In no right sense a valid Index of the pros

tain stages of industrial development In a
primitive country there would be little out
side trade until cheap communication be
came established, and then division of labor
developed among nations, the natural ad
vantages of a country determined what

produce became a subject of International
trade. Foreign trade grew rapidly after the
establishment of free trade and there were
signs that the growth would be less rapid.
Certain trades received a check to their
expansion and from these catne the cry of

depression a favorable opportunity was
offered to the political quack who pretended

PANIC IN CHICAGO THEATER
Small Fire In Hear of McVlckcr's
Sends Audience Rushing; to
the Street.
CHICAGO, Dec. 31. A catastrophe was
narrowly averted tonight at McVlcker's
theater, all on account of an Incipient Are
In a temporary shed at the back of the
theater. A cry of "Are," as a volume of
smoke burst through an open exit created
a panlo and the audience became frantic
In their efforts to escape from the theater.
Coming so close on the anniversary of the
Iroquois theater fire, the audience, fearing
that the Iroquois disaster was to be re
peated, paid little attention to the manager
of ths play house, who came out on the
stage and told them that there was not the
slightest danger of the fire reaching the
theater. "There la not the slightest cause
for alarm," cried the manager, "keep your
seata, or If you wish you may go outside
and assure yourselves that the theater is
not on fire."
His words for a time had little effect on
the terrified audience, for, with a rush, a
majority of the playgoers left their seats
and hurried to the exits and Are escapes.
In their efforts to reach the street many
of them were bruised and cut by falling
over each other. Mrs. Adda Blake of
Waterloo, la., who, with her young daugh
ter, occupied seats In the second balcony,
was thrown forward on ths stairway, while
trying to escape, and fell almost the entire
flight, suffering severe bruises about the
body and limbs. She was sent to the home
of friends. Before quiet could be restored
many other persons suffered slight bruises
and several articles of jewelry and cloth
ing were lost In the panic. As soon as
those who were in front of the frantic
crowd reached the street and saw that the
fire did not amount to anything, they noti
fied the frightened persons behind of the
facts and the audience finally quieted down
and returned to their seats, where they
remained until ths play was finished.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Sl.-(Speclal Tele-gram.)-Albert
O. Wright, supervisor of In
dian schools, who some weeks ago made an
exhaustive examination of conditions on ths
Winnebago reservation growing out of the
charges made by Father Schell, Is lying
dangerously ill at his home In Madison,
Wis. Supervisor Wright, it is supposed,
gathered many Interesting facta regarding
the situation on and contguous to ths
Winnebago reservation, but owing to his
sudden Illness his observations have not yet
been communicated to the Indian bureau.
Commissioner Jones regrets this, as it had
been his hope to clear up the moral atmos
phere alleged to surround the Wlnnebngoes
before his term of office expired. However,
it nw seems that that is not to be, and It
will remain for his successor, Francis E.
Leupp, to deal with the troublesome prob

been fully expected for some time by those
officials having to do with the case, and It
therefore came as no surprise. Secretary
Hitchcock frankly stated that he had

while Attorney General Moody, who acted
In conjunction with the Interior depart

the result of the grand Jury's Invcstlga

too, was prepared for no other decision than
the indictment of ths two men.
secretary iiitcncocK consented to make a
brief statement concerning the cuss. II
said:
From Information which has come to me
from time to time I am not surprised at
tne indictments or course, while we all
regret that men occupying high stal.ons in
public life should gel within the clutches
of tne law, nevertheless tj. Initerior de

that this Is simply a beginning.
The secretary said he could not at this
time go Into ths details of the cases against
Senator Mitchell and Representative Her

returned to Washington when the Portland
dispatch was brought to his house.
District Attorney Hall Removed.
President Roosevelt today directed the re
moval from office of John M. Hall, United
States district attorney for Oregon. Mr.
Hall has been prosecuting land fraud cases
and the removal is made in connection with
them.
The announcement of the removal was
made by Attorney General Moody as he
left the White House after a conference
with the president. He declined to say
what charges. If any, had been made
against Hull, but added that for the good
of the service It was believed heat to dis
pense with him, particularly in connection
with the land fraud cases in Oregon.
Earlier In the day Senator Fulton of
Oregon had a talk with the president con
cerning land fraud cases which have been
Instituted by ths government In Oregon,
but whether this conference had any rela
tion to the removal df the district attorney
could not be learned.
Mr. Hall was endorsed for reappointment
by Senator Mitchell and Representative
Hermann of Oregon, both of whom re
cently went to Portland, where they ap
peared before the grand Jury In connection
with that body's consideration of the cases
growing out of ths public land frauds. The
president took no action on this recom
mendation. The conduct of ths district at
torney's office at Portland has been in
quired into by the government representa
tives and reports on the facts adduced have
been transmlted here. The reports allege

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 3i.-When John
M. Hall, United States dUlrlct attorney for
the district ot Oregon, was shown the As
sociated Press dispatch from Washington
announcing the action of the president in
removing him from office, he was tiiundur
struck. He had no Information from Wash
ington that the blow was to fall, and when
shown the dispatch hs became angry and
condemned several officers of the govern
ment in strong terms. Later, Mr. Hall dis
cussed ths situation coolly, making the first
statement to the Associated Press as fol
lows; If It Is true that the president has re
lieved me, I have no knowledge of what
prompted him to take ths steo. I hava n.,i
been advised of the nature ot any ciiarges
against me. 1 Intend to go to the bottom
of this affair and have no fear but I cau
convince any fair man that 1 have not been
guilty of any act that would reflect any
discredit on me.
1 do not know who preferred the charges
but I am surprised that the president would
condemn an oftlcer whom he had appointed,
without a hearing or without any ciiancs
having been afforded me to defend my
self. The office of district attorney Is sn Im
material matter to me compared to my
good name, and I shall leave no stone un
turned to show the people of this sth'e that
1 have been attacked In the dark and by
the weapons of falsehood and uilsrepi esca

NEW YORK. Dec. 31.-Dr. Leroy S. Chad
wlck, husband of Mrs. Ctwsie U. Chadwlck.

ship Pretoria, ran the gauntlet of big
crowds which had waited for hours to see
him, was hauled to Hoboken police head
quarters and to the Recorder's cour and
finally left for Cleveland, not as a prisoner,
but as the guest of Sheriff Harry, who had
come from Ohio with a warrant Ur the
doctor's arrest, which he did not serve.
After the trying ordeal of the day Dr.
Chadwlck appeared cheerful when ho and
Sheriff Barry arrived at the Pennsylvania
depot in Jersey City this afternoon to take
the 6:16 train for Cleveland.
Sheriff Barry had left Dr. Chadwlck and
his daughter, MIbS Mary Chadwlck, at a
hotel In Hoboken, while he came to New
York to attend to some business. Ths sher
iff returned to the hotel early In the aft
ernoon and he and Dr. Chadwlck rode to
the depot in a cab.
During the hour's wait at the station Dr.
Chadwlck talked of his travels but de
clined to discuss his wife's troubles or his
own.
Ills daughter remained in Hoboken and In
a few days will go to Jacksonville, ria.
The doctor's departure was delayed several
hours that he might arrange for Miss Chad-
wick's trip south.
According to an Interview with a first
cabin passenger published here today. Miss
Mary Chadwlck said in ths course of ths
voyage to America:
We knew nothlna- or suspected nothing
until remittances from home began to fall
short. Now 1 have all my aowns. but none
of my money left.
1 don t know wnat it au means, i Know
thftt father Is not to blame . I think there
hits been some horrible mistake, that we
will be able to clear up when we get home.
I hated to believe that my momer wrong
fully used my money, although apparently
It Is all gone.
According to the Interview, Dr. Chadwlck
had lost SX.OuO of his money and several
hundred thousand dollars that lielonged to
his daughter in her own right has also dis
appeared. Dr. Chadwlck Interviewed.
Dr. Chadwlck gave the Associated Press
a long Interview on his arrival, in reply
to questions he said:
I am inexpressibly shocked by the re
cent turn of events. I am IrDvocent of all
charges against me and can point with
pride to a thirty-five years' residence In
Cleveland. I cannot believe that ths dread
ful things printed by the papers are true.
am entirely without Information as to
the cass except what I read In the papers
and what you have been good enough to
tell me. Bo I can say nothing of the
awful charges against myself. Oh, this Is
awful, awful, awful. My life the pust few
weeks has been a living death and I hops
no man will ever go through what I have
undergone. To think that my professional
career, which had always been sucoeeful.
should be blighted. My daughter Mary,
poor little dirllng, I love her with my
life. When I recovered from my Illness, In
Paris, my fiananclal resources made It
necessary for me to travel In the second
cabin. I insisted that she go first, but the
nobis girl refused and has kept at my sld,
cheering ms In my dark hour of troubls
and prov'ng to me more and more what a
splendid woman shs Is.

"Oh, this Is a dreadful calamity. I bad
no Idea that such a fate was mine. I knew
little of Mrs. Chadwlrk's financial affairs
and until I find out ths details will say

nothing. I am overwhelmed by the charges
against her."
Dr. Chadwlck read ths Associated Press
dispatch from Cleveland that Mrs. Chad
wlck had been measured by the Bertillon
system. As hs finished reading he groaned
aloud and, as he turned to the corre
spondent, tears rolled down his cheeks.
The doctor, already III and sore at heart,
was completely overwhelmed by the revela
tion and the consequent developments.
"That Is the last straw," he said, "meas
uring her in that way. Oh, that I am
brought to this. You tell me that my
friend, Mr. Barry, is here to take ms
back. Well, I am ready to go and shall
be happy to accompany him. But this la
a different homecoming than I anticipated.
I knew I should find troubles and breakers
ahead, but I never for a moment antici
pated arrest. OulltyT Of course, I'm not
guilty. I am absolutely Innocent. And you
say poor old Beck with Is very ill? Poor
man. I know him but little, but I am
sure he Is innocent."
The correspondent then told Dr. Chad
wlck of the statement that had been made
that Mrs. Chadwlck Is bellevd to be Mme.
Devere. The physician fell back as It
stunned.
"Mme. Devere," he cried. "Oh, no, no,
don't say that. That cannot be so. I do
not believe that such a thing can be pos
sible. It she Is I havo never suspectsd It,
and I cannot for a moment believe It."
"Do you think Mrs. Chadwlck can bs
guilty as accused?" wus asked.
"I cannot think her guilty of anything.
I do not know the charges, but she cannot
be guilty."
Bond Is lO.OOO.
CLEVELAND, Dec. Sl.Judge Tllden In
criminal court today fixed the bail of Dr.
Chudwlck at 110,000. Attorney Dawley
stated that a bond for thut amount will
probably be ready when Dr. Chadwlck
arrives here.
With tears streaming down her face and
wringing her hands In nervous excitement,
Mrs. Chadwlck today listened in ths corri
dor of the county Jail to the reudlng of ths
Associated Press dispatches telling of ths
scones enacted on board the steamer Pre
toria Incidental to the taking Into custody
of her husband, Dr. Chadwlck, by Bliurirt
Barry.
Mrs. Chadwlck was unable to control her
feelings and Interrupted the reading of the
dispatches with almost every word with
some comment. "Oh, my poor husband,"
she exclaimed between sobs. "To think
that he must be dragged, Into these terri
blo charges against me. He Is as Inno
cent of any wrong doing sa an unboro
babe."
