Religion Other Sects Cited in Rehuttal. - CONCORD. X. H.. Aug. 15. (Delayed In transmission.) The hearing before three masters to determine the competency of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy was continued In the Superior courtroom today with tfce largest attendance of Christian Scientists present of any day since the trial began. The greater portion of the morning ses sion was devoted to an argument by De Witt C. Howe, of the counsel for Mrs. Eddy's son and other plaintiffs, tending to show by the citation of authorities that It was perfectly proper to inquire into the delusions of the mind as having their ef fect upon business capacity, e.ven through those delusions might be given a religious name. He also argued the point that it would be maintained and proved that Mrs. Eddy Is the victim of general Insanity and that this condition has been Induced step by step through cherished delusions of var ious sorts. Christian Science Xo Religion? - Judge Aldrlch said that it was not the province of the masters to go Into Mrs. Eddy's religion or to Investigate Christian Science, which Is a religion. "Christian Science is not a religion," said Howe. "Who has the right to say that?" asked Judge Aldrlch.. "They have churches and hold religious services, with many at tendants." . "Their text-book shows In itself that it is not a religion." said Mr. Howe. "But many people have said the same i thing of the Bible," continued Judge Al drlch. "Yes. and Mormonlsm has been claimed to be a religion." replied Mr. Howe, "but the Supreme Court decided otherwise. The sarrie Is true of Millerism and other doc trlines." "What particular elements of the Chris tian Science teachings show delusion?" asked Judge Aldrlch. "Such a belief as Mrs. Eddy expressed In 1S!6," said Mr. Howe, "that she was miraculously and suddenly cured from an Injury which, as a matter of fact, yielded only to constant and long con tinued medical treatment." Animal Magnetism an Issue. Attorney Howe referred to Mrs. Eddy's belief on malicious animal magnetism and also discussed at length the desire of the plaintiffs not to have the scope of the present inquiry limited as to time. He thought that the entire period from 1866 should be covered as providing progres sive stepps In proving their case that Mrs. Eddy Is generally Insane and has been so for a long time. This afternoon Senator Chandler asked the court to admit all the writings of Mrs. Eddy as necessary in proving the plaintiffs' contention concerning the ani mal magnetism which they claim has for many years been the dominating influence in her business life and in fixing her at titude toward relatives and friends. He offered a copy of Mrs. Eddy's first book published In 1875 and also a 1907 revision. Study should be made of this magnetism, otherwise termed the "red dragon," he said, for the Information of the court. ST. HELENS RICH IN ORE F. A. MABEE BELIEVES DIS' TRICT HAS FUTURE. Declares That With Reduction Works and Transportation Facil ities Region Will Rival Butte. "In time the country around Mount St. Helens will be one of the best mining dis tricts In the world," said F. A. Mabee, an oldtime mining man, at the Portland Hotel last night. "For 30 years, off and on. I have prospected the Coast Range from here to the Canadlan-Une, and I want to go on record as saj ng that it contains as much mineral wealth as any portion of the Rockies, covering the same area. It Is also almost a wilderness, most of It has never been properly ex amined. "Take the Bald Mountain . district, on Shirt Creek, for instance, or any in the St. Helens district. Mining engineers of proven ability, some of i-em holding po sitions with the greatest mining compa nies of the world, have looked the sur face over and say that the St. Helens region has every indication of being a richer mining center some day fhan Is Butte. Montana. And this place is only 35 miles up the river from Portland. One mine, the Washougal, now has 1200 feet of tunneling, and the west drift is in ore over the whole breast of the work ings, ore running 200 to the ton in gold, silver and copper. "A smelter Is going in tliere to handle the ores of that locallt and will proba bly be erected this year right on the Co lumbia River banks, 16 miles from the mines, and on what is practically tide water, so as to get plenty of cheap fuel. Several hundred thousand dollars have already been spent In development work In the St. Helens district, and reduction works of some kind are now required. As for coal, it can be had by water from as far away as China or Japan, If need be, to smelt the ores In there. Fuel can be had over land by rail from several points. But the water route Is the cheappst and surest. However, the Northern Pacific people, while making a cut about three wees ego, uncovered a small vein of good coal near the district. I saw them burning it in the engine of the steam shovel they were using, so I guess It must be of -etty. fair quality. "Oregon and Washington have so 6f ten been boosted as timber and farming states that few people know of the rich ness of their mines. The country all along the Coast Range Is virgin yet, ready for the prospector's plckand later the steam drill. "Most of this ore must find a market right here In Portland. The supplies for a thousand mines In time must be bought In this city, and ine miners will spend their money here. And as near and im portant as this is to Portland, few local people have even heard of It, or if they have, merely take the Information as a mining rumor. But the dt. Helens dis trict has thousands o tons oL good ore In sight right today ready to ship Just as soon as transportation and reduction wor. s can be provided. The ore Is there, rich, w.e Assure veins between gray granite walls; the question Is now to get It out." FHKER REPLIES TO TIFT HARDING DAVIS USES FISTS KESEXTS BEIXG CALLED AX "IMITATION' EXGLISHMAX." Didn't Like. Treatment at Asbury Park Theater Calls Manager Outside to Settle. '" NEW YORK. Aug 20. Richard Harding Davis, the writer, went one night last week to witness a presen tation of his comedy, "The Yankee Tourist," at the Casino, at Asbury Park. Mr. Davis occupied a box with a party of friends, and presently thoup-ht he had reason to complain to Walter Rosenberg, acting manager of the Casino. The latter requested Mr. Davis to step outside the theater - and talk it. over. On the boardwalk the pair got Into a dispute, clinched, and before they broke away several light blows were struck. Neither combatant was floored. In fact, the bout was so tame that the policeman stationed at the entrance to the Casino did not think It worth while to Interfere, so there were no arrests. The fuss Over. Mr. Davis gathered together his ruffled dignity, rearranged his somewhat mussed clothing, scowled long and savagely at his foe, and returned to his friends in side the playhouse. Rosenberg, less dis comfited than the other warrior, reduced his temperature by quaffing a glass of root beer at a nearby booth on the board walk. That Is the Asbury Park version of the story. According to Me. Davis. Rosen berg's words were anything but com plimentary. "I have my own Ideas of the ethics of names called "by another." said Davis, "and I must say that I resented the one that he used In speaking to me." "What name did he call you?' asked the reporter. "He called me." said he deliberately, "an imitation Englishman, or something of that sort. Naturally r did not like the term, for I hold like to the Irishman in Robert Louis Stevenson's story, who knocked a man down for calling" him Irish, that no matter what one may be. It not pleasant to be told so by another. So I hit him." CHALLENGES DAVIS TO FIGHT Wants Go for $10,t00 Purse Before Athletic Cluh. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Walter Rosenberg, manager of the Casino at Asbury Park, has Issued a challenge to fight Richard Harding Davis any number of rounds for a purse of $10. 000 a side before the Crown Athletic Club of Brooklyn. Rosenberg Is the man who walloped Oav-ls at the Ashury Park Casino the night of August 7 last, because Davis called the manager ' a cheap grafter." The challenge from Rosenberg was provoked by the published statement of DavlB that he had whipped the manager "quite severely" and that the cut on the author's face was simply a ecratch from the manager's big dia mond ring. ROOT NOT IN SYMPATHY Rumor That Secretary Is to Retire From Cabinet. BOSTON, Aug. 1G. (Delayed in Transmission.) The Boston News Bu reau says: "Notwlthsanding official denials, we have confirmatory advices again warranting the publication of the rumor that Elihu Root and Robert Bacon are likely to retire from the State Department. They are not in sympathy with the recently published utterances of Attorney-General Bona parte, which appear to reflect the de sire of the administration to use the power of the Government to punish In dividuals rather than to Becure the en forcement of the law." ROBBERS-MAKE RICH HAUL Reported to Have Stolen Mall Sacks Containing $50,000. LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 20. Three registered mall sacks, containing about a quarter of million dollars, disap peared from the Burlington train be tween Denver and Oxford, Neb., Sun day night. Detectives and postal of ficials are Investigating. Superintendent Butler, of the mall clerks, believes the robbery was just west cf the Nebraska line. Both mall clerks slept while the train was pass ing long stretches between stations. It Is believed somebody entered the car and threw out the sacks. The destina tion of the sacks was Chicago. CHICAGO. Aug. 20. At the general offices of the Burlington here it was stated the officers have no knowledge whatever of any theft of mall sacks. j Say Bonaparte Is In Disfavor. NEW YORK. Aug. 20. The Journal Of Commerce quotes unnamed New Y ork- ers, ivhlch it says are very close to ths Administration, as saying that the useful ness of Attorney-General Bonaparte as a member of the Cabinet has culminated. The paper Bays that his Immediate retire ment is not expected, but that there is no question that the President is opposed to his "flippant, undignified attitude and the doubtful legal procedure displayed by the Attorney-General." Flnce the opium act came into fore Chinese tradesmen In Shanghai and other larse cities have been making big money by selling alleged cures for the opium habit. ' Scope of Evidence Limited. : After a conference with the associate masters Judge Aldrich announced the fol lowing ruling concerning the scope of .testimony to be admitted orally and by deposition at the present hearing: "We are all of the opinion that evidence tending to show that Mrs. Eddy Is in a delusory mental condition in respect to -forces operating upon her relatives and 'next friends,' and, through them, upon her business, if of a character to show mental Impairment and to influence her In business affairs, is admissible. This Is limited to alleged delusions which reason ably connect themselves with Mrs. Eddy's mental conditions with respect to the management of property affairs. "The majority of the board think that as these alleged delusions relate to con ditions of mental prejudice, that going back to 1S!0 is not remote. We do not Intend this ruling to include the books which you have, Mr. Chandler, because they have not been specifically presented and dlicussed." " Both Sides Object to Ruling. This ruling was taken as fixing a definite point viz. 1S90 back of which the inquiry could not go. and the date was presumably arrived at through a letter written hy Mrs. Eddy and dated Septem ber 22, 1890, which General Streeter con tended was too remote to have a bearing upon the present state of Mrs. Eddy's capacity. The ruling was formally objected to. by General Streeter on this ground alone, and was objected to by counsel for Mrs. Eddy's son on the ground that it is necessary to go back of 1890 in order to submit full proofs of their 'contentions. The letter of September 22, 1890, which seems to be fixed as the deadline of the Inquiry Into the past, deals with Mrs. Eddy's expression concerning malicious animal magnetism, or "M. A. M.." and was offered In a deposition of Arthur T. Buswell In Boston last week. Remarkable Letter In Evidence. The letter was admitted in evidence and proved one of the most Interesting docu ments of the day. The person to whom It refers as "Dear Student" was not dis closed, but 'the letter itself, admittedly in Mrs. Eddy's handwriting, is as follows: "Concord, N. H., Sept. 22. 1S90. Dear Student: I see this morning the purpose of the enemy. It Is to break my will at my decease if this latter can be accom plished. My son In South Dakota is -a victor at law and M. A. M. will Influence him to break my will. Now, this I en join on you. Inquire of the best copy right lawyer out of Boston you can find If I can assign my copyright of 'Science and Health' and 'Unity of God' to some one, who would hold It if my will was broken and never name this party In my will or name to whom It Is assigned, whichever would make it legal. "Find this out at once and the way of conveyance of my copyright, so that If my will should be disputed or broken the publishing of "Science and Health' and Unity of God' could go on without hin drance, I shall assign the copyright of DENIES THAT REPUBLICANS WANT TARIFF REVISED. Senator Explains His Difference With the President and Talks About Rate Law. CINCINNATI,, Aug. 20. Senator For flker, the only Republican of prominence- in the country actively and openly opposing President Roosevelt's policies and the nomination for Presi dent of Secretary Taft. Mr. Roosevelt's choice, evave today 'an interview In which he answered portions of Mr. Taft's Columbus speech, and stated the point of his controversy with the Fed eral administration. Senator Foraker says that: Secretary Taft is losing ground in Ohio, al though if nominated p.M Republicans will support him; that his controversy with the President is over the ques tion whether a public servant shall do his own thinking; that If Secretary Taft Is correct In saying there are evils in the tariff they ought to he removed at once, without wasting 18 months. Secretary Taft is wrong, he declares, in saying that any great body of Republicans desire the tariff revised either now or 18 months hence. The rate bill. Instead of strengthen ing the Elklns bill, weakens it. Through an amendment inserted by Senator Lodge, a friend of the ad ministration, harm was done and this amendment required proof that an of fense was "knowingly" done. If th Standard Oil rebate offenses had been committed after this amendment, the word "knowingly" would have cost the United States $29,000,000 in fines in Judge Land is.' court. The "unfortunate circumstances," which Judge Taft speaks of in describ ing the elimination of imprisonment from the Elkins law. was made at the suggestion of the Interstate Commerce Commission Itself, says Foraker.
