PREDICTED MRS. EDDY
WILL RISE FROM DEAD
(Herald Specially

New York, Dec. 30.-The positive
declaration of Mrs. Augusta E. Stet-
son, communicated leader of Chris
tian Science, that Mrs. Mary Baker
Eddy will rise from the dead to
prove that there is life after death"
is expected to seriously effect the cult
throughout the world. Both sides of
the controversy here declined to make
public their plans today, but each is
watching the other closely. The real
battle is expected to take place in
Boston and in the immediate future.
The statement of Mrs. Stetson is the
sole topic of conversation among the
Scientists here today, and has
amazed some, disillusionized Others,
and has precipitated a bitter dispute.
Eugene B. Cox, head of the pub
licity commission of the church here,
issued a statement today in which he
says there was nothing in the teach
ing of Christian Science or in the
writings of Mrs. Eddy to justify the
statement looking for physical resur-
rection When asked il she were the
Christ, Mrs Eddy replied: Even the
question shocks me; what l am is for
God to declare in His infinite mercy.
There was and is and ever can be.
but one God, one Jesus of Nazareth"
Such an authoritative statement by
Mrs. Eddy, declares Mr.. Cox, should
forever put at rest any wild and Wis
ionary ideas regarding resurrection.

Hoaue,s Demurrer Sustained

New Orleans, La Dec. ga deci-
sion was rendered today in one of the
most unusual cases on record before
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals. 1t was that of the United
States against w. ]. Hogue, from
the northern district of Texas. A re-
hearing was refused and Hogue's de-
murrer to the charges of perjury
against him sustained
When the case was first brought be-
fore the appellate court the judges or
dered the matter stricken from the
record on the ground that it was i'm
pertinent and disrespectful. A new
bill of appeal was filed and the con-
tentions advanced therein were sus-
tanned. Hogue was tried for perjury
in connection with an alleged effort
to defraud by use of the mails,

GENUINE CONSERVATION

The New York World believes
President Taft is a true friend of
conservation. Il says.
I'm Withdrawing from settlement
nearly 5000 600 acres of public land
which may be available for water
power sites and mining purposes Mr..
Taft has made prompt use OF the new
conservation law passed by congress
on the eve OF adjournment. His act
should silence some of those rabid
critics who have been assailing his
good faith as a conservationist. The
test of their good faith will lie in
their willingness to commend his
course. Mr.. Taft like most careful
lawyers, doubted his authority to
withdraw large areas of public land
merely because he was personally a
believer In the policy OF conservation.
He insisted that congress give the
president that power. and after an
obstinate nght having been Invested
