SAYS MRS. FRAME,
z, STOLE HUSBAND
Mrs. F. WeaverSOn Values
Lost Love at S25O,0O0
in Her Suit.

Mrs. Caroline w. Frame, seventy-two
years old and wealthy, who organized
and partly endowed the Fifth Christian
Science Church, at 24l Madison av,
was sued in the Supreme Court yester-
day for $3.50 900 by Mrs. Brownie Rath-
bone Weaverson, who alleges that Mrs.
Frame has alienated the affections of
her husband, Frederick Weaverson, who
is first reader in the church, helped
by the defendant and also her private
secretary. Weaverson is fifty years
old
Mrs. Weaverson is just as much in
terested in one Of the philosophical
cults of India as her husband is in
Christian Science, and she is devout
follower of one of the Hindu mahat-
mas.
All the parties to the litigation
which probably will create as much OF
a stir in their religious surroundings
as did the recent divorce suit of DR..
Julia Seton Sears against DR.. Frank
W. Sears, live in the same house; that
is, Mr.. and Mrs. Weaverson have one
apartment at 440 Riverside Drive and
Mrs. Frame occupies another apartment
on the same floor.
Mrs. Frame has several grown chill
dren.
Notwithstanding the alleged aliena-
tion of Mr. Weaverson's affections, the
plaintiff and her husband continue to
live together.
Mrs. Frame inherited about 81 ,000.-
600 from her husband, Charles P.
Frame, who died in 1903. and although
large part Of this money was placed
in jeopardy through the alleged misap-
preparation of trust fund by an attor-
ney, who acted as trustee, Mrs. Frame
! succeeded in recovering about s750,000.
While Mrs. Frame was riding in her
automobile she was served in the ac-
tion. Her companion in the Riverside
Drive apartment is an elderly woman.
In the same house where the princi-
Mrs. Montgomery Waddell. Mrs. Wad-
dell is the second reader of the Fifth
Christian Science Church. Mr.. Wad-
dell is consulting engineer at 80
Church ST., where Weaverson has desk
room.
Mrs. Weaverson was arrested in 1905
on the complaint of the County Medi-
cal Society that she practised medi-
cine without a license. Mrs. Ellen
Roehll. the patient, testified that Mrs.
Weaverson told her the Christian Sci
cnce Church was in need of money.
On subsequent visits. said the patient,
Mrs. Weaverson received small amounts
of money.
Mrs. Weaverson denied at that time
that she was a Christian Scientist

ROOT TEMPORARY
CHAIRMAN CHOICE
Committee Picks Senator to
Make Address at Unofficial
Convention.

Senator Elihu Root is to be tenn
porary chairman of the unofficial state
convention to be held by the Republi-
can party at Saratoga on August s.
The committee of the state committee,
appointed at the meeting at the Wal
dorf on May 2S to recommend a tenn
porary chairman to the convention,
made this selection last night.
The committee. which consisted of
Francis Hendricks, of Onondaga, chair
man; Samuel s. Koenig. Of New York;
Jacob A. Livingston. Of Kings; James
A. Loyster, Of Madison: Philip Eltinc.
Of Ulster; George w. Aldridge, of
Monroe, and William l.. Ward, of West
chester, met in this city.
Senator Root appeared before the
committee and indicated that he would
accept.
II is generally recognized that Sena-
tor Root should and will be the ad-
wiser of the party in the campaign this
fall. and that is the reason he was
named to make the important address
at the convention. He is particularly
interested in the principles for which
the party shall stand in the Constitu-
tional Convention, and q considerable
part OF his address will probably be
devoted to those things.
He is engaged at present In picking
a committee Of twenty-five TO draft y
platform for the consideration Of the
convention.
