Boyd, until recently pastor of the Sellwood Methodist Church. With her husband she was on her way to Atlanta. Ga., where Rev. Boyd had just accepted the call of the First Methodist Church In that city. He was troubled with tubercular ailment and It was thought the Southern climate would benefit him. Mrs. Boyd was about 25 years old, and her little son was 10 years old. Although the Boyds had lived In Portland only since last September they had made many friends here and were regarded very highly. Mrs. Boyd was a thoroughly good woman and all who knew her here be came much attached to her. Mrs. Boyd's home was in Detroit, Mich., nnd a sad feature of her sudden death Is that she planned to visit her parents r.cxt Summer, taking with her the boy, vho the grandparents had never seen. Rev. Mr, Boyd and his wife came to the Sellwood Church last September from Ttospburg, where he was pastor of the First Church for some time. He received an urgent call to come here and accepted Jt. lie lpft the city Sunday at midnight on his way to Atlanta, stopping off at ItoHPburg for a brief visit. Mrs. Boyd loft Portland Tuesday night with her Ut ile son. joining her husband at Roseburg. end they were to go by the Southern route to their new home In Atlanta.

GALA WEEK AT BAY CITY Series of Land and Water Pageants Offered Fleet. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 9. A land and water display was outlined yesterday for San Francisco in an address to the citizens read at a meeting of the Mayor's committee for the reception of the United States battleship fleet on Its arrival here. Daily and nightly for not less than a week this city will be the scene of. pageants and various forms of entertainment and gaiety in honor of the 22,000 officers and men who will represent the power of the Nation afloat. Decorations and illumin ations will give to the streets and har bor a gala effect and embarcaderos, pavilions and triumphal arches will be constructed, while balls, theater parties, outings and athletic sports will give the last touch to the entertainment programme. One hundred thousand dollars will be expended to sustain the reputation of San Francisco for hospitality and of the Pacific Coast for patriotism. Thla sura will be raised by subscription from the people and by municipal appropria tion. HUGHES WILL BE TESTED (Continued from First Page.) he Is sincere In his belief that these things have strengthened the G. O. P. and not injured it. His whole con ception of public life, however, seems to them fatal to the preservation of MAP OF THE CHICAGO GREAT WESTER X, WHICH HAS GONE IN TO THE HANDS OF RECEIVERS. party strength. But there Is one dif ference between the positions of the two men. Parsons is a Roosevelt lieu tenant, and In much that he does that seems hostile to the Governor is act ing on the direction of the President. Speaker Wadsworth, however, does not represent the President. His dec laration against ballot reform repre sents his own person opinion, and is no part of any general plan of hostility against the Governor. Already Wads worth has assumed a commanding po sition in the politics of the state, de spite his youth, and the humiliating defeat of his father, the veteran mem ber of Congress who was disgracefully beaten for re-election In 1906. The younger Wadsworth is now the leading candidate for Governor, and with Hughes out of the race, by his own declaration, the Speaker seems fairly certain to land the nomination. So the present session of the Legis lature eeems fraught with importance to two men who are now largely in the public eye. It may make Hughes the candidate for President, or it may eliminate him. And the future of young Speaker Wadsworth depends upon the strength that he displays In the next few months. Although the odds are against Hughes, it is an in teresting fact that politicians generally are afraid he will win out. "I fall to eee how he can do it," re marked a State Senator today: "but he generally does. Anyhow, It will be a pretty fight." And that Is a prediction that meets with general approval. BOOM HUGHES FOR PRESIDENT Xew York Republicans Feast and Applaud His Message. NFW YORK. Jan. 9. The candidacy of Governor Hughes for the Republican Pres idential nomination was launched at a Hughes dollar dinner," given by the enrolled Republicans of the Twenty-ninth Assembly district at Terry Garden tonight. The Governor was not present, but sent a telegram, as follows: I thank you for your lnvitaUon to attend the dinner this evening- and I regret that on aceount of my engagements here 1 cannot be present. I highly appreciate your friendly words. The Republican party has been, and is, the party of progress and of opportunity. It should bo the earnest desire of every Re publican to contribute 6o far as he may to make the party a constantly effective In strument for the correction of abuses and for conserving the rights and opportunities of al by Impartial and straightforward adminis tration. So far as I am. personally con cerned. I have no wish to express save that nothing should be left undone to accomplish those ends. The speakers included Seth Low and Dr. Robert Stuart MacArthur and their ar guments in support of Mr. Hughes' candi dacy were greeted by the 300 diners with tumultuous applause. All of the speakers declared that he should be New York state's candidate. Russian Tourists In Plot. LAUSANNE. Switzerland, Jan. . Eleven alleged Russian tourists.

TUTS POSITION INJUNCTIONS Explains Reforms He Favors in Letter to Labor Leader. DEFINES RIGHTS OF LABOR Notification to All Concerned Be fore Injunction Issues Don't Let S Judge Try Charge of Con tempt of Own Court. MARTINS FERRY, O.. Jan. 9. The views of William H. Taft, Secretary of War, In regard to he use and abuse of injunctions are stated in a letter In reply to questions propounded by Llewellyn Lewis, secretary of the Ohio Federation of Labor, given out here to day. . Mr. Taft prefaces his statement with a declaration that he believes It to be "highly beneficial and entirely law ful for laborers to unite in their ctfm- mon Interests. Proceeding directly to the answer of the question propounded, he says: - Define Rights of Laborers. First you ask me what I would think of the enactment of a law defining the cases in which a temporary restraining order may issue and defining in spe cific terms the language in which such order may be framed. I see no objec tion to the enactment of a statute which shall define the rights of labor ers in their controversies with their former employers. As this statute would fix the full limits of their ac tion, it would necessarily furnish a definite rule for determining the cases In which injunctions might Issue, as well as ther character and scope. It Should be said that this statute, how ever, if enacted by Congress, could re late enly to the District of Colum bia or some place within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Government, or to those employers and employes whose relations are within congression al definition and control. Generally, the law governing the relations between employer and employe Is a state law and is only enforced in the Federal Courts when the jurisdiction arises by reason of the diverse citizenship of the parties. Speaking, generally, however, both as to Federal and state legislation, I see no objection to a statute which shall, so far as possible, define the rights of both parties in such con troversies more accuratelv. Indeed, the more exactly the lawful limitations on the actions of both parties are under stood, the better for them and for the public. t Require Xotice Before Injunction. Stcond Tou ask me what T think of a proposition that no restraining order or injunction shall issue except after notice to the defendant and a hearing Is had. This was the rule under the Federal statutes for many, many years. uui i. suosequenuy aooiisnea. in the class-of cases to which you refer, I ao not see any objection to the re enactment of that Federal statute. In deed. I have taken nncflalon t wv In public speeches that the power to issue injunctions ex-parte nas given rise to certain abuses and injustice to the laoorers engaged in a peaceable strike. Men leave employment on a srrlWe? counsel for the employer applies to a judge and presents an affidavit aver ring fear of threatened violence and making such a case on the ex-parte statement that the Judge feels called upon to issue a temporary injunction The temporary restraining order Is served on all the strikers; they are not lawyers; their fears are aroused by the process with which thev are not ac quainted; and, although their purpose may have been entirely lawful, their common determination to carry through the strike Is - weakened by an order which they never have had an onnor- tunlty to question and which is calcu lated to discourage their action. - To avoid tnis injustice. I believe, as have already said, that the Federal statute might welt be made what it was originally, requiring notice and a nearing beiore an injunction Issue. Third In answer to vour miestlon it would see that it is unnecessary to impose any limitation as to the time Tor a tinai hearing lr, before an in junction can issue at all, notice and hearing must be given. The third question is relevant and proper only. shoul.1 the power of Issuing ex-parte injunctions be retained In the court. Tn such case I should think it eminent ly proper that the statute should re quire the court Issuing an ex-parte in junction to give the person against whom the injunction was issued an op portunity to have hearing thereon within a very short space of time, not to exceed, I should say. three or four days. x Change Judge in Contempt Case. Fourth Tour fourth query is in ef fect, what I would think of a provision in such cases by which the contemner that is. the person charged with the violation of an order of injunction might object to the Judge who issued the injunction as the one to try the issue whether the injunction had been violated and to fix punishment in case o'f conviction, and thereby require an other Judge to try the Issue and im pose sentence if necessary. In Federal courbi in such a case it would be proper to provide that the senior Cir cuit Judge of the Circuit Court should, upon the application of the defendant or contemnor, designate another dis trict or Circuit Judge to sit and hear the issue presented. I do not think such a restriction would be unreason able. In most cases it would be un- necessahy. but I admit that there Is a popular feeling that In contempt pro ceedings, and the very name of the firoceedings suggests it, the judge issu ng the injunction has a personal sensi tiveness in respect to its violation and therefore he does not bring to the trial of the issue presented by the charge of contempt of his order the calm, judi cial mind -which insures iustlce. I think that this popular feeling is In most cases unfounded, but I believe that it is better, where it can be aone without Injuring the authority of the court and the efficiency of its process, to grant such a privilege to the contemnor and thus avoid appear ance of injustice, even at some incon venience in the matter of securing an-J other judge. There is some analogy. tnougn it is not complete, Deiween me exclusion of a judge from sitting in the Court of Appeals to review a decision of his own, which now obtains in the practice of the Federal Court of Ap peals by statute, and the present sug gested case. Opposes Jury in Contempt Case. It Is of the highest importance that the authority of the court to enforce Its own orders effectively should not be weakened, and therefore I am opposed to the Intervention of a jury between the eourt'u decree and -its enforcement by contempt procedlngs. It would mean long aeiay ana greaiiy weanen me au thority of the court. I do not think that the nermlssion to change the judge, however, would constitute either serious delay or injure me eiticacy i the order, while it may secure greater public confidence in the justice of the court's action.

PARTY STILL SPLIT Bay State Democrats to Hold Two Conventions. HAVE CONTEST AT DENVER Whitney Faction Holds State Com mittee Sleeting Bartlett Faction Will Meet Today Contesting Delegations Is Assured. BOSTON',1- Jan. 9. That the split In the ranks of the Democratic party in Massachusetts, manifested at the mem orable Btate convention at Sprtngrneia last October, Is still wide open, was shown today at a meeting In this city of 27 out of the 66 members of the state committee. Many members refused to attend and declared they would heed the call for what they consider the reg ular meeting; tomorrow. The call for today's meeting was is sued by William S. McNary. of Bdston. second vice-president of last year's state convention. The call for tomor row's meeting is by ' J. P. Feeney, of Woodburn, chairman of the state com mittee. It Is expected that there will be two state conventions this Spring, and that the claim of the two sets of Democrats to the Denver convention will have to be adjudicated by the Dem ocratic National committe. The call today was sent to the 3S members of the committee who were chosen at the district caucuses last Sep tember and also to the 18 members at large chosen at the Whitney conven tion in Springfield, which was subse quently decided by the ballot law com mission of the state to have been the regular Democratic state convention. The call for tomorrow's meeting has been sent to the" same district members and also to the members at large chosen by the Bartlett convention at Springfield. Of the 27 members who gathered at the Quincy House this afternoon, three later withdrew on what they called 1 "unfair treatment by the chairman." At the conclusion of the meeting Mr. McNary announced that the Democratic state committee had organized for the year by the election of officers and the adoption of a set of rules and by tak ing preliminary steps toward the call ing of the Spring convention.

DOUBTS MRS.EDDY'S SANITY HER SOX CONTEMPLATES SUIT TO PUT IT TO TEST. Lawyer Admits It and Mary Glover Evades Question Trust Fund Might Prove Basis. LEAD S.. E., Jan. 9. Judge Bennett, attorney for George Glover, today denied that his client had filed suit in any local courts to have Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, Glover'a mother, appear before an insan ity commission. He admitted, however, that there had been some talk of such a step. He declared that, if such action had been taken, it was In the New Hamp shire courts. Mary Glover, granddaughter of Mrs. Eddy, was interviewed, but evaded the question regarding action being taken in the courts. She said her father and mother had gone to the country and that their whereabouts and time of return were unknown to her. CONCORD. N. H., Jan. . There Is a suit pending which possibly might offer opportunity for an application to inquire into Mrs. Mary B. G. Eddy's sanity. Mrs. Eddy established a trust fund of $125,000 to be used for the benefit of her son, George W. Glover, and his children. This fund is now in the possession of General Frank S. Streeter, of Concord, serving as Mrs. Eddy's trustee. Glover has brought an action in the New Hamp shire courts asking that the court direct how this trust shall be administered, and it is possible that Mrs. Eddy's compe tency might be made an issue. INDICTED FOR CONSPIRACY Denver Grand Jury Holds Two tor Assassinating Walker. DENVER. Jan. 9. In an indictment re turned this afternoon by the Federal grand Jury. William R.
