MRS. CHADWICK NABBED
for Alleged Crooked Dealings
Before the Courts.

The climax in the affairs of Mrs.
Cassie L. Chadwick came at New York
Wednesday, when she was placed IN
der arrest in her apartments at the
Hotel Breslin, charged with aiding and
abetting a bank officer in embezzliHg
S12,500. The arrest was made after a
lengthy conference between United
States Commissioner Shields, Assist
ant United States District Attorney E.
E. Baldwin, Secret Service Agent j.
Flynn and United States Marshal Viii
liam Henki. Commissioner Shields
issued the warrant, which charges a
violation of section 52O9 If the United
States federal laws, relating to con-
.spiracy.
There was a scene in the woman's S
room when the officials announced to
Mrs. Chadwick that she was under
arrest. A maid opened the door, and
when asked by Agent Flynn for Mrs.
Chadwick, the woman appeared. Her
SOC stood by and witnessed with a
blank face the scene that followed. He
stepped to his mothers side as she
burst into tears, but said nothing.
Marshal Henki. who with his depu-
ties and United States Secret Service
Agent William J. Flynn, grouped in
the door of MIS-. ChadwicA's apart.
ment, had entered without knocking,
found her in bed. He said:
Madame, have an unpleasant duty
to perform. l am obliged 10 serve a
warrant for your arrest, issued by
United States Commissioner Shields.
at the instance of the federal authori-
ties of Ohio"
I'm very nervous and ill., replied
Mrs. Chadwick. What shall | do? l
certainly am unable to get up
In that case," said the marshal, Il
shall be obliged to remain here and
keep you under surveillance You
will realize that unpleasant as this is
for both of us, you are prisoner and
I have no right to leave you here alone,
I will do everything can to relieve
you of any annoyance, however"
When the conference was in prog.
ress a man, believed to De Mr.. Pow.
ers, one of Mrs. Chadw'ck's counsel,
entered the room. and began to advise
her. He advised her to stay in bed,
and under no circumstances to leave
the room. Marshal Henki took excep-
ton to the advice, and said:
If Mrs Chadwick needs any advice
as prisoner I will give it 10 her. No
attempt will be made to move her
from here tonight, but she must go be-
fore Commissioner Shields in the
morning."
The secret service men engaged a
room adjoining Mrs. Chadwick" suite,
and established themselves there for
the night.

The commander of the Japanese
naval guns in front Of Port Arthur, tel
egraphing on December 6, says:
AN observation taken from 2O3-

Poltava is sunk and that the battle
ship Retvizan is listing heavily to
port.
"Observations taken December 6

"Since December 2 we have daily
bombarded the enemy's fleet lying
south of Paiyu mountain. From that
point only the n,asts and funnel tops
Of the battle ships Pobeda, Retvizan

but it was impossible to count the
number Of our shells taking effect.
"On other ships explosions result
ing from our shells could be seen, but
owing to their positions behind the

DOWN WITH THE CAR!
Gigantic Demonstration in St. Peters
burg Against Further continu-
ance Of War-Heads Battered.

A St. Petersburg special says: A
popular anti-goyernment demonstra-
tion, the participants in which in
cluded large numbers of students Of
both sexes, began at midday Sunday
in the Neyski prospect and lasted
about two hours. Hundreds Of police
and mounted gendarmes, who were
hidden in the court yard Of the public
buildings, emerged suddenly and
charged the crowd at full gallop, dry
ing the demonstrators in headloAg
confusion upon the sidewalks and into
adjacent streets. This led to serious
encounters, fifty persons being more
or less severely injured. Large num-
bers were arrested.
Not since the riots Of 1901, when
Cossacks stretched across the Nevshs
prospect from building to building,
charged down the boulevard from the
Moscow station to the Neya, has the
Russian capital lived through such
day Of excitement as this. The au-
thorities previously got wind. OF the,
big anti-government demonstration
planned for Sunday by the social dem
ocratic labor party to demand an i'm
mediate end Of the war and the con-
vocation Of national assembly and in
every leading paper in blackfaced
type was an explicit warning to the
people at their peril to desist from
congregating to the Nevski prospect
near the Kazan cathedral. @.;
The newspaper warnings, however.
by giving notice to those not apprised
of the prospect of a demonstration,
defeated the very object for which
they were designed. attracting SEEM
ingly the whole population Of the
vast city to the broad thoroughfare;
and long before the hour fixed, de-
spite the pleading Of the police, who
literally lined the sidewalks, the
throngs on the pavements were so
dense that movement was almost inn
possible.
In throngs on the sidewalk were
practically the whole student body
of the capital, including many young
women, who have always been promf-;
nent in Russia in liberal revolutionary
movements, and thousands Of work
men belonging to the social labor par
ty.
The police recognizing that the crit
ical moment was approaching, tried in
vain to keep back the human tide.
Then, when there was not single
mounted policeman in sight, on the
stroke Of 1, from the heart Of the
thickly wedged crowd q blood red
flag like JET Of fame suddenly shot
up. 1t was the signal. Other flags
appeared in the crowd, waving fran
tically overhead, and they were greet
ed with hoarse roar, Down with a1-
tocracy" The students surged into
the street singing the "Marsellase."
Dismounted police made a single
attempt to force their way into the
crowd to wrest the flags from TIE.
demonstrators but the students and
workmen, armed with sticks. stood
close and beat back their assailantS.
Then, like a flash, from behind the
Kazan cathedral, came hordes Of gend-
armes. The doors of adjoining court
yards were thrown back and batal-
ions of police came out and furiouslyt
charged the dense throngs.

Mrs, Chadwick is Unable to
Secure Bail of $4,000.
i'm MOST PITIABLE PLIGHT
At Preliminary Hearing in Ne" York
on Conspiracy Charge, JussIe:'
OF Millions is Bound over
for Trial.

Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick was ar
raigned before United States Commis-
sioner Shields in New York Thursuay
morning and held In $4,000 bail.
which she. was unable to furnish. All
day long lawyers representing her in
terests had sought in every quarter
for some one owning real estate In
Manhattan who would sign her bond,
and the marshal had, out Of sympathy
for the woman, kept her in his office
hours after she could have been re-
moved. The endeavors of the lawyers
were unsuccessful. rendering her i'm
! prisonment necessary.
To add to her cup of wee, It was
learned that a charge Of forgery
would very likely be made against the
woman in Ohio, based on the Carns.
gle notes and other papers given as
! securities for loans.
Thursday night Mrs. Chadwick oc.
cupied one Of the scantily furnished
| cells In the Tombs. After a truitless
search all day for bail, her attorneys
gave up the fight. . ....:
Mrs. Chadwick was wan, tired and
almost fainting. They were driven d.
rectly to the Toombs. Arriving there
Mrs. Chadwick was half carried up
the steps into the building. Warden
Flynn met the party, and after the
usual preliminaries had been attended
to, the woman asked permission to
have her nurse remain with her. This
was denied, the warden saying that
she should have no privileges not al.
lowed other prisoners.
Already the country has been start
led by the disclosures which have fol'
lowed one another in quick succession
since Mrs. Chadwicks affairs were
brought before the public view, less
than two weeks ago. Since that time.
Mrs.. Chadwick's known Indebtedness
has grown from less than 100000 to
more than s1,0oG,0O0, and ner counsel
has said that claims against. her may
amount to 20,oO0, 900, for all he knows.
The validity of some of the claims,
however, said the attorney, was an
other matter.
The strangest feature of the mys-
terry has been the use Of the name Of
M. Carnegie. What reason was OF
fered to explain why Mr.. ca 'negie.
who has an income Of more than $10,-
100000 a year from United Statss
Steel bonds alone, should be giving
notes has not been brought out.
Probably not in the history of the
United States has there been anything
similar in the unusual circumstances
and magnitude to the Chadwick bor-
rowings. 1t is known by the statement
of President Beckwith, of the failed
Citizens national bank, of Oberlin,
Ohio, that notes for at least $780,
600, indorsed by Mrs. Chadwick, are
outstanding; the securities said to be
held by Iri Reynolds, of Cleveland,
figure to the extent of s5,0o0,0O0; Her
bert Newton, Of Boston, has claims for
s190,S00, and Thursday it was assert
ed by those conyersant with the
strange case that ntmber of banks
not yet mentioned in. public made
large loans to Mrs. Chadwick.
