THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOYEMBER 25, 1903. II FAITH CURE FAILS Mrs. Annie Grant Dies From Pneumonia. SHE REFUSED MEDICAL AID While on the Point of Death Resolute Woman Rises From Her Bed Only to Drop Lifeless on the Sidewalk. Mrs. Anaio Grant, age 47 years, and for the past few years a housekeeper for 2d. K. Esby, 786 Brooklyn street, dropped dead on the sidewalk yesterday at Elgateoath and Brooklyn streets. An autopsy held at Coroner Finley's under taking establishment last night showed that ah' had died from pneumonia. A doctor in Troutdalc had diagnosed her cast, as pneumonia, several days ago, and told her that she was in need of imme diate medical treatment, yet so strong was her confidence in effecting a cure by faith that she rofused to allow a-doctor to treat her. So determined was sho to make herself believe that she was not ci.-k that oven at the time sho was on the point of death she summoned her courage, arose from her bed and, putting on her wraps, started toward a streetcar. She had gone but half a block when even her mighty will power failed her, and she dropped from sheer exhaustion upon the sidewalk. In less than ten minutes she was dead. Mrs. Grant has been a strong believer in the Christian Science doctrine of heal ing by faith for a numbor ot years. She had been employed by Mr. Esby as a housekeeper until a few weeks ago, when she went to Troutdale to spend a few days with her brother-in-law, Daniel McKay. "While she was in Troutdale her brother had aa accident and a physician was called ia. Mrs. Grant had been suffering for a few days, and the doctor was per mitted to toe her. Ho told her at once that she had a severe attack of pneu monia, aad urged her to permit medical treatiaeat. She refused, however, saying that site did not believe in medicines. A few days later she visited the home of C. Henderson, 651 East Eighteenth street. She was a total stranger, but asked admission, saying: "I aa laferxned that you are Christian Scientists." We are studying tho doctrine," said Mrs. Henderson. "I have been a Scientist for many years." said tho visitor, "and I long for the company of somo one that is of the caate faith." "T took her in even though she was a stranger.' said Mrs. Henderson last night. "She stayed here a good part of the day. I spent most of the time read ing to her and talking with her. Sho then went away, and I did not see any thing of hor for a few days. Yesterday rhe came to my house and said that she wanted me to give her what we call tho 5(1 once treatment- As she was a total stranger, aad we had no room in the r- e to keop her, I did not wish her to eta here. She pleaded with mo so i-trongly that I finally consented for her ta stay with me for a few days. Most t.f the first day was spent in reading, and ia the evening she said that she fe.t better. Yesterday morning she was up early. I had found out by this time fr.at the doctor had said her illness was due to pneumonia, and I did not wish her to stay, for I knew that these cases cen oad very suddenly in spite of all that caa be done. I told her that she would have to get some other place to stay, but that I would keep her until her people could come after her or she could get another place. In the morning about M o'clock she said that she would have to go away and tend to some busi ness. I tried to get her to stay in tho honse, but she insisted that she was able to go out." As she left the house she left It very slowly. She had gone but a short dis tance before she sank helpless upon the sidewalk. Rev. P. J. Greene of the Evan gelical Church, Eighteenth and Tibbets streets, saw her fall and ran to her as Eistanoe. "I am so weak," were her only words, and la less than ten minutes she was dead. At the autopsy held last night "it was found that her, lungs wore almost -useless. A large blood-clot had formed In her heart, which was the direct cause of her sudden death. The physicians who exam ined her case are of the opinion that her life could have been saved by proper medical care PLEDGE FAIR AD).

The attitude of tho State of Washing toa was explained by Senator Foster, and aasuraace was given that the "Washing ton delegation would work hand in hand with th Senators and Representatives on The other side of tho Columbia River.

ADDRESS OF SENATOR FOSTER Exposition Will Aid the Whole Coun try as Well as Pacific. ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, Nov. 24. Tho address' of Senator Foster at the Lewis and Clark banquet given by Senator Mitchell tonight, was as follows: "Nothing that has occurred slnco the discovery of gold In California will so at tract attention to the Pacific West and its wonderful capabilities for home-bulld-ing and Industry as the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition of 1S05. The East, now well filled with people, and lacking tho cheap land that in generations past was its chief Inducement to tho home seeker, appreciates the West, and realizes Its value to an expanding country. The great task that the West had to over come the prejudice against It was due to the fact that for 40 years following tho purchase of Louisiana the land was not needed for settlement, and the people of the United States were at a loss to know what to do with the new posses sion. Between 1803 and 1853- purchase, ex ploration and the' issue of war added 2.13S.48S square miles to our National do main, over IVz times as large an area as Great Britain, by the treaty of 17S3, de clared to be "free, sovereign and Inde pendent states." All this vast territory Is west of the Mississippi River, and the day when It began to bo required for homes is within tho memory of men yet in the prime of life. "The Oregon country, which the expedi tion of Lewis and Clark won to American sovereignty, comprises all of the present states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming. It had in 1850 an area of 307,000 square miles, and a population of less than 14,009. It now has LGOO.GOO people, with room for 20,000,000 more, and an aggregate wealth, all classes of property Included, of ap proximately 12,000.090,000. It annually adds to the Nation's store of wealth over 526, 000,000 worth of gold and silver (coinage value), nearly 544,000.000 of copper and lead, 5100.000,000 worth of farm products, and 5105,000,000 worth of manufactured goods. Puget Sound and the Columbia River, the great seaports of the Pacific Northwest country, have a foreign com merce of 5C.000.000 a year, of which the giant young state of Washington con tributes approximately two-thirds. Oregon and Washington have one-fourth of the standing timber of the United States. "As a means of concentrating attention upon tho Pacific States and upon their vast and yet undeveloped resources and possibilities, the Lewis and Clark Cen tennial Exposition may be made an occa sion of highest practical utility and in dustrial importance. For presentation to tho people of tho United States of the coming development of Oriental com merce and tho relations of our country to it, through our" Pacific ports, and through our position In tho Philippine Islands, over against the coasts of Asia, where now we are in contact with one half of the human race, this celebration will come most opportunely. This cen tenary may be taken as a high event, a lofty standpoint, in the march of our his tory, from which we may "look before and after." It offers itself as a basis for an idealizing Interpretation of tho growth and destiny of the United States, through the movement westward across the Continent of America, and through the basis thus established there for con nection with the Eastern Hemisphere, by westward routes over a sea marked hitherto by few keels, but destined yet to bear a great part of the commerce of the globe. Opportunity It Presents. "The immensity of tho trans-Pacific world, and the opportunity It presents to our endeavor must mako a deep impress upon Americans. Asia and Oceanica com prise more than 21,000,000 square miles, or over one-third ot the total land area of tho earth. The population is nearly 50, 000,000, or more than half of that of the world. China and its dependencies, Japan, Asiatic Russia and Corea, have over 435, 000,000 inhabitants, or five times the total population of the United States and Its possessions. Asia and tho Islands of the Pacific annually buy and sell goods val ued at 52,900,000,000. If the "United States should buy from Asia and Oceanica all it Imports, and sell to Asia and Oceanica all it exportB, It would exhaust the sum total of its foreign commerce, and Asia and Oceanica, to meet their requirements, would have to go into the other markets of the world with over 5600,000,000 worth of commodities a year. In other words, Asia and Oceanica can "buy and sell" the United States, as the saying Is, without seriously 'disturbing the equilibrium of their commerce. Ia Its relation to this vast trade field, the United States is now practically an unimportant factor. Of Its total liriports a little over 14 tper cent comes from Asia, and V per cent from Oceanica. Of Its exports Asia takes 44 per cent and Oceanica not quite 2 per cent. r "The expedition of Lewis and Clark, though as humble an undertaking as the settlement at Jamestown and Plymouth, was the starting point of our great "U est ward expansion. Footing for the United States on the North Pacific Coast of America was conceived by Jefferson be fore the feeblo colonies on the Atlantic Seaboard had passed through the firstj inroes oi conesion. leayara maae tne initial move, but failed for reasons be yond his control. Then came Lewis and Clark, who took possession of the North west Coast In tho name of tho United States. The expedition of Lewis and Clark led to the occupation and settle ment by American citizens of the great Oregon country. American occupation of tho Northwest Coast was the fixed policy of Jefferson when the purchase of Louis iana was beyond the hope of tho most ardent expansionist. It preceded by 45 years tho acquisition of California, to which it was a contrlbutary cause, and by 40 years the annexation of Texas, to which it was closely allied. A further step to which it led was the purchase of Alaska. Though it was not among tho events that led up directly to the acqui sition of the Philippine Islands, it secures a position tho United States has gained there through another course of events. "The Lewis and Clark Centennial Expo sition will "complete the grand design of Columbus by putting Europe and Asia Into communication, and that to our ad vantage, through the heart of our coun try." It will be that monument to Co lumbus which Senator Benton, in his speech at St. Louis, in 1S49. Imagined would bo hewn from a granite mass of a peak of the Rocky Mountains, the sum mit itself the pedestal, and the statue a part of the mountain, pointing with out stretched arm to tho Western "horizon, and saying to the flying passengers: "There is East; there is India!" As a project to direct attention to the poten tialities of the Pacific West, and of the commerce of tho Pacific Ocean, it de serves tho cordial encouragement of Con gress." AKKESTED FOE VAGRANCY.

SHIP-TRUST MATTER AGAIN UP Its President Alleged to Have Been Guaranteed $100,000 if He Would Give Up Own .Plan for That of Steel Corporation. NEW YORK, Nov. 24. Testimony of a sensational nature was Introduced at the United States shipbuilding hearing, which was resumed today. During tho T ROUGH RIDER WILL LECTURE ON "DESTINY OF THE REPUBLIC Rev. Luther B. Mahone will de liver his celebrated lecture on "The Destiny of the Republic," at tne Mount Tabor M. E. Cburch, this evening at 7:45. Rev. Mr. Mahone was Captain of a company of Rough Riders In the Cuban campaign, un der President Roosavelt, and later had charge of educational work in the If land. Captain Mahone la now touring the state in the Interests of the Anti-Saloon League, as field sec retary. He toured the East for the Lecture Bureau last season, and among the many press comments the Journal. Chattanooga, Tens., published tho following: "As an author, scientist, soldier, and Jour nalist, Captain Mahone stands with out a parallel." The nubile Is Invited to attend ibo lecture. No admission fee will be charged. course of his re-direct examination of Lewis Nixon, president of tbe Ship building Company, Mr. Untcrmeyer, counsel for tho complainants, brought out from Mr. Nixon the statement that of tho 55,000,000 additional stock Issued when the company was reorganized to take in the Bethlehem Steel Company, 51,000,000 went to Max Pam, Mr. Schwab's counsel, and 51,000,000 each to Mr. Nixon, Mr. Dresser and tho Trust Company of the Republic, leav ing" 51,000,000, the disposition of which he did not know. Ho did not know whether Mr. Schwab obtained it.' It was also brought out at the same time the Sheldon reorganization plan was considorod that -Mr. Schwab of fered to purchase 5100,000 bonds, with tho accompanying bonus of 25,000 shares of common and 25,000 shares of preferred stock, issued to Mr. Nixon for 590,000, while the market value was far less than this, Mr. Untermeyer making tho direct charges that this was in the nature of a bribe to Induce Mr. Nixon to agree to the Sheldon plan of reorganization, instead of the plan for an assessment of stock, which ho had previously advocated. The of fer was shown in two letters of Mr. Schwab to Joseph HI Hoadley, dated May 2G, 1903, copies of which were in troduced in evidence. Mr. Hoadley, it was testified, had conducted tn"b nego tiations with Mr. Schwab when Mr. Nixon was endeavoring to persuade Schwab to accede to the assessment plan, and had, after the proposal, urged Nixon to accede to the Sheldon plan. Nixon said that at Koadley's request he had dono so. "I think the testimony today shows clearly that there has been no settle ment," said Mr. Untermeyer during- tho recess. At tho conclusion of the session Mr. Nixon gavo out for publication a letter he had received from Mr. Hoadley vln answer to Nixons reouest for copies of tho correspondence between Schwab and; Hoadley. Schwab Not in Attendance. Tho attendance was scarcely half as large as at previous hearings. Charles M. Schwab, formerly one of tho regular attendants, was not present, though rep resented by Max Pam, his personal counsel. Nixon was tho first witness. His re direct examination was conducted by Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the bondholders. On the resumption of the re-direct ex amination, Mr. Untermeyer again took Mr. Nixon over tho affairs of the Bethle hem Steel Company and Its connections with the Shipbuilding Company. Mr. Nixon declared himself ignorant of the af fairs of tho Bethlehem Steel Company be fore its acquisition by tho Shipbuilding Company, having mado no investigation thereof, and having relied upon the re ports of tho accountants. For matters since that time he generally referred Mr. Untermeyer to the minutes of the meet ings, declining to testify to matters of record, and in regard to the listing of tho shipbuilding securities he adhered to his previous attitude, that he had left this to Judge Gary and Mr. Pam, who, he said, had completo charge of the matter. In this connection Mr. Untermeyer embarked on a. long course of questioning about the relation of the shipbuilding company and the constituent companies when the sev eral plants and their assets had been leased back to the constituent companies. Under the circumstances, Mr. Nixon said ho was unable to speak with, author ity on so complicated "a point of law, especially as he had no opportunity to consult the leases. The leases were sent for. An Amateur in Business. Mr. Nixon was then asked to relate the steps he took In opposition to the Sheldon reorganization when an assessment on the stock of the Shipbuilding Company was suggested to him by Joseph H. Hoadley, and he and Mr. Hoadley endeavored to persuade Mr. Schwab to consent to this plan. During this relation Mr. Nixon de scribed himself as "an amateur In the business," and then Mr. Guthrie objected to the whole statement. Mr. Untermeyer said he had no objection to striking out Mr. Nixon's reference to amateurism. Mr. Untermeyer offered In evidence two letters from Charles M. Schwab to Mr. Hoadley offering to purchase certain stock and bonds in tho-Shipbuilding Company. Mr. Nixon admitted the stocks and bonds referred to were those given him at the formation of the company In- case the Sheldon reorganization plan was agreed to. Mr. Guthrie immediately objected to these letters, but Mr. Untermeyer declared it relevant as showing that "Mr. Schwab bribed or attempted to bribe the president of the Shipbuilding Company to agree to a plan of reorganization which he had previously objected to." Mr. Untermeyer thrlco repeated this statement about attempted bribery, and finally secured the admission of one of the letters, the authenticity of the other, a copy, being unproven. Tho letter was .as follows: "New York, May 26, 1903. Joseph H. Hoadley, New York: Dear Sir Providing the United States Shipbuilding Company reorganization is perfected, I hereby guarantee to take and pay for 5100,000 of first mortgage bonds of tho United States Shipbuilding, 25,000 shares of preferred and 25,000 shares of common stock, for the sum of 590.000, plus Interest on said bonds, on or before December 1, 1&03, said bonds and , stocks to be deposited with Messrs. Mclntyre & Marshall, 74 Broad way, New York, and to bo exchanged for securities of the reorganized company, as designed by agreement Issued by the re organization committee. Very truly yours, "a M. SCHWAB." Tho second letter, which was later ad mitted as evidence, Is as follows: "New York. May 26, .1503. Mr. Joseph H. Hoadley, New York. Dear Sir: Provid ing the United States Shipbuilding Com pany reorganization is perfected I hereby guarantee to pay to your order 540,000, amount of payment which has been made to the Sheldon syndicate on a subscrip tion of 5100,000, made by Lewis Nixon. I also agree to have said subscriptions placed to my account and guarantee to have a completo release issued to said Nixon by said Sheldon syndicate. "CHARLES M. SCHWAB." "After the date of these letters did or did not Mr. Hoadley get you to accept this plan?" asked Mr. Untenmeyer. Mr- Nixon explained that Mr. Hoadley ,,, Bev. Luther T. Mahone, who serred as captain in Cuban campaign. 4 advised him to consent to tho Sheldon re organization because Mr- Schwab had re fused to accept the assessment plan and that he (Nixon) had thereupon written a letter recommending the Sheldon plan. "As to my deriving any profit from the transaction that Is nonsense," said Mr. Nixon. "The transaction concerned others and I prefer that they should tell it." Mr. Untenmeyer served a request upon Mr. Guthrie to produce certain letters In Mr. Schwab's possession concerning the plan. Mr. Nixon then testified to writing to Mr, Schwab later and obtaining from him a letter confirmatory of the proposal In the letter of May 2G to Mr. Hoadley. Mr. Schwab's letter stated the proposal was contingent upon tho success of the Sheldon reorganization plan and Mr. Nixon said that ho then let the matter drop. Mr. Untermeyer took up tho matter of the additional compensation demanded by the Trust Company of the Republic for its services, and witness testified to the is suance of 55,000,000 additional stock at the reorganization. Of this stock it was brought out that Max Pam obtained 5L 000,000, Mr. Nixon and Mr. Dresser 51,000, 000 each, and tho Trust Company of tho Republic 51.000,000. Mr. Nixon said he did not know what disposition was made of the other million. "Did Mr. Schwab get it?" "I don't know." Mr. Nixon was asked about his previous acquaintance wlth Mr. Schwab, and the connection of the Carnegie and Bethlehem Companies with the United States Ship building Company, with a view, Mr. Un termeyer said, to bringing out Mr. Schwab's knowledge of shipbuilding af fairs before his connection with the com pany. Witness said an agreement wa3 made by which tho shipbuilding com pany was to obtain steel for foreign ships from the Carnegie Company at a price enabling It to compete with foreign build ers. Ha was asked about the bids sub mitted by the United States Shipbuilding Company this year on two battleships of the American Navy, and testified that he was not allowed to submit tho bids pre pared by himself, but other bids drawn up under Mr. Pam's direction and signed by Mr. Hascomb, of tho Eastern Shipyards Company, were submitted instead. The agreement of July 2, 1203, between Nixon, Dresser and Schwab, providing that Schwab should lend to Nixon and Dresser 57,246,871 to purchase the Bethle hem stock from J. P. Morgan Sz. Co., as syndicate as managers, in return for which Schwab was to receive 515,000,000 in stock and 510,000,000 in bonds, was In troduced In evidence, Mr. Nixon testify ing that he had always understood that Schwab, and not Morgan & Co., owned the Bethlehem stock. After devoting some time to a discussion of the real value of tho constituent plants and the reasonableness of the prices paid for them, the hearing was adjourned until Tuesday, December 8. Hearing for Receiver Put Off. NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 24. Tho hear ing of the application for a permanent receiver for the United States Ship building Company, made by the Mercan tile Trust Company of New York, as trustee of a 516,000,000 mortgage, has beerr adjourned until December 8.
