IN&LUICH OF MONEYLENDERS Woman Who Hypnotized Bankers Tells Story of High Commissions for, Loans and Great Pur chases of Jewels. CLEVELAND, O., March 24. In the bankrupty court today Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick detailed some of her financial transactions, during an examination by Louis J. Grossman, attorney for Nathan Loesor, the trustee. Mrs. Chadwlck said that she was not able to give as many details of the transaction as she would like, because of the absence of papers which were at present in a number of cities. She had sent for the paper. and expected to have them when the hearing is continued nest Thursday. She testified that her total debts would not exceed 5750.000. Of this sum, borrowed from vari ous persons, she had received only $517, 000. leaving J2C8.O00 for commissions to the .money lenders. She Bald she owed certain banks In Cleveland $200,000. The names of three of these Institutions she was willing to give to Mr. Loeeer pri vately. Mrs. Chadwlck walked from the County Jail to the bankruptcy court this after noon, a distance of about a block. She looked well and appeared cheerful. She expressed her willingness to tell all that she could of her financial affairs. Some of the Questions that were put to her were not answered because she did not care to give a reply from memory. The examination disclosed additional assets of $200,000. Of this amount, $58,000 is aue unanes H. Stewart, of Cleveland, and $150,000 Is in Jewe'lry held by Wolfers Bros., of Brussels, Belgium. Mrs. Chad wlck asserted that there were other as sets, consisting of Jewelry and valuable articles held by other persons for her. The examination was conducted In the presence of Mrs. CJiadwick's four attor neys, who at times interposed an objec tion to the questions of Mr. Grossman. Mrs. Chadwlck frequently consulted with her attorneys before she replied to some of the questions. Willing to Tell, but Needs Papers. Mr. Grossman -opened by savin? ha be lieved that Mrs. Chadwlck owed 52,000,000 ana nad $100,000 In discovered assets. He askeS Mrs. Chadwlck to assist the trustee for the creditors in finding all her nron- crty. This Mrs. Chadwlck said she was willing to do. but "said tho naners she had sent for would not be In her posses sion until next week. She said these papers were mattered around In Cleve land, Pittsburg and other cities. She said the papers would show where- hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property "was and svould also make known what sums of money she had borrowed. She denied that fler debts would amount to $2,000,000. She said that $750,000. which she made public,, would include the bonuses paid for loans. Relative to the suit of Herbert D. New ton, of Brookllne, Mass., to recover $150, 00 lent by him. Mrs. Chadwlck said she was not Indebted to Mr. Newton for that amount. She said Mr. Newton held her paper for that sum, but that she did not recolve that much money from him. High Commission for Loans. "How much did he give you, actually?' Mr. Grossman asked. "It would represent $78,000," replied Mrs. Chadwlck. "I obtained $28,000in money. and notes for the rest. Two $15,000 notes were applied on an old debt, and two $10,000 notes were negotiated. I realized $1000 on one and $4000 on the other." "Does tho difference between $73)000 and isu,800 represent the commission? "Yes." '"Where are these notes?" "One is in Oberlih, one for $10,000, and tne otner $10,000 note is In Europe." "Who has the note in Europe?" "G. R. Cutler, a Brussels broker." "Where are the two tlo.000 notes?" "Taey are with a banker. I would rather not mention his name." "Then you paid $112,800 commission for tne jewton loans?" "Yes." Mrs. Chadwlck said she had received $75,000 from James A. Friend, of Pittsbure. For this she said she. gave him notes for $150,000. She said that Mr. Friend had assisted her In making loans to the amount of $150,000. For this she gave him 000 she said she received the entire sum Mrs. Chadwlck said $225,000 was the total of her indebtedness in Pittsburg. Rope of Pearls Worth $60,000. Mrs. Chadwlck said that beside the Jew elry held in Pittsburg, Henry Wurst, of fcuyna. ana L.udwlg Nlssen. of New York. bad in their possession Jewelry belonging to her that had been taken as security for loans. She said she believed Mr. Nls sen had sold a ropo of pearls valued as high as $60,000. given on a loan of $17,000. Mrs. Chadwlck also gave her note to Mr. Nisson for a loan, but, the note having been renewed time and again, Mr. Nls sen finally sold the rope pf pearls. To the question by Mr. Grossman . whether she had any Jewelry in Europe, jars. unaawicK replied: "There is some in the hands of Wolfers Bros., of Brussels." "What is that transaction?" "That was jewelry I bought abroad and left with Wolfers Bros, to set. It -was not paljl for. as it was purchased under contract to be paid for If it suited. Wolf ers Bros, sent their bill and I paid $10,000 on lu Tne job was to take about a year. aney are now suing me." Jewels Cost $150,000 to 200,000. "What was the cost of the jewelry?" "I do not remember exactly. I think it was between $150,000 and $200,000." "Any one else abroad who holds any of your jewelry? "No, sir." "Any other property, laces or furs?" "I would rather tell you in private." "Is there any other property in this country held for loans?" I cannot say without the papers." "While you were In New York the last time you -sent Emil, your son, to the Cleveland Trust Company. What was in that package "Just letters. Some that do pot relate to this matter at all, and others, that re lated to the property In Europe. To get money in ew xork I nad to have those letters. "In the past two or three years you had dealings with the Raymond & Whit comb Company, steamship agents and bankers. What were they? This .paper would indicate that you owe them $105,- CSS.7Z. Can you explain itr. "I must have time to look at th.e paper. They cashed my Cleveland checks. Ther ! was a shortage, and some trouble with i a cashier. I do not know what my ac- j count 1b with them- Here la a contract with them whereby you are to lend Mr. Whitcomb $75,307. Were you able-lo make the loan at inat timer That loan was never executed, it was not to he a loan at all, but an exchange ! of property." "You borrowed a large sum from W. v. Coons, a broker. Do you remember the amounts?" The first loan was $55,000. I gave mm notes for $37,500." "Whon were they made payawe." "Within five days." High Interest and Commissions. "What represents the difference between $85,000 and $97,500?" Before this loan was paid, Mrs. Chad wlck said, she had paid $100,000 ior It be cause of renewals at Increased interest and commissions. Mrs. Chadwlck was asked if Ira Rey nolds, secretary and treasurer of the for mer Wade Park Bank, owed her any money. She replied: "Not a cent," and to tne question if sno owed him anything, she replied that it was only a small amount. She would not give the figures. She said there was no security for It. Asked If she had ever made any loans to deceive Chadwick's brother in Jack sonville, Fla., Mrs. Chadwlck replied that-l she had not. She said that she paid him some $12,000 or $15,000 due the Chadwlck estate, and that he had no property be longing to her. She added that the doc tor's brother in Minnesota did not hold any property belonging to her. She ad mitted that her husband owed his brother in Minnesota $10,000 or $15,000. and that she was on the paper. A third brother of Dr. Chadwlck in Franklin. Pa., she said, did not owe her anything. She had paid claims on the estate for her husband to the brother In Franklin similar to those paid the brother In Minnesota. The examination was postponed unm Thursday afternoon. CRISIS AT HAND BETWEEN NOR WAY ANP SWEDEN. Nansen Says Norway Will Insist. on Separate Consulates at Any Cost Nations Disagree on Tariff LONDON. March 24. Dr. "Nansen. the Arctic explorer, who la making a short stay in London to discuss scientific mat ters with the Royal Geographical Society, being Interviewed on the consular diffi culty between Norway and Sweden, said that the situation was graver than under stood abroad and that there was a very serious danger to the union if Sweden persisted In refusing Norway's undiluted rights. Then, explaining the history of the dis pute la detail. Dr. Nansesn said that the consular question involved a test as to whether Sweden was prepared, honestly and honorably to carry out the treaty of union, or whether Norway was to become mere Swedish dependency. Owing" to the fact that Sweden is protectionist and Norway free trade, and because of Nor way's extensive sea trade and other di- ergencies of commercial Interests. Dr. Nansen said it was absolutely essential for Norway to have her own consular Service; but since Sweden's breach of faith In her failure to carry out the agree ment on the subject arranged In 1902, the Norwegians were reluctantly driven to the conclusion that it was useless to enter into further negotiations. "We wish the union maintained," Dr. Nansen declared, "but it must be on the unalterable foundation of equal rights of both states. No government that can possibly come Into power In Norway will adopt any other policy." IRRIGATION CONGRESS PLANS National Session Will Be Held in Portland This Summer. The National Irrigation Congress will hold Its annual convention In Portland August 21, 22, 23 and 24. This association, of which the Oregon Irrigation Associa tion is a part, finds its field of useful ness In all that the name implies. The Oregon association expresses Its purpose In the words of President Roose velt as follows: . The water supply itself depends upon tho forest. In the arid region it is water, not land, n-pilch measures production. The west ern half of the United States would sustain a population greater than that of our whole country today If the waters that now run to waste were saved and used for Irrigation. The forest and water problems are perhaps the most vital internal questions of the United States. The reclamation and settlement or the arid lands will enrich erety portion of our country. Just as the settlement of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys brought prosperity to the Atlantic States. The increased de mand for manufactured articles will stimu late industrial production, while wider home markets and the trade of Asia wilt coniumo the larger food supplies and effectually pre vent western competition with eastern agri culture. Indeed, the products of irrigation will be consumed chiefly In upbuilding local centers of mining and other Industries. which would not otherwise come into ex istence at all. Our people as a whole will profit, for successful home-making Is but an other name for the upbuilding of the Nation. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. The main Idea worked upon by this organization Is that of the reclamation of arid, lands. Its president is Governor George C. Pardee, of California. The Or egon officers of the National Congress are Hon. E. L. Smith, vlce-president-at large; Judge Stephen A. Lowell, vice-president for Oregon; Tom Richardson, secre- tary-at-large, and A. King Wilson, mem ber of the executive commlttee-at-large. The members of the Oregon Irrigation Association are: E. M. Brannick, Presi dent Portland. Or.: Stephen A. LowelL first vice-president, Pendleton; F. W. Met calf, second vice-president, Ontario; A. King Wilson, secretary. Portland; A. H. Devers, treasurer,' Portland. GETS AT FACTS.

When It adjourned this afternoon its work was continued until Monday. HE GOT IMPORTANT EVIDENCE Burnett Satisfied With New York Giand Jury's Work. NEW YORK, March 21. Important evi dence is said to have been adduced in the so-called beef trust Investigations now in progress here. In conjunction with that before the Federal Grand Jury in Chi cago. Six witnesses were examined at one sitting, five of whom were, it is un derstood, former employes of the pack lng- companies. "It would be unlawful and highly im proper for me to disclose any of the de tails of the investigation." said Joel M. Marx, who is associated with District At torney Burnett in the investigation In Chicago, "but I am free to say the re- suits or Thursday's work were exceeding ly satisfactory." Although the grand Jury has been ex cused until next week, the inquiry has not been concluded. How many other witnesses will be summoned could not be learned, but it is probable the hearing will be continued for at least another week, and' perhaps longer. District At torney Burnett is in. frequent communi cation with the authorities in Chicago and. is acting in accord -with the investi gation being conducted there. Within a short time it is said he will .forward a statement of the evidence obtained here to the Chicago authorities for compari son with that obtained there. Rope Trust at End of Its Rope. TRENTON. N. J., March 24. The Manhattan Trust Company today filed a bill in the Court of Chancery to fore close a mortgage of $3,000,000 on the property of the Standard Bope & Twine Company, which Is now in the hands of receivers. The receivers are made party defendants. It is set out in the bill that on the same day the mortgage was given to the Manhattan Trust Company another mortgage for $7,500,000 was trlven to the Central Trust Company. The Manhattan Trust Company claims that its mortgage takes priority of lien over the mort gage given to the Central Trust Com pany. These mortgages were given to guarantee the outstanding of the com pany. MAYf DISSOLVE THE UNION VOTES CONFIDENCE IN TITTONI Italian Chamber Upholds New Pre mier After Hearing His Policy. ROME March 21. The Italian Cabinet. headed by Acting Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs Tlttoni, received a vote of confidence in the Chamber of Deputies today, tne government's majority being liO. The majority obtained by Sigrior TittonI is also favorable to SIgnor Fortis (who on March 16 was commissioned to organ ize a Cabinet, but declined the task), who In a speech eet forth his programme, agreelngywith that of SIgnor TittonI, chiefly in protecting the state against the threats of the Clericals, but proclaiming that one of the greatest conquest? by a ration Is liberty of conscience. He also proclaimed the necessity of having the railways under control of the state, and of adopting measures for the prevention of strikes. As the members of the old Giolitti Cabi net only returned to Parliament in order to bring about a vote which would show that their policy was supported by the majority, it is expected that the Minis ters will now resign and that King Victor Emmanuel will once more request SIgnor Fortls to form a new Cabinet, In which SIgnor Tlttoni will remain as Foreign Minister.
