N AIRY B. EDDY
HER SON SUES FOR A RECEIVER
FOR ESTATE.
SAYS SHE is DECEIVED
BY Her Advisers Who Are Taking Ad.
vantage Of Her Age for Their
Financial Advantage.

Concord, N. H.-A bill in equity to
secure an accounting Of the financial
affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker-Glover-
Eddy, head of the Christian Science
Church. has been filed in the Superior
Court for Merrimac county, by Mrs.
Eddy's son, George w. Glover of Dead
wood, South Dakota, and his daughter.
Mrs. Mary Baker.Glover, and George
w. Baker of Bangor. Maine, nephew
and next friend of Mrs. Eddy.
The bill is directed against Alfred
Farlow and other trustees Of the Chris
tian Science Church in Boston; Calvin
A. Frye. Mrs. Eddy's secretary; Lewis
o. Strang, her assistant secretary, and
Herman s. Herring, first reader OF the
church in Concord.
Besides demanding an accounting OF
all transactions regarding Mrs. Eddy's
affairs, the bill asks for restitution in
case any wrong-doing appears; for In
junction during the litigation against
interference with her property and
business, and for receiver.
In statement issued tonight by for
mer United States Senator William E.
Chandler, special counsel In the action,
1t is declared Mr.. Glover Is actuated
by no spirit OF disrespect to his mother.
but believes that the proceeding is in
her real interest.
Mr.. Glover says that the action Is
not directed against the religion OF
the Christian Scientists. The state
ment further declares that Mr.. Glover
] had long thought his mother was grow
ing too feeble In body and mind to at
tend to important business matters.
but that for long time he was unable
| to confirm this suspicion because those
about her seemed unwilling to allow
even her nearest relatives to have an
interview long enough to reveal her
actual condition.
Early in January. It is said, Mr..
Glover. during a visit to Concord, was
enabled to have short talk with his
mother, and after due consideration he
decided on the present action as an
imperative duty too long neglected.
Specifically the bill alleges that the
nominal plaintiff. Mrs. Eddy. who sues
''by her next friend" has for n long
time been incompetent to do business
or understand transactions conducted
In her name. The next allegation Is
that the defendants have possessed
themselves Of her personal properly
and have carried on her business.
It is also alleged that. having done
this, knowing Of her infirmity. they
have become trustees for nearly all ol
her property which has come Into her
possession. and are bound to give nc
count thereof and Of all transactions IN
| her name.
1t is declared that there is reason to
| fear that the defendants wrongfuiiy
converted some Of her property ia
their own use. and that there are trans
actions OF which an account should be
| given.

CEMENT UNDER THE BAN.
Claimed That Trust and Union Forbid
lts Use.

Denver.-That an agreement to kill
off the use of concrete In the super
structure of buildings has been formed
between the brick trust and the Ma
tional Bricklayers' Union. is the latest
sensation In building circles. lronclad
rules have been promulgated and some
half dozen Denver contractors who In
Bist upon the extensive use of con-
crete have been refused brick by the
trusts.
The plan is national In scope and
the thumb.screws are being adjusted
throughout the country by trusts, 1t Is
said.
The agreement is practically that
bricklayers have agreed to handle no
more concrete blocks. They refuse to
lay brick on any structure where the
concrete foundation extends above the
ground line. This rule was passed a
week ago by the Denver Bricklayers'
Union. Any contractors violating these
terms are refused brick from the trusts
and union men will not accept work on
their structures.

Colorado Prison Association.

Denver.-Three hundred and fifty
paroled prisoners aided. sixty
three furnished with clothing and
forty-one provided for at the
temporary home. is the record
of the Colorado Prison Association
for the year 1906. In the ninth annual
report, issued yesterday by President
II. v. johnson. a touching epitome OF
the work accomplished by this body is
furnished.
That common sense. not vague and
futile humanitarianism. are the funda'
mental motives OF the association. Is
shown, both by results achieved and
the following statement In the report:
III this association can prevent some
reasonable percentage OF ex-convicts
from lapsing back into the criminal
habits It is evident that this associa'
tion tends not only TO the humanitar'
Ian side. but also to the economical
side OF the state government.
when the convicts are turned out
OF prison, as n rule. they have no place
TO 20, no position In which they can
earn a livelihood and they are ham
pered by the fact that they are gen
orally known and spotted as ex-con-
victs. The result Is that unless they
are looked after for while and as'
sisted In reasonable degree by an as
sociation such as this. they lapse into
their old habits and land In the peni.
tentiary again"
Great credit Is given to tho work OF
General Secretary W. Il. collett. Dur
Ing 1906 he Travelled more than 1900
miles nm raIiroads delivered sixty Ave
public addresses. aided 1bt prisoners
and ex.prisoners personally, giving
clothing TO sixty.,hrce OF these and
keeping forty.onc OF them at his home
for periods varying from n day to n
week. Few Of these have been re-
turned TO prison for violation OF their
paroles or new crimes. He raised So
225. 40 for the work and the association
started the year 1907 with tG3.72 In
the treasury.

NEW FOREST RESERVES.
The President Will Anticipate the Con-
gressionaI Resolutions.

Washington. = President Roosevelt
has checkmated the effort Of combi-
nation Of Republican senators to halt
his policy of preserving the public for
ests and to leave the timber lands at
the mercy Of predatory lumber mo-
nopolies.
The agricultural appropriation act
provides that, except by act Of Con-
gress, no additional forest reserve
shall be created in the six western
states which are richest In timber.
Taking advantage Of the brief period
before that measure will become law
under his signature, President Roose-
welt will promulgate an order sweeping
into reserves more than 10O.OOO,OOO
acres Of forest lands.
Senators who obtained amendment
of the agricultural bill to their own
ends are resting contentedly. unaware
of the move by which the President
has beaten them. Their rude awaken
ing will be followed by the disclosure
by the administration OF the way In
which the forest resources OF the coun-
try have been devastated by lumber
combinations. This is relied upon to
waken public sentiment to an extent
which will approve the Presidents
policy.

Edison and the Airship.

Judging from Mr.. Edison's recent
birthday manifesto his friends should
labor with him earnestly on the sub
ject of arships. To those who have
faith in the unimpaired powers OF the
modern wizard and take no stock In
the notion that he has shot his bolt
as a worker of marvels 1t would ap-
pear that all that is needed to insure
the speedy advent of the long dream
ed OF era OF aerial travel is to con-
vince Mr.. Edison of the utility OF
starting 1t. Mr.. Edison was 60 years
old recently. In the course of some
occasional remarks on his own career
and his plans for the future he Incl
dentally expressed his belief that in
tine we shall have airships sailing
20 feet or so above ground along the
lines of our roads, avoiding conflicts
in the air in this way. IT." added the
inventor musingly, Il could convince
useful, i would have try at it my
self" Mr. Edison, who, We trust, has
not yet struck ~ as an inventor, Ger.
tainly should have a try at it." There
should be no doubt whatever of the
varied utility of the arrival of the
dirigible airship as fashionable and
practical means of pleasure and loco
motion. For instance, suggests the
Milwaukee Sentinel, the advent OF
real airship craze must at once elm.

advantage of the sport, the trade, and
the innocent bystanders) that danger.
Gus class OF scorchers and feather
brains generally. who would eagerly
betake themselves to the new fad as
something particularly novel. exclu-
sive and spectacular. By transfer
ring their breakneck operations from
the public highways to the ambient

peril would be removed. Let Mr..
Edison go ahead. and make some
amends for the musical phonograph.

Aggressive as a panther and agile, Miss May

in the final Of the womens lawn tennis doubles
yesterday. She surpassed ali her previous ef-
forts the court of the ST. Nicholas Rink. 66th
