Judge Claude Olds, of southern Vir-

the preamble, championed Its defeat
Rev. c. L. Mallory, of Milwaukee,
created a furore when he denied that he
repudiated the alleged constitution as

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 11.—Cassia
Chadwick, former high priestess of
frsnxlsd finance and the most stupend
ous woman swindler In the history of
the world, died In the penitentiary-here
last night,at.U>:16 .q'dock. with these
words on her llpa;; w , <t , .: >
“I am glad that Jne_ end Is here.”
Stricken with heart dlsease, with cer
tain complications, halt blind, wholly
deaf, deserted by her family, except her
som w ith no prospect but poverty at the
end of the five years she had still to
serve In prison, Mrs. Chadwick wel
comed death.
Yet, If there were any about her who
hoped that In the knowledge of her ap
proaching dissolution she would con
fess of *10,000.000 thefts and debts or
recant her oft-repeated declaration that
Andrew Carnegie was her father and
the Indorser of her spurious notes, they
were destined to disappointment.
Mrs. Chadwick passed away with the
flrst smile her face has known since she
went to prison In 1905—and she passed
away with the mystery of her life still
unconfessed.
Was From Canada.
Mrs. Chadwick's maiden name was
Elisabeth Blgley, and she was a native
of Woodstock, Canada. She came be
fore the public twenty years ago as a
fortune teller, posing os Madame De-
vlero, In Toledo, Ohio. While In this
city she forged the name of Richard
Brown, Youngstown. Ohio, and for this
crime was sent to the penitentiary at
Columbus for nine years.
She served but a portion of this sen
tence and then located In Cleveland,
where she married a man named Hoo
ver. Her second husband was Dr. Le
roy S. Chadwick, of Cleveland, a man
of good family and excellent standing
In his profession.
The Big Dsal.
In the latter part of 1903 or early In
1903 Mrs. Chadwick, In the presence
of her husband, gave to Ira Reynolds,
the cashier of the Wade Park Bank
of Cleveland, a box containing notes
signed with the name of Andrew Car
negie. These forged notes are alleged
to have amounted to $7,500,000. Rey
nolds gave to Mrs. Chadwick a re
ceipt for the papers, which described
the notes and the signatures upon
them. Mrs. Chadwick left with Rey.
nolds as an explanation of the exist,
ence of the notes the statement that
she was a natural daughter of Andrew
C< W 1 |th l< the receipt of Reynolds In her

(Chicago American Expert.)
Bennett Park, Detroit, Oct. 11.—The
whole state of Michigan seemed to be
waiting at the gate of the Detroit boll
park today when the gates were swung
open for the fourth battle between the
Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers for
the baseball championship of the world.
Such crowds Detroit has never seen be
fore. The management was at a loss to
handle them and It was seen long be
fore noon that there would be several
thousands who wduld not see the game.
The greatest excitement prevailed.
The street car lines lending to the little
box-llko park were dripping with peo
ple and the sidewalks and streets were
thronged with a stream of banner-
bedecked fanatics as they fought madly
for a path to the ticket windows.
1,500 Chicago Fans.
More than 1,500 wild-eyed enthust
nets from Chicago were emptied from
trains at the station this morning and
found only the streets open to them.
The hotels already were packed and
private rooming houses filled to the
limit.
Both teams came In on an early train
after a rathor riotous trip over from
Chicago. The Cubs with their two
victories already tabbed to their credit
had quarters reserved at tho Tailor
House, a neat little family hotel facing
the city square. The Tigers sought the
confinement of their club house at the
ball park, whero Manager Jennings put
them through a tvholo courso of lee-
tures on playing baseball.
' Tigers'Expect Two Straight.
It was up to tho .Tigers to scalp the
Chicago fellows today or be declared
down and out. On the other hand, the
Cubs were collected and, without tho
slightest fear, were going Into tho con.
test determined to end the whole thing
here tomorrow night. That means that
they expect to take two straight and
thus make the series a cleanup with the
single exception of the tie game at the
start.
Manager Chance won stilt undecided
when the boys left for the ball grounds
whom he would put In the box today.
He favored the big California twlrler,
Overall, but also wanted to try Morde-
cal Brown. Both were to be tried out
at the grounds and if it was seen that
Brown did not have his best speed and
curves today he was to be saved for
tomorrow and Overall would be select
ed. Carl Lundgren, the steady man of
the staff, was also In trim and ready to
take the box.
For Detroit It was all "Wild Bill’
Donovan. The Tiger fans pinned their
hope on the great smiling twlrler. who,
too. was anxious to work.
FIRST INNING. ■
Chicago—Slagle popped a weak fly to
O'Leary. Sheckard singled. The hit
and run was signalled with Chance at
the bat. and Sheckard started for sec
ond. Chance missed the ball and
Schmidt made a grand throy to second
and retired the runner by 10 feet. With
two strikes on Chance, Donovan curv
ed one over the Inside comer. The ball
hit Chance on the right hand and
delay ensued while he treated his In
jured fingers. He was tapped up by
Trainer McCormick and trotted to flrst.
With two strikes and two balls on
Stelnfeldt, Chance stole second on
very close decision. Stelnfeldt shot
line drive Into right and Cobb made a
perfect catch. No. runs.
Detroit—Jones walker. Schafer out
to Chance. Crawford hit for a long
drive Into right center, but Schulte got
It. Cobb out Tinker to flrst. No runs.
SECOND INNING.
Detroit—Rossman's grounder popped
Into Overall's hands and the Tiger was
out at first. Coughlin tore off his first
hit of the series, a clean drive past
Tinker. Schmidt lined Into Tinker's
hands on an attempted hit and run play
Coughlin was easily doubled, Tinker
tagging him at second. NO RUNS.
Chicago—Kllng fanned. Evers filed
to Cobb, an easy catch. Crawford raced
In and caught Schulte's short fly. NO
RUNS.
THIRD INNING.
Detroit—Tinker threw O’Leary out
to Chance. Donovan hit cleanly Into
right field, but loafed on tho way to
flrst base and was out by Schulte In a
most unusual play. Overall and Chance
hod no trouble getting Jones. NO
RUNS.
Chicago—Tinker hit the first ball Into
Cobb's hands In deep right. Schaefer
and Rossman got Overall. Slagle bat
ted a elow grounder at O'Leary and was

MIGHTY BATTLE
OF INTELLECTS
Attorney-General Hart Con
cludes Masterly Argu
ment For State.
A crowded court room, so crowded
that chairs had to be brought from
other parts of the building, greeted ex-
Senator John C. Spooner In the Federal
court when he began the concluding
argument of the Central of Georgia
railroad In the suit against the state
railroad commission because of the re
duced passenger rate.
The crowd began gathering long be
fore Judge Hart had concluded for the
state and those who heard this master
ful conclusion for the railroad commis
sion listened to an able argument that
was declared by lawyers present to
have been one of the best over heard.
Judge Hart began his conclusion for
the state at the opening of court and he
continued until shortly before noon.
With an easy but impressive and con
vincing manner, the attorney general
went over the case thoroughly and
sought to show Judge Newman that a
sovereign state could not be sued as
the railroad was endeavoring, and that
the remedy sought was not the proper
one.
He argued that the assumption of the
complainant that tho law was void was
not well founded and declared If tho
law was void It was not the Ian-.
Not Well Founded,
No defendant watt ever injured,” de
clared Judge Hart, "by the non-ob
servance of a void law. Tho non-ob
servance of a void law never hurt any.
body. This complainant says he le los
ing money dally because of this void
law. Surely that:, his own fault. He
does not need comply with a law that
Is void. But he Is not certain that It Is
void. He is not willing to take the risk
of violating It and wants this court to
stop the enforcement or a criminal stat
ute of this state until he can find out
whether or not he ts right.”
Judge Hart said he was not In court
to decry the Federal constitution, but
that he was In court to uphold It. He
denied there was a line in that Instru
ment which mnde the governor of a
state more vulnerable In the Federal
court than he was In a state court.
Such a proposition, he contended, would
be monatfous.
"I love the Union," said the attorney
general. "I trust It will ever remain a
Union. I deprecate any attempt ever
made to withdraw from It It was un
wise, although It may have been law.
ful.”
Senator Spooner’s Speech.
A short recess was token when Judge
Hart finished his argument and at Its
conclusion ex-Senator Spooner began
his address to the court. By MBs time
overy seat In the court room and every
chair that could be brought In was oc
cupied. Dozens of lawyers and others
Interested were crowded In there to
hear the former senator from Wiscon
sin.
He began by declaring that no one
knew better than he that the lawyers
of the South needed no outside assist
ance and he complimented Attorneys
Lawton and Cunningham on their ar
guments.
Continuing, the ex-senator gave a
most lucid explanation of the duties of
n Federal court, the reasons for estab
lishing them, and discussed the court's
function of equity In contradistinction
to function of common law. He also
discussed equity Jurisprudence aa a
preventive measure, and declared that
equity abhorred a multiplicity of suits
or a clrcultuous route to arrive at a
decision. He declared emphatically that
a suit of the kind brought against the
railroad commission and the governor
was not a suit against the state, and
quoted readily for the court's Informa
tion many decisions sustaining his con
tention. He argued that the railroad
didn't dare disobey the law In question
because the many suits, and penalties
that would be Inflicted would be ruin
ous.

mony. If possible, to the success which
will attend this year's effort.
Early Friday morning the crowds
began to gather at the gates and when
the hour of opening arrived at 10
o'clock there was a goodly number
ready for admittance, and these were
rapidly Increased by the frequent ar
rival of visitors, both from Atlanta and
vicinity and from other sections of the
state.
Practically all the features of the
fair are complete, with the exception of
a few of the county exhibits, which
have been unavoidably delayed. These
are expected to nrrtve Friday afternoon
and by Saturday the display of ths
products raised on the farms of Georgia
will probably be complete.
Great Farm Display.
As It Is at present, the agricultural
display surpasses anything that has
ever been seen at a Georgia fair. This
la the verdict of all who have passed
through tho building, and It is Justified
by the wonderful dleplay of farm prod,
ucts. which have been gathered from
some of the moet prosperous and fer.
tile counties of the state.
There are twelve or fifteen counties
represented and they have placed on
exhibition every article raised on the
farm.
The agricultural display this year Is
the most magnificent that I have ever
seen.” said H. H. Cabanlss, president
of the fair association. "It ts the moat
complete and the exhibits are all the
finest specimens that have ever been
collected at a fair In this or any other
state. The agricultural display alone It
worth a trip to the fair. While these
exhibits, of course, have been selected
with more or less care. It Is a sufficient
Indication of the unprecedented pros,
perlty which Georgia Is destined to en.
; oy, for prosperity can not bo driven
away from the locality where euch
products are raised.”
Machinery Exhibit.
For the first time the machinery
building was thrown open to the public
Friday morning, and all day long there
was a constant stream of people mov-
Ing In and out of the large building,
where vehicles of every character and

tho foatures of the concluding session
of the National Rural Letter Carriers'
Association Friday.
Tho llnnl session of the National
Rural Letter Carriers’ Association met
In the convention hall of the -Aragon
Hotel at 9 o'clock Friday morning. Vice
President Crum was In the chair.
The report of tho committee on eon-
Mituti IM firi.l by-laws was received.
No Important change was marked until
the section fixing the per capita tax
was reached.
This tax has been 00 cents per an
num, but the committee recommended
that It be raised to $1. Some objection
was Interposed, on tho ground that
It would work a hardship on carriers
to begin paying tho Increase at once.
The matter was finally adjusted by
making the Increased tax payable after
July 1. 1908. With this Increase the
expenses of delegates to tho national
convention will be paid, beginning with
the 1909 convention.
Salaries of the national ofilcers re
mained the same, except the treasurer,
who was Increased from >25 to 3100
per annum. The president and secre
tary receive *600 each, and members of
the executive committee >25 each. In

When It came to the executive com
mittee a fight developed, though It
seemed at flrst that the old committee
would bo unopposed.
For chairman of the committee three
names were submitted—O. Chacey, of
Kansas; Ellas Frey, of Indiana, and C.
M. Adams, of Iowa. On the first bal
