George W. Glover of Deadwood. S.
Oak, son of Mrs. Eddy: his daugh-
ter and Mrs. Eddy's nephew. George
w. Baker of Bangor. Me. The suit is
directed against Calvin A Frye. Mrs.
Eddy's confidential secretary; Lewis
Strang. another secretary in her
household at Concord. N. H.; the trus-
tees of the mother church in Boston.
the officers OF the Christian Science
Publishing Society and other ofncials
who conduct the various business in
terests of the mother church. An ac-
counting is demanded of all the funds
held by Mrs. Eddy and accruing to
her from the Christian Science church
and societies. and an attachment was
issued to prevent the transfer of any
of the property.
Glover alleges in his bill that. Mrs
Eddy's mental faculties are badly
impaired. and that she IS incapable of
undertaking any business matters. He
alleges that he was prevented for a
long time from seeing her. but that
he. finally did manage to see her dur
ing the latter part of January At
that meeting he became satisfied that
If she was not actually insane she was
in such mental condition that she was
utterly incapable OF managing her own
affairs
There is no doubt that the pres
ent action is the beginning of a long
looked for contest over the enormous
property interests held by Mrs Eddy
in her name and By the Christian
Science church. The suit undoubtedly
will be bitterly fought as the Lead
ers OF the church have been prepar-
ing for lsnx perhaps for
years-for s,lch contest.
