The three men who have been re-

American and Continental companies

been a free and open competition In the
trade, and jobbers and dealers handled

A NIGHT IN THE TOAIBs.
Mrs. Chadwick Taken to Prison In De-
fault Of Bail.

New York, Dec. 9.-In one of the
scantily furnished cells In the Tombs,
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, the woman
whose financial operations extend into
the millions, spent last night.
The party passed through a double
bail, her attorneys gave up the fight
and Philip Carpenter, her chief coun-
sci, stood in the corridor of the fed
eral building at o'clock when the
United States marshal, Mr.. Henkel,
threw open the double doors of his
office and led the woman out on her
way to prison.
Mrs. Chadwick was wan, tired and
almost fainting. She made her way
across the hall to the elevator, leaning
on the marshaIs arm and that of her
son Emil Behind them came her
nurse, Freda Swenson, and the deputy
marshal, Mr.. Kennedy.
The party passed through a double
row of curious people to a carriage
which was in waiting on the Broad
way side. They were driven directly
to the Tombs. Arriving there Mrs.
Chadwick was half carried up the
steps into the building. Warden Flynn
met the party, and after the usual
preliminaries had been attended to the
woman asked permission to have her
nurse remain with her. This was de-
MED, the warden saying that she
should have no privileges not allowed
other prisoners.
Mrs. Chadwick gave a handbag and
a few trinkets to the nurse and whis-
pered some instructions to her son.
She was then taken to the matron's
room. She asked to say good night to
her son and the lad eagerly rushed to
his mother and, wrapping his arms
about her, gave her a long embrace.
Then she was led away to the inner
Office, where her ancestral record was
taken and she was assigned to a cell.
The son and nurse entered a carriage
and were driven to a hotel.
While lying on a couch in the
United States marshal's Office awaiting
bondsman, Mrs. Chadwick for the
first time since her name has been be-
fore the public consented to talk for
publication and gave the representa-
ment in which she denied relationship
to Mrs. York of San Francisco, who
gave out an interview telling of the
earlier life of Mrs. Chadwick.
In justice to her son, Mrs. Chad
wick said she would not make a state
ment about this Madam Devere bust
ness at the present time but prom
ised that later Madam Devere's
wnereapouts ana everything else In
connection with this case will be
shown
Mrs. Chadwick also told of the
Wade Park and Oberlin bank mat
tiers. Referring to the failure of the
latter institution, she said: 81 would
not like to live minute if 1 did moi
think would pay these people back
Mrs. Chadwick dined at z o'clock in
Marshal HenkePs Office under condi-
lions in strange contrast to the man
ner in which she lived at New York
hotels.
Her dinner consisted of an orange
a ham sandwich and a piece of cake
brought to her by her son from q
Broadway lunch counter She lay or
a hard leather couch in a room filled
with desks, chairs and file cases. A
deputy marshal stood watch while he]
nurse took the meager lunch from z
paper bag and peeled the orange. Emil

CHILDREN RUN OVER.
One Is Injured Fatally and Another
Slightly by Car.

Kansas City, Dec. 9.-Armour Van
Hee the 4-year-old son of Victor Van
Hee of 744 Oak street, was run over and
fatally injured, and his 5-year-old play
mate, Stella Gross who lives with her
aunt, Miss Lou Gross of 72S Cherry
street, was knocked down and rendered
unconscious, by an Independence ave-
nue. street car at Eighth and Oak
streets at about o'clock yesterday at
ternOon.
A moment before the accident the
children, who had been playing in the
street, ran into the shipping room door
of the Booth Fish and oyster company.
307 East Eighth street. They were told
to get OUT and ran between two
wagons directly in front of the car.
The girl was struck by the corner of
the car and hurled backwards to the
pavement unconscious. The boy ran to
the center of the track when the fender
struck him. throwing him lengthwise
between the rails. The fender passed
over the boy and he was rolled beneath
the trucks and dragged the length of
the car. His left leg and hip were cut
off at the body.
When the car was stopped the boy
was calling loudly for his mother, but
he soon became unconscious. Both of
the children were carried to the boys
home in the Centropolis flats, 744 Oak
street, and medical aid was summoned
1t was found that the girl was not in
jured beyond a few slight bruises on
the head and body, but the boy never
regained consciousness after losing 1t
and died within an hour.

Mrs. Chadwick, it is intimated in

Mrs. Chadwick referred to the pub
Hcation which intimated that the
lawyers who had come here from the
friends.
II think there is nobody am more
friendly with than those lawyers" she
said. Not one of them came here
I don't think the public quite under
stands the situation. Mr.. Newton
brought this lawsuit against me Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday they
had a run on the Wade Park bank.
Of course that frightened the people
because Of the enormous amount of the
lawsuit, $210.0o That was a very large
amount in a little city of only about
100000 inhabitants That amount of
money attracted attention. The deposit
tors Of the Wade Park bank became
alarmed that the bank was going to be
ruined, when in reality L only owed the
bank $4,000, and it was one OF the best
and most conservative banks in CIeve-
land. No. am wrought was Friday the
run commenced on the Wade Park
bank. Then following that, one of Mr..
Newton's notes was in the Oberlin Ma
ttonal bank. Saturday evening the OBJ
erin bank opened to receive deposits
according to its custom from to 8
o'clock The depositors in that bank
read in the penny press the sensational
story that I owed the Oberlin bank.
They rushed into the bank Saturday
night, and instead of making deposits,
was a small country bank and only had
on hand 81, 000 ST. 900 in cash The
other money belonging to the bank was
IN the Cleveland bank and it being Sat-
The depositors drew heavily that
night. Some one came in with a check;

they did not have money enough to pay.
Therefore they had to close the bank
They could not open it again then and
they could not demand the loan against

York The story had gone out that the
bank had failed and it was too late
then for anything to be done. Mr.. Mil

sat by in silence and ate few bites of
a sandwich, and the nurse dried her
tears long enough to taste the lunch
counter fare.
The three unfortunateS had moth
ing to say to each other. Occasionally
Mrs. Chadwick sobbed and the faith
full nurse leaned over her mistress and
smoothed her gray hair. Mrs. Chad
wick's face was much inf1amed, her
eyes were red and her hands trembled
violently as she pushed away the re-
mains of the food and motioned F'reda
to give her a pile of evening papers
which lay on chair near the couch.
Mrs. Chadwick picked the papers up
one by one and between sobs gave the
first page a hasty glance. After she
had run through the lot she selected
one which seemed to interest her espe-
cially and began reading it with great
care. But the strain seemed too great
She burst into tears and the slight boy,
who seemed cool under all the excite
ment, fastened to his mothers side
and quieted her with kisses
Thus the sad trio awaited the an
nouncement of Mrs. Chadwick's coun-
sci that she must go to Jail because
surety for $4,000 could not be had.

STICKS TO HER STORY.
Mrs. York Insists That Mrs Chadwick
Is Her Sister.

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-Mrs. Alice
M. York. of this city, has reiterated
her statement that she is the sister of
Mrs. Chadwick, despite the latter's re-
pudiation of relationship. She says:
MY sister, Elizabeth Bigley, now
Mrs. Chadwick, was born near Lon
don, Canada, about AZ years ago. Her
girlhood days were spent at Eastwood
and Woodstock, which was the home
of the family. She was not a great
reader, and as for having read books
nonsense.
when was married and went to
live in Cleveland, she came to live
with me. That was in 1891
There was nothing peculiar about
her a girl, save that she was deep
thinker; she always seemed absorbed
in thought, and would sit in silence by
the hour; she seemed in a trance and
never would pay attention to anyone.
She would come out of these thinking
spells as if beWildered. She would
never discuss her strange actions nor
the many scrapes into which she got
"She never, by word or act, indi-
Gated that she was possessed of any
hypnotic power. At the time in To-
Iedo when she was convicted of forg-
cry under the name of Madame De-
named Joseph Lamb, an express
agent, who was arrested with her.
The papers were full of it at the time,
and all the talk was hypnotism. The
hypn otism talk was nonsense.
1T seems to me that my sister had
a mania for doing just such things as
have now involved her in this trouble.
She did not need monev- as she had
plenty of it. In speech she talks
slowly and lisps slightly. She is quite
deaf. She was always extravagant.
After that affair in Toledo, when she
was released from prison she came to
live with me at my home on Franklin
avenue. She was then the widow of
c. L. Hoover, who left her consider
able money.
ct am sorry that she has been I'M
able to secure bonds, and hope that
she will get out of this trouble"
Mrs. York added that she would
not go east unless subpoenaed.
