9 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MAT 26, 1907. STARTLING FACTS IT MRS. E Rage and Insane Fury When Interviewed. BEATS HER HEAD AND GHEST Concord Now Believes Double Impersonates Her. IS NOW NERVOUS WRECK Lawyer Admits . $100,000 of Her Funds Not Accounted, for Far low Hypnotizes Streeter While Addressing the Court. CONCORD, N. H., May 25. Speeial.) .Allegations of violently uncontrollable behavior on the part of Mrs. Eddy, cul minating In "a paroxysm of insane rage and fury." startled the Christian Science believers who crowded the court at yes terday's hearing- of the application . by the leader's relatives for an accounting of her property. To many among the spectators the statements of the plain tiff's lawyers carried conviction. There has evidently been a revulsion of feeling among Mrs. Eddy's friends anfl neighbors in Concord since the bill In equity was first filed. The fiction of Mrs. Kddy's daily drives through the streets, her face screened from the gaze of the curious by a sunshade inside the closed carriage, is still kept up, but men and women who for years never thought of doubting now smile a little sadly as the carriage passes. Concord folks are anxious for a trial which will bring out the entire truth. Believe Impersonation Story. Not in a spirit of antagonism, but wttb the keenest Interest and open minds, the majority of the Christian Scientists of this town listened to declarations of counsel yesterday. The story that a younger woman in the Pleasant View household had been used for years to Im personate Mrs. Eddy, at first ridiculed by the most devoted adherents of the Christian Science founder, is generally believed In Concord now, even by those who were most skeptical at first. The discovery of the Hering letter, telling of eternal strife In the Pleasant View clique raging around the head of an aged woman, for years a nervous wrecks, has shaken the confidence In the denials of the press bureaus, so lavishly circulated at each fresh exposure. Farlow Hypnotizes Streeter. The actions of Frederick Farlow In court yesterday made an Interesting study. He sat with the stenographers between the' Judge and the Jury-box. where he could face counsel. As Gen eral Streeter hesitated and showed em barrassment under- the court's fire of questions. Mr. Farlow fastened his eyes on those of his senior counsel and gazed at him fixedly. Women who are familiar with the methods of the cult whispered excitedly to one another and called attention to the chairman of the publication committee. Mr. Far low never took his gaze from General Streeter. Those professing to know Bald Mr. Farlow was bringing all his powers of mental concentration to bear on the lawyer's mind, .so as to Impress his will on the embarrassed counsel and to force him into com posure. It was a curious courtroom incident, which was much commented upon. Did Not Account for $100,000. Not the least interesting thing about the day's hearing was the light thrown upon the alleged audit of Mrs: Eddy's accounts for 14 years back, presented in the form o( an affidavit by Mr. Chase, of Boston. The accountant wore he had examined all the books, all statements of receipts and expen ditures and had listed all bonds and securities and as a conclusion found that Calvin A. Frye had accounted for very cent that he ever handled. Not withstanding this. General. Streeter was badgered into the . admission in court yesterday that just previous to March 6, hen the trust deed, was ex ecuted and 1871,000 turned over to the trustees, a sum in excess . of $100,000 was taken, from Mrs.. Eddy's funds and placed in General Streeter's safe. This was a trust fund, which Mrs. Eddy had hurriedly created for her 'son, George W. Glover. In all Mr. Chase's long affidavit and alleged "audit" there is no mention of this item. His "audit" In effect was an inventory, pure and simple. ..... -. '" : .Mrs. Eddy's Insane Fury.. What hapened when Mr. phase inter viewed Mrs.' Eddy In Pleasant View was partially revealed by Mr. Tlowe, attorney, for the relatives, in his ad dress to the court on law points. Mrs. Eddy he says, flew into a paroxysm of rage and insane fury. She beat her chest and her head, shook with violent, nervous twitches. She acted like a erazy woman for ten minutes. Mr. Chase's cross-examination will reveal this and much Interesting- matter con cerning the books and the fortune of the plaintiffs, lawyers believe.

TAKES UP JAPAN'S PLAINT KOOT LEARNS WOItK OF MOB IN SAN FRANCISCO. Restaurant and Bathhouse Wrecked. Federal Inquiry Ordered Ap peal Made to GUlett. WASHINGTON. May 25. Information that Japanese have been subjected to ill treatment and Indignities in San Fran cisco came to the State Department to day from two sources, and Secretary Root has taken measures for the protection of the Japanese through two channels. Ambassador Wright at Toklo cabled that a Japanese restaurant and a Japan ese bathhouse In San Francisco had been demolished by a mob, and Viscount Aoki, the Japanese Ambassador here, laid be fore Mr. Root dispatches from the Jap anese Consul-General at San Francisco detailing the same occurrences. Sets Authorities at Work. Mr. Root at once made request on Attorney-General Bonaparte, that the Uni ted States District Attorney In San Fran cisco be directed to make an Immediate Investigation-. Mr. Bonaparte thereupon telegraphed both the United States Dis trict Attorney and the United States Mar shal at San Francisco to forward re ports by telegraph. Besides setting to work the machinery of the Federal Government, Mr. Root telegraphed the information to Governor Glllett. of California. In this telegram he called upon California to perform the duty Imposed upon her by the treaty be tween the United States and Japan, which stipulates that Japanese shall have the right to reside in the United States and Bhall have full protection to their per sons, property and business. ' No reply has been received from Mr. Gillett. Federal Authority Weak. The double move affording protection to Japanese was taken by Mr. Root be cause of what Is regarded as doubtful authority vested in officers of. the Fed eral Government to prosecute violations of the criminal law. The Secretary does not go so far as to say that the Federal Government is without authority In this respect, in the absence of procedure by a state, but he admits that Federal juris diction may be weak. As to the merits of the case, Mr. Root is inclined to ascribe the occurrences, both reports of which have come through Japanese sources, to the disturbed labor conditions existing in San Francisco. NEW ATTACK ON JAPANESE Outbreak at San Francisco Causes Indignation in Japan. TOKIO, May 24. A report from the Consul for Japan In San Francisco con firms the news of attacks made recently upon Japanese restaurant keepers in that city. The public here is indignant, but the press refrains from any hostile com ment, trusting the Washington Govern ment to prevent the repetition of similar occurrences. The disturbance referred to occurred in a restaurant conducted by Japanese on Folsomtstreet and was followed by an at tack upon a Japanese bathhouse on the opposite side of the street. The trouble arose over the expulsion of two white men from a Japanese restaurant , on Eighth street. They were followed by a mob when they went around to the place on Folsom street, wrecking both places, the men themselves escaping through a rear entrance. The police say the reason that there was no Interference was be cause all of the patrolmen on the street had been withdrawn for duty in other sections of the city where disturbances prevailed owing to tbe strike of the car men. News to California Officials. SAN FRANCISCO. May 25. Adjutant General Lauck. in charge of toe state military headquarters being maintained in San Francisco by Governor Glllett Incident to the various labor strikes now in progress, was shown the com plaint from the Japanese authorities at Washington. General Lauck said: ' -"This Is absolutely the first intima tion I have heard "ot any violence shown to .Japanese in San Francisco. I shall have the officers of the staff investi gate thoroughly and lay their reports before the Governor." WIN HONORS AT .WHIST Portland Takes City Championship at Tacoma Tourney. TACOMA, Wash..'

Theodore Tilton, who was born in New York in 1835, was known to the world at large only as the man who sued Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in 18T4 for $100,000 damages for alienating the affections of Mrs. Tilton. Tilton was Beether's associate and afterwards his successor as editor of the Independent. While a committee of Plymouth con gregation, Brooklyn, of which Beecher, then 1 years old, was pastor, was in vestigating the charge, the damage suit was entered. The church commit tee declared the charges baseless. The suit was tried In the City Court of Brooklyn before Judge Neilson and lasted 112 days. It resulted in a dis agreement after the jury had been locked up for more than a week, the vote being three for the plaintiff and nine for the defendant. The trial was one of the famous trials of American history and some of the greatest lawyers were employed upon It. Tilton's case was managed by General B. F. Butler, while Beecher was defended by General B. F. Tracy. Wil liam M. Evarts and Mr. Shearman. The sympathy of the audience was with Beecher. According to a. jevlew of the trial made by the Nation, neither party came out unsmirched. That paper said it was very like- a defeat tor Beecher, adding: , . . "What .e either failed to remember or failed to explain on his cross-examination was unpleasantly large. His answers perhaps suggested nothing positive against him." But the Nation was severe in Its dis cussion of Tilton's conduct, saying: "In these great straits, being des perate and apparently shameless the Idea of turning his wife's rela tions with Beecher to worldly ac count seoms to have taken pos session of Tilton, and for four years he treated It as a vein to be worked up the more assiduously the more his fortunes were failing. His go-between was Francis Moulton, an old school mate of Tilton's. In Beecher these two men found an easy prey. They, kept Beecher on the rack tor four years, Tilton standing In the background as an injured and threatening husband, Moulton running to and fro as a medi ator and pacificator, extracting con" fesslons and letters of contrition from Beecher by the handful, making him believe that his communications were strictly confidential, and then showing them or repeating their contents to half the town. "Tilton got his wife to sign a paper accusing Beecher of having made im proper proposals to her. Tilton and Moulton got $7000 from Beecher and then, by way of tightening the screw, raised the charge from improper solici tation to actual adultery, and, finding the orange squeezed dry, produced their budget of filth to the public. "Beecher1 had found Tilton to be a smart young reporter, took him under his patronage, puBhed him into a posi tion on the Independent, which, small riSEHAL OP.PORTIAKD MER CHANT WILL BE) HELD : TODAY. - - .4?

"Mrs. .Tilton afterward retracted her written confessions of wrongful Inti macy with Beecher, stating that he had always treated her as a Christian and a gentleman."

SMALL DEALERS HAVE WON Clerks onv6mall Salaries Now Have Automobiles A Messenger Boy Makes $30,000 Rich Specu lators Walk the Floor. CHICAGO, May 25. (Special.) Board of Trade brokers, asked today for an es timate of wheat trading during the last. SO days, said $200,000,000 would not be far from the mark. The game bas been so fierce that the entire wheat crop of the world has been sold and resold hundreds of times. Those who less than 30 days ago were shoestringing or "pikers" little fellows who struggled to margain 1000 bushels and who had the nerve to pyramid as the market leaped upwards, are today buying automobiles. Perhaps two score instance" are known In Chicago alone of men who were clerks on a small salary two or four weeks ago. but now have from $10,000 to $60,000 profit as a result of the fierce com bat. Only Big Deals Get Attention. These small . dealers have been frozen out. Recently It has been Impossible for a trader to get the attention of a broker for anything less than 100,000-bushel or ders. The contest now Is between the big fellows, and more millions will be won and lost before the wheat crop is har vested. Owners of elevators everywhere have lost money how much will never be known. One feature of the heavy trading Is the rise of new men, youngsters for the most part, but they have the nerve and now they have the money to back the nerve. James A. and George Patten, wealthy bachelors of Evanston, who already had counted their fortunes In seven figures, are believed to have cleared more than $2,000,000 on the bulge. Joseph Llnebar ger, with capital of $5000, comes out with $200,000. Earl O'Neill, a telegraph opera tor at less than $100 a month, has made in excess of $200,000. "Ed" Bagley, mes senger boy and clerk. Is $30,000 to the good. Last year he was punished for the boyish prank of sprinkling snuff on the floor of the exchange. Big Speculators AValk Floor. These ere samples of hundreds of in stances here and at other grain centers. They have made their pile and escaped with it. The big speculators, who are carrying thousands of options and are still in the market, are the ones walking the floor these nights and days. It Is said that small boxes of green bugs are being carried to various states and then "discovered" in the wheat fields, which fact Is Immediately telegraphed to the markets to Influence the price. By the next train the bugs are sent in to verify the story, but this trick is now pretty well discounted. ARGUE FOR NEW TRIAL Preston and Smith Under Convic tion for Killing Silva. GOLDFIELD, Nev., May 25. Judge Langan's court today was occupied in hearing the arguments for and against a motion for a new trial in the case of Preston and Smith, convicted of the murder of Tony Silva, the restaurant keeper, during the late labor trouble.

The affidavits assert that their arrest was the result of a conspiracy hatched up by the mine-owners, that Judge Langan was present at a secret meeting when the conviction of St. John was discussed, and the arrest and the trial of the prisoners was urged and agreed upon. hence he was not qualified to try the case impartially. Senator George Nixon, Judge Malone and ex-Governor Charles S. Thomas are made prominent in the affidavits. The matter will come up for consider ation next Tuesday morning. New Lodge Organized.
