The farmers of Iowa are spending
OF. a vast project to drain their swamp
lands three-quarters as much money
as the United States government Is
paying TO build the Panama canal.
They have already used $S000,000 in
the work, and the total cost of the
improvements when finished is esti-
mated at $307 600, 900. 1t is expected
that hundreds of thousands of acres
will be added to the tillable area of
the state, acres which during ages
have been accommodating richness

land as well as by decay of their own
swamp vegetation and which need
only to be released from the embar-
rassment of too much water to dem
onstrate their wonderful fertility.

owed could be obtained. Then, ac-
cording to Ballew. he had outlined to
him "A fixed" race to be run on May

WOMAN TESTIF|ES
PECULIAR CASE
PALSlEO INVALID BARES INNER.
MOST SECRET OF HER RELA-
TIONS WITH EM5EZZLER.

Cincinnati o., June To- Charles l..
Warrner, defaultcr to the extent of
S643, ,OoO stepped from the court scene
in the trial of Edear s. Cooke here
today back to his cell. and there en-
tered Jeanette Steward Ford, once a
valuable Du Barry, now pathetic,
palsied invalid
With Quavering voice, shaking hand
holding a handkerchief unsteadily 70
her eyes, she admitted havins hidden
$4,000 in money for Cooke and then
declared he had told her that it had
been taken from the Big Four rail
road
She said that sha had received ST.
POO or $500 of tins amount for her
self and then, when shown a check
signed 10y her and ndorsed by Cooke
for $1,000. said thai the former book
keeper of the railroad had forced her
to return that amount to him. She
also revealed the iuncrmost secrets
OF her relations with the defendant
50 far as the Judge ana the attorneys
would permit.
Cooke Visited Her Often.
Cooke would visit me at my flat
two or three times a week. she said.
Each time he brought packages
which | concealed i'm a trunk. Later
went to New YORK, engaged a SAT
ETY. deposit box and put the packages
in it.
Cooke and I Wen TO New York in
September. 1901. We went to the safe
ty deposit vaults and opened the pack
ages and counted the money. II came
to $22 900 all in $40, $50. $50 and 500
bills"
Did YOU have any talk as to where
This money came from?' she was
asked.
Yes, from the Big Four" was the
reply. Cooke said other men were
getting it and that he would just help
himself"
In all essential details her testi-
mony fitted into and supplemented
that of Warriner. Warriner had re-
lated that when he discovered Cooke
was short the defendant had prom
ised to return some of the money
and had subsequently visited War
riner's home and given him $1,000.
"lts All Right" Said Cooke.
Mrs. Ford said today that she had
accompanied Cooke to the Warmer
residence one night. but had remain
ed outside until the latter had finished
his call, that Cooke then said Its all
right we'll both go to New York,
and that there they opened the cache
she had established in a Wall street
vault
Mrs. Ford's cross examination is to
begin tomorrow Attorneys for the
defense were willing to undertake III
at an afternoon session, but the wo-
mans physician objected.
Warriner again today resisted sue
cessful attempts to lead him into an
exposure of men higher up. He de-
MED there were any such men: that
he had pleaded guilty and accepted
prison sentence at the request Of
Big Four officials: or that he had, as
an officer of the road, paid out money
for illegal rebates
