COMES BACK At ROOSEVELT
Well-known Author and Clergyman
Criticizes the Man Who Knows
II All

New York, MAY 3.-In response to crit
icism by President Roosevelt that ne had
only superficial knowledge of the ami
mails concerning which he wrote, the Rev.
DR.. William ]. Long. a well-knOwn au-
thor of Stanford, Conn. is quoted today
as having declared that the president is
a killer of animals and not a natural
list Mr.. Long defends himself against
the specific charge of falsity TO nature
made by the president and does not spare
biting terms in criticising Mr.. Roosevelt
President Roosevelt in, an article in a
June magazine was quoted in a general
attack upon writers of animal stories
who put forth as facts what are no more
than interesting fictions, with animals
as principals.
William J. Long is perhaps the worst
of these nature writing offenders the
president says. 1T is his stories I am
told, that have been put. in part, into
many of the public schools of the coun-
try in order that from them the children
may get the truths of wild animal Iife.''
Rev. Dr. Long is retired Congrega-
tional clergyman, a graduate of Harvard
Heidelberg and Andover. and the author
of Ways of Wood Folk" Beasts of the
Field" and other similar works.

as to Mrs. McKinleys condition and
evincing widespread sorrow over the an

Mrs. Mckinley has been i'll nearly all
winter, having suffered a severe attack
of the grippe some months ago, followed
later by bronchitis. The physicians say
that in her weakened condition she was
an easy victim Of the disease, apoplexy,
with which she was stricken today. She
is nearing the sixtieth anniversary of
her birth. and long has been in feeble
health. Mrs Mckinley gave up knitting
recently. and this was taken as an indi-
cation that her hold on life was slight as
ever since the death of her husband she
has found solace in knitting slippers for
friends and inValids.

Government Freight Agents.

My own view il that it is only neces-
sary for the government to appoint the
general freight agent Of every railroad.
for he could stop ali rate favoritism at
once. 1t would not be for his office to
fix the schedule Of rates, but only see
that every one paid the same rate no
more and no less. The actual payments
of rebates back to shippers is now sell
dom done but favoritism is done in MANY
other ways.
This favoritism in freight rates is also
used to defeat the national tariff hv Civ
ing goods freight rate low enough to
enable them to come in and be sold at a
profit in spite OF the protective tariff
This favoritism in freight rates and pas
senger rates is also a wrong to the rail-
road stockholders. The railroads now paw
ing 3 or 4 per cent dividends would be
paying nearer 10 per cent if the favorit-
ism in freight rates We're stopped No
wonder a growing number of people want
the government to take the railroads.

ARGUMENT IN
The EDDY CASE
Trustees Insist Upon Being
Substituted for Next Friends
as Plaintiffs in Suit.
QUESTION OF COMPETENCY
PRESIDING JUDGE DISAGREES
WITH COUNSEL.

Concord, y. H., May 23.-Following sew
eral skirmishes. the first legal battle
| fought about the person of Mrs. Mary
! Baker G. Eddy, leader of the Christian
Science denomination, in connection with
the suit in equity seeking an accounting
of her property, was opened in the Mer-
rimac county superior court here today.
The original suit brought by Mrs
Eddy's son, George W. Glover. of Lead,
south Dakota. his daughter, Mrs. Baker
Glover. and George w Baker. of Bangor,
Maine, nephew of Mrs. Eddy, was brought
IN the name of the Christian Science Lead
er by her three relatives acting as next
friends, and was directed against Calvin
a, Frye. Mrs. Eddy's secretary, and sew
eral other leaders of the church. It ask
ed for an accounting of Mrs. Eddy's prop
erty, which the next friends alleged
was being misapplied by the defendants.
Three trustees. Henry a. Baker. Archi-
were approved by Mrs. Eddy and empOW-
cred by a trust deed executed BY her TO
manage her property.
Accounting Asked.
The trustees then petitioned the court
to be substituted for the next friends"
as plaintiffs in the suit to secure an ac-
Counting 6Sini h Of Mrs Mrs Eddys property Fol
toned the court to include the trustees
as defendants in the original suit.
Today's hearing was upon the motion of
the trustees that they be substituted for
the next friends in the suit against
Frye and other defendants.
Nearly all of the defendants we're in
court when the hearing opened, although
Fryde did not appear. Among the prOmi-
nent spectators was Judge William c.
Ewing, of Chicago. one of the most prom
inent members of the Christian Science
organization.
Argument of Counsel.
General Frank s. Streeter. of this city,
chief counsel for the defendants occupied
the floor throughout the days proceed
ings- His argument was devoted princi-
pally to the contention that in order TO
next friends as plaintiffs in the orig
inal suit the next friends must prove
Mrs Eddy's incompetcacy to execute the
trust deed. giving her trustees power to
act for her. General Streeter claimed
that it was the legal right of the trustees
10 prosecute the suit against the defend
ants.
He submitted the trust deed TO the
court and asserted that il was valid. IL
the deed were valid. he said not only all
of Mrs. Eddy's property had been trans
ferreJ, but the right to prosecute the
suits had passed to the trustees, ard they
asked TO be allowed to carry il on. If
the deed were regarded as material, then
the question of competency must be de-
cided first
Judge Chamberlain announced at the
outset Of the hearing that the proceed
ings shall be confined strictly 20 the ques-
ton of the Intervention of the trustees as
plaintiffs. He said that he would not
consider Mrs. Eddy's competency at this
time.
The hearing will be resumed tomorrow.

CLEARED ON ONE
MURDER CHARGE.
Judge James Hargis, Kentucky
FeudiSt. Found Not Guilty
of C0ckeriII Murder.

Lexington KY. May 23.-Almost exact
~ three years after she shooting of Town
Marshal Thomas Cockrill at Jackson, a
verdict of not guilty was returned here
today in the case of Judge James Har-
gis, the first of those who were jointly
charged with that murder, and another
chapter in the famous Breathitt county
feuds annals was concluded.
Killed in Court House.
On June 2 1904. Coc31riIl was shot in
the court house at Jackson, dying later
at Lexington, where he was taken for
medical attention, and during the trial
several witnesses sUore that Judge Har-
gis, his brothers and Sheriff Ed Gala
han had entered into a murder conspiracy
promising immunity to any one who
would shoot Coclsrill, DIR. B. d. Cox and
j. B. Marcum, all three of whom have
since died by shooting. The defense,
however, presented testimony tending to
disprove the conspiracy charge, and
Judge Hargis. testifying iii his own be-
half, denied all connection with the shoot
ing Curt Jett, who confessed to killing
Marcum, for which he was given a life
sentence, was a witness against Judge
Hargis.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-05-24
Another Charge Against Hareis.

The mex trial in this series will be
called at Sandy Hook, Elliott county,
next Monday, when the same defendants
will be tried for the murder of DIR. Cox
at Jackson on April IA. 1902. a change
of venue having oeen taken from Beath-
lit county.
When the verdict was announced a
great cheer rose from the friends OF Judge
Hargis, who crowded the court room. II
is believed now that the cases f Alex
and and Albert HaTgis and Edward Cal
lahan, also charged with completely in
plots to kill Cockrill. will be filed away
in the court house. The evidence IS
practically the same against the other
three men, as well as against Bill Brit
ton, who is awaiting a third trial fer
this killing.
