HERATTORNEY
Gives Out Such a
Statement.
Andrew Carnegie Never Had
Any Connection With
Her Affairs.

New York. Dec. 1.-"Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick will settle the claim against
her by Herbert B. Newton, Of Brook
line. Mass. for $4,000 upon q cash
basis and in full"
This statement was made wednes-
day by George Ryall, Of the firm of
Baggott & Ryall, counsel in New York
for Mr.. Newton.
Holland house." Mr.. Ryall said, "and
as q result of my talk with her I am
able to say that the case will be set
tied In few days satisfactorily to my
client The settlement will be upon .
cash basis and our claim will be paid
In full.
Mrs. Chadwick has many powerful
friends both in this city and in Cleve-
land who are interested In her case,
and our case will be settled out Of
court amicably. OF course, I am in
terested only in the settlement of Mr..
Newton's claims and I know nothing
about any other claims against her.
The hearing against her set down for
trial In Cleveland for Thursday will be
adjourned by request, pending the ar
rangements now progressing here for
settlement I expect within the next
"a hours to have the terms Of the set
tlsment arranged so as to make Q
definite statement on the matter.
Mrs. Chadwick Is indignant at the
published stories connecting her with
another woman" continued Mr. Ryall,
"and when the case has been settled
she Is very liable to bring suit against
some people. She also denies the
stories to the effect that several
banks are involved In her case"
Philip Carpenter. one Of Mrs. Chad
wick's attorneys, gave out the follow
ing statement:
Mrs. Chadwick states that Mr..
Carnegie has never had any connec-
ton with her affairs. The statements
that have appeared in the press to the
contrary are untrue. She is too i'll to
make any general statement at thii
time"
Edward w. Powers. of counsel fol
Mrs. Chadwick. said that many Of the
claims against Mrs Chadwick will
never be recognized In legal court
Just how many claims there are
do not know" said Mr.. Powers.
VIII the claims aggregate $1,OOO,
000." was asked.
Mr.. Powers paused before replying
| and then said:
We'll. approximately you can put 4
at that sum. For all know there may
be claims for s20. .000. 900 against her
but all legal claims will be met, as she
10 an honest woman"
| Has she enough money to meet the
claims of s1,000.000?"
"Yes. more than enough" was the
reply.
| How about the intimation tha
some people are trying to blackmai
Mrs. Chadwick" was asked
"As far as / know there is nothing
in the blackmailing line, but there ar,
some people who are presenting
| claims against Mrs. Chadwick whit
have no legal right to do So"

place in she city where ladies from
adjacent towns and the country who
come here to shop may rest after COM
pleting their shopping or where wo-
men who come to the city to await the
task Of the transaction Of business
by their husbands may rest while the
husband il engaged. and also q place
where lady clerks OF the city may stay
at leisure hours If they feel so inclined.
Such a place would prove especially
popular with lady visitors having
children to care for. II the project
proves 90 the merchants Of the city
will doubtless be called upon to con-
tribute toward fund to be expended
