The clauses providing in certain cases

tack. The Figaros cartoonist depicts the

Former Senator Said to Have Urged

Former Senator Said to Have Urged
Son to Ask for Accounting.
NEW YORK, March 2-Public spirited
citizens powerful and wealthy according
to the World today, are behind the suit
instituted in the courts of New Hampshire
by her son, George w. Glover, and other
relatives, to secure an accounting OF the
financial affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover
Eddy. head Of the Christian Science church.
The movement was systematic one and
was seriously begun on November q last
when a man, who is not named, went to
Lead, 8. D., where George w. Glover, Mrs
Eddy's only son, lived, to see II he could
enlist the son to fght in the mothers be-
half. The missioner had with him two
letters, signed by ex-senator William E.
Chandler, who had become interested in
the movement and had consented to act
as counsel One letter was addressed to
Glover. 1t stated that the ex-senator had
consented to act as legal counsel concern
ing certain questions which had arisen in
CONNECTION with Mrs. Eddy; that 1t was
important. for public and private reasons
and urged that the son should aid in their
solution and settlement.
The other letter, addressed to the mis-
sioner, stated what the questions were that
had arisen and advised that Mrs. Eddy's
son and other relatives should be impressed
with their duty. II these failed to act,
the ex-senator Is quoted as writing, ut
should be done by such right-minded cltl-
Eens as are In sympathy with the COM

and are honestly anxious to know what eff
feet II will have on the amount OF rail-

several localities 1t has just come to light
that one person in Lincoln who. because
OF the position he occupies, should be In
favor OF every pledge In the platform
whether he understands" them OF not,
has at least in one instance knocked on the
taxation OF railroad terminals. This man
was asked by member OF the Legislature
to explain the proposition to him and he
promised to look It up. A few days later
this man reported 20 the member that he
had looked into the matter and he was un-
able to say whether II would be right or
not but" he added, you cannot take
part from the whole and leave the whole"
This member of the legislature expressed
himself as follows. 1T want to carry out
the party platform pledges. I went home
and talked to some OF my people about
the taxation OF railroad terminals. They
told me 10 20 carefully into this matter and
see that It did not affect our present valu-
alton OF railroad property, unless It be to
increase it. / want to feel free to ask
some questions about the bill as introduced

Son Acts Cautiously.

The missioner, 1t is stated, was con-
vinced that he had before him a hard task,
because Glover was known TO be extremely
loyal to his mother and he had been re-
ported as living in affiuence on his South
Dakota home. Part OF this only was true,
1t was stated. He was found 70 be in
tensely loyal to his mother, but he was
found to be poor and had no rich or infiu-
ential friends. When the case was laid
before him, with Mr.. Chambers letter, he
consented to act but made one provision,
illustrating. It is said, his firm intent to
be both wise and just. The plan he pro-
posed was that OF at once seeing his
mother and investigating her mental state
before he finally committed himself to a
move.
Glover and his daughter, Mary, according
TO the story. saw Mrs. Eddy on January 2
last, and whatever doubts Glover may
have had as TO his duty weie removed. II

The tax on income from investment will

The tax on incomes from Industries and

expenses have been deducted from the

The amount payable is decided annually
by the comptroller Of direct taxes. assisted
by a special committee composed of the
mayor, the TAX collector and four mem

The taxpayer must supply the comptroller
with all information that he needs to know
the material conditions under which the
industry is being carried on.
The comptroller with OF without the
members OF the committee, has a right to
visit the industry during working hours.
The comptroller will assess the tax, and IL
the taxpayer objects TO the amount he
must produce his books before the com
mittee. This Is one Of the clauses that has
given rise TO the outcry Of "inquisition'
and the fear that the councils politics will
influence the councils decisions.
