ONLY ONE MORE DAY HERE
THE PRESIDENT TO GO TO OYSTER
BAY WEDNESDAY.
Expects to Remain There Until the
Last Of September-Plans
for Return Trip.

President Roosevelt will spend just one
more day in Washington this summer That
will be tomorrow. Wednesday morning at 0
o'clock he will leave for Oyster Bay, his
summer home. and he will not leave on his
return to Washington until the last of Sep
TENDER. Even then he does not intend to
come directly here, but will go to Canton.
Ohio, to attend the dedication of the monu-
ment to William Mckinley, and then will
go down the Mississippi river.
The President will put in the entire day
tomorrow in his offices getting things ready
for his departure with Mrs. Roosevelt the
next morning for Oyster Bay. Routine bust
ness is in pretty good shape at the White
House, and the President is expected to be
able to get it out Of the way without trou-
BILE.
The suggestion today that the Japanese
situation, which has been portrayed as be-
coming unsatisfactory from the American
point of view. might keep the President
here and prevent his going to Oyster Bay
until later was met with the semi official
statement that nothing of the kind Is look
ed for AS viewed at the White House the
agitation in Japan for action against this
country is largely political. The outs are
after the ms, and they are making the most
of the jingoism that they are stirring up by
threats against the United States. The
President, it Is said, has no apprehension
that there will be trouble between Japan
and this country. If he had. it is improba-
BILE that he would continue his preparations
to leave Washington. He would stay here,
and with Secretary Root, would apply him
self to adjusting THE differences At Oyster
Bay he will be able to handle with care
whatever negotiations may be necessary.
and the only contingency that would bring
him back to Washington would be a grave
crisis that threatened rupture or war with
the country of the mikado.

CONTEST OVER EDDY ESTATE.
Judge Orders Mrs. Eddy's Competency
Determined by Master,

CONCORD. n. H, June 1O.-Judge Cham
berlain today ordered Mrs. Mary B. Eddy IS
competency determined by a master In
atives for an accounting of Mrs Eddy s
property.
The right Of the "next friends" to
bring suit for an accounting of the
property of Mrs. Mary Baker C
Eddy. founder and leader of the
Christian Science religion. was the question
that Judge Robert n. Chamberlain of the
Merrimack superior court was called upon
to consider today. Two weeks ago the
court heard arguments on the motion of
Gen. Frank S. Streeter. representing the
three trustees to whom Mrs. Eddy had
transferred her property. asking that the
trustees be granted leave to intervene and be
substituted plaintiffs in place of next
friends in the equity proceedings brought
against Calvin A. Frye, Mrs. Eddy's secre-
tary, and nine other prominent members of
the Christian Science Church. This motion
has been denied by the court
Today Gen. Streeter appeared in the
double capacity of counsel for the trustees
and counsel for Mrs. Eddy. The motion
argued was voluminous document the
substance of which was request for a
dismissal of the suit of the next friends
and the discontinuance of the equity pro-
ceedings against Frye and the nine other
defendants. This action was asked on the
ground that 1t was not brought in good
faith, Mrs. Eddy Is competent to attend her
own affairs and that her property is well
managed.
The next friends who in their bill in
equity allege that Mrs. Eddy is at the
mercy of clique of the Christian Science
Church and that her property is being d-
Verted by such clique to its own ends. are
her son, George W. Glover of Lead, S. D.
his daughter. Mary Baker Glover: Mrs
Eddy's adopted son. DR.. Ebenezer j. Fos-
ter Eddy of Waterbury. VT; her cousin,
George w. Baker of Bangor. Ne, and her
nephew. Frederick W. Baker of EPSON,
New Hampshire.
1t was anticipated today that should
Judge Chamberlain deny the motion of
Gen. Streeter the court would lay down
a course of procedure to be followed in the
suit. probably beginning with the appoint
ment of a master to determine the ques-
ton of Mrs. Eddy's competency.

TAFT'S BOOM IN new YORK |
SPECULATION THERE AS TO
oDELL's ATTITUDE.
Regarded as Certain That Hughes
Friends Will Oppose Movements in
Favor of Any Other Man.

Politicians will follow with deep interest
the progress of the efforts of Manager
Vorys and Mr.. Henry W. Taft in behalf
| Of the Taft presidential boom in New York
Both gentlemen are now on the scene, and
| it is the understanding here that they will
look over the field and estimate the proba-
biities of working up some Taft senti-
| ment among the republicans Of influence in
the Empire state.
There is another gentleman on the scene,
too-Senator Dick Of Ohio. He is in New
York on business, and the politicians say
he will probably point out to the aforesaid
republicans of influence that there is some
discord in Ohio over the presidency. Sem
ator Dick 1t is thought, will advise the New
Workers to move cautiously and to look be-
fore they leap.
For all that, it Is assumed by politicians
J here that the Roosevelt sentiment in New
York Will respond at once to the call or
the Taft boomers, and that the Presidents
| warm friends will enlist themselves at once
in Secretary Taft's behalf. 1t is expected
that there will be pronounced expression
favorable to Taft from the group of New
York state politicians who are backing
the President in all his deals.
As to Cdell's Attitude.
| There is some speculation to Mr.. Odell's
| attitude. Mr.. Odell has been somewhat OBJ
Scul GU ny Inc dSccHuduCS anu
| of Gov Hughes star of late, but New
| York politicians know that Odell still has a
| following in the state, and that if he de-
termines upon course which promises
practical politics and summons his fol-
lowers to his side he rally faction
sufficiently numerous to require reckoning
with in the windup.
Mr.. Odell as rule is opposed to anything
| that Mr.. Roosevelt wants. But in this case
| there are complications There is Hughes
to be considered. Odell does not like
Hughes and is jealous of his accession to
power and resentful of his reforms. Sup
| pose it should turn out that there was
more in it, for Odel by taking up with
| the President, through espousal of the Taft
cause, than by fighting him; what would
Odell do?
Opposition by Hughes Friends.
1t is assured that Gov. Hughes friends
| will fight the Taft boom, not because of the
! personality of the Secretary, but because
| it is the first boom that has invaded the
| state. They will have to resist every out
| slider in behalf of their own man-Hughes.
| They will have to fight the Knox, the Fair
banks and the Cannon boomers, too, when
| they come along. Taft's head will be the
| first to bob up-so fire at 1t.
All these considerations lend peculiar in
| terest to the mission of Mr.. Vorys and Mr..
! Henry W Taft in New York. and the poll
! ticians will wait eagerly for them to report
progress

government in the matter has been extreme
ly modest.
1t is true that what is regarded as the
opposition press in Japan has INDUCED In
some rather extreme language, and has
clamored without reason for action by their
own government that would surely lead to
grave consequences. But for the Japa-
nese government itself. and in this it is
believed to represent the majority of the
Japanese people, 1t is said at the State De-
partment that it has pursued precisely such

quently, and it is said to be the rule. where
they exceed the ability of the police pow
ers, for the diplomatic representative of
the nation whose subjects are affected to
courteously draw the attention OF the gem
eral government to the situation in order
to guard against an extension of the dis
order.
May Postpone Negotiations.
One result of the extreme newspaper
agitation of the friction in San Francisco
will be. it is believed, the indefinite post
ponement of the plan to initiate negotia-
lions during the summer looking to the
conclusion of a treaty between the United
States and Japan that should definitely
regulate the immigration Of Japanese into
the United States, and it is suggested by
one of the officials that probably that re-
suit is exactly what was sought to be &C
complshed by the opposition agitators in
Japan and on the Pacific coast.
Secretary Root plans to leave Wash
ington on the 2lst instant for his country
home. where he will spend the summer, re-
naming probably until the date of his
Mexican trip He will be In Geographic
and telephone communication with Wash
ington and with oyster Bay during that
time.
Yamaoka a Shrewd Politician.
Yamaoka who claims to have brought
about the alliance with the japanese of the
Pacific coast is one of the leaders of the
progressves, a faction which was led by
Toru Hoshi, formerly minister TO the United
States who was assassinated after he re-
turned to Toxic in 1897 and accepted a place
in the cabinet. Yamaoka is described as a
slrewd politician. and it is said that he will,
as leader of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. forces,
continue his fight against the Saionji minis
try with the view of getting control of the
reins of the government for the progress
sives. /: is stated that he will make the
charge that Foreign Minister Hayashi has
allowed Ambassador Aoki to pursue too
conciliatory course and make too many
concessions In dealing with the United
States government regarding the san FRAN
cisco questions.
While in Washington Messrs. Takahashi,
Noda and Kawakam were in frequent con-
ferences with Ambassador Aoki until final
" there was an open rupture, which caused
the delegation to make the threat to the
ambassador that they would report his
"treachery' to the home government and
demand his recall. While no intimation
has come from Toxic that Iamaoka has re-
quested the amba ssador's removal from Of
fee the news of such a demand will not
come as a surprise to ViscOunt ACki.
