Policeman Suspended Last January When
He Threatened Her-Hereditary In
sanity Affects Claims.

Efforts are being made by Mrs.
O'Laughlin, wife of Patrolman John
O'Laughlin, of the Third Precinct Sta
ton, who is now in an insane asylum,
to obtain money from the city for her
support. She has employed Attorney
Edward Kenney to look after her in
~terests, and he called at the office of
the secretary of the police commission
and asked If there was any way by
which the woman could obtain a liv-
ing, as her husband is in an asylum
and has been there since last January.
Though the commissioners have tried
to do all in their power to aid the
woman n O'Laughlin, an investiga-
ton by Police Surgeon Clark was such
as to prevent the city paying the
woman, or even putting O'Laughlin
on the pension list.
O'Laughlin was suspended last jan
uary upon the request of DR.. Clark.
O'Laughlin had gone suddenly insane
while on duty and had threatened his
wife. The attention of the commits
sion was called to his actions, and
the commissioners understood that he
was injured while on duty, and on
accoun he was entitled to more

DR.. Clark made a thorough examina-

OLaughlin's insanity is hereditary, his
father having died in ar insane asylum
and his brother having committed
suicide while insane.
O'Laughlin had been on the force
for about eight years. In November,
1902, O'Laughlin was injured in a crush
of trolley ars at Ferry and Market
streets. After the accident he showed
indications of insanity. He was given
a short leave of absence and returned
in three weeks time apparently well.
In January he again showed signs of
insanity.
DIR. Clark's report was to the effect
that O'Laughlin's head was not in
jured in any way in the trolley crash.
but that his shoulders and arms alone
were injured. Under this report 1t is
not likely hat the commissioners will
place O'Laughlin on the pension list.

BARS FOUR SALOONS
TOO NEAR CHURCHES OR
SCHOOLS.
Excise Board Won't Grant Licenses for
Observation-Disclosures
for Priest.

The Excise Board decided at its
meeting yesterday afternoon not to re-
ceive any more applications for licenses
or transfer any licenses for saloons in
the vicinity of churches or schools.
and in consequence of that decision
rejected three applications for that rea-
son and another for various objections
not made public.
One application rejected was made for a
saloon at 575 North Sixth street by Valen-
tine Berrett. The granting of that appii-
cation was opposed last week by the Rev.
d. +. McCartie, pastor of st. Michaels
Church, In Belleyille avenue, on the
ground that there were already enough
saloons In that locality, also because the
saloon. IL allowed, would be within 200 feet
of st. Francis Xavier's Church, In North
Seventh street, of which Father McCart
is also pastor.
Fanny Wolfson's application for n saloon
at 1923 Sherman avenue was rejected be-
cause II was too near the Miller Street
School.
Immediately after that license had been
disposed of Rudolph Brown, counsel FOR
the protestants, asked that his clients be
heard on the matter, as he claimed they
could give sufficient reasons to the board
against granting the license, and he be-
lleved that in all fairness they should be
given a hearing.
Agnes Lehman's application for a saloon
license at 223 Sherman avenue was re-
iected because of the close proximity OF
the Elizabeth Avenue School.
william Colber's application for a license
for a saloon at "a Lafayette street was
thrown down for various reasons" one
Of the commissioners said.
The application OF Adam Crater for n
renewal of his license at SO Holland street,
which was laid on the table at the last
meeting because Of objections by some of
the residents in the vicinity, who called
II a noisy place, was granted. Commits
sioner Smith said he had no desire to pre-
vent anyone being heard on the subject.
and offered a motion that the motion
granting the license be reeonsidered. Com
missioner Otto seconded II.
When the vote was taken Commissioners
Smith and Otto voted AYE" and Commits
motion was declared lost by President
Nieder. so the license stands granted.
Commissioners Miller then moved that
the board adjourn to meet August %,
which motion was carried.
After the meeting Commissioner Smith,
Miller aud Otto said that they had investi-
gated the complaints against Crater's
license. and had found that the alleged dis
turbance was due to several German sing
ing societies using the hail attached to the
saloon several lines a month, and nothing
else. They maintained that those objec-
tons were not sufficient to reject the APP
plication.

EXAMINE MRS. EDDY
MASTERS CALL ON HER AT
HER HOME.
Gives Her Views on Life Insurance and
Tells How She Evolved Christian
Science Out of Homeopathy.

CONCORD, N. H., Aug. 15.-Mrs,
Mary Baker Glover Eddy, head of the
Christian Science Church, underwent a
mental examination late yesterday by
the masters, who had been appointed
to determine her competency in bust
ness matters. 1t was the suit brought
by Mrs. Eddy's next friends for an
accounting of her property.
The examination was made at Mrs.
Eddy's home, Pleasant View, in this
city, by Judge Aldrich, DIR. Jolly, and
Attorney Park, one of the masters.
The only other persons present were
General Frank S. Streeter, Mrs. Eddy's
counsel in the case; William e. Chand-
Ter, counsel for the next friends" and
a court stenographer.
Mrs. Eddy received her visitors in
her private sitting room and by ar
rangement with her counsel she an
swered a series of questions asked of
her by the three masters, who took
turns in examining her upon various
points.

by assuring Mrs. Eddy of his inten-
ton to make the call as agreeable as
possible to her. Mrs. Eddy thanked
him, aiding:
my only difficulty is a slight deaf
ness. l can see to read common plea,
but l can't hear distinctly without
some difficulty"
Judge Aldrich asked Mrs. Eddy If
she felt fatigued to speak of 1t at once.
She said:
II can work hours at my work day
and night without fatigue when II Is
in this line of thought, but when L go
to world lines l am sometimes fatigued
by it, and yet these things are indis-
pensable, and I regard them as sa-
cred"
Judge Aldrich, saying that he had
some life insurance coming due, asekd
Mrs. Eddy's advice as to how to in
vest the proceeds. Not understanding
him at first, Mrs. Eddy replied that
she put no money into life insurance.
God insures my life" she said.
Then thinking that Judge Aldrich
desired information as to her own in
vestment, she described the trusteeship
created by her in March, saying that 1t
was entirely her own idea.
In reply TO questions by DR.. Jolly Mrs.
Eddy started to describe the develop
ment of Christian Science. She said
that she was an invalid from child
hood and that she became interested in
treating herself. She studied homeo-
pathy and from the most diluted of
the medicines used by homeopathists
she proceeded to pellets containing
no medicine. and used them success
fully in the treatment of cases of dis
eases. Then she said to her patients:
Now, you don't need any medicine.
You can go without it,
This was her discovery Of tho science
of mind.
Mrs. Eddy was going to speak of her
investigation into s%piritualism when
the masters withdrew from the room,
explaining that they thought she was
growing weary. Returning, after a
brief interval, they heard Mrs. Eddy
describe, in answers to questions from
Attorney Parker, her method of life.
She said that she wrote or dictated
all letters pertaining to her business,
but later qualified that with the re-
