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.

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 possession.

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 out on a beautiful throw. NO RUNS.

Federal Case Interests All Law yers. 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. “Road Did Right." "The railroad did what was exactly PAUL L. LINDSAY. He was unanimously elected president of national rural carriers. AT BIC F BEAR FIRST Attendance Growing Under Sun shine. Continued on Page Three. "Machinery Day," marking the sec ond day's run of the Georgia State Fair, was a decided success from every standpoint and whllo the record of at tendance on Thursday, the opening day Was most satisfactory to the manage ment of the fair, the still larger crowds which filed through the gates at Fled mont park on Friday bore greater testl. 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 description from a doll carriage to a traction engine are placed on exhibi tion. The numerous side shows which line the midway were all ready for business Friday and business was coming their way In a manner which made ticket sellers hustle to keep up with the de- Continued on Psgo Three.

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 the future all meetings will bo opened with prayer.. Election of national officers was next taken up, resulting In the unanimous naming of the old officers, except tho executive committee, which brought on spirited fight Officers Re-elected. M. M. Stoddard, of Virginia, placed Paul L. Lindsay, of Georgia, In nomlna. tlon for the presidency, and half the house seconded the nomination. The secretary cast the ballot amid great applause. Major Jones, of Georgia, nominated H. E. Crum, of Michigan, for vice pres ident and his election was unanimous. H. P. Rugg, of Connecticut nominated E. Cull, of Massachusetts, for sec retary, and C. M. Adams, of Iowa, nom inated 1. D. Williams, of Pennsylva nia. for treasurer. Both received the unanimous vote of the convention. 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 lot the vote stood: Chacey >7, Frey 36 and Adams 27. On the second ballot Adams with drew and Chacey received 36 votes and Frey 68. Mr. Chacey was the former chairman of the committee.

On the third ballot the vote stood: Johnson. 56; Adams, 26; Stelnbrucker. 23. This broke the deadlock by giving Johnson the secretaryship of the com mittee. He was formerly the third man on this committee. H. P. Briggs said he had intended to nominate Minneapolis, but Mrs. Ken yon had asked the convention to coma to Omaha and he withdrew hts city In her favor. l J. B. Boyd threw open Kentucky ta the convention, the selection of the city to be a minor consideration, though he thought Howling Green about right.
