Was Amused When He Saw Mrs.
Chadwiek's Famous Assets.
Cleveland. March 6.-Trustee Of the
Chadwick Assets Nathan Loeser and
County Prosecutor Harvey R. Keeler
called by appointment upon Andrew
Carnegie at the home of Sylvester T.
Everett. in this city. Mr.. Loeser
brought with him the famous $4,000
300 note and the equally famous trust
agreement. The officials obtained
specimens Of Mr.. Ohrnegie's hand
writing for the purpose Of comparing
1t with the writing on the paper which
Mrs. Chadwick used as security for
many Of her transactions. Mr.. Carne-
gle was amused when he saw the
documents bearing his name. The dis
similarity between the signature which
Mr. Carnegie wrote for Mr.. Keeler and
the signature which was reputed to be
his on the bank paper was marked.
A second purpose of the visit to
Mr.. Carnegie was 10 learn il Mr.. Car
hegie could be dispensed from coming
lor the second trial which Mrs. Car
hegie and her husband will have to
undergo upon state indictments.
Mr.. Carnegie said that he was will
ing to come to Cleveland in the inter
est of justice as often as necessary;
that he regarded it as his duty as a
citizen to. do so, and that every citizen
should aid in the punishment Of crime
wherever found.
Mr.. Carnegie repeated his former
statements that he had never met
Mrs. Chadwick, that he had never
even heard OF her until the crash in
the woman's financial affairs came In

EDITORIAL OPINION
Porto Rieo Is LOYAL.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The popular branch Of Porto Rico's
Legislature issues a protest against
what 1t calls 'the false accounts pub
lished by the press OF the United States
lattributing TO the house sentiments Of
hostility toward the American people"
That body likewise sets forth that IL is
inspired with a fundamental senti-
ment Of adherence TO the people OF the
United States, and with the most cher
ished ideal Of preserving the personality
Of the Porto Rican people and promot-
ing their welfare"
These expressions have been called
out by assertions IN some American
papers hostile 10 the administration at
Washington that the people OF Porto
Rico were secretly working for inde-
pendence, and that they soon would
begin to work for 1t openly Such a
sentiment IS thus expressly disclaimed
by the elective branch Of the islands
legislature. The American people will
be glad TO Economically. as Ii does
from these expressions, that the is
landers are satisfied with the United
States connection. They ought to be
satisfied. Congress has not been slow
iA NiietlAlNb ldNo LOT the improvement
of the condition of Porto Rico. That
island has civil government which
meet all needs under the present con-
ditions, has free trade with the United
States and Is enjoying prosperity
altogether unprecedented in its history.
Most Of the Ponto Ricans want a full
territorial form of government. They
are likely to get it in the coming Con-
gress. The President favors IL, and 50
undoubtedly do a large majority Of the
people OF the United States. It's gov
ernment at present lacks little OF the
complete territorial status. 1t is far
more advanced than that Of Alaska,
a region which has belonged to the
United States more than five times as
long as has Porto Rico. The Porto
Ricans are represented at Washington
by "a commissioners, but he lacks a
little Of the privileges accorded to del
egates such as Oklahoma, Arizona and
New Mexico have at the national capi-
tai, who sit in the House, introduce
bills, talk on them and do everything
except vote. On the whole the Porto
Ricans have been considerably treated
and additional concessions for them are
undoubtedly near at hand.

Max DeerbOhm WouId Make Actors
Dress In Costume Always.
Max Beerbohm, the English artist,
brother of Beerbohm Tree, has caused
considerable amusement by his sugges-
tions on stage costumes, says a special
cable dispatch from London to the
New York World.
I'VE have no drama yet" be says,
"but we have costumes. What is want
ed is stage clothing, not costume. The
French stage spends too little on dress,
that of London too much. But when u
comes TO the wearing Of clothes Lon
don has to take back seat. Partisan
actors and actresses are not conscious
Of the fact that they are dressed up. In
England the opposite is the case. All
rehearsals should be dress rehearsals.
That would make the players feel at
home on the night of production.
In fact, it would make them wear
their clothes out Of doors, because II
would advertise the play and would
lessen the self consciousness Of the In
dlviduals forming the company"
Beerbohm Tree has rejOined that hC
looks forward TO walking down Picca
dilly dressed as Callban arm In arm
with Max.

Safe from the wind that wildly walls,
Armed with my book Of fairy tales,

To rescue maids from ogres' clutch,
Who braved enchantresses and such
To reach the Princess charmed abode.
How dragons with their fiery breath
Would try 20 halt the hero's quest.
But he, IN magic armor dressed.
Pursued tho monsters TO their death.
These foes o'ercome, the journey ends

And at her lovers call descends.

To rule the land as king and queen,
With naught Of harm or evil mion

.STRINGHAM'S SPEED REDUCED
Torpedo Boat Built by X. & H. Co.
accepted BY Government.

After a hard fight Senator Ball and
Congressman Houston succeeded in
having Congress pass a bill reducing
the required speed of the torpedo boat
Stringham, from 30 to % knots per
hour and accepting the vessel on be-
half of the government If this speed
is attained. The boat was contracted
for by the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Company when the late Henry G..
Morse was president and was built
under plans which We're prepared by
President Morse and A S. Chesebrough
Of Bristol r. I. After repeated trial
trips it has proved that the boat could
not attain a speed Of thirty knots
and it was turned over to the gov
ernment by the new management of
the company but was never accepted.
The Stringham win be given another
trial in order to accertain IL q knots
can be made. President Roosevelt
signed the bill on Saturday.
