First Interpretation of Massa-
chusetts Court decision Re-
futed by Members Here

Christian Scientists in Hawaii take
exception to the Interpretation of the
Massachusetts supreme court decision
upon the two million dollar will OF the
late Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy. The de-
cision was telegraphed out, and cabled
to Hawaii, as declaring the big trust
roid, but Christian Scientists say this
Interpretation of the courts ruling is
not at all correct.
The two interpretations are under
stood by the following newspaper ar
ticles, the first an Associated Press
dispatch from Boston, the second
from the Christian Science Monitor,
which appends the decision in full.
Says the first dispatch:
BOSTON, Oct "a trust, estimat-
ed at $2000,0 900, created by the will OF
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy founder of the
Christian Science church, for the Dene-
fit of the denomination, was declared
void by the Massachusetts supreme
court today.
The court holds, however, that a
charitable trust has been created and
that new trustees may be appointed
to administer it.
The trust was to have been admins
tered by the directors Of the Mot.
church in Boston, but the court decid-
ed that the trust provisions were uulli-
fed under the statute limiting the
amount of the income from bequests
TO religious organizations to $4,000 an
Hually.
The court dismissed the bill brought
by the contestants of the will. who
alleged that the teachings Of Chris
ton Science were against public pol
icy. The contestants are given 30 days
i'll which to bring additional evidence
to support their claims.
The court holds that the action OF
the attorney general in becoming a
rarty to the suit gives George W.
Clover, the son of Mrs. Eddy, and
Etenezer J. Foster Eddy, her Stepson,
q standing, because it is possible the
heirs may take the property.
The Christian Science Monitor of
October 10 thus interprets the deci-
sion:
A decision of the Massachusetts su-
preme court handed down "Wednesday.
relating to the will of the Rev. Mary
Baker Eddy, Discoverer and FounL~
OF Christian Science, announces that

STEERE
TESTIFIES ON
MAHUKA VALUES
Third Section of Federal Build
ing Site Cases Goes to
Jury on Friday

F. E. Steere, testifying in the Ma
huka site hearing this morning for
the government, fixed total valua-
ton of $46,4S0 for the Office Supply
Company site, estimating the land to
be worth $37,9S0 and the improve
ments $500. He divided the land, for
the purpose of appraisement, into two
classes, taking the frontage and depth
for an area Of 36x70 feet and valuing
that at $12.50 per square foot, the re-
mainder at IS per square foot.
Attorney Olson, for the owners, in
cross examination developed the fact
that $35 per square foot had been paid
for neighboring properties in 1911.
One of these was the sale by the Ha-
waiian Trust Company to the Brewer
Estate of the Chambers Drug Com
pany building site, where that amount
was paid for the land alone. Another
was the sale, in 1911 by Bruce Cart
wright Sr., to Thomas Douglas of a
one-sixth interest in the Gunst corner
at $35.25 per square foot, for the land
alone.
All evidence probably will be con-
cluded and arguments at least partial
ly finished tomorrow morning, and the
case is expected to go to the jury some
time Friday morning.
