MRS. CHADWICK SENTENCED
Judge Tayler DEGREES Ten Years
Imprisonment.

Unless a higher court interferes
Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick will spend
the greater part of the next ten years
in the Ohio penitentiary. A sentence
of 10 years was imposed upon her by
Judge Robert w. Tayler in the United
States District Court at Cleveland.
Motion for new trial 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 impos-
ed. Upon two counts sentence Of
one year each was imposed.
AS soon as the sentence was pro-
nounced Attorney J. p. Dawley OF
counsel for Mrs. Chadwick took ex
ceptions to the sentences upon each
count except the first. The defense
intends to make the claim that the
court cannot impose a separate sen.
tence for each count; that the law ap.
plies to the general charge instead OF
each incident of general charge
Inc various counts of the indictment
are considered by the defense to refer
only to details of the general offense
This point will be contested in the
higher court, as will the other points
of the Chadwick trial which resulted
in her conviction.
Mrs. Chadwick was not particularly
affected by the action of the court, as
seemingly she had resigned herself
to any action that might be taken.

GREAT SCHEMER DEAD
Man Who Made and Lost Fortunes in
Various Schemes.


James F. Wardner, widely known as
a mining prospector and promoter of
gigantic enterprises, died in FL Paso,
Tex. He was an eccentric man, and
during his lifetime had made and lost
four fortunes.
Among Wardner's most celebrated
schemers were "The Nationa. Candy
bank" operated in st. Louis, and
"The Consolidated Black Cat COM
pany, limited" with its ranch for
raising black cats in the State of
Washington. Other pursuits to which
Wardner by turns addressed himself
included such widely different occu-
paticls as hog raising in California
and gold mining in Arizona. Going to
Milwaukee with $4,000 IN his pocket
he declared an intention of settling
down to some quiet business, but be-
fore he selected that business he had
lost the money in speculation.
Most of Wardner's life was spent in
journeying over the American conti-
nent, but his wanderings had even
taken him into the diamond fields of
South Africa. Wardner was Connected
with several large mining deals, his
operations extending from the Klon-
dixie to the isthmus Of Panama, and at
the time of his death he was the owner
of a quicksilver mine in Mexico. He
served during the Civil war, being ap-
pointed hospital steawrd of the
Thirty-ninth Wisconsin regiment.

ASKED TO RESIGN
President Proposes to Have Free
Hand in Panama Matters.

Hand in Panama Matters.
The first practical step having in
view the reorganization of the Panama
canal commission was taken when,
in compliance with instructions from
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft
required the members of the commits
sion TO tender their designations.
Secretary Taft's demand was couched
in the following language:
"The president directs me to ask
the members of the commission to
hand in their resignation in order
that he may have free hand in re-
organizing the commission. Please
wire Gen. Davis requesting that his
resignation be forwarded"
The request was promptly complied
with by those members Of the COM
mission now in Washington, and their
designations will be in the hands of
the president tomorrow. The pur-
port of Secretary Taft's letter re-
questing the designations of the COM
missioners was sent to Maj.-Gen.
George W. Davis, retired of the army
the governor of the canal zone and
also one of the members of the COM
mission, and a prompt answer is ex-
Scted from him.

STEADY DEMAND.
Orders Are Constantly Growing and
Plants Are Assured of Activity
for Many Months TO Come.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly Review
of Trade" says: Trade returns are
increasingly satisfactory, continued
high temperature accelerating distri-
button in all the leading lines. The
closing days of March brought greater
confidence regarding the future, and
results for the first quarter Of 1905
proved even more favorable than was
anticipated when the year opened
Sanguine expectations of manufactur-
ers who made extensive preparations
are now being realized. Reports from
the South indicate that the period of
hesitation is about over and agricult-
ural sections are stimulated by pros
poets of a good season for planting.
Freight congestion has followed the
heavy shipment Of spring merchan-
disc. and railway earnings in three
weeks OF March were SO per cent.
larger than in 1904.
Official returns make the cotton
crop fully third larger than the one
preceding, and still prices are far
from demoralized. With the subsi-
dence of floods the mills have re-
sumed, water traffic is heavy, and the
percentage of unemployed is season
ably reduced. Buyers are arriving in
large numbers at the leading jobbing
centers.
immigration continues TO surpass
all records and International markets
improve as conclusion of the war
seems imminent. Foreign commerce
at this port for the last week showed
a gain of $2,404617 in imports and
decrease of $S17924 in exports, as
compared with 1904.
A steady demand is noted in all de-
partments of the iron and steel indus
try, orders constantly coming forward
and most plants are assured of ac-
tivity for many months, while some
mills decline contracts for shipment
any time before 1906 Mild weather
improves the quality of hides, espe-
cially from the Southwest, and the
tone of the market is decidedly firmer.
New England footwear factories are
receiving a fair amount of new bust |
ness from statesmen at the West, and |
duplicate spring contracts also ar
rive, calling for immediate delivery |
A better feeling is noted in the pri- |
mary market for cotton goods. More |
inquiries are received from China, but |
there is little prospect that desired |
deliveries can be made, as some lines
are under order up to next February. |
Woolen and worsted duplicate trade |
is quiet.
Failures this week numbered 244 in
the United States, against 20S last |
year, and 93 in Canada compared with
l6 a year ago.
