Judge M'Pherson Of Federal Court
Hands Down Decision.

Des Moines, Dec. 4.--Judge Smith
Mcpherson handed down decision IN
the case of the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings bank. trustees, against 8. X. Min
ton and others, In which he announces
that the complainant has no standing
In court. The suit was brought by the
trust company as trustee for the Iowa
Telephone company. the complaint al;
leging that the defendants had unlaw,
fully conspired- by means OF boycott
picketing and other means to destroy
the telephone company's business and
praying that an injunction issue re-
straining the defendants from q con-
tinuance of the alleged unlawful acts.
Judge Mcpherson in his decision
does not enter into the merits of the
case at all None OF the evidences Of
the alleged conspiracy in which the
local Trades and Labor assembly and
other labor organizations we're said to
be parties was considered. The court
holds that the action hinges entirely
on the question whether or not the,
plaintiffs in the suit were the proper
plaintiffs to maintain the action.
According to the facts set forth In
the decision the complainant was a
tIuStGc dppOluleu- ulOSI luOl t6dSC
contract to conserve the interests OF
the holders of bonds issued to secure
the mortgage. Its powers do not ex-
tend beyond those of MORTGAGE and
inasmuch as there is no allegation in
the complaint to the effect that the
Iowa Telephone company has refused
to prosecute the suit against the strik-
ers, although requested to do SO, the
trust company is not party in inter-
est, and cannot therefore be plain
tiff. Summing up, Judge Mcpherson
says:
Il therefore conclude that the COM
plainant has not by its bill and the
evidence as the case stands such an
interest, and particularly under the
powers and rights conferred by the
trust deed to enable it to maintain
this action. The restraining order
made by the circuit judge will remain
in force for fifteen days and will then
be regarded as vacated unless within
that time the bill shall be amended
and evidence filed showing right to
t &C maintain the action"

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AND ITS
 ENEMIES,

An eminent lawyer of Baltimore, Mar yland. John Henry Keene, has recently written and published a booklet enti- tied Christian Science and It's Enc miles," in which he condemns the pull pits attacks upon Rev. Mary Baker G.. Eddy and Christian Science.
 A representative of the press called on Mrs. Eddy to enquire as to her endorse ment of this book. In reply she said, Upon reading the grand preface Of MT. Keene's book, I laid it aside from lack of time just thens and sent my compli- ments to the author with an order for said books. After perusing his book thoroughly, changed my opinion, not k of the authors talents, scholarship and high intent (although'I have never seen him), but of the advisability of publish ing the book, and immediately requested the parties to discontinue publishing 1t in it's present form of treating the sub ject. I did this, sorely, because the au- thors vehemence in denouncing the pulpit's furious attacks upon me was not consonant with my Christian senti- ment. It is written of our great Mas ter whose life and teachings furnish my model that When He was reviled He reviled not again."
