ENTIRE FAMILY OF A LAWYER Is

ing of wife and two children, Ellen,

with servant, Annie Wells, lost their
lives in a fire which partially destroy
ed the brownstone dwelling occupied
by them at 1873 West One Hundred and
Thirtieth street early Sunday morning.
Although neighbors say they heard
cries of murder" and burglars the
police found nothing to indicate that
the fire was not accidental The whole
family appears to have been suffocat-
ed. The bodies of the father and
youngest child were untouched by the
flames, and those of the others were
probably burned after they had died.
A policeman and a neighbor who
heard the cries attempted to get into
the house by breaking windows on the
parlor floor, but were driven back by
the smoke. The firemen were unable
to enter until after the lower part of
the house and the halls had been
burned out.
The, charred bodies of Mrs. Mason,
the servant. and four-year-old child
were found in a closet under the roof
scuttle, through which they are sup
posed to have been attempting to es-
cape. The bodies of Mr.. Mason and
the younger child were in a bedroom.

sMueaLED IN VAST QUANTt-.
TIES OF JEWELS.
CLEVELAND WOMAN DISPENSED
VALUABLE GEMS WITH A
LAVISH HAND! ~

j, Cleveland, Jan. 16.-The Plaindealer
says investigation into the charges
that Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, SNUG,
gled large quantities of diamonds,
gems and other precious Stones into
this country has developed the fact
that the woman brought in precious
stones to an almost fabulous extent.
In order to make case on the charge
Of smuggling it was found necessary
for the government officials to trace
all the deals for gems and jewelry
made by Mrs. Chadwick both in this
country and Europe.
The statement has been made by
Collector of Customs Leech that con-
siderably over $4,000 worth of jew
elry and precious stones handled by
Mrs. Chadwick had been traced and
positively located. The investigation
is still in progress. OF this amount
the government is directly interested
In about one-third. While the govern
'ment is attempting simply to collect
any unpaid duty on diamonds brought
from Europe it is asserted that all the
information secured through the in
vestigation will be placed at the dis
posal of Receiver Loeser and that he
will be able to realize thousands of
dollars for the creditors of the woman.
Gave Gems to Her Friends.
The Investigation has led to the dis
fhof only q cvnon n0rfi0r, Of
the precious stones and jewelry was
put up for collateral for the loans
made by Mrs. Chadwick and that by
far the greater portion went as gifts
to friends and acquaintances.
The regular custom rate of duty on
diamonds and jewelry brought to this
country is IA per cent of the value of
the goods. The government authori-
ties expect to realize between $4,000
and $4,000. =
The rest of the proceeds from the
sale of any jewelry on which duty has
not been paid will be turned over to
Mr.. Loeser to be distributed among
the Chadwick creditors.
1t is simply the truth to say Mrs.
Chadwick has handled pearls, rubies,
sapphires, emeralds and garnets al
most literally by the peck, said a gov
eminent official, testimony by experts
showing that the woman did not han
die anything but the finest articles and
there is scarcely a penny's worth of
cheap jewelry in the entire lot that has
been traced. BY far the greater por-
ton of the jewelry Is in the hands of
innocent persons scattered all over the
country.
