faint. The closing of the banks doors followed. and then, bit by bit, the remarkable story of Cassie L. Chadwick came to light.
 The Wade Park Banking Com- pary of Cleveland was the next to become involved. It was rumored that the bank held upward of $4oo 900 of Mrs. Chadwick's paper, and the bank was forced to post the sixty lay otice for the withdrawal of deposits.
 Development followed dew lop- ment until it was found that this woman had borrowed money on personal notes running away into the millions. Some of the notes appeared 10 be indorsed by rich men, including Andrew Carnegie, but their signatures are claimed to be forgeries.
 Hypnotism is one of the alleged arts employed in the huge game
 Mrs. Chadwick spent money lav- ishly. She bought eight pianos in one day and gave them 10 friends, and bought diamond rings by the tray. She had a jeweler travel r2, ,4oo miles to get a particular kind of ring. Solid gold orns- ments I revailed everywhere in her home. She gave her husband surprise by having the house en. tirely renovated and refurnishee, in one night while he was at the theater. She gave her cook costly sealskin jacket, and would go shopping in a costume made en- tirely of sealskin She once took twelve young society girls to Eu- rope.
 The truth about the millions of securities upon which she obtained loans may never be known.

THE ARCTIC
 BROTHERHOOD
Originating in d "Josh." the Order is Now an Influence
 Throughout the North.

The history of the Arctic Broth erhoood dates from February, 1899. At that time number of north bound Klondikers OH the steamthip City of Seattle amused themselves on the trip by founding ''josh" !" order. After arriving at Skagway they carried out the 'josh,' a number of them became earnest, and from their work an organization resulted that now has an active membership throughout juri die t on comprising all of Ala>ka, the northern portion of British Colum- bia and tie Yukon territory, and has clearance membership that is scattered all over the world.
 The members carried or the lists of the camps form but nucleus of the order. Once member, unless expelled, always member. Upon leaving the jurisdiction the mem bers are given clearance cards and are in god standing to join any camp they may please upon re- entering the jurisdiction. Among about four thousand clearance members scattered in various parts of the earth are men of worldwide reputation. During many of the camp meetings the Arctic recorder reads letters from clearance brothers who have gone on to fresh fields in search of wealth and adventure. Trey are wandering ill the remote regions of every continent.
 Under a special disrensation President Roosevelt was made a member of the order i'll Seattle in 1902, and Camp Rampant No. IS had the distinction of initiating United States Senators knute Nel- son, William P. Dillingham;, T. M. Patterson and Henry F.. Burnham on July g, 1903.
 The purposes of the order are becoming more clearly defined and better understood. Broadly stated, they are to promote sociability and 10 advance the interests of the far north.
 The fourth annual grand encamp- ment was held in Seattle last No vember. It was by far the most important and successful convention vet held by the order. The follow ing grand officers were elected;

METcALF DEFENDS GARFIELD
Declares Time Will Vindicate Work Of
Federal Prober of Trusts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Secretary
Metcalf of the bureau of commerce and
labor, mas written a voluminous annual
report His department cost $11,272,
39145 last year. The employees num-
Der 9,414.
The secretary asks for many special
agents to investigate industries and
labor conditions. He indorses the rec
ommendation of the president for fed
eral supervision of corporations and
adds:
'It is clear that the commissioner of
corporations, under the present act and
in view of the decisions of the supreme
court, has no jurisdiction over insur-
ance companies. Whether the federal
government can supervise and regulate
insurance companies can be detehmin-
ed only after further legislation and
judicial decision"
After alluding to the bureau inves-
tigation of the beef, oil, steel, sugar
tobacco, coal and lumber industries, the
secretary says:
sThe work of the bureau will not
meet the approval of those who think
that industrial conditions can be
changed by hasty legislation, nor of
those who demand the conviction, in
advance of proof, of persons charged
with unfair business methods or
wrongdoing but the department and
bureau do expect to gain the confidence
and support of all men who believe in
fair dealing and who recognize that
permanent improvement in our indus
trial conditions can only be obtained
when the truth regarding those condi-
tions has been found by unprejudiced,
nainstakin~ Investigations and that the
evils arising out of ill-considered legis-
lation are quite as great as those which
such legislation seeks to destroy"
The secretary estimates that more
than 6OO,OOO,00O persons were carried
bv steamers under the supervision of
the steamboat inspection service. The
number of aliens who applied for ad-
mission to the United States last year
was 1.O26, ,499, an increase over the pre-
vious wear of 213,629. The number of
nersons denied admission was II, ,480.
The secretary recommends that med
ical inspectors be stationed at the prin-
cipal foreign ports. He suggests the
more rigid enforcement of the Chlnese
exclusion act and winds up his report
with plea for new department
building.

THEY ASK THE COURT TO
GRANT THEM SEPARATE
TRIALS.
Judge Humphrey Has Taken the
Question Under Consideration
Garfield ss a Witness.

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 12.-Garfield
was the first witness in the packers
cases to appear in the u. S. district
attorneys office. He refused to dis
cuss the cases, saying he reserved all
testimony for the court. The work of
empanelling a jury will begin at 1915.
The attorneys consumed a large
part of the morning arguing the pro-
posal that each be given a separate
trial on each indictment. This would
necessitate 21 different juries. The
judge said that two or more robbers.
having broken into a postofffce could
be tried together. The defendants OBJ
jected, saying there was no analogy.
Judge Humphrey having reached no
decision, announced there would be no

WILL REMAIN At NAVAL ACADEMY

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec 12.-
Sentence has been passed by Secre-
tary of the Navy Bonaparte on Mid
shipman Meriwether He will be con-
hned to the limits of the academy
for year and will be reprimanded by
the secretary of the navy
Bonaparte has modified part of the
sentence, so it will allow Meriwether
to go on the annual practice cruise; /;
leave the grounds.
BOnaparte said that the autopsy
testimony showed a reasonable doubt
of the cause of death, whether it was
due to blow from a fist or fall and
the defendant should be given the ben
eft of the doubt. Meriwether was
found guilty of the charge Of infrac-
ton of the academy's rules by engag
ing in a fight and nagging Branch,
calling him a sneak and a coward.
Secretary Bonaparte, in discussing
the custom of fighting at the naval
academy says there could be no such
thing as lawful custom to commit
crime. He says the defendant should
not be excused on the grounds of ig-
nOrance. He says sentence might as
well have been more severe rather
than less.
