Cooke, who was found not guilty of embezzling $24,000 from the Big Four railway, was formerly local treasurer of the road in Cincinnati and was well known in railroad cir cles. The belief Is that the judge's charge helped to free Cooke, Judge Hunt declaring the testimony of Mrs. Ford and of Warriner only masle them equally guilty if Cooke were guilty. Cooke was the last of those indict ed in connection with the $643,000 shortage of Charles L. Warriner, Cin cinnati treasurer of the road, to be tried. First Warriner, indicted on nu merous charges, pleaded guilty to one charging the embezzlement of $5,000. He was sentenced to six years in prison. I Then Mrs. Jeannette Stewart-Ford, accused o! blackmailing Warriner, was tried \in February, 1910. The jury in )r case disagreed.

Coinci dentally with the revolution in Mexico headed by Madero there broke out a revolt against Mexican authority in Lower California and one of those who encouraged it and helped to finance it was Ferris. A filibustering expedition itted out by Ferris left San Francisco for Lower California and without much of a struggle the weakened au thority of Mexico was ovorthrown and the republic of Lower California cro ated. Of this new wepublic Ferris has been elected president. Ferris was a "newsy" on the streets of Washington twenty years ago and found the battle of life a hard one.

Twcnty years ago justice llarlan purchased a half of a city block on a 11111 overlooking Washington, and there built a flue, old-fashioned, rain bling home of brick, with wide porches. When he took possession an unobstructed view of the city below and the absence of noise and the com motion of city life made the spot ideal for the home of a justice. Although lie Is in the midst of the city today, he manages to keep about the house the atmosphere of the coun try. The trees which he plantei in the side, front and rear yards havn grown to maturity. A great hedge e.crM27cM f4Jv circles the grounds, and in spite of he evidences of the city on all sidles, the piivacy of a country home is mna in I ained.
