MRS. cHADWICK's CREDITORS
Dupes of Willy Woman to Get Little
 Money.

Cleveland, Dec. 11.-According to the most accurate estimate of the es- tate of Mrs. Chadwick, that is possi- ble before the receiver investigated her assets and reported his findings to the court, her creditors as whole will receive about one-half mil lion dollars.
 It I-nds additional interest to this showing from the creditors standpoint, Is that one man. Fri Reynolds, will receive the whole of the assets visi- ble at the present time. There may be funds in reserve somewhere as there may be additional creditors who have not yet announced that Mrs. Chadwick. Is indebted to them, but 1t is not expected by bankers and at- torneys of this city. who have the greatest knowledge of her affairs that any more large sums will bo devel- oped.
 The extent of her operations is now alleged to be approximately as fol- lows:
 Security from Citizens National Bank of Oberlin and various sources in and about Lorain County. Ohio. s50O,oOo.
 Borrowed from Herbert E. Newton, s1so,ooo.
 Pittsburg. $500,0o0.
 Total S1,190,00o.
 Against this stands security of known value on one note amounting to s1,s00, whic is held by Iri Key holds.
 The amount of the money received by Mrs. Chadwick in Pittsburg. may run as high as sSoO.0oo. but 1t is be- lieved that a portion of this sum is bonus promised by her for an origi- nal loan of at least $500.o00. Her creditor there figures that she Is indebted to him for the larger amount than that which she had said she owes, $5O0.00o. If her debt in this direction is SS0o.oo the probable div idend in sight of the credit0-s is about one and one-fifth mills on the dollar It is not believed by any of the attorneys in the case that the Carnegie securities will be of any &C., cout whatever.
 The case of Mrs. Chadwick will be brought before the grand jury of Cayahauga County. The investigation will extend only to the alleged forger- ies of the Carnegie notes and a re- port from the jury is expected not later than Tuesday.
 It is the option of some of the large attorneys of Cleveland that a charge of forgery cannot be made to hold in connection with these notes. They de-

Within twenty minutes after the vessel stranded she was 60 full of water that the crew. consisting of Captain Boyce and six men, were forced to take to the rigging where they remained until 2 p. m. today, when six of the seven men were rescued by crews of Pea Island.

One man, Henry Edwards. was frozen to death and was last holding to the rigging in such a manner that he could not be reached and the body is still aboard the ship hanging to the rigging head down.
 The rescued crew are now at the Pea Island life saving station. Great dif- hculty was experienced in landing the crew owing to the fact that the ves- sel had sunk and heavy sea was run ming at the time. The freezing wealth CT hampered work of rescue and the same now is overcome by exposure that only two of the men in the rig ging were able to assist in hauling the whip line aboard the weasel. Again and again the line was shut out and one by one the men were taken in off the ship into the boats of the life savers. The rescue was made af- ter a most narrowing experience of more than thirteen hours spent in the rigging of the sinking vessel in a temperature much below freezing. Their clothing was coated with ice. An attempt will be made later to bring ashore the body of Edwards. the sail or who was frozen to death in the rig ging.
 The vessel will be total loss. It Is understood that the Montana is owned in Summers Point, N. J.

WEEVIL CONVENTION
DELEGATES ARRIVE TO DISCUSS
 COTTON PEST.
An Alabamian Advocates PrOpoEation of Insect to Reduce Cotton Crop and Raise Price of the
 Staple.

Shreveport, La, Dec. 11.-Delegates are arriving here in large numbers to attend the national boil weevil conven- tion, which meets in the opera house tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
 The convention has been called for the purpose of gaining full particulars of the boil weevil In all of its many phases. and. If possible, to devise a practical plan of exterminating the cotton pest.
 Reports from many districts in Tex as and Louisiana indicate ravages of the weevil are spreading to large areas. and it is the belief of many well-known cotton authorities that In order to pro- tect- the cotton farmer from seriously growing menace, immediate remedies should be taken.
 1. The delegates who are now on the ground are in favor of additional ap- propriation by Congress to be placed under the direction of the Department of Agriculture for the sole purpose of carrying on a campaign of extermina- tion against the South American in sects in a manner to be prescribed by Secretary Wilson. Others will advo- cate a rigid quarantine, advising that the planting of cotton in the infected area should be abandoned for a num- ber of successive years, and that the farmers in these districts should plant their soil in other crops that do not attract the insect In this manner. it is held, the weevil can be exterminated by starvation. pr. Lovett. President of the Central Alabama Agricultural College at Blountsville, is here to cham pion this movement.
 An Alabama delegate Is quoted as taking a unique view of the situation. It is said he will introduce a preamble reciting the cause which led to the present depreciated price of cotton as compared with the same period last year, and defy the farmers to reduce their cotton acreage. and he will offer a resolution favoring some method to produce an abundant propagation of the weevils. claiming that If one-third of the usual annual cotton crop is de- stroyed by this means, the farmer would be benefited by the resultant high price which his product would command
 The convention will be called to or der Monday afternoon by Hon. J. c. Pugh, chairman of the local Executive

woman could bo, S& such large sum of money she U have had some con- stitutional E fities. It must be borne in mind that the first alleged Carnegie note. which plays the most prominent part of her finances is now, four years old. while 1t was over three years ago that two and one-half mil lions of dollars were said to have been settled on pr. Chadwick. As it would have been impossible in so short time to negotiate such a large loan on the strength of that note, 1t is highly i'm probable that she did give her husband that amount of money.
 T believe 1t most likely that any attempt that will be made to bring Dr. Chadwick, on any such charges. Those who know best believe that every cent he has. he acquired 1t honestly"
 Mrs. Chadwick passed quiet day in the Tombs. No visitors are allowed to see federal prisoners on Sunday and no exception was made in Mrs. Chad wick's case.
 The prison physician found Mrs. Chadwick in excellent health today.

 A GREAT SENSATION

clare that 1t is not an act of forgery for one person to write the name of an- other, but that the offense lies in the attempt to negotiate such a signature for a specific value. This, they say there Is so far no evidence that Mrs. Chadwick has done. She has not sold or attempted to sell the notes for cash. She has not said that she would be glad to obtain money in exchange for them.
 She has obtained money from various sources on the statement of Fri Rev. holds that she, to the best of her knowledge and belief. held securities of a certain value. There can be no. doubt that Mir. Reynolds believed what she said. There ha. been, according to the attorneys. no evidence so far intro- duoed showing that Mrs. Chadwick ob- tained money on these notes in any other manner than through the attest ation of Fri Reynolds that he had seen the notes and considered them good. If any man loaned money to Mrs. Chadwick, according to the strength of his belief in the ability of MT. Rey- holds to judge accurately of the value of securities. then the affair. according to the attorneys who hold this view of the case, is one that rests between that man and his own hard luck.

GATHERING FLEET.


J0De Now Locating Whereabouts Of
 Destroyer Crafts. Tokio, Dec. 11.--(6 D. m)-The Jap anese continue to batter the Port Ar thur fleet and there Is little ground for expecting that 1t will ever again engage the Japanese. The batticship Sevastopol continues at anchor outside but possibly returns to the harbor at night and anchors inside the outer boom, which protects her from torpedo bombs. The recent heavy weather has given added protection to the vessel.
 Naval experts are discarding the the- ory that the Russians themselves sank any of the ships. The fact that the vessels first showed lists while in ex- posed positions and the efforts made to save the .Sevastapol are regarded as conclusive evidence against the theory of their being sunk by the Russians. A majority of the sunken warships lie headed northward. They received the bulk of the fire across their port sides and the fact that at least two of them showed lists to starboard gives rise to the theory that Japanese shells explod- ed inside the ships and against the starboard armor. driving the armor outward and causing leaks. |.
 To make sure of the destruction of the Russian warships the Japanese con- tinue to drop shells into the sunken hulks. The whereabouts of the tor pedo boat destroyers continues doubt full, but 1t is thought they are shelter ing outside the harbor. The weather prevents good observation being made. but the Japanese are sending a searching fire into hooks which are not observable from 203 Metre Hill and other heights. ss
 The observers report a number of
 
 chored near the hospital ships in the west harbor where they evidently have gone for the purpose of obtaining pro- lection. It is suggested that the be- seigers notify General soessel to sep arate these vessels from the hospital ships or take the conseduences.
 The Japanese are using care to avoid hitting the hospital ships which fre- quently are in the direct line of fire.

Brussels, Dec 11.-Dr. LeRoy g.. Chadwick, of Cleveland. Ohio. husband of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, who Is under arrest in New York, Is not at any of the large hotels here and the foreigners bureau has no knowledge of his whereabouts.
 Inquiries by the Associated Press show that Dr. Chadwick. on four ocea- sions during the past two years stop ped at the Hotel Metropole under his own name. He was always accom- panied by his wife. During his last visit, which was in the spring of this year he was taken i'll and for four months was under treatment in a hos pital. His wife left Brussels without him.
 Dr. Chadwick has not been seen at the Hotel Metropoie since that time, but many letters from the United States and from France are awaiting him there.
