the plain recommendation by it to
the state legislature today. The rail-

1t is not true that Germany has re-

disarmament
Continuing, Tittoni intimated that
Italy might exercise a sort of media

standing between Great Britain aad
Germany regarding disarmament.

CONFESSION BY FRIENDS OF
MRS. EDDY.
STILL DEMAND RECEIVER
Suit of Son to Be Maintained Regard
less of Recent Appointment of
Board of Trustees-Mrs. Baker
Makes Statement From the Moth
er Church.

Concord, N. H., April 4.-Counsel
for the plaintiffs in the Eddy case, in
a statement yesterday, said that it
appeared to them that Mr.. Streeter,
personal counsel for Mrs. Eddy, and
those who have charge Of her, have,
after mature deliberation, arrived at
the same conclusion as to the inca
pacity of Mrs. Eddy to manage her
business affairs that her son came to
when he saw her in January last.
Now that the imperative need OF
this reform is conceded, counsel said.
a remaining question would seem to
be whether the interests of Mrs Eddy
would be best cared for ana protected
by g receiver appointed by the court
or by trustees appointed by and act
ing practically as a continuation of
the old regime.
This suit, plaintiffs counsel de-
clared, is not directed at Mrs. Eddy
Or at Christian Science.
Statement by Mrs. Eddy
In a communication read last night
at the First Church of Christ, Scien-
fist, the mother church of that de-
nomination, Mrs Mary Baker G. EDDY
says:
'The wise man has said When
was a child | spake as child, un-
.dersCood as a child, l thought as a
child but when | became man, Put
away childish things That this
passage of scripture and it's conclud-
ing declaration may be applied to old
age, is a solace.
Perhaps you already know 1 have
heretofore personally attended To my
secular affairs, to my income, depos-
it's, investments, expenditures, and TO
my employees; but increasing demands
upon my time and labor, and my
yearning for more peace in my adj
vancing years, have caused me to Sc
lect a board of trustees to take
charge of my property; namely, Henry
NJ Baker, Archibald Mcclellan and
Josiah E. Fernald."
