head of the Christian Science church,
to make disposition of so large a part

Gently announced, or any other appro-
priation from Mrs. Eddy's estate. pend
ing the outcome Of litigation.
According to Former United States
Senator William E. Chandler, this ac-
ton Is to be followed by a new law

head and her trustees, brought by the
next friends" Mrs. Eddy's son,
George w. Glover, his daughter. Mary
Baker Glover, and Mrs Eddy's adopted
son, DIR. Ebenezer J. Foster of Water

that the proposed appropriation of ST.

Eddy's deed of trust OF March G. 1907,
by which she turned over all her prop
erty to the three trustees for life, re-

and certain realty, and which act

demanding information concerning the
deed of trust for s125,000 set aside by
Mrs. Eddy for the benefit of her son,

terry In New Jersey.

New York, Dec. 31.--Some light was
thrown on the mystery surrounding
the death of the woman whose nude
body was found last Thursday half
hidden in the muddy ooze of pond
near Harrison, N. j., when Mrs Frank
Hull OF this city went to the Newark
morgue and declared positively that
the dead woman was Mrs. Agnes
Young, who formerly lived with her
and later with Mrs. King in Brook
lyn. The police believe that Mrs.
Hull's Identification is correct. Mrs.
Hull said that she went to Jersey City
with Mrs. Young on Christmas day.
Following luncheon she parted with
her companion, who. she understood,
was going on to Newark to join a
houseboat party. She said that Mrs.
Young was the wife OF an engineer,
but that she had not lived with her
husband for several years.
Mrs. Hull said that when they left
Mrs. Kings home on Christmas morn
ing, Mrs. Young had $500 in her purse
and wore a diamond ring On their
arrival at Jersey City they were met
by man, whom she named, with
whom they had luncheon. When the
luncheon party broke up, Mrs. Hull re-
turned to this city.

THE TRIAL OF HARRY THAW
No New Line Of Defense Has Been
Prepared.

New York, Dec. 30.-On Jan. 6,
Harry K. Thaw win be called a sec
ond time before jury to make his
defense to the charge of having muir
dered Stanford White. There have
been several postponements of the
date of the second hearing OF this
noted case. but 1t is said now there
/ will be no further delay.
1t is announced that Mrs. William
Thaw. mother of the defendant. is ex-
pected in the city by next Saturday.
Other members OF the family circle,
including Mrs. George Carnegie, Harry
Thaw's sister, and Josiah and Ed
ward Thaw, his brothers, are also ex-
pected to reach the city during the
week and will remain throughout the
trial. The Countess Of Yarmouth, the
defendants sister, is at present in
England and is not expected to attend
the second trial. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw. who has been a daily visitor at
the Tombs ever since the first Thaw
jury disagreed, Will, of course. be one
OF the first arrivals in the courtroom.
There have been many rumors as to
the plans of the defense for the Sec
ond hearing Of the case, and it has
been predicted that an entirely new
line of action might be followed. 1t
can be authoritatively stated, however,
that the defense will again be the
same, that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will
again relate her story to the jury and
that an imposing array OF expert alien
lists will again undertake to establish
the theory that Thaw was insane at
the time he killed Stanford White in
the Madison Square roof garden, but
has so far recovered his mental BAL
ance since that time as to be no longer
menace to the community and there.
fore Is entitled to freedom. This theory
was expounded at length during the
first trial, but after the taking OF much
expert testimony, and after a lunacy
commission had declared Thaw sane
at the present time, the plea of tenn.
porary insanity was practically aban-
doned In the summing up speech of
Dolphin NJ Delmas, the California at
torney, who made almost direct appeal
to the so-called "unwritten law"
In the coming trial it is declared
there will be no mention made of
higher or unwritten law, but the de-
Tense will adhere strictly to plea
OF legal insanity at the time the act
was committed

LEAVES WITH REGRET.
Japanese Ambassador Has Only the
klndest Feeling for America.

Washington, Dec. 31.-"We snali
take back home with us to Japan only
the kindliest feeling for America ana
for her people and the highest regard
for her institutions" said Viscouht
Aoki. the Japanese ambassador, Just

place they will sail on Jan. Z for home.
The ambassador returns to Japan at
at the instance OF his government,
which desires to consult with him free
ly regarding conditions affecting Japa-
nese Interests In America, notably re-
lating to the question of Japanese emf
grafton to the United States. Wis.,
count Aoki has represented Japan as
ambassador to the United States for
about year and half and during
that time las manifested the utmost
activity ana interest in all matters af-
fecting his countrymen. He was the
first ambassador accredited TO the
United States from Japan and because
of his extensive experience in the
diplomatic service was regarded as es-
pecially qualified for the important
duties which demanded his attention
here. He said that his relations with
the American government always had
been Of most agreeable and pleasant
character and that his treatment by
the Washington government had been
uniformaly courteous and considerable.
He had learned here a great deal
that was of Importance to him. and 1t
was with considerable regret that he
and the yiscountess were to leave the
hospitable shores of America.

understanding will be reached on this
immigration questionable only one of

Japan will make every honorable con-
cession within bounds, and | feel
equally confident tlat the American
government win no Insist upon any
thing unreasonable that will in any
way compromise 1ignity or the
honor OF the Japa government.
Both governments striving to
reach an honorable sos non of the i'm
migration question and the latest ad-
vices that We have received from our
government indicate that the way is
gradually being paved with that end
in view. AS | have. said again and
again, there is every reason In the
world why both countries should have
the most complete understanding and
continue in most amicable relations"
