MRS. CHADWICK
GETS TEN YEARS
Frenzied Financier Sentenced to the
Ohio Penitentiary.
NEW TRIAL WAS REFUSED

Cleveland, o., March 2S.- Unless the
higher court interferes, Mrs. Cassie
I. Chadwick will spend the greater
part OF the next 10 years in the Ohio
state penitentiary
A sentence of 10 years was imposed
upon her by Judge Robert w. Tayler,
in the United States district court.
The sentence came at the close of a
busy day for the court in hearing argu-
ments on motion for new trial,
which lasted all day The motion was
oYerruled.
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. Upon two
counts a sentence of one year each
was imposed, making total sentence
of 10 years.
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 count. The de-
Tense intends to make the claim that
the court cannot impose a separate
sentence for each count; that the law
applies to the general charge instead
of each incident of d general charge.
The various counts of the indictment
are considered by the defense to refer
only to details of the general offense.
This point will also 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. When
she was told that the motion for a
new trial had been refused. she merely
nodded her head as if she already
knew. though she is so hard of hearing
she could not have known what words
the court uttered. The court asked
her if she had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced.
She looked around in bewilderment.
She was not certain what was taking
place, and had not the slightest idea
what the court said. She was then led
forward. nearer the bench, and the
court shouted the question. She then
understood.
Il have nothing to say, she said.
"but would like to consult with my
attorneys first"
You may do so, but it must be i'm
mediately" the court enjoined her. IF
you have anything to say you must say
it now
Mrs, Chadwick said there was moth
ing she cared to say herself. Her at
torneys made no appeal to the court,
and the sentence was Immediately i'm
posed.
BY good behavior Mrs. Chadwick can
reduce her time to Imprisonment to
eight years and four months.

nesses In Beef Trust Probe

Chicago, March 20. The federal
grand jury investigating the alleged
beef trust returned an Indictment
against Thomas J. Corners, general
superintendent for Armour & Co. The

The Indictment alleges that John E.
Shields, Of Brooklyn, former employee
of Armour & Co., who has been in
Chicago since the investigation be-
gan was approached, favored and en-
tertained by Mr.. Corners, and specifi-
cally charges that on March 25 the

dicted occurred 1t is also charged that
Shields was given the use of Armour
& Co.'S Offices to transact business
while in Chicago and furnished the
use of a private telegraph wire in the
Office of the packing company An
other allegation is that Corners sug-
gested that the proposed witness
should testify favorably for Armour
e. Co and not tell all that witness
knew concerning the matter under in
vestigation The second count of the
indictment charges that Mr. Corners
did not limit his attempt at inhuenc-
ing witnesses to Mr.. Shields, but that
other witnesses, who have not as yet
appeared in Chicago, have been ap-
preached by Corners and attempts
made to influence them as to the ma
ture of testimony to be given.

MINERS MAY STRIKE
Joint Conference Fails to Agree On
Soft Coal Wage Scale.

Soft Coal Wage Scale.
Altoona, Pa, March 30.-The opera
tors and miners of the central bitumin-
Gus district of Pennsylvania, after be-
ing in conference in this city almost
continuously since March 16, endeavor-
ing to agree upon wage scale to go
into effect April 1, adjourned finally
without coming to an agreement. The
failure to agree means suspension of
work by the 5000 organized miners of
the district at the end of the present
month. When the joint wage scale
committee met the operators stood
upon their proposition for a 10 per
cent. reduction for the first half of the
approaching mining year, and the pres
ent scale, based upon 62 cents for pick
mining, for the second half of the year.
The miners ultimatum demanded a re-
newal of the present scale for the full
year No agreement being possible,
the scale committee adjourned finally.
The action of the miners on the COM
mittee was approved by the miners
convention, which then adjourned. It
was decided to meet next year in Clear
field. Pa.

A Fearful Crisis Bravely Met.

The writer of this appreciation, who con-
versed with Mr. Cortelyou many times each
day during that period of stress, can bear
personal testimony TO his fortitude and
services, and when at o'clock in the morn

nounce that the President had passed away,
Mr.. Cortelyou was even then preparing
himself for new chapter OF labors.
After the burial Of Mckinley at Canton
Mr.. Cortelyou remained to administer the
affairs of his estate, and none but the In
innate friends of the family will ever know
the patience and tenderness with which he
transacted the arduous duties that upon him
devolved.
President Roosevelt retained Mr.. Cortel-
you and reapponted him secretary to the
President in 1901. President Roosevelt was
as ready to perceive the qualities of the
man as had been Mckinley and Cleveland.
