CINCINNATI. June 16. The ending of a sensational trial came today when attorneys representing both sides In the case of Arthur Cooke, charged with embesxling 124.000 from the Big Four Railroad, aald they would fore-J go arguments. In the court It was announced instructions would be, given the Jurors tomorrow morVlng. The action of the attorneys created surprise, as It was thought each side would attempt to reconcile conflicting testimony. Apparently, however, each side was certain of success and willing; to let the facts of Mrs. Jeanette Stew art Ford's relations to various officials of the railway speak for themselves in determining the guilt or Innocence of Cooke. Defense Begins and Ends. The defense was begun and ended to day and Cooke himself gave practi cally the entire testimony upon which It rests. He denied emphatically that he had ever stolen a dollar from the Big Four or committed any dishonest act In his life. Ha also denied be was aware that Charles 1 Warriner was short 1(43.000, that the accounts of Frank Comstock, Warrlner's predecessor, were not what they should have been or that there waa anything Irregular In the conduct of the corporation.

Cooke Tells of Letters. Much of the cross-examination was devoted to questioning Cooke regarding the meaning of certain letters which he had written Mra Ford. Cooke declared that references In them to money mat ters were written with a view to mis leading Mrs. Ford and to keep ber from making demands on him. Tie said' he reallv was not without funds as he wrote, but he only told Mrs. Ford so to make her believe he was poor and took smart sums from ber with the same purpose In mind. "II1 you get any money rrom war rlnerr' he was asked. -Yes. to pay Mrs. Ford's bills. "How muchw-a thousand dollars?" "Oh. that would not be anything." Cook said he had no Idea how much money Warriner had given him for Mrs. Ford's expenses. Memory Is Faulty. Cooke's memory also was faulty when he waa asked to tell for what names certain Initials used In one letter -were meant. He explained them by saying that It probably was part of his "stage plajr to deceive Mrs. tora. "Did rou ever have any money planted anywhere?" asked Assistant Prosecutor Dennis Cash. 'No. I did not." said Cooke. 'What did you mean In those letters to Mrs. Cooke In Cincinnati saying you hd to cross the river to get the stuff?" "I don't remember anything about that. I must have made that out of wh.le cloth." At the conclusion of Cooke s testi mony, he said he and prosecutor Hunt had gone over all of Cooke's letters to Mrs. Ford. This closed the examina tion.

The fact of the matter Is that In surgency Is not so popular as It once was This Is shown by the desire of Insurgents to be known hereafter as "progressives." The word "Insurgent has become distasteful to them as It has become unpopular throughout the country, and they always style them selves "progressives." But while this ,.. hn -rolng on. President Taft has shown that he Is decidedly "progres sive" In his ideas, and will go as far as any reasonable Insurgent to promote progressive Ideas of government. He will not go to the extent of taking up freak Ideas, but neither will the better element among the Insurgents. So -that, after two years of haggling; President Taft and most of the Insurgents find themselves working In harmony In the main, though differing on some particu lar Issues. But so far as the Republic can party. Its welfare and Its future are concerned, the President and a vast majority of the Insurgents are now working shoulder to shoulder.

Pryce says that he left Southern California several weeks ago. He be lieved the Insurrection was ended and be had no further occasion to remain longer.

Therefore they will have the alternative of sup porting the Democratic nominee or the 1 nominee of some inconsequential party, or staying out of the campaign alto- j gether. There wouia seem to De no pos sibility of building up a formidable new party In the year intervening before the Republican National Convention la held. La Follette Slay Be for Wilson.' It Is currently reported that La Follette will support Woodrow Wilson, If he Is nominated by the Democrats. Perhaps Bourne and Bristow would do likewise. These three men are today more Demo crats than Republicans In their politi cal Ideas, and more Socialistic than Democratic. For all that, all three as pire to be delegates to the next Re publican National Convention, so that they may at least voice their opposition to Taft. La Follette probably can con trol the Wisconsin delegation, but there Is considerable doubt whether Bourne can dominate the delegation from Ore gon or Bristow the delegation from Kan sas. Even so, the delegations from these three states will be swamped In the con vention. If the present view of the situa tion Is correct, and If nothing occurs in the next year to check the belated Krowth of Taft's popularity. On this subject the Washington Star says: "Senator Bourne Is expected to keep up opposition to the renomination oi President Taft. but the latter's friends assert that the Oregon Senator will not be able to control tke delegation of tha state, and consequently feel that the flcht of Mr. Bourne will be fruitless, ivi If not farcical. Mr. Bourne's tenac ity in sticking to a lost cause Is referred to by those who remember that he was practically the lone man in tne Kepon lican convention at Chicago three years airo to Insist that Roosevelt should b renominated. At the same time he Is sued most gloomy forebodings at rapid periods as to the defeat of Taft If nomi nated.

It Is predicted that tha petition will soon carry more than the amount of names required by law to recall Judge Coke.
