MRS. CHADWICK IS IN CELL AT TOMBS. Continued from First page. 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 stnie her removal from the Holland House to the New Amsterdam Hotel, •"id from the latter to the Hotel Bres n. as a flight from the secret service men. It is perfectly absurd," she said. • be had, she said, notified the secret H'rvlce men each time she moved. At this Juncture Mrs. Chadwick had j 1 not her attack of nervousness and she terminated the Interview. Receiver Does to Cleveland.

The sale of $9 suits and $lO overcoats is still on and to-day new suits and overcoats will be added to the list. to the case, saying that any statements would come from Cleveland. 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. CABMAN IN PENITENTIARY IDENTIFIES MRS. DE VERE.

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. OBITUARY. A. D. Smith, Reldsv Ille. Reidsville, Ga., Dec. B.—Mr. A. D.

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 cient. Mr. Gillette of Massachusetts de fended the commission. 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 ploye should serve the government, Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio referred to a package of papers which had come to him to-day from a Vural carrier who had been propounded certain questions by the commission as to whether or not he had used his Influence In be. half of the election of Roosevelt In the Ohio campaign and whether or not on a certain day he had turned over his route to his substitute and gone to the polls and worked for the Republican ticket. "Now. think of holding up a poor devil of a rural carrier like that.” The man had simply gone to the polls and voted. Williams Became Jocular. Itj Jocular vein. Mr. Williams, di recting his remark* to Mr. Grosvenor, said he had been wondering If Mr. Grosvenor could furnish the House with such a hard luck story out In Ohio, because a fellow had shown politi cal activity In the case of President Roosevelt, what might possibly Wave been the fate of a fellow who would have dared to have shown political ac tivity In behalf of Mr. Parker. This .reference to Judge Parker produced considerable laughter on both sides of the chamber. "The Indications ’are," replied Mr. Grosvenor, which caused a renewal of laughter, “there were a great many of th' in terrified.’’ “From the numerousness of their scarcity at the polls,” responded Mr. Williams, amid more laughter, “I Imagine a grPat many of them must have been terrified, whether through Odors of Perspiration TzrZJXu.""
