Opponents Assert Christian Science
Is "Delusion and Cannot Be
Termed . 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.

Say Bonaparte Is In Disfavor.
NEW YORK. Aug. 20. The Journal Of
Commerce quotes unnamed New Y ork-

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."

' 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

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. "
