atloa. ASHINGTON, Dec. I. President Roose
velt 1s conferring dally With members of I
l.th th .. anil th Imtinn of rem i I
sentativss on the subject of tariff revlsio
and how the work shall be accomplished.
Hs has found that strong opposition exIaU
to consideration of the subject by con
gress at an extraordinary session to be
held next spring, and it can be said that
th Idea of calling an extraordinary session
for next spriug practically has been aban
doned. It has bean pointed out to the
president that it would be nearly Impossi
ble for the committee of congress to pre
pare a tariff measure for presentation to
the house before July 1 next. Representa
tive Watson of Indiana had a conference
with the president today.
While no decision yet has been reached
regsrdlng the revision of the tariff. It Is
pretty well understood now that If re
vision should be decided upon sn ex
traordinary session of congress will be
called to meet next fall.
The subject will be taken up at that ses
sion and its consideration probably be
taken up and concluded at the regular ses
sion next December. This arrangement. It
Is believed, will enable congress to dis
pose of the tariff question at a compara
tively early date in the regular session.
Beef Traat Case Goes Over.
The hearing by the supreme oourt of the
United States In the case of Swift
against the United States, ' popularly
known as "the Beef Trust" case
was today passed" to an unfixed future datf
at the request of the government. The case
was on the court's coll for today and at
the opening of the day's session Assistant
Attorney Day appeared and moved that
the case bo passed under the twenty-sixth
rule of the court, which rule provides that
upon agreement by counsel any case may
be postponed and restored at a future tlm
to, be agreed upon. Mr. Day stated that
th purpose of the motion was to serve
ths convenience of the attorney general,
who desires to partlcupate in the argument
and who was not prepared at this time to
proceed. He added that counsel on the
other side had consented to the postpone
ment. Under the arrangement the argument
may be made at any time upon which coun
sel and the court agree, .

CONNELL, RETIRES WELL SATISFIED
Comes Back from Iowa Pleased with
Besalts Is Interviewing; Jail Birds. '
W. J. Connell and Chief of Ppllce Dona
hue have returned from a three days' trip
through Iowa for the purpose of protecting
their side of the case in depositions from
convicts and others taken for the Civic
Federation for use in the charges made
against Chief Donahue to oust him, from
office.
Attorney Connell says he Is well pleased
with th facts brought out by cross
examination. He declines to outline the
important points developed In advance of
the arrival of the testimony.
"I will say, however," said Mr. Connell,
"that If the Civic Federation had not gone
after these depositions and paid for th-m,
we should have been glad to have done so."
At Clinton the deposition of Editor U E.
Fay, his attorney, Mr. Sutton, and several
policemen were taken, at the Anamosa pen
itentiary those of Burrier and Dolan, con
victs, and at the Fort Madison prison that
of Rogers, another convict, who was asso
ciated with Burrier before the former was
landed behind the bars.
Although ths hearing on the charges has
not been set, it may come up before the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
Monday night.
Mr. Connell, Tom Dennlaon's leading at
torney, la not disheartened over the de
cision of the supreme court. He has an
nounced that a rehearing will be asked
from the supreme oourt and In case this Is
refused or the prior ruling upheld an ap
peal will be taken to the supreme court
of the United States.
"I am thoroughly satisfied," raid Attor
ney Connell, "that the supreme court of
Nebraska has misconstrued the law and
has ignored important and controlling facts
contained In the record. I believe this can
be demonstrated in our application for a
rehearing. In the event that the ruling of
the supreme court is against us on the re
hearing the cass will be appealed to the
supreme court of the United Ststes. The
question of th rights of Dtnnlson under
the constitution of tb United States Is
directly involved."

NEW YORK. Dec. 8. Mrs. Cassle L
Qhadwick Is tonight occupying one of the
scantily furnished cells In the Tombs
After a fruitless search all dny for ball
her attorneys gave up the fight tonight and
Philip Carpenter, her chief counsel, stood
In the corridor of the federal building at
9 o'clock when United States Marshal Hen-
kle threw open the double doors of his
office and led the woman out on her way to
prison.
Mrs. Chadwlck was wan, tired and almost
fainting. She made her way across th hall
to the elevator, leaning heavily on the mar
shal's arm and that of her eon, Km II. lie
hind them came her nurse, Freda Swenson,
and Deputy Marshal Kennedy.
The party passed through a double row of
curious people to a carriage which was In
waiting on the Broadway side.
They were driven directly to the Tomb.
Arriving there Mrs. Chadwkk waa half
carried up the steps and Into the building.
Warden Flynn met the party, and after the
usual preliminaries had been attended to
the woman asked permission to have the
nurse remain with her. This was denied,
the warden snylng that she should have
no privileges not allowed other prisoners.
Talks to a Reporter.
While lying on a couch In the United
Slates marshal's office awaiting a bonds
man, Mrs. Chadwlck, for the first time since
her name has been before tho public, con
sented to talk for publication and gave the
representative or the Associated iTess a
statement in which she denied relationship
to Mrs. York of San Francisco, who gave
out an interview today telling of the earlier
life of Mrs. Chudwlck.
In Justice to her son, Mrs. Clvadwlck said
she would not make a statement about "the
Madame Devere business" at the present
time, but promised thut later "Madum De-
vere's whereabouts and everything else in
connection with this case will be shown."
Mrs. Chadwlck also told of the Wad
Pork and Oberlln bunk matters. Referring
to the failure of the latter Institution, she
said: "J would not like to live a minute if
did not think I would pay these poor
people back."
When asked concerning Andrew Carne
gie's connection with her financial affairs,
she declined absolutely to talk, referring
her interviewer to her counsel.
This has been a momentous day for Mrs.
Chadwlck. It commenced with her early
departure from her hotel for the tederul
building and ended with her Incarceration
In the Tombs.
I'nable to Give Bond.
In the Interval she had been arraigned
before United States Commissioner Shields
and held in 115,000 ball, which she was un
able to furnish. All day long lawyers rep
resenting her interests had sought In every
quarter for someone owning real estate in
Manhattan who would sign her bond, and
the marshal hod, out of sympathy for the
woman, kept her In his office hours after
she should have been removed. The en
deavors of the lawyers were unsuccessful,
rendering her Jmprlsonmont necessary.
To add to her cup of woe It was learned
tonight that a charge of forgery would
very likely be made against the woman in
Ohio, based tm the Carnegie notes and
Other papers given as securities for loans.
Efforts to get bail will continue tomor
row, although Mrs. Chadwlck expressed the
desire tonight to go to Cleveland as soon
ss possible. She said she would go there
voluntarily were it not for the "contrary
advice of counsel.
Mrs. Chadwlck dined at 7 o'clock tonight
In Marshal Henkel's office under condi
tions In strange contrast to the manner in
which she lived at New York hotels.
Arraigned In Federal Court.
Shortly after, Mrs. Chadwlck arrived at
the federal building Attorney Carpenter
of the woman's counsel was in consulta
tion with United States Commissioner
Shelds. At Mr. Carpenter's solicitation the
time for the arraignment of Mrs. Chad
wlck before the commissioner was de
layed and he left the building to find ball.
In th meantime Mrs. Chadwlck, with her
son and maid, were seated In the mar
shal's office. Outside In the corridor were
many reporter and photographers. Cam
eras were placed before the dour through
which Mrs. Chadwlck would have to pass
and as the preparations were made for
the flashlight there were many expressions
of anxiety as to the result on the nerves of
Mrs. Chadwlck. An attempt was made to
Interview Mrs. Chadwlck, but she would
not see a newspaper man or anyone else
outside of her attorneys and the gtovern-
ment officials.
During the delay consequent upon Mr. .
Carpenter's search for . a bondsman more
cameras were set up in the United States
court room where th proceeding were to
be held. Newspaper men- swarmed ovr
th chairs within the rail.
Bond 1 eiS.OOO.
Mrs. Chadwlck was held in $15,000 ball.
It waa not ready and she remained In tbe
marshal's ofnoe while her attorney searched
for a bondsman. The bearing was post
poned until pecember 17.
As Mrs. Chadwlck came into tbe corridor
to return to the United 8tates marshal's
office after her arraignment th battery
of cameras which had been set up outside
the court room door were turned upon her.
The sudden flash of th powder so startled
Mrs. Chadwlck that she fainted and sank
to her knees on the corridor floor. She
was saved from falling by Marshal Henkel
and her son, Emll, wbo supported her ss
shs continued down through th long line
of curious ones who crowded th corridor
between th court room and tb marshal's
office.
United States Marshal Henkel has an
nouncsd that It Mrs. Chadwick'a counsel
failed to secure bail this afternoon shs
would be taken to the Tombs prison.
Mora of th Sensational Expected.
Today practically all Interest In the cass
was centered in conjecture as to what
the future will reveal. Men who profess
to have sn Intlmats knowledge of the af-
Lfalrs of ths woman have hinted that only
a suggestion of th real case has yet be
come public. One man Is credited with
the statement that time will show this
to be th most stupsndous and far-reaching
cass of It kind in many years. Already
the country baa been startled by tbe
disclosures which have followed on after
another In quick succession since Mrs.
Chadwlrf ' affairs war brought before th
publlo view leas than two weeks ago. Since
that time Mrs. Chadwick'a known Indebted
ness bss grown from less than 1300.000 to
more than $1,000,000, and her counsel hss
rUwys.Rest'nW the) FplJ
QamCoMlaOiMley,C4a 3 Day
said that claims against her may amount
to $JO,000,noo for all he knows.
Qaeatlea Validity of Claim.
The validity of some of the claims, how
ever, said ths attorney, wa another mat
ter. In the same period st leasi two
bsnks have taken official cognisance of
the esse and the federal officers have
taken It upon themselves to Investlgsts
the validity of notes sggregatlng more
than $1,000,000. which bear the name or An
drew Carnegie.
Mr. Carnegie, the Iron master, has ststsd
thst h tiM-or slffnorl snv notes, that he
never has any dealings with Mrs. Chad
wick, to whom the notes In question were
made psyable. and that he will be perfectly
willing to communicate the same Informa
tion to any official with proper authority.
who cares to call upon him. This op
portunlty has now been given him and
his reply to the communication of Prose
cutlng Attorney Keeler of Cleveland, which
was sent last night, is awaited with con
slderable Interest. Mr. Keeler's message
not only ask-s Mr. Carnegie If he signed
the three notes, one of which calls for
$250,00 and the other two for $500,000 each,
but if he will go to Ohio. If necessary, to
testify that he did not. The dispatch con
cludes: "Please wire reply soon a possi
ble, as grand Jury action hinges on your
attitude."
The strangest feature of the mystery has
been the use of the name of Mr. Carnegie.
What reason was offered to explain why
Mr. Carnegie, who has an Income of more
than $10,000,000 a year from United Steel
bonds alone, should be giving notes, has
not been brought out.
Probably not in the history of tho United
States has there been anything similar In
unusual circumstances and magnitude to
the Chadwlck borrowings. It Is known by
the statement of President Beckwlth of
the failed Citizens National bank of Ober
lln, O., that notes for at leant $1,250,000, en
dorsed by Mrs. Chadwlck, are outstanding;
the securities said to be held by Iii Rey
nolds of Cleveland, figure to the extent
of $5,000,000; Herbert D. Newton of Bos
ton, has claims for $190,800, and today it waa
asserted by those conversant with the
strange case that a number of banks not
yet mentioned In publlo had made large
loans to Mr Chadwlck.
Will Be Indicted at Cleveland.
Receiver Lyons of the Oberlln bank,
which recently closed Its doors, told a rep
resentative of the Associated Press tonight
that hs would leave for Cleveland tomor
row morning, where criminal proceedings
will be taken against Mrs. Chadwlck. Ha
said he had been In communication with
Prosecutor Sullivan of Cleveland today and
that developments in the bank's case
against Mrs. Chadwlck might be looked
for. As to the exact nature of these he
declined to make a statement.
Asked If any communication had been
held with Mr. Carnegie here in this city,
he admitted that certain communications
had been passed.
Mr. Lyons declined to go further Into
the case, suylng that any statements would
come from Cleveland.

SISTER
l
CALIFORNIA
Alleged Relative of Mrs. Chadwlck
Speaks of Her Previous Record.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8.-A sister of
Mrs. Cassle L. Chadwlck resides In this
city In an elegantly furnished flat In Geary
street. Her name is Mrs. S. M. York. In
n interview published today she said:
'Mrs. Chadwlck is my sister. We were
born and brought up in Canada. Our
birthplace was Appen, Out., a little village
near London. There were five girls in
the family, of which I was the second.
Mrs. Chadwlck was the next to me. All
he girls were married early. The present
Mrs. Chadwlck, in 1880, . married a man
named C. R. Hoover and went to live in
Cleveland. Mr. Hoover died In 1S87 and
left her an estate worth In the neighborhood
of $50,000. Mrs. Hooyer, during the next
ten years, lived on her money and inci
dentally traveled for a wholesale millinery
establishment."
"At that time was Mrs. Hoover arrested
for forgery and sentenced to a term in the
Ohio penitentiary T" was asked.
"There was some trouble. Mrs. Hoover
got into difficulties, and I would sooner not
discuss 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. Chadwlck.
She has traveled around the world and
dabbled In financial matters In this coun
try. I never knew of her acquaintance
with Andrew Carnegie nor anyone of
wealthy people of that stamp. I do know.
however, that no matter what difficulty she
is In at present she will surely get out of
It, for she possesses more than sufficient
money to make good any amounts she may
nave borrowed on notes and loans."
According to Mrs. York. Mrs. Chadwlck s
Christian name is Elisabeth. She is 3S.
four years younger than Mrs York. Tho
family name Is Blgley. Mrs. York dis
claims all knowledge of Mrs. Chadwlck at
any time during her life attempting to do
business as a medium or as a clairvoyant.
"Not one of our family ever posed as a
medium," declared Mrs. York. "There waa
no necessity for such a move, for all of us
had money during our lives. When my
husband was alive he was one of the most
successful machine manufacturers In the
state of Ohio. In 1S97 he got Interested
in the Buffalo Radiator company. Thla
concern ate up hla money. When he went
into It he waa worth $250,000. When he
died, exactly one year later, his estate
owed more than $74,000. The loss of a
fortune killed him,"
Mrs. York has two daughters living with
her here.
Mrs. York today announced her Intention
of soon leaving this city. Whether she Is
going east to appear as a witness In the
case in which her sister, Mrs. Chadwlck,
is Involved was not divulged.
ANDREW CARNEGIE SENDS MESSAGE
Xever Signed Notes and Wants to
Testify In New York.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 8. County Prosecutor
Keeler today received the following tele.
aram from Andrew Carnegie st New York,
in reply to an Inquiry as to the genuine.
ness of the Chadwlck notes:
"Never signed such notes; have no notes
out now; have not issued a note for many
years. Hope you can arrange to have any
necessary affidavits executed here.
"(Signed) ANDREW CARNEGIE."
County Prosecutor Keeler Is uncertain as
to his Jurisdiction In the case, because he
does not know whether the notes in ques
tion were signed In this county, In Lor
raine county, Ohio, or in New York. In
order to determine this question ths prose
cutor has caused subpoenas to be Issued
to President Beckwlth and Cashier Bpear
of the closed Cltlsens1 Nations! bank of
Oberlln, calling upon them to appear be.
fore the grand Jury In Cleveland tomorrow
to testify as to where the notes were
actually signed.
United States District Attorney Sullivan
spent a good portion of last night In con
ference with President Beckwlth of th
Cltlsens' National bank, at ths hitter's
residence In Oberlln. As a result of this
conference Beckalth is now preparing e
coinpluta statement covering every trans
action between the bank or himself with
Mrs. Chadwlck. Mr. Sullivan rvfusad to
divulge th nature of this statement, but
from another source it was suld that IWk
wii'k which he did nut mention In the con-
and startling revelations in connection with
th loan made by the bank to Mrs. Chad.
with which tie did not mention In the con
fessian he gave out several days ago.
Tho district attorney stated that as thl
statement would be used as the basis of the
prosecution of the case It could not be dis
cussed. But he admitted that Beckwlth bad
told everything.

over 2 points, but liquidation was con
stantly renewed on the rally and new low
prices were made.
The panlo was somewhat allayed during
the second hour of the market and the
room bears who had been selling hedlessly
on the break found It difficult to secure
stocks to cover their short contracts. Vio
lent rallies were the result. United States
Steel recovered 4, Colorado Fuel 4, St.

The force of the early break came as a
surprise and proved that the public had
been in the market to a much greater ex
tent than was generally supposed. The
slump In the steel stocks showed how lack
ing was the support.
Numerous stories were told to illustrate
the wild character of the market. One
broker had an order to sell 600 shares of
Amalgamated Copper If the price dropped
to 65. At that figure he disposed of 2oii
shares, but so rapidly did the price full
off that the beet he could get for the re
maining 300 shares was 63 and 62 '4.
Sales of stocks in tho first hour were
over 800,000 shares, probably the high rec
