MRS. CHADWICK sHAMMIN0.
Prison Doctor Says That Incarccra-
tion Has Agreed with Her.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. Mrs.
Cassie Chadwick, who was able to
victimize bankers and get big sums,
has been unable to deceive the OFF,
cials at the Ohio Penitentiary here.
For weeks reports have been cir
culnted that the woman was on the
brink of collapse, as the prison life
and fare had gradually drained her
strength until she was thin and
weak. 1t is thought that Mrs. Chad
wick intended to give this impression
and then lay her case before Presi-
dent Roosevelt and appeal for par
don upon the grounds of broken
health and chastened spirits.
Mrs. Chadwick has frequently said
she could not perform the light tasks
assigned TO her by the matron OF the
woman's department. Each time this
complain was registered DR.. Thomas
was summoned. He always found
her condition was good.
Since she has been In the prison
Mrs. Chadwick's sole ailment has
been indigestion, due to overindul-
gcnce in rich foods. Each night q
cab brings her good dinner from a
restaurant, which costs, on the aver
are, 81. The bill is paid by her Co
lumbus lawyer. From some sou CO
the money flows in upon her and
provides luxuries.

John b. Gleason, was retired to the
back row. He will be present in court
and will advise with the others, but
Mr.. Delmas will take up the exami
nation of witnesses and Mr.. Gleason
will not be heard from.
With the calling of the first wit
ness, the defense entered on the
course criticised by associate coun-
sci. The witness was DR.. Charles H.
Wiley of Pittsburg, who was pre-
sented by Gleason as an alienist and
who admitted. after a show Of great
modesty, that he was specialist in
mental and nervous disorders. Wiley,
In answer to hypothetical question
asked by Gleason, said that at the
time Thaw shot White the prisoner
was insane.
Wiley seemed embarrassed in ex-
pressing an expert opinion In answer
to hypothetical question framed by
Gleason. The witness, after giving
his opinion, admitted hts inability to
describe what Jerome maintained
were FIRST principles" of the subject.
Jerome's cross-examination was spo-
ken OF as one of the most brilliant of
its kind ever heard in a courtroom.
Jerome's knowledge OF mental dis
orders came as great surprise to
those in the room. The District At
torney did not need to be prompted
by any of the experts for the prosecu-
tion. for 1t was evident that he had
studied the subject 80 carefully that
It would have been possible for him
to have qualified as an expert. Jer-
ONE pressed the witness so closely
that several times Wiley explained
that when he took the witness stand
he did not expect toqualify as an ex-
pert. He fought that all the defense
wanted of him was to tell of an in
cident in street car In Pittsburg, in
which Thaw got into fight with the
conductor because the defendant in
sisted on pulling up a blind. When
Gleason suddenly put his hypotheti-
cal question to the physician 1t was
evident that DR.. Wiley was not eager
to reply, but finally he made an an
swer that caused him four and half
searching hours under the cross
examination Of the prosecutor.

OWES AMERICA MUCH
Toxic Laughs at Ultimatum Story
--Kancko Says Public Men Know
Limits OF Federal IAowcr--Japan
Consider L. :. and England Her
Sureties Among Nations.

Toxic. Feb. THE Telegraph
from London reporting newspaper
talk Of possible war between Japan
and the United States, and that Vis-
count Aoki, Japanese Ambassador at
Washington, had handed Secretary
of State Root an ultimatum, are re-
ceived here with laughter, says tho
New York Sun.
The entire absence of warlike feel
Ing In Japan Is explained by Baron
Kaneko, formerly Special Envoy to
United States, who said:
"The Japanese understand Amer
lea better than the Americans un-
derstand Japan. A great majority
of the men holding public positions
here were educated by American in
structors and have long studied
American institutions. Now, through
the press and otherwise they are
helping the people to appreciate the
difficulty the Federal Government
lies under in controlling the action
Of the individual States.
'Bushido's, Japan's moral system
insists that a finger shall never be
raised against a benefactor. Japan
owes her position among the Powers
b America.
''In the matter of the Chinese and
Russian wars, condition were differ
snt Even then Japan yielded point
after point in order to avoid war.
Those governments, she knew, were
hostile. The American Government
and people, with England, are ia
gan's best friends War is unthink-
ahle."
Marquis Ito said that, not even eX-
.epting the late war with Russia, the
greatest modern achievefent of Jap
m was securing a revision of treaties
lhat resulted in the admittance Of
Japan among the civilized Powers. 1t
was not likely that another nation
,ot Christian was ever so admitted.
enabled this.
Continuing M. Yokoi said: War
with America would destroy the An
,po--Japanese alliance and Germany
would step in, intriguing for a Far
Eastern position. Japan would be
completely isolated. She realizes
hat America and England are her
mreties among the Powers. If Great
Britain could not afford to remain
ISOLATED 1t would be suicidal for Jap
.snese statesmen to endanger Japan's
alliance with her or to ALLEVIATE
American sympathy"

In gloomy grandeur as do many
other men of affairs In the evening
he was usually to be found in the
lobby of the Grand Palace Hotel
talking theater, sport or politics with
his friends.
When he went to the various min
Ing camps Of the State, and came
face to face with the miners, his
Judgment was equally good. If the
blunt men of the pick and shovel
asked him uncomfortable questions
about the trust he was prompt to an
swer, and when he came in contact
with a genuine grievance was quick
to remedy 1t.
His use of his money was lavish.
In honor of the birth OF his son he
presented the $4,000 Guggenheim
Hall to Colorado School of Mines, at
Golden, and when he found out that
the college did not have the means
to equip 1t he promptly gave another
$50,0 900 for this purpose.
In 1895, when the Colorado Re-
publicans, led by Teller, walked out
mated Mckinley, Guggenheim was
nominated for Lieutenant Governor
on the ticket of the Silver Republi-
cans. Two years later he was offered
the nomination for Governor. In
both cases he was certain of election,
for not a cOrporal's guard could
have been mustered against the sill
yer ticket. but he refused both times,
saying that he had no ambition for a
political life.

The triumph was overwhelming, a
majority OF forty-four being return

more certain of wearing the toga
than Guggenheim is.
But while Simon's shift to the
white light of Washington may make
the name Guggenheim commoner in
the public prints. 1t cannot add
much to the marvellous record al
ready achieved by the seven sons of
Meyer.

There was no compulsion what
ever that the firm should suffer this
loss. Had there been a profit they
would have been compelled to pay
the outside investors their share.
Consequently division of the losses
would have seemed equally fair.
But the brothers took the loss, be.
cause they wanted to live up to the
precept laid down by their father
the late Meyer, who died in Palm
Beach in 1905.
His business motto was:
Get money, but don't try to Go 4,
