shall cease If we can accom-
plish 1t.
1--WE hope to maintain the friend
lest relations with Americans, and
we shall invite all foreign capital to
come in; but there will be no more
selling out of the country by piece
meal. We will invite competition,
not monopoly. If American capital
wishes to come here, it must be pre-
pared to compete with Mexican capt.
tai. No exclusive privileges will be
given foreigners.
