TO ALL INDICTMENTS

Bond; Will Stay In Jail.

Sheriff Barry Will Permit No One In
side of Jail Except During Visitors
Hours-Her Mail Must Be Examined
by United States Marshal.

Cleveland, Dec. 17.-Mrs. Chadwick
pleads not guilty to all the indictments
found against her by the special grand
jury. She will not give bail and will
be again locked up in the county Jail.
Mr.. Chadwick this morning had her
first experience with the rule made
yesterday by Sheriff Barry that she
would receive no visitors except in
the regular visiting hours. Her nurse
Freda called at the Jail early this
morning and was told that she could
not see Mrs. Chadwick and departed
after leaving some small articles that
she had brought 1t is not probable
that the prisoner will see anybody
from this time on as even in Jail visit
ing hours she will be compelled to de-
scend three flights of stairs and talk
to her visitors through a small window
in the jail gratings provided for that
purpose. Her physical condition and
temper were improved this morning
She declined to order any breakfast
but read the morning papers with in
terest and laughed heartily at several
stories they contained, one of which
declared that she had received check
for $85,000,000 payable on the Bank
Of the River Jordan, seeming to afford
her especial amusement.
Sheriff Barry this morning reiterat-
Cd his order of yesterday that she
would not, while in the county jail
be permitted to receive people-even
when an order signed by the United
States marshal was presented.
Unless the visitors came between
the hours Of and 8 on days other
than Saturday, Sunday and holidays,
they would not be permitted to enter
the Jail.
]. P. Wawley, her attorney, said this
morning that Mrs. Chadwick would
not answer any question in court for
the present and will make not state
NETS.
After walking about the jail corri.
dor for some time, Mrs. Chadwick an
nounced that she was sick and a ply
sician was hurriedly sent for Before
DIR. R. A. Wall, who was summoned,
had reached the Jail, Mrs. Chadwick
tainted. A few restoratives soon re-
stored her to consciousness and the
physician left after being with her for
about Is minutes. The woman is in
no condition to receive visitors or
transact business, said Dr. Wall, as he
left the Jail. She Is suffering from
complete mental exhaustion.
After DR.. Wall had departed Mrs.
Chadwick's son, Emil Hoover, called
to see her, but was told to return dur
ing visiting hours prescribed by the
Jail rules.
Sheldon Kerruish, one of her attor.
neys, called with a bundle of mall,
which Sheriff Barry refused to allow
him to deliver as it had not been ex.
amined by the United States marshal.

the largest butter contract ever en-
tered into anywhere, It was at Grst
intended to award the entire contract,

afford a thorough opportunity Of mat
ing a comparison between the two.

win be consumed by the enlisted men
Of Uncle Sans navy during the fiscal

ate delivery OF $4,000 pounds, the re-
mainder to be furnished as called for.
Specifications Of the Contract.
The specifications on this contract
relative TO the quality of butter that

ing the dairy.

ter is made must all be sterilized. The

be sealed after a special process max
ing them absolutely air-tight. and will
then be wrapped in paper and packed
in heavy wooden cases. These will be
