RISS1A TO It EDI II. n ITS NAVY
Plan Contemplates Erection of Mon

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1. With refer
ence to the report published In the United
States under a St. Petersburg date that
Emperor Nicholas has sanctioned the ex
penditure of $03,(00,1)00 for the rebuilding of
the Russian navy, has elicited the fact that
the rebuilding of the navy has not been
determined. All that is positively known
Is that the plans cover a long period of
years. The absolute necessity of a sea
power Is one of Russia's latest lessons of
the present war and with practically the
complete destruction of the Port Arthur
fleet the government Is determined not only
on filling the gap, but on building up the
fleet, which will keep Russia fully abreast
of other first-class powers. The press has
unanimously supported the plans of the
government for the regeneration and reor
ganlxatlon of the navy, and to this end it
has been determined to build up great ship
yards at home. The figures given, how
ever, are not confirmed. The Russ, on
December 30, speculated upon a five-year
program with an expenditure of ia.0U0.000,
and on December 31 upon a flfteen-yeur
program and 1750,000,000 expenditure.

Proposition for Repeal
of Claase.
(From a Sta.T Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. l.-lSpeclal.)-The
action of the Woman a Army and Navy
league, composed of the wives and daugh
ters of officers of the army and navy, in
unanimously adopting a resolution provid
ing for the restoration of the sale of beer
and light wines in the canteens at army
posts Is regarded as of the very greatest
Importance and it Is expected will have
a decided bearing upon the effort now be
ing made to restore the canteen.- The
membership of the league at present is
almost l,0uO, representing women scattered
all over the face Of the earth, eauh one
of whom is taking an active Interest in
the work of the organization. Each neces
sarily comes In dally contact with the sol
diers and sailors and all are therefore In a
position to 1 know what will benefit these
men, better In every way than persons who
1 have Ilttlo nr no onuortunltv for close Con
tact with the army and the navy.
"Every woman IS Interested in keeping
our soldiers out of the liquor saloons and
degrading associations." said the wife of a
general staff "officer the other day, "and
everyone who is a member of the league
will be found working aealously for a repeal
of the so-called anti-canteen law of Febru
ary, 19ul, which simply prohibited the sale
of beer and light wines. There Is no ques
tion In our minds as to the advisability
of re-establishing beer as one of the bev
erages dispensed at the canteen. At the
time the bill passed congress abolishing the
sale of alcoholic liquors of every kind there
was no question as to what the effect of the
bill would be. Congress, through the War
department, sent letters of Inquiry to of
ficers of the army stationed all over the
country and In the Philippines, and 99 per
cent of the replies were agulnst the pass
age or adoption of any legislation which
would affect the status of the canteen as
then existing. "
Many Are Total Abstainers.
"In the Woman's Army and Navy leaguo
there are many women who would not per
mit liquor of any kind to come into their
homes, who are total abstainers in the
strictest sense of the word, but who,
through their study of the matter from Its
practical side, from the side that affects
the soldier the most, endorse without reser
vation the proposition for the repeal of the
anti-beer clause In the army regulations.
All the army chaplains are In favor ot It,
and there are few others who ever have
opportunity to see the soldier as he really
Is who are not hearty In their endorse
ment. We do not seek subterfuge In bring
ing out this petition. ' We aro heartily ana
unqualifiedly In favof of the sale of beer In
the canteen and every one of us is deter
mined to leave no stone unturned to secure
the repeal of what we regard as an Iniqui
tous law."

Washington City Shows Gain.
When the new Washington city directory
makes its appearance In January It will be
found that tho population of tho capital
city Is now about 320,000, an Increase of
from 6.000 to 8,000 over that of last year.
The directory will register more than 100,000
names, at least 8,000 more than Its predeces
sor. For the first time It has been possible to
take the census of employes of the Wash
ington navy yard and the government print
ing office, which officials have heretofore
refused to permit. However, during the
progress of the canvassing for the directory
many persons left Washington to vote, and
the list, which under other circumstances
would have been unusually long, has been
somewhat curtailed. Last year showed the
greatest increase In 'population, the com
pliers figuring It at 15,000.
Contests for Senatorshlps.
Contests over Vnited States senatorships
In several states will interest the politi
cians from the convening of congress on
until helr final settlement. Beginning
early In January many legislature
throughout the country will be in session,
but tho legislatures that will attract most
attention will be those of Delaware, Minne
sota and Wisconsin , where interesting
lights are promised. The Delaware tight,
which, like the poor we have always with
us. Is raging fiercely. Mr. "Gas" Addlcks
has announced the beginning of his bi
annual campaign for a seat In the upper
branch of congress and In consequence
there Is a monkey and parrot time In
progress over the distribution of the politi
cal plums between the regular ; and the
union republicans. The. dispatches from
Dover say that th Addlcks faction, num
bering twenty-two out of the thirty-one
republican legislators, have demanded two
thirds of the offices, which demand has
been met with a sickening refusal, the
minority faction of the republican party In
sisting that they must get more offices
than one-third, otherwise there will be no
organization of the legislature and conse
quently no election of senator.
In Minnesota It is a three-cornered fight
between Senator Clapp for re-election,
Governor Van flan! and Judge J. B. Gil
Allan. Senator Clapp has the backing of
Senator Knute Nelson, who Is regarded as
one of the smoothest politicians In that
neck o' woods. But Senator Clapp - has
Governor Van Bant to figure with and It Is
doubtful whether Minnesota ever had a
more popular chief executive than this
fame Van Sant. The governor Is a fighter
from away back, not with damascus blades,
but with bludgeons, and he Is after Clapp
because he says that he has gone back on
the promises made to him. As for Judge
GUflllan, he has the big Hennepin County
delegation at his bark. Senator Clapp does
not have the entire support of the St. Paul
and Ramsey county delegation and the
presence of Governor Van Sant in the
fight splits Up Senator Clapp's 1 country
support so that there is no sure thing for
anybody. It Is anybody's fight and might re
sult In the choice of a dark horse like
James A. Tawney, a member of congress
or ex-Member of Congress Joel P. Heat
wo'.e. Who will come from Wisconsin T There
Is a fight alongside of which all other
fights pale Into. Insignificance. Senator
Quarles, the chief fugle man of the antl
iJiFolhtte faction, Is a candidate for re
election, but It Is thought by everybody
In these parts that his struggle is hopeless.
The control of the legislature by the La
Pullette faction foreshadows the defeat
of Benatnr Quirles. But up to this time
the I.aFullette men have not agreed among
themselves as to the seiuUorshlp. Repre
sentative Escn and the very rich Mr.
Uaao N. Stevenson are In the race and
each claims strong support. Even though
there has been no agreement reached by
Governor I-aFollette and his friends as to
a successor to Senator Quarles, It is not
thought for a moment but that an under
standing will be arrived at In ample time
to bring about an election, prior to March
4. It is even hinted that should needful
legislation be enacted In good time that
Governor LaFollette himself might be
averse to tackling the Job of holding down
a senate seat himself. This might make
the boys mad, but as he has been the
active, resourceful head of the faction
that has been fighting Senator Spooner for
years. It might not be regarded as party
treachery If LaFollette should accept the
senatorshlp himself. Having won such a
phenomenal victory as he did in Novem
ber last It Is not believed that Governor
LaFollette will permit any bickerings or
quarrellngs In his camp and that when
the time comes a solid and enthusiastic
front will be presented to the enemy.
"fihste to J. Hampton Moore.
The appointment of J. Hampton Moore,
president of the Republican National
league, as chief of the bureau of manu
factures, Department of Commerce and
Labor, Is looked upon In Washington as an
exceedingly grateful tribute on the part
of the president to 'a sterling young re
publican whose ability Is particularly well
known In the east. Mr. Moore was former
city treasurer of Philadelphia, going out
of office on January 1, 1904. Up to the
time of his election as city treasurer of
Philadelphia Mr. Moore was connected
with the staff of the Public Ledger, join
ing that paper In 1SS3 and becoming the
real estate and labor editor under the late
George W. Chllds. He has been one of the
most active republicans in the (Junker City
and as he Is a gifted orator he has been
much In demand by political organisations
throughout the country. His work as
president of the National Republican
league brought him particularly to the
attention of I'resident Roosevelt, and as
he displayed ability as an organizer the
president, In casting about for a chief of
the manufactures bureau of the Depart
ment of Commerce, hit upon Mr. Moore.
After consultation with Senator Penrose
and the political leaders of the Keystone
slate It was unanimously decided to tender
the place to Mr. Moore. And he will enter
upon his duties shortly after the new
year.
Irrigation from Green River.
The reclamation service has finished a
recounalsance survey of Green river be
tween Green river, Wyoming, and Ouray,
Utah. The survey was made to determine
the most favorable location for a storage
reservoir which would control the entire
flow of the river. A number of reservoir
sites were visited and examinations were
made of the width of the river valley and
the slope of the river for the purpose ot
estimating the capacity of these, reservoirs.
One of the important sites examined Is
known as the Flaming Gorge reservoir, lo
cated forty miles south of Green River
City, and sixty-six miles below that town
by river. The dam site Is in Flumlng Gorge
canon, about one and a half miles below the
mouth of Henry Fork. The slope of the
river above Henry Fork is quite uniform,
being two feet per mile at Henry Fork and
three feet per mile at Brldger valley. The
capacity of the reservoir, with a 100-foot
dam. Is between 300,000 and 30,000 acre feet.
To Impound the water in Flaming Gorge
would require a dam 800 feet long at crest
and 3S0 feet long at the water surface. The
land covered by the reservoir site Is chiefly
unimproved.
Brown's Park reservoir, located fifty-five
miles south of Rock Springs, Wyo was
also examined. The dam site Is in the
upper end of Ladon canon, where a 100
foot dam would store 850,000 acre feet ot
water. The land covered by this reservoir
Is chiefly winter pasture land. - Approxi
mately 600 acres of Irrigated " land along
BeaveT, Willow and Grouse creeks and In
the bottoms of Green river would be cov
ered by the reservoir.
Examinations were also made of Island
Park reservoir, located twenty-two miles
northeast of Vernal. Utah, In Split Moun
tain canyon; the Narrows reservoir site,
located fourteen miles southeast of Vernal
In the Narrows, and the bura reservoir
site at Utah. The capacity of the first men
tioned reservoir is 150,000 acre-feet. The
Ouray reservoir site includes the lower
valleys of the Duchesne and White rivers.
From the preliminary examination the en
gineers concluded that Browne park Is the
most favorable location for a storage reser
voir, 'and a detailed survey was made of
the site on a scale of one Inch to 2,(00 feet.
With a dam 200 feet high In the canyon the
area of the contour Is thlrty-nino square
miles, the acreage area 25,2-0, and the total
capacity 2,415,230 acre-feet. It is expected
that the surveys will be continued during
the coming season, with a view of prepar
ing plans for a large reclamation project
In this section.
Omaha Man's Success.
Thll Rose was In town last week. That
ts Phil M. Rose of New York, but formerly
of Omaha and the Union Pacific railroad.
Rose came east to go into the liquor busi
ness and It was but a short time when he
became known to the trade as one of the
best agents In the country. The money
didn't come fast enough for him, however,
and so he kept his eye open for u partner
to establish a wholesale liquor company
of his own. The partner hus been found
and Phil Rose will become a member of
the firm of Levy, Rose & Co. efte Janu
ary 1, supplying Jobbers all over the coun
try with "wet" goods. That's what bound
less enthusiasm will do for a man.

STORMY SCENE WITH ONE VESTRYMAN
Telegram Which He Denied fendtng
Ren-ardln Presentation Against
Bishop la Prod area and
Confounds. Him.
HUNTINGDON, Pa., Jan. l.-Rev. Dr. 1.
N. W. Irvine, the deposed pastor of St.
John s Episcopal church, who arrived here
from Philadelphia last night and Imme
diately sought seclusion In the home of
Vestryman W. F. Hlllier, one of the men
whose names appear on the presentment ot
Bishop Ttlbot, left for the east today.
Dr. Irvine looked careworn and hag
gard. During his short visit he maintained
an uninterrupted silence to all newspaper
Interviewers. At the station a reporter for
the Associated Press was cordially greeted
by Dr. Irvine, but the clergyman would
give no information concerning the purpose
of the visit. Vestryman Hlllier was like
wise sTent.
Dr. Irvine's nnexpected departure today
Is viewed Inexplicable, alike by his friends
and opponents. He communicated with
none of his former vestrymen or parishion
ers and denied himself to all friends. It Is
generally believed that the briefness of his
visit was due to his failure to Influence the
vestrymen who have repudiated their sig
natures on the presentment to permit their
names to remain on that paper. It is un
derstood that an effort was made by Dr.
Irvine to communicate with John Langdon,
one of the men who repudiated the present
ment, but without success. When asked
today whether he had seen Dr. Irvine Mr.
Langdon said: "No, and I don't want to.
He knows better than to come to my houss.
I feel deeply grieved at the publicity my
name has been given In the matter and ,
would gladly escape any further annoy
ance. It seems that Irvine's sole purpose Is
to destroy the tranquillity of our parish."
Miller Received Telegram.
It Is now definitely known that Vestry
man W. G. Miller did receive a telegram
with Dr. Irvine's name signed to It asking
him to keep quiet and that a letter ex
plaining the .misrepresentation would fol
low. Counsellor Herbert Noble denies that
such a telegram was sent by the deposed
clergyman. Since the receipt of the tele
gram Vestryman Miller, who received the
signatures to the presentment, has
brusquely refused to speak further on the
subject.
In expectation of Dr. Irvine's visit to
St. John's church a larger crowd was col
lected than the little church could accom
modate. The rector, Dr. T. M. Johnson,
made no reference to the present contro
versy which had Its origin In the parish
under Dr. Irvine's rectorship.
Mrs. Elliott, whose name has been con
spicuously used In the case and who was
denied communion by Dr. Irvine, attended
the services today.
After Dr. Irvine's departure some of the
details of his visit became known. It
was learned that Dr. Irvine and Mr. Hlllier
had some differences over the telegram
received by Mr. Miller and that Dr. Irvine
left the Hilller house and spent the night
at tho home of Mr. Miller. After Dr.
Irvine's arrival last night Mr. Hilller called
at the homo of James Dcnlthorne ant In
formed him that Dr. Irvine would like to
see him. Mr. Langdon was present. Mr.
Dcnlthorne replied that If, Dr. Irvine
wanted to see lUm he knew where to find
him. Dr. Irvine, be said, certainly owed
him an explanation, but he did not pro
pose to hunt up the clergyman to get It.
During the rfonvVysatlon the Miller tele
gram was mentioned by Mr. Denlthorne
and Mr. Miller said that Dr. Irvine had,
Informed him that he had not sent such a
message. Mr. Denlthorne produced the
original telegram received by Mr. Miller,
which surprised Mr. Hilller. The latter
then returned home and had a warm Inter
view with Dr. Irvine, the outcome of which
was that the clergyman went to the home
of Mr. Miller.
Presentment Will Fall.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1. Weary ,and al
most worn out from the strain he has been
under during the past week. Rev. Dr. I.
N. W. Irvine returned here from Hunting
don, Pa., tonight. lie was met at the rail
road station by his son-in-law and newspa
per reporters. He refused to speak of his
visit to Huntingdon and went Immediately
to his home. After dinner he attended serv
ices at the Church of the Savior, of which
Rev. Dr. W. B. Bodlne, chairman of the
Board of Inquiry, is rector. After the serv
ices Dr. Irvine was again met by newspa
per men but he persisted In his refusal to
discuss his trip to Huntingdon or to answer
questions put to him.
There is a growing feeling among the
clergymen here 4onlght that the proceed-
! Ings brought by Dr. Irvine against Bishop
Talbot will fall If the Huntingdon vestry
men persist In their repudiation of having
signed the presentment. It Is believed that
If the Huntingdon men officially Inform
Bishop Tuttle, the. presiding bishop, that
they did not knowingly sign a presentment,
that the St. Louis prelate will officially dis
solve the board.
BETHLEHEM. Pa., Jan. l.-BIshop
Ethelbert Talbot of the central Pennsyl
vania diocese filled his offices at the cathe
dral at Mauch Chunk today. There were
no developments here today In the Irvine
Talbot case. The bishop, his family and
their friends continue to remain silent.
Bishop Talbot denies the report that he had
finally decided to Issue a statement regard
ing the charges made against him.
FIGHT CROWS WARM
(Continued from First Page.)
While the action of Burkett's managers
may not result In any serious trouble for
Butkett at this time, In so far as his can
didacy for the senate Is concerned, It will
have the effect of placing him in the senate,
not as the personal choice of the members
of the legislature, but as the object of
circumstances and he will be elected with
out the personal regard of many of the
legislators, whom his managers have
whipped into line.
One of the busiest men around these days j
is iieiiry 1.. in. vuiirai, uunirman ot ine
republican state committee. Burgess pos
sesses the happy faculty ot trying to get
on all sides' at once, without allowing the
right hand to know what the left hand
doeth. Burgees wants to go to congress
when Mr. Burkett shall have been promoted
and he can only go by the grace of the
voters of the First Congressional district.
Just at this time the legislators in. this dis
trict ars desirous of placing a South Platte
man In the speaker's chair. The Union Pacific-Northwestern
railroad Is responsible
for Burgess being chairman of the state
committee and also for thj vote of thanks
tendered him by the committee. This or
ganization la for Douglas for speaker and
in this contest every vote will count. Con
sequently Burgess is between the devil and
the deep sea. If he doeun't get In the
South Platte combination he Is forever lust
In so far as a seat In congress Is concern tl
and If he does get In this combination he
will have the Union Pscltlc-IIummonda,
81xer-Burkett-Norlh Western combination on
his back like a pack of wolves. Mr. Chair
man Burgess Is having a strenuous time.
An interesting envelopment 1 today, was
that Koetter, who wants to be serges nt-at-arms
of the house. Is not a part of the
machine that Is trying to make Westberg
chief clerk of the house. Instead, West
berg's friends are afraid of Koetter. Lnt
night one of them called upon him te
withdraw and throw his Influence tn West
berg. Koetter turned down the proposi
tion with scorn. Koetter realizes that
If Westberg Is made It will hurt him. be
cause these two could not possibly land.
"It would be a pretty out for me to come
down here and work for Westberg." he
said, "wouldn't It? I want to be sergeant-at-arms
of the house and if Westberg Is
elected It will hurt my chances." Koetter
hai changed considerably since he was here
two years ago In that he announced todity
that he was opposed to the railroads or
ganizing the legislature and was of the
opinion that the member should do the
organising.
Among the outsiders here looking on la
former Representative Spurlock of Cass
county. Two years ago Mr. Spurlock was
quite a factor In the house, but at the
close of the session he removed to Omaha
and became the law partner of Tom Black
burn, against the advice of many of his
Cass county friends. This morning he
expressed himself as being extremely snrry
that he was not now a member of the old
guard. He and Blackburn, however, have
dissolved partnership. Before gnlng to
Omaha Spurlock was looked upon as good
congressional timber from this district, but
he has missed his opportunity,
v
Seme Fnn with Knox.
Represrntatlvs Knox of Buffalo county,
one of the strong members of the last
house, came In last night and was abused
shamefully, though good-naturedly, be
cause at one time during the campaign
It was reported that ho was afraid of
the outcome. Judge Aaron Wall, senator
from the same district, was called upon
to verify the chargo against Knox. The
latter retaliated when Wall stood against
him by charging that Wall was more
scared than he.
"I was a little frightened over Knox's
chances," replied the Judge, "that's a
fact, though of course I never felt the
least bit of uneasiness concerning the
outcome of my own fight." Knox went
off by himself to study up needed legisla
tion. Convenes at Two O'clock.
The legislature will convene at 12
o'clock Tuesday, at which time the sec
retary of state will call the house to or
der and the lieutenant governor will call
the senate to order. A committee of five
will be chosen In the house and a com
mittee of ihree will be elected In the
senate to pass on the credentials of the
members. When this Is done the mem
bers of each house will proceed to a pVr
manent organisation. The oath will be
administered by Chief Justice H'olcomb of
the supreme court. The statutes limit the
house to seventy-five employes and the
senate to sixty-five. This Is going to
cause much grief and consternation
among the applicants for places, for they
are more numerous than klnfolks and Just
as insistent. In the matter of employes
both houses will keep the number down
to the lowest limit,' and there Is going
to be some sore spots before the session
is over and there will be plenty of dis
appointed and aggrieved members to see
that the majority does not overstep the
bounds of economy, unless the minority
gets In, and the minority won't. In this
case the minority does not mean fusionlsts,
but losing republicans.
Knslonlsts Are Ioneome.
Diligent search was made last night to get
a line on the fusionlsts to find where they
were In conference, but without success.
Even a rumor to the effect that a telegram
had been received from Tom Taggart ask
ing whether the fusionlsts would caucus
in the Oliver theater or the Auditorium
failed to disclose their whereabouts. It
was rumored that Gerdes of Richardson
county would be given a complimentary
vote for speaker, but even this could not
be verified. In the meantime a careful
watch Is being kept for the fusionlsts for
either side In the speakership fight be able
to land them all and thus- break a slate
fixed up In the caucus.
Among the legislators here last night and
today were: Members of the house: W. H.
Wilson of Pawnee, H. R. Howe of Nemaha,
William Deles Dernier of Cass, Frank Fltle

PROSPEROUS BUSINESS YEAR
New York Life Insurance Company
Makes av Itecord to Be
Proud Of.
NEW YORK, Jan. l.-(Speclal Telegram.)
The several financial reviews Indicate
that 1904 has been a year of very great
prosperity. Tho president's message, with
Its recommendations ss to the tariff and
control of the public corporations has been
very favorably commented upon by the
business interests and no fear Is expressed
that extreme opinions on either side will
prevail In congressional enactment. The
great corn and cotton crops have made the
west and south prosperous and comfortable
and the labor situation In the manufactur
ing districts ot the north and east is most
satisfactory. The banking Interests in all
sections report excellent results for fhe
year. The insurance business, except for
the Baltimore fire, has never been more
prosperous. The life part of It is mani
fested by the yearly report of the New
York Life company. President McCall states
that the year has produced the largest
business ever reported by any similar com
pany. The policy holders are nearly 1,000,
000 In number, and the Insurance in force
approximates 12,000,000,000 In. amount. The
last quarter of the year added nearly 13J,
OOO.Ouo of applications for new Insurance In
a total exceeding fo00,C00,000 for the year.
The company's policy reserve securities
Include government, state, municipal and
railroad bonds to the extent of 1290,000,000.
No stocks of any kind are held as Invest
ments, and no bond In the list is In default
of interest. The company during the sixty
years of its existence, has paid In claims to
policy holders over $460,000,000.
The enormous exports of the fiscal year,
1,400,JS,000. and the advance orders In the
steel and iron trade all Indicate that 19u5
will be a record year, unless labor troubles,
which are not looked for new, arise to
change tae situation.

PR0GR1MS OF TWO HOUSES
Hill Currency Bill Hai Eight ef Way en
the Hen.se Side.
SUPPLY BILLS BEING PUSHED FORWARD
Contest for Precedence on In the
Senate Between the Statehood
and the Pnre Food
Bills.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. Before adjourn
ing for the holidays the house of repre
sentatives made the Hill currency bill the
continuing order until disposid of by a vote
or displaced by a privileged matter. The
bill will come up Wednesdny soon after the
house meets, according to the present pro
gram and polbly a vote may be reached
upon It Thursday. Friday, under the rules,
will be devoted to war claims and there Is
enough business on .the aalendar to take
up a whole day. The appropriation com
mittee has the fortifications appropriation
bill about ready to report and may be
considered In the house on Saturday. An
other effort may be made to secure consid
eration of the resolution allowing the use of
the pension office fur the Inaugural ball,
but objections are likely, and the resolution
In all probability will go over until the
following Monday, which Is set apart for
District of Columbia business.
The committees having In charge the dif
ferent appropriation bills have been push
ing them with considerable vigor and this
week will see them well advanced. Especial
effort Is being made to get the supply bills
over to the senate at an early date.
Program of the Senate.
It Is expected thnt not more than three
days of the present week will be devoted
to legislation by the senate. Congress re
assembles after the holiday recess on
Wednesday, January 4, and the present In
tention Is that the senate adjourn on Fri
day until Monday. The first day there will
be a contest for place between the bill ere
atlng two states of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory and Arlxona and New Mexico and
the pure food bill. The steering committee
of the senate decided to give preferenc to
the stathood bill and the pure food bill has
been accorded time when nothing else was
under consideration. Chairman BeVerldge
of the committee on territories will move
consideration of the statehood bill and
Chairman Heyburn of the committee on
manufacturers will antagonise It with the
pure food measure. It Is generally under
stood that the statehood bill, having the
sanction of the steering committee, will
be made the unfinished business.
There are no appropriation bills ready for
consideration In the senate, although the
legislative, executive and Judicial bill haj
been before the committee during the re
cess and will be completed during the wee;i.

DR. CI1ADW1CK GIVES BAIL
(Continued from First Page.)
I am almost crushed. Of course, I am
not guilty of any wrong doing."
"How do the people of Cleveland look
upon me?" the doctor anxiously Inquired.
"For thirty-five years I have made that
city my home and this Is the first time
there has been the faintest taint on my
name. It Is all too awful to contempla'e.
Even my home has been taken from me
and If all reports are true I am a penniless
pauper. I cannot suspect my wife for
I must first learn her story from her own
lips before I can Judge her. Heaven grant
that it all may be cleared up at once."
Met by Attorney.
After that statement Dr. Chadwlck was
silent until his train reached Euclid Ave
nue station of the Pennsylvania line, where
he was greeted by Attorney Kerrulsh.
The two men have been friends for fifteen
years. After leaving the Jail, Dr. Chad
wlck, with Mr. Kerrulsh, had breakfast
In a downtown restaurant.
There has been some question In the
mind of the lawyers whether Dr. Chadwlck
has the occupancy of his Euclid avenue
home since It has been taken possession
of for the beneW of the cr
Chadwlck, tinqfl has bean
reditors of Mrs.
thought by the
lawyers that Dr. Chadwlck cannot be
barred from Its use. He rpent the day at
the home of Attorney Virgil Kline and
may go to his own home tomorrow.
May Canse Harry Trouble.
In permitting Dr. Chadwlck to visit his
wife today Sheriff Barry may find himself
In trouble with the federal authorities, be
cause the visit between the physician and
his wife had been allowed without a formal
application to the federal authorities anil
the necessary permit to visit having been
granted.
Recently Federal Judge Wing directed
that no person be allowed to see Mis.
Chadwlck without a permit In unt'i g from
the court or the United States marshal, Ihe
tame to be asked formally and In writing.
Sheriff Barry today permit' id Dr. Chriu
wick to call upon his wife without that for
mality and as a consequence the federal
officers have been In consultation to see
what their procedure should be. t.'Hted
States Marshal Chandler Is quoted as hir
ing said that tho sheriff may Ind himself
In trouble over the affair. On the other
hand Sheriff Barry suld that he was the

custodian of the county Jill and of Its tn
mate.4 and thnt he was going to conduct It
according to the rules which guide all
county Institutions. If his treatment of
Mrs. Chadwlck was not In accordance with
the federal court's orders, the sheriff
thought that Mrs. Ch.idalck should be
taken care of In a federal Institution!
Sheriff ItHrry retires from office nt midnight
tonight, after having sorvrd four years as
sheriff.
The mysterious trunk and hand satchel
belonging to Mrs. Ca.slo L. Chadwlck.
which were taken from the Holland housn

there prior to her arrest, arrived in this
city today, consigned to Receiver Nathan
Locser.
Neither of the receptacles has yet been
opened and It Is not known what their con
tents consists of. Receiver Loe."er left fee
