ment That $6OO,OOO Note Be8rB 1 Andrew Carnegte's Name.', NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-..Mr. Carne- gie has read this report and has pro- nounced it absurd. MT. Carnegie does not know the woman at all.a
 This statement was made at Andrew Carnegie's residence in this city by his secretary and has to do with the: re- port that the fnancier's name was on the note for $5OO,OOO given by Mrs. Leroy s. Chadwick of Cleveland as col lateral for a loan of ,$1O2, 900 from the Citizens National bank of Oberlin, O., which has closed it's doors.
 This report seems to have arisen rom statement made by George By all. the local attorney for Herbert D. Newton of Brookhne, Mass, who has begun suit ii Cleveland against Mrs. Chadwick for loans aggregating $780, 300. Mr. Ryall, who is member of the law firm of Baggott & RyaM, said:
 There was conference at my of Bee at which were present Mir. New ton. MT. Carver of Boston, Judge John Albaugh of Canton, of counsel for Mrs Chadwick, and myself. On behalf of Mrs. Chadwick, Judge Albaugh re- auested that the receivership proceed .ngs be put off until Friday, at which time he will have her affairs in some kind of shape. This was agrEed to.
 MT. Newton said that he had seen note for $500, GOO which was given 5y Mrs. Chadwick as collateral for a loan from the Citizens National bank sf Oberlin, O.. My client told me that this note carried the signature. An drew Carnegie This will have to come out sooner or later, so I tell it BOW.
 Whether the signature is genuine or not is, however, another question. I understand that Mr. Carnegie declares It Is not his signature"
 Herbert D. Newton of Brookiine, Mass, the plaintiff in the suit against Mrs. Cassie L.. Chadwick, refused last night to discuss the case in any phase, put referred inquirerA to his counsel, Percy W. Carver.
 At his home in Newton MT. Carver said that important. developments in the case of Mrs. Chadwick were ex- pected within few days. Referring particularly to the note for $500, 900, said to have been signed with the name of Andrew Carnegie, MT. Carver said: which has been filed in the suit against Mrs. Chadwick MT. Newton alleges that as an inducement for him to, loan Mrs. Chadwick $190,8O0 Mrs. Chad wick showed him a note for S500,0OO, which was signed by man whom, Mr. Newton believed. to be fully responsi- ole as one who could stand behind such a loan as was requested. pre- fer not to state what name was signed ko This note, Dat you can say that we ao not contradict the statement that shelnote bore the signature of Andrew Carnegie"
 MT. Carver stated, in conclusion, that Mr. Carnegie's ,repudiation of the note for $6OO.OO0 was not at all unexpected. * L. T. Whitney, director of the Citi- sens' National bank of Oberlin, O., which institution closed it's doors On account of the large amount of paper which it holds against Mrs. Cassie L.. Chadwick, said that the bank had oAned Mrs. Chadwick $24O, GOO, which $ four times the banks capital stock. MT. Beckwith had personally loaned her $102, 2,O00 more.
 Mrs. Chadwick is already being sued oy various banks and individuals for over a quarter of million dollars, and yesterday in the common pleas court of Cleveland Iras Reynolds, secretary and treasurer of the Wade Park bank Df that city, was to have brought in- to court all certificates and securities sf Mrs. Chadwick now in his posses aion.
