Mr. Lord Fairfax May Drop the Mister
Other vOyAkers by the AGlriatic.
Albert Kirby Fairfax. who may il he likes
take the title Lord Fairfax. twelfth baron
of Cameron, arrived yesterday aboard the
White Star liner Adriatic apparently some
what undecided what he was going to do
with the title and the privileges that go
with il.
He was bit evasive when he was asked
IL he were going TO assume the title and
make himself a subject OF King Edward.
The impression that he gave his interviewers
is that he will do so. He consented to say
that he had not taken his seat in the House
of Lords yet and that he was still a resident
of Great Britain and a citizen OF the United
States.
Mr. Fairfax. as he at present designates
himself, is here merely on a visit not OF a
business nature He is going down TO
Maryland 60 see his mother and later will
return 20 London. where he has been repre-
ssnting tho Arm OF William P. BOnbright

Sues MRS. STETSON AVID TOLER.
Action for SAOO. 600 Damages Growing

Action for SaOO. 600 Damages Growing
Out OF tine Claims OT the s'Nsrlom Heirs"
A complaint has been served on Mrs.
Augusta z. Stetson. first reader in the First
Church Of Christ, Scientist. and Henry
Pennington TOler. alsO Christian Scientist,
in a suit brought by Mrs. Laura e. Skeels
20 recover damages Of 100000 and certain
papers which the plaintiff charges are being
unIawfulIy kept from her
The suit grows out OF Toler's attempt
several years ago to organize the descend
ants of the original patentees OF freehOlders
OF New Harlem TOlsr held a meeting
in the Harlem Casino which was attended
by about 2.5OO OF these supposed descend
ants. The purpose Of the movement was
to take some action looking toward the
restoration OF a large chunk of Harlem to
the descendants.
The plaintiff in the present action alleges
that Mrs. StetsOn was Interested in that
movement. She AYERS that she entered
into an agreement with both Mrs. Stetson
and TOler by which she was TO turn over to
them all the papers and documentary
evidence which she had collected tending
TO establish her claim TO a piece of New
Harlem.
says IudJ Nnc
agreed on her part to sign a quit claim
deed 10 any right that she might have to
the land on which the First Church Of
Christ il built. In return. she alleges. she
was to get $4,000. which is the amount
she says she had expended in working up
the evidence of her right TO the property.
This s25,OOO was 10 have been used by her
IN prosecuting her claim and she was, ac-
cOrding to the alleged agreement. to have
paid over to tho ChristiaR Science Church
rs per cent Of oil the profits when she got
the land
The plaintiff alleges thai although. she
turned over the papers according to the
agreement. Mrs. Stetson and TOler paid
her only $1,000. She alleges further that
they insisted on her relinquishing all rights
under the agreement and that they urged
her to give all the property to God. Mrs.
Skeels refused and demanded her papers
back.
She alleges that Mrs. Stetson and TOler
refuse to give them up. She charges them
with conspiracy to defraud and asks. be-
sides the slO0. 900 damages. to have a referee
appointed to see that the papers are still
intact. Mrs Skeel's lawyers are Warner.
johnson Il Galston.
V. o. Strickler. the official head of the
Christian Science committee on publica-
ton. said last night;
so far as Mrs. Stetson is concerned the
action seems TO be malicious Evidently
it is merely a continuation Of the attack
on Christian Science which was begun more
than a year ago and is on a par with the
lawsuit begun in the early part Of this year
against Mrs Eddy. The scurrilous nature
of the allegations in the complaint is all
that is necessary to show the real purpose
Of the lawsuit.
Mrs. StetsOn never at any time had in
her possession any papers belonging to
Mrs. Skeels and consequently never with
held them from her; neither was there
ever any agreement of any kind or character
between Mrs. Stetson and Mrs. Skeels,
and IL is difficult to understand why such an
allegation should be made"

BCRB.ANK'S LATEST
Lear ~ ThOrnlesS Cactus ON Exhibition In
the National Museum.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-The United States
National Museum has placed on exhibition
a specimen leaf" Of a thorRless cactus
developed by Luther Burbank Of Cali
fOrnia. The perfecting Of a cactus without
thOrns means a valuable forage plant which
will grow as well in arid as in moist regions.
The hattened stem of this novel growth
often enormously called leaf" is in some
Of the best specimens nearly three feet
long, a foot wide and three inches thick
and lbs surface 10 very similar 20 that Of =
watermelon.
According to the theory Of Mr.. Burbank
this species of cactus at one time lacked
thOrns but nature in developing the plant
provided spines as protection from brows-
ing animals Of the plains. The task OF
turning backward this course Of nature
seems TO have been accomplished.
