$476,OOO HAUL

Auto Bandits Hold
Up Two Wall Street
Messengers.

T, NEW YORK, Nov. 3o.-Close to
$500. 900 in Liberty bonds were gath
cred in this afternoon by four dar-
ing automobile bandits in Brooklyn
in plain view of a number of pass
ers-by and shoppers. They held up
two messengers from a Wall Street
firm.
The total amount was given by
the police as s476,0oo, and only s46.-
oO0> worth Of the bonds were in
sured.
The two messengers - Anton A.
Young. 80 and Irving Cohes. 2l-
had left their firm-Keane. Taylor
and Company-to deliver the bonds
to Igoe Brothers, hardware manu-
facturers and wire nail dealers, in
the Green Point section of Brook
lyn. and had just reached the en-
trance of the Brooklyn firm when
the bandits alighted from their au-
tomobile and ordered them to raise
their hands.
One of the messengers was slow,
and bandit calmly walked over to
him and removed a bundle of bonds
from under his arm. The other mes
senger had dropped his package
and stood with raised hands.
The robbers re-entered their ma
chine and were off in the distance
before passers-by reached the spot.
The engine of the car had been left
running, and as II speeded off the
hold-up men fired several shots as

CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST
CASE UP In COURT

BOSTON, Nov. 3O.-Unprecedented
scenes attended the opening of ar
gumentS yesterday in the Massa-
chusetts Supreme Court on the va
rious bills concerning the authority
of the directors of the Christian
Science Church. AT 4 o'clock this
morning ten persons were awaiting
in Pemberton Square. At $3.50 the
group had swelled to 800.
The principal issue involved in
the Christian Science litigation are:
The supremacy of the board of di-
rectors as the governing power in
the Christian Science world, the
control of the publishing houses.
and whether or not the Mother
Church is a public charitable trust.
The first of the five actions be-
fore the court is the bill of equity
of the trustees of the Christian
Science Publishing Society against
the directors of the Mother Church,
asking the court to declare void
the removal by the directors of
Lamont Rowlands as a trustee ana
to restrain the directors from in
terfering with the business of the
society. The second is
the bill OF John v. Dittemore, ask
ing the court to declare void his
removal by the directors as a MEM
Der of their board. These two bills
were heard Jointly by former Fed
eral Judge Frederic Dodge as mas
ter in the summer of 1919. The
masters report, filed on March 6,
1920, is in favor of the trustees and
of Dittemore. The question before
the full bench is on upholding or
rejecting the report.
Former Justice Charles Evans
Hughes, in his argument for the
trustees of publications declared
that Mary Baker Eddy never de-
sired to modify the deed of trust
in which she created tthe trustees
of publications. and that inten-
she made the deed perpet-
ual and irrevocable.

JUDGE STONE TELLS WHAT HE
THINKS OF NON-PARTISAN

Continued from ls' Page)
under the iron fist of Mr. Townley
and his cohorts
''They established an industrial
commission, bill which gives to the
State of North Dakota the power to-
engage in any enterprise of any kind,
except the manufacture of wkiskey;
banking, packing. milling, manufac-
turing. In under the bill establishing
the commission, three men, one Of
whom is the governor, are given abb
solute and entire control Of every in-l
dustrial venture that the state Of
North Dakota may issue its bonds for
and enter into. But in order that the
control may be still more complete it
is provided that no act of the Com
mission shall become effective without
the consent of the Governor. Town
ley, the master schemer, controls thru
his organization, made up of active
Red agitators, the votes Of a large
majority of the farmers of North
Dakota. Consequently Townley hand
picks and dictates the election Of
practically every state official. So,
as Townley controls the Governor and
the Governor controls the Industrial
Commission, and the Industrial Com
mission exercises unheard Of power
over every industry in the state. it
is but a simple deduction to know that
Townley, under the North Dakota
program, will be the unrestrained
dictator of the industrial life of the
state. And Townley is q Socialist. !"
And bear in mind that Townley, the
president of this so-called Nonparti-
san League, and Gilbert. a chief
henchman, have been convicted in
. court by jury made up of farmers
of conspiracy to obstruct the war
purposes of the government.
Two great instrumentalities for
the protection Of the peoples right
are the press and the school. These
are the moulders Of public opinion
and naturally the Nonpartisan League
plays its role of dictatorship over
these institutions in the State of North
Dakoa. The great uncontrolled press
is one Of the great safeguards Of
Americanism. and yet in North Dako-
ia the press is absolutely controlled
by Townley.
In the address under review, it is
stated:
"Townley now controls in practical
| " every county in the State Of
North Dakota one or more county
newspapers, and these papers have
been and will be, Of course, designated
by the Printing Commission as the
official paper in which legal notices
shall appear. It is estimated that
this is in effect practically subsidy
Of from $200, 900 to $500, 900 to the
Townley newspapers. It is thought
that fully two-thirds of the indepen-
dent press Of the state will be driven
from business"
| And Townley and his Red friends
have arranged to control the public
school system Of the state, principals
ly for the dissemination Of Radical
i teachings. In order to control the
schools, bill was introduced for the
creation Of Z Board Of Administrator
under whose control were placed III
