MRS. CHADWICK
BEFORE REFEREE
Was Excused From Testifying Be-
cause of Illness.
TWO MORE BANKS CLOSE

Cleveland, O., Dec 21.-Mrs. Cassie
l.. Chadwick was brought into the
bankruptcy court here in the bank
ruptcy proceedings against her. but
was excused from testifying because OF
Illness. Whether Mrs. Chadwick will
again be summoned will depend on
counsel for Receiver Nathan Loeser,
whose attorneys are expected to take
up the matter. Should Mrs. Chadwick
again be brought into court, it is I'M
likely that she will give any testi-
mony If she does it will be against the
advice of her attorney, who refuses
even to allow her to be sworn as
witness.
When the court was ready to proceed,
]. p. Dawley. attorney for Mrs. Chad
wick. made the announcement that he
would not allow her to be sworn, but
had decided to have her come to court
that it could not be said she was
shamming illness. although he knew
her TO be in no condition to be sum-
moned.
81 have not been able to carry on a
connected conversation with this wom-
an. owing to her condition" said Mr..
Dawley. Il am as much in the dark
about her affairs as any one"
Touching on the possibility Of con-
tempt proceedings growing out of the
bankruptcy case, Attorney Dawley
said:
You can send her back to Jail If she
is in contempt for not testifying. At
night she can sleep in one cell and
stay in another during the day"
Mrs. Chadwick became more nerv-
GUS as the attorneys argued and SEEM
ed on the verge of fainting. Soon after
the announcement was made that she
was excused she returned to the Jail in
q carriage.

Two More Banks Close.

Conneaut. O.. Dec 21.-The First
National Bank of Conneaut and the
Marine Bank of Conneaut Harbor did
not open their doors for business. The
suspension resulted from runs on both
concerns during the past few days.
Officials claim the concerns are entirely
solvent and declare that business will
be resumed again in a short time.
Cas- n Lilley made the following
statement on behalf of the First Ma
tional Bank:
Ever since the exposure of the
Chadwick matter our depositors have
been withdrawing their funds. We do
not hold any Chadwick paper, but
there was a general feeling of unrest.
The money has been taken out grad
ually. but on Saturday $4,000 was

BUSINESS BOOM IN PlTTssURe
Industrial Concerns Will Give Work to
Thousands of Unemployed.

Pittsburg. Pa, Dec 22.-Oficials of
many industrial concerns in and
about Pittsburg are searching for men
whom they wish to put to work in
their plants. The bright prospects for
an increased amount of business after
the first of next year are responsible
for this move, and thousands of I'M
employed in the city and suburban
towns will be given steady work after
January l. For the month of Decem-
Der business in Pittsburg has in
creased materially in almost every
line.
improvements have been made in
nearly every industrial concern in the
city during the last few months. and
the improvements have not all been
completed. The starting up of many
new works will also give employment
to thousands of idle men. One great
difficulty already beginning to stare
local business men in the face is car
shortage, which bids fair to outrival
the famous car shortage of 1901 and

New York. Dec. 22.-Breaking five
great cables as if they had been only
threads, the 100-ton floating derrick
Hercules. moored to the side of the
new battleship Connecticut broke
adrift in the navy yard basin in Wal
labout bay. and crashed into the stern
of the battleship Texas. smashing sew
eral plates and so injuring the war
vessel that she will have to go into
the dry dock
In the basin when a fierce squall
swept over it were the Texas. Illinois,
Kentucky. Tacoma and Minneapolis.
The Hercules was securely tied to the
Connecticut and was landing great
armor plates on the decks. The strain
caused by the heavy wind caused the
cables to break. and the derrick
started up the bay towards the war
ships.
Two tugs. the Narkeeta and Pen
tucket. were hastily dispatched to
catch the fleeing derrick. which was
making directly for the Tacoma and
Minneapolis. moored close together.
The Pentucket caught the Hercules
when almost upon the warshipS and
made fast TO her Before the derrick
could be controlled ii swung around
and struck the Texas squarely in the

WANTS SECOND GIBRALTAR.
England Said to Be Negotiating With
Porte for Site for Fortress.

st. Petersburg, Dec. S.-According
to a story current in high circles here,
Russia's effort some time ago to nego-
tiate the purchase OF sevven Argen-
tine and Chilean warships have had
a curious sequel. The two South
American countries declined to sell
the vessels direct to Russia, fearing
the possibility of being held liable to
pay Japan heavy damages, as Great
Britain was in the Alabama case. a.
that time the question of selling to a
third party Us an intermediary was
discussed, and the policy of Turkey
playing the role was suggested. But
Argentina and Chile steadily de-
clined to entertain any proposition
without a guarantee against future
liability.
According to the story Russian then
abandoned the project, whereupon
Great Britain stepped in, offering to
advance the money to Turkey to buy
the ships in return for certain conces.
| sions which would permit Great Brit
ain to erect a second Gibraltar on the
coast of Yemen, opposite Perrin is.
land, which would give Great Britain
control of the lower entrance to the
Red Sea. Negotiations between Great
Britain and Turkey along these lines
are said to be now progressing. It is
added that Russia is so much alarmed
over the report that an emissary has
been dispatched to Constantinople te
investigate and block the game.

APPLIES TO CARBON COUNTY
| Trailing or Driving Sheep Into or Out

Because of the prevalence OF Scab-
les in a certain portion of Carbon
county and the likelihood arising
therefrom or causing a spread of the
disease, Governor Toole has issued n
proclamation ordering quarantine OF
the infected territory. In consequence
the trailing, moving or transportation
of sheep into or out OF the quarantined
area is prohibited, except upon the
order of the state veterinarian, Doc
tor M. 3. Knowles.
After referring to the legislative act
under which the proclamation is issued
and describing the duties it imposes
upon him, Governor Toole continues
as follows:
Whereas, l have reason to believe
that conditions exist in the below de-
scribed locality in Carbon county,
state of Montana, which render sheep
therein likely to convey the disease
known as 'scab, I therefore, in accord
with the authority invested in me,
hereby order the quarantine of the be-
low described locality in Carbon
county. state of Montana, and pro-
hibit the trailing, moving or transport

fauI Of Bail.
New York, Dec. S.-Mrs. Cassie L..
Chadwick is tonight occupying one OF
the scantily furnished cells in the
Tombs. After a fruitless search all day
for bail, her attorneys gave up the
fight tonight and Philip Carpenter, her
chief counsel, stood in the corridor OF
the federal building at 9 O'Clock when
United States Marshal Henkel threw
open the double doors OF his Office and
led the m out on her way to
prison.
Mrs. Chadwick was wan, tired and
almost fainting. she made her way
across the hall to the elevator, lean
ing heavily on the marshals arm and
that of her son, Emil. Behind them
came her nurse, Freda Swenson, and
Deputy Marshal Kennedy. The party
passed through a double row of curl
GUS people to a cab which was in
waiting on the Broadway side. They
were driven directly to the Tombs.
Arriving there, Mrs. Chadwick was
half carried up the steps and into the
building. Warden Flynn met the party
and after the usual preliminaries had
been attended to the woman asked per-
mission to have her nurse remain with
her. This was uenied, the warden say
ing that she should have no privileges
not allowed to other prisoners.
Mrs. Chadwick gave a handbag and
a few trinkets to the nurse and whis-
| pered some instructions to her son
! She was then taken to the matron's
room. She asked to say good night to
her son and the lad eagerly rushed to
his mother, and, wrapping his arms
about her, gave her a long embrace.
Then she was led away to the inner
office, where her pedigree was taken
and she was assigned to a cell.
