The Trial of Hattie lie Blanc.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 5.-The de.
Tense today won another important point
in the trial of Hattie lie Blanc, the
French Canadian girl charged with the
murder of Clarence +. Glover. Judge
Bond ruled that at present the prosecu-
ton should not introduce in evidence
the three questions asked Hattie lie
Blanc in her "third degree" the night
she was arrested. The idea of the prose
cution was TO show by these questions
and her answers that the girl know Eng
lish. Judge Bond, added, however, that
he might admit the questions and an
swers later in the day. Attorney Samuel
ID. Elmore was recalled. He admitted
that he had received $1,000 from Mrs.
Glover after her husbands murder to
against "certain plots" she thought were
being formed against her by her hus-
bands brothers Eimore admitted that
he had all of Hattie lie Blanc's letters.

Mrs. Eddy,s Death.

Boston, Dec. 5.-More than a mil
lion followers OF Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy today accepted the news OF her
death in sorrow, but not Christian
science leader in Boston would admit
that the church organization has suf-
fered a loss to its organization, through
Mrs. Eddy's death.
by Mrs. Eddy's demise we lose the
the counsel OF our leader. AS the
church organization is complete as II
stands today and has stood for some
time, it is perfectly we'll understood
that no successor to Mrs. Eddy will be
named" was the statement today oil
Alfred Farlow, head OF the publicity
department OF the Christian Science
organization.
No Christian scientist today would
discuss any plan for the disposition OF
Mrs Eddy's private fortune, which has
been supposed to BIO very large.
New York, Dec. 5.-That there will
be no change in the government OF the
Christian science faith as result oil
the death OF Mrs. Eddy was the ex'
pressed belief OF the church leaders
here today, The rumor that Mrs
Augusta e. Stetson, who was ex-con'
municated by the trustees OF the mother
church at Boston, might seize upon Che
death Of Mrs. Eddy as an opportunity
TO attempt TO force herself upon the
church as successor to the founder Of
the faith, was denied by both friend:
and foes OF Mrs. Stetson. The latter
refused to make any public statement
whatsoever on the death Of Mrs. Eddy
but her friends were insistent that she
had no desire to make trouble for the
church.
Chicago, Dec. 5.-Predictions OF The
collapse OF Christian Science following
the death OF its leader were freely made
here today In comment OF the passing
OF Mary Baker Eddy, and many lead
ers OF theological thoughts declared The
schisms would soon rend the religion;
structure she built. Opposed to thes'
we're declarations OF the leaders among
the Is, 1000 Chicago followers OF Mrs
Eddy. All assert that her death vii
make absolutely no difference in the
government of the church.

To THE victors belong the spoIls.
This was democracy's great day IN
Chicago. 1t witnessed the fall Of re-
publican rule in that city. With
ceremonies. beftting the occasion, the
victors at the November polls marched
into the county building and assumed
control OF the offices they won. After
IA years of Punishment, II years OF re-
verses and adyersities, the democrats
came into occupancy of the citadel.
Visions they had dreamed during the
l4-year biyouac in the SHOWS were re-
allied. Over 5000 jobs, with an annual
nual salary list Of over $500, 600 into
their hands as the spoiIs Of war. All
the power and prestige the republicans
had been deriving from the patronage
for II years past now become the pos
session OF the democrats by right OF
conquest. The abdicatlon OF the ola
officers and the installation OF the new
was the most spectacular episode IN the
annals of Cook county politics for sew
eral decades.

MONDAY EVENING. DEC. 5

ATroRSEY Henry "A. JOHNSON, OF
Norfolk, who recently started petitions
in which the governor was urged to
call an extra session OF the legislature.
for the enactment OF an adequate legal
lied primary law, now says that owing
10 Developments which seem to indicate
an appeal by the attorney general OF
the Norfolk election cases to. fully test
the present primary law, he had deter
mined to await future Developments
before agitating further au extra session
OF the legislature for the purposes men
toned in the petition TO Governor
Mann. Mr. JOhnson's hind sight like
that Of many others, is better than ms
foresight and he had better let extra
sessions alone. In the first place no body
OF men could frame 4 law which could
prevent the Norfolk district 'healers"
from cheating ut the polls, and IN the
second. this extra session talk seems
10 have dwindled down to an effort to
boost the candidacy Of q few men for
Office. An extra session would in
yolvc great expense to the people OF
the state who less than a month ago
expressed their disapproval Of extended
sessions of the legislature and there is
little doubt that if an extra session
were held much pernicious legislation
would be enacted.

boys we're all that remained OF ninety
who had refused to attend school Fri

and when the 9 O'Clock bell rang today
they marched meekly to their studies.
Twenty, who did not, we're gathered
about the gates OF the old school when
Wolfe came along with his belt and
vigorously applied it. The boys were
eager enough to take refuge in the
school, but some OF them found sittina
at their desks painful. Vice-Principal
Dutch said that the policeman had
effectually blocked the strike.

London, Dec. 5.-Amid scenes oil

Several cases OF drownings were re

Never before in an English election
has such cry OF fraud gone up as thu
present voting. This is due TO the fac
that the voting is under the registration
OF eighteen months ago. AS ther'
have been thousands OF deaths and re
movals since the registration, the op
portunity is presented for such fraudu
lent voting and both the liberals anC
conservatives are charging the othei
with the grossest padding Of their polls
The groundwork is being laid for many
contests.
The liberals went into the coetes
today with renewed courage. Thei
strong showing in London and Man
chester on Saturday gave them hops
that they would still further increas'
their representation in the metropolis

There is no longer the slightest doub

OPENLY expressed suspicion OF Presi-
dent Tait's intentions with respects to
the supreme court appointment, 1t Is
said in Washington, is obscurlng every
other public question among the pro-
Rressive men of both parties IN the
House and Senate. Clearly expressed
fear that the appointments are to be
made upon recommendations of special
interests and for the purpose OF giving
control of the court to men known to
place property interests above human
and public rights, is arousing a spirit
of resistance. This may result in a
fight in the Senate over the confirma-
ton OF the men the president wall
nominate. Such contest would Ger
tainly become a tremendous and mo-
mentous struggle in the conflict be-
tween the public interest and special
privilege.
