Colorado Prison Association.

Denver-Three hundred and fifty
paro!ed prisoners aided, sixty,
three furnished with clothing and
forty -one provided for at the
Temporary home, is the record
of the Colorado Prison Association
for the year 1906. In the ninth annual
report. issued yesterday by President
H V. Johnson, touching epitome OF
the work accomplished by this body is
furnished.
That common sense, not a vague ana
futile humanitarianism, are the funda
mental motives of the association, Is
shown. both by results achieved and
the following statement in the report: +:
IF this association can prevent some
reasonable percentage of eN-convicts
from lapsinS back into the criminal
habits it is evident that this associa
ton te nds not only to the humanitar-
ian side, but also to the economical
side of the state government.
when the convicts are turned out
of prison, as a rule, they have no place
to 20. no position in which they can
earn a livelihood and they are ham
pered by the fact that they are gen
orally known and spotted as ex-con-
yicts. The result is that unless they
are looked after for while and as
sisted in reasonable degree by an as
sociation such as this, they lapse into
their old habits and land in the penl-
tentiary again"
Great credit is given to the work OF
General Secretary w. E. Collett. Dur
Ing 1906 he Travelled more than l5,ooo
miles on railroads, delivered slXty-llve
public addresses, aided l54 prisoners
and ex-prisoners personally, giving
clothing to siXty-three of these and
keeping forty-one of them at his home
for periods varying from a day to q
week. Few of these have been re
turned to prison for violation oil incl.
paroles or new crimes. He raised $"'
225. 40 for the work and the assoclaton
started the wear 1907 with lG3.72 in

PETITION OF STATE ovERRULED.
Idaho Judge viii Not Permit Witness
Adams to Be Recalled.

Wallace, ldaho.-The sharpes, fight
that has yet occurred in the long trial
of Steve Adams fer the murder of Fred
Tyler ended Friday in legal victory
for the defense. when Judge Wood an
nounced that he would Cverrule the pc
tition of the state for permission TO re-
call Mrs. Arthur Phillips, and thus TO-
open the case for the pros cution.
While it is believed here that this
startling change in the aspect OF the
trial renders Adams conviction Of the
murder of Tyler di;Iicult, it is not be
lie ed he has any chance of NgaininS
his liberty at present. He is wanted
by the state as one its most impor
tant witnesses in the approaching trial
of Moyer, Haywood and Pet;ibone, OF
ficers of the Western Federation Of
Miners, for the assassination of former
Governor Steunenberg.
AT least three courses are open TO
the state. 1t can hold Adams for trial
for the murder of Settler B9ule, which
crime he confo ssed to Detective Nc
Parland; can hold him for completely
in the Steune nberg murder, also men
toned in his confC ssion, or may send
him tc Colorado to be tried for taking
part in blowing up the depot at inhe-
pendence. where several non.union
miners. were killed.

NEW FOREST RESERVES.
The President Will Anticipate the Con
aressional Resolutions.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
has checkmated the effort of combi-
nation of Republican senators to halt
his policy of preserving the public FOR
ests and TO leave the timber lands at
the mercy of predatory lumber mo
noLolies.
The agricultural appropriation act
provides that. except by act OF Con-
gress, no additional forest reserve
shall be created in the six western
states which are richest in timber.
Taking advantage of the brief period
before that measure will become law
under his signature, President Roose
vclt will promulgate an order sweepin2
into reserves more than lOO,ooV,ooJ
acres of forest lands.
Senators who obtained amendment
of the agricultural bill to their own
ends are resting contentedly, unaware
of the move by which the President
has beaten them. Their rude awaken
ing will be followed by the disclosure
by the administration of the way IN
which the forest resources of the coun-
try have been devastated by lumber
combinations. This is relied upon to
walien public sentiment to an extent
which will approve the President S
policy.

SENSATION IN ADAMS CASE.
State Now Claims that Killing o.
CURED on Another Date.

Wallace. Idaho.-According to the
information filed against Adams, Tylol
had been murdered Wednesday. An
gust 10th. and had therefore eaten sup
per at the Phillips house the night oil
Tuesday, August 9th.
After having given hcl testimony
Mrs Phillips recalled TO memory tht'
Tyler had eaten supper at the Philip
cabin the night of Saturday, Angus
9th, and from this 1t follows that lyle.
must have been murdered the mornir.J
of Sunday, August 7th. the day o.
which Adams arrived at Mason's cabi !.
nd participated in the birthday din
ucr.
If Judge Woods. who has taken tfe
matter under advisement until mori-
ing decides to allow the prosecution
TO recall Mrs. Phillips to the stand, th'
whole tenor of the case will be altered
and it may be shown that if Tyler wai
murdered Sunday morning, Adams.
Mason and Glover, the three men i'm

Immediately after the crime started FOL
Masons cabin and arrived III time tc
participate IN lne DlftHuay uiiHeA, .i-
testified. The distance between the
scene of the murder and MasonN
cabin is about fifteen miles.
Archie Phillips testified on direct ex.
animation to hearing shots about B
o'clock on the morning of the crime. SO
that good time would be given the de-
fendant to reach Mason's cabin in time
for dinner if the murder had been com
mtted in the morning. and the whole
case of the alibi as proved by the de'
fen3e would fall to pieces.
The matter was holly deDated py
both sides, and the oratorical efort o.
the trial was made by MIR. Darrow.
Mr.. Hawley replied well TO barrow
arguments and the contest between the
opposing counsel was the most D:iliiah'
ever heard in Wallace.
Court adjourned at the close ci MI
Darrow's speech.

N AIRY B. EDDY
HER CON SUES FOR A RECEIVER
FOR ESTATE.
SAYS SHE is DECEIVED
BY Her Advisers Who Are Taking Ad-
vantage Of Her Age for Their
Financial Advantage.

Concord, n. H-A bill in equity to
secure an accounting of the financial
affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker-Glover-
Eddy. head of the Christian Sciencet
Church. has been filed in the Superior
Court for Merrimac county, by Mrs.
Eddy's son. George w. Glover OF Dead
wood, South Dakota, and his daughter,
Mrs. Mary Baker-Glover, and George
w. Baker of Bangor, Maine, nephew
and next friend" of Mrs. Eddy.
The bill is directed against Alfred
Farlow and other trustees of the Chris
tian Science Church in Boston; Calvin
A. Frye, Mrs. Eddy's secretary; Lewis
o. Strang, her assistant secretary. and
Herman S. Herring, first reader of the
church in Concord.
Besides demanding an accounting OF
all transactions regarding Mrs Eddy's
AFFAIRS, the bill asks for restitution in
case any wrong-doing appears; for In
junction during the litigation against
Interference with her property and
business, and for receiver.
In staten,ent issued tonight by for
mer United States Senator William e.
Chandler, special counsel in the action,
it is declared Mr.. Glover is actuated
by no spirit of disrespect to his mother,
but believes that the proceeding is in
her real interest.
Mr.. Clover says that the action is
not directed against the religion OF
the Christian Scientists. The state
ment further declares that Mr.. Glover
had long thought his mother was grow
ing too feeble in body and mind TO at
tend to important business matters
but that for a long time he was unable
to confirm this suspicion because those
about her seemed unwilling TO allow
even her nearest relatives to have an
interview long enough to reveal her
actual condition.
Early in January. it is said, Mr
Glover. during visit to Concord was
enabled to have a short talk with his
mother. and after due consideration ne
decided on the present action as an
imperative duty too long neglected.
Specifically the bill alleges that the
nominal plaintiff. Mrs. Eddy, who sues
"bv her next friend" has for a long
time been incompetent to do business
or understand transactions conducted
in her name. The next allegation Is
that the defendants have possessed
themselves of her personal property
and have carried on her business.
1t is also alleged that. having done
this knowing of her infirmlly, they
have become trustees for nearly all Oh
her property which has come into her
posse ssion, and are bound to give ac'
count thereof and of all transactions IN
| her Eame. A..
1t is declared that there is reason to
fear that the defendants wronGiu'ly
converted some of her property 10
their own use and that there are trans
actions of which an account should Dc
| given.

SUIT AGAINST MRS. EDDY.
Her Attorney Declares that Charges
Mad, Are Entirely Unfounded.

Concord. n. H.-General Frank $.
Streeter, legal adviser of Mrs. Mary
Baker CT Eddy has issued a statement
replying to various allegations IN the
bill of equity which has been brought
against trustees and directors OF the
Christian Science church by relatives
of Mrs. Eddy with the view of obtain
ing an accounting of funds.
Early Saturday morning. he says
81 sent 10 Mrs Eddy a copy of the bill
in equity as published, but not YET
served upon any Of the defendants, aa
far as aminformed. have since mad
n conference with her, at which tins
proceeding and matters connected
herewith were fully discussed.
"In common with her many friends,
she believes that the initiative was not
taken by her son or other relatives put
bv others who in markedly unusual
manner and by unique methods are
undertaking under the guise of court
proceedings to continue the persecu'
tion begun some time ago.
From my conferences with her a.
the time and on other recent occasions
| am able to speak definitely and posi-
lively EeI clenrness of mind and res
oluteness of purpose by her advanced
years. Her capacity TO think clearly
and to dcs., accurately and justly with
importap- business affairs has never
more perfectly demonstrated than IN
her conferences and acts me last W."
weeks ana in numerous business let
ters in hcr own Handwriting which |
have received from her during tina
time.
..'rhe amount of Mrs Edlv's prope"t'
has been grossly multiplied by rumor
and unfonnded reports. She S not nos
sessed of lar"e wealth IS the term is
used. Mrs. Eddy receives no income
from the church nor from the church
publication society. Her sole income
for MANY Years has been from the copy
right on her own books. and tho
amount from this source has been over
estimated.
Mrs. Eldy's business affairs have
been managed by herself with the alh
of Mr.FryH and under the oversieht
and personal audit of another gentle
man. whose name has not been men
toned. aut who stands for all That is
honorable and If good repute in finan-
cial circles in Concord. Accurate ac-
counts of all her property and invest
ments, as well as her annual income
and expenditures. have been carefully
kept and frequently audited. The last
audit was in October, 1906. None OF
the defendants named except Mr.. Frye,
has any connection with the manage
ment of her property or investments.
or has an, knowledge whatever in ref
erence there o. nor have any of the
said defendants ever received anN
property OF Mrs. Eddy which they hold
in trust or otherwise, except in one in
stance for the benefit of relation.

CEMENT UNDER THE BAN.
Claimed That Trust and Union Forbid
Its Use.

Dcnver.-That an agreement to XIII
off the use of concrete in the super
structure of buildings has been formed
between the brick trust and the Ma
tionnl Bricklayers' Union, is the latest
sensation in building circles. lronclad
rules have been promulgated and some
half dozen Denver contractors who IN
sist upon the extensive use Of con
crete have been refused brick by the
trusts.
The plan is national in scope ana
the thumb-screws are being adjusted
throughout the country by trusts, ii Is
said.
The agreement is practically that
bricklayers have agreed TO handle no
more concrete blocks. They refuse to
lay brick on any structure where tne
concrete foundation extends above the
ground line. This rule was passed a
week ago by the Denver Bricklayers
Union. Any contractors violating theS'
terms are refused brick from the trusts
and union men will not accept work on
their structures.
