CONCORD, n H., August 14.-At the
second day of the masters hearing in the
matter Of the competency of Mrs. Mary
Baker G. Eddy today, William E. Chandler.
counsel for the relatives of Mrs. Eddy.
who have brought suit for an accounting
of the property of the Christian Science
leader, presented the requests OF the plain
tiffs with reference to the proposed pre-
liminary examination of Mrs. Eddy at
Pleasant View by the masters. The
specific requests were:
/. 1t should be a preliminary visit only.
2. There should be present. in behalf OF
the next friends, William E. Chandler. with
right to examine; George w. Glover and
daughter, for Identification, and the court
Stenographer
3. 1t should be agreed there shall be
at least five other suitable examinations of
Mrs Eddy.
4. AS a result of the preliminary ex-
animation, II the masters conclude that
Mrs. Eddy, physically. cannot sustain other
and thorough examinations, counsel for
next friends should be afforded opportu-
nifty to have her observed by persons OF
their selection.
g. If, as a result of the preliminary exam
nation it appears to the masters that Mrs.
Eddy Is unable mentally to sustain further
examination they should announce that the
plaintiffs have established prlma facie
case.
6. The hours for the examination should
be at varying times of day, without notice,
and no members of the household should be
present.
In reply to Mr.. Chandler Mr.. Streeter. for
Mrs Eddy said the sole question before
the masters was: Was Mrs. Eddy on March
l competent to manage her business affairs?
I'VE are ready" he said, Ito show the
entire management of Mrs. Eddy's business
affairs for the last twenty years and the re-
suits thereof What we then show will sat-
isfy the masters of the answers to the ques-
ton at issue.
Mr. Chandler replied: Our bill is for an
accounting. and preliminary to it is the
question of mental capacity.
"a person cannot be possessed of sys-
tematized decisions for many years with
out being untitled to do business. When
all the facts appear 1t will be clear to your
honors that this woman has not been capa-
BILE. of doing business. This being shown,
we shall ask for an investigation of the
question. Has she been fairly treated by
the people by whom she has been surround
ed and controlled?
Our case is a case of the infirmities Of
age combined with these decisions, and
We earnestly object to any such formal and
momentary visit to Mrs. Eddy as is pro-
posed by her counsel"

TOLD STANDARD OIL SECRETS
Department Of Justice viii Look Over
Trial Record to See If Bargain

CHICAGO. August 14.-Judge Lands in
the United States district court today post
poned until September the grand Jury
investigation Of the charges of Relating
against the Chicago and Alton railroad.
growing out OF the recent trial which re-
suited in the conviction Of the Standard OIL
Company of Indiana
It was the original intention to begin the
investigation August q, but Judge Lands
said he had received notification from At
torney General Bonaparte that the Chicago
and Alton railroad had been promised I'm
munity. and the Judge ordered the adjourn
ment in order that the records OF the case
might be looked into.
District Attorneys Promise.
In addressing the jury Judge Lands said
"The court directed the district attorney
to lay before you the evidence respecting
the rates charged by the Chicago and Alton
Railroad Company on certain property of
the Standard OIL Company. Since this di-
rection was given 1 have received a COM
munication from the Attorney General Of
the United States. the substance of which
is that prior to the indictment OF the Stand
ard Oh. Company the then United States
district attorney made an arrangement with
the officials Of the Chicago and Alton rail-
road under which 1t was not to be pro-
ceeded az ainst, provided 1t would assist the
prosecution, in good faith, with evidence
and witnesses in the matter then pending.
In view Of this, it is the conviction Of the
Attorney General that good faith requires
the Department of Justice to do what 1t
can to make good the district attorneys
assurance. and this presents very grave
question, because 1t Is Of the utmost i'm
portance that no offender should unde-
servedly escape punishment for crime on
any such plea, as well as that even the
criminal may not truthfully charge the
government OF the United States with bad
faith.
what this arrangement was the court
does not know. but assumes 1t possibly
may have provided that the Chicago and
Alton company should emancipate those
who act and speak for 1t from all oblfga-
ton to deceive and mislead the jury in the
trial lately closed.
See If Men Kept Faith.
sIf this be true. whatever officer of the
Department Of Justice Is charged with the
task Of determining what shall be that de-
partment's attitude must carefully con-
slider the transcript Of the testimony of
these railway agents in order that he may
intelligently decide whether the Chicago
and Alton road is entitled to immunity.
whether the grand jury acts In this
matter will depend entirely upon the con-
illusions this official may reach. The jury
is therefore at liberty to take recess until
September 81
The transcript Of the record in the Stand
ard Oil case will be sent to Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte for examination, and II he
concludes that the railroad fulfills its prom
ises In the Standard Oil case the grand
jury will not investigate further.

STIRRING STRIKE SPEECHES. :
Photographers Listen to Denunciation
Of Great Corporations.

Nearly oil striking telegraphers in the
city attended a meeting last night in Typo
graphical Temple, at which addresses were
made by A. 8. Groves, president of the local
union; w. W. Beattle, first vice president of
the international union; Sam De Nedrey, Sec
rotary of the Central Labor Union, and
by other leaders In the labor movement
Mr.. Groves made an unqualified predic-
ton that the strike would be successful, and
he assured the telegraphers that they would
be cared for by the union, no matter how
long the strike lasts.
Much enthusiasm was aroused by Ma
tiona. Vice President Beattie when, after ar
raigning the great corporations generally
and the telegraph companies in particu-
lar, he predicted that the telegraphers had
worked the nine-hour day for the last time
and for the last time drawn pay envelopes
containing beggarly pttances in Lieu Of
remuneration for honest toll.
When next you enter telegraph COM
panys office 1t will be as men," Mr. Beattie
continued, and on a par with other men
and in position to live as other men live
decently-and able to look the world in the
face and with the consciousness that you
have preserved your liberty and are secur-
ing Justice
Predicts Government Control.
Sam De Nedrey. representing the Central
Labor Union, predicted that the govern
ment would take hold of the telegraph
lines in the near future, and that the stock
holders would meet the same treatment as
had been given the Standard Oil Company.
THE President of the United States ap-
points 'rubberneck' committees to investi-
gate the different parts of the city and
discover al insanitary places he said.
but within three squares of the White
House, at the Western Union telegraph Of
flee, more than 100 men are forced to take
their lunch in the lavatories, because only
thirteen minutes are given each man for
lunch
He said that the local union had paid
its regular assessment to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. and that the federation
would financially assist the men in the
strike.
1t was announced that permanent strike
headquarters would Likely be established
at the Regent Hotel. 1t is hardly likely
that a messenger boys union will be formed
in Washington, as number Of the labor
leaders are foes to child labor, and it is
said the American Federation of Labor
opposes such youthful organizations.

Alleged Subterfuge.
Among the interesting stories which have
accompanied the teegraphers' strike in
Washington. probably none is related with
more gusto by the operators than one which
was going the rounds this morning to the
effect that one of the big companies had
resorted to a peculiar subterfuge to handle
It's night business between other eastern
cities and the capital.
The telegraph rs pickets stationed at
one of the railroad depots are responsible
for the story. They claimed to have had
their attention attracted by a tail man.

from the New York owl train when 1t
