MRS. CHADWICK NEAR END
The Female Wrecker of an Ohio Bank Dying in the State
 Penitentiary.
HEART FAILURE AND WEAK STOMACH
The Prisoner Collapsed While Talking to Her Son Three Weeks Ago and has not Left her bed Sinc.--Bap' tlzed Into the Catholic Church by tho Prison Chaplain.

Columbus. Ohio. Oct 10,-Mrs. Cas- sic Chadwick Wednesday was reported much worse at the woman's hospital ward in the Ohio penitentiary. Her pulse is very weak and she Is partly delirious. Physicians are making preparations. to stay any sinking spells. They decline to say how long she will survive.
 Mrs. Chadwick is serving a ten year term in the penitentiary for wrecking the first National bank in Oberlin, Ohio. For some days she has been unable to retain nourishment and she is seemingly indifferent to her fate, and apparently resigned to the fact that her end is fast approaching. She has been in the penitentiary since January 12, 1906. and with good time to her credit, would have gotten out November 26, 1911, had the fatal dis case not seized upon her.
 Mrs. Chadwick has been confined to her bed since the first severe attack about three weeks ago when, while ldihliiS tu Hci SUI, sHS Suuuchly SoA- lapsed and was unconscious for some time It was at first hinted that she was playing off in order to excite sympathy and secure a pardon but within a few days it was known that her case was serious and she was placed under the constant care of the prison physician. Her trouble is an at tack of heart failure and weak stom- ach the latter according to the physi- clan being caused directly by in- dulging in rich food When she first came to the prison, Mrs. Chadwick sent to a fashionable restaurant in the city for her meals and ate the richest viands Finally the prison officials ordered that she be compelled to eat he regular prison fare but she still complained of her stomach and grad ually became worse
 She made profession of the Roman Catholic faith Tuesday and the Rite of Baptism was administered to her by the Catholic chaplain of the prison, IS she lay upon her bed.
 Mrs, Chadwick as prisoner has al- ways avoided the public, being satis- lied If she could only be screened from gaze of visitors. She even stunned the gaze of the other prisoners.
 She has never been required to at ,end chapel exercises. This privilege was granted her at her request. It was believed that while her crime was still fresh in the public mind, her presence in the chapel would have drawn an undesirable crowd to the services, The fact that she waived these objections shows she realized that her days are few.
 Her physical weakness is showing its effect upon her mind and while at intervals she is wholly irrational her mind is at no time strong. Mrs. Chad wick is a mere wreck of the woman who was arrested for conspiracy to defraud national banks four years ago.

There is a certain young hopeful who is ambitious to reach the years of discretion. He admires his father very much, and this is the basis TOT the ambition.
 The desire to reach this happy state was voiced not very long ago as the result of midnight conversation wllh the aforesaid father The latter had attended banquet, and for the sake of festive ornamentation he had worn a red rose in his button-hole. upon arriving home everybody was asleep but his smallest son, who sat up in bed and surveyed the paterfamalias. The rose caught his eye
 Papa, where did you get the wed rose?7 he queried.
 Someone gave 1t to me- was the reply.
 Why did they give it to your
 "Oh, I'm hot sport. and everybody gives me flowers" was the offhand re. ply, as the red rose was passed over, and with it clasped tightly he fell asleep.
 The next day he approached his mother.
 Mamma, how long will 1t be before 1 get to be man?"
 Tt will be long time Why do you want to know?'
 Cause want to grow up and be a hot sport like my old man..
 And, after all. who can criticise such laudable ambition?

DIFFER NTH PRESIDENT.
Committee of National Railroad Com missioners Would Have States
 Control Rate Making.
UNIFORM CLASSIFICATION OF FREIGHT
Association Discusses Resolution Asking Congress to Enact Law Re. curing Commerce Commission to Proceed in the Matter at Once Committees to Hasten Matters.

Washington, Oct 11.--Thus far no serious differences of opinion has arisen among the delegates of the National association of Railway com missioners convention and the dispo- sltion to run counter to the federal control of railways is not so strong as at the opening of the convention.
 Two reports on the programme for Thursday, those of Legislation and Rates and Rate-making" were ex- pected to provoke some discussion of general interest, both striking directly at the point of the cleavage between the authorities of the National govern. ment and that of the states as indi. vidual sovereignties.
 The committee on Rates and Rate making takes sharp issue with the National government on the subject of federal control with the committee holding it impossible without amend. ment to the constitution. The com. mittee maintains that the demand oi the people is that the control of rates be lodged as near at home as possible. The committee also urges uniformity of action between the federal and state railway authorities and that, in some instances at least. the state railway commissioners act as agents for the interstate commerce commission.
 o. P. Gathlin, of Ohio, presented a report on Uniform classification" in which he offered | resolution that it was the sense of the convention that Congress enact law requiring the interstate commerce commission at once to proceed to make such uniform classification and when so made the same shall be the legal classification for interstate shipments"
 The report recommended the ap- pointment of special committee to hasten the adoption of a uniform classification of freight.
 Mir. Gathlin explained that the re port meant that no effective action will be taken by the carriers. There is fear among the public" said he, "that If the uniform classification is left to the carriers it will result in a general advance in class rates"
 Commissioner Burr, of Florida maintained that the Interstate Com merce commission ought to have the same central over classification as over rates.
 While 1t is best to give the Inter state Commerce. commission fair trial of the Hepburn act, it is evident that if the commission has no author ity to control classification rates it ought to be given that authority. The railroads employ these classiilcations as favorite method of raising rates. !"
 Mir. Burr maintained that the Inter state Commerce commission has no authority to change rates except upon hearing. The report of the committee was adopted.

Thompson announced Thursday that he will ask the SUI preme court of the United States for writ of mandamus to compel the district judges for Nebraska to re. mand the railroad cases over which Jurisdiction was retained in the feder. al court. These cases involve the en. forcement of the anti-pass. the cent fare. the maximum freight rate bills. MT. Thompson asked the supreme court of Nebraska for injunctions to prevent the railroads from disobeying these laws but the railroads removed the cases to the federal court which refused to sustain a motion to re- manl.

RoRlsTs WAS HoopWINkED
WHEN FORGED ORDER COM
MuTING SENTENCE WAS SENT.

Odessa, Jan. six terrorists have
been saved from the gallows by the re-
sourceful revoluuionists here, who con-
ceived the bold plan of utilizing the
officials cipher to hoodwink the gov
ernor general. The terrorists had been
tried by a court martial and sentenced
to death and were awaiting execution
when the governor general received a
cipher telegram from st. Petersburg
apparently bearing the signature of
General Pavlon, the military procura-
tor conveying the emperor's order TO
commute death sentences to hard la
Dor for life. The order was officially
put in force, but the authorities have
now ascertained that 1t was a clever
forgery on the part of the revolution
lists, who by some means obtained ac-
cess to the governmental private code
and successfully utilized it. Accord
ing to the Russian law, prisoners can
not be executed when once their SEN
tences have been officially commuted
