Lucky Creditors.
One and Oue-Half Mills on Dollar
for Them.

Cleveland. O., Dec. r3.-The
grand jury commenced today an
investigation Of the affairs Of Mrs.
Chadwick, The prosecutor is con-
hdant an Indictment will be voted.
The creditors of Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick, as a whole, will receive
about one and one-half mills on the
dollar, accoi ding to the most ac-
curate estimate Of the woman's es-
tate before the receiver has rade
an investigation.
What lends additional interest to
the showing, from the creditors
standpoint. is that one man, ri
Reynolds, will receive the whole Of
the assets visible at the present
time. There may be bonds in re-
serve somewhere, as there may be
additional creditors who have not
yet announced that Mrs. Chadwick
is indebted to them, but it is not ex-
pected by bankers and attorneys Of
this city who have the greatest
knowledge of her affairs that any
more large loans will be developed.
The extent Of her operations is
now believed to be approximately
as follows:
Secured from Citizens National
Bank of Oberlin and various
sources in and about Lorain conn
ty, Ohio. $500, 600.
Borrowed from Herbert D. New
ton, SI9o, 900.
Borrowed from business men in
Pittsburg, $500, 600.
THE SECURITY AMOUNTS TO $500.
Against this stands security of
known value only one good note
amounting to $1,000, which is held
by Iri Reynolds.

Only TWsnIy-Eight Millions.
Total Amount Of Mrs. Chadwick $
Securities Enormous

Cleveland, O., Dec. I3-The
total amount of securities deposited
BY Mrs. Chadwick with the Wade
Park bank has been found to ap-
proximate twenty-eight million
dollars. The highest estimate
placed on them heretofore has been
fifteen nillion dollars. The in
vestigatiou of the grand jury was
resumed today.
Herbert W. Bell who was receiver
for the common pleas court, took
possession Of the securities deposit
ed with the Wade Park bank de-
clared today that he found them
TO be nearly double what he at
first supposed. When asked if
they possessed value, Bell said with
smile
Well, l would not care 10 pay
much for any Of them"
The indictment against Mrs.
Chadwick in connection with the
Carnegie note Of FIVE million dollars
which was among the securities
left by her in the Wade Park
bank, was said by the prosecutor
to be among the probabilities. He
declared also that he proposed to
direct today's investigation toward
an easrern attorney who had been
acquainted with some of Mrs.
Chadwick transactions.

AN UPRIGHT OFFICIAL

Judge Payne was very proud
man today and he had reason to be
proud. It was enough to make
any man proud TO have large
number Of the best business and
professional men in the town give
testimony to his high worth as a
man and his integrity as an official.
Judge Payne is a republican of-
fee holder. The EXPRESS is a
democratic organ, but it believes
in fair play and honor where hou-
or is due" Indian Territoiy has
been inflicted with some poor ex-
cuses at times IN the way Of Office
holders and has suffered from car
pet bagism, but when a man is
appointed to an Office who is wor-
thy and who makes record for
faithful and honorable conduct As

an officer and a gentlemen. the
ExPREss believes giving him the
praise and commendation which IS
due him.
Whatever the motives back Of
this movement, whether they were
sinister and selfish OF prompted by
public zeal, the result spells moth
ing but condemnation for the effort
10 bring a good man into disrepute.
Judge Payne has lived in Chick
asha since the early days Of the
town and his record is clean from
the start. To be sure he has come
in for his share of criticism, as
every public official does in the
nature Of things, but his public and
private life has been above re-
proach.

JOHN BARLEYcORN, MURD-
ERE2.

Two killing cases were tried in
th commissioner 5 court last week.
In both Of these cases the accused
vas dismissed, the facts not being
sufficient to warrant a presumption
Of guilt. However, there was
guilty party in each case although
his name did not appear in the
proceedings. John Barleycorn was
unquestionably the guilty man.
In the first case a man was for
ced to kill an intoxicated negro in
self-defense. Drink crazed the
negro and inhamed him with an
insane desire to take life. III his
sober moments, he had no malice
against the man whose life he was
attempting to take. Had the
liquor hend not enslavcd his will,
he would not have committed the
act which made it necessary for
another unwillingly 10 take his
life. Liquor and liquor alone was
responsible for the deed.
In the second case two men who
were the best Of friends we're in
volved. All the facts tended to
support the view that the killing
was accidental and so far as the
two principals were concerged, il
undoubtedly was such. There was
no possible motive for the act and
the man who was held in connect
ion with the case was deeply
grieved over the unfortunate affair.
There was whisky in the case, both
men we're drinking, and if the real
criminal were brought to justice,
his name would appear as, John
Barleycorn /"
These are only two Of numerous
instances in which the liquor hend
has played the part Of the murder
er. Such examples are worthy Of
more than passing notice. They
are striking object lessons Of the
power Of drink for evil.
How to deal with this great
question is a problem that taxes
the mental resources Of the best and
greatest men and women. The
enormity and awfulness Of the
drink evil is admitted.
Among good citizens who give
the question more than a passing
thought, there is a wide difference
of opinion as to the best method Of
dealing with it. 4 large class Of
people think that the remedy lies
in legislation, while another class
equally large think that the final
remedy will be reached only in the
education OF the Individual in
temperance and right-living.
What is best for each individual
community must be determined by
local conditions and the best people
owe it to themselves and to society
to give the question the consider
alton necessary to reach the most
rational conclusion and settle it
consistently with the highest in
terest Of the individual and societ y
at large.

BOARD OF ORDNANCE.
Report of Work Done and Estimates of
 Things Needed.

Report of Work Done and Estimates of
 Things Needed.
 Washington. Nov. 1o.-The annual report of the Board of Ordnance and Notifications. headed by Major Gen. eraI Gillespie, shows that the usual amount of experimental work has beep performed by the board during the past year. Many devices of novel design have been tested, but no novelty of real merit has been developed.
 The Board renews It's recommenda- ton of last year, for the immediate pro- curement of medium calibre rapid-fire guns of coast defense to the extent of 200 semi automatic high-velocity six pounder guns on pedestal mounts, 200 semi-automatic of calibre large enough to fire shrapnel. mounted on field carriages, and 200 automatic ma chine guns, thirty calibre. The Board also wants a reserve supply of ammu- milton of at least 100 rounds for the large guns and mortars and 250 rounds for the rapid-fire guns. as without Q sufficient supply of ammunition the coast defense armament is useless.
 An abundant supply of ammunition for target practice also is requested and other measures are recommended looking to the installment of range- finders, ,searchlights, telephone lines and other necessities of modern coast de- fence system. The Board submits an estimate of $50.000 to carry on it's work next year, which is only one- half of the present allowance.
