NEWTON LOSES HOPE. wouIdp't Give Much for .Iri Reynold's
 Securitleo.

q
 Securities.
 Boston, Dec 9.--With reference to the statement of Rev. Chas. A. Eaton of Cleveland, that he assisted in hav- ing introduced Mrs. N. c. I. Chadwick and Herbert D. Newton, though he was not well acquainted with the woman, MT. Newton said today:
 All I've got to say Is this: don't see why. simply because man hap pens to be a minister of the Gospel he should not step forth In man -fas shion us ;"
 "will you state just what you mean to conveyr Mir. Newton was asked.
 'You may draw whatever conclusions you please" was the answer.
 Asked If he entertained any bitter ness toward Mrs. Chadwick, he said:
 T can truthfully say do not; have suffered much through this af- fair, but I can say with truth that bear no malice toward any one.
 T couldn't help thinking this morn. ing. when reading the account of Mrs Chadwick's troubles. that The way oi the transgressor Is hard pity hei from the bottom of my heart" ~
 Concerning the report crediting Mir Newton with hoping for a settlement through John D. Rockefeller. on the assumption that he would not wish to have his pastors name dragged in to the affair, MT. Newton said:
 There Is no truth in that report have had hopes of a settlement, but not through Mir. Rockefeller.
 Mrs. Chadwick represented to me that she had certain securities in the care of Iri Reynolds and was shown an affidavit signed by him, stating that he had in his possession stocks and bonds belonging to her valued at $6.- 0o0,000. and upwards. | don't under stand that there Is any question con- corning the genuineness of this affida- wit. and on that rest my case"
 Did you see the securities in ques- ton. Mir. Newton?" he was asked.
 T did not. I didn't consider 1t nec- essary considering the name signed to the notes and Mir. Reynolds name as voucher for her ownership of the $5,- 900. 900 in securities"
 Asked if he could give any descrip- tion of the securities. MT. Newton said: "A list of them was furnished me and this list was accompanied by a sworn statement that Mrs. Chadwicks semi- annual income from the securities was $175,000. That sum was named as Q conservative estimate of their actual value. The most of them were divi- nd-bearine stocks. 'sss -s -sf Mir. Newton admitted s4hat his chances of getting anything from the tangie of Mrs. chadwick's affairs Is slim. -a -
 T believe, however. that if the wo- man had not been driven to bay so quickly I should have received my money" he said. There were certain | influences working that might have eventually resulted in a settlement in full"
 Perhaps that strong box held by Iri Reynolds In the vaults of the Wade Park National Bank in Cleveland may contain ample funds to recoup you. Mir, Newton" suggested the reporter. The banker smiled grimly. What would you give for those securities on Il gambler" he asked.

Mrs. Josephine Yates. of Kansas City. is
a member of the executive committee of
the National Council of Women, which
meets in Indianapolis the first week in
February. Mrs. Yates is president Of the
National Association of Colored Women,
and in receiving or refusing to receive her
socially the Indianapolis Local Council will
announce its stand on the color question.
When the National Council met in New
Orleans last year the presence of two or
three colored delegates was the occasion
of some disagreeable friction among the
New Orleans women, and incidentally the
source OF a number of interesting stories
anent the actual attitude OF theoretically
broadminded women. The New Orleans
women refused To recognize the colored
delegates socially or to have anything to
do with them. and while they were accorded
recognition at the business sessions they
did not come in for a share of the social
attentions shown the other delegates. But
indianapolis is not New Orleans and it is
probable that Indianapolis will meet the

executive committee in different manner
