The Townsend-Downey Company closed down its plant because of fre- “quent disagreements between it and its empioyes. some of the delegates with the Amalgamated Society.” said Downey, “are doing all they can to make the co-operative plan a success, connected The New York Metal Trades Union has® 2% always stood for open shop. Since I outlined the plan on November 28 last. I have received assurances of support. We expect to begin work with two bun- dred men. I am confident that such a shipyard will be a success and that it may be established within the next two months.” Under the general plan of organiza- tion the workingmen will receive the prevailing rate of wages and at the end of each year a share in the surplus, the dividends being based upon the amount of their wages for the year. Allowances will be made in computation for repairs and deterjoration of the plant, for t interest on the amount of capital in- vested and for the losses. Downey proposed that in his new scheme al- lowances be made for labor and capi- tal and that a surplus fund be formed from which dividends ~ to several branches of the establishment might be paid.

YORK, Dec. 8.—Suit for $3760 was begun’' to-day against Howard Gould for a ied assortment of frocks and frills his wife is alleged to have ordered and had fitted, but re- fused to pay for. The list of articles numbers sixteen garments, all of which are declared to be of wonderful con- struction, with trimmings and finish- ings that dressmakers say should bring joy to the heart of any woman. The complainant is the firm of Braud & Le Royer, which has establishments in Newport and Paris, as well as in New York. The complaint states that sixteen dres s were ordered by Mrs. Gould between October 4 and November 9 of this year. Mrs. Gould, it is declared, chose the material for her garments with the utmost care, and directed the fitting with equal exactne: The dresses ranged in price up to $500, and as they were finished, they were deliv- ered to the former actress at the Hotel St. Regis, where she and her husband were stopping. Eleven of the orders had been fin- ished. and, it is alleged, delivered to her when Mrs. Gould canceled her order for other garments. —_———— CURFEW ORDINANCE FOR CHICAGO CHILDREN NEW City Council Plans to Keep Young- sters Off the Streets at Night. CHICAGO, Dec. 8.—Curfew whistles will soon be heard ’h Chicago if an ordinance under consideration by the Judiciary Committee of the City Coun- cil meets with approval. Boys and girls under 15 years of age will have to run to their homes promptly at 8 o'clock between the months of Sep- tember and May and at 9 o'clock dur- ing the remainder of the year under the provisions of . this measure. Naughty youngsters who insist on playing or roaming the streets after those hours will be taken in charge by the police and hustled to their homes. If parents refuse to be responsible for the good conduct of the children the offenders are to be taken to the police station, where a magistrate is to take proper legal steps if he believes the prisoners are incorrigible. Inci- dentally the parents will incur fines of §1 to $10 for allowing violations of the law. Instead of the time-honored curfew bell the ordinance provides that the Mayor or Police Department arrange with factories to blow their whistles at the proper hour as a warning to the children. —_—— Californians in New York.

That is an entirely different | matter,” she replied. “But you have already been quotel as denying that Mr, Carnegie had any- ! thing to do with your business affairs | or that you had a&ny notes of his.” “As 1 _said before you will have to talk to Mr. Carpenter about that,” the | woman answered. M Chadwick seems to be esne(‘i:rnvi grieved that any one should construe | her removal from the Holland House to | the New Amsterdam Hotel and from | the New Amsterdam to the Hotel Bras- | lin as a flight from the secret servic men. FUTILE QUEST OF BAIL. This has been a momentous day for Mrs. Chadwick. It commenced with her early departure from her hotel for | the Federal building and ended with her incarceration in the Tombs, | In the interval she had been ar- raigned Lefore United States Commis- | sioner Shields and held in $15,000 bail. | All day long lawyers representing her | interests had sought in every quarter | for some one owning real estate in Manhattan who wotld sign her bond, d the Marshal, out of sympathy for the woman, had kept her in his office hours after she should have been re- moved, The endeavors of the lawyers were unsuccessful, rendering her im- prisonment necessary. To add to her cup of woe, it was learned to-night that a charge of for- gery would very likely be made against | the ‘woman in Ohio, based on the Car- negie note and other papers given as security for loans. Efforts to get bail will continue to- morrow, although M Chadwick ex- pr ed the desire to-night to go to Cleveland as soon as possible. | Mrs. Chadwic dined *at 7 o'clock In Marshal Henkel's officé under condi- tions in strange contrast to the manner in which she lived at New York hotels. SOLITARY CO NEMENT. When Warden Flynn was seen after Chadwick had arrived at the| ymbs, he said; Mrs. Chadwick will ‘be placed in a *ll on the second tier of the prison. he will be ‘entirely alone on the tier, which Is set apart from other women | prisoners. She is a United States pris- oner and will not be allowed associates | in any way. To-morrow morning she will have her meals’ with the others, but during the day she will be com- pelled to remain alone. If she is il | she will be attended by the physician, | | Dr. Levin, whose duty it is to look after United States prisoners.” When the warden was asked as to| her pedigree, he replied: | ‘She gave her age as 51’ years, said she was born in the United States, not specifying any State, and that she was married. ‘Asked whether she would be allowed o retain her medicine chest, he said: “No prisoner is allowed to have med- icine except that which is ordered by | physicians, and Mrs. Chadwick will be no exception. She will be treated like the other prisoners here.” NOW AN OCCUPANT ELL IN TOMBS| S e | Chaawick. \ Receiver Lyons, of the Oberlin Bank, | which recently closed its doors, said to-night that he would leave for Cleve- land to-morrow morning, where crim- iral proceedings would _be taken against Mrs. Chadwick. He said he bad been in communication with Pros- ecutor Sullivan of Cleveland to-day, and “that developments in the bank case against Mre. Chadwick might be looked for. Asked if any communica- | on had been held with = Carnegie in this city, he admitted that certain | communications had paesed. CARNEGIE REPEATS DENIAL. In the communications in New York | to-day between Carnegie and repre- sentatives of the Oberlin Bank, Car- nigie dJdenied absolutely that he had signed the notes which have figure in the case as the “Carnegle notes, and denied that he knew Or ever saw Mrs. Chadwick. The same authority sald that the Ohio proceedings would be in the na- ture of action on the charge of forgery “Will an additional warrant be is- sued in Ohio for Mrs. Chadwick's ar- rest?” he was asked. “Yes; probably a number of war- | rants,” | “On what charges will these war- rants be sworn out?” % “On the general charge of forgery. Inquiry was made as to whether the charge of forgery would be based on the Carnegie notes, and the reply was made that they would be based on these and some other papers given as securities for loans. The papers, other than the Carnesgie | rotes, have not appeared in the case heretofore, and as to what they con- sist of and whose signatures they bear | be would not say. ELYRIA GRAND JURY INDICTS. ELYRIA, Ohio, Dec. 8—The Grand | Jury adjourned to-night after voting to indict Mrs. Chadwick on the charge of having obtained money under false pretenses in Lorain County. Oberlln; is in Lorain County. | CLEVELAND, Deec. 8.—Prosecutor Keeler of this county and 'Prosecutor Stroup of Lorain County had a long conference by telephone late this aft- ernoon, at the close of which Prose- cutor Keeler announced that testimony | had been brought before the Grand Jury at Elyria to the effect that the al- !leged Carnegie notes had been uttered in Cleveland. On this information Prosecutor Stroup has decided to drop the case as far as the Carnegie notes are concerned. County Prosecutor Keeler to-day re- ceived the following telegram from An- drew Carnegle, in New York, in reply | to an Inquiry as to the genuineness of | the Chadwick notes: Never signed such notes; have no motes now; have not fssued a note for many | Hope you can arrange to have any necessary | affidavits executed here. ANDREW CARNEGIE. United States District Attorney Sul- livan spent a good portion of last night in conference with President Beckwith of the Citizens’ National Bank at the latter's residence in Oberlin. As a re- sult of this conference President Beck- with is now preparing .a complete statement covering every transaction between the bank, himself and Mrs. | SHOW DISLIKE FOR SPY SISTE PARIS, Dec. 8.—In the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon the Govern- ment escaped defeat by the narrow ma- jority of two votes, 276 to 274, .on a| resolution inviting the Government to| refer to the Superior Council of Judges | the cases of these magistrates who have been guilty of making secret in- vestigations. The Cabinet’s narrow escape from defeat is due to the unabated indigna- | tion at the system of informers in the | various departments of the public serv- ice, the first exposure of which in con- | nection with the army caused General | Andre’s resignation of the Ministry of! ‘War. The discussion of the budget of | the Ministry og Justice furnished a fresh opportunity for appealing to this sentiment, a deputy demanding the| punishment of those magistrates who | had furnished secret information con- | cerning their colleagues. | Premier Combes vigorously criticized | the tactics of the opponents of the| Ministry, declaring that it was unfair to continually bring up the question after his expressions of disapproval | of the system and promises to suppress" the abuses. He further maintained that | persons lawfully supplying the Govern- ment with important information | would not be considered informers. The Premier's arguments did not con- | vince the Chamber, the Ministers' own votes alone averting disaster. . Critical debates are expected to- morrow over the Premier circular, officlals on the subject of their dut toward the Government. ——————— | WEALTHY NEW YORKER | ACCUSES HIS WIFE Henry Coles, Sued for Divorce, Makes Counter Charges Aagainst His Spouse, .

SAN JOSE, Dec. 8.—REight large spots were discovered on the sun to- day by Father Ricard of Santa Clara College. They occupy the first quad- rant of the solar hemisphere. Three of them, evidently the result of seg- mentation, stand very near the limb. Four others form a quadrilateral quite near the vertical diameter or axis of the sun, two on each side. The four spots of the quadrilateral are very large, one of them being espe- cially prominent for the blackness of its nucleus, its vast. dimensions and the swaying to and fro of its penum- bra. It jsbelieved that the spots fore- tell the coming of a storm and may have some effect upon the earth’'s cli- matic conditions. ‘The spots are larger than those dis- covered by Father Ricard last Oc- tober. —_———— SIXTEEN MINERS PERISH IN EXPLOSION AT BURNETT Fourteen Bodies Have Been Recov- ered and Search of Mine Will Be Completed To-Day.
