REGULAR MAKES A DENIAL Asserts He Made No Attempt to Improperly Influence Legislation. RACING INTERESTS INVOLVED Declares Racing With Him a "Past time, Not a Business" Explains to Legislative Committee Letter Made Public. New York, Dec. 5. "I cannot make too emphatic the statement that 1 have never directly or indi rectly, in person or through any corporation or individuals, contribut ed, authorized, or advised the ex penditure of a single dollar to im properly influence legislative action, nor have 1 been asked to do so." August Belmont, chairman of the Jocuey Club, makes this statement in a letter to M. Linn Bruce, chief counsel for the Legislative Investi gating Committee before which Mr. Belmont, was a witness last week. The letter was made public tonight, along with a brief letter from P. K. Sturgis, treasurer of the Jockey Club, saying that he (Sturgis), was in error when he testified recently that James W. Wadsworth, Jr., Speaker of the State Assembly re commended a counsel for the racing interests E. T. Coyne, of Livingston county. This recommendation he adds, came from the Elder Wads worth, State commissioner of racing. Mr. Belmont's letter which Stur gis said he read and heartily endors es says in part: "Since the giving of my testimony before your committee, it has come to my attention, through the news papers, that a most unfair and ciia-1 torted view of my connection with racing interests is sought to be im bedded in the public mind. Racing with me now and for many years has been a pastime, not a business. My financial holdings in property used for racing purposes have al ways been very moderate. The great bulk of my time is devoted to the management of my banking and railroad interests and I now repeat what I stated to your committee that the sweeping allegation of a corrupt use of money to influence legislation was a matter of wjiich it ought to be presumed I was ignor ant. "The claim is made, as I uncer stand it, that money was used to bribe the members of the legislature of 1908 to vote against the Hart Agnew law. "My interest in racing as a sport has prompted me to maintain a gen eral and not a special supervision of the amount of money that were be ing expended by the associations. t would seem that in 1907 upwards of $40,000 was paid to Judge Coyne for services rendered by him before oe Legislature and elsewnere in behalf of racing interests. This money was paid him before the Legislature or 1908, which passed the :aw crippling races came into existence. To this sum most if not all the associations wniriDutea. Tfie figures, while large were claimed by him to be reasonable-in the light of the work iieimrmea. Mr. Coyne had been county judge and surrogate c Liv ingston county and a lawyer ofhign ianaing in the un-State counties. Mr. Belmont then says that the racing interests were very much In terested in securing the active sup- ijoii ot agricultural societies and norse breeders of the State to exert a" possible legitimate influence to preserve their leeral status -ne con tinues, "in a iState-wide way Judge Coyne endeavored to represent us. C e 1 I (y fr ""sscowuii was ever mana tn m tiiat his bills covered any improper disbursements, or that our moneys bad been in 1907, or in anv other fcar, used improperly in influencing legislature.

Boston, Dec. 5. Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, is dead. Announcement of the passing of the venerable leader, which occurred late Saturday night at her home, Chestnut Hill, a suburb, was made at the Sun day morning service of the Mother church in this city yesterday. Natural causes" explains' the death, according to Dr. George L. West, a district medical examiner, who was summoned a few hours after Mrs Ed dy died Later Dr. West added that the more immediate cause was pro bably pneumonia. The news of Mrs. Eddy's death was made known simultaneously by Judge Clifford P Smith, fiist reader of the Mother church, at the close of the morning service, and by Alfred Far- ow, of the Christian Science publica tion committee, in a statement to the press. According to Mr Farlow, Mrs. Eddy died at a quarter before 11 o'clock last night. "She had been indisposed for about nine aays, said Mr. Farlow's state ment, "but had been up and dressed Mid a late as Thursday transacted some business with one of the officials of the Christian Science Church. She took her daily afternoon drive until two days before her going. Saturday she fell quietly asleep and those around her could at first hardly realize tnat she had gone. Her thought was clear until the last and she left no final messages. No physician was in attendance but she had the assistance of the stu dents who comprised her household, With her at the time of her departure were Mr. Calvin A. Frye, Mrs. Laura E. Sagent, Ms. Ella S. Rathvon, Rev. Irving C. Tomlinson, her cor responding secretary, William R. Rath von, and ner secretary, Adam H. Rick ey. Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy was born in Bow, N. H. Her father was a man of some property and local distinction. friend of President Franklin Pierce and other distinguished men of his time. Mrs. Eddy was related to Gen. John McNeil, a hero of Lundy's Lane. On her father's side she was related to Gen. Henry Knox, of revolutionary war fame. She was a first cousin of Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia. Mrs. Eddy's childhood days were spent at Bow, near Concord. As a young wo man she was a confirmed invalid until the healing incident which ushered her to the thresholu of Christian Sci ence. Mrs. Eddy was highly educated, having Deen tutoreu by her brother, Albert tsakerman, a graduate of Dart mouth, member of the New Hamp shire Legislature and Congressman at the time of his death. In 1843 Mrs. Eddy married Maj. Geo. Washington Glover and removed with him to Charleston, S. C, her husband being later stricken and having died, in Wilmington, N. C, with yellow fever. Mrs. Glover returned to her old home at Tilton, N. H., where her son was born. While at Tilton Mrs. Eddy fre quently wrote for the papers and maga zines and was widely read, in l5d in the hope of regaining her son from whom she had been obliged by circum stances to separate, Mrs. Eddy mar ried Dr. Daniel Patterson, a dentist of Franklin. N. H., and in 1862 removed tb Portland, Me., in search of health, consulting P. P. Quimby, a magnetic healer of local reputation. Later she removed, after being benefitted but not healed, to Lynn, Mass., where she lived, with her husband. It was in 1866 that Mrs. Etjdy met with a fall on the ice which was the immediate cause of her discovery of Christian Science. Physicians pronounced her case hopeless and ignoring the medi cine prescribed, Mrs. Eddy, in ner ex tremity, turned to her Bible and claimed to have received such inspira tion and spiritual help from the Bibli cal account of the man with the palsy that she arose from her bed a well wo- m 'Mil A. J 3 ll. nin1if man. Mrs. &aay conunuea me ovuuj and in 1875 her "Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures" was pub lished and the foundation laid for the great denomination of which she was the head. Mrs. Eddy secured a di vorce from Dr. Patterson and in 1877 married Dr. Asa C. Eddy, one of her earlier students of Christian Science, who died in 1882. For some years Mrs. Eddy taught Christian Science in Lynn. In 1881 she chartered the Massachusetts Meta physical College in Boston. The charter far the first Christian Science church was obtained in 1879, and in that year Mrs. Eddy was called to become the pastor of the church. She was nrdalned in 1881. although she had preached five years previously. Mrs. Eddy founded and for a long time edited Toe Christian ' Science Journal, a monthly magazine. In the fall of 1889 Mrs. Eddy removed from Boston to Concord. N. H., and in 1907 to Chestnut Hill, a suburb of Boston. Last Resting Place. That the body of Mary Baker Glo ver Eddy, founder and head of the Christian Science church, who died Saturday night, will finds its last resting place in the crypt under the altar of the First, or "Mother" Church in Boston, is the belief tonight of many of those prominent in the de nomination. , No official intimation to that effect could be had, but so far as could be learned no arrangements have been made to take the body to Mrs. Lddy's birthplace at Bow, N. H, or to Con cord, N. H., where she so long resid ed. A woman in high standing in the church circles said today that there Now No Possible Chance to Replace Liberal Govern ment in England. THE SECOND DAY'S POLLINGS No Possibility of Gaining Enough in Contests Yet to be Held Lon don Much Enthused Over the Results. London, Dec. 5. The position of the parties tonight, after the second day's pollings in the general election, is as follows: Government coalition: Liberals 87, Labor 14; Nationalists 16; total 117 Opposition: Unionists 116. The results today merely confirm the opinion 'formed of the rqsu'ts of Saturday s contests that the uoion- ists now have no possible hope of re placing the Liberal government u power. Tte only question remaining is whether the Liberals will return with a larger or a smaller majority. To gain a bare majority in the new Parliament the Unionists must make a net gain of 62 seats. Thus far, -ita ion i u 4. ': yvTUTtoj;v?&Z 11 and the Liberals six seats. The gain by the Unionists on Sat urday was seven, while the l.ibeials gained four. Today the Unlon&N gained four and the Liberals ;wo seats. A continuation at this rata of progress would fulfill the Unionist prediction that the Asquith cabinet would come back witlua greatly weak ened majority and would be more than ever dependent upon their Irish and Labor allies. It must be remembered, howevrr. that the Liberals lost at the January elections, a large number of seats through three-cornered contests. :urji contests are largely eliminated in the present elections ad this may give the Liberals sufficient gains to bal ance those of the Unionists. It seems likely that the House of 1 Commons will meet with the position of the partus practically uncnaneo. The Unionist rally in Lancashire has been maintained and the Liberal hope ot winning two seats at Pres'on has been 'disappointed, but what the Liberals lost in Lancashire was com pensated for by their better showing in Yorkshire. In Liverpool a strong campaign by the Unionist orator, F. E. Smith had the result of greatly improving the Unionist position. The Unionists gained the seat for the exchange 'It vision of Liverpool, as well as that for Birkenhead. The two seats the Liberals last n London today, Islington North and St. Pancras West, were held by very small majorities in the previous Par liament Apparently, therefore, the metropolis is much the same as i Janu ary in Its attitude towards the con tending parties. Perhaps rather sig nificant are some of the Liberal gains, such aa Wakefield, a cathedral city, which has been represented by a Un ionist for eight years ,and Chelten ham, another Tfory stronghold and residential city, largely composed ot retired officers. It is notable that in the royal bo rough of Windsor the Liberals suc ceeded in reducing the Unionist ma jority. The signs of the conversion of the traditionally conservative middle clas ses' may be an indication of a similar change in the country agricultural districts, which went almost entirely Unionist in January. London tonight is displaying much enthusiasm and the successful candi dates are being borne in processions through the streets with torch lights. There were similar scenes in Liv erpool, Leeds and other towns where elections were held. vThe political clubs were filled with members at the Carleton and other Unionist gathering places and much disappointment was expressed ac Ihe smaUness of the gains, which were expected to be treble what they turn ed out to be. In Liberal quartets the greatest enthusiasm prevailed, for it was predicted, even among the staunchest supporters of the govern ment, that the Unionists would make a net gain of eight seats in today's polling. Among the election resntti was Liverpool (Scotland division). T. P. O'Connor, Nationalist, majority 1, 769, no change. O'Connor's majority last election was 2,167. 1 Norfolk. Va.. Dec. 5.

Arrangements have been fully com pleted for the funeral on Thursday morning at 11 o'clock at the late home of Mrs. Eddy at Chestnut Hill. The services will be simple and the at tendance will be limited to the fami ly, immediate household of Mrs. iuddy, and the leading officials of the Chris tian Science church. Telegrams have been flowing in RfbaAllv from all parts of the world seeking verlflcaition of the news of the death ox Mrs. maj ano contain ing many tributes. (Special Star Telegram.) Durham, N. C, Dec. 5. One of the boldest and most daring deeds heard of here for yea s was committed last night at the railroad junction of the Durham & Southern and Durham & South Carolina railroads, about one mile east of th's city. Men coming along the ra lroad early this morning noticed the bed cf a man lying across the trac!:. Upon investigation it wa?; found tha; the man had a deep wound in the back of hi3 head from which he evidently died. 'It is thought that the bold murder er placed the lifeless body across the track in the hope that some passing train might cut the booy in two and thus removs all susp1c"n. . Sheriff Harvard was notified at once and sent Deputy Sheriff Morgan, who was ac companied by the coroner to the scene. An inquest was immediately held. The body was identified as the body of Walter Tayr. of Duke, a former resident of East Durham. Taylor came over to East Durham Sunday and was seen by many friends. He visited a drug store that night and was latsr seen in a restaurant, this being between 7 and 8 o'clock. Mr. Taylor was 23 years old and is sur- "YCU W1c ai " !T"J ithe apparnce of the ground near km-W m . i C . aa a 'Jt sv nkll J TT ? railroad tracks, where the body was found, it is evident that the dead man put up a b ave fight for his life for when found both of his hands con tained clutches of broom straw. The body was taken to Last Durham, where the coroner's inquest was held and at a late hour this evening the jury bad not rendeied a verdict. The wound in the back of the man's head appears to have been made by a bul let. It is claimed that Reuben Bar bee, who has been in so many murder trials, was the last man seen with Taylor, but up to this time no clue has been found of the man or men who committed the deed. COTTON CARRYING ROADS. Must 'Adhere to the Rule Reparding Validating. New York, Dec. 5. Representatives of 18 of the largest exchange buying banks in the city, at a meeting today decided that cotton carrying roads in the South must adhere strictly to the rule providing that all bills of lading for cotton shall be validated only when the property comes into actual possession of the carrier, otherwise the banks doing a foreign exchange business may refuse to buy the bills. The . attention of officials of banks had been called to the fact that some of the roads were dilatory in this re gard. It is understood that the rep resentatives of the banks agreed una nimously that they could not safely buy foreign bills of exchange against bill of ladings for export cotton un less such bills were validated strictly in accordance with the White Sulphur Springs agreement, made between bankers and railroads last July. This stipulates that bills of lading shall not be signed until the cotton is in the possession of a railroad company. The American Bankers Association, it was learned, has received word from the Interstate Commerce Com mission that it intends to stop the practice of issuing bills of lading for merchandise not actually in the pos session of the carrier.

Senate and House Now Ready to Proceed With Legisla tive Work. DEATH ROLL UNUSUALLY LARGE Fitting Resolutions Adopted to Memory of Departed Members Applause for Champ Clark The Preliminaries. Washington, D. C. 5. The closing session of 61st Congress opened at noon today. Na buiness was trans acted, both branches meeting mere ly to appoint a joint committee to formally apprise the President that the legislative branch of the govern ment was ready to proceed, to call the rolls of members and to .adjourn after adopting resolutions to the memory of those members, who had died since Congress last met. The usual animation marked the opening in both the Senate and House, but the re-union of old leg islative friends was tinged with sad ness because of the heavy toll death had been among their nutneer 91 the past few months. In conse quence the Senate was in session on ly a quarter of an hour, whiie the House occupied 50 minufes of time before Speaker - Cannon declared it adjourned until tomorrow. The mebers, like school boys, released from a class-room, then poured rroin the capital to face a blinding snow storm that had set in at the dawn today. I More than usual interest was1 man ifested in the opening because of the passing of the balance of political power of the end of the session. As a result the galleries were crowd ed to the utmost with visitors, who, had braved the inclement weatner. Since adjournment last June there hQ ho fn..r rioothc ir, ,v, qam."?i ul leave m uwntiry, woere ttetnil.po wo." ..a.a t.oi vo r..,;. IT rrll'hrng-'te aid to have occurred and torial ranks, rendering it necessary to make official announcement in each case when the Senate conveneq,. Vice-President Sherman was prompt in making his appearance in the Sen ate" chamber, and he brought the Senate to order with a rap of his gavel just as the two hands on the big white-faced clock united to an nounce the arrival of the noon hour. Immediately afterward came the op ening prayer by Dr. Ulysses Grant Pierce, who referred to the usual number of deaths during the recess. The roll called that followed dis closed 80 senators present, only 8 failing to respond to their names. Resolutions by Senators Hale, of Maine, and Cullom, of Illinois, pro viding for the notification of the House and the President, respective ly, that the Senate was sitting and prepared for business were adopted before the Senate took cognizance of the work of the Grim Rsaper. in accordance with Mr. Cullom's re solution, he and Mr. Money, of Miss issippi, were appointed to watt upon the President. The Secretary of the Senate was Instructed the necessary information to the House. The deaths announcements were made in order of seniority and each case by the colleague of the deceas ed member. JSenator Martin, or Virginia, broke the official news of the death of Senator Daniel, of that State; Senator Bacon, announced the demise of Senator Clay, of Geor gia; Senator Foster performed a like service in behalf of Senator McBn ery, of Louisiana, and the- series closed with an announcement of the death of Senator Dolliver by Senator Cumins, of Iowa. All ' spoke In feel ing terms of the departed. In connection with the announce ments resolutions expressing the profound, sorrow of the Senate over each of the deaths were adopted af ter which an adjournment was taken out of the resepect to the memory of the four men. In the House the entrance of Rep resentative Champ Clark, of Mis souri, elicited as much applause as did that of Speaker Cannon. The face of Mr. Clark, as he walked down the aisle to his seat on the Demo cratic side was as rosy and shining as was the bright pink carnation he wore in his button hole. Called to order by the bang of Speaker Cannon's gavel promptly on the stroke of twelve, the House re mained In session long enough only to hear a prayer, the roll call ' to adopt resolutions of sympathy , on the death of Representatives Brown low, of Tenessee; Foulkard, of Penn sylvania; Tlrrell, of Massachusetts, and Gilmore, of Louisiana, and the members of the other House who have died since the adjournment ox the previous session and to have the oath of office administered to three new members. Representatives Tawney, Calder- head and Clark were namea ty Speaker Cannon . members of tne joint committee to call upon the President and notify him that Con gress assembled. The new members, who entered upon their duties as representatives of their districts today were John (Continued on Page Eight) New York, Dec. 5. James A. Pat ten, of Chicago, Eugene Scales, of Texas, William P. Brown, of New Or leans, and others were indicted again today by a Federal grand Jury charged with conspiring to monop olize inter-State commerce in avail able cotton during the last four months of the crop year ending Sep tember 10, 1910. The indictment was actually returned on August 4th last, but did not go into effect unti: it was opened today. The accused with their counsel ap peared before Judge Hough, in the criminal branch of the United States District Court, and entered tentative pleas of not guilty. They have until December 11th to demur and argu ments on the demurrer will be heard on the third Monday in January, 1911. The original indictment was found in May last, but the defendant objected that the special grand Jury which returned it had been improp erly drawn and the government, fearing that the courts might find the plea in abatement, well taken, decided to re-submit the evidence to another grand jury which in due course handed down the indictments opened today. It contains eight counts instead of five, and lessen the number of defendants by two, omit ting Sydney J. Harman and Charles A. Kittle, yet naming besides Pat ten, Scales and Brown, Frank B. Hayne and Colonel RoDert M. Thompson, all of whom were orig inally indicted. LABLANC TRIAL NEARS END. Attention of Jury Returned to Widow of Glover. Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 5. The prosecutions direct case against Hat tie LeBlanc on trial for the murder of Clarence F. Glover, probably will be before the jury at the close of tomorrow's session. When the court adjourned tonight, the jury heard the evidence of 21 witnesses, seven of whom testified today Xo witness has yet testified to seeing Hattie LaBlanc 4- 1 1 1 a - 1 efforts by the District Attorney to in troduce testimony that more olosely connected the girl with the crime have been ruled out by the court. On the other hand, during the seven days of the trial, the defense has turned the attention of the jury from the little Cape Breton girl to Mrs. Lillian M. Glover, the widow. Half a dozen witnesess testified to day to seeing Mrs. Glover in her own home about the time the shooting is said to have occurred in the laundry. Mrs. Glover's personal counsel, Samuel D. Elmore, was forced to ad mit on the stand today that he was paid $4,153 by Mrs. Glover immediate ly after the murder to defend her against a situation which had arisen. He said also that he readily detected marks on Hattis's hands when she was dragged from bar hiding place. Whether these marks were powder stains, he could not say, but they looked like it. He further said that she had a scar on her finger. The de fense laid much stress on the fact that in the searching of the Glover house for the girl, a lamp was used and it might have been held close to this hand. CALHOUN HEIRS LOSE. Supreme Court Decides Against Them in South Carolina. Washington, Dec. 5. 'Descendants of the Calhouns', former owners or the "Calhoun lands" in Greenwod county, South fCarolina, today lost the chance of coming Into possession of the old plantation, when the Su preme Court of the United States declared It was without jurisdiction to review a decision of the South Carolina courts, adverse to them. When Downs Calhoun died in 1850 he left a will, which provided that the land should go to hlsf two, sons, Willis Boyd and William Downs, and after their death to their legiti mate children. After the sons died their heirs brought action to get pos session of the lands, but the lower court held that under the then exist ing law of South Carolina the lands had been sold by equity court just after the death of Downs Calhoun In 1850 to satisfy his debts, and that the land had not passed under tne will. The descendants who brought the suit were Mary R. Trimble and Em ma R. Stolenweck, of Alabama, Dora A. Royall, of Virginia, and William A- Calhoun, Edwin Calhoun, Jamie Lock and John C. Calhoun, of Georgia. HARRY LOEB DEAD. Many Years Broken in Raleigh Native of Wilmington. Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 5.
