WOMAN HAD FACULTY
 FOR BORROWING MONEY
Miss Annie E. Sharpley Got. $8o,ooo
 Without Security.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Miss Annie E. Sharpley, who borrowed $s0,0O0 from wealthy Chicagoians without security by her mere powers of persuasion, ad- mitted today she was the same Annie Sharpley who once was sent to the federal penitentiary from Philadelphia for forgery. Miss Sharpley's affairs became public after she filed a petition in bankruptcy scheduling $S0,000 in debts and declaring that her extensive poultry farm from which she sold eggs to many wealthy families here, had been sacrificed to her longing to have produced a. play she had written, Lights Ahead"
 Today she admitted that her adven- ture in theatrica1s had cost her only $500 and that she had never dealt with the New York producer, but with an lnpostor who had -defrauded her.
 Among Miss Sharpleys creditors are Mrs. T. B. Blackstone, who signed notes for $47,000 for her, and Herman Cohen, 8 paWnbroker, who declared he had loaned her s2O,00O without se- curity. Cohen finally took over the poultry farm as security for S4,000 of the loan. After this Miss Sharp1ey borrowed $350 from him, he said, to pay the first months rent on the farm.
 Miss Sharpley said the money shs had obtained by her forgeries as well as the amounts she borrowed in Chi cago had gone for the support of an Englishman whom she had loved in her girlhood and who had sincs lived on the money she had been able to make. He was killed recently in bat tie, she said.
 The same persuasiveness that ena- bled Miss Sharpley to borrow large amounts has prevented any of her creditors from taking action against her, it was said. Cohen, after listen ing to her story today. announced that he would stand by her and Mrs. Black stone said she believed thoroughly in her honesty and was prepared to lend her even moSe money if necessary. Miss Sharpley said she could repay the loans if given time.

 BORDEN AND SIR SAM HUGHES
Show That the Appointment of Sir
 George PerIey Caused Difference.

Ottawa Ont, Nov. 14.-Letters ex- changed between Sir Robert Borden, Canadian premier, and Sir Sam Hughes, whose resignation as minister Of militia was requested. were made public here today.

 While in England last summer it was disclosed, Sir Sam appointed a military council to manage Canadian it was said, held that Sir Sam Hughes exceeded his authority. Then it was that Sir George Perley was appointed overseas minister of military with out pay.
 Sir Sam urged that Sir Max Aitken be chosen for the post. The premier declined and charged Sir Sam with "disregarding the principles of joint responsible government"
 The premier resented an intimation that he and Sir George Perley had se- crete1y planned for an Overseas min istry of militia and asked for Sir Sam's resignation.
 In forwarding the resignation Sir Sam intimated that the Canadian pre- mier wasted his time listening to the complaints of disappointed people" More than year ago, he said, he un- derstood the premier had it in con- temptation to get Sir George Perley in control in England"
 Sir Sam declared in his letter to the premier that there was no more need for separate minister of militia for England than one for a military camp in Canada. Finally regretted to have heard on excellent authority that you had it in contemplation for some time to retire to the supreme court of Canada by arrangement with the present incumbent of the chief justiceship and hand over thes Cana dian prime ministership to another under whom it is well known I would not serve."
