Chad wick came to-night when she was placed under arrest in her apartments at the Hotel Breslin, charged with aid ing and abetting a bank officer in em bezzling $12,500. The arrest was made after a lengthy conference between United States Commissioner Shields, Assistant United States District Attorney E. E. Baldwin, Secret Service Agent William J. Flynn and United States Marshal ■ ; PHILIP CAHPKJSTEIL 41p of thr AttorneyM In fhf Cliinl wlck Cano. "'Mlam Henkel. Commissioner Shields issued the warrant, which charges a ■violation of section of the United States federal laws, relating to con spiracy. There was a scene In the woman's toom when the officials announced to Mrs. Chadwick that she was under arrest. A maid opened the door and "hen asked by Agent Flynn for Mrs. •'hadwlck, the woman appeared. Her son stood by and witnessed, with a blank face, the scene which followed. He stepped to his mother's side as *be burst into tears, but said nothing. Henkel Arrested Her. Marshal Henkel, who. with his depu tes and United mates Secret Service Agent William J. Flynn, grouped In the door of Mrs. Chadwick's apart ments, had entered without knocking, found her In bed. He said: "Madame, I have an unpleasant duty to perform, I am obliged to serve a warrant for your arrest issued by United State* Commissioner Shields at **'• instance of the federal authorities •f Ohio.'' "I tun very nervous and in," replied SutMima!) ittorning Mrs. Chadwick. “What shall I do? I certainly am unable to get up.” “In that case,” said the marshal, "I shall be obliged to remain here and keep you under surveillance. You will realize that unpleasant as this Is for both of us, you are a prisoner, and I have no right to leave you here alone. I will do everything I can to relieve you of annoyance, however.” Her Lawyer Appeared. When the conference was in progress, a man, believed to be Mr. Powers, one of Mrs. Chadwick’s counsel, entered the room and began to advise her. He advised her to stay in bed and under no circumstances to leave the room. Marshal Henkel took exception to the advice, and said: “If Mrs. Chadwick needs any advice as a prisoner I’ll give it to her. No attempt will be made to move her from here to-night, but she must go before Commissioner Shields in the morning.” The secret service men engaged a room adjoining Mrs. Chadwick's suite and established themselves there for the night, while one of the marshal’s men was posted in Mrs. Chadwick's bed room, one outside her door and another in the corridor. Marshal-Hen kel said he w-ould remain in direct su pervision of things ail night. Well Enough to Appear. George W.

He whispered with her for a moment and then left the room. Soon after the arrest, and before it was known whether Mrs. Chadwick would be taken from the hotel at once or not. the hotel management sent to Mrs. Chadwick a bill for the rooms up to to-day. She paid it and the bill was returned to her receipted. By permission of the marshal, Mrs. Chadwick telephoned to her physician, Dr. Moore, to come to her at once. He arrived a few moments later. The physician said that although he had ud vlsed her several days ago to go to a sanitarium, she would be able to ap pear to-morrow morning before the United Stutes commissioner. IJ. J.

Sensation Produced in ilie Six-Day Rncc at Mu<lison Simarr Garden. Five of the Het Ten him Protested Auainst n Lap Doing' Given An other Team—Claimed Bnles Vlo luted—Protestants Pnt Out of the Garden. New York. Dec. 7.—Angry because they believed the race was being un fairly conducted and because methods which they allege to be wrong allowed other riders to gain a lap upon them, five teams in the six-day race at Madi son Square Garden quit the race early to-day. The five teams which quit were Walthour and Munroe, Bedell brothers, Mayo and Newkirk. McLiean and Bow ler and Butler and Moran. All of them were among the best in the con test, and among those most heavily backed to win the highest prize. The trouble was precipitated by the most exciting period of riding which the race had thus far given, when Root and Dorlon, followed later by Stol and Vanderstuyft, succeeded in gaining a lap on their opponents. Walthour, who acted as spokesman for the five dissatisfied teams, declared that the members of those teams relieved each other at intervals not allowed by the rules, especially in the case of Stol and Vanderstuyft. How It Came About. Walthour was on the track through out the sprint and riding a little ahead of the rest. When Root was making his meteoric dash half a lap ahead of the rest, little Stol, the Belgian rider, who had just relieved Vanderstuyft, stole up past Walthour and began a sprint to catch Root. In twelve laps he had done what he tried for, and Wal thour had been too much taken by sur prise to catch him. Then the partners in the five teams named, who were not then on the track, made their complaint and de clared their intention of withdrawing. Their partners, then riding, left the track and all ten riders immediately surrounded the officials and demanded that the lost distance be restored to them. After trying in vain to placate the angry riders, the officials gave up the tangle and gent for P. T. Powers, pro moter of the race. When he joined in the discussion and heard both sides of the dispute, he told and the others that they had no right to leave the track as they had done, either by the National Cycling Association rules or the special contracts which they made with the management. He con cluded: “You can go hack upon the track or not. Take your choice.” Ten Killers Sn*pendecL Powers issued a statement in which he claimed that the Vanderstuyft-Stol and Root-Dorlon teams won their lap fairly, and that the withdrawal of the five other teams was not justified. After a conference between President A. G. Batehelder of the National Cy cling Association and R. F. Keleey, chairman of the board of control of the association, Walthour and the nine oth er riders who withdrew from the race were indefinitely suspended. The cases will not be disposed of until the reg ular annual meeting of the association in February. Until that time they cannot ride on any track in the United States. Walthour has engagements to ride in Europe in the early spring, but If the suspension is not lifted, he will not be allowed to ride on any track in the world; nor will any of the other suspended men. Chairman Keleey, in speaking of the men, said: “I intend to make an example of these fellows.’'' Were Many Flat Fights. When Manager Pollock ordered the ten men who had quit the race to leave the Garden, a lively argument ensued and the police reserves were summon ed. The excitement w'as over when they arrived. The Garden was thrown into an up roar during the trouble in the dress ing rooms, and at one time there was a series of fistic encounters in pro gress all around the oval. Joseph L. Sullivan of Boston, a handler for Kee gan, the Lowell, Mass., man, who is still in the race, was given a severe beating. After the dissatisfied riders had left the Garden Mr. Powers issued orders to all the gate tenders that none of the men or any of their trainers or handlers were to be admitted to the Garden again during the week. Some time later Walthour and Mc- Lean returned and had a talk with Powers. Walthour afterwards said he had asked Powers for S6OO, which he considered due him for the motor paced race on Saturday night and his work so far this week, and that Pow ers had referred him to an attorney. McLean said he ‘‘was In the same boat.” He added that he had engaged a lawyer, whom he had Instructed to attach the gate receipts at once. AYhat Walthour Snys. Walthour, as spokesman for the sus pended riders, gave out their version of the trouble resulting in their with drawal. He said: “Root and Dorlon gained their lap honestly. I have no ground of com plaint against them and none of us have. It is entirely against the unjust scoring of Stol and Vanderstuyft that we are fighting. Asa matter of fact, they should be a lap behind us. in stead of one ahead. It was this way: “When Dorlon and Itoot had gained their lap, both Stol and Vanderstuyft were on the track making changes. 1 carried the bunch along In an effort to catch the leaders. Dorlon and Knot, and in doing so hit up such a fast puce that I succeeded In tapping all of the teams except three. Those three were the Bedell brothers. Butler and Moran and Dorlon and Root. We rode along, after that, more slowly, knowing that we had Is pried the others and what was our surprise when the score was post ed to And Stol and Vundcratuyft post, •and * lap ahead. Then came our protest and you know the result.” At 16 o'clock to-night, 1.244 miles and one lap had been covered by the Vandersluyfl-Htol and Itool-Dorlon (thins The relative positions of the twelve teams had not changed.

Provided He Can Carry Ont Certain Tentative Pinna. Washington, Deo. 7. President Roosevelt to-day received an invita tion to visit Louisville, Ivy., next spring and he gave a conditional ac ceptance. The invitation was extertded by B. C. Murray, a representative of the Louisville Board of Trade, who was presented by Senators Blackburn and McCreary, Representative Shirley and John W. YerkS6, commissioner of in ternal revenue, all of Kentucky. The President told them that, unless there should be an extraordinary session of Congress next spring—a subject on which, he added, hisj own mind was not quite clear —he pro lably would go to San Antonio, Tex., to attend the an nual reunion of hi old regiment of Rough Riders. The President sa 1 he expected to visit on his way to San Antonio, Ros well, Ga„ which w: s the home of his mother. It ts like y that other stops may be made on (he trip to Texas.

From San Antonio, the President may take a trip into the mountains of Colorado to get some shooting. The hunting ex pedition may consume two or three weeks. He told the Kentucky com mittee he would stop at Louisville on his return trip, provided always, that the trip as now contemplated, was un dertaken. BY HAL SCHOFIELD OLD NEGRO IS KILLED.

Atlanta, Dec. 7.—The railroads to day granted a general reduction upon all rates complained of by the Atlanta Freight Bureau. The reduction is an nounced to be small upon each article, although it is general and quite com prehensive in its scope. To-night the committee- of citizens met for the purpose of considering it, but did not complete Its labors. The report of the local committeee will be submitted to Council Friday afternoon. No statement of the exact amount of reductions upon any articles can be secured. The action of the railroads In con senting to any reduction at all has caused surprise. The local committee may report unfavorably upon that which has been given, on the ground that it is not enough. bogus'evangelTst WAS A FORGER. Forged the Nome of an Athens Rank Cashier for gtO.OOO.

Washington. Dec. 7.—The Senate to day reached a decision to take a vote upon the Philippine civil government bill, providing for the construction of railroads on the islands, on Dec. 16, and in addition, transacted considera ble other business. Mr. Platt of New York created something of a stir by introducing a bill providing for a reduction in the congressional representation of the Southern states, on the ground that many of the citizens of those states are deprived of their right to vote, and Mr. Scott plunged the Senate into an exceptionally early debate by at tempting to secure the passage of the bill granting pensions to the telegraph operators of the Civil War.- The de bate was not concluded. A large number of bills and joint res olutions were introduced and many pe titions presented. The discussion of the time for voting upon the Philip pine bill brought out the fact that there is a general understanding that the Christmas holiday recess will begin on Dec. 13. Hailey Watt Sarenatle. The introduction of the Platt bill created considerable excitement on the Democratic side of the chamber and at the request of several senators por tions of the measure were re-read. Mr. Bailey was the only senator who made any comment upon the measure. With a tone of sarcasm he asked if there was "anything in the bill affect ing the representation In the Senate from states wherein it is charged the Governor and not the Legislature se lects senators." Mr. Platt replied that the bill con tained no such provision. With this the incident closed for the time. After an executive session the Sen ate entered upon consideration of the cnlendar. The first measure on the calendar is the Daniel resolution calling on the President for all the correspondence with the Colombian government rela tive to the Panama revolution. The reading of the title of the resolution evidently revived memories of the last sessslon, for a smile was noticeable upon the faces of several senators. Mr. Lodge suggested that the resolution might be indefinitely postponed with profit, but in the absence of Mr. Daniel it was allowed to go over. Operator* Were Roller Paid. Mr. Scott, in explanation of the bill to pension telegraph operators, said that while the operators were not en listed, they were the confidential agents of the government and had performed most important services. He added that there were only about 200 of the operators. Mr. Galllnger announced his inten tion to vote against the bill, Raying that if It should pass, it would open the way to the pensioning of all other classes of civilians who served in the war and entail large expenditures. Mr. Cockrell called attention to the fact that tvhilp soldiers were paid only 113 per month, the telegraph operators had received from S6O to SIOO per month, and on this account he op posed the bill. Mr. McCurnber spoke in support of the bill, saying that there would be only 187 beneficiaries. The Senate adjourned until to-mor- TOW.
