ONLY A BIT OF PAPER
Package Containing Chadwick "Se-

lnstend of $4,000, 900 Collateral the
Notes md bonds Are Found to
he WorthIens-Carneg to
De Witness.

Cleveland, O., Dec 10.-According to
a story published here the package Of
securities belonging TO Mrs. Chadwick
and in the possession of Iri Reynolds,
supposed to contain 100000 worth OF
collateral, was opened yesterday. 1t
is declared that while the face value
of tho securities was 100000 the
actual value is not one cent. 1t Is
also stated that this package was In
a safe deposit vault In Jersey City,
N. j., until yesterday, when 1t was
taken out and brought to this city by
1ri Reynolds.
Banker Reynolds on the Rack.
Boston, Dec. 1O.-Concerning tho
crediting of Mr.. Newton with hoping
for a settlement through John d.
Rockefeller, on the assumption that no
would not wish to have the name OF
his pastor, Rev. Charles A. Eaton, OF
Cleveland, O., dragged into the az
fair, Mr.. Newton said: There Is no
truth in that report. have had hopes
,of a settlement, but not through Mr..
Rockefeller. Mrs. Chadwick repre-
scented to me that she had certain Sc
.curities in the care of Irf Reynolds and
I was shown an affidavit signed by
him stating that he had In his posses
;sion stocks and bonds belonging to
her valued at s5,0OO,0OO and upwards.
"A list of the securities were fur
nished me and this list was accompa-
MED by q sworn statement that Mrs.
Chadwick's semi-annual income from
the securities was $175,00O. The face
value of the securities was much more
than $4,000 That sum was named
as q conservative estimate OF their
actual value The most of them were
misunderstanding stocks" Mr.. Newton
admitted that his chance Of getting
anything from the tangle of Mrs. Chad
wick's affairs was slim.
Mr.. Newton would not say that he
hoped for a settlement from any source
other than DR.. Chadwick, but gave
the impression that he had not wholly
.despaired of recovering something
from the questioned securities. On
this point he said: Had not been
given sworn statement by Iri Rey-
nolds TO the effect that he had In his
possession s5,OOO,OOO worth of collat-
-eral belonging to Mrs. Chadwick. ]
would never have lent her the money.
When the treasurer of city banking
institution certifies that collateral In
his possession is worth stated
amount there is no reason to doubt
Sfhe genuineness of his representation"

bushels were run into the receiving
wagon in eight minutes, or at the rate
of 6is bushels a minute. In 142 min
utes 41S bushels we're turned out, tho
