BANK PRESIDENT BEWAILS HIS CONNECTION WITY CHADWICK CASE. BELIEVED THE NOTES WERE GENUINE ASSERTS MRS. CHADWICK SWORE SHE WITNESSED MR. CARNE- GIE SIGN THE PAPERS. Oberlin, O., Dec. 7.—President C. T. Beckwith of the Citizens’ National bank is practically in a state of col- lapse as a result of the trying ordeal through which he has passed in con- nection with his hearing before the United States commissioner at Cleve- land. Beckwith is completely pros- trated and his grief is pitiful. In dis- cussing his troubles the voice of the aged banker is choked with emotion. In speaking of the Carnegie notes he vehemently declared that if the signa- tures were forgeries then the hand of the law should be laid upon Mrs, Chadwick. “Why should I stand the brunt of all this trouble which has been direct- ly brought about by the acts of that ‘woman?” he cried. Continuing Mr. Beckwith said: “I had every reason to believe that the notes were genuine. Indeed Mrs, Chad- wick swore they were. She solemnly declared that she had seen Mr. Car- megie write his signature on them. To confitm this she brought an attorney with her who declared ihat e was the legal representative of Mr. Carnegie and this attorney, whose name I can- not now state, declared that he knew positively that the signatures were genuine. “It is true that we—Mr. Spear and myself—did endorse the notes, but of course we had no idea that they were to be put to the use that they were afterwards. “Then again we had the positive as- surance of Iri Reynolds, secretary of the Wade Park Banking company at Cleveland, that he had the securities that Mrs. Chadwick claimed he had. “Oh, my God!” exclaimed the ‘old man, “if 1 could only have my life to live again for the past year that I might save my name from this great misfortune that has befallen me.” SON OF ITALIAN HERO. General Ricciotti Garibaldi Said to Be 2 Critically 11, Rome, Dec. 7.—General Ricciotti Garibaldi, the last surviving son of the Italian hero and his first wife, Anita, is dying from nephritis.

RUSSIAN FLEET UNDER FIRE MUST LEAVE PORT ARTHUR HAR- BOR OR SUFFER IRREPAR- ABLE DAMAGE. Tokio, Dec. 7.—The effective bom- bardment of the Russian battleships at Port Arthur, which began on Satur- day last, was one of the results of the capture of 203-Metre hill. Up to that time the warships had been 'able tc seek shelter from the. Japanese fire under Peiyu mountain, but the cap- ture of 203-Metre hill Nov. 29-30 en- abled the Japanese to train their guns on the Russian vessels, with the result that a number of them have been set on fire and the others must either put to sea or suffer irreparable damage. The Port Arthur besiegers report as follows: “On Saturday, Dec. 3, our naval guns bombarded the enemy’s ships. The Pobieda (battleship) was struck six times, a vessel of the Retvizan (battle- ship) type was hit eight times and on other ships sixteen' shells took effect. “On Monday, following the same plan, the Pobieda was hit seven times, the Poltava (battleship) eleven times and the Retvizan eleven times. At about 3 in the afternoon one of our shells struck a magazine south of Peiyu mountain, causing a heavy ex- plosion. The conflagration which fol- lowed was not extinguished for twc hours. “The same day our heavy guns were directed at the ememy’s ships. The Peresviet (battleship) was struck twice and two more shells were lodged in other ships. A vessel of the Pol- tava type was observed to be on fire for one hour, sending up a great vol- ume of smoke. “The attacking operations against the Sungshu mountain forts eastward are carried on day and night.
