PREMIER COMBES
AGAIN SUSTAINED
ASSURES THE CARRYING OUT OF
THE PLANS FOR SEPARATION
OF CHURCH AND STATE IN THE
REPUBLIC.

Paris, December 10.-Premier Combes
the vote in the chamber of deputies yes
terday evening having the effect Of maxi
ing the ministry stronger than ever.
This assures carrying out reforms of
which the principle feature Is the sep
aration of church and state. The over
throw OF the army programme has been
live issue. although the opposition
contended on a number OF minor ques-
tions wherein they were able to arouse
popular sympathy.
The system by which the government
collects its information concerning the
private lives of army officers and civil
officials were the principal means OF at
tack. The opposition succeeded In arous-
ing popular agitation, especially in the
Dreyfus case. Nearly the entire country
has taken sides for or against the prac-
tice of duelling. War Minister Des Falles
and Deputy Syvilons' tragic duel and the
riots over the Joan of Arc incident were
part of the same manifestation. 1t was
believed that M. Combes would be un-
able to resist the wave of popular agi-
tation, but the vote was accepted as CIV
ing the cabinet indefinite extension. 1t
also shows the growing stability of the
French cabinet, and its power to resist
popular agitation.
The governments issuance Of permit
to M. De Roulede to enter France and
fight a duel with M Jaures is construed
as being a formal, official recommenda-
tion of dueling.
De Roulede has written sarcastic let
ter pointing out the novelty of the pres
ence OF gendarmes In full uniform repre-
senting the government at the recent
duel.

OUTPUT SHOULD
NOT Be LIMITED
PRESIDENT ELIOT OF HARVARD
TELLS WHAT HE CONSIDERS
CHIEF DEFECT IN UNloNlsM AS
IT EXISTS TODAY.

New York. December 10.--1 he attitude
of President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard
university toward labor unions, expressed
In an address before an association of
New York today, did not meet with the
favor of many of his hearers In long
and general discussion which followed the
address, his position was assaled by
number of speakers. DR.. Bliot's reply to
his critics evoked applause.
President Eliot's subject was "Educa-
ton In a republic" He declared that the
education suitable in a republic must
necessarily be different from what would
be suitable in a country where all the
young men are given a military training.
He thought also that the industrial mo-
tives should not be entirely dominant In
the schools The essentials for success,
he said where to teach the children to
think-to teach the habit Of concentrated
attention.
At the conclusion of the formal address
and in reply to a question, his reference
to labor unions was made. In his opinion
the chief defects In trades unions system
as it exists today is the doctrine OF limi-
tation of output. Nothing in present day
conditions was more demoralizing, he
said than this feature of the labor
unions.

Cincinnati. o.. December 1o.-An oberlin.

Mrs. Chadwick. President Beckwith told
of repeated visits to Mrs. Chadwick
when promises were made that the money
would soon be forthcoming. Finally w.
b. Bedortha attorney for the Oberlin
bank on his deathbed. told several direc-
tors Of the bank that President Beck
with was involved with Mrs. Chadwick.
President Beckwith was never able to
get a look at the 100000 securities but
his visits to the Wade bank in Cleveland
to see Cashier Iri Reynolds, custodian of
the collateral assured him somewhat
President BeciSwith says that he had
several interviews with DIR. Chadwick,
Cashier Spear and Judge Albaugh to the
Cleveland home OF Mrs. Chadwick. The
two bankers pleaded for money. Mrs.
Chadwick made more promises. Mr..
Beckwith was aroused 70 anger, and
when he saw the hopelessness OF 1t all.
he threat ened to commit suicide. He
drew a revolver Mrs. Chadwick cried
that "all would be lost" f the banker

Mrs. Chadwick viii Spend
Sunday in TOnbs
RECEIVES SOME TELEGRAMS
Andrew Carnegie Is Summoned to Ap-
pear In CIeVeIand-Total of the
Alleged Securities Is
Nearly $14,ooo,ooo.

New York, December 10-Mrs Cassie
L. Chadwick is still confined in cell
In the tombs. Philip Carpenter, her at
torney, informed the Associated Press to-
night that she would not go to Cleveland
before Monday. and the belief is preva-
lent that she will not go to the Ohio
city without a fight
Her counsel both here and in Ohio
united in opposing her voluntary depart
ure from New York.
1t was said late tonight that a bonds
man had been found who will qualify in
s15,0O0 the amount of bail demanded by
United States Commissioner Shields, be-
fore whom Mrs. Chadwick was arraigned.
The name of the person will not be
made public until Monday, when 1t is said
he will sign the bond.
The matter according to the authority
of the statement, could have been set
tied today, but Mrs. Chadwick desired
to remain in the tonbs over Sunday, SO
that she might have more time to con-
sider her future action. Several men
would have given the necessary bail had
they been able to do SO without their
names becoming public, but the law
states that the identity of the bondsman
cannot be kept secret.
It is also contrary to the courts ruling
for a lawyer to give bail for his client.
Remained Quietly in Cell.
Mrs. Chadwick remained quietly in her
cell today, receiving no callers other
than her counsel, son and nurse. She
availed herself of the privilege which
allows prisoners to exercise In the corri-
dor during certain hours and also read
the papers, besides receiving several let
ters and kilograms.
Relieved from the nervous tension
which preceded her arrest, Mrs. Chadwick
is recovering her normal physical condi-
ton She had several attacks OF less
during the afternoon, but readily respond
ed to treatment and is much better to-
night. Her appetite is good and she ate
three hearty meals today.
Just what has become of the money
Mrs. Chadwick is alleged to have raised
on loans is a question which Is interest
Ing the persons connected with the case.
Il has been claimed that three years ago
she settled 2500,000 on her husband, DR..
Leroy Chadwick, and that since that
time she has borrowed over 100000.
A rumor is current tonight that eflorts
will be made at once to locate Dr. Chad
wick and his daughter, who sailed Tor
Havre France, on the steamer Savoie
from this port November 3. They have
been reported from several places in Eu-
rope, but Mrs. Chadwick and her attor-
neyS nave kept lnelr exact WheiedpoueS
a secret. Another matter of interest in the
case is the statement that DIR. Chadwick
Is said to have given Herbert d. Newton
of Brooklne, Mass, two checks aggregat-
ing $50, 900 in part payment for his wife s
Indebtedness, which are alleged to have
come back from the bank on which they
were drawn stamped without funds"
1t was intimated today that If DR.. Chad
wick does not return from Europe soon
these checks may figure in international
PROCEEDINGS.

Committee Is PerpIexed.

The invitation committee of the inau-
gural committe is perplexed over the
question of issuing the usual formal in
vitations to the governors of the states
to attend the Inauguration Of President
Roosevelt, March 4. b. II. Warner, the
chairman, says the situation, is rather
embarrassing and he is not yet decided
Upon what course he will pursue.
1t all comes about over Governor Var
daman of Mississippi. 1t is. OF course,
known that the Mississippi governor
would not accept the invitation, but the
committee does not want to give the
governor the opportunity TO turn down
the invitation and criticise the President
at the same time. Many believe, how
ever that Vardaman being the govern
or of Mississippi. should be invited and
that the committee will be sighting the
state rather than the governor by with
holding an invitation.
