THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THTTRSD AT, APRIL 18, 1907. RECALL MEMORY OF PATRIOT DEEDS Work Undertaken by Daugh ters of American Revolution. FATHERS GAINED LIBERTY Spirit of ncrolulfcon Kept Alive, Flags Guarded 1-Yom Desecration, Historic Kelics Preserved, Pa triotism Tauslit Immigrants. FT FREDERIC J. HASKIN. WASHINGTON, April 12. (Special Correspondence.) A flax wheel and a riistaff with the motto, "Home and Country," are the insignia of the now famous organization known as the DauKhters of the American Revolution. Nearly 50.000 women are living up to the meaning of the words. While many of their grandmothers wove the blue end brown cloth for family wear, these women are weaving the wider fabric of patriotism to cover the whole country. The woof is found ready for them in the shape of heroic deeds of ancestors, homes and haunts of patriots and present-day appreciation of good deeds. The warp they furnish In their own enthusiasm and cleverness, and the re sult is a fabric that will ultimately mean much for the Nation. Preserve Revolutionary Memories. The movement for forming an organ ization of women descendants of those who had fought in the Revolution was started in "Washington, I. C. in 1890. An article appeared in a Washington paper calling attention to the work be ing done by the men who were de scended from patriot soldiers and sail ors of the Revolution, also pointing out the work that women had done in those days and stiggesting that a movement be put on foot to bring those interested together. This letter was signed by Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood and It was the inspiration for the forma tion of the organization now known as The daughters of the American Revolution. The object was to per petuate tho memory and spirit of men and women of the Revolutionary period, to collect and preserve histori cal hmiI biographical records, documents nnd relics, and to obtain portraits of rrnlm-nt American women. From the frst this has been a National organi zation. The first meeting was held on the nnnlversary of the discovery of America. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, wife of the then chief executive, was unanimously elected president-general. The design of a woman at the spinn ing' wheel, wr.s chosen as the official seal at the suggestion of Miss Mary Tesha, to correspond with the seal of the men's organization, which showed a man at the plow. At Mrs. Flora Adams Darling's suggestion the motto 'Home and Country" was chosen Holds Continental Congress. In March. 1891. the first chapter formed in the United States was or ganized in Chicago, with Mrs. Frank Osborne as regent. The annual meet ing of the D. A. R.t known as the Con tinental Congress, is held in Washing ton, those who may attend officially being the active officers of the Nation al Society, one state regent from each state, and one regent and a delegate from each chapter in the United States. Chapters having fifty members are en titled to one delegate, with an addi tional delegate for every twenty-five members over this number. The first Continental Congress was held on Feb ruary S2. 1892. The first definite work they undertook was the completion of the monument to Mary Washington, three-fourths of the necessary Jll.OOO being subscribed by the P. A. R. Tn 1W7 the general society hon ored the four founders. Mrs. Mary S. T.ockwood. Miss Kugenla Washington. iMIss Unry Iesha and Mrs. Ellen Hardon Walworth, with special medals. In 1904 the date of the annual Continental Con Itress was changed from February 23 to the anniversary of the Battle of Lexing ton. April 19. Many Real Daughters Live. An effort to discover how many real daughters of Revolutionary soldiers still lived met with astonishing results. Many or the soldiers who were young at the close of the war married late -in life and left children to Inherit their names and honors. Several hundred of these rinughters were found and admitted to the local chapters in various parts of the country, though time has taken heavy toll of them lately and the number has been greatly reduced. Bach daughter that the chapters were able to locate was given a souvenir spoon made especially for this purpose, and in one instance it proved to be the only bit of silver In a desolate mountain home in Georgia, whose poverty was later relieved by the care of the local chapter. Many "real daughters" were pensioned by special act of Congress, but moro have been cared for by chapters as a patriotic obligation. Hall of National Records. The president-general of the D. A. R. lias always been a woman of National prominence. The first was Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, who died In office. She was suc ceeded by Mrs. Adlai Stevenson. The others were Mrs. Daniel Manning, Mrs. John W. Foster. Mrs. Charles W. Fair banks and then Mrs. Donald McLean, the present incumbent. In lS9t) Mrs. Mary S. l.ockwood urged that measures be taken to establish in Washington a hall for keepins t Me records of the society. The curncrton was laid with much ceremony cn April 19. 11-C4. This building fulfills a dreariL of George Washington, who hoped tn see a National hall where the records pertaining to the achievements of the men of the Nation might be carefuily preserved. This building, now almost completed. Is an imposing structure that will comfortably hold the conventions and various meetings of the D. A. R.. will provide fireproof space for housing the records and will stand as a monu ment to the patriotism of the women of America who have built it. The grounds cost a little over J50.ono and the building between SJ00.00O and .0ot. Guard Flag, Instill Patriotism. The chapters throughout the country have left little undone in the way of pro moting patriotism and tn commemorating the deeds of brave men and women. They have worked among the law-makers until the National Government and many states have set about safeguarding the flag from advertising purposes. They have purchased and repaired historic buildings. They have marked the graves of soldiers and sailors of the Revolution and of women who performed acts of heroism. They have offered prises for the purpose of encouraging the study of his uuc have had chairs of American history established in colleges, have sent out cir culating libraries relative to American history and have sent out lecturers to deliver free talks on this subject. But their most telling work is the gathering in of children from among the foreign elements In our population and teaching them about this country, its Institutions, its aims, its general great ness, and,, above all, teaching them a love and reverence for the flag. Most gratifying results have been achieved from this work, and today there is no small amount of genuine patriotism among Uncle Sam's little citizens of for eign birth or of Immediate foreign ex traction. In fact, there are many in stances where the young foreigner is al ready more deeply rooted in the facts relating to the history of this country than some native citizens, who are doub ly unfortunate in that they reside in remote parts and have parents who have neglected their education. Preserves Historic Relics. The D. A. R. owns much property that Is historic, having purchased it to pre vent its desecration by people with mis taken ideas of what constitutes progress. They have bought the famous old Ells worth home at Windsor, Conn.: Nathan Hale's little schoolhouse at New Lon don, Conn.; the Royal House, at Medford, Mass.; the Meadow Garden House, home of George Walton, a Georgia signer of the Declaration i of Independence; the spot at Vineyard Haven, Mass., where three women blew up a liberty pole in front of a building to keep the British from using it as 'a mast; the famous old blockhouse at Pittsburg, which a rail road was about to demolish; the Hendrik Hudson house, on the Hudson; the Put nam cottage, at Greenwich, Conn.; the Spalding house, at Lowell, Mass.; the "Ole Skulehouse." at Chelsea, Mass.: the old colonial Daggett house, at Pawtucket; the old powder magazine, at Hamilton. O.; and the old fort that was named for Alexander Hamilton in 1791, which became in turn a jail, a school, a pri vate dwelling, a clubroom and a museum. Trees From Thirteen Colonies. Wherever there is a historic spot to preserve, "The Daughters" go about tak ing care of it. They have restored the banquet-room in Independence Hall, Phil adelphia, to its 1776 style, and are preserv ing the home of Betsy Ross. When there Is no work of this kind, they in still the gospel of patriotism in some other way. In San Francisco they set out an arcade of trees In Golden Gate Park, one from each of the 13 original colonies. These trees were generally taken from historic spots. New Hamp shire sent maple from the Stark house, and Connecticut a slip from the famous Charter Oak. Atlanta has a copy of the famous Cralgie house, in Cambridge. Mass.; Savannah has erected a monu ment to Governor Oglethorpe: Lexington, Ky., has erected a monument to the women of Bryan Station: and Rome. N. Y., has marked the sites of old Forts Bull and Stanwix. Monuments to Patriots. The D. A. R. of Tennessee secured an appropriation of $5000 a year from the state to support a chair in American history at the Peabody Normal Institute. In Tacoma, Wash., it has undertaken civic improvement with a will. In New ton, Mass.. a memorial has been erect ed to John Eliot, "the apostle to the Indians." In Roanoke, Va., a monument has been put up at the grave of General Andrew Lewis, the hero of the Battle of Point Pleasant. The chapter at Jack sonville, Kla.. has preserved the old in scription on the Spanish monument there. The Kansas chapters have been Instru mental in preserving the famous old Santa Fe trail by having marks set along its course. The chapter at Bay City, Mich., is saving the old lighthouse at the mouth of the Saginaw River, one of the oldest Government structures in the country, and the Colonial Chapter, in Minneapolis, Is doing patriotic settlement work among the poor of the foreign quarter. Tomorrow Woman's Christian Association. DEDICATE THEIR PORTICO Funds Raised by Daughters of Revo lution to Build Continental Hall. WASHINGTON. April 17. The fea tures of today's proceedings of the Con tinental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution were the dedication of the memorial portico at the Memorial Continental Hall and the collection of contributions to swell the Continental Hall building fund. The delegates tonight were given a recep tion at the Library of Congress. Practically the entire afternoon ses sion was devoted to the announcement of contributions to the building fund by various state chapters. Already the organization had accumulated a fund of $250,000 for this purpose, and It is belte.ved that with today's contributions there will be nearly enough, to pay for the building. The National Society of the Children of tho American Revolution, a kindred organization which Is also holding Its annual convention, will make its an nual pilgrimage to the tomb of George Washington at Mount Vernon tomor row. Mrs. Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, national president, has requested many of the daughters to accompany the children on this trip. At the dedication the regents of the 13 original states stood upon tho por tico, which is south of the building, looking toward the Potomac. C. W. Needham, president of the George Washington University, delivered a short address. Mrs. McLean, president general, then formally declared the memorial portico dedicated. The Children of the American Revo lution, who were to have participated In the exercises, were not present, but were represented by their president, Mrs. Dubois, who, in an address, said the children had raised about $2600 toward the memorial fund. The congress will elect officers to morrow, and Mrs. McLean's friends are making the claim that sufficient votes have been pledged to re-elect her president-general. War in Tobacco States. CLARKSV1LLE, Tenn., April 17. The destruction of tobacco-plant beds in this district by "night riders" has reached an alarming stage and it is feared that, unless the depredations are stopped, there will be an unusually light crop. During the past week a number of plant beds have been salted and the plants killed. Trainmen have been threatened with violence If they hauled tobacco-growers not connected with the growers' association. Library for South Bend. SOUTH BEND. Wash., AprU 17. (Spe cial.) A library and free reading-room is now assured for this city, as subscrip tions and donations exceeding 1000 were offered the Council last night with the assurance that the sura would be doubled by the next Council meeting. The Mayor will then appoint library trustees and also arrange for a librarian. There Is also a strong probability that a library building will be erected by popular subscription. Rheumatic Pains Relieved. Chamberlain's Pain Balm relieves rheu matic pains and makes sleep and rest possible, which is alone worth many times its cost. B. F. Crocker. Esq., now 84 years of age, and for twenty years Justice of the Peace at Martinsburg, Iowa, says: "I am terribly afflicted with sciatic rheumatism in my left arm and right hip. 1 have used three bottles of Chamberlain's Fain Halm and it did me lots of good."

Scientist Is Incompetent Vigorously Denied tn Answer Filed and That the Complaint Is Scandalous. CONCORD, N: H., April 17. The charge that the suit for an accounting of the property of. Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, filed March 1, was not brought in good faith by the so-called "next friends" named in the suit , is contained in the answer of the defendants filed hero to day. The defendants charge that these "next friends" have been induced to lend their names for use in the suit "at the Instigation of certain evil-minded persons not related in any way to said Mary Baker G. Eddy or having any interest in her or her estate." The answer is a general denial of all the allegations made by the complainants in the original action George W. Glover, Mary Baker Glover and George W. Baker, who sued as Mrs. Eddy's "next friends." Litigation Already Involved. The proceedings today furnished the latest chapter in the story of the litiga tion which already has become involved by the transfer by Mrs. Eddy of all her property to three trustees Henry M. Baker,. Archibald McLellan and Josiah E. Fernald who have petitioned the court to be substituted as plaintiffs in place of the original parties, and the answer to this petition, filed by the latter, declar ing that the deed of trust was illegal on account of the alleged incompetency of the grantor to create the trust. The specifications in the original bill are that Mrs. Eddy is and for a long time has been incompetent to do business v to undertake transactions conducted in her name: that the defendants whose answer was filed today, with other leaders of the Christian Science Church who were named in the original bill, have pos sessed themselves of the property of Mrs. Eddy and have carried on her business; that on account of Mrs. Eddy's infirmity these persons are bound to give account of all transactions undertaken In her name, and that the defendants have wrongfully converted to their own use property belonging to the church. To these representations the defendants filed specific and detailed denial. They declare that the suit was not brought in good faith. The defendants, Alfred Farlow, Ira O. Knapp William D. Johnson, Stephen A. Chase, Joseph Armstrong and Edward A. Kimball in their answer to the bill of complaint, deny that Mrs. Eddy's mental faculties are so impaired by the infirmi ties of age or otherwise as to render her Incapable of managing her affairs and protecting her property against undue i fluence, control or fraud of others, or that she is Incapable of taking charge and managing the present or any other legal proceedings. They also deny she is in charge and custody of the defendants, Frye or of anyone else. ' Allegations Immaterial. The defendants say that the allegations in the bill of complaint are in large part Immaterial, scandalous and irrelevant and that they ought not to be called on to make answer thereto, and pray the judg ment of the Court thereupon. Defendant Armstrong denies that he is the publish er of all the Christian Science works, as alleged, but says that he is a publisher of Mrs. Eddy's personal writings and that he had periodically and fully' accounted for and turned over to her all royalties and profits from such publications. The other defendants admitting their respec tive connection with the Christian Sci ence organization, deny taht they have received any moneys or income belonging to Mrs. Eddy or that such income ts con trolled or retained In any way by them. The defendants say they have ' no knowledge or information respecting the nature and extent of the property of Mrs. Eddy and deny that they have ever wrongfully converted to their own pri vate use or otherwise misappropriated or unlawfully diverted any money or prop erty of Mrs. Eddy. The defendants further say that they believe that the 1)111 of complaint 13 not brought in good faith for the purpose of protecting her person and property. They charge that the so-called "next friends" are such only in name and that' they have been Induced to loan their names for use in the suit at the instigation of certain evil-minded persons, not related in any way to Mrs. Eddy or having any interest in her or her estate, and who are furnishing, money for the prosecution of the suit for their own evil purposes and to advance their own selfish inter ests. These persons, the defendants al lege, are hostile to Mrs. Eddy and to the religious principles of which she Is the founder. Want Proof Produced. The defendants demand proof of all the material matters complained of which are not admitted specifically, and they say they ought not to make this or any answer to the bill because It is multifari ous, vague and indefinite and filled with Immaterial, scandalous and irrelevant matter and does not set forth any cause of action under the State laws of New Hampshire. Besides the Boston defendants. C. A. Frye, Irving C. Tomlinson, H. S. Her ring and Lewis C. Strang, of Concord, the New Hampshire resident, among the defendants named in the original bill In equity, also filed their answer today. Mr. Frye says he has been In Of.

During all the time her -house at Concord and all other houses in which she has resid ed; together with all persons employed or connected therewith, have always been under the absolute control and direction of Mrs. Eddy. Mrs. Eddy determines for herself whom she will see and the length of time that will be given for that pur pose, according1 to Mr. Frye's answer, and the defendant denies that he ever, personally or in conjunction with oth ers, refused to allow any one to see Mrs. Eddy or that he limited the time to be allowed to persons desiring to confer with her, except in accordance with the rules prescribed by Mrs. Eddy for the conduct of her household and business. The answer of Strang is practically the same as that of Frjr, while the answers of Tomlinson end Herring vary only insofar as theJr re lations with .Mrs. Eddy differ from those of Frye and Strang. ITER FOR IDAHO CANAL SHOSHONE FAIiLS ITJRXISHES NEEDED POWER. Seventy-Mile Canal Tapping Snake River to Irrigate 2000 Farms Ready in 1908. OMAHA. Neb., April 17. (Special. If present plans materialize as expected, Shoshone Falls -will be harnessed and its enormous power utilized in the develop ment of the latent resources of the sur rounding country within a short time. H. I. Hollister, of Chicago, with a party of 12 capitalists went west this morning on the Oevrland Limited to make filings in Idaho with the intention, of developing the electric power at the falls and the new land on which the power ' will be marketed. Mr. Hollister is enthusiastic over the proposition and declares the big project which has been the dream of many years is about to be realized. A great canal, 70 miles long and big enough to float a ship, is to be completed before the Spring of i908. and the power for the construction of this canal will be furnished by the falls. By the time the canal Is finished the 250,000 acres of land lying north of Snake River will be cut Into 20O0 farms and be ready for the waters of the Snake River. CAN WIN ONLY TO LOSE (Continued from First Page.) East to Pacific Coast points, where would Spokane merchants buy their goods?" "Such a plan would bring water com petition very much nearer Spokane," he replied. "The merchants of that city would buy their goods from Pacific Coast ports." Mr. Woodworth further said: "If the rates from the East to Spokane are too high, those' from Portland to the interior country are also." Richard Koehler, purchasing agent for the Northwestern lines of the Harriman system, was called and testified that the cost of materials purchased by the rail roads has increased on the average 64 per cent since 1897.
