DENY DISCORD IN CHURCH
Local Christian Scientists Discredit
Reports from Boston.
Mrs. ErneSfine Adams Inclined to
Relieve Mrs. STeISon Was
MisquOted.

Christian Scientists in Washington are
not inclined TO take seriously the pub
lished reports that disruption exists in
the Mother Church al Boston A con-
sensus Of opinion, gathered from inter
views with several of the leaders In the
church here, would indicate that, while
they believe the accommodation of
Mrs Stetson TO have been justified, they
do not think the statements attributed
20 her are founded upon fact
Most OF the local Christian Scientists
declare that, in the absence Of any in
formation to the contrary. they believe
matters in the Mother Church 20 be on
an entirely harmonious basis. They say
that, as the church here is small, they
are not IN constant direct touch with
the directors at Boston. and are there
for not IN d position to be quoted upon
the subject
Mrs Ernestine Adams. one OF the most
active workers for the movement m
Washington. when seen last night said:
II do not believe that Mrs. Stetson ever
said the things attributed 10 her. I DO
not defend her, but believe that she has
harmony in the mother church
Mrs. Adams daughter. who is second
~eader in the First Christian Science
Church here, reiterated her mother
statements. H c. Wilson. first reader
Of the church, would make no comment
upon the situation when seen last night.

OYSTER FAMINE IS AVERTED
Several BOatlOads Of BivalVes Are
Expected to Arrive To-day.
Frozen River Also Has Kept Down
supply and Raised Prices of
Other Sea Food.

For the past Eve days, Washington
has been in imminent peril Of an oyster
famine The river has been frozen to
such an extent that it IS impossible for
the oystermen TO get their boats up to
the city. Several loads win arrive this
morning, however. and the threatened
scarcity of the bivalves will be relieved
FOR about tweuty-four hours. The cold
wave predicted by the Weather Bureau
may cause a serious shortage. In some
places. in the past fortnight, they have
been selling as high as 81 q bushel.
CLANS, sea bass, speckIed trout, and
shad have also been extremely scarce.
CLANS have been scarce for about tws
weeks. and have jumped TO 81 a hundred.
Their scarcity is assigned 10 the very
few men engaged in gathering them.
Sea bass have been selling for 20 cents
per pound. The supply is exceedingly
low. The hrst supply OF this FISH re-
ceived here for sixty days win arrive
this morning. It is expected about 1000
pounds viii be received.
Specked trout which are shipped here
from Miami are also very scarce. Re-
ports from the fishing banks in Florida
say the fish have come into the banks
ia small numbers this season. and on
account Of this fact there are only a few
firms shipping them north. Speckled trout
are selling at about Is cents per pound.
A local fisherman said last night that
the immediate outlook in the fish mar
ket was not very promising, unless a
warm spell prevails for several weeks.
Tor the next sixty days. at any rate"
said one fish dealer yesterday, Il ex-
pect all kinds of FISH 10 be scarce. I
have not seen things so dull in our line
fer some years. There has been an alb
solute oyster famine for the past few
days Oysters which ordinarily sell for
= cents per bushel were sold to-day for
a dollar.
1T Is probable local FISH dealers will
have some Of their stuff shipped by rail
from Baltimore if the river is frozen for
any length OF time during the expected
cold wave. This win give temporary re-
Lief.
IF the present warm spell had not
come and thawed the fee, I dare say
the Capital would have been without a
single edible oyster in three days"
All Washington oyster and clam boats
have been down in the Chesapeake Bay
for the past three weeks, but have been
unable To catch many oysters on ac-
count OF the heavy north winds. Those
which have cargoes have been prevented
from getting up the river on account Of
the ice.
