CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
WINS IN HIGH COURT
Test Case in New York Is Decided in
Favor of Christian Science
Practitioner

New York, October 20.-(Special.) Rec
ognition of the right to practice Chris
tan Science healing is given in a de-
cision handed down by the court Of APP
peals, in the case of Willis Vernon Cole
of this city Cole. who was convicted
through the efforts of the New York
County Medical society, is grained a new
trial.
In substance the court of appeals de-
cides that while tho practice of Chris
tian Science in the healing of bodily ills
would have come within the definition Of
practicing medicine, the exception con-
tanned in the medical license law, that
its provisions should not prevent the
practice of the religious tenets of any
church, exempted Christian Science
practitioners from the requirement Of
being admitted to practice as physicians.
To the opinion. written by Judge Chase.
Chief Judge Bartlett added q memoran-
dunn in which he said:
ct would go further. I deny the power
of the legislature to make 1t q crime to
treat disease by prayer"
On his second trial Cole was convicted
and fined 500 for illegal practice Of med
icine. Christian Scientists everywhere
were interested. and the case was re-
garded as a test The appellate division
sustained the conviction, Justice Clarke
saying in the opinion 1t was not valid
defense for Cole to say he was merely
following the tenets of his religious be-
lief. When the case was taken to tho
court of appeals District Attorney Whit
man said in his brief that the case chal-
lenged the Sovereignty Of the law of the
state"

DRAPERIES

barges were secured and placed side by
side over the wreck IL feet apart. They
were fastened together at each end with
two Orders made UP of three 20-foot piles
each, dashed together with heavy manila
rope, each turn of which was drawn
tight with a hosting engine. For raising
the locomotive three heavy clusters of
timbers, one at each end and one In the
center, were placed across the gap be-
tween the barges. Under each END OF
each Of these girders was placed a so
ton hydraulic jack, and 1A-inch steel
cables were used to suspend the locomo-
tive. When the locomotive had been
raised about 10 feet 1t was slung from
the barges by second set of cables,
while the timber Orders were lowered
again to the deck. After this operation
had been repeated three times, the loco
motive had been raised high enough to
permit its being towed to the track.

Locomotive Raised From Harbor

From the Eng1neeFIhg RECORD.
A railroad locomotive was recently
raised from the bottom of the harbor
at San Pedro, Cal, by being lacked UP
over a temporary track built on nearby
mud flat and lowered once more to the
rails. The jacks were set under the ends

sockets and supplies is now preparing to
bring out line of electric light switches
and sockets painted with a self-luminous
compound which will render their location
visible in the dark.
A "radium' paint will be used similar
TO that already recently employed on
luminous dial watches, cornpa sses, etc.
This paint is continuously self-luminous
The cost of the making and applying
the self-luminous paint is, at present
market prices of materials, about 81 per
square inch. At this rate it is expected
that the extra cost of equipping an ordi-
nary electric light switch will be from
20 cents to 80 cents.
