OF Andrew Carnegie, would be dis
cussed.

land House. where she has resided,
for the New Amsterdam Hotel. She
was accompanied by her son and a
maid, and took with her some bag
gage Secret service men. who have

Chadwick was helped into the wom-
ems reception room, where she faint

the announcement after several con-
ferences with Receiver Lyon, Mr.. Old
