of s19o,S0O, according to the terms
decided upon
During the early hours of this
/ morning, a iutter of excitement was
created in the lobby Of the Holland
House by the entrance there of a
fashionably dressed man who spoke
to the night clerk concerning Mrs
Chadwiclls Whereabouts in the city
and who proclaimed himself as Cole
man Carnegie The man was in
evening clothes and wore a shining
tie He was informed that no state
ment could be made concerning Mrs.
Chadwick for the reason that the
management had decided to give out
no further information about her.
The man then said that he was Cole,
man Carnegie, Andrew Carnegie S
nephew"
The hotel clerk called the house de-
tective and the mysterious man was
escorted, rather unsteadily, up Fifth
avenue.
The name Coleman Carnegie does
not appear in the city directory or
the social register.
An army OF reporters remained in
the lobby of the hotel during the en-
tire night owing to many rumors that
Mrs. Chadwick was about to depart.
George RyaIl, the attorney for New
ton. made this statement today:
MY understanding was that Mrs.
Chadwick was to leave for Cleveland
last night, and the reason she did not
so was because of the new proceed
ings for rece1vership. So far as the
Newton claims are concerned. we are
not worrying. No payments have
been made, but the terms agreed
upon for settlement are absolutely
satisfactory to us and we are conf
dent beyond question that Mrs. Chad
wick will settle these claims on time.
1t must be Remembered that Mrs.
Chadwick had many influential
friends in Cleveland and elsewhere
who will stand by her. She does not
purpose to run away for she has moth
ing to run away from so far as can
see. l believe she will return to
Cleveland Sunday or Monday and
that the new receivership proceedings
will be dropped and that the claims
will be adjusted without legal pro
ceedinss.
Mrs. Chadwick consulted her coun-
sci, Philip Carpenter, over the tele-
phone this morning. She breakfast
ed in her room.
The much heralded statement ex-
pected from her which her counsel
has claimed would clearup all doubt
as to her antecedents and financial
position, was not forthcoming to-day,
and the lawyers who claim that it
would be written by her as soon as
she would be able to do SO, to-day re-
fused to be interviewed on the sub
ject.

CHARGE AMUSES
THE OFFICIALS
Story of Alleged Mistreat-
ment of Chinese Visitors
to Worlds Fair Is Refuted
PROVE TO BE COOLIES
Mongolians Arrive Without
Credentials and Are COM
PEELED to Prove Status

officials of the United States Immi-
grant Bureau at this port were amused
yesterday on reading a newspaper dis
patch announcing that the Chinese
Minister at Washington, ID. c., had
filed with the State Department pro-
test against the treatment of certain
Chinese who had landed here on the
way to the exposition at st. Louis.
The dispatch represents Chang Yon
Tong, secretary of the Chinese Worlds
Fair Commission, as saying:
My country1nen were subjected to humiliat-
ing treatment at San Francisco. where they
were held UP by the customs officials for two
davs despite the fact that they had suffcient
money with them to justify the statements
that they were reputable citizens OF emma
They also had signed letters from the Amer
ican Consul at Pekng, stating their financial
and social standing in China. but they were
forced to furnish bond in the sum OF soVV
gold each before the customs officials would
release them.
The immigrant officials say that the
cases referred to are those of twelve
Chinese who arrived on the steamship
Doric on February 25, of this year.
Eleven came in the steerage and were
entered on the ships manifest as of
fetal servants for the Chinese section
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposl-
ton" They had the appearance of
coolies and travelled, ate. slept and
dressed as such. Rule Al of the regu-
lations of the department adopted July
27, 1903, requires all Chinese persons,
excepting Chinese diplomatic officers or
their attendants, to present certain
prescribed certificate from the Chinese
Government. None of the eleven steer
age passengers exhibited such certi-
ficates, but they had letters and other
documents which the immigrant Off
Gals are not allowed to recognize. A
report was telegraphed to Washing
ton, D. c.. and pending the arrival Of
the reply the servants and the cabin
passenger were kept on board the
steamship for four days, at the end OF
which time they were, with one ex-
ception, permitted 20 land and resume
their journey. The exception was Chin
All Sheng, who was denied landing
because he was afflicted with a loath-
some contagious disease.
The cabin passenger, in conformity
with the regulations, was required to
give a bond in the small sum of $500
as security for his going back to China
after the close of the exposition.

Crocker, Easton, Eldridge & Co., Wen
dell and George Easton and others
were defendants was dismissed yester-
day in the United States Circuit Court
on stipulation. An affidavit by j. c.
McGarvin, Public Administrators of Los

part of 1901 he was the owner of 5000
shares of the stock of the Yukon Crude
Oil Company and 10000 shares of Rex
Crude Oil Company. These companies
were consolidated into a corporation,
known as the Union Consolidated
Crude Oil Company, and. it was alleged
that by reason of such consolidation

Company were increased in number so
per cent and those of the American
Fuel Oil Company 20 per cent. Bull
wer received Al, 500 shares in the Con-
solidated Oil Companies of California

ated Crude Oil Company and its secre-
tary, without consent of the stockhold-
ers. "by some illegal and fraudulent
means" transferred to the Consolidat-
ed Oil Companies of California all the
franchises and property Of the other

SLOT MACHINE LICENSES
MUST NOT BE REFUNDED
City Attorney Long Advises Board OF
Supervisors Not to Return Fees
Paid in Advance.

City Attorney Long yesterday ad-
has no legal power to refund license
taxes paid in advance for the quarter
ending September 30, 1903, on slot
machines which were ordered out by
the Police Commissioners. The opin-
ion says:
1T is not necessary to the decision of
this matter that we should pass upon
the question whether, in the event of
the revocation of a license without
cause and before the expiration of the
term for which it is granted, there is
any legal obligation on the part of
the city TO refund a proportionate
amount of the tax, since it does not
appear in this case that the license
has been revoked. On the contrary,
it does appear that there was nothing
done by the municipality or any of its
officers limiting the use and operation
of the machines in any part of the
city and county other than on such
premises as were used for the sale OF
liuuor And even in such places the
machine could be used and operated
provided liquors were not sold.
Whatever might nave peen the
rights of the petitioners, therefore, if
their licenses had been revoked, / am
of the opinion that a mere regulation
of the exercise of the privilege grant
ed will not confer a right to the re-
turn of the moneys paid. AS the
Board of Supervisors cannot legally
allow an Illegal demand it is without
legal power to refund the amounts
claimed. and you are so advised"
