Chad wick arrived in this country today on the steamship Pretoria, ran the gauntlet of the big crowds which had waited for hours to see him, was hauled to the Hobo ken police headquarters and to the re- corders court and finally left for Cleve- land. not as a prisoner but as the guest of Sheriff Barry who had come from Ohio with warrant for the doctors ar rest, which he did not serve. After the trying ordeal of the day, Dr. Chadwick appeared cheerful when he and Sheriff Barry arrived at the Pennsylvania depot in Jersey City this afternoon to take the 5.15 train for Cleveland.
 Sheriff Barry had left Dr. Chadwick and his daughter. Miss Mary Chadwick, at a hotel in Hoboken while he came to New York to attend to some business. The sheriff returned to the hotel early in the afternoon and he and Dr. Chad wick rode to the depot in a cab. During an hours wait at the station Dr. Chad wick talked of his travels, but declined to discuss his wifes troubles or his own.
 His daughter remained in Hoboken and ir. few days will go to Jacksonville, Fla. The doctors departure was detained sev- ei al hours in order that he might ar range for Miss Chadwick's trip south.
