KILL BILL AIMED
AT PRACTITIONERS
Christian Scientists Win Sig
nal Victory in Missouri.
Protest OF 10000 Persons Against
Measure 20 Make Practice of
Scientists Illegal.
1T LIFTS THE BAN ON HEALING

jefferson City. Mo-, March H.
Christian Scientists of Missouri
gained a signal victory here when
the senate judiciary committee
agreed to the following amendments
10 the senate bill No. SO, which
sought to restrict the practice OF
divine healing In the state:
Provisions OF this chapter not to
apply to persons who merely practice
religious tenets of their church with
ont pretending knowledge of medi-
cine or surgery, provided, that quar-
antine regulations relating to conta-
gious or infectious diseases are not
infringed upon
The bin was fathered by Senator
Alice, the only physician member Of
the senate. and he had openly de-
clared his intention OF using its pass
age to the end that Christian Scien-
lists might be prevented from prac-
t.cing healing.
Fifty Thousand Protest
Last week the petition signed by
nearly $4,000 persons protesting
against the passage of the measure
was presented to the legislature and
last night delegations of prominent
Scientists in all parts of the state
went before the judiciary committee
and pleaded that the bill be killed or
amended.
The fight for the church people
was led by ex-State Senator Benja-
min Thomas. of Carthage, assisted
by John S. Wheeler AMI r. s. Bogie,
OF Kansas City. The two latter men
have for two months been working
up a campaign against the bill.
The results of the amendment, II
finally enacted into law. will prove a
long step toward giving Christian
Scientists definite legislative recogni-
tion.

Gravel Contract.

The contract fo- the furnishing Of
the city gravel will expire April l a..
and in the meanwhile the members
will hustle about and secure bids.
Mr. Katterjohn reported that he haa
visited Jackson, Tenn. and inspected
the gravel streets there. They were
the finest he had ever seen. Gravel
from Illinois is used on the streets
there. Paducah gravel was con
demned at the meeting as containing
too much clay. Letters will be writ
ten TO gravel dealers out of the city
in an effort to have gravel shipped
into Paducah cheaply. The gravel
secured from Paducah pits has never
given satisfaction.
Mr.. Katterjohn reported that the
oil or asphaltine should not be placed
on the streets. as he has visited cite,
where It has been used once, and he
said numerous protests were made
.:;: s.inst It, He stated that the women
were up in arms against its use, as It
would soil dresses Of almost every
woman crossing the street, and aside
from this the oil would be carried
into homes from the streets. The
board did not take any action, but 1t
is doubtful if the oil will be tried on
the Paducah streets, because of the
bad effects.
DR.. Frank Boyd was given permis-
sion TO erect a driveway across the
