SCIENTIST FAvoRs VACCINATION
Mrs. Eddy Says the Laws Should be
Obeyed,

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 4-The open
warfare between Christian Scientists
and the board of health over the ques-
ton of compulsory vaccination Of
school children was settled yesterday
when word was received from Mrs.
Eddy of Boston saying that it was con-
trary to the principles of her church
to object to the enforcement of laws.
Some time ago the board of health
issued compulsory vaccination order
to apply to all school children. Local
Christian Scientists demurred, con-
tending that vaccination as well as the
use of medicines was against their
doctrine Both sides were firm and it
looked as If the children of the Scien-
fists would be barred from the public
schools until Mrs. Eddy, to whom the
matter had been referred, ordered her
followers to submit to vaccination.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 4. - Pat Grove
who has been arrested in Butte by de-
tectives after having been about the
city for a week, introducing himself to
various persons, last night, declared
that the kidnapping" of Eddie Cudahy
and subsequent demand on his faith
er for a ransom was suggested by the
boy himself. Here are the facts. ac-
cording to his story:
On September 6, 1900 he met young
Cudahy on the street, and the boy first
broached the subject of working the
old man for a big ransom At first
Grove paid no attention to the propo-
sition, but it was repeated later with
in with the boy.
Cut Boys Figures In Two.
"A third party was taken in, but he
"got cold feet believing the scheme
was a trap. The Cudahy boy propos
ed demanding $4,000 from his faith
er, but Grove and the second party
he took into the scheme thought $25,
900 was enough.
The story Of Grove as to how the
kidnapping was worked, and how
Cudahy drove out to lonesome place
and left money, agrees with the first
published accounts Of the affair, but
he says young Cudahy was the leading
spirit of the adventure and was never
a prisoner.
The three divided the $25 5000, young
Cudahy being given $4,000 as his
ia toll FRO, &c
hiding place and left a few blocks
from the Cudahy house.
Incidentally Grove gives story Of
his life and says he was a prosperous
butcher in South Omaha when the
elder Cudahy came there, built 6
packing house, and drove him out Of
business After that he went to work
for Cudahy and thus became acquaint
ed with the family.

doubt that Mr.. Hyde would voluntarily
respond to request to testify, 1t is
