TROUBLE over WILL
OF MOTHER EDDY
Attorneys Say Church Can't
Get Property.
FORTUNE PASSES TO KIN

HannIS Taylor, Ex-senator ChanoIer
and Others Declare Will is Null and
void-lnjunction Is asked to Prevent
Any Disposition of the Property.
That the residuary clause in the will
of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder
of the Christian Science church, is null
and void, is the opinion of ex-senator
William E. Chandler, Hannis Taylor,
of Washington, D. c., professor Of con-
stitutional and international law at
George Washington University, and
others, as given out for publication at
Concord, N. H. The clause provides
for a gift of about 100000 to the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston,
known as the mother church"
A statute Of New Hampshire pro-
hibiting a bequest to church OF over
$4,000 annually is the basis of the
opinion which is written by Professor
Taylor.
The Facts Reviewed.
Mr.. Chandler, as counsel for the
next friends" in his letter to Profess
sor Taylor reviews the facts regard
ing Mrs. Eddy's will and estate and the
next friends" suit which resulted IN
Mrs. Eddy's placing large sum Ct
money in trust for her son, George W..
Glover, of Lead, S. D., and his chill
dren. He then described his signing
the agreement by which the "nezt
friends" suit was settled and adds:
"Mr. Streeter General Frank S.
Streeter, of Concord) drew the agree
ment for my signature. When signing
/ took it for granted that Mrs. Eddy
would not, in giving away her prop
erty, undertake to violate public law.
If had thought she had already done
so, by attempting to create church
with an endowment of 100000, l
should not have signed"
A petition was filed in the superior
court at Concord by ex-senator Chan
dler and other attorneys, asking the
court for a construction Of Mrs. Eddy S
will, particularly the clause relating to
The residuary estate.
The petitioners also pray for an in
junction against any disposition being
made Of the property in question pend
ing the construction of the residuary
clause.

Anticipating a bitter contest over
the effort to repeal the prohibition

Alabama Legislature, after prolonged
debate. adopted a rule forbidding any

Pitt and the Peerage.
The exclusive and almost feudal
character of the English peerage was
destroyed finally and of set purpose
by Pitt when he declared that every
man who had an estate of $4,000 a
year had a right to be peer. In Lord
Beaconsield's words: "He created a
plebeian aristocracy and blended it
with the patrician oligarchy. he made
peers of second rate squires and fat
graziers. He caught them in the al
leys Of Lombard street and clutched
them from the counting houses OF
Cornhill."-From collections and Rec

Bank, personally handled many transac-
tons for the bank under the Sullivan re
gime, was adduced at the resumption Of
the investigation of the affairs Of the Union
Bank before Edward l.. Dodge. Deputy
Bank Superintendent, in the Kings County
Court House yesterday. George Tonkonogy,
former counsel for the Atlantic branch Of
the Union Bank. testified that i'm many in
stances he cOrrcsponded directly with Miss
Burkhardt in regard TO various loans and
purchases of property for the bank instead
of writing 10 the bank officials
James 9. Cropsey, who conducted the ex-
animation Of witnesses, tried to show that
some Of the deals which TonkOnogy put
through were on Miss Burkhardts indi-
vdual account, instead of for the bank.
but the witness insisted that he had always
represented the bank in all such matters.
Several letters from Mr.. Tonkonogy to Miss
Burkhardt were read into the record by
Mr. Cropscy The letters were always en-
couraging and optimistic in regard to the
transactions in question. I'm one the wit
ness wrote:
I'VE should be pleased with this deal, as
