Moody in his annual report to congress recommends the enactment of a law which will provide In substance that where an indictment is duly returned to a court of the United States, the Judge of that court ... . may in his discretion issue a bench ered some one on tht blind baggage ♦»,« a* f » n A_ car shortly after the train left Needles and had been about to open the door when a man, whom he took to be a negro, broke open the door and en tered.

Dishonorably Dicharged. WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.—The war department has directed that recruit Stephen Putney, Jr„ of the general service, Jefferson barracks, Missouri, be discharged without honor from the army on the ground that he enlisted under false pretenses. Putney Is a young Virginian who re cently got into trouble at St. Louis, resulting in the loss of all his money. One of the stories was thgt he had been kidnapped and robbed of some valuable Jewels and that he enlisted in the army while suffering from the effects of a drug given him by the kidnappers. Tom Got a Vote. COLUMBIA. S. C.. Dec. 5.—The of ficial vote of South Carolina for presi dent follows; Parker, 52.86S; Roosevelt, 2,271; Debs (Social Democrat). 22; Watson, (Popu list), 1.. warrant for the arrest of the defend ants wherever they may be found within the territorial limits of the United States. The attorney general explains that much embarrassment In the adminis tration of the law has arisen from the inability of the United States to bring nn offender to the place and the court where by the constitution and laws the accusation against him must be tried. Mr. Moody cites a number of cases under the present law in which Jus tice has been defeated or greatly, de layed and large expense unnecessarily incurred by the government# Among these enses is that of the co defendants with Capt. Oberlln M. Car ter in the Savannah harbor improve ment frauds. Mr. Moody outlines the proceedings and says that only after a delay of 26 months did the United States reach the point where, under the law. It was permitted to take men charged with a grave crime to the place provided by the constitution for their trial. Then the 1 two defendants whose presence was most desired fled the country and although persistent and continued effort for their recovery has been made they are still at large. Until they shall be apprehended It has been deemed undesirable to proceed with the trial of the other defendants upon tho Indictment.

CLEVELAND. Dec. 5.—Seated in the office of tho United States district at torney this afternoon In this city Presi dent C. T. Beckwith, of the failed Cltl- «' National Bank of Oberlln, tnnde confession regarding the bank'i transactions with Mrs. Cassia L. Chad wick. Mr. Beckwith said: "1 anveither np awful dupe or a ter rible fool. 1 guess there Is no doubt about my being a fool.. I know I have done wrong, nnd nlthough crushed to the earth myself 1 do not propose to be made a scapegoat to shield the sins of Others. The truth Is that others also must be called to the bar to answer for their part In this terrible affair and one of those whose answer must be had is Mrs. Ckssie U Chadwick." Beckwith Much Affected- The banker spoke In broken seh- tencea and tears were streaming from hla eyes. Hla acquaintance with Mrs. Chadwick began three yearn ago. The attorneya for Herbert D. Newton, the Brookline. Maas., hanker, have stated that their client loaned Mrs. Chad wick money only after a note algnfcd Andrew Carnegie" had been endorsed by the president and cashier of a na tional bunk.. The men who endorsed the note were President Beckwith and Cashier Spear of the Cltlsena' Na tional Bank, of Oherlln, Ohio. Relating this matter, Banker Beck with continued Ills story of the hank's transactions with Mrs. Chadwick as follows: Yes, we endorsed the note In addi tion to one other note for $600,000, but never for tho purpose for which they were used." 'Do you mean to ssy that there sre two $500,000 no*es In addition to the note for $250,0007" was asked Mr. Beckwith. "Yes, notes aggregating $1,250,000.** "It him not been generally under stood that there were two notes for $500,000" was suggested.. Mrs. Chsdwick’s Oath. “I know It, I know it, but the notes exist Just the same," said Mr. Beck with. "One of them Is In the hands of the receiver and the other bnght to he In the hands of Mrs. Chadwick. If she has disposed of It she has done something which she swore she would not do. Ho please make It plain that a solemn oath was taken that the notes which bear our endorsement were never to be used by Mrs. Chadwick for the purpose of raising money and she knew It.” "Mr. Beckwith, to correct uny wrong Impression would it not be wise for you to state how Mrs. Chadwick In duced you to place your sf/piature upon the notes?" “My God, I would like to If t thought It would make It dear. To tel! the rtt'i y would bo to tell the talc of tor ture and Iransartlons covering a period nt over a year. I cannot fell the story before I go on the witness stand. I must seek advice.” "Did you have the slightest simple don that the notes carrying the name of Andrew Carnogie were not gen uine?” A Mysterious Attorney. "In heaven's name, how could we have had suspicion? Mrs, Chadwick awore to both of ua and one or more witnesses that she pcrsonnlly saw Mr. Carnegie sign his name to tho notes But we said How are wo to know? The answer ciyne In less than two days when a New York attorney appeared In Oherlln who said he was the attorney of Mr. Cnrnegle—his spe cial agent. Ho vouched for the cor rectness of the claims made by Mrs. Chadwick. In every way we attempted to make certain that we wore engaged In a legitimate business transaction.” "How about the attest held by Ira Reynolds; did you see him?" Mr. Beckwith was asked. "Yes, many times, nnd what did we understand? We understod by every word that everything was nil right nnd that genuine necurlties were lock ed up In the vaults of the Wade Park Bank. I don't knotf now. Why don’t somobody And out; thtit In the ques tion; Why don't somebody find out?)' Leads Into d Maze. “Just now I can see buck to the first time 1 tame to Know Mrs. Chad wick In a business w.»y, It wns some thing over a’year ago that I horned that W. B. Fky and Henry Wurst of Elyria had had some dealings with Mrs. Chadwick. They were known ns shrewd business men. I began to In quire, for ns n business man I wanted to exert every effort to turn an honest dollar. I guess my inqurles reached tho ears of Mrs. Chadwick. At nny rate, she cnm<> to Oberlln and It was there the thing began. I begun look ing for legitimate business. Mrs. Chadwick? Well, you must Judge for yourself. A second Interview and I made a small loan. It was promptly met. In addition we. secured consid erable splendid business. From there on the story lends Into a maze the end of which I wish to God I could now see." 1 Moaning aloud an1 stopping to mop the sweat from his brow, the counte nance of the hanker suddenly lighted "Man, do you think that woman could have executed the name of An drew Cnrnegle upon those notes? She may have done so, but If so she Is gifted with far more than nn ordinary cunning. How could we suspect any thing wrong? She Mould sign state ments almost without rending them. And through It all she appeared al most like a child. "1 remember one statement she signed particularly. It was a state ment to the effect that no person hnd any claim upon tho securities she claimed to possess. We wanted u written statement. *' 'Anything to make you perfectly ensured,'" she said an she signed the papers. Secret Service Men on Duty. Mrs. Cassis L.
