News of Mrs. Eddy's Death
Shock to Followers Here

The news Of the death of Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy. founder of Christian Science.
was received with much regret and sor-
row by members of the Christian Science
Church in Washington. There will be no
memorial services in the First Church OF
Christ, Scientist, the only Christian
Science church in Washington and no one
from Washington will attend the funeral
services. according to statement made by
III. Cornell Wilson. first reader OF the
Washington church.
For my own part and in behalf OF
all the members of the local church." Mr.
Wilson said today, II can say that We
are exceedingly regretful, but still crate.

is her work that is going to stay. We
didn't feel that she could remain with
us"
II lived at the house of Mrs Eddy fos
about six months four years ago, and, OF
course. i was intimately acquainted with
her. But Ii is not the religion Of our
church to shout out from the housetops
the good deeds of our founder. She
taught us to look to God as the founder
of all things, and while we feel her deatt
deeply, We are only following the dictate,

DEMANDS SQUARE DEAL
FOR LOCAL LEGISLATION
Representative Smith Tires Of
Seeing the District Meas
ures Ignored.

Representative Samuel w. Smith of
Michigan. chairman Of the House District
committee, is tired Of seeing the legislative
needs Of the District Of Columbia ignored
session after session. Realizing that with
thirty-eight bills reported from the House
District committee-some Of them having
been passed by the Senate-it viii be
necessary to make special effort to Sc
cure consideration for even a portion Of
these :during the short session, he intends
to do everything he can to secure fair
play.
Sets Date for Consideration.
Mr. Smith will tomorrow ask unani-
nous consent, having already secured Mr..
purpose, that the House consider District
business Thursday Of this week, In ad-
dftion to the regular District day next
Monday.
Later it is quite probable that Mr..
Smith will ask for several evening ses-
sions for the exclusive consideration OF
District business.
But until it Is possible to get a line on
the matter in which the House intends to
treat the District committee this year
and how good the chances are for dis
posing Of the thirty-eight measures now
ready for action Mr.. Smith does not
propose to have his committee work over
time grinding out more bills merely to
have them slumber on the District cal
endar.
"Loan Shark" Measure First.
If the effort to secure Thursday for tho
consideration business is successful the
first bill to be called up by Mr.. Smith
will be what is termed the '1oan shark"
measure. Mr.. Smith and the other menu
bers of the committee realize that there
Is general sentiment here in Washington
Tor the enactment Of this bill into law,
and everything will be done to expedite
it. There are many other measures OF
Importance among the thirty-eigh bills
on the calendar, including several affect
ing the gaslight companies.
1t is Chairman smiths ambition to
clean up the whole District STATE this
year, SO that when this session Is over
and he retires from the craftsmanship Of
the House district committee in favor Of
some democrat there will not be an ac-
emulation of leftover business either on
the House or committee calendars.

GAVE MUCH TO CONCORD.
Mrs. Eddy's Many Charities Remem
bered at Her Old Home.

CONCORD. n. H., December 5.-News
Of the death Of Mary Baker Eddy was
received In this city with profound In
terest. 1t was in the adjoining town Of
Bow that she was born eighty-nine years
ago. and she resided here from 1850 to
January &c. 1908. when she went to New
ton, a suburb of Boston. to pass the re-
manning days Of her life.
This city, while she was here, was the
mecca for her followers from all parts
Of the world. Several times special pill
grimages were held. during which thou
SANDS rushed to Pleasant View, her beau
tiful home in Concord's suburbs. to gam
a sight Of the mother" or to near a
word from her lips as she viewed the
throng from the balcony.
Concord has reason to remember Mrs.
Eddys charities. Always on Christmas
the poor children OF the city were newly
shod. The roads leading from Pleasant
View through the city were built anew
with funds amounting to thousands OF
dollars contributed by her. The beauti-
full swans in the park were her gift. Only
recently she sent check for 81 600 to
the building fund of New Hampton In
stitution in memory of entertainment
which she received at the hands OF
friends in that town half century ago
Finally the beautiful church constructed
Of Concord granite in which her follow
ers worship was her gift.
Estate About 81, 10000
1t is said here that Mrs Eddy left an
estate that will probably exceed 81, 5OO.-
700. 1t consists OF her copyrights upon
her books; Pleasant View, valued at $780,.
VU0; her real estate at Newton, Mass
and approximately $1,OOO,OOO in munich
pal and state bonds. This property is
in the hands Of her trustees, Josiah f.
Fernald, president of the National State
Capitol Bank of this city; Archibald Nc.
Lellan of Boston, and Adam H. Dickey
Of Boston. The trustees were empowered
TO hold the funds until her death, wher
they were to be disposed of in accord.
ance with her will A will is known tC
be in existence.
1t IL believed that the will must bt
probated in this city. Mrs. Eddy, since
she removed to Newton, still claimed hel
legal domcile to be in Concord. In al
legal papers she set herself up as a resi-
dent here. No contest Of the will is ex
pected, as she has disposed OF any prob
ability of this by an ante-mortem settle
ment with her legal heirs.

WILD CYCLE WH|RL
Six-Day Racers in Early
Morning Sprint.
TEAM LOSES SEVEN LAPS
German and Verlinden, Left Far Be-
hind, Quit the Contest.
WORLDS RECORD SURPASSED
Fourteen Pairs Tied for First Place
Had Travelled 271 Miles, Six
Laps, at Noon.

NEW YORK, December 5.-The annual
six-day bicycle race at Madison Square
Garden had its first distinctive feature
between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning
The contest UP to that hour had been
listless and the big crowd that had been
in attendance since It's inception had had
little chance for enthusiasm
Suddenly rider with q blue and white
striped sweater, the Frenchman, Geofget,
shot out Of the bunch and started a
sprint that brought worry to many and
woe to one OF the teams. Faster and
faster he sped and in FIVE minutes Ger
main and Verlinden, the French Belgium
team, who had frequently set the pace
during the night, were in difficulties.
Though they relieved each other re-
peatedly, the other racers could not be
gainsaid. and German and Verlinden
lost lap. then another and another until
the count became monotonous to the
crowd. When the riders finally settled
down to a steady pace the score board
showed that German and Verl.nden nal
lost seven laps. During the following
nour, from q to Z, they lost three more
laps, which put them exactly a mile be-
mind the other fourteen teams, which hao
managed to hang together despite the
terrific pace.

Catch Up With Record.

When Georget started the sprint at $40
am the riders were two miles and nine
laps behind the worlds record. At u
O'Clock, as result of the wild riding,
they had picked up two miles and seven
laps of this distance and in the next hour,
though the pace was not quite SO fast,
they made up the other two laps, so that
the official figures hung up at O'Clock,
1853 miles and 5 laps, showed that they
had equaled the worlds record for seven
hours riding. AS matter of fact, they
were half lap anead OF the record, but
as fractions of laps are not recorded this
did not show in the official score.
At 8 O'Clock fourteen teams were tied
DIT 1S5 miles 5 laps. The Germain-V Yer
linden team had made 1874 miles lops
and was eleven laps in the rear of the
bunch. The leaders were one lap ahead
OF the record of 1855 miles laps, made
by MacFarland and Moran In 1905

declared out Of the race at S:33 O'Clock.
The outdistanced pair quit riding at SIG.
after they had lost nearly fifteen laps.
and decided it would be useless to con-
tinue the grind.
The fourteen teams were still tied for
first place at IL o'clock today, with q
score Of 271 miles and laps. The
former record was 27O miles and laps
for twelve hours. made by Mcfarland

The test was not one OF speed. but OF

the course at a time, and some Of them,
who didn't keep their eyes fixed on the
.speedOmeter had TO traverse the quarter
Of a mile several times until Timer
Jose was assured that the record was
bona 1de.
Everyday policemen who swing a
billy and haven't wheels kept the
course clear and one Of them acted as
starter. The riders were started ak out

as they crossed the line the sts rter

Although the apprehension Of sturgis
was directly brought about through the
efforts Of the Chicago authorities. the
amount involved in his alleged pecuia-
tons here is between 1900 and sg 600

cision TO turn him over 20 the Wash

pond here, two surety companies hav-
ing Jointly offered a reward OF g900 for
