STETSONITE AND ANTI
Balm of Gilead Not Altogether
EfeCtiUe.

Though the harmony meeting Of Mon
day was supposed eftectualy and finally 70
have cleared the air in Christian Science
circles centring about the First Church OF
this city. expressions from Stetsonites and
their opponents yesterday were continued
much as they have been for the last few
months The one question of great interest
to the First Church members was the prob
able outcome Of the current proceeding In
Boston, where Mrs Stetson is now facing
the board of directors of the Mother
Church.
Friends Of the former leader of the local
church declared with conviction that to
carry out the spirit Of harmony and good
will expressed in MIS-. Eddy's letter, which
decided the fate of the charges against
First Reader Strickler, the directors would
pardon Mrs. Stetson. and even repeal the
sentence Of suspension which they recent
ly pronounced against her.
The anti-Stetsonites. on the other hand.
while admitting the possibility Of such
leniency. believe that it will come only
IL Mrs. Stetson acknowledges her pre-
vious guilt and gives guarantee that she
will cease such active leadership as she
has been accustomed TO WELD In the First
Church. Some declared that Mrs Stetson's
fOrCe1ul Will COulO not pc SuDuNcu uS tiv

munication. and these also think that even
n she promised less activity and less domi-
nation, II allowed to return she would be
unable to hold herself aloof from the con-

When Chairman Hatfield of the board of
trustees was asked as TO the nature Of
the Boston summons 10 Mrs. Stetson.
which was powerful enough 10 call her
away when local crisis was at hand. he
said that he had not seen the summons.
The summons was imperative" he said.
"and the case before the meeting on Mon
day was not her case. anyway. Her case
was decided by the previous meeting"
Another member of the church. an anti
stetsonite. In commenting upon this feature
of the case. said.
ITO desert the fight at the crucial time
was either the result of overconfidence in
the strength OF her adherents or the re-
suit of fear that her very existence in the
Church was threatened by the Boston trial.

PUT UP TO MR.. TAFT
ACTION DEMANDED BY
PINCHOT.
Says President Mast Choose
Bet1Ceen Forester and
Secretary.
rFronn Th- rrihun. Pnresu.l

Washington. Nov 16.-It is positively
asserted by a friend of Clifford Pinchot,
the Chief Forester. that Mr.. Pinchot has
addressed TO the President a letter de-
manding that the Executive take some
decisive action i'm the so-called Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy. and telling Mr..
Taft that the time has come when he
must choose between the Chief Forester
and the Secretary of the Interior. 1t is
asserted that Mr.. Pinchot's communi-
cation is far from diplomatic in tone.
that il presents the issue squarely. how
ever, and makes an explicit demand on
the President TO abandon his ''untenable
neutral position" and come out squarely
for one or other of the parties to the
controversy
The Tribune's informant says that the
tone of Mr.. Pinchot's communication is
decidedly peremptory. and Acknowledges
his own fear that the President may
deem it necessary. on purely disciplinary
grounds. TO dispense with Mr.. Pinchots
services. On the other hand. the same
authority confidently predicts that if this
action is taken by the President It will
be followed at no distant date by the
retirement of the Secretary of the In
terror.
From other and authoritative sources
II is learned that the President. wholly
irrespective Of his views of the part
played by Mr.. Pinchot in this affair. re-
CARDS the course of Secretary BaIinger
as absolutely correct. is satisfied from a
most careful examination of the records
that there is nothing i'm Mr.. Ballinger's
administration of his department to
merit either censure or criticism, and
purposes TO stand by the Secretary no
matter how bitter a warfare may he
waged against him
II is reported that one Of the officials
connected with the Forest Service of
New York State is an active candidate
for the place of federal chief forester. al
though the rumor cannot he confirmed

ing the communication Mr.. Pinchot is
alleged 10 have addressed TO the Presi-
