HONOR OF MEMORY
OF QUAY AND H0AR

Washington, Dec. 4.-The first act of
the Senate, after convening tomorrow,
will be to adjourn out of respect to the
memory of Senators Quay and Hoar.
This will postpone receipt of the Pres
ident's annual message until Tuesday.
For the remainder of the week ex-
ceedingly brief sessions are expected.
On Thursday an adjournment will be
taken until the following Monday.
Senator Lodge will press the House
bill for the amendment of the Philip
pine government law as soon as prac-
ticable, and has announced his inten-
ton not to brook opposition to it's con-
sideration, but it is probable he will
not urge 1t this week.
Senator Hepburn gave notice last
session that he would call up the pure
food bill next Thursday.
Another measure which probably
will be taken up early in the session
is the bill for admission of the four
Southwest territories as two states.
Nothing more than preliminary work.
however, can be done on any of these
bills in the first week.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-12-05

from Cleveland that President Beck
with of the suspended Citizens Ma
tional Bank of Oberlin was to be
placed under arrest an official of the
United States Secret Service appeared
at the Holland House and took up his
station there. He declared, however.
that he was not interested in the
Chadwick case.
Emil, the young son OF Mrs Chad
wick, who has been staying near his
mother for several days, was the sub
ject of some inquiry to-day. 1t was
said that he had left the hotel. This
could not be verified.
1t was rumored that the boy had left
town with the jewels alleged to belong
to his mother and that she would fol-
low him tonight or tomorrow. This
was denied by Mr.. Carpenter, who
said his client would remain in New
York at least through Monday.
Much interest attaches to the cable
gram sent from Europe by DIR. Leroy
Chadwick to-day. DIR. Chadwick, ac-
companied by his 20-year- daughter,
sailed from New York on board La
Savoie of the French transatlantic
line on Nov. g. While DIR. and Miss
Chadwick cannot be definitely located
at the present time, it is believed that
they are very near Paris. He has
spent a great deal of time in Europe
and is we'll known in European capt.
tails.
Attorney Carpenter is authority for
the statement that Mrs. Chadwick will
not leave the country until her finan-
cial difficulties have been adjusted but
after that it is expected that she will
join her husband and stepdaughter
and take a long rest at some point
along the Mediterranean

vanced to the Charge.
Toxic, Dec. 4.-The diary of the
fighting around 2OS Metre Hill. which
is published in the Japanese papers,
describes the terrible losses in the
storming of the Russian position from
dawn of Nov. 2S 1O:11 o'clock in
the forenoon of that day.
A Russian counter attack began at
dawn on Nov. 29. and was so furious
ly pushed that the Japanese were com
PEELED to retire from both sides of
the hill into the valley The attack
was renewed the morning of Nov. 30,
when all the Japanese reserves. came
up" from the southwestern corner; but
these assailants only advanced thirty
metres by o'clock. so stubborn was
the resistance, and the Japanese suf-
fered severe losses.
Then, being reinforced the Japan
ese maintained the struggle with ter
rfble earnestness. Furious charges
were repeatedly made, and the Rus
slams were compelled gradually to re-
tire.
The southwestern summit of the hill
was not occupied until o'clock and
the northwestern summit not until s
o'clock. During the night six Russian
counter attacks were repulsed. One,
which was launched at 4 o'clock in
the morning, was characterized by
several bayonet attacks and was per-
sisted in until noon of Dec. 1, when
the Russians retired.

would be a spirited party debate.

ROOSEVELT LAUDED
BY REV. LEN BROUGHT0N.
Atlanta Preacher COmmends the
President as all That is Noble.

Ecsiueht as all IhnN Is noble.
Atlanta, Dec. 4.-Rev. Or. Len G.
Broughton in his sermon at the Bap-
tist Tabernacle tonight lauded Presl-
dent Roosevelt as a hero, a Christian
gentleman and one of the country's
foremost statesmen. He indorsed the
proposals to invite the President to At
lanta and other Southern cities. and
said he should be treated everywhere
not only with consideration that is
due his high office, but with that which
is due him as one of the country's
greatest men.
"Roosevelt's election" DIR. Brough-
ton declared. SIS the greatest triumph
the country has ever known"
Dr. Broughton criticised the South's
political leadership. and declared the
time had come to get out of the laps
of such political Delilahs as had shear
ed the party of its locks. He said sec
tlonal newspapers We're responsible for
the defeat of the political aspirations
of the South. He ridiculed the cry of
"nigger," and said Roosevelt was a
patriot, and he declared that Cleveland
had hobnobbed with negroes as much
as Roosevelt.
we should stop chewing the rag"
he said, "and pitch our politics on a
high plane"

KEIFER HAS A CALL.
Says His Mission Is to Prevent Dis
franchisement in the south.


franchisement in the south.
Columbus, o., Dec. 4.-Gen. j.
Warren Keifer. former speaker of the
National House of Representatives,
who has been again elected to Congress
from the Seventh Ohio district, has is
sued statement in which he an
nounces that his mission is to secure
legislation to prevent the disfranchise-
ment of voters in the South. He says:
"All I contend for is equal voting
power in all the states in electing mem
bers in the House of Representatives
and in electing a President of the
United States. This equality of right
should be conceded, and no principle
of generosity to the South requires
any surrender of a fundamental prin-
ciple of our form of government. With
election laws in substantial accord in
all states, and with the natural ten
dency to prevent restriction of the
franchise, population without regard to
race is fair rule for determining equal
representation.
"a just rule should be found and
great care should be taken to avoid the
possibility of doing injustice to any
state and whatever rule is adopted
must be applied North as well as
South"

Spear of the Citizens' Nationar
Bank of OberIin Are the Omcials
Arrested-They Had Loaned Mrs.

Cashier Spear of that bank were placed
under arrest late tonight by United
States Marshal Chandler of Cleveland
at their homes in Oberlin.
The arrests of Becxwith and Spear
are the first that have been made in
the Chadwick case. The Citizens Ma
tional Bank, with which they are con-
nected, is creditor to the extent of
$240,O00 from Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick,
whose financial affairs during the past
week have been the cause of a great
deal of publicity. The bank is capital
lied at but $6O.OO0
Since the disclosure of the banks
dealing with Mrs. Chadwick the pres
ident, cashier and directors have held
conferences and meetings frequently.
All the time there has been expressed
nv President RaclxvvitI Of IaaSt q boDa
of reimbursement of the banks loan
to Mrs. Chadwick, but so far as known
no remittance has been received.
President Beckwith has been in a
state bordering on physical collapse
for nearly a week, and for the past
three or four days has been confined
to his bed. He has expressed the ut
most regret over the outcome of the
banks dealings with Mrs. Chadwick,
and has given no intimation as to why
loaned from the bank to Mrs. Chad
wick.
The warrants on which Beckwith and
Spear were arrested charge them with
violation of the federal banking laws.
Nathan Loeser, receiver for Mrs.
Chadwick's property, said tonight that
he would qualify in that office to-
morrow morning and would then file
his bond for $4,000. Loeser also said
that he would try to have the chattel
mortgages held by the Elyria Bank set
aside on the ground that it is prefer
ence, and that all creditors should
share alike.
President Beckwith took his arrest
quietly. Neither banker was locked
up. A marshal remains with Spear
at hotel and a deputy is at Presi-
dent Beckwiths house.

tors family are also standing by Mrs.
Chadwick loyalty and are in entire
sympathy with her.
Mrs. Chadwick has acted in the
most honorable way in all her dealings
that have come to my knowledge. One
very good evidence Of this is found in
the unshaken confidence still reposed
in her by her largest creditors and
those who know her best"
Mrs. Chadwick remained in her
rooms In the Holland House, Dr.
Moore, her physician. called i'm the
morning and found Mrs. Chadwick I'm
