TWO ARRESTS MADE
IN THE CHADWICK CASE

Cleveland. o.. Dec. 5.--As the result
of a conference between the United
States district attorney, the bank ex-
aminers who have been looking into
the affairs of the failed Citizens Ma
tonal Bank of Oberlin and their
counsel, President G. T. BeclSwith and
Cashier Spear, of that bank, were
placed under arrest by United States
Marshal Chandler, of Cleveland, at
their homes in Oberlin
The Citizens National Bank, with
which they are connected as creditor
to the extent of $25O,O00 from Mrs
Chadwick. whose financial affairs dur
ing the past week have been the cause
of a great deal Of publicity. The bank
is capitalized at but 100000.
The warrants on which Beokwith
and Spear were arrested charge them
with violation OF the federal banking
laws.
Nathan Loeser, received for Mrs.
Chadwick's property, said that he
would qualify in that Office and would
then file his bond for $4,000. Loeser
also said that he would try to have
the chattel mortgage held by the
Elyria bank set aside, on the ground
that it is a preference and that all
creditors should share alike.

CEN. KEIFER OPPOSES
DISFRANCHISEMENT

CommDus, o., Dec. 5. ~ General J.
Warren Keifer, former speaker Of the
national house of representatives. who
has been again elected to congress
from the seventh Ohio district, has is
sued a statement, in which he an
nounces that his mission is to secure
legislation to prevent the dlsfranchise-
ment Of voters in the south. General
Keifer has made an exhaustive study
of the subject. and in his statement he
gives an outline Of what he expects
to accomplish. He says:
"All I contend for is equal voting
power in all the states in electing
members OF the house OF representa-
tives and IN electing a president Of
the United States. This equality Of
right should be conceded, and no prin-
ciple of generosity TO the south re
quires any surrender Of a fundamen-
tai principle Of our form OF govern
ment With election laws in substan-
tial accord in all states, and with the
natural tendency to prevent restric-
ton OF the elective franchise, popula-
ton. without regard to race, is fair
rule for determining equal represen-
tation."

"stories" concerning the trip. In
the first Of the series which appeared
in last Mondays Journal he says:
"At New Haven the Rhode Island
car was detached from the Wash
ington train and became part of a
special arranged by President Mellen
OF the Consolidated. Men about the
station said that this was the finest
train which ever pulled out OF New
Haven, and really, it wasn't bad.
There were two cars for the Con-
necticut delegates, one for Rhode
Island, a special car for Mr.. Mellen,
himself Nutmeg delegate, and
diners and baggage car arrange
ments. In all, it made brave dis
play. Outside of anything else, for
be il understood that Rhode Island
paid its own bills, the home crowd
was well pleased, because this spec
ial had the right Of way and got in
on time. Otherwise, the delegation
would at this hour, say midnight,
have been struggling along the road,
tired and hungry, and yes, thirsty

way in which the writer informs
