Expected to Be Forgiven
as Part of Compromise

NEW YORK, November 19.-When Mrs.
Stetson left Boston Wednesday evening
at the close of her three-day hearing she
believed implicitly, it is said. that her
judges would pardon her errors and re-
instate her with added powers.
Not until the verdict was rendered did
Mrs. Stetson realize her mistake.
A prominent member of the Christian
Science Church. so close to the inner
circle Of control that his words have the
force Of authority. gave the facts.
stipulating only that his name be with
held, at least for the present.
Friday of last week. when Mrs. .Stet-
son and her trustees. ripe for revolt, were
planning to GUST Virgil .. Stricken from
the first leadership of the New York
New York from Boston. He represented
the mother church directors, and his mis-
sion was to confer with Mrs. Stetson.
This emissary holds a prominent office
in the Christian Science publication bu-
reau and is rated as one of the shrewd-
est lieutenants of Archibald Mcclellan.
He had with him Mrs. Eddy's letter. des-
tined three days later to purge Mrs.
Stetson's church of the spirit Of revolt.
The secret message he bore to Mrs.
Stetson was substantially this:
"In a war between US there can be only
one result-disaster to both sides and de-
struction to the church. Let us COM
promise"
Agrees to Meet Directors.
Mrs. Stetson summoned her advisers to
a conference the next day. 1t was de-
cided to accept the overtures of the Bos-
ton leaders.
1t was agreed that the Eddy letter
should be read at the members meeting
Monday, that there might be a united ex-
preston of love and loyalty toward Mrs.
Eddy.
With this arranged Mrs. Stetson hur-
ried to Boston, ostensibly to face hostile
Judges in the mother church; in reality
as she imagined-to meet the require
ments of a program devised to conceal
the working out OF a secret compromise
agreement
faithfully playing the game" Tuesday
night when from her rooms at the Hotel
TOuraine she issued her public admission
of error and humble submission to church
authority. This was done, as she thought;
to make 1t easier for her judges to find
the embarrassing verdict agreed upon.
In Power of Her Enemies.
But with the issuing of that public
confession Mrs. Stetson placed herself
completely in the power of her enemies.
She had permitted her church to pledge
obedience to the Boston managers, and
had been tricked into an open admission
of the justice of whatever punishment
the mother church might infiict upon
her. But Mrs. Stetson probably did not
realize this until judgment was pro-
nounced.
Mrs. Stetson had been treated with
marked consideration by the mother
church directors throughout the hearing
at Boston; her judges had listened with
every outward indication of interest and
sympathy to all her explanations and
excuses.
Apparently these five directors Of the
mother church had charitably overlooked
the fact that they. individually, had been
treated with the death thought" by
Mrs. Stetson, according to the convict
ing evidence.
Parted From Them With a Smile.
Mrs. Stetson was smiling when she left
the directors Wednesday; still smiling.

SOMETHING OF POLITICS

AN iNTIMATIoN BY AN INDIANA
JUDGE.
He Had, However, No Opinion As to
Merits of the Case.

Indianapolis, Oct. 11.-That the So
called Panama libel case" was more
or less of political nature, was the
comment of Judge A. b. Anderson of
the United States district court at
the close of argument today in the
case of Charles r. Williams and Dele
van Smith. proprietors of the Indian
apolis News, whom the government is
seeking to remove to the court of the
District of Columbia for trial on a
charge of criminal libel,
Judge Anderson said he did not wish
to give the impression that he had
formed an opinion as to the merits
of the case, but he wished to indicate
the trend of argument toward the
courts further enlightment as to the
probable reason for the indictment of
Williams and Smith by the federal
grand jury of the District of Column
bia for criminal libel. The basis of
the action is published articles, inti-
mating that there was a graft of s2s,-
100000 in the sale of the Panama ca
nal zone to the United States by the
French company.

A SAILOR ACCEPTED =
JOHNsON's INVITATION
"GUN6oAT" SMITH LAID THE
CHAMPION Low.
An Unexpected Event at the Negroes
Training Quarters.

San Francisco, Oct. 11.-Responding
to Champion Jack Johnson's offer to
meet all comers in lies OF. his usual
sparring partners, "Gunboat' Smith. a
seaman from one of the United States
cruisers anchored in this harbor. ap-
peared yesterday at the champions
training quarters and scored a clean
knock down in his four-round bout
with the big negro. Coming out>of a
clinch in the last round, the sailor
swung a right overland chop, which
took johnson flush on the chin. The
champion went down flat on his back.
and when he recovered his feet, he was
SO dazed that his manager cut the
round short.
Smith mixed things with the cham
pion from the start, and he soon dem
onstrated that he could reach him
with the overland chop which finally
laid Johnson low. The 500 spectators
who had gathered to see the champion
train were highly excited by the un-
expected outcome of the bout, and
cheered Smith vociferously.
Another unexpected feature in to-
days developments of the champion
ship match was the meeting of the
two principals. Johnson had halted to
fix a puncthred tire, when Ketchel.
passing in another machine. stopped
and the two engaged in several min
utes of good-natured chatting.
