to organize and build a farmers elevator

farmers only and about fifty of the most
prominent in this part of the county have

cause for such action, they say, is that
the grain business of the town is con-

fed with the prices paid for their grain.

EDICT CREATES

Christian Scientists Claim
Mrs. Eddy's Proclamation
Has Been Misunderstood
CLUBS ARE NOT BARRED
Several Followers of Greed
Act on Own Impulse, but
Did Not Receive Orders

The recent proclamation by Mrs.
Mary Baker C. Eddy, acknowledged
head of the American Christian Sci
ence Church, has created quite a stir
among the followers of Christian Sci
ence throughout the State. Accord
ing to ]. Jacobs, who represents Frank
w. Gale, the edict issued by Mrs. Eddy
has been misunderstood by the general
public and the facts in the case have
not been stated correctly. The follow
ing communication was sent to The
Call yesterday by order of Gale:
San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 8, 1904.
Editor of The Can, San Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sir:-Referring to the article
published in this mornings issue of
your paper, in case there might be a
mistaken impression regarding same l
should like you to publish the follow
ing:
The Christian Science bylaw refer
ring to members of the Christian Sci
ence Church, belonging to clubs or or
ganizations to which both sexes are
not eligible, was promulgated last
May. As published by you, the by
law indicates on its face that it is
not retroactive, but applies to mem
bers of the mother church who may
join thereafter. 1t applies to the
branch churches in the same way.
Hence, there were no orders or
commands" given, which would ap-
ply to members of clubs or organiza-
6riS Goia
members at that time.
1t is true that throughout the coun-
try many Christian Science members,
both ladies and gentlemen, prominent
( in clubs and organizations, have seen
fit to resign their memberships, be-
Heving that what applied to. future
Christian Science members could, with
good reason, be applicable to present
members. These designations, how
ever, were entirely voluntary on their
part, and under no orders" or com
mands." Such action on their part
was, possibly, because they believed
they could best subserve their interests
and that of their families and their
own consciences, and such action was
purely a matter of their own decision,
without interference, commands or or
ders from any one.
Shortly after the adoption of the by
law referred to, Mrs. Eddy issued
card, published in the Christian Sci
ence Journal of June, 1904, reading
as follows:
Take Notice.
Mary b. G. Eddy.
Il beg to inform my beloved mem
bers of the mother church that the
bylaw in article XXVI of its man
ual does not require members Of
benevolent and progressive organiza-
tions, such as the Free Masons, odd
Fellows, temperance societies and
those of similar cult to resign this
membership. 1t specifies in plain Eng
lish that after individuals become
members of our church they shall not
thereafter be made members of clubs
or other organizations not named in
its manual, and wherefore? Because
our religious denomination demands
! the faithful attention and labor of its
members in all philanthropic, ther-
apeutic and progressive Christian work
for the human race. and relies upon
the adequate, scientific source and re-
source therefor"
Trusting you will give this space in
your journal, 1 remain, yours sincerely,
FRANK w. GALE.

January IA, 1898, she persuaded Mon
nier Sr to begin an action in behalf
of the young man to annul the mar
riage. Contrary to the wishes of
George Jr. the case was prosecuted
and on May II, 1898, judgment was
rendered in favor of Violet. He de-
clares that Anna Monnier employed
the attorneys and directed the prose-
cution. She also caused the case to
be appealed to the Supreme Court and
lost it.
Once more, it is said, she threatened
that if he resumed his relations with
his wife she would cause him to be
disinherited. but, pending the appeal,
he went back to Violet and lived with
her until August, 1901.
In order to carry out her threats to
influence the making of the will, Anna
Monnier, it is said, represented to her
husband that George Jr. was not the
father of Violet's child and if he left
any portion of his estate to his son
it would be enjoyed by Violet and her
kindred. Thus the will was made,
leaving Anna Monnier all the fortune.
The young man declares that the
charges against the character of his
wife were false.

Apparently resenting the widows
statements regarding his parentage

testament was made under the undue
influence of Anna Monnier. His ia
ther, he says, at the time of making
the will, in 1901, was 63 years of age
and impaired in body and mind His
wife for years had exercised great in

over him.
George Jr. continues that on March

the marriage the senior Mrs. Monnier

alleged, she importuned the contestant
to leave his wife and by reason OF her
persuasions he remained away from
his wife for two weeks, but returned
later and then accompanied the elder
woman to Europe, leaving his wife
here. While he was absent, on De-
cember Is, 1897, the young wife gave
birth to a child and Monnier charges
that Anna Monnier caused to be pub
lished a notice that the child was
dead and. though knowing that the
babe was still alive, had a copy of the
notice sent to the contestant in Eu-

CORONER INVESTIGATES
A SPURIOUS DOCTOR
j. c. Heath Administers Medicines to
Mrs. Mary kruse and Is Re-
ported to the Police


Coroner Leland detailed Deputy
Coroner Brown yesterday to investi-
gate the conduct of j. c. Heath of
1928 Folsom street, who. prescribed
medicines for three weeks for Mrs.
Mary Kruse Of 321 Montcalm street.
Mrs. Kruse died yesterday morning of
natural causes presumably, but the
case was sent TO the Coroner, because
Heath, not being a physician. could
not and would not sign the death GER
tificate. Deputy Brown secured the bot
ties of medicine bearing labels of va
rious drug stores, which medicines had
been brought to Mrs. Kruse by Heath.
The labels contain directions for talk
ing the medicines, but are not signed,
and do not purport to be prescriptions.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice yesterday. and Detective Thomas
Coleman was detailed on the case, the
object being to ascertain whether
Heath had represented himself to be
a physician. Heath treated Mrs.
Kruse's husband previously for corns
and rheumatism.
Mrs. Kruse was 81 years old and
leaves four children, the youngest 2
years and the oldest Is.
