EDDY FORTUNE NOT
 FOR ONE CHURCH
ANSWER FILED BY EXECUTORS OF WILL DISPUTES SONS CLAIM THAT REsDUARY REQUEST CAN NOT BE RECEIVED

Concord, N. H.. February 5.-An answer to the bill in equity by which George w. Glover of Lead, S. D., seeks to have the residuary bequest in the will of his | mother. the Mary Baker Eddy. l founder of Christian Science declared in valid, was filed in the superior court , late Saturday night by counsel for the ex- | ecutors of the will, Henry M. Baker of
 Bow, N. H.. and for the trustees, Adam $. Dickey, Archibald McLelland, Josiah
 D. Fernald, Stephen A. Chase, Allison V.
 Stewart and John V. Dittemore, all of
 whom are named as defendants in the original bill. The answer disputes the claim of the petitioner of the bill in equity that the statutes of New Hamp- shire and Massachusetts prohibit the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos ton, from legally receiving the resduary bcquest.
 While the statutes in question limit the amount of bequest to any one church. the defendants aver that the beouest of Mrs. Eddy is intended flor denomina- tlonal or other uses which are not con- fined to one church."
 Another principal argunfent set forth is that George w. Glover has released all ciaims as an heir to the estate of his mother. and therefore does not occupy any position of trust entitling him to the direction and guidance of the court in the performance of fiduciary duties for Which he has asked. It is further de- clared that the bringing of the bill in equity is a fragrant breach of faith" on the part of the plaintiff.
 Even if the residuary bequest were void says the answer in effect, it would not 20 to the heirs at law of Mrs Eddy as in terstate property, but would pass to the church in trust for the execution of her hnal and paramount purpose of extending the religion of Christian Science as taught by her. Hence, 1t was argued, the plaintiff, George w. Glover. has no interest in Mrs. Eddy's estate or in the effect of the statutes upon the resduary bequests.
 The defendants ask the present bill be dismissed and that Glover and his man. aging attorney be enjoined and com nanded by the court not to bring, prose- cute or maintain any other proceedings in any court relating to an alleged claim of interest as an heir at law in Mary Baker Eddys estate

sion of Congress if legislation is not en- acted
 The President knows that a congress- man regards an extra session as school boy does the close of vacation. Thers are two things every congressman main tains to the end, one that extra sessions are unnecessary, the other that he loses money by being in Congress and would be only too glad to retire, but never does.
 So the President is swinging the extra session club over his party and in order that none may be left in ignorance of his intentions he is even telling demo- crats that Congress must either pass the Mccall bill or meet again in Washing ton about March 13. S
 The story is an old one to congressman. Every President since the war has made the extra session threat and they al- ways will. The difficulty is that it has been used so often and never materializes that the capitol simply jeers when 1t hears the story. President IaIt mas a chance to restore himself somewhat in public estimation by calling an extra session and giving the democrats an op- nortunity to revise the tariff downward as the people of the country demanded last November.
 Former Congressman Littlefield of Maine, one of the leaders of the Ameri- can bar. is here to make an argument before the supreme court. That the republicans will elect Pres ident in 1912 is somewhat doubtful he

 The restaurant is in the downtown the atre district and has a large patronage of after theatre diners
 The robbery took place soon after 5 o'clock, when the cashier and head waiter were in the main dining room. A well dressed man entered and inquired for a man whom he said was a former en- ploye.

 After handing the robber several pack ages of bills Adams said that was all he had but was forced to open tie safe and take out other money. The rob Der then backed out of the place, still Keeping both men covered with the re- volvers. Over s1000 in currency in drawer in the cashiers desk was over looked.
 A scrub woman who entered the main dining room during the robbery end saw the revolvers pointed at the men tainted.
