. Secrets in Life of Jean-j-

; Man Whose Real Xame Is Linked
, With Blackmailing Plot In AVar
riner's $2,000,000 Shortage to
' : Face Railroad Officials.
I CHICAGO. Nor. li (Special.) 6ecrets
' "in the life of Mrs. Jeannette Stewart
' Ford, alleged caatoff "affinity" and now
, said to be the chief accuser of Edgar S.
, Cooke, whoae name la linked with a
blackmailing plot In the J2.0OO.OOO short
' ace of Charlea L Warriner. treasurer of
the Big Four Railroad In Cincinnati, were
' revealed today by her former secretary.
Martha Polk, a 23-year-old octoroon girl.
' who Uvea with her mother at 3506 State
atreet.
A life of luxury and ease, combined
" with travel, sometimes a week In a fash-
lonable hotel, often with suites In two
hostelrles at one time, with a small army
' of servants, maids, nurses, butlers and
' lackeys, fell to the lot of Mrs. Ford, but
'. with It all she was unhappy.
Worried When In Luxury.
' "Generous, warm-hearted, and congen-
lal. Mrs. Ford worried much over her
clothes." said Miss Polk, "and sometimes
'. walked the floor for hours, sometimes
half the night, debating with herself as
' to what gown she would wear In the
morning, or to luncheon, to the theater.
; a dinner afterward, or to appear In the
.street on a business errand.
"A blackmail plot?" repeated the young
' .woman. "Well. I don't know about it.
:And a Mr. Cooke I never heard of him.
Mrs. Ford waa liberal and had lots of
money. Where she got It I don't know.
. ;if she visited the Big Four officials and
got blackmail money. I never knew It.
' besides, the source of her Income never
concerned me. She waa always good pay.
Cooke Defies Accusers.
"I spent hundreds of dollars and han
died big sums for her. There waa always
lots of money In sight," resumed Miss
Polk.
Cooke today planned to gc to Cincinnati
and face officers of the road and Mrs.
Ford and to defy them to prove that he
extorted $lo0.i or any other sum from
- Warriner. "Serious charges have been
made ngainst me." said Cooke, "and I am
Teady to go to Cincinnati and defy them
all. I will go without extradition."
OLD LEADERS REJECTED
(Continued from First Page.)
conditions, it would appear that Conners,
like Murphy, is slated for retirement.
"Who will be the new state leader?" re
peated a prominent member of the Sara
toga conference when asked this question.
"Well. I do not believe that any of us
are in a position to take sides at the
present moment. The first thing to do is
to build tip a strong oraniaation. The
" right man to direct' It will develop at the
proper time.
"People who shout about the 'crushing
Democratic defeat" in New York City do
; not know what they are talking about.
It was a Tammany rout, and that Is a
' far different thing from a Democratic de
., feat.
"Past history has demonstrated that,
while men may be elected as non-partl-sans.
they can always. If successful, be
relied upon to put In their best licks In
,' atate and National camtalgns for the or
ganizations with which they usually
train. Governor Hughes Is the nearest
approach to a non-partisan we ever had
' In this state, but a year ago he took the
stump for Taft. When the Fuslonlsts
carried the Beard of Aldermen In 1906. It
wa only a few months before there were
no Fuslonists. only Republicans and Dem
ocrats. "Next to the Mayor, the men who have
the most patronage are the borough presi
dents, and four of the five In Greater New
York are Democrats. Cromwell, of the
7 unimportant borough of Richmond, being
tfie only Republican.
Nonpartisans Really Democrats.
v, "These Iemocrats are loudly nonpartl
.! Mn now. but where will they be next
year? Does it not etand to reason that
they will work for the success rather than
- the def.-at of their party. Would they
" prefer a good Democrat or a good Repub-
- Mean as Hughes' successor at Albany?
The answer Is obvious.
"Mind I do not mean to say th: these
- men w;i! become vassals of Tammany
...Hall, like Aharn ami Haffen. But the
- places in their gift will go to high-class
Democrats, and If they act wisely they
will do more harm to the Republican or-
ganlzatlon than could be inflicted by a
" score of Murphys.
A "John Purroy Mltchel, president-elect
of the Board of Aldermen, Is another
striking personality. He is an uncompro
, mislng foe of graft and thoroughly
equipped for almost any public office. Do
not be surprised If you see him on the
state ticket next year.
' "Ex-Lieutenant-Governor Lewis Stuy-
vesant Phanler will also be heard
from. He has turned Dutchess from a
. Republican to a Democratic county, and
, was elected to the Assembly this Fall.
"We expect some Interesting developments
," from Albany this Winter."
Although the leadership question Is far
from settled, a number of names have al
ready cropped up. Among them are
Thomas M. Osborn. a member of the up-
state Public Service Board and ex-Mayor
- of Auburn. He was one of the prime
movers In the Saratoga conference. Oth
'. ers are, Edward M. Shepard and Augus
e tus Van Wyck. who helped to reorganize
the Brooklyn Democracy, and won a vlc
. tory after the death of. Senator McCarren.
Phepard was once defeated for Mayor of
1 New York, while Van Wyck, an ex-Jus-
tice of the Supreme Court, was beaten
for Governor in 1S?S by Theodore Rooee-
wit.
in the Republican camp, the outlook is
" nearly as bad. The Brooklyn G. O. P.
t la snarling at Leader Timothy L. Wood-
ruff, who only nominally lives In the
T county. Hie foes are making "absentee
rulershlp" their slogan, but the real rea-
son is that their county ticket was beat
v en. and the regulars are left without
patronage.
Woodruff was so convinced he had a
walkover that he absolutely declined to
" make any "nonpartisan" concessions.
- When John Purroy Mltchel declared he
would get off the ticket unless a Demo
crat was named for borough president.
Woodruff conceded that point. Then the
Hearst men offered to indorse the re-
. malnder of their ticket in return for a
like favor to their candidate for the Su
preme Court. WoodrufT refused, and the
v Hearst men went It alone except for
. Steers, candidate for borough president.
' In the final round-up Woodruff lost every
'. candidate on til borough county ticket
except Steers.
In New York County there ara mutter
against Parsons, because, he only
elected Democrats to office. In Queens
the G. O. P. ran alone and ended up
third; John Raines, leader In the senate,
lost his Assemblyman in the rock-ribbed
Republican county of Ontario. Vice
President Sherman, who dictated the re
nomination of a Supreme Court Justice,
saw his candidate beaten by 15,000 In a
district that la normally 10.000 Republi
can. Speaker of the Assembly James W.
Wadsworth got In by the akin of his
teeth In a county two to one Republican.
Every "offensive partisan" head was hit,
and every head is sore.
United States Bllhu Root Is supposed
to be the Republican etate leader. His
voice was not hoard during the cam
paign. He has not uttered any ringing
statements since. But the presumption
Is that he is doing some mighty hard
thinking.
Hearst, Alone, Is Happy.
With Woodruff discredited. Parsons
facing a mutiny, and Raines and Wads
worth badly beaten up. it looks as If
there would be some new faces in the po
litical line-up next year.
The only happy politician In the state
is Wiillam Randolph Hearst. He regards
his vote of 15.1.fl. obtained without or
ganization or the expenditure of money,
as the greatest possible personal tribute.
Also he demonstrated that his held the
balance of power in all five boroughs.
It is a peculiar thing that every man
Hearst Indorsed (except a few Aesembly
and Aldermanlc candidates) waa elected.
He beat Murphy's county ticket in New
York, beat Woodruff in Brooklyn, and
beat both old parties In Queens.
"Of course the boss waa beaten him
self," said one Hearst man. "But that
always happens. He expects It, and this
time he was really glad of It"
PROBE FAILS TO CLEAR
MYSTERY SURROUNDS POUBLE
TRAGEDY AT ALCATRAZ.
Man Falls From Window and His
Best Friend Shoots Himself
Rather Than Tell.
BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12. Searching
Inquiry Into the death of Thomas Mul
laly, clerk of B Company, of the United

grating below. Ford, who was In the
room at the time, locked himself In the
company's storeroom, when he ascer
tained that Mullaly was dead, and shot
himself through the head when an effort
was made to force the door.
Mullaly and Ford were room-matea and
apparently good friends, aocording to
their comrades. The former waa seated
in the company rea.iing-room last night
when Ford appeared at the door and
asked to speak to him privately. They
retired to their own room, end a few
moments later Mullaly was heard to cry
out In fear and his body crashed against
the iron grating below. All of the wit
nesses examined declare no sounds of a
quarrel were heard.
There haa been no evidence of Ill-feeling
between the men at any time.

Government Indicts Benderna
gle in Connection With
Weighing Frauds. .
"BIG SIX" ALSO IN BLANKET
Indictment Relates Fraudulent De
vices on Scales at Docks to De-
' fraud Bond of $5000
Put Cp in Cash.
NEW YORK. Not. 12. After months of
quiet work by the Government Investi
gators, who have been scrutinizing the
ins and outs of the- complicated sugar
frauds, there came suddenly today the In
dictment and arrest of an ex-oftioial of
the American Sugar Refining Company
on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the
Government by false weighing of sugar.
The man arrested Is James F. Bender
nagle, for more than 30 years superinten
dent of the Havemeyer and Elder Re
finery In VJUlamsbung, the largest plant
of the American Sugar Refining Company.
When arraigned before United States
Commissioner Benedict and asked to give
15000 bail for his appearance next Mon
day, Bendernagle produced the required
amount In cash.
"Big Six" Also Charged.
The Indictment returned against' Bender
nagle Is of the blanket variety. Including
in its terms also the so-called "Big Six"
Oliver Spitxer, Thomas Kehoe. Edward
A. Boyle, Jean M. Voelker, John B. Coyle
and Patrick J. Hennessey, all of whom
have been previously Indicted on similar
charges. The six were Bendernagle'a as
sistants In the capacity of agents and
boss weighers at the Williamburg plant.
The specific charges against Bender
nagle are that he defrauded the Gov
ernment out of duty to the amount of
$1694 In connection with the false entry
of the .000,000-pound sugar cargo of the
steamer Eva, which arrived from Cuba on
August 4. 1907.
Real Weight Clipped.
A little more than 100,000 pounds were
clipped off the real weight when the cus
toms charges were computed, according
to allegations of the indictment.
At one point, the indictment relates the
old charges made agnrist four members
of the so-called "big i." alleging the
use of fraudulent devices on the scales
at the docks to short weight sugar. It
was in connection with these charges that
the Government last Spring recovered
$2,135,000 in duties and penalties.
