UNABLE TO find JEWELS.
MAID AND SON OF MRS. CHAD
WICK QUESTIONED.
Hearing in Bankruptcy Case Begun
in Woman Too III
to Appear.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 20.-Mrs. Cassie u.
Chadwick was too i'll to appear Monday
before Referee Remington, in the bank
ruptcy case against her. The announce
ment to that effect was made in the
bankruptcy court, and Attorney Gross
man, representing the creditors, stated
that he would later in the day confer
with Attorney Dawley. counsel for Mrs.
Chadwick, to decide as to when her
hearing will take place.
The examination of Freda Swanstrom,
Mrs. ChadWick's maid, was then begun
by Attorney Grossman, with view to
securing information as to the where
abouts of valuable jewels and papers be-
longing to her employer. Miss Swan
strom said she had been in Mrs. Chad
Wick'S employ for six months and ac-
companied her on all of her trips. These
numbered six or seven, she said, and
were from Cleveland to New York. and
once to Boston. She was not the con-
fdante of Mrs. Chadwick, she said, and
could not tell the purpose of the trips
to New York. Asked concerning the
Boston visit, the witness said she re-
manned at the hotel while Mrs Chad
wick went visiting. The witness said
she never looked after Mrs. Chadwick S
jewels. Mrs. Chadwick took care of
them herself She had seen the Jewels
several times, but did not know where
they were.
Mrs. Chadwick's son Emil was then
called. He told of first hearing of his
mothers trouble, and of her telling him
not to believe certain things printed in
the newspapers about her. He could not
tell the present whereabouts of the
trunk or satchel which were removed
from the Holland house. The man
ager of the hotel, the witness said, had
told his mother that it would be better
that the baggage be removed, as it was
understood levy was to be made upon
it. His mother did not tell him where
the property was taken.

Two Remedies for Private Gar Mon
opoly Suggested - Large Increase
in Railway Casualties During 1904
Earnings of Roads.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The eighteenth
annual report of the Interstate com
merce commission was sent to congress
Monday. Regulation of rates and pro-
posed legislation on the subject are dealt
with at length. Attention is called to
the necessity of legislation giving the
commission power to fix the rate where
the tariff complained of is found to be
excessive. The presidents message on
this point urging legislation is quoted
Reference is made to the priyate-car
monopoly, which was aired at recent
hearing in Chicago. Two remedies for
the monopoly are suggested First
by making the common carriers respon-
sible in the matter of this special equip
ment and refrigeration service, if they
are not now responsible. Second, by
bringing the carline companies which
provide this refrigeration for interstate
shipments under the jurisdiction of the
their charges subject to the determine
ton of this commission
Switching charges made by terminal
roads in Chicago are found to be excess
siVe and are condemned.
Many Complaints Heard.
The report shows 4S7 complaints filed
during the year, including formal and
Informal proceedings and investi cations
instituted by the commission. The num-
Der OF formal proceedings brought be-
fore the commission was 81, involving
the rates and practices of 302 carriers.
Hearings and Investigations were held
In Washington, and at numerous cit
les in various parts Of the country.
Eleven cases before the commission
were Settled or discontinued.
Increase in Fatalities
According to the report there were 49,
266 employees injured and 1867 killed
thus far in 1904, as compared with 80, I'll
injured and 2,516 killed in 1903. The fig
ures for 1903 are intermediate between
those for 1902 and 1904 In 1904 there
were SOFT passengers injured and 42O
killed; in 1902, 6,O89 injured and 303
killed; in 1908 there were 6,973 injured
and 321 killed. The increase in the num-
Der of deaths of passengers in train ac-
cidents in 1904 compared with 1903 is
6471a per cent. The fact that there were
ten unusually disastrous accidents DUR
ing the year is mentioned as partially
accounting for the increased casualties.
The block system is again urged as a par
tial remedy.
Gross earnings of the railways repre-
senting 209, O02 miles of line, 80 per cent.
of the whole, are given as 81 ,966, 633, 821,

the Europeans in the Holy Land are
found within religious institutions,
principally in converts and nonas-
teries. In all villages of any import
ance there is Christian church and
a convent; sometimes there are two.
belonging to different sects; indeed, IL
is not unusual TO find a large church
built over some great traditional site.
and numerous chapels within. each
representing a different Christian sect.
Among the most important and, in
tcresting converts in Palestine is the
Convent 81 the Cross. This is one Of
the most valued possessions of the
Greek Church. The story which is
woven around this spot is very pc
culiar. linking together. as it does.

strange legend which supposes them
all to have had something to do with
the tree which was planted in Abra-

cross of Christ.
The convent presents very me
dieval appearance. being 4 large,
gloomy. square building of stone. 1t
is situated in the valley Of Gihon, on
the southwest Of Jerusalem. The con-
vent is built low down in the valley.
which a6ounds in large olive trees. All
around are the bare. stony hills which
inclose the little vale. Rugged paths
lead down to the monastery. Which
stands absolutely alone. distant from
every village.
The chapel bell. ringing for mathis
and vespers. re-echoing over these
hills. is heard only by the devout
within the convent and perhaps by
some stray peasant treading his way
over the hills to Jerusalem. or a shep-
herd boy cheerfully playing his flute
as he leads his sheep home. The CON
vent was established by the Greek
Patriarch of Jerusalem TO form a
boarding school for youths wishing to
be trained for the priesthood. Some
OF the students are natives of Pales-
tine. and others come from Greece

Punishment from Eden, in this valley,
which was then covered with beautt
full white flowers. The story goes on
to tell how Abraham and Lot, many
years later, visited the spot, and Lot
was commanded by an angel to plant
a young tree in the valley. He did so,
and brought water with which to re-
fresh it all the way from the River
jordan.
still seven hundred years later,
King Solomon came here when con
templating the erection of his beauti

his worSmen TO cut down the best

was SO beautiful they regretted hav.
ing to cut it down. But they obeyed
the kings command. and as they did
so IN exquisite odor like incense filed

this tree was prepared in the valley
itself. But the beams they brought
