BILLS wANTAG0NIzED
CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS OPPOSE
MEASURES TO PREVENT THEM
FROM TREATING SICK.
PETITIONS SIGNED BY $1,000
Plan Is to Enioin and Fine All Who
Practice Without License From
State Board of Health
Physicians Favor 1t.

Jefferson City.-Christian Scientists
are much worked up over two
bills introduced in the senate by
Senator Alice Of Miller that confer
such additional powers on the state
board of health as would enable that
body to prevent Christian Scientists
from healing the sick according to
their own methods.
These bills are known as Nos. 1872
and 333, and both concern the prac-
tiee of medicine. One section of No.
332 reads:
Whenever it shall appear that any
person who is not a registered physi-
clan within the meaning of the laws
in force in this state at such time is
practicing medicine or surgery in any
of its departments or is protesting to
cure, or attempting to treat the sick
and others afflicted with bodily or
mental infirmities, the state board of
health may bring an action in the cir
cult court of the county in which such
person lives, or in which such acts,
or any of them, were committed, to
enjoin such person from doing or per-
forming any or all of said acts"
There is a provision in bill No. 333
which makes it a misdemeanor to
practice medicine and surgery, or to
profess to "cure or treat the sick" ETC.,
without a license from the state board
of health. This is where the board ex-
poets to catch the Christian Scientists
who profess to treat the sick.
They could not obtain a license from
the state board of health, even if they
applied for it, and if they undertook
to treat the sick without a license,
they would be guilty of a misdemeanor
under these laws, and, upon convic-
ton, be fined not less than $50 for
each o~ffense, with a range to the court
of imposing a fine of $500 and one
years Imprisonment in jail.
1t will be observed that in bill No.
332 the board would have power to
SllJOll buGpS hColClo ., anu III Jill ANO'
1893 heavy penalties could be imposed
upon them. In other words, these
measures, should they become laws,
would force the Christian Scientists
to cease treLting the sick and afflicted.
The author of these bills is himself
a physician, and until recently was
president Of the State Medical asso-
citation. 1t is the understanding that
the bills have the sanction of the state
board OF health and a good many of
the medical societis, for they all diff
fer from the Christian Scientists as
to the proper method of caring for the
sick and afflicted.
Three protesting petitions against
these bills were presented from the
Christian Scientists and their friends,
and contain $1,000 names. One OF
these, presented by Senator Methudy
Of ST. Louis, contains 2,700 sigma
lures; another, from Jackson county,
| presented by Senator Green, contains
21,000 names, and is $50 feet in length,
and a third, from st. Joseph, presented
by Senator Dowell, contains 1880 sig.
natures.

Attaok ouarry Head,s Home.

Carthage-Following the discharge
Of a dozen union men from his quarry,
a bullet was fired through the window
of the home of R. NJ. Richter. presi-
dent of the Carthage Superior Lime
stone company. Mrs. Richter narrow
ly escaped being struck.
Richter is of the opinion that some
of the men who were discharged
might have fired the shot and the po-
lice worked on that theory, but up
until a late hour tonight made no ar.
rests.
The quarry always maintained an
open shop, but last week the stone
cutters organized a union and sent for
a charter. The men were lined up
and the union men asked to step to
n side and were then told to give
up the union or their jobs.
