NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The expected
did not happen tonight in the Chad
wick case and all predictions proved at
fault when at a late hour it was an
nounced that no conference between
federal officers and Andrew Carnegie
had been held at the latter’s home.
This turn was surprising, for Mr.
Carnegie had announced in the course
of the day that he would be glad to
receive a federal officer and it was
supposed that F. F. Oldham, represent
ing the comptroller of the currency,
would meet him tonight, and that the
matter of the notes alleged to have
been given Ira Reynolds of Cleveland
and said to bear the name of Andrew
Carnegie would eb discussed.
As unexpected ns the news that no
conference was held was the departure
of Mrs. Chadwick from the Holland
House, where she has resided, for the
New Amsterdam hotel. She was ac
companied by her son and a maid and
took with her some baggage. Secret
service men who have been at the Hol
land House for several days followed
Mrs. Chadwick,
Developments Today.
Andrew Squires, a Cleveland attor
ney, representing Ira Reynolds, made
the announcement tonight after seve
ral conferences with Receiver Lyon,
Mr. Oldham and others that he believ
ed there would be no further develop
ments In the case before tomorrow and
alsb said that Mr. Oldha inhad return
ed to Washington. This announcement
was the first Indication that there:
would not be a meeting at Mr. Carne
gie's home tonight.
Stories of a possible arrest In the
case were still current this evening,
but so far as known no warrant has
been Issued.
Lawyer Carpenter, one of Mrs.
Chadwick's counsel In New York, de
clined to give.the results of the num
erous conferences today. Percy W.
.Carver, counsel for Herbert D. New
ton. In an interview with an Associat
ed Press representative, said that tho
Newton claim had not been paid and
that no new assurances had been given
ns to Its payment, nnd George W. Ry-
all, associated with Mr. Carver, gaev
no now Information beside confirming
the story that he had been in confer
ence with Mrs. Chadwick today. As
to the subject of their talk he declined
to make any statement.
Mrs. Chadwick Fainted.
' It was about 10 p. m., when Mrs.
Chadwick, with her son and maid, left
nn elevator in the Hollnnd House and
took a cab. She walked slowly and
f her actions Indicated that she has not
fully recovered from her recent Indio
position.
As soon as Mrs. Chadwick's cab
left the hotel, secret service men took
other vehicles and* drove after her.
At the New Amsterdam hotel she
was helped Into the women's reception
room, where she fainted. After some
five minutes the woman was able to
walk again and clinging to her son’s
arm she went to the elevator and was
shown to h room on the first'floor.
The son and maid carried Mrs.
Chadwick's baggage. The son returned
to the reception room for the baggage,
after he had taken his mother to her
room and the secret service men held
him in conversation for some minutes
nnd then let him go. He went back to
his mother. The detectives refused to
eay what they had nsked.
Was Very III.
8hort!y before midnight Mrs. Chad
wick’s son went to the public. tele
phone in the hotel And called up Dr.
Albertus A. Moore. He asked the phy
sician to hurry at once to his mother
who he said was very 111. Dr. Moor*
•aid later:
"Mrs. Chadwick Is suffering from
nervous prostrutton, the result of her
removal from the Holland House to
this hotel and being followed by secret
service men and reporters.’
One of the hotel clerks said the son
had told him his mother was In a crit
ical condition from nervousness. The
coach used by Mrs. Chadwick, her son
and the maid was driven to Gramercy
Park after leaving the party.
From present indications every ef
fort wil) be made by Mrs. Chadwick’s
friends tomorrow to settle the case.
It was said tonight by one Interested
In her affairs that Mrs. Chadwick has
at the present time much more than
enough to settle those claims which
have been brought up to this tlmS.
•Her counsel said today that she
worth over $1,000,000.
Wouldn't Talk of Notes.
NEW YORK. Dec. Frank Lyon,
receiver of the Oberlln bank, arrived
In this coty today accompanied by F.
F. Oldham, counsel representing the
comptroller’s offlee at Washington.
Mr. Lyon would neither affirm or deny
that he had with him the two notes
for $750,000 bearing the name of An
drew Carnegie. He declared that his
business was not with Mr, Carnegie.
Mr. Oldham had a long interview
with Mr. Lyon late today. Neither
would make any statement, except to
admit that the subject of converse
tlon* bad been the use of Mr. Carne
gle's name on the notes now held by

Judge Brucker twice With an interval
of six months between and on the sec

ported to be a receipt for a $30,000
feo In a case signed by Virgil P. Kline,
a well known Cleveland lawyer. This
receipt was exhibited by the woman
after she had offered to retain Judge
Brucker under fee of $10,000.
This story was tent out by The As
sociated Press, and Judge Rtucker ts
now In receipt of a letter from Virgil
P. Kline stating that he never signed
a receipt for $30,000 nnd if the Chad
wick woman showed one It was a
forgery. Judge Brucker, however, re-
Iterntes that he was shown one by the
woman.
The letter from Virgil Kline to
Brucker says that he had some legal
business with Mrs. Cassle Chadwick
but the fee she paid him was not $39,*
000 or anywhere near as large as that.
This is the first time the alleged $30,-

LONDON, Dec. 6.—In dlacUsalng
the prospect of the Anglo- American
arbitration treaty, Sir Thomas Barclay,
who has been prominently Identified
with* the work of promoting amity be
tween nations, said to the Associated
Press today.
"The treaty of 1897 was defeated by
twenty-six senators, many of whom
were influenced by Michael
believe that auch a treaty would delay
the solution of home rule for Ireland.
Today no one can possibly couple the
question of home rule with the ques-
tln of adopting peaceful, business like
methods for dealing with International
difficulties. If the majorlt
tJnlted States sennte should thwart the
progress of arbitration today when the
minds of nil men nre shock
horros of the war In the far East nnd
when nil realize how Indispensable It is
to promote pacific methods of settle
ment of difficulties between nations,
there would be nn outcry throughout
the world nnd they would be disgraced
In the eyes of nil mankind. I know
positively that several senators who
votod against the treaty of 1897 will
vote for the treaty of arbitration,
would cite the case of Senator Morgan
of Alabama, who told me he had alter
ed his views since 1897. I am perfect
ly sure that Senators Money nnd Ha-
con nre now good friends of tho
treaty."
PANAMA RAILWAY,
Taft Says Documont Issued by Him
Was a Mistake,
PANAMA, Dec. A.—A supplemental
agreement signed today between Bed-

and Foreign Minister Gunrdla, pro
vides that nfter December 12 no car
goes can he landed at the canal port*
except when presenting a Panama con
sular Invoice from the port of ship
ment.
The original plans for a popular
demonstration In the public square In
celebration of the ratification of the
agreement were carried out laat night.
Secretary Taft made a speech dur
ing which he criticised the order,
which he, said he himself had Issued,
putting In force the Dlngley tariff be
tween the canal zone and the Isthmus,
.ns being a mistake. The frktlon be-'
tween the two governments wns un
doubtedly caused by that order. It
was fair to say that the order was
made against the recommendation of
Governor Davis. Ho felt sure that a
reading.of the agreement would satisfy
every Impartial perr.cn that the United
States hnd no desire to acquire any
powers or property in the Isthmus ex
cept such as necessary to r .dld, main
tain and protect the canal.
Pablo Arosemenn. the Liberal leader,
expressed satisfaction with the agree

granting a new trial wair; v
Because of improper remarks mode
by the late attorney for the common
