SLOWER TO FIGHT
I WILL OF MOTHER,
IS BOSTON STORY
Foster Son Of Great Christian
Leader May Join In Effort
to Break the
instrument.

Boston. Dec. 14-That George Glover
son OF Mary Baker G. Eddy, late head
! or the Christian Science church, may
contest the will OF his mother on the
grounds that she was incompetent to
make such an instrument is the state
ment made by Attorney Frederick w.
peabody, who figured prominently in
the next friends" suit which result
ed In the settlement by Mrs. Eddy of
$245,000 on her son.
| The statement was the result of a
conference Glover held with Peabody
In which the attorney advised that he
nght for his mothers 81, SOC, 900 estate,
the bulk of which, 1t is shown. has
been requested to the Christian
Science church.
| At the conference also were DIR. E.
| Foster-Eddy, Mrs. Eddy's adopted son
| rom vermont, and Glover's son and
laughter. 1t was held at the Adams
aouse, where Glover went after leav-
ing the Longyear estate In Brookline,
where he was entertained from the
time or his mothers funeral
| Peabody stated that the Glovers
would not return to Lead, s. D., until
Mrs. Eddy's will was probated and he
nas settled on course of action.
! Incompetent to Make Will.
Peabody said that he had advised
1
| Middlesex county court for letters of
administration on Mr.. Eddy's estate
because of the fact that Mrs. Eddy's
son has no positive knowledge that a
| VIII has been made and has been I'M
able to get copy of such will. IL 1t
| exists.
Peabody also held that the deed of
settlement is so involved as to be con-
trary to public policy and that the will
| Is invalid because of Mrs. Eddy's in
competency to make a will.
Moreover, Peabody advised that the
gift made by Mrs. Eddy to the Chris
ton Science church is of itself invalid.
!nasmuch as the supreme court of
pennsylvania has already adjudicated
that the teachings of Christian Science
are contrary to public policy.
MIR. Glover is giving this whole
| matter very serious consideration"
said Peabody. "All that I can say at
the present time Is that he Is fully
alive to the situation. Personally be-
lieve that he will take such legal ac-
ton as will fully safeguard and pre-
serve his interests in the enormous for
tune which his mother accumulated.
He Will remain on the scene until
his mothers will Is offered for pro-
bate. so that he may inform himself
Of its exact contents. f. Foster Eddy,
Mrs. Eddys adopted son. is acting with
George w. Glover and they are in per-
feet harmony. shall not be surprised
to see litigation started that will set
tie all these. many perplexing ques-
TONS"
Besides laying stress on the Penn
sylvania decision, I'm urging Glover
and DR.. Foster Eddy to fight, Peabody
held that the Christian church no
longer is competent, since through the
peculiar nature Of It's bylaws the
death of its leader leaves fha directors
handicapped.
The point of view Of the Christian
Scientists on this matter. however,
was set out in an official statement
that declared directors as ample au-
thority under the church manual.

HITCHCOCK ON TRAIL
OF AN INDIAN AGENT
Omaha Congressman Accuses
Woods Of Standing In With
Harvester Trust.

Washington, Dec. 14.--Representative
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, Will possibly
carry to the secretary of the interior
his fight against the effort OF Super
intendent j. b. Woods, of the Rosebud
Indian agency in South Dakota. to
compel Indians to purchase Mccormick
mowers and rakes. Mr.. Hitchcock ex-
hibited on the floor OF the House q
letter from Woods directed ito all
farmers and Mr.. Cation" in which he
ordered that no Indians be allowed to
buy "other than standard farming i'm
plements such as the Mccormick, John
Deere ETC."
To this was appended a postscript
saying Mccormick mowers and rakes
were to be preferred in all cases. Mr..
Hitchcock aired the matter in the dis
cussion of the Indian bill in the House
and denounced as an outrage for q
man in Woods position to discriminate
between legitimate business concerns.
1t was clearly intimated in the de-
bates that an attempt was being made
to favor the harvester trIst. Represen-
tative Burke put himself In the atti-
tude Of defending the Woods letter.
though he denied that was his purpose.
Nothing was done with the Indian bill
to head off such Determinations as
Woods is charged with. Burke contends
1t Is matter of administration and
Hitchcock will doubtless go to the in
terror department about it,

PASSENGERS FACE
DEATH IN RAGING
WATERS OF OCEAN
More Than 100 Persons Are In
Danger of Perishing as Re-
suit of Accident to the
Vessel.

Valdez, Alaska, Dec. H.
All of the passengers of the
wrecked steamship Olympia
have been saved. Some of them
were brought here by the gov
eminent launch, Fort Liscoyn,
and the others are safely
housed at Ellemar.
-
Seattle, Wash. Dec. 14.--News In
anxiously awaited concerning the fate
OF the LOG persons on the steamship
Olympia, which went on the rocks at
the southeastern end of Bligh island.
Prince William sound, Alaska, during
a furious storm early yesterday morn
ing. Steamers and launches are hur-
rying to the aid OF the vessel from
Seward Valdez and Katalla, and X the
gale permits. the passengers should
reach Valdez today.
No Word of Rescuers.
Latest dispatches from Cordova and
Valdez say that no word had been re-
ceived from the wireless operator on
the Olympia that would indicate that
any OF the rescuing craft had arrived.
The only means of communication be-
tween Seattle and Cordova and VAL
dez is by military cable, operated by the
United States army signal corps When
the cable office closed for the night the
last word received by the operator at
the naval wireless station at Cordova
was that the passengers and crew were
still aboard the Olympia, which was
being pounded and tossed about on the
sharp rocks by the heavy sea.
On account Of the fury of the storm
the passengers will not attempt to take
to the small boats unless they see that
the steamer can hold together no
longer.
Wireless Operator q Hero.
Cable dispatches from Cordova indl-
cate that Wireless Operator Hayes Is
the hero OF the wreck.
In spite of the fact that the Olympia
was being tossed violently and the
wireless was worked with difficulty,
Hayes stuck to his post and managed
to reach the operator on duty at the
naval wireless station at Cordova with
his calls for assistance. The operators
kept In touch with each other as much,
as possible, but there were distressing
ly long intervals when the governments
shore station was unable to detect a.
vibration from the Olympia's wireless.
Hayes finally succeeded In getting
his instruments to work long enough
to flash the good news to the shore
station 40 miles away that all were still
on board the Olympia, hopeful that she
would hold together until the rescuers
arrived.

new TRIAL GIVEN
TO LIFE CONVICT
Young Man Has Served Over a
Year for Shooting His Sweet
heart at Sturgis.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Dec. 14.-One OF
the most interesting murder trials to
take place in South Dakota this year
will be the new trial OF Oscar Jacobs,
n young man who is serving q life
term in the Sioux Falls penitentiary
for the murder of his sweetheart, Miss
Elba Roberts, which will commence in
the state circuit court of Meade coun-
ty on tomorrow.
Jacobs is charged with having at
about $3.50 o'clock on IL evening of
January IS, 1909. fired the shot which
killed Miss Roberts. Sturgis was the
scene of the killing. The girl met her
death In the millinery establishment
of Mrs. John +. White, where she was
employed
The dead girl was not quite 10 years
old and Oscar Jacobs was only "a. He
arrived at Sturgis less than three
weeks before the death of Miss Rob-
erts, coming from Steele, N. d. He
was sutton for the hand Of the girl,
having known her several years before
either went to Sturgis.
Who Fired tho Shot?
One of the important witnesses for
| the prosecution at the first trial, as
| he will be at the new trial which Is to
| commence Tuesday, was John f..
f, White, husband of the woman by
whom Miss Rogers was employed.
White, who was In the nVlnS apart
ments OF himself and wife and Miss
| Roberts in the rear OF the building
was suddenly aroused by scream, o
shot and a noise as though some one
| had fallen. Running into the front
room he found the body OF the CIR
| on the floor and Jacobs standing near
| by The weapon lay on the floor.
At his first trial Jacobs alleged that
the girl took the gun from his pocket
| and shot herself. 1t Is believed that
at the new trial the same sort of a
defense will be made and an effort
made to convince the jury that the
| girl secured possession of the weapon
and shot herself, and that Jacobs was
in no way responsible for the tragic
death of the girl.
Jacobs first trial took place IN June
of last year and resulted In his con.
| yiction and the imposition of a life
sentence.
The new trial was granted by the
state supreme court. 70 which Jacobs
took an appeal after his conviction

Final Showing Made Is a Gain
Of Over 100000 Persons
In the Decade Between
1900 and 1910.

Washington, Dec. 13.--The
population of the United States
Is 93,402,151. This is the total
number of people enumerated
throughout the states, territor-
les, District of Columbia, Alas
ka, Hawaii and Porto Rico in
the 18th census, which began
