United States District Attorney Sul

of presenting to the federal grand Jury
the evidence against Mrs. Chadwick.
Late this afternoon he Issued sub
poenas for the witnesses who are to
appear l>efore the grand Jury, which
has already been drawn. The first of
these witnesses is Andrew Carnegie.
The others are Robert Lyon, receiv
er of the bank at Oberlln; A. B. Spear,
the cashier of the bank; the treasurer
of Oberlln College, and J. E. Bsrrett,
of Wooster, Ohio. What connection
the two last named have with the case

The matter according to the author

estate, which has Just been revealed to
the world as an absolute myth. The
written promise delivered by Mrs.
Chadwick to Beckwith was to the ef
fect that her affairs would be turned
over to the Oberlln bank July 1. 1903.
In consideration therefor President
Beckwith and Cashier Spear were to

which preceded her arrest Mrs. Chad

Illness In the afternoon but readily re

ter tonight. Her appetite Is good and
she ate three hearty meals today.
Just what has become of the money
Mrs. Chadwick Is alleged to have rais
ed on loans is a question which Is In
teresting the persons connected with
the case.
It has been claimed that three years
ago she settled $2,500,000 on her hus
band, Dr. LeRoy S. Chadwick, and that
since that time she has borrowed over
$600,000. A rumor Is current tonight
that efforts will be made at once to
locate Dr. Chadwick and his daugh
ter who sailed for Havre, France, on
the steamer Ravole, from this port
Nov. 3. They have been reported from
several places In Europe, but Mrs.
Chadwick and her attorneys have kept
their exact whereabouts a secret. An
other matter of Interest In the case Is
the statement that Dr. Chadwick Is
said to have given Herbert D. Newton
of Brookline, Mass., two checks aggre
gating $50,000 In tfarf payment for his
wife’s indebtedness, which are alleged
have come back from the bank
from which they were drawn, stamped
Without Funds."
It was Intimated today that If Dr.
Chadwick does not return from Europo
soon, these checks may figure in Inter
national proceedings.
The Ruin of the Bank.
CINCINNATI. O., Dec. 10.—An Ob
erlln special says:
In his statement of his dealings with
Mrs. Chadwick, President Beckwith
told of repeated visits to Mrs. Chad
wick when promises were made that
the money would soon be forthcoming.
Finally W. R. Bedortha, attorney for
the Oberlln bank, on his death-bed.
told several directors of the bank that
President Beckwith was involved with
Mrs. Chadwick. This wns followed hy
a trip to New York, participated In by
the president and three directors,
this occasion Attorney Powers was
with Mrs. Chadwick. Representations
were received that every arrangement
was made to settle the Oberlln claim
except the signature of Mrs. Chad
wick. This was to be forthcoming the
next day and the directors went home
satisfied. President Beckwith stayed
over but was again disappointed.
President Beckwith was never able
to get a look at the $6,000,000 securities
but his visits to the Wade bank In
Cleveland to see Cashier Reynolds,
custodian of the collateral, assured
hfm somewhat.
President Beckwith says he had sev
eral Interviews with Dr. Chadwick who
aasured him that his wife waa able to
meet her obligations. One tragic in
cident related by Beckwith In the
written confession concerns a visit to
President Beckwith, Cashier Spear and
Judge Albaugh to the Cleveland home
of Mrs. Chadwick. The two bankers
pleaded for money. Mrs. Chadwick
made more promlaes. Mr. Beckwith
was aroused to anger, and when he
saw the hopiessness of It all. he
threatened to commit suicide. Ho drew
a revolver. Mrs. Chadwick cried that
"AH would be lost" if the banker car-
51 ra. Chadwick showed me the se
curities she held,and among them was
the $500,000 note signed Andrew Carne
gie. and also the certificate signed by
Irl Reynolds which stated that he had
in hia possession $5.ooo,ooo in securi
ties belonging to Mrs. Chadwick. We
communicated with Rev. Eaton and he

"The signature on the $500,000 Car
negie note waa never verified beyond
Mrs. Chadwick’s own statements.”
Upon these representations, Mr.
Newton said, he made his loans to Mrs.
Chadwick.
funds without a scintilla of actual se
curity?”
The written confession of Beckwith
goes Into details of the explanation
made hy Mrs. Chadwick as to the man
ner in which the estate was then being
handled. The Wade Park Banking
Company of Cleveland wns used sim
ply ns a depository for the securities,
according to the tale that the Cleve
land woman mnde the bankers believe.
The estate was said by Mrs. Chadwick
to be in the hands of three trustees,
all New York men. The name of one
of them was given as William Bald
win. Mrs. Chadwick said she could
not get hold of the money except
through Baldwin, whom the banker
now' believes to be a mythical person.
Baldwin attended to all the business
of handling the Interest from the
bonds and turned U over to Mrs. Chad
wick ns it became due. The hankers
were told thnt the yenrly Income was
$750,000. Repeated efforts were made
on the part of Beckwith to get Into
communication w’th Baldwin, but they
were always unsuccessful. An excuse
wns si ways ready when Inquiry
earning Baldwin was pressed.
The Oberlln bank was -to .pe made
the trustee of the estate as noon
contract with the then alleged truatees
was ended, which was sn’d to be July
1, 1903. When July 1 of Inst year came
around matters were said to he In such
shape os to make It necessary for the
estate to remain In the same hands
for some little time longer. With the
end of their trouble* in sight nnd a
golden harvest within grasp, as the
Oberlln hankers believed, they were
put off to commence upon a period of
torturing anticipation which ended
with the closing of the doors of the
Institution and the at rest of both the
president and cashier.-

List of "Carnsgie" Notea.
CLEVELAND, O.. Dec. 10.—The fea
ture of today’s developments In the
financial transactions of Mrs. Cassle L
Chadwick, was the disclosure that she
had in possession directly or Indirectly
alleged securities to the amount of
nearly $14,000,000. These all bear the
name of Andrew Carnegie and are ns
follows:
Note held by Citizens National Bank
of Oberlln $600,000; note held by Citi
zens National Bank of Oberlln $250,
000; note admitted to exist by Presi
dent Beckwith $500,000; note held hy
Irl Reynolds $6,000,000; certificate of
trusteeship for securities, held by
Reynolds $7,500,000; totnl $11,750,000.
With this barking Mrs. Chadwick
was enabled to obtain large loans dur
ing the/ past two or three years, most
of which Waa repaid, however. The
only financial Institution that has so
fur na la known been compelled to
close on account of the woman’s deal
ings has ben the Cltfeen* National
Bank of Oberlln. the president and
cashier of which are now under Indict
ment and under bail on the charge of
misapplication of national bank funds.
The Inducement* offered the Ober
lln bank offclais were stated today to
have been the promise of Mrs. Chad
wick to Messrs. Beckwith and Spears
that their bank was to be made the
truatee of Mrs. Charwlck's $6.000,1
estate and that the bankers were each
to receive a yearly salary of $10,006 for
their services. An additional bonus
of $40,000 was promised the bank when
the loans were repaid.
Rev. Dr. Chas. A. Eaton, pastor of
the Euclid Avenue Baptist church,
through whose brother’s law firm in
Boston Mrs. Chadwick first met Mr.
Newton of Brookline, has refused to
make any reply to Mr. Newton’s state
ment today concerning the minister’s
connection with the case. Mr. Fston’s
family reports him confined to his bed
and inaccessible to Interviewers. Dr.
Eaton did. however, hear what Mr.
Newton had to say about his <New
ton’s) transactions with Mrs. Chad
wick.
The legal aspect of the case locally
has taken on a new phase today by the
appointment of a second receiver for
the Chadwick property In behalf of
Banker Newton. The appointment was
vigorously opposed by counsel, ap
pointed by the federal court a few days
ago. to take over the Chadwl* k posses
sions. An attempts injunction to pre
vent the second receiver from acting
was frustrated by his escaping service

amid a reverential population, accum
ulate treasure, and. It Is to be hoped,
some wisdom.
Col. Yotinghusbnnd, who had explor
ed Manchuria on ponies, knew well
thnt Mongols were not cowards, and
had no proof whatever that, the men
who with nothing but apsars and
swords met our Ohoorkas hand-to-
hand did not know In the least how to
avail themsslves of their natural ad
vantages or were unwilling to do so.
The idea In his camp was that Russia
had armed the Titans, and that
thousands of warriors might 90m© In
from the frontier provinces to die In
defense of their pope. Had tha Idea
been correct, the mission might hsvs
been destroyed.. Oyangtss might have
been a Saragossrf The pass of Karo
Is nnd another pass beyond It could
not have been carried if defended, ssjr,
by 2,000 Japanese; while Lass* Itself
was swarming with fanatic Lamas,
who, had they possessed that Imagin
ary Russian arsenal, might tn one mad
rush have destroyed half the advanc
ing force, and then refused food to the
remainder.
Thoss possibilities, which were djs
cussed ever)' day among the members
of the expedition, made no difference 1
to the quiet soldler-dlplomstlst. the
much-condemned Indian ’’poJItlcer’-*

Hew Japan Used PUgus Rats.
From the New York Sun.
Bishop M. C. Harris, of Jsptn. nnd
Bishop F. W. Warns, of Southern Asia,
were guests of honor at tht Methodist
preachers* meeting yesterday, and af-
r*r a aermon by the Rev. Dr. (I. C
perk, of Mt. Vernon, they spoke of
ronditlons In the East. Ulthop Harris
declared his purpose in Ne*r York to
he a search for new missionaries.
Then he went on:
'I want to say a word for Japan In
her trial. To my mind Japan had
won the war even before swords were
drawn, and as I have followed the
course of the conflict, far away as I am
from It, Japan has done belter than I
thought she would. And when she
has won that victory she seems des
tined to win. she will have laid the
foundation fnr the pence of Japnn, Chi
nn, Corea—for a pence which, I trust,
God willing will hold for u thousand
years.
"The Jupnneso have done no boast
ing: they have been too busy fighting.
And It Is a scientific war—at least, as
far as Japan Is concerned. The Japa
nese an* to carry on a winter cam
paign, I understand.
"From a friend, a young Jnpanese,
I learned the other day that soma
years ago the Japanese offered a boun
ty of two and n half cents for each
rat captured and killed. It being be
lieved that rodents carry the bubonic
plague, over a million skins were
brought In and after being disinfect
ed are now made Into winter caps
for the army. Thus, you see, evon the
Japanese rats are aiding the fight.
"Japan Is strong Imcause she has
America with her; because, too, Great
Britain has taken up her cause. It
Is well that the American people have
made the decision In regard to Japan
that they did. Ilad they not there
would havs been little use for hsr to
have tried, hereufter, to put Chris-
tlon missionaries at work there, find
America looked askance at Japan In
her fight Japan would have felt that
the Christian religion stood for lit
tle."

Salaries of Clergymon.
From Leslie's Magazine.
Some clergymen receive $1,890 z y«
for their nerylces, when the church is
a large one, situated In a growing city.
Those In the smaller towns have year
ly salaries’ranging from $400 to $1,209
—salaries • which they are not alwayn
able "to‘collect/ In a group of 200
ohureftes, Including a fair averag** of
city, small c|ty and country pariahea
In nnd shout New York, the average
salary Is $725. Such a condition H not
attractive to a young college-brM man,
who, though unselfishly earnest for tho
church, la human, with ambitions for
the comfortable home that his abMUtfx
ought Id earn. The result Is the repent
ed statement that the Inferior men mo
going into the ministry, thnt "If a man
can’t do any thing else he either t«a< «
or preaches." And yet It Is doubtful
If thsre Is a field for practical nchh \ -
fhent In America as large as thnt of
fered by the Protestant ministry.
