Sterner ExaminationBe Asked for Sena-

tor Chandler

Opinions Differ as to Way

Christian ScienceLeader Acted

CONCORD N H A C 1 ofthe masters have breathed a word sofar concerning his impressions of

Interview with Eddy theChristian Science leader and the nextfriends derive encouragement from thefact that the commission today is per-mitting Attorney William E Chandler-to dive into Mrs Eddys life from thetime she begun to develop the ChristianScience Idea

Sterner ExaminationThis means that the commission will

accept Mrs Eddys acts for Uw pastthirty years a evidence bearing uponTier present competency to looK afterher personal affairs Senator Chandlerand his colleagues will now proceed toargue for a sterner examination ofChristian Science founder than wasmade during yesterdays fortyliveminutes interview

There ic no authoritative report ofMrs Eddys appearance and demeanorwhite giving to Judge AMrtchs questions the answers which ifi print mayappear so ready and sane

As te her bearing under the ordealopinions differ Her friend declare

she conducted herself like a womanof forty or fifty giving no sign of men-tal or physical decrepitude

Others ay that she was a pitifulspectacle being apparently braced for-th interview and repeating her answersin a trancelike and mechanical manner

On Verge of BreakdownIt is generally acknowledged however

that the inquisitors left the aged womanon the verge of breakdown and for thisreason considerable astonishment wascaused by her appearance immediatelyafter their departure taking her dallyride sitting upright in herriagipano1 waiving her hand at her sonThesa taxes have caused a revival of theruiftsc that Mrs Middy on those drivesIs Impersonated by a yooger and stronger women

Sudden ChangeIt was not until the visitors had said

farewell and left the library that theaged woman sudden andsignificant change Thon a sharp ringing of the bell that hangs close besideMrs Eddys easy chair filled the housewith Its clamor An instant later nmember of her household hurried aftertho departing masters to say Mrs Eddywished to complete her statement

Back into the library darkened bycarefully drawn curtains the mystifiedvisitors hurried They found Mrs Eddywhere they had left hor upright andrigid in hor armchair Excitement hadcrept into her bloodless face and staringeyes

Began Talking at Once

It was clear at first glance that theaged woman was no longer in mood onlyID answer questions Almost before thevisitors wore seated Mrs Eddy wastalking her high though feeble voicepenetrating every corner of the roomNo question was asked none wasneeded

While the masters and lawyers sat Insurprised silence the aged woman toldof her powers to heal thesick and of her miraculous appointment-to grofft

of her own mouth within thespace of ten minutes she had coveredthe whole ground of alleged delusioncharged by the next friends

Acute IntelligenceLawyer Streeter who had invited the

masters to this personal inspection ofaged client assuring thorn of her

door acute Intelligence made no at-tempt t check hor words Side by sidewith the masters and opposing counselhe sat in silence

When the masters came from thesilent house they declined to make anystatement Counsel on both sides werereticent The face of overy man In theparty was grave Senator Chandlershoarded visage looked ashen gray whileLawyer Streelers was sickly white

Passed Distasteful HourIt was fear that these men had passed-

a memorably distasteful hour and hadheard and seen unpleasant things

Silence was maintained a to her condition as read by the trained eye ofthe alienist Dr Jolly There was not-a ward or hint as to her state of mind

body from the two other mastersnothing from Senator Chandler or from

Streeter

Strike Leader SaysSettlement Mustf Be Reached

OMAHA Neb Aug 15 Presi-

dent S J Small of the CommercialTelegraphers gave ou the followinginterview today He this is titfirst authorized interview he hasgiven since the strike began

Three days from now there willnot be a single telegraph wire working in the United States said President Small That is there will be

no wires except those incidental tothe transportation of trains except

ing that a settlement satisfactory to

us is reached In the meantimeConference With Men-

I will go into conference with mycolleagues before I even see my fairlly The attitude taken by both com-

panies in Chicago is dictated from NewYork Whether or not the Yorkofficials have one eye on the distortedreports sent out by the AssociatedPress and the other on the small crowdof strikebreakers I cannot of coursesay but I do know that there are nottnough telegraphers in the United Stalesand Canada to move the business fChicago to say nothing of the rest ofthe country

Because of the duplicity of theofflclals In San Francisco and

LOB Angeles strike spread all overthe country with groat rapidity Asmatters now stand we must have as-

surances from the highest authoritiesof both companies backed up by theguarantee from Government officialsthat they force the two companies tolive up to any agreement that may bereached by arbitration or otherwise before we will return to work I person-

ally regret the inconvenience to the public but tho companies ignored us forfive years and said wo did not havethe nerve to strike

Story of Associated PressWe are now disproving that state-

ment In California the fruit trade lasuffering untold injury In overy othersection of the country business IB

but none of that gets into thenewspapers News Is not being printedThe letter of Melville E stone ofAssociated Press bewailing the hastyaction of the operators in striking on a few hours noticemust sound like music in the ears ofhis operators Why did not Mr Stonetell the story

Over two years ago the same scale ofwages was presented to the manage-ment of the Press and treyhave had all that tlmo to consider itTheir board of directors have met atleast five times since the schedule waspresented

Kicked Men Out

When a committee of five operatorsfirst presented that scale Mr Stonetheoretically tIcked them out of his of-

fice and caused his board of directors torescind a previous resolution granting

and vacations to all Ttis

to force a restoration of these privlligos

What do you expect when you reachChicago and get in thorough withthe situation-

It does not do to tell what one ex

The death of Joachim removes fromthe musical world one of the mastersof this century and one of the few

contemporaries of the greetcomposers Boh in and Mendelssohn

He was born at Klttsev Hungary in1831 and from his earliest childhoodgave of brilliant future thatwas to be his When barely more than hlad litter studying nndei ohm he wentto Leii ig to enter the conservatorythere but after an examination byMendelssohn preparatory to enteringthe latter the young Joseph thattho conservatory had nothing to otterhint his to recognitionin the world of his chosen professionwas rapid

At nineteen years of age he was ap-pointed Hlivctor of the concerts at

a Times reporter tills morning whoreads a canvas of the commission

Many merchants claim that theyare unable to obtain any quotationsfrom Western markets while those who j

say they occasionally receive quotations j

declare that they are so badly delayedm to greatly Inconvonlunc and provepractically valueless to the trade in gen

eralCapt James F Oyster summed thesituation up as follows

TieUp Almost Complete

Manager Saks of Golden Co whoare among the most important LfMurtanaavenue merchants said Tile tieupis almost complete so far sa we areconcerned and both receipts dod

are being greatly curtailed1 endeavored on Monday-

to order a solid car of eggs from anIowa point and the telegraph companyrefused to handle the message at alt-A number of the quotations whfchshould haute come in Monday havenever reached us and as a consequencethe commission business In Washington-is being conducted almost entirely by

Vice President Seattle of the International Union was jubilant this morning at the manner in which the Wash-ington operators word meeting the situation

Not a man has returned to work hesaid but on the other hand we aremining recruits As soon as President

mall arrives in Chicago and issues ageneral strike order I believe that anumber of those operators who are nowholding on awaiting such general instructions walk out furtherpling the companies Some disapointment was circles at the delay yesterday In the promulgation ofthis general order President
