a Subpoena

SAID TO EVADE TAXES

CONCORD. March 6-If the plans
of counsel for the plaintiff in the suit
against her managers do not mtScarry.
Mrs Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the
Christian Science church, will be COM
PEELED to appear before magistrate
within a week or ten days to be ques-
toned concerning her business affairs.
1t is the purpose of Messrs- Chandler,
Kelly, Martin and Rowe, attorneys, to
serve her with a subpoena, and her ap-
pearance before a magistrate, 1t is ex-
pected, will determine to the satisfac-
tion of the lawyers whether she is COM
petent to look after her own interests.
If she be found mentally alert and
sound, as her friends and lawyers de-
clare her to be- 1t is not likely the suit
will be pushed.
While the lawyers representing Mrs
Eddy announced calmly that they were
in no fear of the litigation pending,
and hinted that a way would be found
to postpone the steps planned by op-
posing counsel, the plaintiffs attorneys
declare there is no way to prevent
them from compelling Mrs. Eddy to
emerge from her seclusion and submit
to examination. If serious objection is
made, however, to her appearance in
court, 1t is said a magistrate will be
sent to Pleasant View to take deposit
tion from Mrs. Eddy in the presence of
lawyers
Should Mrs. Eddy be compelled to
make her deposition in court the pro-
ceedings would be secret. Only the
magistrate. court clerk and lawyers
would be permitted in the room.

al made by Boston newspapers that
Mrs. Eddy has been evading taxes in
Concord, n. H, and through her secre-
tary-footman. Calvin A. Frye, has made
false returns to the Concord Assessor as
to the amount of her taxable property.
While her personal counsel general.
Frank Streeter. acknowledges that she
has 100000 worth of property, an ex-
animation of the records shows she
pays taxes on but $55.750 real and per-
sonal property to the city of Concord.
Mrs. Eddy's inventory for 1906 fol-
lows: Pleasant View, $4,000; lot ad
joining, $1,000; four horses. two COWS,

trust fund on her son, Glover.

Los ANGELES, March 6.-As a re-
suit of washouts and landslides caused
by the tremendous rainfall during the
first two days of the week the Salt
Lake Railroad has been obliged to
withdraw all its trains except those
running from this city to San Bernar-
dino. Through business is completely
stopped. and one of the officials of the
road said today that it would take
nearly three weeks to reopen the road
for through business.
Miles of track win have to be re-
built in Southern Nevada, and in other
places slides have occurred in deep cuts
which many days OF work will be re-
quired to remove. The road was never
before given such body blow, and
that, too. at time when 1t is in the
height of the orange business. There
are several trains of oranges now en-
route East which have been caught
between washouts and cannot be
reached in time to save the fruit. The
company will have to pay for it
In the Cajon Pass, north of San Ber-
nardino, il is reported that there is
portion of a freight train buried under
a landslide. but this report Is denied
at the general offices of the company
here.

is practically impossible, and. where
possible is extremely dangerous, and
trainmen have received orders not to
attempt IL.
The Southern Pacific coast line is
open and is carrying all the traffic of
the company both north and south. The
valley division is completely blocked
and will remain SO until Saturday at
least
A cloudburst in the mountains east
OF San Fernando sent a solid wall of
water down the canyon and swept out
the Big Tehuenga bridge as if 1t had
been made of paper Along with the
bridge nearly mile of track went
out. The tunnel near Newhall has also
been seriously damaged, and this can
not be repaired until II is possible to
get trains across the break near Fer
nando. To the north OF Mojave there
are a number Of places where the track
is buried under earth and rocks which
have slid down the sides OF deep cuts.

Daring Aerial Voyager Strikes 1t
Rich in the Calaveras Valley
Near San lose

SAN JOSE, March 6.-"Chet" Bald
win, hero OF a thousand thrilling aero
nautic voyages, and known from one
end OF the State to the other as a dar-
ing balloonist, has struck it rich
this time in the Calayeras Valley, only
few miles from this city. Baldwin

plode a charge of dynamite was re-
sponsfbIe for the discovery Of the
shaft and the finding of ore that as
saved s72 10 the ton. The vein is rich
and well defined.
Old residents now recall that they
knew some OF the early-day miners
and that the mine just found by Bald
win was regarded years ago as a pay
ing property.

Herald. Copyright, 1907, by the Herald
Publishing Company.
LONDON. March 6='Mr. Sheridan. .
a comedy in four acts by Gladys Unger.
daughter of Frank Unger of San Fran
cisco. was presented at the Garrick
Theater this evening by Arthur Bour-
chier. The plot is woven around Rich
ard Brinsley Sheridan's second mar
riage.
The Tribune says: There is more
audacity than ingenuity in the struc-
ture of the play, more jocOsity than
wit in the dialogue, but the whole
thing is harmless, good -humored and
quite legitimately amusing to any one
who is fortunate enough not to be
bored by it.
The Morning Post says: =" Mr. Sher-
idan is not play in which the actors
can do much more tnan sustain their
regulations. The piece was we'll re-
ceived and when Mr.. Bourchier led on
Miss Unger there was much cheering. -
The Daily News says: The play is
pretty in the downright, uncompromis-
Ing, sentimental British fashion, and
the audience was delighted with it,"

FRENCH NUNS FINED FOR
REFUSING TO QUIT HOUSE
People Cheer Them After
Conclusion of Court
Proceedings

NANTES, France, March "a Police
Court Judge today inflicted fines OF
$500 upon each of twenty-seven Ursu-
line nuns and a fine of SO upon the
mother superior for persistently refus-
ing to quit their convent in compliance
with the law dispensing religious COM
munities.
The defendants pleaded that both the
grounds and the buildings themselves
belonged to the order, which had been
authorized to carry on educational
work.
The prosecution, while not contesting
this argument insisted upon obedience
to the act of congregations and at the
same time gave warning that further
refusal by the nuns to leave the build
ings would be followed by election.
During the trial the courtroom had
to be cleared because of the demonstra-
tions of a crowd of Catholic sympathiz-
ers, who, at the conclusion of the pro-
ceedings. accompanied the nuns back
to their convent with cheers.
