ATTACK is MADE
ON MARY B. EDDY
Frederick ". Peabody. Boston Law
yer, Declares Christian Science
Is Not Religion.
CALLS IT COMMERCIAL SCHEME
In Address at Illinois Theatre Speaker
Says Denomination Founded to
Sell Books.

In a lecture filled with bitterness
and sarcasm, Frederick W. Peabody,
a Boston lawyer, yesterday afternoon
at the Illinois theatre made sensa-
tional attack on Christian Science,
claiming that it was not religion but
a unique commercial enterprise,
founded by Mrs, Mary Baker Eddy for
the purpose of enriching herself.
Mr.. Peabody was brought to the city
under the auspices Of the Rock Island
Ministerial alliance. He was secured
by the heirs of Mrs. Eddy to repre-
sent them in an attempt to break her
will and secure the fortune which she
left the Mother Church"
The theatre was filled when Rev
D. A. Johnson, pastor of the Central
Presbyterian church, called the meet
ing to order and introduced the speak
O.. In prefacing his remarks, Mr..
Peabody took occasion to deny that
he had ever been a Christian Scientist
or that his wife had been a rival of
Mrs. Eddy for leadership in the de-
nomination. He said that he had
heard that the statement had been
made since his arrival in the city that
he had been disbarred, but he de-
nounced the accusation with charac-
teristic feeling.
In his address Mr.. Peabody re
viewed the private life of Mrs. Eddy
and ridiculed the assertion that Mrs.
Eddy had had a revelation in 1866
which was responsible for the found
ing Of the new religion. He declared
that in 1852 Mrs. Eddy took treatment
from a DR.. P. P Quinby and that it
was his theories that years later she
decided to claim as her own in an
nouncing the principles of Christian
Science.
Cures Questioned.
The speaker said that Mrs. Eddy
claimed she could perform miracles
even as Jesus did, but this Mr. Pea
body denied, as we'll as bringing into
question cures said to have been made
by her healers. He especially attack
ed what he termed was the unsympa-
thetic attitude of the church toward
children.
That Mrs. Eddy's object in found
Ing Christian Science was merely to
furnish an agency for the sale of her
books and literature, was claim ad-
vanced, and most of the address was
taken up in elaboration of that state
ment.

A new system Of Numbering autnmf

A new system OF numbering automo-
mile plates is to be adopted in New
York in 1916. There are to be three
registration zones-Albany, Buffalo
and New York city In the first zone
the numbers on the plates will be pre-
coded by A, in the second by B, while
in New York city they will have no
alphabetical prefix. In this way the
numbers In each zone will be re-
stricted to five figures To give addi-
tional legibility TO the figures, the hun
dreds and thousands will be separated
by hyphen, thus, 5000.

GRAND JURY BUSY
ON GERMAN PLOTS
SAN FRANCISCO INVESTIGATORS
WORK ON ALLEGED PLANS
TO BLOW UP SHIPS.

San Francisco, Jan. 3.-The federal
grand jury. was called to meet again
today to resume its investigation into
the alleged German plots to blow up
ships and munitions plants.
United States District Judge Dool-
ing and United States District Attor-
ney John w. Preston were to return
today from their holiday vacations,
and 1t was believed that Judge Dooling
would render decision as to whether
Mrs. Margaret B. Cornell should be
held in the indictment returned
against her recently.
Mrs. Cornell was indicted jointly
with G. G. Crowley, detective in
whose employ she was, and Baron
George Wilhelm von Brincken, an at
tache Of the local German consulate.
All three were charged with using the
mails to incite arson, murder and
assassination. Mrs. Cornell claimed
immunity from trial on the ground she
was compelled to testify before the
grand jury.
