Mrs. Cassie Chadwick Sentenced
to the Ohio Penitentiary
on Six Counts.
EXCEPTION TO SENTENCE TAKEN.
BY Good Behavior She Can Reduce
Her Time TO Eight Years aud
Four Months.
The Defense Intends To Make the
Claim That the Court Can Not I'm
pose a Separate Sentence
For Each Count.

Cleveland, o., March 2S.-Unless
the higher court interferes Mrs. Cas-
sic l. Chadwick will spend the great
er part OF the next ten years In the
Ohio state penitentiary. A sentence
OF ten years was imposed on her by
Judge Robert w. Tayler, in the United
State district court. The sentence
came at the close of a busy day for
the court In hearing arguments on q
motion for new trial, which lasted
all day. The motion was overruled.
Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on
seven counts and sentenced upon six
counts. For four of these counts a
sentence of two years each was i'm
posed. Upon two counts a sentence
OF one year each was imposed, max
Ing a total sentence OK ten-ysars.
AS soon as the sentence was pro-
DoaReed attorney ]. p. Dawley. of
counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, took ex-
ceptions to the sentences upon each
count, except the first count The de-
fense intends to make the claim that
the court can not impose a separate
sentence for each count; that the law
applies to the general charge instead
OF each incident OF q general charge.
The various counts OF the indictment
are considered by the defense to refer
only to details os the general offense.
This point will also be contested In
the higher court. as will the other
points OF the Chadwick trial which re-
suited in her conviction.
Either Judge Francis ]. Wing or Mr..
Dawley Will go to Cincinnati to make
arrangements for a review Of the case
by the United States circuit court OF
appeals.
BY good behavior Mrs Chadwick
can reduce her time OF Imprisonment
to eight years and four months.

MRS. SCHOFIELD DIED
AS SHE PROPHESIED
Peculiar Coincidence Surrounding Death
of Well-Known Resident of
Georgetown.

The funeral of Mrs. Ann Rebecca
Schofeld. who died suddenly shortly
after clock last night, took place this
afternoon at clock. from her late
home. 1895 Potomac street. Georgetown.
Rev. Mr.. Grouse, Of the Congress Street
Methodist Protestant Church. officiated.
Interment was in Rock Greek Cemetery.
The death of Mrs. Schoheld was sur
rounded with a peculiar coincidence, in
that about a year ago-the 18th Of
August-when her oldest son. John D.
SchofelG, ir., died at the home Of his
parents, she announced to those present
that she would follow her son in death
on the 18th of August, 1905. She also re-
ferred TO the fact that on the 18th of
August. 1903. her oldest brother. Thomas
NJ, Crown. had died.
Mrs. Schofeld. though not a robust
woman. had never been sick. Her health
was generally good and although she
frequently referred to the statement that
she would die on the 18th OF this month,
her health remained good up to within
two days of her death.
The members of her family as the 18th
of August approached, became alarmed
and sought in every way 10 DIVERT the
mothers mind from the dread prophecy,
and in a measure succeeded. On Monday
afternoon of this week, Mrs. SchoheId 9
daughter. Mrs Amelia Howard, took her
out driving and shopping In a store on
Pennsylvania avenue, Mrs. Schofield had
fainting spell. She was taken home i'm
mediately and Dr.. Suter summoned. MIS-.
Schofeld said the doctor was useless as
a higher power had decreed that she
should die on the 18th. She did not die
on the 18th instant, but breathed her last
eighteen hours later. Heart failure was
the cause of death.
Mrs. Schofield was born at Sligo, Nd,
August 19. 1899 She is survived by her
husband, John D. ScholeId. and three
children. Mrs. Amelia Howard. Frank J.
Schof1eld and Charles E. Schofieid.

One Of the largest and best equipped
stages in the country is IN Coney
Island scenic show. But its great odd
ity Is that it is circular. the stage COM
pleteIy encircIing the auditorium, en-
trance being had from beneath.
The heavy scenes are mounted upon
trucks, which run upon narrow railways.
There are twenty OF these tracks on the
stage and the entire scene shifting is
accomplished through the application OF
electricity.
Another scenic show at the island is
produced through the manipulation Of

Letter From President.

The following letter from President
Roosevelt. addressed 10 Emmett J.
Scott, secretary of the league, was
read:
My dear Mr. Scott: I wish all sue
cess TO the National Negro Business
League. Your organization is absolutely
out of politics: and In stimulating activ-
lily among your people and working
to Increase their efficiency in the indus
trial world il is also doing far-reaching
work in the way Of giving them a
realizing sense OF their responsibilities
as citizens and power TO meet their re-
sponsibilities.
y need hardly say that 1 put moral
betterment above physical betterment.
But ii is absolutely impossible 10 DO
good work in promoting the spiritual i'm
provement of any race unless there Is
q foundation of material well being, be-
cause this foundation necessarily i'm
plies that the race has developed the root
qualities Of thrift, energy. and business
sense. II is as true of a race as or
an individual that. while outsiders can
help 10 q certain degree, yet the real
help must come in the shape OF self
help.
The success of your organization and
the development among our colored fell
low-citiZens OF the very qualities for
which you stand Will mean more for
the solution of the race problem than
any philanthropic efforts merely from
outside could pOSSiblV do
