THE CHADWICK CASE.

It is asserted that James w. Friend,
vice president of the Pressed Steel Car
Company, is the Pittsburger who aided
Cassie L. Chadwick, the queen Of con-
6dence swinders, to float loan of either
$500, 900 or $500, 900 in that city. Mr..
Friend withholds his statement on the
subject. Another Pittsburg millionaire
associate of Andrew Carnegie is also
rumored to have been caught for a large
sum.
Iri Reynolds, as witness. yesterday
in the Chadwick bankruptcy proceeding,
swore to his assertion that Mrs. Chad
wick claimed to be the illegitimate
daughter of Andrew Carne lie, and told
a story of financial transactions as amaz-
ing as the Beckwith confession.
Dr. Chadwick, in an interview given
out in Paris, denounced as false lri Rey-
nold's statement that he a companied
his wife when she deposited the package
and told the story Of her alleged Height
mate birth.
Mrs. Chadwick Was yesterday lndictef
BY the Cuyahoga county grand jury at
Cleveland on two charges, based on the
forged Carnegie notes, each alleging
forgery and uttering forged paper. The
Cleveland authorities will balk any at
tempt by the woman togsin her freedom
under bail.
Mrs. Chadwick will today decide
whether to waive examination in New
York and 90 back to Cleveland or re-
main in New York and fight extradition.

THE FOLLOWING from the New York
Tribune, the highest of republican news
paper authorities, will have tendency
to lessen the uneaSiness Of those who fear
a reduction of the South's representa-
tioa in Congress:
With thirty-three democratic Senators
in the upper chamber, and all of them
ablebodied takers, the House members
who are proposing bills to limit repre-
senta'ion may as we'll forego their troub-
lie. uHless their object be the develop
ment of sentiment rather than the pass
age OF law. The Senate's privilege of
unlimited debate effectuslly bars the
passage of any measure against which
there is even a less formidable opposi-
ton than would be the case in regard to
the measure referred to.

TUESDAY EVENING. DEC. IS. 1904.

REv. DIR. SAMUEL L. CARTER, one OF
the three Presbyterian clergymen who
started the movement which led to thu
revision OF the Presbyterian creed IL
America. was upheld By the Nassau
county Presbytery yesterday, at a meet
inc in Jamaica, L. l., after be had APP
neared in defense of letter he wrote
against the Westminster Confession, in
ybich he declared that scholastic the
ol,ry is wrong from its base upwards.
DIR. Carter in his defense said
The great objection to the Comics
sion j. not this statement IN 1t or
tl,a but II is tue whole tone
and style of the Confession. II"
nut the mater in word, 1t is the
ed Of the minister Confession that
is wrong. Every minister and elder,
upon entering his office, must sun
accent the Westminster Confession as
beiuc the system of doctrine taught IN
Scriptures. and every scofer can still
east no this system against the Presby'
terian Church. am convinced there
can be no rest, nor peace till this system
is as fully abandoned by the church az
il ia by the brief statement. 1t CALVIN
we're living today, he would be chairman
Of the revision committee. There Is no
such God as the God Of the Westminster
Confession. There is no such world as
the world of the confession. There Is
no such eternity as the eternity of the
confession. 1t is all rash, exaggerated
and bitterly untrue. If no one else Is
ready to say it, say it The hard, cold
severe God of the Confession, with the
love lett ont, is not our God.
Creeds, like the constitution and Dec
laration of Independence, are not honor
ed in this day and generation.
