WEALTH i MYTH
"Great Chadwick Bubble
Has Burst
NOTES DEEMED WORTHLESS
Name of Carnegie Apparently
Forged For $13,750,000.
SECURITIES ARE OPENED
Ironmaster Represented to Hold In
Trust Stocks and Property Ira
Reynolds, Who Guarded Pa
per, Is Heavy Loser.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 10. (Special.) It Is
announced hero on what appears to be
unquestionable authority that the signa
ture of Andrew Carnegie has apparently
been forged on notes and other papers to
the total amount of $13,750,0). The securi
ties held by Ira Reynolds', together with
those held by the Citizens' National Bank
of Oberlln, and which have already been
made public, aggregate this amount:
The mysterious "securities" held by
Reynolds in trust, concerning which there
has been so much futile speculation dur
ing the past two weeks, consist of the
following items:
First A noto for the sum of $5,000,000
bearing the signature of Andrew Carne
gie. Second A certificate of trusteeship.
which states that Andrew Carnegie has
in his possession stocks and bonds .to the
amount of $7,500,000 held by him intrust
for Mrs. Chadwick. This paper also bears
the signature of Mr. Carnegie.
These securities, supposd to represent
the vast amount of $12,500,000, havo been
for the past three years the principal base
on which Mrs. Chadwick has conducted
her financial system and on which she
has borrowedsums which it Is conceded
run up to the millions, and are positively
known to exceed $1,000,000.
And the same "securities' aro the rock
which has wrecked the Oberlln Bank and
caused the ruin of hundreds of families and
losses to business houses almost without
number. For It is the frankly expressed
opinion of reputable lawyers who have
examined these papers that they are not
worth one cent.
Moreover, there is bitter Irony In the
fact that the very man who held this
worthless paper so faithfully and tena
ciously for Mrs. Chadwick, and who ap
parently believed In Its worth so Im
plicitly, and through whom others were
perhaps innocently drawn into the schemes
of Mrs. Chadwlck's operations, should
himself be one of the heaviest losers. For
Ira Reynolds, after his long course of
faithful guardianship for the woman
whom he trusted, now considers himself "a.
dupe. It is stated us a fact, not hitherto
known, that Reynolds loaned Mrs. Chad
wick practically all the. money he pos
sessed. His entanglements, however, in
volve only -himself, the "Wade-Park Bank-
Ins 'Company being In no way effected.
The note for $5,000,000 is believed by all
who have knowledge of it to havo been
written and signed by the same person
who filled out and signed the notes for
$500,000 and $250,000 held by the Citizens'
National Bank of Oberlln.
It is understood that the certificate of
trusteeship states the securities held by
Andrew Carnegie for Mrs. Chadwick con
sist -of United States Steel bonds, Cale
donian Railway stock in Scotland, and
some Western Railway stock in England,
the three aggregating, as above stated.
$7,500,000.
To put it briefly, the great Chadwfck
bubble has burst. There is no hope ap
parent. The foundation pn which Mrs,
Chadwlck's creditors rested their expec
tation has sunk, and the Chadwick finan
cial system, which has been tpttering for
the past two weeks, has fallen. Unless
help should arrive from some unforeseen
source, the creditors are helpless, and
Mrs. Chadwick has no resource. She must
now face the storm that has been steadily
growing in Intensity.
"With the backing of her $13,750,000
in notes and papers, Mrs. Chadwick
was enabled to obtain large loans dur
Ing the last two or three years, most
of which were repaid, however. The
only financial institution that has, so
far as Is known, been compelled to
close on account of the woman's deal
ingg, has been the Citizens' National
Bank of Oberlln, the president and
cashier of which are now under indict
rocnt and under ball on the charge of
misapplication of National bank funds.
Inducements Offered Bank.
The Inducements offered to the Ober
Hn Bank officials were stated today to
have been the promise of Mrs. Chad
wick to Messrs. Beckwlth and Spear
that their bank was to be made trustee
of Mrs." Chadwlck's $5,000,000 and that
the, bankers were to receive a yearly
salary of $10,000 for their services. An
additional bonus of $40,000 was prom
lsed the baDk when the loans were re
paid.
Rev. Dr. Charles Eaton, pastor of
the ' Euclid Baptist Church, through
whose brother's law firm in Boston
Mrs. Chadwick first met Banker New
ton, of Brooklyn, has refused to make
any reply to Mr. Newton's statement
toaay concerning the ministers con
ncctlon with the case. . Dr. Eaton'
family report him confined to his bed
and Inaccessible to interviewers. Dr.
Eaton did, however, hear what Mr.
Newton had to say about his (New
ton's) transactions with Mrs. Chad
wick.
The legal aspect of the case, locally
has taken on a new phase today by the
appointment of a second receiver for
the Chadwick property in behalf of
Newton. The appointment was vigor
ously opposed by counsel for the re
celver appointed by the Federal Court
a few days ago to take over the Chad
wick possessions. An attempted In
Junction to prevent the second receiver
from -acting was frustrated by his es
caplng service and obtaining posses
sion of the Chadwick papers held by Irl
Reynolds.'
At Elyrla, the Lorain County grand
Jury, which has been investigating al
lowed forgeries In connection with
transactions with the Citizens' Na
tional Bank of Oberlln. adjourned with
out otlng to Indict any person. It
was shown that there was not enough
evidence to bring In an indictment.
A special Federal grand Jury , was
called today to Investigate the Cbadr
wick case and will appear "Wednesday
morning-.
County Prosecutor Keeler said to-
ight that the Cuyboga grand jury.
called to Investigate the alleged for
geries in the Carnegie notes, -will prob
ably make their report Monday or not
later than Tuesday. Mr. Keeler said
that whatever determination was
reached. If any, he would confer with
United States. Attorney Sullivan, who
is handling the case for the Govern
ment. So there will be no conflict in
the matter.
HISTORY OF NEWTON LOAN.
"Boston Man Gives Details of His Deal
ings With Mrs, Chadwick.
BOSTON. Dec 10. In an interview 'to
day concerning the Chadwick case, Her
bert D. Newton said:
Now that Mrs.L Chadwick has been ar
retted I think that it Isjmy duty to show
up the whole miserable fabric of false
hood that has been worked on me and on
several other people in the country. "What
the total liabilities may be I do not know,
but I do know that she could never have
borrowed the money she did and in the
manner she did without someone as an
accomplice.
'How she worked that I am not sure,
learn that certain millions In securi
ties hare been opened In Cleveland, and
that they are worthless. I do not know
this officially. I have simply lieard it
But If it is true I would Hko to nave
some one tell no how It was that . the
woman Induced Ira Reynolds to sign his
name to a list of securities and then have
the sitmature vouched for by one of the
most prominent ministers In Cleveland.
That it was vouched for tnere is no
doubt. I saw the voucher ana tne list or
securities that Mrs. Chadwick was sup
posed to have deposited in the "Wade Park
National Bank. The list of securities
was signed by Mr. Reynolds as being in
his possession, and his signature was
ouched for by tho Rev. cnaries a.
Eaton."
Mr. Newton made another statement
this afternoon to clear and establish in
the public mind, he said, how he camo
to be financially Involved with Mrs.
Chadwick-
Mrs. Chadwick came to Boston last
April," said Mr. Newton. "She was
sent here by Rev. Charles A. Eaton,
pastor of the Euclid-Avenue Baptist
Church, of Cleveland. Dr. Eaton baa
been appealed to by her as a woman In
distress and acted as a pastor to neip
her out. She came to the office of John
Eaton, in the Trcmont building.
where Mr. Eaton Is a member of the
law firm of Eaton, McKnight & Car
er. From Dr. Eaton In Cleveland she
carried his instructions to give her as
sistance if. after examination of her
securities, her statements could be ver j
ified.
It was in Mr. Eaton's office in the
Trcmont building that John E. Eaton
introduced Mrs. Chadwick to me. At
this meeting Mrs. Chadwick showed
me the securities she held and among.
them was the $500,000 note signed An
drew Carnegie, and also the certificate
iRrned by Ira Reynolds, which stated
that he had in his possession $5,000,000
in certificates belonging to Mrs. Chad
wick. We talked with the Rev. Mr.
Eaton, and ho confirmed the signature
of Mr. Reynolds. The signaturo or tne
$500,000 Carnegie note was never verl
flcd.beyond Mrs. Chadwlck's own state
ments. "Later Mr. Reynolds personally ac
knowledged his signature on the certif
icate- of securities and the strictest in
quiry showed that Mr. Rej'nolds was
supposed to enjoy In the City ol cieve
land the reputation of being a man or
the highest Integrity and honor. So In
this way you can see that both repre
sentations made by the Rev. Mr. Eaton
have been fully certified.
'Upon these representations I decided
to help Mrs. Chadwick, and agreed to
let her have-$14,000. I paid the money
to John E. Eaton, and ho gave Mrs.
Chadwick his check. After this loan I
negotiated with Mrs. Chadwick myself
and made the loans under which she
became so heavily Indebted to me.
1 believe that both Eatons acted in
perfect good faith In the Introduction
and their confidences were absolutely
betrayed, as were the confidences of
many other persons.
Not Sufficient Evidence to Convict.
ELTRIA. O.. Dec 10. The Lorain Coun
ty special grand Jury today finished its
Investigation Into tho alleged cassie Ju.
Chadwick forged note case In connec
tion with the Oberlln Citizens National
Bank, and has reported that there was
not sufficient evidence to convict Mrs.
Chadwick.
The case of President Beckwlth and
Cashier Spear, of the defunct Oberlln
bank, will go over to the regular grand
Jury.
What Sulphur Docs
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
dally dose of sulphur and molasses every
Spring and Fall.
It was the universal Spring and Fall
"blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and
mind you. this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The idea was gobd. but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large quan
tlty had to be taken to get any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef
fects of sulphur in a palatable, concen
trated form, so that a single grain Is far
more effective than a tablespoonful of the
crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and experiment
have proven that tho best sulphur for
medicinal use Is tflat obtained from Cal
clum (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium
Wafers. They are small chocolate-coated
pellets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly concen
trated. effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of iulpbur In restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health: sul
phur acts directly on the liver, and ex
cretory organs and purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination of
waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring ana .ban, but the crudity and Im
purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were
often worse than the disease, and cannot
compare with the modern concentrated
preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart',
Calcium Wafers is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood In a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike.
Dr. R. M. Wilklns while experimenting
with sulphur remedies soon found that the
sulphur from Calcium was superior to any
other form. He says: "For liver, kidney
and blood troubles, especially when re
suiting from constlpatlbn or malaria.
have been surprised at the results ob
tained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In
patients suffering from bolls and pimples
and even deep-seated carbuncles, I hav
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap
pear in four or five days, leaving the skin
clear and smooth. Although Stuart s Cal
cium "Wafers is a proprietary article, and
sold by druggists, and for that reason ta
booed by many physicians, yet I know of
nothing so safe and Tellable for constipa
tion, liver and kidney troubles and espe
cially in all forms of skin disease as this
remedy."
At any rate people who are -tired of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood "puri
fiers," will find In Stuart's Calcium Waf-
1 era a far safer, more palatable and effec
tive preparation.

WER CHECKS DISHONORED?
Rumor Is Current That Bank Re
fuses to Pay Two Drafts Aggre
gating $50,000 In Favor of
Capitalist Newton.
NEW YORK, Dec. lO.-Jtist what has
become of the money Mrs. Chadwick is
alleged to have raised .on loans is a
question which is interesting the per-
sons conpected with the case. It has
been said iiiat more than tlireo years
go she settled $2,500,000 on her hus
band. Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick, and that
since that time she had borrowed over
$600,000. A rumor is current tonight
that efforts will be made to locate Dr.
Chadwick and, his daughter, who sailed
for Havre, France, on the steamer Sa-
oie from this port November s. They
have 'been reported from several places
In Europe, but Dr. Chadwick is said to
have given Herbert B. Newton, of
Brookllne, Mass., two checks aggre
gating $50,000 In part payment for his
wife's indebtedness, which aro alleged
to have come back from taa bank on
which they were drawn, stamped
'without funds." It was Intimated to
day that if Dr. Chadwick does not re
turn from Europe soon, tho checks
may figure in International proceedings.

HOW SHE HANDLED BROKERS
Mrs. Chadwick Calmed Their Fears
by Passing as Relative of Carnegie.
CLEVELAND. O., Dec 10. A special
from Oberlln, O., says: Tho confession
of President C. T. Beckwlth. of the
wrecked Citizens' National Bank of Ober
lln, now In the possession of the Federal
authorities, 13 a story so startling with
relation to the monumental transactions
of Mrs. Chadwick as to be almost unbe
lievable. But documentary proofs have
forced belief upon the few who have heard
the. amazing tale, and are expected to
prove the absolute undoing of Mrs. Chad
wick.
The unequivocal statement is made in
the confession of President Beckwlth that
the means by which Mrs. Chadwick se
cured the immense loans was by a writ
ten promise delivered Into the hands of
the banker that the Citizens' Bank would
bo .made the trustee of the $5,000,000 es
tate which has Just been revealed to the
world as an absolute myth.
The written promise delivered by Mrs
Chadwick to Beckwlth was to the effect
exactly that her affj-lrs would be turned
over to the Oberlln Bank July 1, 1901. Ia
consideration therefor President Beckwlth
and Cashier Spear were to receive $,10,000
a year each for their trouble. In ldltion.
the bank was to be given a bonus of close
to $40,000 when the loans had aV been
paid back.
This statement answers fully tho oft-
repeated question: "What In the world
actuated the two qfnclals of tho Oberlln
bank in making the immense loans from
the bank's funds without a scintilla of
actual security?"
The story of how Mrs. Chadwick dealt
with the two bankers after having the
money once in her power, as told by Beck
wlth. Is absorbing In Intensity of Inter
est. Mrs. Chadwick calmed the fears of
her victims with the claim that she was a
relative of Andrew Carnegie.
The written confession of Beckwlth
goes into detail of the explanation
made by Mrs. Chadwick as to the man
ner In which the estate was then being
handled. The "Wade Park Banking
Company, of Cloveland. wa3 used sim
ply as a depository for the securities.
according to the tale that tho Cleve
land woman made the bankers believe.
Tho estate was said by Mrs. Chadwick
to be In the hands of three trustees, all
Now York men. The name of on of
them was given as William Baldwin.
Mrs. Chadwick said she could not get
hold of the money oxcept through
Baldwin, whflm the banker now be
lieves to be a mythical person. Bald
win attended to all the business of
handling the interest from the bonds
and turned it over to Mrs. Chadwick
as it becamo due. The bankers were
told that the yearly Income was $750,
000. Repeated offorts were made on
tho part of Beckwlth to got into com
munication with Baldwin, but they
were always unsuccessful. An excuse
was always ready when inquiry con
cerning Baldwin was pressed.
Tho Oberlln bank was to be made the
trustee of the' estate as soon as tho
contract with the then alleged trustees
was ended, which was said to be July
1, 1903. When July 1 of la?t year camo
around matters were said to be In such
shapo as to make it necessary for the
estate to remain In tho same hands for
some little tlmo longer. "With the end
of their troubles in sight and a golden
harvest within grasp, as tho Oberlln
bankers believed, thoy were put off to
commence upon a period of anticipa
tion which ended with tho closing of
the doors of tho institution and arrest
of both the president and cashier.
In relation to the Indorsement of the
notes by Beckwith and Spear, the story
from tho banker goes on to relate that
the notes wero indorsed only as a last
recourse In the desperate effort to re
serve funds. He confessed that he had
attempted to negotiate loans on the
note, but his nerve failed him. The in
dorsements were put on. It was ex
plained, to make tho paper more bank
able. Tho confession practically tells a
story of how tho Oberlln bank had
been used as a clearing-house for Mrs.
Chadwick s manipulations.

to consider her future actions.
Several men would have irlven the nec
cssary ball had they been able to do so
without their names becoming public, but
tho law states that the Identity of the

also .contrary to the court's ruling for a
lawyer to give bail for his client-

THE STORE NOTED FOR THE BEST GOODS AT LOWEST PRICES
An Era of Quality
Each year the demand for better grades in all lines of merchandise manifests itself. More and
more do the people expect and require articles of genuine merit. In no line is this tendency so
marked as in ladies' ready-to-wear garments and dress goods. That in a measure accounts for the
phenomenal success of the McAllen & McDonnell stores.
People understand and appreciate the fact that Quality Counts. "The something for nothing"
fellow has been relegated to the rear. Nowadays the average customer is able to and does separate
the chaff from the grain. Our business is founded on quality. This method has stood the test for
many years.
