CHADWICK LOYAL TO WIFE Cables From Europe That Statements Reflecting on Her Life Are Not True WOMAN BEING WATCHED evex Secret Service Agent Takes Up Station in the Holland House in New York City E et TN NEW YORK, Dec. 4—Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick, the husband of Cassie L. Chadwick, whose financial troubles have been undergoing the threshing- out process for the past week, has come out with a brief statement from | Europe. To-day he cabled to Philip | Carpenter, Mrs. Chadwick’'s counsel, from some place abroad, the name of which Carpenter would not disclose, requesting that gentleman “to deny the published statments reflecting on Mrs. ! Chadwick's life and character. They are absolutely false.” The cahblegram reads: I wish to have it understood that I stand by Mrs. Chadwick in every particular in her pres- ent troubles, T feel that she has been greatly wronzed by the publication and I belleve she is being persecuted by some of her creditors. Dr. Chadwick explained that he had | dispatched his cablegram just as soon the report of his wife's troubles. Carpenter also made a statement to- day. Said he: Dr. Chadwick is abroad for his health and the Newton suit was not brought until some three weeks after he salled. Before going away Dr. Chadwick consulted me In regard to Newton’s claim and with him 1 met N ton and his Boston attorney. The matter was then arranged, seemingly to the satisfaction of all concerned, and then the doctor sailed. All the members of the doctor's family are standing by Mrs. Chadwick loyally, and are in entire sympathy with her. 1 know that Dr. Chadwick would be by his Wife's side, looking out for her, If he were in this country. Mrs. Chadwick has acted in the most hon- orable way in all her dealings that have come to my knowledge. Ome very good evidence of this is found in the unshaken confidence still reposed in her by her largest creditors and those who know her best, MRS, CHADWICK PROSTRATED. Mrs. Chadwick remained in her room in the Holland House all day. Dr. Moore, her physician, morning and found Mrs. Chadwick in a highly nervous state. Her condition was such that Dr. Moore called a con- sultant and they made a thorough ex- amination. The medical men found no organic trouble, but said that the pa- tient was almost prostrated from the exciting events of the past week. They will keep close watch on her during the next few days. In the afternoon Philip Carpenter was admitted to the sick room and had a long conference with Mrs. Chad- wick. He went over the various phases of the case with her, especially those points which have to do with the bankruptey case in Cleveland. As a result of this conference Carpenter decided to notify all small clients that their claims would be paid this week and he called up the attorney for a local millinery -house. which procured an aftachment against the Cleveland woman and notified him of his inten tion. Simultaneously with the announce- ment from Cleveland that President Beckwith of the suspended Citizens!' National Bank of Oberlin was to be | placed under arrest, an official of the United States Secret Service appeared at the Holland House and took up hi station there. When recognized h declared that he was sent to the hotel hurriedly and that he had been given no orders. After having a long talk on the telephone, the secret service man said | he was not interested in the Chadwick case, but declined absolutely to an- nounce the nature of his mission. Emil, the voung son of Mrs. Chad- | wick, who has been staying near his' mother for several days, was the sub- 3 of some inquiry to-day. It was This could not be verified. It was rumored that the boy had left town with the jewels alleged to belong to his moth- er and that she would follow him to- night or to-morrow.

The Foreign Office took this action on proof that a former cargo taken by the Captain Menzell had been discharged to the ships of the Russian Pacific squad- ron off Dakar.

Neither the Admiralty nor the War Office is able to confirm the report from Chefu that the Japanese have been unable to hold 203-Meter Hill, but this news is quite in accordance Experts here are! convinced that the capture of 203-! Meter Hiil will be of no advantage to the Japanese unless they can gain pos- session of the neighboring forts. Nevertheless, the tone of the talk about Port Arthur is pessimistic. Gen- eral Heisman, for instance, says that even if they can no longer defend the walls crumbling about their ears, the defenders of Port Arthur will have Wwritten one of the most glorious pages in Russian history. Nemirovich Dachenko writes that the situation is very critical, but not hopeless. The Russians still hold two lines of defense. When these are lost they can fall back upon Liaoshan. In the opinion of many other ex- perts, General Stoessel will make his final stand in the last named fort. General Grippenberg has started from Harbin for Mukden to meet Gen- eral Kuropatkin. The second army is already assembled at the former place. Special dispatches to the Novoe Vremya from the front say great num- bers of sick and wounded soldiers have completely filled all available space be- tween Mukden and Baikal. ———————— SPOILS PLANS OF HIS SPOLSE Redlands Man Refuses to Keep Foundling Placed on Doorstep by Wife's Friend Special thfih_-m The Call. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4.—As a re- sult of the finding of a foundling upon the doorstep of a prominent Redlands man, the later discovery of who left it there and the action of the Red- lands police in compelling the woman who had deposited the child there to return and take it away, a strange story has developed in which it ap- pears that none of those connected with it intended to harm any other person, but were working for the other's good. Mrs. J. W. Humphreys had long ex- pressed a desire for a blue-eyed baby girl and tried to induce Mrs. Sadie Shaw to consent to the adoption of her daughter, but the latter declined. She, however, agreed to find a baby girl for Mrs. Humphreys if she wanted to adopt a child. Husband Humphreys objected strongly and said he would have no adoptions. His wife, however, supposed she could induce him to per- mit her to keep a child if a baby was left upon the door step and she and Mrs. Shaw entered into an agreement whereby the latter agreed to find a baby and leave it there. Mrs. Shaw came to Los Angeles, found a blue-eyed girl baby two weeks old, took it to Redlands Friday night and delivered it upon the doorstep of the Humphreys' home. Husband Hum- phreys, however, would have no found- lings and was about to turn the young- ster over to the police when Mrs. Shaw telephoned to ask if the baby had been WARSHIPS Garrison Contests Every Inch of Ground.

The attack was renewed the morn- ing of November 30, “when all the Japanese reserves came up,” from the | southwestern corner, but the assail- ants had advanced only thirty meters by 5 o'clock, so stubborn was the re- sistance and the Japanese suffered se- vere losses.
