were it not for the contrary advice
of counsel.
Mrs. Chadwick dined at 7 o’clock to
night In Marshal Henkel’s office un
der conditions in strange contrast to
the manner in which she lived at the
Xow York hotels. Her dinner consist
ed of an orange, a ham sandwich and
ft piece of cake, brought to her by her
son. from a Broadway lunch counter.
>he lay on a hard leather couch in
a room filled with desks, chairs and
Ale cases. A deputy marshal stood
wa'ch while her nurse took the mea
ger lunch from a paper bag and peel
ed the orange. Emil sat by in silence
and ate a few bites of a sandwich,
and the nurse dried her tears long
enough to taste the lunch counter
jon Stand* by Hl* Mother.
The three unfortunates had nothing
t 0 sa y to each other. Occasionally
Mrs Chadwick sobbed, and the faith
ful nurse leaned over her mistress and
smoothed her gray hair. Mrs. Chad
wick's face was much inflamed, her
ey, ? were red and her hands trembled
violently as she pushed away the re
mains of the food and motioned Freda
to give her a pile of evening papers
which lay on a chair near the couch.
=he picked the papers up one by one,
and between sobs gave the first pages
a hasty glance. After she had run
through the lot, she selected one which
seemed to interest her especially, and
began reading it with great care. But
the strain seemed too great.
She burst into tears and the slight
bov. who seemed cool under ail the ex
citement, hastened to his mother's side
and quieted her with kisses. Thus the
tad trio awaited the announcement of
Mrs. Chadwick's counsel that she must
go to jail, because surety for $15,000
could not be had.
Denies Aliened Relationship.
Mrs. Chadwick was Interviewed by
a representative of the Associated
Press to-night as she lay on a couch
In the office of United States Marshal
Henkel waiting for her counsel to ob
tain bondsmen for her.
She and her nurse and son were In
the office with a deputy marshal. The
rmse and boy sat beside the weeping
woman and were trying to comfort
her. Mrs. Chadwick’s face was in
flamed and she had all the appearance
of a woman suffering greatly from
nervousness.
Mrs. Chadwick’s son Emil was ask
ed if he had seen the statement made
by Mrs. York of San Francisco rela
tive to his mother’s past life. He said
he had.
Will you ask your mother If she
will see a reporter on that statement
made by Mrs. York?”
Emil went to his mother, talked to
her in a low tone for a few seconds
end then came back and said his
mother would say something about it.
Suffering from Xervonsnes*.
Lying on the couch and interrupted
at intervals by slight nervous tremors,
Mrs. Chadwick said In reference to
Mrs. York’s statement:
"I have not read all of It, but I will
leave it to public opinion and to refined
and educated persons what conclusion
they might draw when one sister
makes a statement like that against
another sister:
"Mrs. Chadwick, Is Mrs. York your
sister?"
No, she is neither my sister nor my
half sister, nor my sister-in-law. We
were raised together.”
"Will you say anything about her
statement that you are Madame De-
Vere ?”
1 have made absolutely no state
ment about this Madame DeVere busi
ness from beginning to end. Out of
justice to my little boy I would not
do It at the present time. X don’t
think that any responsible person
would pay any attention to a statement
made by Mrs. York.
I* Protecting Her Boy.
"Everything will work its way out
all right for me and I don’t want to
say anything against Mrs. York at all.
I shall make a statement here in the
very near future and also one in Cleve
land. The newspapers possibly have
written up a great sensation, but I
wish you to say that Madame Devere’s
whereabouts and everything else in
connection with this case will be shown
In a very short time.
"In justice to my child, I don’t think
it right to make any further state
ment at this time.”
"Mrs. Chadwick, It is Intimated In
some of the afternoon papers that this
young woman you have here with you
is not your maid, but a relative of
yours, possibly your daughter.”
The young woman was sitting beside
her and she spoke up immediately,
saying: ”X am not related to Mrs.
Chadwick In any way; neither am I
her maid. I am her nurse. I am a
graduate from the nurses’ institution
in Stockholm, Sweden, and I am Swed
ish by birth.”
Why Oberlln Rank Failed.
Mrs. Chadwick told of the Oberlln
Bank failure, saying It would not have
occurred if the bank could have ob
tained its funds in a Cleveland bank.
It could not do so, she said, because
the run began on Saturday night, when
the Cleveland bank was closed. She
continued:
"If it had only happened differently,
the bank would not have had to fail
because the obligation would have
been paid. I would not like to live
a minute If I did not think 1 could
Pay these poor people back. I have
askefl Emil, my son, if anything should
happen to me that he would do every
thing to see that the obligations were
raid.”
"Mrs. Chadwick, those alleged Car
regie notes have figured so largely as
a sensational feature In this case that
no doubt the public would like to
know what you have to say in relation
to that.”
Hum on Carnegie Ante*.
Whatever is said about those notes
must be said by my attorney, Mr.
* arpenter. That is an entirely differ
*M,| matter,” she replied.
But you already have been quoted
Bs denying that Mr. Carnegie had any
thing to do with your business affairs
or that you had any notes of his."
As I s a |d before, you will have to
talk to Mr. Carpenter about that,” the
""oman answered. *
Mr*. Chadwick seemed to be espe
cially grieved that any one should ron

House to the New Amsterdam Hotel,

Carnegie Doesn’t Know Woman.
The Associated Press learned on the
best authority, however, that in the
communications in New York to-day
between Mr. Carnegie and representa
tives of the Oberlln bank, Mr. Car
negie denied absolutely that he had
signed the notes, which have figured
in the case as the Carnegie notes and
denied that he knows or ever saw Mrs.
Chadwick.
The same authority said that the
Ohio proceedings would be in the na
ture of action on a charge of for
gery.
“Will an additional warrant be is
sued in Ohio for Mrs. Chadwick’s ar
rest?” was asked.
There Are Other Papers.
“Yes, probably a number of war
rants.”
“Oh what charges will these warrants
be sworn out?”
“On the general charge of forgery.”
Inquiry was made as to whether the
charges of forgery would be based on
the Carnegie notes and the reply was
that they would be made on these and
some other papers, given as securities
for loans.
The papers, other than the Carnegie
notes, have not appeared in the case
heretofore, and as to what they con
sist of and whose signatures they bear
he would not sav.
MRS. CHADWICK’S SISTER
IN FAR OFF ’FRISCO.
Tells Something About the Woman
Who Ts Creating Such a Furor.
San Francisco, Dec. B.—A sister of
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick resides in this
city in an elegantly furnished flat In
Geary street. Her name is Mrs. S.
M. York. In an interview published to
day, she said:
“Mrs. Chadwick is my sister. We
were born and brought up in Canada.
Our birthplace was Appen, Ont., jl lit
tle village near London. There were
five girls In the family, of which I was
the second. Mrs. Chadwick was the
next to me. All the girls were mar
ried early.
“The present Mrs. Chadwick in 1880
married a man named C. R. Hoover,
and went to live in Cleveland, O. Mr.
Hoover died in 1887 and left an estate
worth in the neighborhood of $50,000.
Mrs. Hoover during the next ten years
lived on her money and Incidentally
traveled for a wholesale millinery es
tablishment.
“At that time was Mrs. Hoover ar
rested for forgery and sentenced to a
term In the Ohio penitentiary?" was
asked. .
“There was some trouble. Mrs. Hoov
er got into difficulty and I would soon
er notrdiscuss that portion of the story.
You Know what I mean. I am not
denying any of the reports that have
been spread broadcast about her, nor
am I endeavoring to hide anything.
There was trouble.
“In 1897 she married a very wealthy
physician and surgeon named Dr. L. S.
Chadwick. She has traveled around
the world and has dabbled in financial
matters in this country. I never knew
of her acquaintance with Andrew Car
negie nor any one of the wealthy peo
ple of his stamp. *
“I do know, however, that, no mat
ter what difficulty she is in at pres
ent, she will surely get out of it, for
she possesses more than sufficient
money to make good any amounts she
may have borrowed on notes and
loans." ~
* According to Mrs. York, Mrs. Chad
wick, whose Christian name is Eliza
beth, is 38 years old. The family name
is Bigley. Mrs. York disclaims all
knowledge of Mrs. Chadwick ever at
tempting to do business as a medium
or clairvoyant.

PONTIFICAL MASS
AMID BLAZE OF LIGHTS.
The Pontiff Looked Somewhat White
and Worn.
Rome, Dec. B.—A pontifleial mass
was celebrated this morning in St.
Peters in honor of the fiftieth anni
versary of the proclamation of the
dogma of the Immaculate Conception.
Outside the cathedral order was
maintained by a detachment of Italian
troops and with some difficulty the
Papal guards controlled the vast*
throngs inside the basilica, where the
blaze of electric lights was pleasantly
softened by the great size of the build
ing.
The procession, which went down to
St. Peters by the grand staircase from
the Vatican, was imposing in the ex
treme, owing to the variety of the uni
forms of the guards, the richness of
the Papal court costumes, the purples
of the bishops’ robes, and the red of
the cardinals’ vestments, forming a
brilliant setting for the venerable
wnite garbed figure of Pius X.
As the cortege entered St. Peters
the choir sang, “Tu Est Petrus.” The
procession passed on to the Papal
altar, where was deposited the triple
crown. After the celebration of mass
at the high altar, the procession slow
ly reformed and wended Its way to
the chapel choir, where the Pontiff,
with great emotion, presided over the
unveiling of the statue of the Virgin
of the Immaculate Conception bearing
its magnificent new diamond crown,
the gift of the faithful in all parts
of the world as homage to the Vir
gin.
This is the statue which was crown
ed by Pope Pius IX. at the time of
the promulgation of the dogma of the
Immaculate Conception. After the
ceremony, the procession returned to
the Vatican, the Pope, who was fa
tigued, going immediately to his private
apartments. The Pontiff looked some
what white and worn.
The Americans present, Including the
ecclesiastics and those admitted by
ticket, numbered 873.
CRESCEUS’ RECORD
IS NOT ALLOWED.
His Owner, However, Found Not
Guilty of Fraud,
Chicago, Dec. 8. —George H. Ketcham
of Toledo, 0., was found not guilty of
establishing a fraudulent record for
his trotting stallion Cresceus at the
Wichita, Kan., track on Oct. 19, 1903,
after a hearing of the case before the
board of appeals of the American
Trotting Association here to-night.
The board declared that the evi
dence fell short of sufficiency of es
tablishing criminal participation in the
claimed fraudulent agreement for an
illegitimate record so far as Mr.
Ketcham was concerned.
While freeing Mr. Ketcham from the
charge, the board found the officials
of the Southern Kansas Fair
Association, on whose track the
race was run, guilty of con
nivance to establish a fraudulent
record, expelling from the American
Trotting Association President C. H.
Irwin, and all the other officials con
nected with the Wichita track at that
time.
The expulsion of these officials also
means that the world's record for trot
ting stallions of 1:59%, claimed to have
been made by Cresceus, Is not allowed
by the board.
TEXAS BANKS wiLL
STAND BY FARMERS.
Will Advance Them Money If They
Want to Hold Cotton.
Houston, Tex., Dec. 8. —Interviews
over the state to-day show that the
Wanks generally are willing to advance
money at a reasonable rate of interest,
to enable farmers and merchants to
carry their cotton for a year if neces
sary.
While there are some who oppose
the plan they generally do so on the
ground that the great amount held
will result in continuing the conditions
brought about by a crop top big to
be absorbed, whereas by marketing the
true crop the size of the crop could
be definitely known. Generally the
report to dally papers from country
correspondents state that farmers will
continue to hold.

Mr. Hepburn of lowa offered an
amendment to strike out the appro
priation for the commission and In
bitter terms denounced the civil serv
ice, but he declared, in comparing the
old spoils system with the present
merit system, the civil service was
not being Improved. It was not, he
said, as good as It was twenty years
ago. It was constantly deteriorating,
becoming every year more and more
of an expense and less and less effi

Mr. Gillette of Massachusetts de

After Mr. Williams of Mississippi,
(he minority leader, had offered a
suggestion that it would be an Im
provement over the present system to
fix a certain period for which an em

Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio referred to a

that.” The man had simply gone to

Roosevelt, what might possibly Wave
been the fate of a fellow who would
have dared to have shown political ac

considerable laughter on both sides of
the chamber.

laughter, “there were a great many of

whole and our New York buyer bought them, BUT IT WAS A QUESTION OF MAN ON THE SPOT.
