LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.


Congress adjourned Wednesday until
January, 4, 1905.
The session of the Senate lasted only
four minutes. The attendance was
small and no business except the receipt
of number of nominations from the
President was attempted.
The House was in session little
more than halt an hour The time was
occupied chiefly in discussion of the
Senate's resolution granting to the in
augural committee permission to use
certain public Buildings and reserva-
tiors, Including the use of the Pension
Building Tor the inaugural ball
Mr.. Morrell explained that the reso-
luton was exactly as it came from that
body, and said that after consultation
with the members of the District of
Columbia Committee, and in view of the
very evident desire of the House that
the inaugural ball shall be held in the
Pension Building, it had been decided
to accept the Senate's resolution in its
entirety.
Mr.. Williams (Miss.), offered an
amendment requiring the inaugural COM
mittee to. give bond to insure the repairs
of all damage done to public reserva-
tons and buildings.
Mr.. Underwood (A1a.) opposed con-
sideration OF the resolution at this time,
when, he said, quorum of the House
was not present, and called attention to
the promise made four years ago that
the people Of Washington would con-
struct a place for holding inaugural
balls
Asked by Mr.. Mann (Ill.) why the
committee had switched" first from
the Congressional Library, then to the
Capitol and now to the Pension Build
ing, Mr.. Morrell repeated his statement
that it was because of the evident dis
position of the House to hold the in
augural ball in the Pension Building
The resolution was criticised by Mr..
Mann because he said it permitted the
charging of excessive prices for cabs
and carriages, and he thought there
should be quorum present to consider
that and other features of the bill. He
objected to motion for unanimous con Z
sent to take the resolution up and it
accordingly goes over until after the
holidays.
The House then, at IL 80 o'clock, adj
journed until January 4, 1905.

A POINT FOR CHADWICK
Gov. OfeIl's Clerk Refuses Requisition
for the Doctor.
TO Be ARRESTED ON LANDING.
Cleveland Sheriff. Awaits the Accused Man.
Who Is Expected This Week Papers Failed
to Show That Or. Chadwick vas In the
State Of Ohio on March S, 1908, When the
Forgery Was Alleged.

Albany, N. Y. Especial. Sheriff
Barry, Of Cleveland, Ohio, who expects
to arrest DR. Leroy S. Chadwick, hus-
band of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, when
he lands in New York on the charge of
forging the name of Andrew Carnegie,
met check in his plans when he failed
TO obtain from Governor Odell the
requisition papers necessary to permit
the transportation of DR.. Chadwick to
Ohio for trial He called at the execu-
tive chamber in the Capitol, but was
informed by Judge John T. Joyce, the
Governors pardon and requisition clerk,
that his papers were defective in that
they failed to show that DR.. Chadwick
was in the State OF Ohio on March S,
1903, when the forgery was alleged to
have been committed.
Sheriff Barry decided not TO try to
correct his papers now, but to go on to
New York and arrest DR. Chadwick
and arrange for his requisition after
ward
Before leaving for New York on Sun
day the Cleveland Sheriff telegraphed
to the executive department here asking
that his papers be prepared so that there
might be no delay on his arrival. When
the telegram was received Governor
Odell was at his home in Newburg and
the message was given to his pardon
clerk. Judge Joyce phoned the Govern
to deliver the desired warrant in case
the applicants papers were properly
drawn up
When the Sheriff learned that his
proof was defective there was at first
some talk of his returning in person to
Ohio for the purpose of getting the
corrections. After further consultation
he concluded to telegraph to have the
necessary af1davits prepared and sent
to him in New York. He said that this
was purely formal matter, and that at
fidavits could be promptly obtained
showing that DR.. Chadwick was in
Ohio on or about March S, 1908.
New York Especial Sheriff Barry,
of Cleveland, reached New York from
Albany, where he will remain until the
arrival of he steamship Pretoria, which
is bringing DR. Leroy S. Chadwick, Of
Cleveland, and his daughter, Miss Mary
Chadwick.
Mr.. Barry was not at all disconnected
over his inability to obtain the requisi-
ton papers from Governor Odell, which
would permit him TO take DIR. Chadwick
TO Ohio. The Sheriff said:
Mr. Keller has already forwarded
to me an affidavit giving the testimony
before the grand jury tending to show
that Dr. Chadwick was in Cuyahoga
county, Ohio, on March 5, 1908, upon
which date the alleged crime was COM
mitted
Il am here on a sad GRAND, for
have known DIR. Chadwick many years
and our relations have been OF the pleas
ATTEST nature shan do everything in
my power TO make his trying situation
as easy as possible. ] am especially So
licitous that Miss Chadwick shall be
spared any humiliation"

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD LIN
consequence of single passage in Pres
ident Roosevelt's annual message to
Congress, a movement has been start
ed in the District of Columbia which
may result in the establishment of the
whipping post for wifebeaters. In his
message the President said:
THE wifebeater is inadeqvaeely pun

ment may often mean nsfhing to him,
while it may cause hunger and want to
the wife and children who have been
the victims of his brutality. Probably
some form of corporal punishment
would be the most adequate way of
meeting this kind of crime"

Strong sentiment in favor of setting up
the whipping post in the capital of the
nation Right Rev. Henry Y. Satter-
lee, Bishop of Washington, said:
Il would treat the brute who beats
his wife as if he were bad boy-whip
him. Spare the rod and spoil the
child is the motto By whipping only,
il believe, can this form of crime be
reached effectively"
Rev. John NJ. Schick, pastor of the
Presidents church, said;
Il believe that the whipping post is
a wholesome and easy solution of the
problem presented by the brute who 50
far forgets his obligation to defend and
love his wife as to strike her in her
weakness, as he would never dare to do
if she were strong enough TO defend her

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The annual
horse show and carnival of clothes
is in full swing at Madison Square
garden High priced steeds prance
in the tanbark arena and million
dollar beauties pose in the boxes.
The hoi polloi, at 81 a head,
crowd the wide promenade between
the arena and row of boxes. These
dollar boys, the proleteriat, lean
gracefully with their backs against
the arena rail and gaze with awe at
the lady relatives of the owners of
all the money in the country. They
behold. "all for the one price of ad-
mission" those wonderful people
have filled the columns Of newspapers
In real flesh and blood they see
the gentleman who invented the mon
key dinner.
There, arrayed in clothes as ex-
pensive as single human being
could wear, they see the hostess Of
the grandest dog party Of last sum-
mer.
The equestrians and trennes who
do the cross-country hunting on Long
Island, when farmers do not shoe
them into the roads with pitchforks,
are present in full force.
AS one of the historical newspaper
worshipers Of the 400 says, there
is to be seen that New York society
at the fringes of whose gorgeous
garments the society of all other
American cities clutch and the
charmed circle"
Perhaps there are some Americans
who are not doing much grasping
and clutching. Probably not, though,
else it would not be printed that the
provincials were all trying to break
in. And the show, chat New York
society,"" superfine. par excellence,
ausgeszeichnet, is all to be seen for
81.
1t is cheap.
At the spring circus in the same
place Barnum's successors charge
almost as much for a show that has
none of these exhibits.
To the credit of the dressmakers
and milliners it can be said that they
have produced in that New York
society,"" which fills the boxes, the
most beautiful ensembles ever gath
cred under one roof. The richness
and harmony of costumes and the
stunning effects of the hats make
pictures that it is worth more than
a dollar to see. Anybody with ap-
probation of art would be willing
to pay as high as s1.75.
AS at the theater, though, the WIS.,
ions of beauty show best at long
range. At 100 feet Mrs. Railroad
Magnate and Miss Cotton Trust are
the most beautiful that ever hap
pened The ensemble is great. At
so feet they are not so fine but still
among the best. At Is feet bets are
declared off.
The color scheme of the clothes
and hats becomes less effective and,
as a rule, the facial beauty is not up
to the standard that holds attention

pressed it, fate seemed to have show

and let it go at that.
With vivacity, style and bundles
of the green, however, they do not
need good looks. Dressmakers and
milliners do the rest.
The exhibition goes to show, though
that the millionaresses are, after all,
people. Powder and red paint look
pretty much the same whether laid
on the cheek of an heiress with a
duke lowering around or whether
they make the complexion" of some
poorer maid. Money helps the former

of them are slim. very: and about a
third Of them lack nearly a foot of
what would be good height.
A burlesque feature of the show
is afforded by the dressmakers and
milliners who go about taking notes.
The horse show Is virtually the
opening of the social season and the
fine raiment is displayed for the first
time. 1t comes from the most ex-

The absence of jewels is a notable
point in the attire of the women. An
occasional small necklace or brooch
is the only jewelry in sight. They
don't wear the ponderous pearl dog
collars and the big diamond studded
creations pictured in some of the
Sunday newspapers. The scheme
of wearing watches pinned to the

of style.
