Sumpter Valley Railroad Extension Re-
ported to Be Blocked.

New York, Nov. 2s.-E. II. Hartman
has blocked the announced purpose Of
the Sumpter Valley railroad to build
into Praicie City and it is known here
that 1t will now be impossible for thai
road to extend its lines until Mr.. Harri-

The object in preventing extension Of
the Sumpter Valley line is to keep Its

to avoid the possibility OF 1t develop
ing into road that might at some
futuer date make trouble for the Harri-
man interests.
The method adopted by the Harri-
man officials in dealing with the Sump-
ter Valley was simple and effective.
Though there was not the least en-
couragement offered from Hartman,
1t was announced some time ago that
the Sumpter Valley would extend, tap
ping rich country and rendering settle
ment possible and mining districts
productive. Grading was done and
steel rails were ordered. Then came
the trouble.
The Hartman roads, over which the
steel for the Sumpter Valley tracks
must come, refused to make a special
rate for the material, and the Sumpter
Valley faced the necessity of paying
full freight charges. enough to serious
ly cripple, financially, a much larger
corporation. Thus the matter stands.
portion of the grading has been done
and the Sumpter Valley management
has announced that it will build. But
Mr.. Hartman has said, quitely and
to himself. that the road would not
extend. There is possibility that the
nigh-rate difficulty may be overcome.
out this does not seem probable.

Agrees to Conclude Arbitration Treaty
With United States.


st. Petersburg. Nov. 2S.-Russia has
accepted the invitation of the United
States to conclude an arbitration treaty

Lamsdorff by Charge d'Affairs Eddy,
November 2S. This afternoon Count
Lamsdorff replied, accepting in prin-

ing that Russia would propose some
slight notifications. These are ex-
pected to be drafted In a few days, and
the final consummation of the new rap

be delayed.
Although 1t was known that the Am

SOCIAL LEADER IN DISGRACE.
Suit Filed Brings to Light Remarkable
Story Of Woman.


New York. Nov. 2S.--out of the suit

Brooklyn, Mass, to recover $190,OOC
from Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, one Of
Cleveland's most prominent social lead
ers, who Is now prostrated with grief
over the exposure. at the Holland house
in this city. has developed one of the
most remarkable stories of modern
times.
Against Mrs. Chadwick, now the wife
of one of the greatest physicians of the
country. Is made the charge that she
secured loan of $4,000 on a batch
of securities she alleged to be tempor-
arily tied up in litigation, From the
publicity attached to the filing of the
suit, however, has developed the life
story of the woman in the case, who is
represented by the Cleveland press as
having been arrested for forgery when
she was 21 and released in 1898. She
met and married DIR. Chadwick seven
years ago and since that time has been
a distinguished social leader, not only
in Cleveland, but throughout the mid
die west.
Tonight Mrs. Chadwick, through her
son, Emil H. Chadwick, denied abso-
lutely the stories being circulated con-
corning her. The Cleveland press set
forth with force and directness the alle-
cations that Mrs. Chadwick is none
other than a former clairvoyant and
fortune-teller, whose career in Toledo
smirched the regulations Of men of
prominence and whose departure was
regarded with thankfulness by many
wives. The hearing of the case prom
ises a sensation.
The suit brought by Newton against

alleged bogus homesteads. other evil
dence was introduced to show that
Howe in turn had decided tract In
the contested sections to Mckinley.
The district attorney stated that he
would prove that the name Howe was
and really was one Of the
conspirators under another name. The
government further asserts it will
prove that the object of the alleged con-
spirators was not to secure land. but
to gain scrip rights.

prive the alleged intimacy of Puter and
Mrs. Watson, introduced the keeper Of
