TO APPLY THE LAW TO HEALING.
THEODORE sUrRo TO APPOINT A COMMIT
TEE OF NINE TO DRAFT REMEDIAL
LEGISLATION.

Those who have charge Of the movement TO
secure legislation TO curb the practice Of healing
by self professed Christian Scientists and pro-
hibiting the exclusion from the sick room Of
regularly qualified physicians do not intend to
go about the work in a perfunctory way The
meeting at the Waldorf Astoria on Thursday
night was the arst step. and 1t is TO be followed
by others Theodore Sutro. who presided at the
meeting in question. was empowered to appoint
a committee TO tske steps toward drafting
remedial legislation and bringing the same TO
the attention OF the legislative body Mr.. sutro
said last night that this committee would con-
sist OF nine members. but that he did not know
just when ne would appoint them.
This committee Mr.. Sutro explained, would
be vested with such powers that he did not
think II should be made up haphazard. II Is
the intention OF Mr.. Sutro to have both sides
represented on this committee. The committee
will probably he named by next Wednesday. and
soon organized will start directly TO work
The meeting held at the Waldorf Astoria has
excited great interest IN the city and both those
who favor and those who oppose the practice
OF Christian Science healing are taking sides
Strong discussion is looked for when the COM
mittee meets. and the arguments Will doubtless
cause widespread interest
