MRS. EDDY MUST
APPEAR IN COURT
Judge Summons Her and Other
Christian Science Defend
ants for April Is.

Concord, N. H, April 8.-That the
move made by the defense in the Mary
Baker Eddy case was a surprise is put
ting it mildly. 1t is now clearly APP
parent that United States Senator Viii
liam E. Chandler and his associates,
John w. Kelley, of Portsmouth; Nath-
aniel E. Martin and Dewitt C. Howe, of
Concord, made a serious blunder when
they failed to apply to the court for
an Injunction restraining Mrs. Eddy or
any of the defendants named in the ac-
ton brought in her name from trans
ferring or in any way disposing of her
property. They apparently relied on
Mrs. Eddy's counsel going to court
and asking them that the suit be dis
missed. Apparently they never con-
templated such a step as the present
one.
In the deed of trust Mrs. Eddy makes
reference to her death and to her will
in the following words:
Said trustees shall pay me from
time to time out of tn enet income of
said property, (1) such sums as l may
need or desire for the purpose of keep
ing up the homestead, Pleasant View
and paying the expenses thereof, and
Of my household, in the same general
way as heretofore: (2) such sums as
may desire for my WI personal ex-
penses and for charitable purposes; and
go such sums as / may desire per-
sonally to use for the advancement Of
the cause and doctrine of Christian
Science as taught by me.
"At the termination Of my earthly
life. his trust shall terminate. and all
the personal estate then held by my
trustees shall pass to the executor Of
my last will and he codicils thereto,
to be disposed of in accordance with
the provisions thereof"
H y 81, n~1o m nrfn1 hill " n~,s%, 4~11-l
forth by the announcement that the
property Of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy
has been transferred to three trustees,
was filed in the county court today by
the original plaintiffs or next friends
in the suit for an accounting of Mrs.
Eddy's property.
The bill filed today is an answer of
the plaintiffs to the motion by the de-
PENDANTS last Tuesday that the three
trustees, Archibald Mcclellan, Henry
NJ, Baker and Josiah E. Fernald, be
substituted for next friends and be
empowered to prosecute suits against
the defendants in the case. They are
all prominent members Of the Chris
tian Science church. The answer, which
is in the form of a supplemental petit
ton. asks that the three trustees be
added to the list Of defendants on the
ground that the trustees are working
for the same ends as the original de-
PENDANTS. that is, they are undnly in
huencing Mrs. Eddy and managing her
property to their own purposes.
Judge Chamberlain issued an order
that all defendants, including the orig
tnal defendants and the three trustees,
shall appear in court April 15 to make
answer to the petition filed today.
The supplemental bill also asks that
the deed of trust be vacated on the
ground that Mrs. Eddy was not COM
petent to exercise it and 1t is a deyice
contrived by the defendants to de-
feat the original suit.

VIII the tsetse fly invade India" This
is the question that is just now exer-
cising the minds of certain of the rulers
of that country. The general opinion
seems to be hat the danger is as yet
fairly remote, although each year
brings il nearer. But all authorities are
agreed that if the pest ever does make
its appearance there the results will be
terrible. For ii is now established that
the bite of the tsetse is the cause of
sleeping sickness, one of the few dis
eases for which there is absolutely no
known remedy. and of which there
have died within the last few years in
the Uganda pr~otectorate alone more
tina 40, 600 people.

FORGERY IS CHARGED

Defeat Dakota Divorce
Reforms.

Name of Prominent Lawyer Attached
to Petition for Referendum With
on Authority-M after Sure to

Sioux Falls, s. D., April 10.-By
charging that forgery is being resorted
to in the preparation of the petition to
invoke the referendum on the new di-
vorce law in this state. Bishop w. II.
Hare, of the Episcopal church, has
sprung a genuine sensation.
Not only is the accusation of fraud
| made, but the assertion that proSecu-
ton of the forgers will result If their
identity can possibly be established.

reforms from taking effect Will de-
velop into an Every

being watched with a view to giving
them wide publicity together with the
publication of the names, addresses n
occupations of those who end their
names and influence to defeating the
immediate operation of the one-year
residence law ;,
Has Evidence of Forgery.
Bishop Hare today sent the follow
Ing notice to the local newspapers
which are not aiding his cause with
any cordiality:
1T may save future trouble if you
allow me through our columns to give
notice that l know, on authority, that
at least one name, and hat the name
of a prominent lawyer, has been at
tached to h petition for the refer
endum without authority. and that 1t is
proposed to expose UGH forgery by OBJ
tanning, and circulating. Photographic
copies Of petitions suspected of con-
tanning forgeries, and also to prosecute
forgers, II by their hand writing or
otherwise they can be discovered.
(Signed) w. H. Hare. on behalf of the
committee"
VIII Be Campaign Issue.
The referendum fight is getting in
tense. Those advocating the delay in
putting the law into effect say they
are having no difficulty in get
ting signers to the petition. They
u secure 5000 anne and file them
with the secretary of state. If the
charge made by Bishop Hare is true,
and the name-getters are resorting to
forgery, their claim hat they are get
ting all the signers they want, appears
to be pure optimism.
There is every prospect that the
matter will get into politics and in
future wnen IN prefermenG is asked
by those who have signed the refer
endum petition, they are bound to nave
flashed upon them the printed pam
phlets containing their names as pc
titioners OF what Bishop Hare desig-
mates h roll of dishonor' and they
will have to defend their attitude and
their morals.
The committee at the head of which
is Bishop Hare, is receiving most en-
couraging supper from Throughout
