New York, Dec. 6.-The startling ad
mission by President Beckwith, of the
Citizens National Bank of Oberlin
Ohio, that he and Cashier Spear, Of
that bank had endorsed Mrs. Chad

to be the signature of Andrew Carne

representing the various interests in
volved in the case.
President Beckwith's statement
throws a new light to the case and
brings much nearer the inevitable un.
covering of the entire affair. A sen.
sational report circulated today was
that one of the local counsel for Mrs.
Chadwick had decided to withdraw
from the case.

pletely Frustrated and his grief is pit,
iful.
Today, in speaking of the Carnegie
notes, he vehemently declared that If
the signatures were forgeries, then the
hand of the law should be laid upon
Mrs. Chadwick. "Why should stand
the brunt of all this trouble, which has
been directly brought about by the acts
of this woman?" he cried. IT had ev'
cry reason to believe that the notes
were genuine Indeed, Mrs. Chadwick
swore they were and she solemnly de-
clared that she had seen Carnegie
write his signature on them.
To confirm this she brought an at
torney with her who declared he was
the legal representative of Carnegie
and this attorney, whose name can
not now state, declared he knew pos.

nation.

That Delegate B. S. Rodey has not
learned wisdom by his recent political
experience, is shown by the accounts
which come from Washington. He is
still the same old wind-jammer and
continues as wild and irresponsible in
his statements as he was before the re-
cent election. The following dispatch
from Washington, D. c., shows that he
Immediately sought the reporters and
correspondents and unbosomed himself
regarding his woes and tribulations.
One account of his arrival and visit to
the President says:
Delegate B. S. Rodey stated that he
would renew his vigorous fight of the
past four years for statehood for the
Territory of New Mexico and Arizona
as a single state, and Oklahoma and
Indian Territory as another state, is
absolutely assured. He has assurance
from prominent men of his party which
he believes can not be gainsayed.
Incidentally Mr.. Rodey related the
manner in which the nomination as
delegate from the Territory was lost
by him and given to w. H. Andrews,
or, as he has been known for many
years in Pennsylvania, "Bull'' Andrews.
In this connection Mr.. Rodey said:
Nothing like it has ever been in the
history of American politics. Up to
within twenty-four hours of the time
when the nomination was made it was
conceded to me unanimously. Then
Governor Otero and Andrews entered
into the conspiracy which resulted In
my undoing. Andrews spent some
thing like $4,000 in the Territory and
$4,000 more as the time for the con-
vention approached. Governor Otero
worked to prevent instruction in my
behalf"

statehood legislation will be had will

be the passage of what is known as the
Rodey-Hamilton bill, but Mr.. Rodey ex-
poets that there will be some import
ant amendments. Relative to feeling
In the territories, of which he has per-
sonal knowledge, he says that 65 per
cent of the people of New Mexico are
favorable to the erection of two states
out of the four territories, but that the
territorial office holders in Arizona are
trying to create opposition to a union
with New Mexico. In his view, this is
Simply fight to retain themselves in
office Since the election many people
in Arizona are coming over to the Ro.
dey-Hamilton proposition, and in both
territories many are unwilling to ac-
cept any other form of statehood.
Mr.. Rodey was asked if the people of
the two territories would accept state
hood in the form proposed. He smiled
knowingly, and said: "Well, I should
say they will. Did you ever stop to
think that when we hold our first elec-
tion there will be something like 1900
candidates to be voted for? One of
those men will be a committee of one
who will go about the territories point
ing out the good of statehood and it's
many advantages, as we'll as his own
qualifications for office under the new
state"
This recalls the fact that it was Mr..
Rodey himself who provided that the
first set of officers should be elected at
the same time the people were voting
upon the proposition to accept state
hood.
Two Candidates for Each Office.
I'm the event of statehood" Mr.. Ro-
dey continued, there will be places for
five supreme judges, rs district judges,
36 state senators, 1876 county commits
sioners, As sheriffs, as we'll as numer-
GUS candidates., about 500 in all, for
justices of the peace. Now just double
the number given and you will have an
idea how many candidates there will
be, as there are sure to be at least two
candidates for each office. The national
government will turn over to the new
state 24,000,000 acres Of government
land. We hope to have the bill amend
ed so that it will give us an inviolate
school fund of $10,0O0,OOO. We also
hope to have the number of represen-
tatives in the new state Increased from
two to three. and will base our claim
upon the population now actually in
the territory, as shown by the recent
registration and election.
Another amendment we seek will
be an increase from 100000 to $780,.
600 of the national appropriation for
the expenses of holding the first elec-
tion and constitutional convention.
This is an amount which has always
been given in the past, and we expect
to encounter little or no difficulty in Sc
curing It,"
