THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER. 1, IMi. FRIENDS TO HER AID Mrs. Chadwick Will Pay the Newton. Claim in Full. SHE IS NOW SERIOUSLY ILL One of Cleveland Woman's Lawyers Declares Her Obligations Approx imate $1,000,000 he Has Not Attempted Suicide. KEW YORK. Nov. 30. "Mrs. Cassle U Chadwick will 6o.ttle the claim of Herbert B. Newton, oi HrooKiine, jaass. for $190,000 upon a cash basis and In fulL" This was tho statement made today by George Hyall, of counsel in Now j i'ork for Mr. Newton. "I have seen Mrs Chadwick at her apartments at the Holland House to day," Mr. Ryall said, "and as a result of "my talk with her, I am able to say the case will be sottled within a few days satisfactorily to my client. The settlement will be upon a cash baKi and our claim will be paid in full. "Mrs. Chadwick has many powerful friends, both in this city and in Cleve land, who are Interested in her case, and the matter will bo settled out of court amicably. Of course, I am in terested only in the settlement of Mr. Kewton's claims, and iL know nothing about any other claims against her. The hearing against her set for trial in Cleveland for tomorrow will be ad journed by request, pending the ar rangements now progressing here for settlement I expect within the next 24 hours to have the terras of settlement arranged so as to make a definite statement in the matter. "Mrs. Chadwick is indignant at the published stories connecting her with another woman," continued Mr. Ryall. "and when the case has been settled, she is very liable to bring Buit against some people. She also denies the story to the effect that several banks are involved in her case." Mr Ryall declined to discuss tho al leged Carnegie indorsement of one of Mrfw Chadwlck's notes, saying: "What is the use of talking of that now as the case is to be settled?" Mrs. Chadwick Seriously III. Mrs. Chadwick is seriously ill at the Holland House. Two maids and a nurse are in constant attendance, and a phy sician is always within call. While the greatest secrecy is maintained at the hotel, it is said Mrs. Chadwick is on the verge of a nervous breakdown as a result of the publicity Tvhich has fol lowed the Newton suit. Up to yesterday, while it was believed that Mrs. Chadwick iras still at the Holland House, where she registered last week, there was no certainty that hhe had not lef the city. At the hotel it was said she left there several days ego and that her whereabouts were not known. When a report reached the police that Mrs. Chadwick had com mitted suicide, a prompt investigation disproved the suicide report, but es tablished beyond question that she was Ftill at the hotel. Philip Carpenter, one of Mrs. Chad wick's attorneys, gave out the fol lowing statement: "Mrs. Chadwick states that Mr. Car negie never has .had any connection will) her affairs. The statements that have appeared in the press to the con trary pre untrue. She s too ill to make any general statement at this time." Edward W. Powers, of counsel for Mir. Chadwick, said today that many of the claims against Mrs. Chadwick will never be recognized in a legal court. "Just how many claims there are I do not know',' said Mr. Powers. "Will these claims aggregate $1,000, 000?" was asked. Mr. Powers paused for a considerable time before replying, and then said: "Woll, approximately; you can put it at that sum. For all I know there may bo claims for $20,000,000 against her, but all legal claims will be met, as she is an nonest woman. "Has she enough money to meet the claims or 51,000,000." 'Tos, more than enough," was the repiy. NO INTENTION OF ENDING LIFE Mrs. Chadwick Wires Cleveland .Papers. Wi.t.viiijAID, O., Nov. 30. Mrs. C. Lu Chadwick wired the Evening News and Herald as follows from New York today: "Please deny reported suicide, and fur ther say I have no intention of commit ung any such act C. L. CHADWICK.' While there were no sensational devel opments in connection with the Chadwick case nere today, the matter continued to be the all-absorbing topic of conversation There are many bankers and business men in ihe city hai'lng had extensive dealings with Mrs. Chadwick. who ex press the strong belief that she will make good all the claims against her. A orom lnent man "who desires his name be not used declared today that he had at one time seen bonds and other securities in the possession of Mrs. Chadwick to the value of not less than 51.000.000. It de rolops that Mrs. Chadwick has been most liberal with her gifts to charitable insti tutlons, many of them having received iarge sums from her.

COAST DEFENSE IS DEFICIENT Chief of Artillery Shows Need of Both Men and Material. WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. Brigadier General Storey, chief of artillery. United States Army, in his annual re port to General Chaffee, the chief of staff, dwells upon -what he regards as the most urgent demands of the coast defenses. He says the best and most economical use of the entire arm ament for the coast requires one com plete relief to man each and every ele ment of defense and adds: "It is inconceivable that Congress, after appropriating millions for Na tional defense, would be willing if its attention -were drawn to the fact to leave this defense Ineffective for want of a proper organization to man and conduct it." He says if torpedoes are co-operated with proper armament as at Port Arthur and Vladivostok, it Is not probable that any enemy, however en terprising, would attempt to force their line of defense. "To secure at the present time," he continues, "the greatest measure of Na tional safety at tho least cost, the en tire torpedo defense of our harbors should at once be made complete, and it would be criminal neglect if I did not urge, as earnest as I can, the im mediate completion of the torpedo de fense of all our fortified ports. To day this defense is lamentably deficient both in material and personnel Continuing, General Storey says: Tf we -were suddenly confronted by war, no amount of money could procure sub marine mines in time to be of service for our harbor defense. The materials for such defense are made only to fill orders, and their delivery would occupy many months and only such as might be on hand could be utilized for an early attack." Tho report further says that even with complete material for torpedo de fense, it Is practically valueless with out a trained personnel carefully in structed how to operate it, and that today we are practically without such a force. Only about 400 men can be as signed, he says, for a service requiring about 6000, It would be unwise, the re port remarks, to attempt to provide a personnel for the submarine defense from the force of Coast artillery, since tliere are today only one-half the num bers of officers and men required to man and serve the armament already provided. General Storey says there has been developed in our Coast artillery a sys tem of fire action, which, as far as he can ascertain, is not equaled in the world, but Its accomplishment, he .says. depends on a standard equipment. which Is not completely installed in any of our harbors. He says that they have to improvise in many ha.rbor3 means of position-finding, in order to conduct artillery practice. "The poor showing made by tho Rus sian coast artillery at Port Arthur against the Japanese fleet has caused surprise," the report recites, "but the explanation is that the artillery there. when the ranges are 10,000 to 12,000 metres, .does not shoot at all or shoots without results. "It would be impossible if we have our position-finding equipment com pletely installed, for hostile vessels to remain 10,000 or 12,000 metres from our batteries of 12-inch guns or mortars for two or three hours and not be de stroyed. I regret, however, to have to say that even at this day, most of our fortified harbors are not better supplied with a position-finding equlp- mont ioiin apparently is ruru .ruiur. If a war -were to break out, -we would not have the trained force required to serve our guns effectively. However good our guns arc, in this connection one-half of them would not be ot much more use than so many tons of crude metal. General Storey is of the opinion that the field artillery falls 15 batteries short of tho number tactically needed for tho present infantry and cavalry organizations, and In this connection says: "Thore is no first-class power which ha3 so systematically neglected its field artillery as the United States." Denmark Will Join in Peace Congress WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. Denmark has formally accepted the Invitation of the President to the powers to a second con ference at The Hague. Her Minister re ferred to the special importance of Den mark defining and fixing more satisfac torily many of the questions alluded to In the American invitation and cited In stances. In which the location and geo graphical peculiarities of Denmark had caused embarrassment in its efforts to preserve neutrality. He added that the fact that Denmark is a comparatively small and weak power Is in Itself a strong reason for co-operating In all internation al movements In the direction of elim inating war as a mode of settling dis putes.

JJtAUD AND LIES EXPOSED (Continued from First Page) Mrs. Watson at the same time, while down town. He had been introduced to her by Puter. "Did McKlnley over say anything more about the lands?" asked Mr. Heney. J "Something came up about it and Mc Klnley said he would have to prove up before a special agent." "Was there ever anything said as to what you was to receive out of the deal?" questioned the lawyer. "At the tltrae the filings were made, replied Mr. Montague. "It was said that if they could buy the lands cheap and sell them for more that I should have a share In the profits." The witness was excused without cross-examination. Mon tague has been under a great nervous strain resultant from his share in the transaction, and is on the verge of a nervous collapse. Another Witness Called. W. F. Hammer, County Clerk of Linn County in 1900 and 1S02, was the next wit ness. He testified that he had not been aware of the fact that his deputy was signing his name to proofs when the par ties had not appeared4 before him. He corroborated the testimony of his deputy In regard to tho signatures on tho papers. Ho had seen McKlnley about the office with Montague and had noticed them "In the private office and the vault. He had seen Tarpley. Puter and Watson all in the office. On the cross-examination. Judge Pipes for the first time in the case showed the hand of the prosecution, but tho glimpse was slight. He drew from the witness the fact that W. W. Banks, a deputy in Mr. Hall's office, had accom panied Colonel A. R. Greene to his farm near Haystack and had accused him of the crime of complicity with the con spirators in the frauds. He elicited the statement that Banks had not believed his denials and had threatened to force him to tell what he knew. Hammer had made a statement which he had signed and which was produced in court. The court sustained the prosecution la objec tlon to the course of examination, but al lowed the witness to tell what had hap pened at the Interview. The examination was made with a view to attacking the reliability of the witness. Miss' Mida McCoy sprung another sen satlon by connecting C A. Hardy, at torney for Marie Ware, with the chang ing of the name In the George A. Howe abstract. Miss McCoy Is the stenographer in tho office of the Uan County Abstract Company. She testified that" she had known McKlnley and had done work for -him, especially in 1901. She remembered having furnished abstracts for the Gra' Iiam Thompson and George A. Howe claims. "Who ordered the Howe abstract?" asked Mr. Heney. "Horaco G. McKlnley ordorcd it over tne telephone, answered the witness. "To whom was it delivered?" "It was sent to Mr. McKlnley," was tho answer. "Did It come back?" asked Mr. Heney. "Yes. At the time of delivery it had the name of McKlnley as having been me one wno ordered It. ' wnen was It changed?" was the next question. "A short time after Mr. Hardy came In and had the name of McKlnley changed io mm ot xiowe. Blow at Hardy. The audience and tho lurv sat un kmH. denly while Mr. Hardy looked like i man who had been hit In the back. w as It the lawyer now In the room?' asked Mr. Heney. , Yes. said ths n-Itnocc "If w Before leaving the stand Miss MeCov was cross-examined by Mr. Hardy as to her statement conrnlnir him. - Are ypu willmg to swear that I brought imu ausirdCl! - flf, asKec. You came Into tho office nnrf 'hair n change made In the abstract." Mntomi me witness, x don't remember havinir seen you there but once." Miss McCoy, however, was not certain that it rrn. tho Howe abstract that Mr. Hardv Timi Drougnt. - A. R. rGeene was the next witness. He was called to connect Frank H. Wolgamot with the little difficulty now pending, and did his task well. He told of having gono to the office of Dr. Wolgamot and havincr partly prepared a statement, .which the doctor was to have signed in relation to his timber claim. He was InterruDted by the noon hour, and did not complete the paper, and when afterwards asked to have the business finished the defendant refused to have anything to do with the statement. Wolgamot had told at that time that one of his witnesses, Charles Burley. was In California, but that the other, James W1I son. was a peanut butcher on the South crn Pacific He further identified Wileon as having a limp. A short time after that Mr. Greene had gone back with Tom R. Wilson, now era ployed at the Penitentiary, and Special Agent Dixon. Wilson had been a news boy on the Southern Pacific and was lame. When re introduced him to Wol gamot the -doctor had not known him. At the time the doctor would not make any statement and dosed tho interview by leaving the room. In cross-examination Mr. Pipes tried to show that the Inspector had Insulted Dr. Wolgamot by calling his truthfulness Into question, which unjust accusation had so enraged the dentist that he had ordered the Government officials out of his place. This was denied. The testimony of Colonel Greene was corroborated by that of Mr. Dixon, who had accompanied him to the office. John P. Marshall was the last witness of the day", and was a damaging one. He Is cashlor of tho Ainsworth National Bank and Is a handwriting expert of long experience. Mr. Marshall has been working on .the Holiday Suggestions r Art Department Europe is the home of art. From all over that wondrous land, contribu tions of the most notable have, found way into our establishment. Only the leading factories were visited by our foreign buyer. This season, more than ever before, has he been particularly active in procuring reproduc tions from the most famous masters. It will fully repay any one to spend a few spare moments to witriess the glittering splendor that prevails. A gift from this department can only bring pleasure, and the attractiveness in price will be only too tempting for thought. . ' 7 questions Involved In the forgery side of the case for a long time, and has many interesting conclusions. By the aid of enlarged photographs of the signatures taken from the bonds filed with the court as a standard, the witness compared the signatures of ' S. A. D. Puter. Frank H. Wolgamot. Mario Ware, D. W. Tarpley. Horace G. McKlr- ley ana Kmma I, vatson. found In the original Instruments as well as the test of many of the documents. By his Illustration. Mr. Marshall showed that the signatures of Joseph Wilson in the Wilklns case had been forged by Horace G. McKlnley. In the George A. Graham and the George Pettis cases tho signatures of Graham and Pettis were shown by the witness to have been made by soma one with tho handwriting of Miss McCoy as a standard. This was' true in the signa ture of Edward Reea In the Foster case. The George A. Howe signature was proved to be of similar character to the writing of Horaco G. McKlnley, and fur ther proof will show that it was forged by McKlnley, so it Is claimed by the prosecution. The Emmo-Porter and Emma Watson signatures were -provcit -beyond a doubt to have been written by the same hand. Today it will be shown by the same witness that Marie Ware forged the name of Mattic S. Lowell. MITCHELL CANNOT COME. Senator Says "He Is Too Busy to Testify in Land Case. The prosecution will not br able to se cure the testimony of Senator John H. Mitchell In the land fraud case now on trial, for the reason that the Senator Is too busy to leave Washington. It was desired by the prosecution to show that the Senator had received the affidavits of Puter and Watson, which tin had In Vara sent to Mr. Hermann, as Com missioner of tho General Land Office. It was also desired to use the Senator In clearing up the blank left by the tes timony of Mr. Hermann In relation to the letters sent by tho Senator to him and answered. In which the Senator had askd for the expedition of the disputed cases. and the Commissioner had answered. showing that ho had headed the request. W. A. Richards, who was called to clear up the mystery, according to the ruling of the court could not give all of the testimony that he was prepared to give In regard to tho circumstance. He was pre pared to state that he had met Puter on a letter of Introduction from a prominent Portland attorney. Hermann had told him that he was one of the best and most reliable men of Oregon, and that he had known him for a long time. . Mr. Richards had taken a homestead himself in Wyoming before his election as Governor, andwas always inclined to have great sympathy for homesteaders, and gave them the benefit In passing on their claims. The testimony of Mitchell and Hermann had a great deal of weight. therefore, In influencing his action In re gard to the passage of the contested claims represented by Puter and Watson. The telegraphic correspondence relating to the coming of Senator Mitchell i3 as follows: St. Paul. Minn.. Xov. 20. 1904. Francis J. Hcncy. Special Asst. IT. S. Attorney.

S. Marshal there last Saturday to deliver mes sage to you on Sunday's train. He wired that he failed to find you. It Is vitally Important for prosecution to prove by you that Puter and Watson delivered to you their certain affi davits .which you sent to Com. Hermann with your latter dated March 3, 1002, urging- him to make special the 12 cases ot homestead entries referred to In the abstract attaobed. to said affidavit' of Watson and urging conelderatlon thereof without &!ay. V.'l'hout yfcer testi mony tne Government's caso may fall and these guilty rascals go uuwhlppcd of justice, and I therefore urge you to treat this telegram as a subpoena and to return immediately to Portland as a witness for the United. States. The case will not bo concluded before end ot next week. Please wire when you will start and oblige. FRANCIS J. HENBr. Special Assistant to Attorney-General. Washington, D. C. Nov. 25. 1904. Hon. Francis J. Heney, Special Assistant to the Attorney-General, Care Hon. John Hall, U. 5. District Attorney, Portland, Oregon: Tour tele gram of yesterday reached me 3 o'clock today. It is the first Intimation I have had from any source that my testimony was desired la any of the prosecutions for land frauds In Oregon. Prior to November 15 with the exception of four or five days I was continuously In the City of Portland, Oregon, for four months pre ceding. It was known by thw United States District Attorney, Hall, and many others for more than a week before I left Portland that I intended to leave on the evening of Novem ber 15. at which time I did leavo direct tor Washington, and In all this time no suggestion was made to me by any officer of the Govern ment or by any one else that my testimony was desired. I did pass through St. Paul Sun day morning last, arrivlpg there on the North ern Pacific train at 7:30 o'clock and leaving on the Burlington at 8:20 o'clock for Chicago. Surely every opportunity was open to have had roe subpoenaed or even notified of 'the wish upon tho part of the Government that I should be present at the trial. Had this been done I should have deferred leaving until the trial waa over, as I am very willing and anx ious to give any testimony In my knowledge that will have, any proper tendency to fasten fraud on any of those charged with fraud. But It is simply Impossible for me to leave here now. I have Important engagements In the departments and with committees and also In getting ready for the meeting of the Senate which convenes on December 5. I will here state, and possibly the attorneys for the de fense may be willing to concede that I would bo testify if on the stand, that the affidavits of Emma I. Watson and S. A. D. Puter which were forwarded by me 'to Commis sioner Hermann In my letter of March 3, 1002. were handed me here In Washington by S. A. D. Puter on or about the date of their trans mission to tho Commissioner; that Mr. Ruter, whom I had never seen before to my knowl edge, came to me and -asked niy assistance In getting the 12 cases of homestead entries re ferred tcr made special. At that -time be brought a letter of introduction to me from a prominent and reliable attorney of Oregon vouching for his reliability. This Is my whoI Information in regard to the matter. I took it for granted, of course, that the affidavits were true andytaklng them to be true very strong reasons were presented why early action should be had In the Land Department, and hence ray letter transmitting the affidavits to the Commissioner. JOHN H- MITCHELL.. Portland. Nov. 2S. 1004. Hon. John H. Mitchell. U. S. Senate, Washington. D. C: De fendants' attorneys refuse to admit truth of statements contained In your telegram to me of yesterday. Your testimony Is still vitally Important to Government. United States At torney Hall did not consider your testimony lmportapt when you were here, bst he now agrees with me as to Its materiality and great Importance. What was the name of the at torney who gave Puter the letter of Introduc tion to you? Will you. come, and when? FRANCIS J. HENEY. Special Assistant to Attorney-General. Washington. D. C, Nov. 20. 1004. Hon. Francis J. Heney, Special Assistant Attorney. General, Portland, Oregon: Telegram received. As I wired you yesterday for reasons stated in telegram it is simply absolutely impossible for me to go to Oregon at this time. JOHN H. MITCHELL. Portland, Nov. 2S, 1004. Hon. John H. Mitchell, U. S. Senate. Washington. D. C: You neglected to give me the 'name of attorney here who gave Puter the letter ot Introduction to you. Plase wire It immediately so that I can use him as a witness for the Government, and oblige. FRANCIS J. HENEY. Special Assistant to Attorney-General. R. B. Montague, "Not R. W. R. B.- Montague, of Albany, the witness In the land fraud case, should be carefully distinguished from Richard W. Montague, the Portland attorney; The latter has no connection with the land fraud trials. . TO POEM WHITE CE0SS SOCIETY Prominent Chicago Men Are Head ing the Movement. CHICAGO, Nov. 30. A meeting will be held In this city tomorrow afternoon which will have for Its object the organ ization of the American White Cross First Aid Society. The men who have so far been active in the project are Dr. Nich olas Senn, John B. Murphy and Dr. Charles Adams, all of this city. From the present plans, it Is probable that Dr. Senn will direct the active wfirk of the society, and that Miss Clara Barton will at least be made an honorary officer. The objects of the society will be the same as those of the Red Cross Society. Its scope will be as broad as that of the Red Cross, but for the present it will be purely a National organization. The plans of the projectors are to spread the organ ization through the National Guards of the various states. Alteration of Tickets Not Forgery. DENVER, Nov. 30. On the ground that the law does not make the altera tion of figures on a railroad ticket a crime. Judge Mulllns took from the jury tho case of A. L. Hatch and E- E. Sissons, who for ten days have been on trial In the West Side Court for the alleged forging of railroad tickets, and set the defendants at liberty. The evi dence introduced by the prosecution tended to show that tho defendant had changed and plugged numbers and dates in tickets, but not that they had forged, signatures, and a motion made by Attorney O. I. Hilton, represent ing the defendants, to dismiss the case was sustained by tho court. Slapped Otto Prag. After ordering and eating a meal at the Crcamerle restaurant at 1 o'clock ths morning. Frank Scheuech refused to pay fqr it and started to walk away.

Wales assert ed that Senator Piatt has knowledge of the plan furnished by him' to the coal mine leader. Man With a New Graft.

S F GOVERNOR Uses Peruna For Colds and Excellent The Magnificent State Capitol PRAISE PEOM THE P ERUNA is known from the Atlan tic to the Pacific. Letters ot con gratulation and commendation testifying tb the merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every state of the Union. Dr. Hartman Is receiving hundreds of such letters dally. All classes write these, letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti san, the cleric, the editor, the states man, the preacher all agree that Pe runa Is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic In their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca tarrh Is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only absolute safe guard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds. Is to cheat catarrh ot Its victims. , Peruna not only cures catarrh, but prevent it Every hooselold shod be supplied "With this great remedy, for COUghS, colds and SO forth.
