Elyria, o., Dec. 7.-Prosecuting At
torney Lee Stroup. Of Lorain county.
made formal request yesterday on
Common Pleas Judge Washburn for a
special grand jury to investigate the
Chadwick case. The request was
granted at once and the Jury will meet
Thursday.
New York, Dec. THE expected
did not happen last night, and all pre-
dictions proved at fault when at a late
hour 1t was announced that no confer
ence between federal officers and An
drew Carnegie had been held at the
latter's homo.
This turn was surprising, for Mr..
Carnegie had announced in the course
OF the day that he would be glad to re-
ceive a federal oflcer and IL was sum-
posed that #. F. Oldham, representing
the comptroller Of the currency, would
meet him and that the matter of the
notes alleged to have been given Iri
Reynolds. Of Cleveland, and said to
bear the name of Andrew Carnegie
wsuld be discussed.
AZ unexpected as the news that no
conference was held was the depar-
ture Of Mrs. Chadwick from the Hol-
land house. where she has resided. for
the New Amsterdam hotel. She was
accompanied by her son and a maid
and took with her some baggage.
Secret service men who have been at
the Holland for several days followed
Mrs. Chadwick.
Andrew Squire. a Cleveland at
torney representing Iri Reynolds,
made the announcement last night af-
ter several conferences with Receiver
Lyon, Mr.. Oldham and others that he
believed there would be no further de-
velopments In the case before We'd
nesday and also said that Mr.. Oldham
had returned to Washington. This an
nouncement was the first indication
that there would not be a meeting at
Mr.. Carnegie's home last night.
Lawyer Carpenter, one of Mrs.
Chadwick's counsel in New York, de-
clined to give the results of the
numerous conferences Tuesday; Percy
w. Carver, counsel for Herbert d.
Newton, in an interview said that the
Newton claim had not been paid and
that no new assurances had been
given as to its payment, and George
w. Ryall, associated with Mr.. Carver,
gave no new information beside con-
firming the story that he had been in
conference with Mrs. Chadwick. As
to the subject Of their talk he declined
to make any statement.
The representatives Of the various
interests appeared hopeful Of q settle
ment last night, though no one would
give any inkling Of how this would be
accomplished.
Mrs. Chadwick changed her hotel
against the orders Of her physician,
DR.. A. A. Moore, who visited her at
least twice yesterday. After his even-
ing call the physician said Mrs. Chad
wick was in q serious condition and
that he believed her on the verge Of
nervous prostration. He feared that II
the excitement attending the case con-
tinued much longer Mrs. Chadwick
would break down entirely.
The secret service men have taken
rooms near Mrs. Chadwick at the New
Amsterdam.
that their mission was connected with
the Chadwick case. but their actions
last night served to confirm previous
reports that the secret service had Of
hcially taken cognizance Of the case.
A gentleman intimately connected
with the Chadwick case was asked
last night why Mr.. Reynolds had como
to New York with Mrs. Chadwick's se-
curities and he stated that II was for
the purpose Of raising money. 10 that
q settlement might be effected without
further legal complications.
Lawyer Carpenter denies the report
attributed to him that he will issue q
statement which will give his views Of
the case.
Washington, Dec. 7.-Frederick r.
Oldham, representing the ONCE Of the
comptroller Of the currency in the
Chadwick case. returned to Washing
ton last night from New York, where
he spent the day In connection with
the case. Mr.. Oldham will make q re-
port to Comptroller Ridgeley to-day.
He denied reports that he might ask
for a federal warrant here and said
that 80 far as he knew no such pro-
