Want More Immigrants.

An important conference was held to- day at the bureau of immigration. the parties to 1t being Frank P. Sargent. commissioner general of immigration, and a delegation of raiIroaders repre- senting the passenger departments of railways of the south The conference was held for the purpose of discussing the distribution of immigrants. The rail- road men present were A. H. Hanson of the Illinois Central, c. L. Stone of the Louisville and Nashville John M. Beal of St. Louis, " l.. Ganley of Nashville, E. w. H. Tayloe and M. V. Richards of the Southern Railway W. J. Craig of the Atlantic Coast Line, w. l.. Glessner of the Georgia Southern and J. w. White of the Seaboard Air Line.
 Primarily, the railroad men desired to discuss with Commissioner Sargent tho distribution through the south of im- migrants arriving at the port of New Orleans, and If possible to try to arrange l facilities for the handling of a large number of immigrants at that port. MT, Sargent told his callers that such faciii- ties as were necessary would be provided at New Orleans; that consideration al- ready had been given to the problem of increasing facilities there, and that the question was in a fair way to be worked | out satisfactorily
 Commissioner Sargent embraced the op- pertunity to outline to his callers his views regarding the distribution of im- migrants not only through the south. but also through other parts of the United States He proposes if congress will give him the power, to establish at the Ellis island immigrant station lr New York bay. bureau where arriving immigrants may obtain authentic infor- nation regarding the possibilities of em- ployment in all parts of the country. h. formation will be obtainable at the bu- reau concerning not only all sorts of em- ployment which immigrants are likely to want, but also concerning the cost of land in the various states where 1t Is lo- cated and what its products are.
 The plan of Commissioner 3argen1 nec- essarily will have to be under the absolute supervision of the national government. In order to insure perfect impartiality in distribution, and strict honesty In dealing with the immigrants. He inform ed his callers that the government would not sanction any advertising by Ameri- cans in Europe. for immigration to certain sections.
 The flood of immigration. he said. is now heavy enough. the problem being now how to properly distribut the im- migrants who annually are arriving at ports of the United States.

Dr.. Chadwick Talks.

Paris, December 12.-Dr. Leroy S. Chad wick of Cleveland, U., whose wife, Cassie l.. Chadwick, is held a prisoner in New York charged with frauds of a financial nature, has been living here quietly for some time occupying quarters in a hotel in the center of Paris but owing to the notoriety of his wifes affairs has observ- ed the greatest seclusion. Dr. Chadwick was interviewed today and consented to talk about the troubles of his wife, but requested that the name of the hotel at which he is stopping be not disclosed. owing to the modification 1t would oc- casion him.
 Dr. Chadwick is somewhat beyond mid dle age of slender build, and his face is very pale. giving him the appearance of an invalid, which he explains is the re- suit of a recent serious attack of Roman fever. from which he is now slowly recov- ering. He has not the appearance of a person accustomed to afiuent surround ings, He has keen visage, an alert and rather nervous manner. He frequently re- iterated his desire to avoid attracting at tention, mainly on account Of his daugh- ter prepossessing girl of nineteen years by his former wife, and who is ac- companying him.
 The Associated Press correspondent talked for an hour with Dr. Chadwick, 6CihB ONtl thc iuOSt liHpOIldiil lthN0l f7 of Mrs. Chadwick's affairs, and particu- 1arly questioning the doctor upon the principal points in the case
 Many Misstatements Made.
 q do not think 1t desirable to enter into details" said he, until I return to America, as there have been so many misstatements that I do not know just what are the facts, and what is fiction. There is no truth in the report that Mrs. Chadwick settled a large sum on me. Do I look like man of millions? ?''
 Dr. Chadwick called attention to his ap- pearance as he uttered this remark say ing anyone would be able to see that I am not a man who had received millions from his wife,
 Asked concerning reports that Mrs. Chadwick is in reality Lydia De We're. he answered.
 ''The first time that I ever heard the name of Mime. De We're in this connection was when I saw 1t recently ir the papers. Only once before did I ever read the name. It was twenty-nine years ago at the post mortem examination at which assisted on a woman of that name, who was said to have been a fortune teller. only recall this from a peculiar surgical feature which the post mortem developed" :"

 The iron master was advised that he must see the United States district at torney here about the matter. The in- terpiew terminated with the remark upon MT. Carnegie's part that the weather did not agree with him. It was showing hard all the time. It was officially announced today that after MT. Carnegie returns from Cleveland he will be served with a subpoena for his appearance here at the investigation next Saturday unless Mrs. Chadwick agrees to go to Cleveland in the meantime.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-12-13

Dr. Chadwick mentioned this as clear ly showing his lack of knowledge that his wife was Lydia De We're, but he declined to discuss further the circum- stances of his marriage, saying it was matter of public record and purely personal
 Questioned upon the financial aspects of his wifes affairs, Dr. Chadwick replied:
 'The financial matters in the case do not affect me in the slightest. They speak of bonds being found. I would like to know what these bonds and pap CTS look like.
 Would Not Discuss Carnegie.
 The doctor was shown a publication stating that the alleged securities em- braced those of several millions of dol lars, signed or endorsed with the name of Andrew Carnegie.
 T do not know Andrew Carnegie per- sonally" replied Dr. Chadwick
 Does your wife know MT. Carnegie ?'' the doctor was asked
 T would rather not discuss Andrew Carnegie" said the doctor.
 A number of questions of similar pur- port concerning individual financial transactions failed to elicit specific re- sponse. Dr. Chadwick continued:
 'I would not like to harm anyone. I am very sorry to near that MT. Reynolds. secretary of the Wade Park bank of Cleveland, an old trusted friend is in trouble. have the profoundest respect for him and his family. I have met MT. Beck with of the Citizens bank or Oberlin once, twice or perhaps three times. From what l saw of him 1 have the greatest respect for him, and believe him to be an honest man. Concerning my relations with Mrs Chadwick l will explain them on my re- turn to the United States Although have not yet taken any definite steps con- cerning sailing, l intend leaving Paris foI the United States in a week or ten days '
 In the course of a later interview witt the Associated Press, Dr. Chadwick saic he must refuse to believe that Fri Reyn. olds could have said that he (Dr Chad wick was a co-conspirator with Mrs Chadwick, and that he was present wher Reynolds gave Mrs. Chadwick the al legged trust fund receipt The doctor as. serted that statements to that effect were wholly untrue.
 Being asked whether he was in com munication with his wife, pr. Chadwick refused to repIV

May Go to Cleveland Today.

New York, December 12.-Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick was overwhelmed by the de- velopment5 of her case in Cleveland to- day and the statement was made by one close to Ter that she would probably give up the fight here and return to Cleveland tomorrow night in the custody of United States officers She did not anticipate the double indictment which was found against her by the Cuyahoga county grand jury after the failure of the Lorraine county grand jury to find proba- be cause of action.
 Mrs. Chadwick is of the opinion that if she must face these charges, she will be far better off in her home city of Cleveland than in New York It is known that her counsel have strongly advised against this course of procedure, but Mrs. Chadwick insists that she be given free rein. In case this plan Is car ried out, Mrs. Chadwick will notify United States Commissioner Shields to- morrow through counsel, of her desire to waive examination and go to Cleveland without further formality Mir Shields will then sign the necessary papers and deliver them to United States Marshal Henkle who will personally take the wo- man to Cleveland on the earliest avail able train.
 Phillip Carpenter of her counsel, when
 
 q think it possible Mrs. Chadwick may go to Cleveland tomorrow or Wednes- day"
 He refused to discuss the indictments against his client in Cuyahoga county He simply said:
 Mrs. Chadwick is not fearful of the result She is entirely innocent of any crime"
 Declined to Discuss Matter. Mir Harpenter was shown the inter- view of the Associated Press with Dr. Chadwick in Paris, and was asked con corning several of the features brought out. but declined to discuss the matter in any of its phases.
 It was said at the residence of Andrew Carnegie tonight that he would be un- able to go to Cleveland to testify in the Chadwick case owing to illness. MT Carnegie is indisposed with an attack of lumbago and his physician Is of the opinion that 1t would not be advisable for Mir. Carnegie to take the trip.
 One of Mir Carnegie's secretary's said tonight that satisfactory arrangements have been made to that end with the United States district attorney H. L. Burnett
 Mrs Chadwick spent most of today in interviewing attorneys. She saw her counsel Messrs. Carpenter and Powers several times. and she also had long (ccntinued on Fourth Paae.l

Repeated efforts on MT. Reynolds part to close up the dealings with Mrs. @h-'f- wick met with excuse and delay lie was put off time again, yet did not lose conf dence. He had confidently beliN,ed every thing would be paid up to a week ago, and had not suspicion of anything wrong unti1 a few days before Newton brought his suit. Then his attorney. MT. Carver of Boston, called at the Wade Gark bank and said he understood he held some steel securities of Mrs. Chadwicks S, and showed him paper assigning all her rights and title in Reynolds holdings.
 Several notes of $10000 each, payable to Dr. Chadwick, had been taken up by MT. Reynolds. He declared they were payable out of any moneys that might have been on credit to Mrs. Chadwick in the First National bank of Cleveland on August 20. Some of these were paid, and in February or March, 1904 money was placed to her credit in this bank Mr. Reynolds thought money came from the east to pay all these and felt assured that what he held was all right.
 He was further assured when Judge Ol- cott of New York came to Cleveland and was introduced to him over the telephone by Mrs. Chadwick. Judge Olcott assured him that he would relieve Mrs. Chadwick Som her unenviable position He knew Judge OEotf was here because he was assured by a check for $500 signed by Judge Olcott which -hs received next day. He last saw her November 10 Sne desired to go east and had no money He cashed a check on the Lincoln Trust company of New York. It was returned marked account closed" He took 1t out of the Wade Park bank, paid it. and has 1t in his possession. He brought the Newton debt to her and advised her to go east and raise the money and settle the whole affair, and he thought she went east to see Andrew Carnegie.
 Has Fooled Many Men.
 MT Reynolds came away from New York, he said because he did not have money enough to stay there two hours. ''She has fooled me and many men smart CT than me; she has pulled wool over everybodys eyes"
 The with a faint smile, as if the humor appealed to him, despite his troubles, he said:
 "Once she came to me to ask if need ed help because of the run on our bank The witness had seen no other notes, but had seen a check which was sent to his house while i'll. It was for $6O,OO0 and had Andrew Carnegie's name signed to it Whether any money was ever pro- cured on it, he did not know.
 As to the value Of Mrs. Chadwick s household fittings MT. Reynolds tnought they might be worth about $200,000. He said he took a chattel mortgage about two years ago, but had never recorded 1t.
 This concluded the examination of MT. Reynolds, and the hearing was put over until Saturday for the presence of fur ther witnesses. These are, it is under stood, Mrs. Chadwick and her son, Emil. If they are not in this city by that time the examination will be put over still further

Making Garden.

April is the. month the man OF
the house starts a garden. And
this is the manner thereof: Fol
lowed by his admiring helpmeet
and his more or less interesting
children, and accompanied with
a spade he HES himself to the
back yard. He will have the let
tuce over in this corner, he says,
and the peas along the fence just
here, and the onion bed over
there. The space down the mid
die is good as any other for the
radishes, and a dozen tomato
vines will flourish over toward
the back where the sun shines
brightest; and if there is room
he will have a spinach bed right
next to radishes, with a little
parsley, which is awfully good IN
soup, you know, in the little va
cant space near the rear gate,
When his plans have been enthus-
iastically approved by his happy
little household, he begins to dig,
whistling. The second spadeful
of earth yields an angleworm.
A reminiscent smile steals over
the mans features, he scratches
his head refectively, and ne
makes a break for the woodshed,
where his fishpoIe is stored. Five
minutes later he is sitting on the
river bank, waiting for a bite.
And that is the last Of the gar
den.

Moving Time.

Moving time varies in different
places by a month or possibly
two. But regarding the work and
preparations it is all one thing.
Much help is found in beginning
properly and having some system.
Taking up carpets is one of the
trying and tedious duties. But
that may be done several days in
advance. When it is possible, send
the carpets to the other house and
get them fitted down before the
furniture must be carried in; at
least do this in one or two rooms,
that you may have one resting
place, where the things may be
put to stay without moving about
two or three times. In moving,
as in housekeeping, it is well to
look after needed repairs and get
all in order before the actual
moving comes. Take this oppor-
tunity of throwing out the &C
emulation Of needless articles.
Many otherwise sensible women
store up odds and ends for fu
ture use that never arises. 1t is
better to give away articles of no
present value to needy persons
than to store them in the garnet,
where they are of no use to any
one, and where they collect moth,
mold and dust.

Gentle Spring.

An early spring is sometimes a
good thing and someties it IS not.
We think it is better to have
frost in April than in June, and
as we have got to take them
sometime it is better to suffer a
continuation Of winter than to
have it break out suddenly after
we are Dragging about our early
beans and peas and such like.
It is usually the case that the
weather. as well as everything
else. comes very near striking an
average. If we have summer IN
winter we are quite likely to have
winter in summer. There seems
TO be about so much heat and so
much cold, and we have to get
them both. According to this the,
ory, then, the summer OF l9of
is bound to be extraordinarily
hot as the winter through which
we have just passed was exceed
ingly cold, but there have been
little signs of heat thus far, and
we have not yet heard that sun"
strokes have become common.
But. however, our winter colo
NAV be evened up with the COM
ING summer heat, there is one
thing that cannot be overcome
in one season, and that is the dam
age done to trees and grass by
long-continued zero weather. he
ports say that the peach trees are
practically ruined in many parts
of the country, and that even the
hardy apple trees have suffered
| more than was ever before
known. And the hay crop IS 60
ING to be light, reports from farm
| inc sections saying that clover
will be so short that the bees VIII
! have to get down on their knees
Ito suck the honey.

Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stouer" when you
are thinking of buy ing an engine,
as we can prove to you that it is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner," as it
