New York, Dec. IA subpoena was
home in this city to-day. calling upon
him to go to Cleveland, O., on We'd

was issued by Judge Francis ]. Wing
of the United States District Court of
the Northern district of Ohio and was
accepted willingly by Mr.. Carnegie. /.
Mr.. Carnegie was annoyed, however,
when he discovered that the summons
required him to make the trip to
Cleveland.

it required his presence in Cleveland.

1t was said at the residence of An
drew Carnegie tonight that he would
be unable to go to Cleveland to testi-
fly in the Chadwick case owing to ILL
ness. Mr.. Carnegie is indisposed with
an attack of lumbago, and his physi-
clan is of the opinion that it would
not be advisable for Mr.. Carnegie to
take the trip.
One of MIR. Carnegie's secretaries
said tonight that satisfactory ar

New York, Dec. 12.-Beginning with
heavy declines in Amalgamated Copper
to-days stock market was weak
throughout the entire session, the oc-
casional rallies failing to hold prices
for more than a few minutes at a
time.
Although values crumbled away
rapidly there was little excitement in
the street. Brokers seemed to have
nothing but selling orders, they said,
and did not look beyond that fact, the
recent reckless speculation and the
campaign by newspaper advertisement
against copper stock to find reasons
for the drop in prices Money was easy

lateral was scrutinized very carefully.
The market closed weak, with prices
generally at the lowest More than
100000 shares of stocks changed
hands during the day
The selling wave continued nearly ali
the forenoon with only a temporary
reaction and about noon the market
showed further weakness. An impress
sive feature of the forenoon was the
heavy selling by London houses. The
sales of London houses were the larg-
est In the steel stocks. There was
evidently a good supply of stop loss
orders on hand, but the shorts did not
fare much worse than some others.
The violence of the opening declines
was so great and so pronounced THAT
many brokers and traders on the floor
We're overwhelmed with surprise, and
for little while were quiet nonplussed.
Any market support that may have ex-

One of the most sensational breaks
was In Greene Consolidated Copper on

AS WHITECAPPERS
MEN ARE INDICTED.

Prominent Citizens of Lincoln
County, Miss, Under Charges.
jackson, Miss, Dec. IA profound
sensation has been created by the in
dlctment of Hon. IL. r. Montgomery,
member of the Legislature and j. c.
Bryant and !. b. Willis, members of
the board of county supervisors of Lin
coin county. on the charge of white
Gaping.
1t was known that prominent citizens
would be involved in the lawless out
RACES after the employment of detec-
tives by the Governor. but 1t was not
supposed that county officials would
be found mixed up In the whitecap-
ping business.
The Lincoln County Court cannot
possibly dispose or all the cases at this
term OF the court. as more than 400
Indictments have been found, and
among those are a number of the
wealthiest citizens of the county.
Detective Hoyt has worked up the
case for the Governor. He has per-
formed the unusual feat of securing
copy of the oath taken by the white
cappers, which Is as follows:
Il do solemnly swear TO keep and
never reveal any Of the secrets OF this
organization, and do solemnly swear
that l will live and abide by any Of its
rules as they now are or as they may
hereafter be revised that If ever called
upon to sit upon any grand jury or

groes to vacate any and all property

any and all obnoxious negroes out of
the way. I fully understand that death
shall be the penalty to any and all
members revealing any of the secrets

WILL NOT SHARE
WITH THE NEGRO.
Vardaman Says Whites Will HOLD
the Sovereignty.


jackson, Miss, Dec. 12.-Gov. Yard
aman to-day made the opening speech
at the Cotton and Corn Carnival, and
after welcoming the visitors, branched
off into politics and made a very SEN
sational utterance. In touching on the
attitude that Southern representatives
should assume in their fight against
the reduction of Southern representa-
tion the Governor said
And instead of going to the Con-
gress of the United States and saying
that there is no distinction made in
Mississippi because of color or pre-
vious condition of servitude tell the
truth and say this:
1--WE tried for many years to live
in Mississippi and share sovereignty
and dominion with the negro, and we
saw our institutions crumbling, we
saw the public funds squandered, we
saw the civilization that our forefath-
ers had fought for passing away, and
the law of self-preservation being the
first law, we observed it, we rose in
the majesty and highest type of An
glo-Saxon manhood and took the reins
of government out of the hands of the
carpet bagger, and negro, and so help
us God. from now on we will never
share any sovereignty or dominion with
him again."
The remarks of the Governor have
created a sensation. They are diamet-
rically opposed to the views of the mi
nority leader, Congressman John Sharp
Williams of this district.

Washington, Dec. 12.--A member Of
the River and Harbor Committee said
to-day that thus FAR but little progress
has been made In behalf OF many Of
the new projects contemplated in the
proposed bill. 1t seems that Speaker
Cannon has called upon the committee
to pare the appropriation down to the
lowest notch. and In dealing with the
river and harbor bill, he advises that
all or nearly all of the projects for
improvements be kept out Of the bill.
Members OF the committee assert
that the Speaker is unreasonable. and
also impracticable In his advice Some
or the new projects are absolutely nee
essary and cannot be deferred without
serious. injury to commerce. In some
instances important harbors, like Sa-
vannah, have been successfully MAIN
tained under the continuing contract
system. These contracts have been
completed, and new projects are pro-
posed In the pending bill which should
not be delayed.

New York, Dec. ia headless hu-

NEWS OF INDICTMENTS.

1t Is Believed She Wants to Return
to Cleveland.
New York, Dec. 12--Mrs. Cassie L..
Chadwick was overwhelmed by the
developments of her case in Cleve-
land to-day. and the statement was
made by one close to her that she
probably would give up the fight here
and return to Cleveland tomorrow
night in the custody of United States
officers. She did not anticipate the
double indictment which was found
against her by the Cuyahoga county
grand jury after the failure of the
Lorain county grand jury to find prob
able cause of action.
Mrs. Chadwick is of the opinion that
if she must face the charges, she will
be far better off in her home city of
Cleveland than in New York. 1t is
known that her counsel have strongly
advised against this course of proce-
dure, but Mrs. Chadwick insists that
she be given free rein.
An important move in the Chadwick
case to-day was a hurried conference
of her counsel with Lawyer George
Ryall, representing Banker Herbert
D. Newton of Brookline, Mass. and
Mrs. Chadwick at the tombs. Mrs.
Chadwick had previously received
what was believed to be a cablegram
from her husband in Europe. At the
conclusion of the conference, Mr.. Ryall'
said he again had hopes that Mr..
Newton's claim would be paid.
Mrs. Chadwick appears to be enjoy
ing the best of health now and says
she will be in good condition to meet
the legal complications in Cleveland.

CHADWICK SEEMS

DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A MAN
WHOSE WIFE HAD SETTLED MIL

Paris, Dec. 12.-Dr. Leroy S. Chad
wick of Cleveland, Ohio, whose wife,
Cassie l.. Chadwick, is held prisoner
in New York, charged with frauds OF
a financial nature, has been living here
quietly for some time. occupying quar-
ters in hotel in the center of Paris,
but owing to the notoriety of his wife's
affairs. he has observed the greatest
seclusion.
Dr. Chadwick is somewhat beyond

iterates his desire to avoid attract

his daughter, prepossessing girl of

him. The Associated Press cores

''DO Look Like It"
There is no truth in the report that
Mrs. Chadwick settled large sum
on me. Do / look like a man of mill
lions?" DR.. Chadwick called attention
to his appearance as he uttered his
remark, saying: ANY one would be
able to see that l am not a man who
had received millions from his wife,"
Asked concerning reports that Mrs.
Chadwick is in reality Lydia DeVere,
he answered; "The first time that ever
] heard the name of Madame Devere
in this connection was when / saw il
recently in the papers,"
Questioned upon the financial aspects
of his wife's affairs, DR.. Chadwick re-
piled:
''The financial matters In the case do
not affect me in the slightest. They
speak of bonds being found. / would

papers look like"
Does your wife know Mr.. Car

In the course of a later interview
with the Associated Press, DR.. Chad
wick said he must refuse to believe
that Iri Reynolds could have said that

tor with Mrs. Chadwick. and that he
was present when Reynolds gave Mrs.

AGAINST WESTERN UNION
Wns the Courts Decision in the
Penn. r.. II. Case.


Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Supreme
Court of the United States to-day de-
cided the case of the Western Union
Telegraph Company VS.. the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, involving
the right of the railroad company to
remove the telegraph company's poles
from its right of way. in favor of the
railroad company.
The opinion was handed down by
Justice McKenna. In the decision the
court held that the congressional act
of 1866, which controlled in the case,
does not grant eminent domain to tele-
graph companies over the private
property of railroad companies
Justice McKenna's decision followed
precedent of the Pensacola and other
cases decided many years ago by the
Supreme Court He refused to adopt
argument of the telegraph company's
counsel tending to the conclusion that
railroad right of way is public prop
erty. ut has always been recognized"
continues the opinion. that a railroad
right of way is so far private prop
erty as to be entitled to that provi-
sion of the constitution which forbids
its taking, except under the power of
eminent domain and upon payment of
compensation. The right of way of
a railroad was recognized as private
property in the Pensacola case"
Justice Harlan delivered a dissent
ing opinion, holding that the act of
1866 gives to telegraph companies the
unequivocal right to construct and
operate lines not only upon the pub
lie domain, but along any post road
of the United States. and he contended
that if to-day's decision was to stand
the United States government could
not itself enter upon the rights of way
of railroad companies.
The Supreme Court also decided the
case of the Western Union Telegraph
Company VS.. the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company involving the right of
the telegraph company to condemn
part of the railroads right of way in
Western Pennsylvania and appropriate
it for its lines, in opposition to the
telegraph companys contentious.
This is a second case in the con-
troversy between these companies.
This case was decided against the
telegraph company, the court denying
the contention of counsel for the West
ern Union that it had the right to
maintain it's lines over the railroad
company's right of way upon making
compensation, so long as such use did
not interfere with travel on the rail-
road,
