Claims to Be Carnegie's Daughter.
Secretary Irl Reynolds of the Wade Pork
ban" declared tonight that his Implicit
belief In the statement made to Mm by
Mrs. Chadwlok in which she declared her
self to be the daughter of Andrew Cnr
iitaTle was the impelling cause of his finan
cial dealing with her. Mr. Reynolds said:
She told me that she was the IlleKltlinnte
daughter of Andrew Carnegie, and I be
lieved her. I never doubted her until on
the occasion of my last visit to New
York, when Mr. 8tutre earne to me and
declared that alt the securities she had
nlven roe as the note of Andrew Car
negie were worthless. It was only then
that I doubted her. llefore that I hnd
refused to say anything about her or her
affairs, because 1 deemed It my duty (o
protect her In the story of her birth as
she had given It to me. I never once
doubted her until I was shown the securi
ties she gave me were worthless. After
that, of course, I could, not believe her
any more. When she told me the story
of being the daughter of Andrew Carnegie,
her husband, Dr. Chadwlck, was present
and he believed the story as 1 did. The
stories of her giving large sums of money
to her husband are false. He- Is now in
Europe and is penniless.
Just to show the methods of Mrs. Chad
wlck, I will tell of what she offered to
do for me about one year ago. She came
to me In my office here and said she was
grateful for all that I had done for her
and that she wished me to sccept a. present
from her. She then offered me tlOu,(U In
four notes of $2&,000 each. The notes were
drawn by her and she dec'ured that they
were as good as gold. They may have
been, for 1 know that her notes for simi
lar amounts had been negotiated In banks
of this city and had been taken up at ma
turity. Of course as an officer of the
bank I could not nccept such a present
and remain In the institution. I was com
pelled either to resign or decline a present
ut the notes. I declined the notes.
Will Stand by Reynolds.
The directors of the Wade Park bank
have determined to a man to stand by
Secretary Reynolds and Insist that he re
main with the bonk. , He has offered to
resign repeatedly during the lost two
weeks, but the directors have refused to
accept the resignation and declare that he
hall retain his position. .
Both the ""federal "andr "state 'authorities
have united In the determination to keep
Mrs. Chadwlck behind prison bars until
he is brought before either the federal
grand Jury or the grand Jury of this
county to answer to- the charges against
her. The determination not to release Mrs.
Chadwlck on ball was reached today after
a telephone communication between United
States , District Attorney Sullivan and
Coiinty Prosecutor Keeler. Following the
conference Mr. Sullivan wired the New
York officials suggesting that If bondsmen
appeared for Mrs. Chadwlck tomorrow
that the' amount of bond which she Is now
held be Increased to 126,000 and S50.00C
if necessary to keep her In Jail. It Is
explained that the authorities have power
either to Increase or decrease the amount
of bond as they see fit. In addition to
tha suggestion on a bond Increase and
the kind of bond other steps have been
taken calculated absolutely to prevent
Mrs. Chadwlck from securing her freedom
before she has been brought to trial.
WILL ROT ATTEMPT TO GIVE BOND
Mrs. Chadwlok Will Remain In Tombs
, Vntll Her Preliminary Hearing.
NKW YORK, Dec. 11. From present Indi
cations it Is extremely unlikely that any
attempt : will be mad to obtain bail for
Mr. Cassl L, Chadwlck. who ha been In
the Tombs since last Thursday on a charge
of aiding and abetting bank officials In the
embenlement of 12,600. She was held un
der $16,000 bail. A person who Is In a posi
tion to know the various moves In the
Chadwlck case, In an Interview with a rep
resentative of the Associated Press, said to
day: Despite all reports to the contrary, no ac
tive efforts have been made to obtain ball
for Mra Chadwlck in this city. There are

It had been lost through the coffee habit:

It got to be so that there was not a night,

to the doctor almost every week to see
If they could do something for me. They
said It was the tobacco habit that did

bond if asked, but the fact Is, it is not
deemed udvlMtble for Mrs. Chadwlck to
leave the city prison at present, lr she
were released on ball the government could
demand twenty-four hours In which to ex
amltM her surety. The government at
torneys could telegraph Cleveland author!
Ilea and before the twenty-four hour ex
pired could have additional charges sent
here, so that It would be necessary to pro
cure new bail.
This procedure could be csrrled out as
long as the government officials thought
they had charges. Again there might convj
a conflict In authority. A cou.ity grand
Jury might And an Indictment against Mrs.
Chadwlck and then the matter of extradi
tion would come up In a different light fiom
any yet suggested.
I sm of the opinion that Mrs. Chadwlck
will remain quietly In the Tombs for the
present. Her examination, Is set for next
Saturday before Lnlted States Commis
sioner Shields. If further continuances
should not be asked by counsel on either
side the commlartoner would listen to the
evidence with a view to determining
whether or not Mrs. Chadwlck should be
held for the federal grand Jury.
It is not believed tnat a decision will be
reached that day. Indeed, It is very p.S'l
ble that It will be some time before the
mutter is definitely disposed of. In case
Mrs. Chadwlck is held for the federal grand
Jury it is not at all unlikely that one of
the greatest legal battles ever fought In
New York will follow.
Dr. Chadwlck is Missing.
For several days it has been rumored
that Dr. Leroy Shlppen Chadwlck wa
either In Paris, Berlin or Brussels, but an
Investigation by the Associated Press rep
resentatives in those places failed to re
veal his presence, although many letters
are awaiting the physician at the Hotel
Mctropole, Brussels; where he Is a regular
patron.
Philip Carpenter, Mrs. Chadwlck's counsel,
was uked tonight concerning the where
abounts of the husbend of his client, but he
declined to saj. Mi. Carpenter also asked
to be excused from discussing hi future
action relating to Mrs. Chadwlck's trouble.
"It would aot be good policy," he said,
"to antlclriw In any way our line of
action."
A lawyer who has been connected with
the recent financial difficulties of Mr.
Chadwlck said today In reference to the
report that tepa might eventually be
taken to compel the return of Dr. Chad
wlck to this country:
Any person who say that Dr. Chadwlck
can be brought back to the United State
against his will, because he gave Herbert
D. Newton checks which were returned
marked "Without funds" knows nothing ot
the law. Had the doctor bought a cat
and given a worthless check he could have
been held for obtaining money under false
pretences, but m-thlst. ease there was-no
value received. He Iff said to have given
two checks aggregating 1S0.0U0 as a part
payment of his wife s indebtedness. -The
checks were valueless, but no crime was
committed, for Dr. Chadwlck received
nothing. Mr. Newton received nothing. In
other words, there wa no value received
and therefore no crime committed.
It ha been said that Mrs. Chadwlck set
tled 2,50O,0UO of the money she borrowed
on her husband three years ago. That will
be a difficult thing to prove. It must
first be shown that she borrowed that
money and then that It was borrowed
fraudulently. It would seem reasonable
that if the woman could borrow such a
Inrffn aum nf raoniv she must have had
some excellent securities. It must be
borne in mind that the nrst anegea enr
negie note, which plays the most Im
portant . role In this tragedy of finance,
is much less than four years old, while
It was over three years ago that $2,5UO,0uu
were said to have been settled on Dr.
Chadwlck. As it would have been impos
sible In so short a time to negotiate such
a large loan on the strength of that note,
it is highly probable that if she did give
her husband that money she had bona
fide security.
1 believe It most unlikely that an at
tempt will ever be made to bring Dr.
Chadwlck back on any such hypothesis.
Those who know him best know that what
ever wealth he has he ho acquired hon
estly. Mrs. Chadwlck passed a quiet day in
the Tombs. No visitor are allowed to
ee federal prisoners on Sunday and no
exception was made in Mr. Chadwlck'
case, although she received two note from
her nurse, to which she replied. She at
tended divine service In the corridor.
The prison physician found Mr. Chad
wlck In excellent health today and said
that he, would not need to call on hur
again.

the fact that Dr. Chadwlck on four occa

OFFICIAL STATEMENT IS A REVELATION
Despite These gnrnrlalng Statistics
Reeords Show Business of This
Character Is Making Con
stant Headway.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Dec. 11. (Speclal.)-A revela
tion was received at the office of Insurance
Deputy Pierce yesterday In the way of In
surance statistics. The statistics were pre.
pared for the Journal of Insurance Eco
nomics and show that forty-one of the big
gest fire Insurance companies now doing
business made altogether during the last
five year only tl22,ooo. Out of the total of
forty-one companies, twenty-three of them
come out loser at the end of the five years,
leaving only eighteen that made a profit
during tht length of time. Two companies
made enormous profits during the five
years. The Aetna cleared $1,673,000 and the
Continental cleared $1,174,000. The Hartford
was the greatest loeer, coming out behind
for the five years' buslmsi a to.al if $b86,u00.
But for all this, the statistics show the
Insurance business has come up wonder
fuly during the last two years, and for 1902
and 1903 the profits were enormous, mak
Ing It seem unnecessary for an Increase In
rales at this time. Last yeur these same
companies cleared a total of $12,794,000,
while the ycai- before that they cleared
$5,193,000. The three years previous the
losses amounted to over $17,000,000, divided
as follows: 1899, $7,G93,000; In 19u0, $3,099,000;
In 1901. $7,lti3,000. Each of the forty-one
companies made profits last year, while only
six of them, came out behind the year be
fore. Which Telephone Servleef
Tuesday afternoon the Roard of Regents
of the State university will meet and de
cide whether they will Install the Nebraska
telephone system In. the university or the
Lincoln telephone system. AH of the offices
are to bo connected up. This matter has
been hanging fire for some time, as both
companies are making strenuous efforts to
land. In the meantime It Is not stated
whether the regents will discuss the matter
! of carrying out the law In regard to fur
nishing text-books to the students at ccst.
Were the law carried out the studenis
would be saved from $10,(KM to $JU,000 a year

Maniac Eat Gronse.
Th inmate of the Hospital for the In

dinner today. A trunk full of the bird
was confiscated In Omaha yesterday by the
game warden and brought to Lincoln. They
had been shipped in from the west end of
the state.
Basket Ball In Minnesota.
The university basket ball team will go
to Minnesota the latter part of January. A
game with the Gophers has Just been defi
nitely scheduled for January 20. On the
Saturday night following the Minnesota
game the team will probably play the Min
neapolis Young Men' Christian association
or the high school. On the trip northward
a game may be played with the Sioux City
Young Men's. Christian association. Tho
western trip has not been arranged yet
and It may be dropped in case a long north

County Fair n Success.
"To cduntyTair'tieid' at"Jhi university
last iignt uuder-tho auspice of the Young
Men' Christian association wis a decided
success and about $3)0 was realised. Nearly
800 people attended and saw the play at the
close of the fair.
Municipal . politics really has begun to
turn up. Last night the labor unions of the
city met and endorsed tho candidacy of
Mayor George A. Adams for re-election,
Joseph Wolfe for re-election as exciseman
and Patrolman George Overton for excise
man. Th endorsement of Overton came
not only as a surprise to most of the peo
ple not In on the ground floor of labor af
fairs, but to the patrolman himself. He
was endorsed -on the theory that having
been a member of the force for so many
years he would be In a good position to
know the need of th' department. He
has many friends in Lincoln and has the
reputation of being a level-headed and con
servative officer.
New Insurance Deal.
Among the Insurance men there l antfne
thing doing which, if kept up, might result
in some little benefit to policyholder. Word
wa received from the east yesterday by
local agent that fire insurance risk on
dwelling houses could be written without
regard to the exposure to adjacent build
ings. A meeting was held and it is said
th agents decided to continue as formerly
and pay no attention to the permission
given them by the head of th companies.
One firm, however, thl morning made the
announcement In a local paper that It
would write risks at the reduced rate. It
is not Improbable that this- will bring on
an insurance war and the people are earn
stly hoping it will.

IMMENSE
DITCHI1U
MACHINE
Forty-Eight Oxen Poll a Hage Plow
Through Nemaha Bottom.
AUBURN. Neb., Dec. 11. (Special.) The
ditching outfit that ha been working along
the Nemaha stalghtenlng the curves and
partly forming a new channel for the old
river Is now at work on the Bath and
Stooker properties east o town.
The ditching outfit Is a crude looking
affair, but despite It clumsy appearsnc
It does exceptionally quick and smooth
work, turning One continual stream ot
dirt from the plows. '
The power Is furnished by oxen, forty-
eight In number, ypked together In teams,
making twenty-fouT teams In all. They
are driven by four men so-called bull
whackers. They hsve a name for every
animal and they call each one by name
when directing them and quickly get an
Intelligent response. The animals are all
In a fine physical condition. They con
sume dally twenty bushels of corn and one
ton of hay.
There are two ditching machines. The
small one digs a trench eighteen Inches
deep and two feet wide and is used alto
gether for drainage of fields. This ma
chine, under favorable circumstances, will
cut a ditch from 100 to 150 rods each day.
The larger machine, or ditcher, is n
huge affair. This machine cuts a ditch
two feet deep and six feet wide. The
amount of cable carried with this ma
chine Is enormous and no doubt repre
sents a small fortune In the way of an
Investment. The cable 1 fastened to a
take set firmly In the ground and runs
through an Immense pulley to the plow
and from thence to the crab, a it Is
called, to this all. of the oxen are yoked.
This crab is mounted on heavy iron wheels.
The doubletree used is an immense thing
weighing 7' 10 pounds. It is of oak, sheathed
with steel and is fourteen feet In length.
This machine Is doing a great deal ot
effective work along the Nemaha bottom
in the way of straightening the curves In
the river and thereby stopping the over
flow, which ruin the land along the bot
tom and destroys thousands of dollars'
worth of property every year.
This ditching outfit was brought here
as a result of a movement on the part
of the owners of the bottom land on tho
Little Nemaha river. While the lands In
the Little Nemaha valley are very rich
and productive, no crops have been raised
thereon for several year on account of
the overflow. The course of this stream
Is extremely tortuous, and since the sur
rounding hill lands have been broken the
dirt and soil has been gradually washed
down and collected In the stream until
It Is nearly Oiled up With mud. As a con
sequence every large rain causes an over
flow. The straightening of the stream hns
been under discussion by the land owners
for several years, but as there was su
much diversity of opinion among them
every attempt until recently has proven
abortive. However,' during the month of
September of this year a meeting of the
land owners was had and definite ar
rangements were made to do something
and a committee appointed with power to
act." This committee secured the ditching
outfit and put It to work. It is not likely
that the work will be completed this fall
as the frost In the ground is already In-,
terfering with the ' work, but the work
will be resumed In- the-eprlng, .. ,..
Stock Feeding at Schuyler.
SCHUYLER, Neb Dec. 11. (Special.)
There are being fed in this, locality 25,000
head of sheep and 1,600 head of cattle by
various Individuals and companies. The
amount of corn required for this amount
of live stock, about 1,300 bushels per day,
together with the normal amount usod
dally by ou" local millers. The Wells-Abbott-Nleman
Co., 2,800, makes a total
dally requirement of something like 4,0 0
bushels. Although Colfax county's crop of
1904 I conservatively estimated at 8,400,000
bushels, there Is not enough corn in con
tiguous territory to supply tho local
demand, there being almost dally shipments
in, especially for use at the mill.
A recent compilation of the crop of 1904
for Colfax county ' shows corn, 8.3.-1,800
bushels of the value of $1.U2,(W), or $100.00
per capita for each inhabitant of the
county; wheat, 145,880 bushels or the value
of $256,608; oats, 146,880 of the value . of
$33,584; rye, 100,000 bushel of the value of
$25,000; hay, 15,137 ton of the value of
$161,875, a grand total of $1,697,677, which
does not Include fruits, melons, potatoes,
sugar corn and numerous other thing.
Live stock value foot up $1,714,000, and
land value $12,950,000, making a grand total
of over $16,000,000, not Including city and
village property values and those of mer
cantile stocks. ,
New Telephone Lines for Fremont.
FREMONT, Neb., Dec. 11. (Special.)
A public meeting In Ponocco precinct,
Saunders county, which wa attended by
about forty farmers, wa held yesterday
afternoon to decide what arrangement
could be made for the extension of the
Fremont Telephone company's lines Into
that vicinity. Manager Wilson of the Fre
mont company was present and assured the
farmers that his company would be very
glad to put in the lines provided the rate
were fixed so that It could be run at a
profit. The farmers thought that $1.00
per month was enough, but Mr. Wilson
said the company could not afford to
put up the lines on that basis. A com
mlttcis was appointed to Investigate ' the
cost question and It is pretty certain that
arrangements will be made by which the
Fremont company will extend their lines
to accommodate the farmers of the north
eastern part of Saunders county.
A severe wind and dust storm has pre
vailed here most of the day today. Th
ground Is dry and rain and snow would be
welcome.

WASHINGTON, Dec. U.-In his report to
tne president, Mctor It. Metcalf, secretary
. . . . -
of commerce and labor, refers to the fact i
that the work of the bureau for the fiscal
year was completed before he assumed the'
duties of the office
The report rays, In

The present organisation of the depart

anuual report of the secretary. The bureau

for a similar reason.
Recommendation u made that, as far as
practicable, the dlKbiiratng cilice author
ized by law and now existing In some of the
subordinate bureaus be consolidated with
the disbursing office of the Department of
Commerce and I-abor. Surh a consolidation

of the department will be simplified and ihe
exact statiiN of amounts and balances of
appropriations. Including the balances ot
advances on requsltion. can be ascertained
without difficulty, as the ledgtrs of the de
partment will show tho disbursements from
day to day.
Meed a Special Fond.
In the estimates I have Included a provis
ion for an appropihttion to be expended un
der the linnicolate direction of ine secre
tary for the investigation of trade condi
tions ut home and auroud, with thn object
of promoting the domestic and foreign c m
meioe of the United States, and for otl-t-r
purposes. A similar request, made In the
first annual' report, was denied by congress,
but the result of the years work conclu
sively demonstrates that tho main Investi
gation contemplated will be of great value
to the commercial interests ot the coun
try. The growth of our foreign trade can
be materially and Immediately helped by
sending skilled and trained men to study
and report upon special conditions in the
great world markets.
In addition to the main purpoi-e the ap
propriation is needed also "for other pur
poses." It is of the utmost importance
that a fund be available for expenditure
under the immediate direction of the sec
retary for the employment of special
agents for the inspection and examinnt.on
of the s-rvices of the department. On ac
count of the limitations which the law
very properly Imposes with reference to
the expenditure of funds, It Is impots.ble,
without such a fund, to promptly meet
such emergencies as frequently aritc.
Bureau of Corporations.
The work of the Bureau of Corporations
has proceeded along the lines indicated
In the first annual report ot the depart
ment. The bureau has made an exhaustive ex
amination of Judicial decisions for the
purpose of ascertaining fuiiy those con
stitutional powers and restrictions on
which present conditions are based, and
also those which must be necessarily In
volved In any future legislation for the
Improvement of present legal corporate
conditions.
For the purpose of ascertaining and
presenting In available form the legal con
ditions under which corporate business is
being carried on In the various stales ma
terial obtained from thirty states has been
compiled and tabulated. In each of thece
states, with regard to all the more Im
portant corporations organized In the
state and engaged In interstate or foreign
commerce, typical either of the state's
Industries or of Its luws, every paper or
document filed or recorded concerning each
corporation was examined separately, and
all Information relating to each corpora
tion disclosed by the official reeords ha.s
been collected and compiled. There have
been thus far examined and abstracted
the records of over 1,600 corporations,
which Include the larger part of the more
imnnrinnt Industrial and commercial cor
porations, ' Jol njt stock companies and cor
porate combinations In the I'nlted Slates.
Bnrean of Labor.
In the orcanlc act catablishine this bu
reau It is slated that Its general design
anil duties "shall be to acquire and dif
fuse among the people of the United
States useful information on subjects con
nected with labor. In the most general and
comprehensive sense of thut word, and
especially upon Its relation to cupital, thu
hour of labor, thn earnings of laboring
men and women, and the means of pro
moting their material, sociul, intellectual
and moral prosperity.'
In udditlon to the preparation of the
nineteenth annual report the bureau has
been engaged in tho collection of mate
rial with reference to convict labor, which
will form the basis of Its twentieth annual
report (the report for lliflO). The collec
tion of data for this report has been al
most completed, and It Is expected that
the report itself will be submitted early
In the coming year. This report will re
late specially to the economic features of
convict labor as employed In the peni
tentiaries, prison und Jails of the United
States.
Work will shortly be begun on the col
lection of data relative to strikes and
lockouts In the United States, which will
form the basis of the annual report for
1806. The sixteenth annual report, pub
lished in 1901, brought the facts relating
to strikes and lockouts down to and in
cluding the year 19U0. It Is expected that
the report for 1906 will cover the period
from l9ol to 1806.
Wireless Telegraphy.
The Inter-departmental board appointed
hv the nreaident to consider the uuesiion
oi wireless telegraphy In the service of ihei
national government has recommended
that the Department of Commerce und
Labor should have the duty of Issuing
licenses for wlreleH telegraphic marine
station In special cases, under such regu
lations a will prevent Interference -,wllh
station necessary to the national defense.
It has also recommended that ull private
stations In the . interior of the cjunt y
should be under the supervision of tho
Department of Commerce and Labor. To
prevent the control of wireles-i telegraphy
by monopolies and trusts, the board deems
It essential that any legislation on this
subject should place the supervision of it
in the Department of Commerce and Labor.
The proposed federal control of wireless
telegraph station using wlrelesj apparatus
mtiat, of course, be within constitutional
limits. The recommendations of the In-ter-denrfrtmental
hoard, in so far as they
concern this department, have been
referred to a board of the deartment's
officers. Should that board submit a
leclslatlve nroioct on the subject which
meets the approval of the department it
will be transmitted to congress.
