Seen in Courts Of New

But Prepare for Legal Test
Later On.

Concord ~ H., Jan 30.--The fight
for the fortune left by Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy will not be started before
the April session of the Merrimack
County Superior Court. but the prepa-
ration being made indicate that the
struggle will be the most bitter and
sensational ever fought in the courts
of this state.
In conference, the lawyers of George

who have fled petitions declaring the
s2,OOO,OOO bequest Of Mrs. Eddy to
the Boston church invalid, and the at
torneys for the Science Church. il
was agreed that the probating of the
will should not be disturbed.
The agreement. signed by Or. Eddy.
George w. Glover and former Senator
William e. Chandler, which closed the
next friends" suit, and was TO the
effect that they would not contest the
will of Mrs. Eddy. is generally under
stood to be the reason why the pro-
batting Of the will was not contested
When the petitions were filed by the
heirs of Mrs. Eddy for construction
of the law relating to the Will Sena-
tor Chandler said he did not think
Mrs. Eddy would violate any law i'm
making her will and on that ground
he decided. with the heir, TO contest
the validity of the s2,OOO.OOO bcquest to
the Mother Church.
The first step i'm this action, now
that the will has been duly probated
will be the iling of an answer to the
petitions. Just when this will be done
has not been determined. In the nat
ural course OF events IL would not
take place until the middle of March.
Unless n bill for n dismissal of the
petitions is made, the hearing on the
petition of George w. Glover i'm the
Merrimac County Court will not come
until April. The petition of ID. e. j. r.
EDDY i'm the United States court will
not come up for hearing until May.
Both these petitions will be stub
bornly fought There will be no COM
promise, and the STAKE is the largest
ever contested in the New Hampshire

Senator Albert j. Beverdge, the man
who is leading the fight to oust
Blonde Boss" Lorimer from his seat
in the senate, will come to Michigan
on March and address the Republi-

Saginaw.
Acceptance of the invitation to ad-
dress the state convention was re-
ceived by State Chairman Knox this
morning. who was delighted that his
efforts to land a big star had resulted
i'm getting the eloquent 1ndianian.
Il am very happy indeed, said Mr..
Knox this morning that Senator Bev-
cridge, i'm spite of the fact that the
convention comes just two days before
the adjournment of congress, has
found it possible and is willing to
come to Michigan To address the state
convention. He will be given a royal
welcome. for Michiganders are very
fond of Beveridge.
"The death of Senator Dolliver re-
moved from the senate the only man
comparable with Beveridge as an ora
tor In the last national campaign he
bore the brunt of the work on the
platform for the national committee.
Living i'm the pivotal state of Indiana,
he is sure to be a leading figure in
the fight two years hence.
"While l have not been advised by
Senator Beveridgc as to the subject of
his address, knowing his political
keenness. his statesmanly qualities,
his utter fearlessness and his prestige
as a Republican leader, | do not be-
lieve it will be amiss to say that Sena-
tor Beveridge's address to the Michi-
gan convention will sound the keynote
of the progressive campaign which will
be waged two years hence.
"Just now the entire country is en-
crossed i'm the contest over Lorimers
seat Beveridge is leading the Repub
lican attack upon the report of the
committee which would exonerate
Lorimer and leave him i'm the undis-
turbed possession of his toga.
"The press dispatches indicate that
this fight of Beveridge to oust the Chi
cago boss. who is charged with cor
rupting the Illinois legislature, will be
successful, but whether it is or no,
the man who led the fight In which
decent public sentiment everywhere
was on his side will get an enthusias-
tic reception from Republican state
