MRS. CHADWICK
UNDER ARREST
Charged With Aiding Bank Official
to Embezzle S12,500.
ACCUSED BURST INTO TEARS

New York, Dec. S-The climax in
the affairs of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick
came when she was placed under ar
rest in her apartments at the Hotel
Breslin. charged with aiding and
abetting a bank officer in embezZling
$12,5OO. Commissioner Shields issued
the warrant, which charges viola
ton of section 5209 of the United
States federal laws. relating to con-
spiracy.
There was a scene in the woman's
room when the officials announced to
Mrs. Chadwick that she was under ar
rest. A maid opened the door. and
Agent Flynn asked for Mrs. Chadwick.
Her son stood by and witnessed with a
blank face the scene which followed.
He stepped to his mothers side as she
burst into tears, but said nothing.
Marshal Henkel, who, with his depu-
ties and United States Secret Service
Agent William ]. Flynn grouped in
the door of Mrs. Chadwick's apart
ments. had entered without knocking,
found her in bed. He said: Madame.
l have an unpleasant duty to perform.
l am Obliged to serve a warrant for
your arrest, issued by United States
Commissioner Shields. at the instance
of the federal authorities of Ohio"
81 am very nervous and ill.," replied
Mrs. Chadwick What shall | do?
certainly am unable to get up"
''In that case" said the marshal, II
shall be obliged to remain here and
keep you under surveillance. You will
realize that unpleasant as this is for
both of us, you are a prisoner, and |
have no right to leave you here alone.
l will do everything | can to relieve
you of annoyance, however"
The secret service men engaged a
room adjoining Mrs. Chadwick's' suite
and established themselves there,
while one of the marshars men was
posted in Mrs. Chadwick's bedroom,
one outside her door. and another in
the corridor.
George w. Ryall. a lawyer. repre-
senting Mr.. Newton. of Brookline, one
of Mrs. Chadwick's creditors, called
to see her soon after the arrest. He
whispered with her for a moment and
then left the room.
BY permission of the marshal. Mrs.
Chadwick telephoned to her physician,
Dr. Moore, to come to her at once He
arrived a few moments later. The ply
sician said that although he had ad-
vised her several days ago to go to a
sanitarium. she would be able to ap-
pear before the United States commits
sioner.
The deputy marshals and secret SER
vice men. who were in Mrs. Chad
wick's room, said that the name of
Andrew Carnegie was mentioned sew
eral times. and that the sound of the
name each time caused Mrs. Chadwick
to smile. The officers added that. al
though nervous. Mrs. Chadwick does
not appear as i'll as has been reported.

A main told us the other day
that we didn't publish all the
things that happened. We should
say we didn't. In the first place,
we have others to depend on us
for living. :. If I'VE published all
that happened there would soon
be another angel in heaven. In
order to. please the people, we
must print only the nice things
about them and leave the rest to
gossip, Yes. in fact. we don't
print all the news. If we did
wouldn't it be spicy reading?

WINFIELD LOUISIANA, MORNING. JANUARY Is, 1904
HOLIDAY TRADE
Was Better at Winnfield Than
Ever Before.

The merchants of Winfield.
and. In fact. everyone interested
In the growth of the town. can
mot not. help feeling good over the
immense trading which has been
done here during the past month,
Every merchant, no matter how
small his business, has done more
business during the past few
weeks than he ever did before.
More money has changed hands
here this season than at any other
one time in the history Of the
town. This shows in a way what
can be accomplished by the mer-
chants hustling for trade. It is
true cotton is q good price, But if
our merchants had not gone into
the market and handled cotton
this season, paying q better price
for it than other towns surround
ing us. we would not have en-
'joyed this great increase in trade.
Had our plerchants stood of
again this season like last, we
wonld have missed this big trade.
Every business has been busy
the past several weeks and is still
busy. Trade has been good in all
lines and always is, when & Reu-
bin comes to town." Let us cun-
'tinue to-get him to con4e here.
His trade is what keeps things
moving and we must keep him
coming to town. Here's to Reu-
bin. Sam and all the rest of the
farmers. May the boil weevil be
scarce about their cotton patches.

TRYING TO REDUCE
A PROSPECTIVE SURPLUS.
ne Police Jury. Endeavoring to Avoid Big Surplus in
the Parish Treaury, Decides to Waste Between
FIVE and Six Thousand Dollars.

can such work ever be worth s6,-
600 to the people of the parish?
The parish has sworn officer,
the Assessor. whose duty it is to
value our property and can we
not risk his judgement and hon.
esty? Does 1t require an expcnd-
iture of a large sum of money to
find out that we have So. .0OO, 900
worth of property when the
Assessor last year figured it
out nearly that much and
only received the small COM
mission allowed by law for the
work? Does the farmer want to
know what a tract of land on the
other side of the parish is worth?
then let him go to the tax roll
and there be will find it. Does
the sbeculator want to know how
much timber there is on II certain
tract of land? then let him do as
he has done in the past-send his
hired man out and estimate it at
his own expense. The people
are not ready to spend a lot of
money simply for decoration.
They need COO much money for
roads, bridges and schools. If
any of them want their land .ses-
timated' they wifi do it them
selves, but they look to taxing
authority for schools and bridges.
Can we afford to waste our money
on an "estimate?' And who
would the ssestimate" benefit?
To get down to brass tacks and
look at the matter as it appears
in the light of the past, it is the
merest bosh. The day Is at hand
when the iimbcred lands of the
country are worth a mint of
money and thousands of dollars
are paid annually in taxes on this
property. The owners are fight
ing to save as much as possible of
this money. Values on this prop
erty in Winn pasish have been
raised for taxing purposes. The
owners and our police jury COM
bjned and went into the courts in
an effort to have this value re-
duced, and were defeated. Now
tbe only fight left is to get the
bolice jury TO agree to and pro-
vide for an estimate for some
"friend,' and. as matter of
course, the estimate will be used
as a basis for reaching the taxable
value of this property. This is
the long and short, heighth and
depth of the whole proposition.
The Sentinel dislikes to take
issue on every question coming
before. the present police jury,
but wien it sees them take up
such a manifestly useless propo-
sition as the one under discussion
it must and will, at all times,
speak out in defense of the pub
lie treasury, and in this case we
can see nothing in the PROPOSE
tion but an effort to divest the
parish of a considerable portion
of its surplus fund. If there is
any man under the sun who can
see any reason or wisdom in
spending a lot of money In having
our land estimated" when We
must pay the Assessor for doing
the same work, then we would

soSsOON Ah w iuh paiiSu
and no decrease in the tax levied
yearly there is going to be a
surplus in the treasury and some
way must be provided to get lid
of this surplus. ALMOST every
considerable scheme has been
thought of to lower the surplus,
but none has been considered
practical until now. The police
jury hYs hit upon a novel plan to
get rid of a few hundred or thons-
ands of it, and that in short
order.
A proposition was made to
have an estimate made of the
value of the lands in the parish.
that is, the timber on the lands,
and this estimate sworn to and
filed, Gin the Office of the clerk of
court. -
just what is contemplated by
this is not made public. 1t seems.
however, to be the intention of
our parish law makers to find out
what the parish is worth. 1t is
not stated whether or not a sale
is contemplated and this estimate
necessary to reach correct con-
clusion as to value. But usually
when a land owner and a buyer
desire to make a trade they esti-
mate the timber on the land and
then fix q value.
This new job or Office the police
jury has provided will cost sever
al handful of cold dollars and for
the life of us The Sentinel can
not see where any value is to
come from it, except to the man
who gets the job. The state has
provided for an Assessor in each
parish apd requires him to esti-
mate the value of the lands, as
we'll as other property in his
parish and he is paid reasonable
compensation for the work. The
Assessor has done this work in
Winp parish for years and the
lazy still requires that he do it,
Eaad.pow, to employ some one else
to do the same work looks very
much like Legislation run to
seed.
OF what benfiet will such an
estimate bc?,, DO we care to know
the exact fumber of feet OF
timber, the number of trees,
bushes, stumps, briar-patches,
etc., on every acre of land in the
parish? If 80, of what benefit
will it be except as. n matter OF
general information? 1t will not
add one cent to the value of our
parish. It will not make pork
/
sell for any mores it will not re-
suit in better crops; it will do
none of us any Food; and besides
there is not room enough in the
clerks Office to store all the data.
Besides our timber is being cut
constantly and it will. require a
dozen or more mon continually
,at work trying to keep these rec
ords up TO date.
The Sentinel does not know
what It will cost to have this ses-
innate made, but VIC have been
told the work is WORTH $4,000.
Will some one please tel US how,

Cullman August -(special)-The business men of Cullman met at the court house last night and organized the Commercial club of Cullman. F. V.

The following gentlemen were appointed as a committee to call on the business men of Cullman who were not present at last nights meeting and secure their membership to the club. Forty-two members were enrolled last night and it is expected that practically every business and professional man in town will join in this good work at once and begin pushing uniformly for Gull mans prosperity.
 MT. Tilford, who is the prime mover in the undertaking, is one of the most en- ergetic men in the town and has been after several new enterprises for the town and has called on the people to help him pull for such things. MT. Tilfords work for the town has been well appreciated, and the people are joining in with him most heartily. Cullman has many advan- tages for the small manufacturer, and 1t Is believed that they can be secured by a concerted effort. The club i'll meet every Friday evening al s o'clock.
 F. V. Tilford and Hon. George H. Parker have just completed the organiza- ton of the Cullman Fertilizer and Ware house company, with a capital stock of $25, 900, and will greatly extend the busi- ness.

fLyceum Course for Hessemer.

A representative of the Rice Lyceum company of Nashville was in Bessemer today and signed a contract with mum Der of the leading business men to put on a number of attractions in this city during the coming season.
 The first attraction will appear about the first of October. and each month af- terward during the season the company will put on a lecture of entertainment. Among the attractions will be lecture by ex-Governor Bob" Taylor.
 A prominent citizen in speaking of the venture stated: 'I am sure that the new movement will be a success, as this IS the first season that Bessemer has had the privilege to witness the ciass or enter tainments that are to be put on by the Rice company. All the attractions will be high class and the price will be within reach of everyone.
 It is probable that a new hall will be procured in the city for the coming amusements.
