NEW YORK December 12 Early to-day bail had not been secured for the release of Mrs Cassie Chadwick from tie Tombs Prison nor had she given notice of any intention to waive examination in this city and go to Cleveland for a hearing Apparently reconciled temporarily to prison restraints and fare and satisfied that should she attempt to provide the bull now required the amount would be immediately so increased as to become practically prohibitive it was believed to-day that Mrs Chadwick had consented to act upon the advice of her counsel and await the examination in New York next Saturday Mrs Chadwick appears to have entirely recovered from the severe attacks of nervousness which attended her and apprehension of a collapse is not longer entertained by the prison physician Speculation as to whether Andrew Carnegie would be called to testify was hightened by the remarkable disclosures made by Treasurer Iri Reynolds of the Wade Park Bank of Cleveland The charge against Mrs Chadwick is that she signed a check for $12500 when she had no funds in the Oberlin Ohio bank and then procured a certification of the check by the two bank officials under arrest at Oberlin The authorities in attempting to put Mr Carnegie on the stand argue however that the bank officials certified the check because of the various "Carnegie notes" about which they had heard so much and some of which they had seen Therefore it is claimed Mr Carnegie's testimony is not Irrelevant A subpoena for Andrew Carnegie to testify In the Chadwick case was received by the author lties in this city to-day It was Issued in Ohio It has been served upon him CLAIMED RELATIONSHIP WITH ANDREW CARNEGIE (Staff Correspond ence of The Bee) Not only will the Sacramento be enclosed between the levees of a single system but so also will the Bear and the Feather and so on The hillside drainage that is the smaller streams Mill be diverted and concentrated and the Joint flow conveyed by a central channel between levees into the larger streams For example Cache and Putah Creeks will be confined the final outfall of their Joined waters being into Cache Slough which empties into the Sacramento Just above R4o Vista Probably Honeut Creek a Butte County stream that empties into the Feather will be lined by levees for a part of Its length and minor streams in its section forced to flow into it These are simply examples to give a better idea of my meaning though the Board has practically decided on the Cache and Putah Creek concentration Details of the Plan A great deal of detnll must be worked out and some of it cannot be completed bv the Board The waste weirs and by-paths already mentioned doubtless will be Indicated in a general way on the maps that will form part of the report but It is very probable their exact location will have to be determined by surveys on the ground And so in other features of the jilan Certain escapewnys will be left open for a time to aid the weirs and tule channels hut eventually they will all be dosed The Sacramento by that time will huve scoured out sufficient depth nnd width of channel to carry its entire flood burden Cost Not Yet Estimated The cost of this grent undertaking will be the last thing determined by the Board When It makes an estimate everything will be included ns far as it can determine In advance That Is why figures have been given out It is true that the sum of $10-000000 or $12000000 was mentioned in a Sioux City paper and wired out to the Pacific Coast but neither of these amounts was authorised by any member of the Board or by Commissioner Rynn or Engineer Nurse of California The scribe who wrote the story imagined thnt the inen'lon of a more or less definite amiv would look better That's the wuy It happened Tile Subject of Debris I wrote you In my first that the Engineering Board would make no suggestion to the California Debris SIOUX CITY' (la) December 12 The Bee has the honor of being the first paper not only in California but in the country to state the plan that will be adopted by the Engineering Board for correcting the flood evil in the Sacramento Valley In a recent communication from this place I stated that there were three cardinal principles the Board was considering under the general plan it has agreed to approve The maximum flood volume must be ascertained as nearly as possible the slope or fail of the high water line figured out and also the area necessary to carry the flood volume Such a basis means that the plan approved looks to concentration by levees with a scouring out of the channel In consequence rather than a diversion by means of artificial waterways Confinement of Flood Waters Between these two plans the Board hesitated but finally concentration won out causes operated to bring about this decision not the least of which was that diversion requires a rocky canal bed to do its best work and such a condition does not exist on the Sacramento and its tributaries Of course as stated In a previous communication relief for the levee system will be provided temporarily In the shape of waste weirs and bypath channels through the tule basins When the scourlng-out process caused by concentration has done Its work sufficiently the need of these flood escapewnys will cease to exist and they will not be further used It should have been stated above that when the two plans were under discussion one argument brought to bear against concentration was that the scouring might be so effectively (lone thnt at low water stage In the Summertime there would not be suf-fiolent depth to permit navigation to the best advantage But this was considered ns not likely to occur and the plan was then approved The ITniMiHfd Imvee System The levee system will begin at the upper end of the overflow country in the neighborhood of Stony Creek and probably extend to Collinsville In Solano County at the Junction of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers fourteen miles below Rio Vista As stated in an earlier dispatch very little work will be done on the San Joaquin The Sacramento Is the cause of most of the troubles of that river" in the opinion of engineers and once the Sacramento floods ars gotten un- ment still holds good But I have learned that Tfie report may say and very probably will that as long as hydraulic mining Is carried on except where there is absolutely no danger of debris entering streams if any such locations exist the people of the Sacramento Valley will have a flood problem to solve When the Board makes this assertion if It does the people of the valley will have food for thought The report will call a spade a spade There will be no beating about the bush In it And unless something occurs at the last moment to make a change desirable hydraulic mining operations of the past and present will be directly charged with the main responsibility for flood conditions In the Sacramento Valley As I have already stated the report will be a very voluminous one It will deal with the plan In detail of course give a history of the rivers and flood conditions in the Sacramento Valley and contain a number of maps There will be a masa of figures and plenty of technleai expressions also but I am assured by high authority that the outline of the plan I have here given is the substance the heart of the matter the massive framework to which the details will be fitted Many of these details have been worked out others are practically completed and the balance must wait until the great work hus actually been taken up Various Projects Disapproved Several pet schemes will die after more or loss lengthy and sickly existence The Montezuma hills project Is one of them The plan to cut through the hills in order to divert the Sacramento has not met with the approval of the Board of Engineers Neither has the scheme to "lose the This Idea contemplated the diversion of that torrential and troublesome stream near the base of the foothills There were grave objections to it nnd much opposition before the Board took a shy at it Now It Is dead Neither if present ideas are carried out will a canal be dug across Sherman Island Old favorites will have to retire A new order of things has come to take their place Even the work now being done at Butte Slough will not be embodied In the plan the engineers will approve In their report But it should not be assumed from this that the work will be dead loss Long before It shall be done away with It will have done sufficient good to Justify the cost of Its creation This Incident is mentioned principally to show how completely the Board's plan will supersede the old makeshifts I NEW YORK December 12 A subpoena was served on Andrew Carnegie at his home in this city to-day calling upon him to go tcy Cleveland on Wednesday and testify in the case of Mrs Chadwick Mr Carnegie is requested to appear before the Federal Grand Jury in the United States District Court at 9 a Wednesday The summons was issued by Judge Wing of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio and was accepted willingly by Mr Carnegie Mr Carnegie was annoyed however when he discovered that the summons required him to make the trip to Cleveland The Deputy United States Marshal with the subpoena called at Mr Carnegie's house and told one of the Secretaries that he came from the building in which the Carnegie Steel Company's office is located After a few moments' hesitation the Secretary admitted the Deputy to tie library where the Ironmaster sat reading Mr Carnegie took the subpoena with a smile and spreading it out on his knee read it carefully lie lias the Lumbago he cried when he saw that it required his presence- in Cleveland I don't think I will be able to go out there at all very sick I've got lumbago Do you mean to say that I'll have to be out in Cleveland on Wednesday then come back here to appear befmre Commissioner Shields on The Ironmaster was advised that he might see the United States District Attorney here about the matter The interview terminated witih the remark on the part of Mr Carnegie that this weather did not agree with him It was snowing hard at the time It was seml-offlclally announced today thnt after Mr Carnegie returns from Cleveland he will bo served with subpoqna for his appearance here at the Investigation next Saturday unless Mrs Chadwick nrirrees to go to Cleveland in the meantime Talks With Her Attorneys Another important move in the Chadwick case to-day was a hurried conference of her counsel with Lawyer George Ryall representing Banker Newton of Boston and Mrs Chadwick at the Tombs Mrs Chadwick had previously received what was believed to be a cablegram from her husband in Europe ANOTHER DYNAMITE OUTRAGE For the Fifth Time

Carnegie her husband Dr Chadwick was present snd he believed the story na I did "The stories of her giving large suma of money to her husband ars false He Is now In Europe and penniless "In order to show the methods cf Mrs Chadwick 1 will tell of what she offered to do for me about a year ago She came to me In my office here nnd said she was grateful for all that I had done for her and thnt she wished me to accept a present from her She then offered me $105000 In four notes of $25000 each The notes were drawn by her and she declnred thnt they were ae good a gold They may have been for I know
