for the purpose as she stated, of complet-
ing her testimony as to some OF fqher hnan-
cial dealings Although she has recently
stated that she could reveal certain facts
of importance. nothing OF that nature was
brought out and the bearing ended with
Mrs. Chadwick in condition bordering on
collapse.
Mrs, Chadwick said A,Rt she would make
so1ne further rtatefne tts conforming her
transactions provided that certain persons
whom she alleged have benefited greatly

to the court that the only dealing he had
with Mrs Chadwick was about four years

came excited and almost hystericai and
said she did not wish TO give them in pub

anybody exposed. She said that these per-
sons had been benefited to the extent OF
! hundreds of thousands of dollars by her
and that the money might be recovered for
the benefit Of the creditors If suits Were
begun. Pressed for the names she re.

unnecessary brutality by teams with which
they We're connected and to consider in the
light Of developments changes in the rules

Ready and Adjournment is
Taken Until Today.

MADISON. Wis, Dec. 4.-The legislature,
WHICH has been called together for a special
session by Governor Lafollette, met here
at o'clock this afternoon. but beyond
organizing nothing was accomplished
The anxiously awaited message of the
governor was not ready and an adjourn
ment was taken until $3.50 tomorrow, when
it is understood the message will be re-
ceived and read. Up to tonight the gov
ernor had not made any move showing
what plans he has for the future. There
are those who believe he will resign the
governorship and so 10 the United States

lion that will then follow will try to obtain
the election OF Isaac Stephenson of Mari

contain nobody knows with any degree of

NEW ROAD TO YELLOWSTONE
Oregon short Line TO Extend Branch
from st. Anthony. Idaho, to
Gates of Park.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.--Among the new lines
to be built by the Hartman system this
season. according to the Record Herald,
will be an extension of the Oregon Short
Line from st. Anthony, Idaho, to the
Yellowstone National park, by way of
Marysvile. a distance of seventy-four
miles. The st. Anthony route was aban-
doned years ago for the Monida route into
the park, necessitating a long stage ride
before the park is reached, and on this
account the Oregon Short Line has never
been able to compete with the Northern
Pacific for traffic to the park. With the
completion of the st. Anthony line the
Oregon Short Line will reach the very
gates of the park, enabling the road to
abandon its stage line entirely.
