Her Mouth.

A woman who tried to steal a Sl25
diamond ring from a jewelry store at

right out of her prize.
Arthur ]. Sundlun, manager of the
store, got only mods and shrugs in re-
sponse to his questions when he missed
the ring while the woman was IN the
store
But Sundlun was persistent and
wanted a verbal reply, so he continued
to question the woman, whom he de-
scribed as being about As. dressed in
short sealskin jacket and black hat.
The woman finally broke her silence
and the ring dropped from her mouth.
Sundlun let her go, but described
the incident to police.

COOPER ORDERED
T0FACE TRIAL ON
FUND ACCUSATION
Indictment Involves More
Than "Bad Judgment"
Court Holds.
MANIPULATING MONEYS
is CHARGED TO BANKER
Former Commercial National
Head Holds Indictment Not
in Good Faith.

Holding the conduct of Col. Wade
~ Cooper as described in an indict-
ment pending against him means
more than the use of bad judgment"
Justice Oscar r. Luhring ruled in
District Supreme Court today that the
former president of the Commercial
National Bank must stand trial on
charges of misapplying funds of that
institution.
The indictment alleged that Cooper
while serving as president of both
the Commercial National Bank and
the Continental Trust Co. manipu-
lated funds of the former institution
so as to give the trust company large
credits to which it was not entitled.
Charges Lack of Good Faith.
Cooper attacked the indictment on
several grounds. one of which was that
the charge was not brought against
him in good faith, but only to discredit
him in civil litigation between himself
and the Treasury Department. Cooper
charged the controller of the currency
informed the Court of Appeals he was
under indictment in an effort to i'm
pede his suit to regain control Of the
United States Savings Bank. He also
alleged the charges against him were
so vague and indefinite that he could
not properly prepare defense and
could not protect himself by a plea of
former jeopardy in case similar charges
should be brought against him in the
future. He also contended there was
no showing before the grand jury that
he had willfully misapplied the funds
of the bank
Improper Use of Money"
In this connection, Justice Luhring
said:
The conduct described in the in
dictment meant more than that the
defendant used bad judgment with
reference to these transactions. It was
obviously an improper and unjuSti-
fable use of the moneys, funds and
credit of the bank, and there was the
likelihood and probability that the
bank would lose. This conduct is de-
nounced by the law as a willful mis-
application. The indictment in my
ment. 1t contains every element of
the offense intended to be charged
that is. willful misapplication of the
funds or credits of the bank, with the
intent to injure and defraud the bank.
The manner in which this was ac-
complished is clearly and definitely
stated and sufficiently appraises the
defendant of what he must be pre-
pared to meet"
The Government was represented
during the argument in support of
the indictment by Assistant U. S. At
torneys John w. Fihelly and Irwin
GoldStein.
1t is expected Col. Cooper's case will
be set down for trial within the next
few months.

Of the plans, but the one subjected

THE TOMATO TARIFF
fort Myers News-Press1

NA'AsJ
In a protest registered at Washing
ton this week by Florida delegation APP
pearing against reduction in the tariff
on Cuban tomatoes. some of the most eff
fective material was furnished by Collier
county. Practically every interest in the.
county joined in supplying data on the
benefits Of the tomato growing industry
and in warning of the disastrous effect
which would result from any tampering
withsthe existing tariff.
I. The showing left no doubt that it
would visit an irreparable misfortune on
an undertaking which is not only all
American but largely patriotic in its in
ception. Following passage Of the tariff
act of 1880 an opportunity was seen to de-
velop in the lower Everglades an agri-
cultural industry which would take up the
unemployment slack then beginning to be-
come acute. Preparations were begun to
such good purpose that in the federal CEN
sus that year only one unemployed person,
was listed in Collier county. Under the
weight of the national depression that re-
markable record could not be maintained
but the developments of the tomato indus
try greatly mitigated the Distress THAT,
otherwise would have. afflicted Labor. lin
Collier county and this general region. i
Having founded a successful enter
prise on an act of congress it is unthink
able that the government should now step
in and destroy it. That, beyond question,
is what will be done if the tomato tariff is
lowered. Previous experience has demon
strated that American wages and re.
quired commercial practices cannot COM
pete with the peon labor of Latin American
countries. Even on land as prolific as the
lower Everglades the cost of production
and marketing is materially in excess of
Cuban competition.
This differential has been equalized
by the present tariff. As long as the eur
.ers can compete with Cuba. When they
lose that protection they necessarily must
abandon the field.
That is the case in nutshell and it
is one government authorities cannot
ignore. That they are not likely to do so
was indicated in a reassuring telegram re-
ceived after the hearing by d. Graham
Copeland of Everglades from George S.
Fletcher who headed the Florida dele
cation. Mr.. Fletcher was plainly of the
opinion that the case had been won.
The matter was before a committee
which is considering items to go into pro.
posed reciprocity treaty with Cuba. To.
stimulate our foreign trade the plan is to.
admit imports of things Cuba has to sell in.
return for exports of American manufac-
tured products. President Roosevelt has
authority to negotiate such treaty. AS
he has always taken a stand favorable to
the protection of American agriculture it,
would seem that he can be depended upon
not to bring about the ruin Of one of the
few farming operations which is managing
to get by. a.e
