CHADWICK
J]EWELRY
LOCATED
Gems OF Great Value
Are Traced by the
Government.
Incomplete Search Reveals
Stones Worth Quarter
Of a Million.
Said to Have Been Struggled Over
and Then Given as Presents
to Friends.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 1.-THE Plain
Dealer tomorrow will say: Investiga-
tion into the charges that Mrs. Cassie
L. Chadwick smuggled large quantities
or diamonds, gems and other precious
stones into this country has developed
the fact that the woman dealt in pre-
clous stones to an almost fabulous eX-
tent. In order to make a case on the
charge Of smuggling il was found
necessary for the Government authori-
ties to trace all the deals for diamonds
and jewelry made by Mrs. Chadwick,
both in this country and in Europe.
The statement has been made by Col
lector of Customs Leach that jewelry
and precious stones worth more than
$3.50, 600 and handled by Mrs. Chadwick
have been traced and positively located.
1t is added that this great amount of
JeWeiry has been uncovered with the
investigation still incomplete. OF this
amount the Government is directly in
terested in about one-third.
While the Government is attempting
simply to collect any unpaid duties on
diamonds brought from Europe, it is
understood that all the evidence Sc
cured will be placed at the disposal of
Receiver Nathan Loesser and that he
will be able to realize thousands of dol
lars for the creditors of the woman.
The investigation has led to the dis
covery that only a small portion of the
jewelry was put UP as collateral for
loans made BY Mrs. Chadwick and that
by far the greater portion went as gifts
to friends and acquaintances.
The regular customs rate of duty on
diamonds and jewelry brought to this
country is 10 per cent of the value of
the goods. Figuring on this basis, the
Government authorities expect to real
ize between $4,000 and 100000 The rest
of the proceeds from the sale of any
jewelry on which duty has not been
paid will be turned over to Loesser to
be distributed among the Chadwick
creditors.
'It is simply the truth to say that
Mrs. Chadwick handled pearls, ruhies
sapphires, emeralds and garnets almost
literally by the peck" said a Govern
ment official. THE testimony of experts
shows that the woman did not handle
anything but the finest articles, and
there is scarcely a penny's worth Of
cheap jewelry in the entire lot that has
been traced"
According to Government officials by
far the greater portion of the jewelry
is in the hands of innocent persons.
The work of informing these people
that their claim on the jewelry is to be
protested is going on.
1t is believed that practically all the
people who have the jewelry will agree
to settlement without taking the mat
ter into the courts. At the same time
the Government authorities, as well as
Receiver Loesser. are taking steps to
enforce their demands in the matter If
so compelled.

DENOUNCED
BY PRIEST
Pastor Pays His Re-
SpoCtS to "Mr.
0ilfeller.' y
Says Magnate'S S.GOld Is Used
to Bribe or Ruin All
Competitors.
Business Conduct shaped With the
Single Object Of Despoiling Those
That Are Weak.
sssssaa ,,Ssg,snsss tn. Gan.


NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Referring to
John D. Rockefeller as . Mr.. Oilerfeller,' .
Rev. Thomas ]. Ducey, pastor of st.
Leos Catholic Church. to-day preach
ed against trusts and monopolies in
general and the Standard Oil Com
pany in particular.
I'm this country said Father Du-
cey, exists monopoly and trust that
threatens the safety of the Govern
ment, truth. justice, freedom of edu-
cation and the purity of soul in re-
ligious profession.
This paramount trust of the world
is we'll preserved in oil and gold and is
CLOSED over by universities and up
held openly by one denomination and
criminally approved by the silence
which grants the consent of the minis
ters of religion from many other de-
nominations.
Every man standing between the
head of this monopoly and his gold
was to be bribed or ruined; every COM
bination opposed to him meant more
attacks, more plotting, without fear or
favor, to drive it from the field.
From the time that Mr.. Oilerfeller
began crowding the weaker and more
honorable remorselessly to the wall by
means of Improvement companies,
which meant to destroy opponents and
improve himself, but one purpose
marked his business conduct
1T would be well for those who are
in the habit of quoting the Bible in
public to remember that the devil can
quote scripture for his purpose and
can steal the livery of heaven to do
the work of sin, crime and injustice.

Years.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DENVER, Jan. 15.-Francois Du-
mon, Frenchman and waiter, who
has cleared $4,000 in five years from
tips" left Denver tonight for San
Francisco. He has heard much of the
coast metropolis and its resemblance
to Paris and he will visit it before go
ing home.
During the Worlds Fair Dumon was
a waiter in one Of the most fashion
able cafes in ST. Louis. He says he
cleared nearly $4,000 IN tips" last
year.
The young man speaks six Ian
guagas. His father and grandfather
were walters in Paris and he was
trained especially for the work, as, he
says, all the best walters are. Du-
mon intends to spend a life of ease
in Paris after seeing the coast. He
affects a silk hat and a Prince Albert
frock suit. but makes no effort in any
other way to appear the other than
what he is.

Electricity.
Special Dispatch to IN. Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-An attempt
will be made soon to dissipate fog In
New York harbor by shooting ESQ.,
600 volt electric bolt through barbed
wire into the air. This is the method
which Sir Oliver Lodge has adopted
in his wonderfully successful fog dis
pelling experiments at Birmingham
University, England.
The experiments here probably will
be conducted off the Quarantine sta
ton on Staten Island, or at Governors s
Island. at both of which high masts
OR poles will be available.
The fogs in New York harbor have
been unusually dense and prolonged
this winter.
Sir oliver asserts that he can dis
sipate smoke, fog and mist. Incl
dentally, he produces rain. This he
accomplishes by the production of
continuous high potential electrical
discharges. He has effected a COM
bination of high potential rectifiers.

SUFFERS RATHER
THAN ASK HELP
Scion of a Famous French
Family Lives in Want With
Plenty of Means at His Call
Special Dispatch to The Call

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 15.-Comte
Valiant de la Croix, the last male
survivor of one of the noblest families
of France, is dying penntless in Los
Angeles because he is too proud TO let
his wealthy relatives in Paris know
aught of his sickness and poverty.
Since the days of the cruSades the
house of De la Croix has been one of
prominence among French aristocracy.
The father of the present Count was
killed in the Franco-Prussian war.
Count valiant chose music as his pro-
fession and practically renounced his
title when he came to America about
fifteen years ago in pursuance of his
musical career. He was educated un-
der the best masters of Paris and
Florence and under the stage name of
Sienor Bravura he gained renown as
a leading barytone in Europe and
America.
In the East the Count achieved
some success as a manager of opera
companies. He was at various times
instructor in voice culture in the Bos-
tor Conservatory of Music, the Knick
erbocker Conservatory of New York,
the Illinois Conservatory of Music and
other institutions. Several years ago
he came to the Pacific Coast for the
benefit of his health and opened a
studio in San Francisco. Mrs. Percy
Cartwright and Miss Jessie Baker of
Oakland were trained by him for
grand opera. y
About a year ago he came to Los
Angeles, where he had a large class
of pupils. His health broke down four
months ago. His resources gave out
and he would now be In the County
Hospital but for the charity of
strangers. De Ia Croix has a wealthy
sister In Paris, but his pride will not
permit him to apply to her for assist
ance.
