came here in response to a summons
from the Secretary of War, today con

companies, if organized.

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

conserving the rights and opportunities of al

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.

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. The appearance of jus
tice to almost as Important as ine ex
istence of it in the administration of
courts.

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. The of
ficers were authorized to call caucuses
to elect delegates to the Spring- con

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

grand Jury. William R. Mason and Joseph
Vanderweide are charged with conspiracy

after he had fired upon- them. No
one else was indicted with them on the
charge of conspiracy. It is expected that
the state will turn the case over to the
United States authorities.
An indictment was returned against E.
