against Cashier Spear are the same rs

In Jail at Cleveland.
Cleveland, O., Dec. 15.-M.s. Cassie
L. Chadwick came home to Cleveland
Wednesday afternoon. She was greet
ed with jeers, boots and Kisses by the
crowds that gathered in the depot
when her train arrived, and howled at
by hundreds gathered in from: Of the
federal building. The last sound that
reached her from the outside world,
as she passed into the stuf1y, ILL
smelling office of Sheriff Barry, in the
county Jail, was the boot Of oerision
from the people massed in front Of the
doorway. She made no attempt to
give bail and, after brief stop in the
office of the clerk of the United States
court, was taken to Jail. Her courage
held to the last; but her body failed
here, and when she mounted the three
flights of stairs leading to the tier OF
cells where she is to remain she COL
lapsed utterly and fell in dead faint.
She was soon revived, and conferred
with her counsel about her defense.
There is small chance that she will be
able to leave the Jail before her trial.
There are row seven indictments
against her, five additional charges
having been laid against her in the
federal court Wednesday afternoon.
It would require surety to the amount
of at least $10O,000 to give her free
dom, and there is nobody in Cleveland
who will furnish that amount for her.
She has herself no idea of giving bail
and will remain in Jail.
Has Talk with Beckwtth. 4
Cleveland, O., Dec. 1G.-President
Beckwith, of the Oberlin bank. who has
come to such great trouble through his
financial transactions with her, asked
Tor and received permission to talk with
Mrs. Chadwick in the county jail on
Thursday. The meeting was dramatic.
After some general conversation Mr..
Beckwith referred to their business re-
g.
have ruined me, but I'm not SO sure yet
sou are fraud. have stood by you 10
my last dollar, and l do think now that
the time has come for you to make
known everything in relation to this
thing" Mrs. Chadwick did not reply
directly to the words Of Mr.. Beckwith.
but her manner and the look on her face
were not conciliatory. Seeing that she
would not answer, Mr.. Beckwith soon
took his departure.
Plead Not Guilty.
Cleveland, O., Dec. 19.-Mrs. Cassie L..
Chadwick, President Beckwith and
Cashier Spear, Of the Citizens national
bank, of Oberlin, O., were arraiened in
the United States district court before
Judge Wing Saturday afternoon. All
Of them pleaded not guilty to the charges
brought against them. United States
District Attorney Sullivan asked that
bail be fixed in each case, and J. p. Daw-
ley, attorney for Mrs. Chadwick. de-
clared that his client had no desire to
offer bail, and would remain in custody
for the present, at least. Beckwith and
Spear were ordered by Judge Wing to in
crease their bonds to $25, 900, they hav-
ing been held previously under bonds of
$4,000. They furnished the bond and
were allowed to depart, Mrs. Chadwick
returning to the Jail.

MES and the wrecking company ended
in disagreement, with the result that
for the present, at least the matter is
in allegiance.
Secretary Cortelyou, of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, will per-
sonally undertake the investigation
into the disaster on behalf of the gov
ernment; District Attorney Jerome's
assistants are working energetically
on the case and officials of the coro-
ner's office have made considerable
progress in the way of gathering evi-
dence which will be presented.
Statements were made to the coro-
ner yesterday by several of the
steamboat employees who will appear
as witnesses at the inquest, that the
captain of the Slocum sailed his boat
distance of between three and four
miles after the fire broke out before
Bleaching her. Several watches show
ed that more than half an hour had
elapsed from the breaking out of the
fire until the bow was run ashore, all
the watches which were taken from
the bodies of the drowned stopping
between 1910 and 1920 in the morn
ing.
There is in the coroner's possession
stand pipe taken at his direction by
diver from the submerged wreck.
The valve of the pipe is closed tight,
showing that no use was made of this
pipe in fighting the flames on the Slo-
cum.
Already $50 bodies have been re-
covered, of which about so remain
unidentified. Thirteen officers of St.
Marks church are among the dead,
one of them being woman.
The first funeral from among the
victims was held Friday. 1t was that
of young girl who is believed to have
died of heart disease from fright. No
signs of death from burning or drown
ing were found. Her funeral was fol-
lowed by a score of others, which
were attended by thousands of per-
sons.
To-day there will be 500 or more
funerals, and 32 unrecog.. liable bodies
which are now lying in the morgue
| will be placed each in a separate
| coffin and in a separate hearse and
laid away in the Lutheran cemetery
at Middle Village, l.. |. The city has
arranged for their burial, a plot large
enough for the interment of $50 bodies
having been set aside in this ceme-
terry. All the unknown dead will be
| placed here side by side.
Many thousands of dollars have
! been subscribed to the relief fund.

Panic on a Street Car.

New York, June 18.-In a panic
among passengers in trolley car of
the Fulton street line last night nine
persons received injuries. The panic
was caused by the blowing out of a
fuse while the car was running at a
high rate of speed. The front plat
form and forward part of the car
were at once enyeloped in flames and
the passengers made frantic efforts to
escape. Many jumped, others were
pushed off the car and others fell and
were trampled on before the car
could be stopped. Nearly every PTS
senger suffered some injury.

Steamer Gen. SIOCum Burned
to the Waters Edge.
The llI-Fated Boat Was Crowded with
Women and Children Who Were
Going on an Excursion Given
by a German lu-
theran Church

New York, June 16.-One of the
most appalling disasters in the his
tory of New York. tragic in its i'm
mensity, graphic in it's episodes and
deeply pathetic in the tender age of
most of its victims, took place Wed
nesday in the East river, at the en-
trance to Long Island Sound, within a
short distance of the New York shore
and within sight of thousands of per-
sons.
BY the burning TO the waters edge
of the General Slocum, three -decked
excursion steamer, the largest in
these waters, more than 600 persons,
the majority of whom were women
and children, were burned to death or
drowned, by jumping overheard or by
being thrown into whirlpools by the
1urching of the vessel and the frantic
rush of the panic stricken passengers.
Great preparations had been made
for the annual excursion of the Sun
day-school of st. Marks German Lu-
theran church, the congregation of
which is drawn from the dense popu-
iatiOn of the lower East and West
sides, and the General Slocum had
been chartered to carry the excursion
lists to Locust Grove, one of the many
resorts on Long Island Sound. 1t is
varously estimated that there were
between 1,500 and 100 persons on
board the Slocum when she left the
pier at Third street. East river.

DOWN TO BUSINESS.
Republican National Committee De-
cides Two Contests.

Chicago, June 17.-After deciding
several state contests on delegates at
large to the republican national con-
vention and number of disputes. the
republican national committee last
night adjourned until to-day, leaving
the biggest fight, that of the factions
in Wisconsin. still unsettled.
While there was much interest
taken in the settlement by the COM
mittee of the contests In Delaware
and Louisiana, the quarrel in Wiscon-
sin is regarded as the most serious
in the party and the outcome is anxi-
ously awaited by republicans and
democrats alike. In the Delaware
contest the committee decided unani-
mously to seat the delegation which
is headed by j. e. Addicks. 1t was de-
cided also to seat the colored dele
gates at large from Louisiana, who
are opposed to the lilly white" repub-
licans of that state.
The committee decided to give the
Philippine islands representation in
the convention. Two delegates with
the right to vote will be seated, thus
putting the Philippines on a par with
Porto Rico, which will have two rep
resentatives.
Contests were taken up in alpha
betical order of states, the first dis
pute over delegates being that in tho
Fourth Alabama congressional dis
trict. w. F. Aldrich and w. A. Cook
were seated, the lilly white" delegates
being thrown out.
j. S. Fassett and A. e. Valois, of the
Thirty third New York district, were
seated. Fassett presented a statement
on behalf of himself and colleague.
Chicago, June 1S.-By unanimous
vote the republican national commit
tee late Friday afternoon decided to
seat the delegates at large from Wis
consin who are members of the So
called ''stalwart" faction, headed by
United States Senators John C.
Spooner and Joseph V. Quarles and
opposed to the republicans led by
Gov. La Toilette.
w. c. Russell and o. E. Harrison,
delegates from the Fourth Ohio dis
trict, where there was a contest, were
seated. There was contest in the
Sixth Ohio district, but the necessary
papers giving such notice were not
filed and the committee ruled the
matter out.
In the Twentieth Ohio district ]. B.
Ierbe, the regular delegate, was con-
tested by f. II. Eggers on question
of jurisdiction between the chairman
of the convention and the convention
itself The committee held that the
election of Mr.. Zerbe was regular.
that the convention was sovereign and
accordingly dismissed the appeal of
Mr.. Eggers.
The seats of the four delegates at
large from Texas We're contested. The
committee decided in favor of the
Lyon faction.
The committee affirmed the report
of the subcommittee on the selection
of temporary officers for the conven-
tion. These will be Charles B. John
son, of Minneapolis, secretary; John
p Molloy, of Ohio. first assistant sec
retary; Elihu Root, temporary chair
man; William e. Stone, sergeant-at-
arms; David G. Owen, Milwaukee,
first assistant sergeant-a alarms.

ULTRA CONSERVATISM.
Industry and Trade Is Suffering from
an Epidemic Thereof.


New York, June 1S.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s Review of Trade says:
Industry suffers from an epidemic
of ultra conservatism, emanating ap-
parently from the theory that a sea-
son of depression must come every
ten years, while the coincidence of
presidential election furnishes an
other precedent. AS a result stocks
of merchandise have been reduced,
railway traffic is lessened, prepara-
tions for future business are curtailed,
and less money is distributed in the
form of wages; while those having
capital to invest confine their atten-
tion to the highest classes of bonds or
hold back for still lower security
prices.
All these factors have combined to
produce a reaction entirely out of pro-
portion to the natural readjustment
that was really started by abnormally
high prices of raw materials and
other costs of production resulting
in accumulation of goods that could
not be sold at a profit. Retrench-
ment has made considerable progress,
wage earners as rule recognizing
the Importance of accepting reduc-
tions in pay The lake strike has been
adjusted, leaving little friction be-
tween employer and employe.
AS the season advances the crop
outlook improves and there is no
fundamental weakness in the nation 8
commercial or financial position. Evil
dences of contraction in business are
numerous, however.
Failures this week numbered 257 in
the United States, against 213 last
year, and 16 in Canada, compared with
"a a year ago.

greater part women and children
| mothers who weeks ago had planned
that fatal outing for their children;
little ones who had longed for the
coming of the happy day Up to dusk
400 bodies had passed through the

were identified.
Up the Sound where the hulk of the
General Slocum lies submerged, show

craft aided the tugs in graphing for
the victims. Divers went down time
and time again, and when their work
ended for the day declared there were
no more bodies in the wreck. A score
of times a diver reappeared after his
plunge, with the body of a woman or
child. Two of them coming to the
surface together on one occasion had
on their arms two little girls-sisters
-clasped in each others embrace and
their mother, it was thought, whose
dead hand tightly clenched the skirt
of one of them.
New York. June 1S.-Despite the
untiring work of the divers and Crap
piers and the watchfulness of scores
of men who have given themselves
over 20 the task of searching for the

who perished in the Slocum disaster
were recovered Friday 1t was stated
by divers who went down into the
wreck at dawn that there are many
bodies still under the timbers and
paddle wheels, and that it would be
necessary to dynamite the hulk or
raise it before they could be reached.
To this end city officials communicat-
ed with wrecking company and an
announcement was made that the
company would undertake the work
of bringing the wreck to the surface.

DeIuae Caused 100 Deaths.

Santiago De Cuba, June 1S.-The
recent fall of IA inches of rain in five
hours, accompanying hurricane, has
resulted in the death of more than 100
persons. The most severe loss was
at the village of Ell Cobre, where
about 60 persons were drowned. The
river rose instantly destroying the
lower part of the village. Bodies were
carried eight miles. to the bay. Thirty
bodies were recovered. Six persons
were drowned at Daiquari, ii at Ell
Caney and many in the surrounding
country. The list is still incomplete.

At the eastern end of Randall's ISL
and, off One Hundred and Thirty fifth
street, there is a stretch of water
known as the "Sunken Meadows" At
this point the General Slocum took
fire and the vessel was soon a mass
Of flame.
The fire is said to have broken out
in lunch room on the forward deck
through the overturning of a pot of
grease. The wind was high and all
efforts to subdue the fire futile.
Capt. Van Schaick steered for
North Brother island, one of twin isl
ands near the entrance to the sound
some half mile away, where the boat
partially burned, was beached. She
sank near this place two hours AMI %
minutes after the fire was discovered.
In the meantime the passengers had
become panic-stricken and those who
were not caught up by the flames
rushed to the rear of the vessel, and
hundreds jumped overheard into the
swiftly running waters. 1t is alleged
that the life preservers were too Sc
ecurely fastened to their holdings to be
available and stories are told of
frantic efforts made by strong men to
cut them loose.
The race to North Brother island
was horribly dramatic 1t was made
while the flames which had been
famed into fury by the strong wind
were consuming hundreds of persons.
The scene was one of frightful panic
with men, women and children Jump
ing overheard and being lashed by
the channel whirlpools against the
vessels sides. Women and children
were crowded together on the hurri
cane deck, which soon burned away
and fell, and it is believed that most
of those on this deck were burned.
The after rail gave way and the
passengers who had crowded about it
were pushed into the water.
New York, June 17.-With unceas
ing effort, search is going on for the
bodies of those who perished on the
General Slocum. What the list of the
victims will total scarce one dare
guess, but whatever the number may
be there is hardly parallel in the
history of disasters where death came
TO so many in so brief a period of
time.
The police and health department
officials have placed the number at a
figure as high as 200 and more, but
it would seem that the maximum ia
tality will not largely exceed 700
