 of this note will point to other loans by Mrs. Chadwick as yet not made public Is a matter of much speculation.

 Newton Had No Security.
 Attorney Carver. of counsel for Her bert D. Newton, of Brookiine. Mass, is quoted as having said esrly today that If President Beckwith, the Oberlin banker. believed that the Newton loan to Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick was based on the so-called s5oo.ooo note, he is mistaken.
 When Newton loaned the money" the attorney said, "he had no security whatever except her personal note The money was loaned in small amounts until finally new notes were given to cover the total amount loaned.
 Newton was shown note for s50o,- 900. but l decline to say whose name appeared on 1t.
 He was also shown the certificate signed by Ira Reynolds to the effect that he had s5.000. 900 of securities be- longing to Mrs. Chadwick
 When it was brought into the case the first thing I did after long con- ference in New York with Mrs. Chad wick was to obtain an assignment of the securities supposed to be held by Reynolds. Further developments de- pend on whether Reynolds actually holds securities to the amount he cer- tified."
 It was learned this morning that Mrs. Chadwick had summoned to her apart ments late last night counsel represent ing Newton and also her own counsel.

Dec. 6.--President c. T. Beckwith was practically in state of collapse today as result of the trying ordeal through which he passed yesterday in conn lection with his hear ing before the United States Commits sioner at Cleveland. Beckwith is com pletely postrated and his grief is pitiful. In discussing his trouble the voice of the aged banker is choked with emotion. Today in speaking of the Carnegie notes he vehementiy de- clared that if the signatures were forg- cries then the hand of the law should be laid upon Mrs. Chadwick.
 Why should I stand the brunt of all this trouble which has been directly brought about by the acts of that wo- man?' he cried.
 Continuing Mir. Beckwith said:
 T have every reason to believe that the notes were genuine. Indeed. Mrs. Chadwick swore they were. She sol emnIy declared that she had seen Mir Carnegie write his signature on them. To confirm this she brought an attor- ney with her who declared that he was the legal representative or MT. Carne- 1 sie, and this attorney. whose name now cannot state, declared he knew l positively that the signatures were gem uine.
 Tt is true that we-Mr. Spear and 1 myself--did endorse the notes. but of course we had no idea that they were | to be put to the use that they were af- l terward. And then again we had the | positively assurance of Ira Reynolds. Secretary of the Wade Park Banking Company. at Cleveland. that he had the securities that Mrs. Chadwick claimed | he had.
 "Oh, my God!" exclaimed the old man, If I only could have my life to l live again for the past two years that I might save my name from this great dishonor that has befallen me-" l Carnegie Makes Denial.
 New York, Dec. 6.-Andrew Carne. gie's secretary gave out the following statement yesterday: MT. Carnegie wants me to say that | he does not want to be bothered any more about this Chadwick woman. He is quite angry over the persistent use of his name and wishes 1t to cease at once. Once for all, he never knew Mrs Chadwick, or any other such a woman and never signed any such pa- | pers as the reports credit him with |. | That's all."
 Mir Oldham had long interview with Frank Lyon. the receiver of the Ober- l lin Bank today. Neither would make | any statement except to admit that the subject of conversations had been the use of Mir. Carnegie's name on the notes now held by the bank. Emil Chadwick Arrives.
