VOL. XXXVIII. AUGUSTA, MAINE SATURDAY MORNING. MAY 25. 1907. NO. 125 THE ARGUMENTS Completed in Eddy Hearing at Concord, N. H, Judge Chamberlain Will Rendei Decision Neil Tuesday. “If Property Is in Good Hands, Ni Need to Go Further.” Concord, X. If., May 24.—Arguments were completed in the Merrimacl county superior court today on tin motion of the trustees of the estate of Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of tin Christian Science church, to intervent and he substituted as plaintiff in the suit brought by her son, George \V Glover, to compel an accounting of hei property, judge R. X. Chamberlin, the presiding justice, issued an order that all affidavits and cititations in the case be filed by next Tuesday, and his de cision on the motion will be given later. All day an interested crowd, made up in large part of members of the Christian Science church, filled the court room, and the arguments were followed throughout with the closest attention. Most of the time today was occupied by counsel for the peti tioners, but late this afternoon Gen. Frank S. Streeter, counsel for the three trustees, wiio made: his main argument in favor of the motion yesterday, made a brief closing pica. v.. n >\\e, ul I’uunsei lor uie petitioners, delivered tlie fir.st of the arguments for the petitioners this morning and was followed this after noon by former United States Senator Win. Chandler also of the petitioners counsel. Until characterized the mo tion of the trustees for leave to inter vene as plaintiffs to bo absurd and de clared that the attitude of the trustees was rather that of defendants tnan plaintiffs. The point was made also that the deed of trust transferring the property of Mrs. Eddy to the three trustees, was executed after notice of the present suit had been received. In answer to this Gen. Streeter said that no legal notice of the suit was served on the defendant until af ter the execution of the deed of trust. Gen. Streeter denied that there was anything in evidence to show that the trustees had prejudged the case or that as counsel for the petitioners intimated, the trustees would dismiss the suit if adndtled as plaintiffs. During the closing argument of Gen. Streeter, Judge Chamberlain interposed several questions, lie asked how the question of Mrs. Eddy’s competency could be determined and remarked later that It seemed a strange position to him that the court should determine the question involved without a trial. Mr. Streeter, in replying, said the judge could determine the question of Mrs. Eddy's competency by a visit to her and lie thereupon extended an invita tion to Judge Chamberlain and Mr. Chandler to visit Mrs. Eddy with him and discuss the case with her. Mr. Streeter added, however, that before this question of competency was set tled. two other questions should be de cided. lie said: "If vour Honor has become satisfied that Mrs. Eddy’s property is in good hands and needs po protection then there will be no occasion to go further. Mr. Slrecter said the second question to be determined was whether the suit was carried on for Mrs. Eddy s benefit. If this court should determine that this case is not for Mrs. Eddy's benefit, he must dismiss the motion.” Mr. Streeter further said that it was not right to a woman of Mrs. Eddy's advanced age to a trial until there is something to base a trial on. lie denied that the counsel for the plaintiff thus farliad shown any evidence in support of the allegation shown in the bill. Mr. Chandler interposed saying: "We have much evidence which will prove very troublesome to Brother Streeter when ho meets it anil we will present it whenever the court directs that a proper trial be bad.” After further brief argument by Mr. Streeter, court was adjourned.

WRECK AT GARDINER EXPRESS VS. FREIGHT. Early Morning St. John Flyer for Boston Crashes into Rear End of Freight in Thick Fog. GNE MAN HAS HIS LEG BROKEN. Wonderful Escape from Death==Caboose Ended Up and Demolished==T\vo Cars Smashed==All Others Escape. Cardint r. Me., May 24.—(Special).— At 4 o'clock this morning the Sunrise express irom St. John to Boston, which was over an hour lam, crashed into the rear of freight train Xo. 3fi as the latter was pulling slowly into Gardiner. The wreck occurred in Fanningdale about half a ir.ile above this station. It was a bad smashup, and though no lives were lost Conductor Donnelly of the freight suffered a compound fracture of the left leg. The caboose and two freight cars were utterly demolished, the caboose being thrown high in the air when the collision came. The engine of the pas senger train was derailed, the smoke stack knocked off and the front part of the engine badly damaged. The first baggage car.was also derailed but oth erwise was uninjured. The rails under the locomotive and the baggage car were turned over on their sides. Tiie freight train was going west and was due to leave here at four o'clock. It was just entering the yard wiien the collision occurred and was running very slowly. It had not stopped and there fore no torpedoes had been sent out to be placed on the tracks. The second Pullman going west, known as the Sunrise express was due here at 2.41 but was very late yesterday morning and did not arrive here until a little la fore four o'clock, just at the time the freight was pulling slowly into the sta tion. The express was running at a high rate of speed and the engineer was unable to see the freight through the dense l"g until too late to prevent the collision. Iingineer Manott was in charge of the passenger engine. No. .">7:*. As soon as the freight was visible he threw over the throttle anil jumped, lie landed almost beside the sidewalk aeross the road from the tracks. He. however, sustained no injuries other than a few bruises. Conductor W. li. Donnelly and the rear brakeman were in the caboose when I lie crash came. The two men had to lie taken out through one of the windows and it was discovered on ex amination that the conductor was badly injured end that Brakemun Millet had escaped with merely a oad wrench of the knee and some severe bruises. Mr. Donnelly was carried to the home of Fred Willey, near where the wreck occurred, and the Drs. St rout called. He was carried to the office of the doctors and an examination proved that he was suffering from a compound fracture of the left leg just below the knee, several cuts and some severe bruises. Mr. Donnelly was also shaken up badly and received a severe wrench in his back. The fractures were re duced and the man made as comfort able as possible. He was carried to his home in Brunswick on the 10.18 train. The passengers of the Pullman were uninjured, although some of the peo ple in the sleepers felt the jar quite forcibly. People who saw the ruins of the caboose are at a loss to explain how the two men in it escaped with their lives. The wrecking train arrived on the scene promptly and tipped tiie ca boose which was standing on end down over the embankment. The remainder of the wrecking was somewhat more difficult and it was not until afternoon that the track was finally cleared. The crash of the collision and the blowing of whistles which followed awoke about everybody in (iardiner and Farniingdale, and a large crowd promptly gathered at the scene of the disaster. Many people were about the wreck all day. and nearly everybody took av.ay a very useful memento of the occasion in I he shape of several reams of paper from one of the demol ished box cars. f JUNIOR PROM Al University ot Maine Scores Usual Success.

REMAIN ARMED So Far as Lake Mohonk Meeting Is Concerned. Disarmament Will Not Se Men tioned to The Hague. Another Day Taken Up With Inter esting Discussions. Lake Mohonk. X. Y., May 24.—The recommendations which the Lake Mo honk conference cn international arbi tration will send to the international peace coaferece soo to convene at The Hague will contain no word on the subject of disarmament or limitation of armaments. This was determined upon today when the conference after a long debate declined to accept any amendment to the platform proposed by Edwin D. Mead of Boston. Mr. Mead supported his amendment earnestly, declaring that limitation of armaments was the one proposition of the Parliamentary Union under fire by tl'.e reactionaries and despite all diffi culties that it should be distinctly re affirmed by the Lake Mohonk confer ence. The opposition to the amendment was led by John D. Long, former sec retary of the navy, and President Eliot of Harvard University. The amend ment was finally defeated by a vole of S3 to 61. Some other minor changes wi re made in the recommendations as originally presented by the committee. Tile conference will come to a close with a brief session this evening.

NO PROGRESS MADE IN HAYWOOD TRIAL. Several Talesmen Are Challenged For Cause and Excused by Courts One Peremptory Challenge. MANYOF VENIRE HAVEOPINIONS. Jurors Disqualified Because Their Minds Are Already Made Up==Court Ad= journs Until Saturday. Boise. Idaho, May 24.—Of the 60 tales men summoned under the new venire, 44 awaited examination for qualifica tion as jurymen when court opened to day for the 11th day of the trial of William D. Haywood, charged with the murder of former Governor Frank Steunenberg. With eight peremptory challenges yet to come and two talesmen to qualify, the chances for the jury out of the 44 remaining talesmen was not encourag ing. It was a fact that the examination today was expected to develop a num ber of ranchers from outlying districts, who have not been reading as closely on the case as many of those examined yesterday and this, was thought, would hold out a prospect of a jury by Saturday night. Judge Wood first heard the additional statutory excuses of eight members of the last special panel, some of' whom had secured physician’s certificates over night. One of these had offered business reasons as an excuse. Judge Wood took him to task for the change. “Your honor,” said the talesman. “I fund yesterday that business excuses didn't go, so I thought I'd better have another.” “Application denied,” shouted Judge Wood. Six of the eight applicants for re lease were successful. Clarence S. narrow, for the defence i .inducted the cross-examination of Henry Curtis, who was accepted by the state yesterday, as occupant of scat No. it. Finally Mr. Harrow announced that Curtis was acceptable to the defence. Mr. Barrow then completed his ex amination of Job Whitlock, who had been at N'o. 6 for several days. Whit lock was passed without challenge for cause. The prosecution then exercised its sevc nth peremptory challenge by ex cusing Isaac Bedell, who had been fill ing seat Xo. 2 for several days. One after another of the four tales men called to replace Bedell disquali fied themselves because of opinions. John Beery, a farmer, who came next, was put through a searching examina tion. The defence challenged the juror for implied bias. There was a long wran- j, gle between counsel which was ended by the court allowing the challenge. Beery stepped out of the box and J. W. Harrell, another farmer, was called to his place. He. too, had an opinion, but said it was not fixed. Harrell's exam ination had not been concluded when tho luncheon recess was taken. I Harrell was challenged for cause by', the state at the beginning of the after- i noon session after he had stated that ho could not give weight to circumstan- j tial evidence. The defence resisted, but i Judge Wood sustained the challenge j and Harrell stepped down. The next i four talesmen had all expressed strong'i opinions and went down. The fifth t talesman made a personal plea of ill- i ness and was allowed to go. W. Scott Xcil of Bois. who was next' called, said he had an opinion and the' i defence joined the state in its chal-'i lenge for cause. Court adjourned at 4 j o’clock until 9.30 o'clock tomorrow! morning. No peremptory challenges' were exercised at the afternoon session.! t DUTY OF^POLICE To Learn if Crime Was Committed Says Goimsel For Howard Gould in Separa tion Proceedings. Practice of Lawyers to Use District Attorney’s Office. New York, May 24.—Pelany Nicoll, counsel for Howard Gould, whose wife, formerly Miss Katherine Clemmons, has taken legal steps for a separation, alleging that her husband had made improper use of the police to obtain evidence against lirr, today made the following statement: “I have not hitherto made any state ment in reference to the Gould case, in winch I am counsel, but in view of the widespread misrepresentation con cerning the matter X have this to say: “A story persisted in for many years, yeats, was in circulation to the effect that Mrs. Gould had a husband living when she married Mr. Gould. If this was so, a crime had hern committed. "Inspector McLaughlin learned of the story and as I had heard more or less of it trotn other sources, I deemed it my duty to ask him to investigate it fully. It has always been and always will be the duty of tht? police force and especially of the chief of detec tives. r.ot only to prevent but to detect crime. "fiver since I have been familiar with affairs in this city it has been the prac tice of lawyers to invoke the aid of the district attorney's office or the police department on behalf of their clients in any case where there is any ground whatever to believe that a crime may l^ive been committed or may be at tempted and while in the Gould case I suspected that the charge was probably unlounded, considering that it proceed ed in the main, but not altogether, from an ex-convict, it seemed to me that it was desirable to get at the bottom of it once for all. "It was not only the right of the chief inspector to investigate the mat ter. but it was his duty to do so, and he was privileged to pursue all lawful methods of investigation until he es I tablished either its truth or falseity. As soon as Inspector McLaughlin was convinced that there was no real foundation for the charge made by Hawley, that lie was trying to impose or. him and Mr. Gould, the whole mat- ter was dropped and the connection of the inspector and the detective bureau with it ended then and there. All stories that anything else was ever f done for Mr. Gould in the trouble be tween himself and wife by anybody in the police department were absolute- ly false. "There was nothing done on behalf of Mr. Gould which was unusual, ir- f regular, extraordinary or other than any other citizen has a right to have r done for him. "I have made a statement of the matter to Commissioner Blnghnm and 1 Commissioner Hanson and they are j entirely at libertv to make it public." Police Cajit. McLaughlin, who was recently deposed from the head of the detective hureau and reduced to the rank of capttain, was placed on the retired list by Police Commissioner Bingham today „at the captain's re- f finest. Capt. McLaughlin lias been in timately connected with the Investi gation of the detective bureau's alleged activity in connection with the Gould divorce case. r Tin.

Version in Main Agnes With Those of Witnesses. Discrepancies Brought Out by the Cross-Examination. Salem, Mass.. May 24.—Edgar Weston Melkle, the 17-year-old boy. who is on trial on the charge of murdering his father. Charles S. G. Melkle, took the stand today in his own defence. In the main his story was similar to that al ready credited to him by the testimony of other witnesses, but in the cross-ex amination the prosecution brought out some apparent discrepancies between his testimony at the inquest and that given today. During his appearance on the stand some women in the court room were reprimanded once for ap plauding. and Judge Stevens ordered their removal from the room should tha offence be repeated. Tt is expected that all the evidence u ilt he completed by tomorrow noon and that the arguments will be made and the charge of the judge delivered so that the case will be given to the jury tomorrow night. Edgar Melkle was still on the witness stand when ad journment was taken this evening, un dergoing a fire of questions from Dis trict Attorney Peters. Tn his direct testimony young Meikle said he was born in Lynn. March 31. IS91, and began attending school when ae was six years old. He lasf went to school about a week before his father's leath. in descrining tne lnciaems preced ing his father’s death, Meikle said that on that Tuesday morning, he and his father had a talk about a history book, and his father told him that he "could get the book and take it home.” About 11 o’clock that forenoon, the witness looked for the history but could not find it. He passed by the bureau and that reminded him that he had seen his father put the book in there, so he went to Mrs. McCarthy's and got a key and went back home. With this key witness said he unlocked the top drawer of the bureau and found the history. He .car ried the book into the kitchen and put it into a box. His examination as to this part of his story was dwelt upon particularly, because of the claim made by the prosecution that the revolver with which the eider Moikle Is alleged to have been killed came from the bu reau where the history was found. Continuing his testimony, young Meikle said he began just before 12 o’cloek to get dinner, heating some chops. He was reaching for the pan in which the chops were to pull it for ward to the front of the stove when he heard footsteps and the door open ed. The witness said his father came in the door, drew the pistol from his pocket, put it to his head and tired. The witness was dazed for a moment. His father fell forw'ard about at his feet and the witness then picked up the revolver and put It on the refriger ator. In closing the direct examination, Lawyer Sisk for the defence said: "Now, Edgar, I want to know' if you shot your father on Nov. 7th.” "I didn’t,” replied the witness in tones more emphatic than had charac terized any of his previous answers. In cross-examination by District At torney Peters, Meikle said that his father was kind toward him and al ways gave him good advice. He un derstood that he had been disobeying his father the last few weeks that he had been staying from school and that he had signed his father’s name to notes to the school teacher, and knew it was wrong to do so. “What did you want of that history book 7” asked the district attorney. "To take it to school,” replied the witness. “Hut you were not going to school any more, were you?" To this question the witness replied: "No.” The district attorney then asked some questions regarding the boy’s testi mony at the inquest and the boy was still being examined when court ad journed.

BREAKS DOWN. Third Degree Proves Too Much for Becker. Confesses Witnessing Assault on Long Island Girl. Says He Ran Away and Companion Committed Murder. Now York, May 24.—Confronted to night with the corpse of Amelia Staf feldt, Henry Becker broke down, ac cording to the police, and confessed that he had witnessed the assault that invited the murder of the 15-year-old Elmhurst girl. The crime was done by a companion, said the prisoner, who asserted his own innocence. Becker's admission followed a “third degree” ordeal that proved his undo ing. He had been taken to the under taking rooms where the body has lain since it was found in a little frequent ed field adjoining the home of the girl's father. Th'*re he was ordered to first look upon the body and then place his right hand upon the cold forehead, i Becker shiidderinglv obeyed and tin next moment collapsed. Bragged to his feet and supported on either side by a detective, the prisoner was asked: "Bid you kill the girl?” His >oply, according to the captors, ■u.is: “Oh. my God. I didn’t do it, but the man who was with me did it. He killed the girl, and i ran down to the woods.” Detective Graham said that after the prisoner had become calmer he said that lie witnessed the attack on the girl and that he was frightened and ran away. He insisted that lie did not see the assailant stab his victim and that he did not see a knife in the man's I ha mis He declared that the man af terward joined him in the woods to which he had lied, and that they went together to the farm of Mrs. Emily Simonson, where they both washed their hands at the pump in the yard. He could give no information as to the identity of the murderer. After he had made his statement. Becker was taken to the Queens county jail in Long Isia.nd City. The police are not wholly satisfied with Becker’s story, hut will bend their energies to finding his companions, as they are convinced that two men were either directly or indirectly concerned in the crime.

His subject was the “American Boy." “I want to see the boy enjoy him self,” said the President. "The boy at play sometimes exhibits the qualities which determine the kind of a man he will make. If he dislikes his work, if lie shirks his studies, lie will develop into a great failure in everything else. If he has not character to study, lie won't have character to play. "Play hard while you play, and work hard while you work. Right here there is a. great lesson for the grown ups as well as the younger ones. "The bully, the boy who would mal treat the weaker boy or animal, is one of the meanest boys in the world. I want to see you protecting those who are weak against those who would op press the weak. Such a boy when he becomes a citizen will be strong enough to abhor and despise the be trayal of a trust and strong enough to stand for the right. 1 abhor tile boy who uses his strength against those who cannot help themselves."

Tin* superb box work of the veteran Cv Young this season has given the fans all ov.-r the country something talk about. His latest performance in Cbp'.igo made il plain that Iwiiton T. Young, tlm dtio farmer, stands today the eiptal. if not the superior of any pitcher in the business and that. too. after is years of hard service in major league .-ilion. not only because of bis fa..t recnrils. lint because of the interest he has taken in helping to bnibi tip a good team. fa is worth entered Hates College from Barrington, where lie was a pitcher on hi.- High school team.

Lively Boxing At Athletic Club Room Fnday Evening. Tho management of the Augusta Social and Athletic Association served up at tho club mom last evening au othor appetizing dish for the members of tho sporting fraternity which fur nished a season ol" much enjoyment to all who find pleasure in an exhibition of fast ring work. The menu of the evening included three events and each of them was seasoned with sullicicnt spice to make it palatable. The main event was a six-round bout between Young Cote of Biddoford and Fighting Eddie Ilarrigan of Portland and was a good one. being characteriz ed at times by some very speedy work on tiie part of both boys, but the rounds were productive of too much covering up Oil the part of the Bidde ford to constitute what could be called real first-class work. Young Ilarrigan demonstrated that he was a fighter of the first class and won manv friends by his clean and ag giv. ive work hut was at a disadvan tage on account of the covering up te ferred to above, being unable to land any effective blows although lie had them in ahtimlaiH-e. On the other hand Young ote through the tactics which he adopted landed repeatedly on Ins antagonist and had Harrigan been a less hardy proposition it. would have fared hard with him. But the exhibition would have been more satisfactory had it Peon of tin- stand np and give and lake Fpr‘vious to the main bout Young Hunt ami Tropamiier went a fast pre liminary and Kid Albert of this city and Young Masters of Lewiston started for another, but the Augusta lad was by far too manv for the Lewiston rep resentative and the latter gave it up in tile middle of tho second round. Kid Albert is one of the coming prospects and it is going to take a good one to teach him the lessen. During the evening Manager Hanks announced that Kid Shea of Hallow-ell ami Young Pusey of Auburn would meet in the club room Friday evening. May 21, and the bout will be a good one.

In liie opening of the fifth round Blackburn raised a lump over the Aus tralian's left eye, while a few minutes later Gunther returned the compliment by doing tiie same to Blackburn's right eye. Throughout the entire six rounds Gunther was ttie aggressor.
