VICTIMIZED MRS. LOUISA BAL
LEY TO EXTENT OF $3.50.
BORROWS The SUM OF HER
On the Promise to Secure Her Son
John a Good Job,

Yesterday morning the police lear
ned of clever confidence game that
was worked last Thursday on Mrs.
Louisa A. Bailey, 1926 Ridge street,
West Richmond, by some unknown
icon" man. The police yesterday
afternoon got clue to the fellows
whereabouts and it is expected that
he will be in the tolls shortly.
Thursday morning the gold brick
specialist heard that Mrs. Bailey's
son, John Bailey, was out of a job
and that his mother was extremely
anxious for him to secure work. The
stranger called On Mrs. Bailey and
told her that he was in charge of the
local Pennsylvania shops and would
give her son a position at $3.50 per
week. He added he would be oblig-
ed to discharge another boy to make
place for young Bailey but he was
perfectly willing to do so.
He then asked Mrs. Bailey if she
had $3.50 in change to lend him to
pay off the boy who was to be dis
charged. He added that he had a
$40 bill in his pocket and if she
would make the loan he would take
her son to a nearby grocery, have the
bill chagned and send the boy back
with the amount loaned. Mrs. Bal
ley anxious to secure work for her
son, readily produced the $3.50, then
the unknown with John Bailey left
the house and boarded a street car.
At some point on East Main street
the man and the boy got off the car
and, telling the young fellow to wait

Over Securing Enough Men to Act
as Jurors-Over Hundred Men
Have Been Disqualified.

nlslng gun, december 1I.-Aga1n
the weary .grind of endeavoring to
secure jury to try James Gillespie
on charge of having assassinated
his sister, Elizabeth, year ago, be-
gan Saturday morning. 1t is ap-
parently aebopeless task and the at
torneys for the State and prisoner
are of the opinion that it will be i'm
possible to secure twelve men to try
the case.
In Ohio county there are not over
400 men who are eligible to sit as
jurors. OF these 112 have already
been in court and have been found
to be disqualified on account Of the
opinions they have formed of the
merits Of the case from the former
trial or from reading the newspa-
pers. Another hundred men were
summoned Friday night and they ap-
peared in court Saturday morning.
If these men are of the same opin-
ion as those who were examined Sat-
urday the court will be in dilemma.
So far as is known no precedent for
such a case has been established.
The jurors must be selected from the
county in which the case is being
tried. If it IL impossible to secure
an unbiased 6&fy James Gillespie
may be compelled to stay in Jail
many weary years as the case is call
ed from term to term and another
effort made to secure jury.
If the defendant would take a
change of venue the perplexing ques-
tion would be solved. He will not
do that, however, and the State can
not do so.
1t has been learned that the rea-
son of the withdrawal of the trials
of the others from that of Jim Gil
lespie was because the bondsmen of
Myron L. Barbour told him that un-
less he refused to have his case con-
sidered apart from that of Jim Gil
lespie they would 60 into court and
ask that the bond be cancelled. In
spite of this the others stick Loyalty
by Gillespie, and, although not re-
quired to be present in court, are
constantly there and evince the deep
est interest in the fate Of their rel
ative.
Only three men thus far examined
have testified that they had not
formed Or expressed an opinion.
Judge Cornet Saturday ruled that
any one who had read the reports of
the former trial in the newspapers,
or had listened to the witnesses in
the court room, and had formed an
opinion therefrom was disqualified,
unless able to swear that he would
lay aside that opinion and render a
fair and impartial verdict. This
still further complicated the situa-
ton, as nine-tenths of the citizens of
the county heard some part Of the
evidence Or read the newspaper ac-
counts of the proceedings. If a jury
is finally impaneled the rule of the
court and the usual practice must be
relaxed.

CRASH IN
WALL STREET
CAME WHEN LEAST EXPECTED

AMALGAMATED COPPER
q .5.
The Crisis Over, But Vigorous While,
IL 'Lasted-Henry Clews 4 Co. "A
-
pssHe Make Report.

The banking house of Henry Clews
& Co., of New York, makes the fol
lowing report of Wall street condi-
tions for the past week:
New York, December 10.--Like "a
bolt from the blue' the crash in
Wall street came when least expect
ed and when all seemed serene. The
truth is, the market was ripe for a
break For weeks and months
stocks continued to rise without in
terruption until speculation, over
stimulated by increasingly favorable
outside conditions, carried the mar
ket up to the point of collapse. Sen
timent everywhere was so overwhel-
mingly bullish that weak spots were
ignored and situation created
where only shock of some sort was
needed to force wholesale liquida-
tion. This shock came in the form of
an attack upon Amalgamated Cop
per, which promtly exposed the
weakened condition of the whole
market. Stocks, it was then seen,
had passed from strong into weak
hands. The big men who bought free
ly at the low prices Of 1908 had dis
posed very largely of their holdings,
and when the crash came there was
little or no support from this quar-
ter. Liquidation Of over-bought ac-
counts became imperative, and prices
were so high that no substantial buy
ers could be found except at such
heavy declines as exhausted weak
margins and frightened timid hold
ers out of their sense. The decline
was, Of course, accompanied by the
usual supply of unsettling rumors
and intensified by the trading ele-
ment, who always push movement
in either direction to the utmost.
One thing is clear; the final atmos-
phere has been much clarified by this
unwelcome squall. Values are now
on more substantial basis, and
weak spots have been pretty thor
oughly eliminated. A period Of ir-
regularity may follow such shock,
but speculation is likely to be car
lried on within safer and narrower
limits, and the so-called "boom'
has received timely and much need
ed check. Conservative bankers had
for some time been apprehensive of
gxcesses, and caution has been re-,
peatedly urged in these advices, so
the break caused no surprise to our
readers.
AS for the future, that depends
largely upon developments. At this
writing the crisis appears to be
about over The trouble has been

FACEvAlUE Of s13, ESQ, 900
Special Grand Jury Summoned IN
Cleveland to Consider Dealings
of Woman.

Cleveland, O., December 1.-THE
last vestige of the Chadwick bubble
and its mythical millions was resolv.
ed into air today. Attorney A. A.
Stearns, representing Herbert d.
Newton, of Boston, made an authori-
tative statement that the securities
found in the mysterious package left
with Irl Reynolds by Mrs. Chad
wick included paper of the face val
lie of $12,5OO,O00 bearing the sigma
ture "Andrew Carnegie" which is
regarded as worthless. This is the
key to the situation, for on the Sc
curities supposed to be in this sealed
package loans of an unknown
amount-certainly more than $1,-
O0O, ,000-were negotiated.
The details of Mr.. Searns' state
ment to the securities are as follows:
Package No. / contained a note
made payable to Cassie l.. Chadwick
dated May 20, 1902, for $1,000, 900,
and payable in fifteen months. It
was. signed with the name of An
drew Carnegie.
In package No. l was also a trust
agreement, dated February 81, 1901,
and signed Andrew Carnegie, purpot-
ing to be receipt for securities de-
livered to Andrew Carnegie by
Frederick r. Mason, deceased, uncle
of Cassie. L. Chadwick, the value Of
the securities being placed at ST.
100000, and to be productive of in
come. These securities purported to
be bonds of the United States Steel
Corporation, the Caledinian Railway
of Scotland and the Great Western
Railway of England.
Package No. 2 contained dupli-
cate copy of the trust agreement.
Package No. 3 contained a promis-
sorry note for ST 500, signed by Emily
and Daniel Pine and made payable
to Cassie L. Chadwick, and a mort
gage securing the same.
Total Now S13,750,000.
With this revelation it is found
that the signature of Andrew Carne-
gle has apparently been forged on
notes and other papers to the total
amount of $13,750,O00. The secur-
tiles held by Reynolds, together with
those that were held by the Citizens
National Bank of Oberlin, and have
already been made public, aggregate
this amount.
The Reynolds securities have been
for the last three years the principal
basis on which Mrs. Chadwick has
conducted her financial system. And
these same securities are the rock
which has wrecked the Oberlin bank
and caused the ruin of hundreds Of
families and losses to business men
almost without number. For 1T is
the frankly expressed opinion of rep
utable lawyers who have examined
these papers that they are not worth
one cent.

Manager j.. E. Bowling, of Dow

house up and abandon the season.

But il there is one thing necessary to
the success OF the Republican ticket, II
is that the Democratic candidate shall
deserve and get the loyal support OF
Tammany Hall.
Viewing the situation broadly, never
in the history of campaigns between Re
publicans and Democrats were the dis.
tinguishing characteristics OF the two
parties 50 strongly emphasized as in
this one. The Republicans face the
problems of the day without fiinching
from either the opportunities or the re-
sponsibilities Of action. They have the
necessary convictions, courage and re-
sources TO remove mountains.
On the other hand. the Democrats ex.
hibit all their old failings OF irresolu
ton, theoretical vagaries. lack of set
tied convictions and conflicting councils
that render them unfit TO be entrusted
with the control OF the government.
At this stage of the campaign there
seems not the slightest reason to doubt
that the popular drift is with the party
that marches forward rather than that
which stands still or marks time in the
footprints the other has left In the path
way Of national progress. The best
proof of this is in the fact that the
American people are going about their
daily business without any perplexine
doubts as to what will happen in No
vember.

ILLEGAL CORPORATIONS.
President's Action in Enforcing Lave
Against Them.


Northwestern Christian Advocate, Sept 20.)
In holding large corporations to strict
accountability to the law the President
is serving the best interests OF those
corporations as well as conserving the
welfare of the country All corporations
which are operating on an unlawful basis
should be compelled to conform to the
law. Ii they cannot or will not they
should go out OF business. This, some
have been forced by the lawless conduct
Of their promoters and operators to do,
to the great loss of their stockholders.
Many formerly wealthy men are now
broken in fortune because corporations
with which they were connected were
formed and operated in violation Of law.
The action OF the President in enforc-
ing the law would prevent, not promote,
such losses.
One OF the crying needs OF America
to-day IL such respect for the laws OF
the nation as the President has shown.
He did not make the laws, but 1t Ii his
duty to obey them. He has set an ex-
ample which every citizen should follow.
Ii that be done, we shall hear no more
OF mobs breaking into jails, defying pc.
lice and militia, and hanging or burning
prisoners suspected or convicted OF
crime, and burning property In a wild
frenzy of disorder and lawlessness

The best OF all markets for American
manufacturers and farmers Is the home

United States aggregates each year more

than the International commerce of al
the world. This vast market Is at our
doors. 1t is among our own people. Why
should we surrender It to foreigners. as
