DIR. CHADWICK'S DENIAL.
PARIS. Dec. 12.-Dr. Leroy S.
Chadwick of Cleveland. whose wife.
Cassie L. Chadwick. is held a prison
er in New York. said to-day:
There is no truth in the report
that Mrs. Chadwick settled a large
sum on me. Do 1 look like a man Of
millions?" he added, calling attention
to his appearance. ANY one would
be able to see that I am not man
who had received millions from his
wife"
Asked whether Mrs. Chadwick is in
reality Lydia Devere, he answered:
The first time that 1 ever heard
the name Of Madame Devere In this
connection was when 1 saw 1t recent
ly in the papers. Only once before
had I ever heard the name Devere.
That was twenty-nine years ago. at a
post mortem examination at which
assisted, on a woman of that name,
who was said to have been a fortune
teller. L only recall this from a pc
culiar surgical feature which the post
mortem developed"
The doctor was shown a publication
stating that the Chadwick securities
embraced notes for several million
dollars signed or Endorsed with the
name Andrew Carnegie
Il do not know Andrew Carnegie
personally" replied the doctor.
Does your wife know Mr.. Car
negie?" the doctor was asked.
'I would rather not discuss Andrew
Carnegie" said DR.. Chadwick.

Contract for Railway Power.

The California Gas and Electric
Corporation, which recently contract
ed to supply the United Railroads
with electric power for the operation
Of the entire street railway system,
has let the contract for the generators
of the new plant to the Crocker-
Wheeler Company through their Pa
cific Coast manager, the Abner Doble
Company of this city. The machines,
three in number, will be of the Crock
er-Wheeler type and will have a ca
pacity of 1000 kilowatts each. They
will be directly connected to $500
horsepower gas engines. the largest in
the world used for such service. The
generators will deliver twenty-five cy-
Gle, three-phase alternating current,
and will feed into the railway system
through the present substations. This
contract marks an important step in
the electrical advance of the city,
both on account of the large size of
the generating units and because of
the prominent part which the big
transmission company evidently in
tends to play in the local power field.

SACRAMENTO. Dec. 12.-Governor
Pardee to-day appointed zoeth s..
Eldredge of San Francisco a Bank
Commissioner to succeed William H.
High, resigned.
z. S. Eldredge formerly held the po-
sition of Examiner Of National Banks
for this district and was regarded as
one of the most thorough and capable
men in this branch of the United
States service. In 1896 an order came
from the Comptroller of the Currency,
Washington, d. c., transferring him
TO another field. The story goes that
the transfer was made In order to make
a convenient and remunerative place
for a political favorite. Eldredge did
not fancy the territory to which he was
assigned and expressed his dissent by
offering his resignation, which was ac-
cepted.
He rated in banking circles as an
alert, resolute man, who is familiar
with the banking business. He does
not accept the assurances Of a man
ager or cashier that everything about
an institution is all right, but insists
on making a personal investigation Of
liabilities. reserves and securities. His
style of going directly and immediate
ly to the work assigned to him does
not always commend him to the good
graces of bank managers, but deposit
tors are inclined to applaud his meth

Herman Silver of Los Angeles, presi-
dent of the Bank Commissioners, is in
San Francisco on official business. He
came here early last week.

STANFORD DOES NOT WANT
FRESHMEN TO DEBATE
Societies Decide That First Year Men
Have Not Had Sufficient
Training

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. IL.
At a meeting of the debating societies
this afternoon it was decided that
Stanford would not accept the chal-
Ienge of California to an intercollegiate
freshman debate. This decision was
made in view of the fact that so little
interest was taken by the first year
men in debating.
The general opinion is that to es-
tablish an intercollegiate freshman
debate would have bad effect. as the
men would not have sufficient train
ing to make the contest worth while.

There is one. 1t Is little banking

came to mel think it was in 1904

able at the Prudential Trust Company.
If I would let her have the money she
would put up United States Steel bonds
in the morning as collateral. 1 con-
suited my company and with their con-
sent loaned her the money. The next
day she brought a package which she
said contained 5000, 900 in United States
Steel bonds and a $3.50, 900 certificate
