CONCERNS MRS. EDDVs SON.
Court is Asked TO Restrain Him From
contestins Will.

Concord. n. IT., Feb. 6.-An answer
TO the bill of equity filed by George w.
Glover of Lead, S. d., who seeks a writ
OF certiorari in the effort TO have the
will OF his mother, the late Mrs Mary
Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Sci
ence, declared invalid, was presented
in the superior court late Saturday
night by counsel for the executors of
the will.
The answer disputes the claim of the
petitioner in the bill that the statutes
OF New Hampshire and Massachusetts
prohibit the First church of Christ.
Science, i'm Boston from legally receiv-
ing the residuary bequests, which
amount to about $1,000 OOO While the
statutes in question limit the amount
of the bequest to any one church the
defendants aver that the bequest of
Mrs. Eddy is intended for denomina-
tlonaI or other uses which are not CON
fined to one church"
The defendants deny that there is no
regular system of educational and
charitable work connected with the
mother church and say that "on the
contrary the fundamental purpose for
which the church was established and
exists, namely the promotion of the
doctrines of Christian Science, is cs-
sentially meritable."
Another Principal argument set forth
is that George w. Glover has released
all claims as heir TO the estate of his
mother and has bound himself never
TO contest or question any disposition
of the property she might make.
The defendant asks that the present
bill be dismissed and that Glover be
enjoined and commanded by the court
not to bring. maintain or prosecute in
any court any other~proceedings relat-
ing to an alleged claim of interest in
Mrs. Fddys estate.

Representative Appears Before
Ways and Means Committee
to Argue Against Can
adian Reciprocity
SAYS INDUSTRY IS IN DANGER
Canadians Would Reap Advantage il
Treaty is Adopted, He Declares
Gets Little Sympathy From
the Committee.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 6.-The
House ways and means committee to-
day received three protests against
Canadian reciprocity, The most inn
portant was from the manufacturers
Of print paper. The questions and re-
marks of the members seemed to in
dicate little sympathy with this pro-
test.
In resopnse to questions from Rep
resentative Bautell OF Illinois, Mr.. HUI
go, representating the manufacturers,
said the price of print paper in the
United States went up after the pass
age of the Payne Aldrich law. Hugo
said the price was abnormally low
during the tariff agitation preceding
the enactment of the Payne-Aldrich
act. and the increase since its passa &c
had been due to the return 90 normal
prices
Clark of Missouri wanted To know
il the increase was not due to you
gentlemen artiiicially fixing the price,
That Hugo denied. The manufactures
said that the placing OF print paper
on the free list would smash the Am
erican industry. Randall of Texas
suggested that that was what the man
ufacturers said would happen if the
duty was reduced eighteen months
ago.

Its PASSAGE Ind;caSed.

Senator Borah Is determined that
there shall be a vote on his resolution
in time to obtain consideration by the
house. He will urge the senator's who
oppose it to make their speeches early
in the week. After waiting what he
believes to be reasonable time. he
says he will insist upon continued con-
sideration until vote is had. The in
dications are that he has SUFFICIENT
votes to carry out his program.
The situation is extremely interest
ing. A large majority of tho Repub-
Leans are opposed to the resolution,
but the progressive Republicans and
the Democrats control the situation by
two or three votes. Several efforts were
made by Senator Borah to have day
fixed on which to take a vote, but un-
animous consent thus far has been re-
fused.
If the resolution passes tfo senate
II is not known what its fate N.ll he in

every encouragement to keep on

briefly away from the fundamentals of
our civilization, which | would state as
being found in the simple but sternal
truths of Christianity.
"Our Christian civilization of today
is contesting for human service with
Buddhism, Mohammedanism. Brah-
minism and the lesser beliefs that seek
to guide the people of the world into
human pathways. often times the
very simplicity of Christian virtue and
it's common presence fails to impress
the younger mind trained i'm the great
universities of America and Europe.
our immature scholars incline to turn
to Plato, Pythageras. zarathustra and
Confucias. as Offering in their nebulous
! attractiveness more agreeable mental
pabulum. They do not at first always
remember the failure of these philos-
ophies to uplift the world in a practic-
al and catholic manner.

ours is a civilization of Christ and
that all we have in Christendom grows
out of the persistNt interpretations

Nazarene. Agnestician is cowardice,
Infidelity is a disease Apostacy is
disloyalty.

Three Hundred Soldiers Fight
Way Through Insurgent
Ranks and Reinforce
Juarez Garrison
ATTACK ON TOWN Is DELAYED
Insurrectos are Forced to Withdraw to
RepIenish Ammunition and Sup
plies-Aeroplsne to be Used
by the v. S.

FL Paso. Texas, Feb. 6.-Out- gener-
allied in their efforts to prevent the en-
trance into Juarez Of Col. Rabago and
three hundred federal troops from the
south, the Revolutionists under Oroz-
co were reported this morning to have
retired TO Salamayuca, twenty miles
south OF Juarez, TO replenish their sup
plies OF ammunition and await rein
forcements.
The whereabouts of Orozco and
other rebel leaders and commands is
puzzling the federal officials. The
members of the Insurrecto Junta de-
clare the rebels ran out of food and
water and had TO withdraw, but will
attack as soon as Orozco is reinforced
by men from Ojinaga, east Of here,
and others from the vicinity of Galea-
ma Casas Grandes to the south.
With the fear of immediate attack
dissipated, the tension in Juarez is
greatly relaxed and business houses
arc opened again.

WOMEN TO VOTE TOMORROW.
Prepared to Exercise Right of Fran
ohise at Seattle Election.

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 6-In the cleo
tion here tomorrow the recall will go
to the stiffest test 1t has had since it
was first adopted as feature in the
government of American municipali-
ties. The election is to decide whether
the present mayor, Hiram G. Gill. shall
be made to give up his office. Charges
OF corruption in the police department
and unrestrained vice evils were made
the grounds of the recall petition.
Mayor Gill, as a candidate for re-elec-
ton, is seeking vindlcation at the
hands of the voters. His opponent is
George w. Dilling. who is the can
didate of the Welfare league, repre-
senting the reform element. The cam
paign has been one Of the intense bit
terness. Mass meetings have been
held almost nightly to protest against
the conditions alleged to exist in the
city and ministers have appealed from
their pulpits for the citizens to aid in
the fight against the social evil One OF
the most interesting features of the
contest is the fact that the votes OF
the women of Seattle may decide the
issue. The women of this state were
granted the right of suffrage at the
last eltction and this is the first oppor-
tunity afforded them to exercise that
right.

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 6.-Desiring TO
effectually stop the slaughter of the
few elks remaining in the state Of
Washington the state legislature pro-
poses to make the killing Of an elk a
felony but in drafting the bill a joker
slipped in and if the proposed act be-

penitentiary. one of the provisions OF
the bill is six years in the penitentiary
and a fine of $4,000 as the maximum
or three years Imprisonment and a fine
of $500 as the minimum, If person
has in his possession, between Novem-
ber / and September 10, an elk tooth,

prove i'm court that he did not himself
kill the animal. Members Of the b.

or amendment of the bill. The part of
the act which makes killing an elk a
felony is not without precedent In
California it is felony to kill an elk
at any season.

REHEARING IN RUFF CASE.
San Francisco's Political Boss Fight
inu for Freedom.

San Francisco. Cal, Feb. 6.-The
case of Abraham Ruef, the former po-
litical boss of San Francisco who was
sentenced to fourteen years in the PEN
itentiary for bribery of a supervisor,
came up for rehearing today in the
state supreme court. Ruef was con-
victed two years ago after a trial that
lasted nearly four months and which
was made sensational by the attempt
to assassinate Francis ]. Henney, the
special prosecutor i'm the case. Since
his conviction every twist and turn
known to the law has been employed
to save the former political boss from
prison. Recently he has been enjoying
his liberty under S250.000 bail. The
main contention in support of the pre-
sent request for new trial is that the
receiver of the bribe is an accomplice
and equally guilty with the giver of
bribe money, and that thus far his
testimony is inadmissible. Should this
contention be upheld by the supreme
court, i'm opposition to the opinion ex-
pressed by the appellate court, many of
the principal witnesses against Ruef
would be disqualified from testifying.
