CAESARS STATUE
AS ITALY'S GIFT
Figure of Roman Warrior May Be

New York Sun Special Service I. l p.
Washington, Dec. Italy may pre-
sent this country with a statue Of
Julius Caesar to stand beside that of
Frederick the. Great at the army war
college. The Italian government. was
deeply impressed with the ceremony
with which the kaiser5's gift was dedi-
Gated and thinks closer friendship be
tween Washington and Rome might re-
suit from a similar present. Italy
takes particular interest in Caesar,
who was. one of the generals named by
the president, as worthy Of a place on
the war college grounds. z.ss
1t is believed that it will take many
years owork out the statuary scheme
as outlined by Mr.. Roosevelt. France
might be, looked to for a statue Of Ma.
poleon, but for. the fact that the French
government has been very liberal in its
gifts to this country. It's last gift, a
bust of Washington, hes not yet form
ally been accepted. It is not thought
congress would appropriate any money
for statue other than that Of Wash

Duquoin, Ill, Dec. 1.-According to
Sheriff Stein, an attack was made on

tight board fence about fifteen feet
high. At each end, at diagonal cor
ners, are blockhousess, in each of which
approaches, these guns are placed il
readiness for an attack.
superintendent c. G.. Whittier refused
to give details Of the firing last night
beyond stating that there was consid
cradle firing, to which the company :
said that he could not say whether mos
of the firing was from the inside O
outside Of the town. It is not known
whether any one was in ured.
The zeigler Coal company has con
cluded to rush into the mining town a
many men as are necessary to work tn
plant to it's fullest capacity. Last even
brought in from ST. Louis, over the ST
I4ouis Valley railroad, by way Of De
Gotta. They arrived in two specia
coaches, and were drawn directly insid

filed with deputy United States MAJ
shals and private guards furnished b
the company.
-. Word is received from Zeigler tina
d six of the twenty-five Pennsylvani
miners, who were shipped into Zeigle

CHADWICK DEBTS
OVER A MILLION
Strange Case Is Likened to the
Humbert Mystery in
Paris.
Woman Borrowed Like a Money
King and Spent Money
Like Queen.

New. York, Dec 1.-The announce
ment that one of the largest creditors
of Mrs. Cassie L.. Chadwick, the Cleve-
land woman whose financial affairs
came into prominence IN sensational
way a few days ago, had agreed upon a
settlement, has given a new phase to
this strange case. AT the same time the
air of mystery which has surrounded
every turn thus far made was still
present today and there was absolutely
nothing beyond conjecture to indicate
what the outcome would be. Il
That all the Legitimate claims against
Mrs Chadwick will be met is the state
same time they decline to SAY anything
as to the source from which the neces-
sary funds will be obtained.
@"Mrs. Chadwick will produce the
necessary collateral to meet all just oh
legations at the proper time. We do not
feel called upon to inform the public as
to the nature of this collateral or from
whcoce it will come.'
This statement in brief covers the at
| titude taken by Mrs. Chadwick IS legal
advisers. Beyond that they have abso-
lutely nothing to say. They would not
discuss the value Of the securities said
! to be in the possession, of Ira Reynolds,
treasurer of the Wade Park Banking
company of Cleveland.
Claims Near Million.
The settlement of the Newton claim
when made, will reduce Mrs. Chad
wick s alleged obligation by 100000
At the same time, however, there re
main claims aggregating at least $500,
O00. That they may. reach a greater sun
is apparent from statement made by
her attorney yesterday. He had beer
asked to name the aggregate. amount
of the claims already filed against Mrs
Chadwick, but declined to do 80. Whe1
replied: s'Well, you may place it al
that figure For all I know there may
be claims for $20,ooo,oo0 against her. :
