Many Prominent Men 10 he Witness
es-Andrcw Carnegie ON the
Scene TO Testify.

Cleveland. o., March 6.--Mrs.
Cassie l.. Chadwick was arralgned
for trial this morning before Judge
Taylor. in the U. s. district court.
The charge against her Is violation of
the National Banking law, and hay-
ing entered into a conspiracy with
President Deckwith and Cashier
Spear. of the Citizens National
bank, of Oberline. whereby she OBJ
tained money on worthless checks.
There are eighteen counts In the in
dlcements. Mrs. Chadwick arrived in
court room early, well dressed and
appeared to be most unconcerned
person present. Andrew Carnegie,
who will be witness, was also on
hand early. II was the first time he
had seen Mrs. Chadwick and he
gazed at her earnestly.
Both sides announced ready for
trial and the work of selecting the
jury has commenced.
The trial will probably last ten
days or more, as a stubborn defense
will be put up. Many distinguished
men have been summoned to appear
rs witnesses, among them leading
bankers of dozen cities. Secretary
Shaw is among the number that will
probably send representative.
Mr.. Carnegie came, in at Z O'Clock
yesterday evening on his private car
lie was met at the train and will
be entertained while in the city by
Sylvester Everett, the financier. who
is an old-time friend of the ironmas-
ter. Mr.. Carnegie had a conference
with District Attorney Sullivan re-
garding his part in the Chadwick
case. He will probably have to stay in
Cleveland I'll Wednesday, as It will
take one or two days TO secure a ju-
~. The court officials are preparing
Tor a big throng. but only those who
can get seats will be allowed in the
building at any time.
Nathan Loeser, trustee in bank
ruptcy for Mrs. Chadwick. yesterday
filed in the United States district
court an inventory and appraisement
Of the real estate and personal prop
erty of Cassie l.. Chadwick, stu
ated at the homestead, 1924 Euclid
avenue. 1t covers everything from
the mammoth pipe organ, which cost
$4,000. and is valued in the appraise-
ment at $4,000, down to the small
est article. The total valuation Of
personal property is s31,125. The
real estate is appraised at si1,190.
The personal property will be sold
the latter part of next week. The
Trustee will receive bids therefor in
lulk, and If satisfactory price may
b. obtained in that way the court
will order a sale. Otherwise the
goods will be sold by auction.
The jury was completed about
noon and court adjourned until 2
o'clock. The jurors are all farmers
hut one, who is real estate agent.

FIRST OF ITS KIND.
Important Suit Trough, Against the
4. q. NJ Louisville.

Louisville. Ky, Mar. "a suit
involving real estate valued ut about
st50.00O was filed by attorneys for
the Louisville School Board against
the Illinois Central and Chicago, st.
Louis q New Orleans Railroad com
panies. The action Ia based on a
section of the Kentucky constitution,
which provides:
"No corporation shall engage in
business other than that expressly
authorized by its charter or the law
under which II may have been or
hereafter may he organized. nor shall
II hold any real estate except such
as may be proper and necessary for
carrying on its legitimate business
for longer period than five years
under penalty Of escheat."
Under this section II Is claimed
that all real estate owned by the de-
PENDANTS near the river between
Brook and Fourteenth street, includ-
ing part of the site of the Horse Show
buildings, has esoheated TO the com
monwealth by reason of having been
held more than five years without
being used for railroad purposes and
that It is not necessary for such pur-
pose.
The property was originally ac-
CURED by the Chicago, Sc. Louis q
New Orleans Railroad company for a
period of nlpety-nlne years. Por-
tons of II have been rented and sub
leased by the latter company. The
suit Is in the nature of test.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

II Is with n feeling OF reverence
and pride that the people Of the Unit
ed states today greet their president,
Theodore Roosevelt, man who first
became the nations executive
through the tragic death of the be-
loved william Mckinley. and who so
won his way into the hearts Of the
people. that when they had chance
themselves to speak they elected him
TO this great ONCE by the greatest
plurality in the country's history.
Today's events Mt Washington are
the elimination OF one of the most
remarkable records ever made by n
president. No man ever took the
oath as president OF the United states
who was the choice Of so many peo-
pie as Theodore Roosevelt. A man
whose public life has been as stain
less. fearless. commendable and re-
plcte with success as his private life
has been an example of all that Is
pure, unselfsh and good. he stands
today the ideal of American man
hood, young. courageous and consci-
entious. possessing the ability. TO
practice the principles he advocates.
and the intrepidlty and purpose to
see that every man gets "a square
deal"
IL would be impossible to enumer-
ate the many things Theodore
Roosevelt has accomplished as a pub
lie man. and useless to attempt TO
show the widespread effect his hon
est. vigorous. straight-from-the-shoul-
der policies havo had on the people
OF the United States; but as n proof
that both have been great, we have
only to point to that magnificent,
colossal victory last November, when
millions trooped to the polls to attest
the great verdict of the American
people.
His three years rs president have
been eventful ones. lie has proven
his fitness for the highest Office In
the country's gift in many ways, and
the next four years of his residence
in the White House will be fraught
with the great attachments of a
great man, backed by the greatest
nation on earth.
President Roosevelt is president of
the whole people, and he will give us
four years of prosperous, wholesome
progress. He will do the best that
can be done to bring success and hap
piness to all. and wants the help and
goodwill of every loyal citizen in his
work. He will labor for the good of
he people as n nation, and will no
ioubt accomplish great things. but
every man as an individual citizen
should do his utmost to help, and
thus aid in securing individual pros
perity and happiness for himself and
fellow man. as the president works
for that of the nation.
In welcoming the new administra-
ton of President Roosevelt. II is with
the profound hope and belief that It
will be a credit to him and a mon
ument in his country's history.
