]. F F. FRIEND
May HAVE
MADE LOAN

Pittsburg. Pa. Dec. 1S-Like a clap OF
thunder from a clear sky there came this
afternoon the story that James f. Friend,
president OF the Pressed Steel company,
and one OF the leading millionaires OF the
city. is the hitherto mythical Pittsburg
person who had loaned Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick OF Cleveland $4,000 perhaps
$500 600
Mr.. Friend. In so many words. con-
firmed the. rumor that he had floated the
loan. but after a long consultation with
his business associates made the an
nouncement that he did not think Il best
to go into details now.
His word sent to the newspaper Nen.
who had come back TO his office on ap-
pointment to get his statement at .
o'clock this afternoon, was as follows:
'Mr Friend appreciates the fact that
any connection which anyone may have
with the Chadwick case will be eventu-
ally brought out. but he does not wish 90
make any statement premsturely. and
will wait until the time is ripe before he
gives any interview on the subject
This was after Mr. Friend had been
confronted with evidence from Cleveland
that he was the man who had made
the big loans locally TO Mrs Chadwick.
The newspaper men first waited on Mr..
Siebert the man who has charge OF MIR.
Friends business. Mr.. Siebert called on
Mr.. Friend and after a conversation with
him gave out the following statement:
..Mr-Friend- appreciates the fact that
the newspapers have come direct 10
see you between l and o'clock, when
be will give out a statement on the Chad
wick case. There has been much needless
gossip on the case. and he desires 10 be
right"
But when the newspaper men returned
to get the statement on the Chadwick af-
fair as Invited by Mr.. Friend. they found
that there was nothing TO be given out as
yet
Just what is meant by the announce
ment that the case is not yet ripe here
who know Mr.. Friend are OF the opinion
that there are others OF great means
tangled I'm the deal also. who must be
consulted before anything in the shape OF
further interview is made public.
James #. Friend Is connected largely
with the Allegheny German National
bank being one OF the heaviest stock
holders and leading directors. As 10
whether the bank with which Mr.. Friend
is connected officially handled the loan
which he IL now said to have given Mrs.
Chadwick IL not yet known.
Late last night there was a rumor that
another millionaire had divided the loan
with Mr. Friend but nothing could he
learned In refusing last night TO give
out detailed statement on the Chad
wick affair Mr.. Friend went In direct op-
position 70 the advice OF several good
business men who called him UP.
