CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
PUBLISHING HOUSE
UPHELD BY COURT
Suit Brought to Determine Con.
troll Of Publications Decided
Against Church Directors.

Boston, March 3.-(Chicago Trib-
une- Omaha Bee Leased Wire)-The
suit brought to determine the con-
troll of the various Christian Science
publications has been decided i'll
favor of the Christian Science Pub
lication society as against the con-
tention of the board of directors of
mother church. The findings in the
case were made by master in chan
cery to the supreme judicial court.
While the full report Is yet not
made public and the board Of direc-
tors asked in vain to have it kept
secret for time, it is understood
upon reliable authority that it COW
ers these points:
|. That the Christian Science>board
OF directors have never been legally
and formally elected by their church
body.
2. That the bylaws of the church,
what is known as the manual among
the church members, have not been
wholly and completely adopted.
8. That the board of directors has
no arbitrary right of supervision
over the whole Christian Science
movement, and that the effort to re-
move from Office Lamont Rowlands,
one of the trustees of the Christian
Science Publishing society, was
made in bad faith and is of no ef-
feet.
4. That the attempt. to remove
John V. Dittemore also was made in
bad faith, and that consequently he
still is and must remain a member
of the board of directors.
S. That Mrs. Annie M. Knott, iin-
properly appointed in his place, is
not, and never has been a director.
The suit is to determine the con-
troll of the various Christian Science
publications which circulate through
the world.

SOLDIER BONUS
HEARING CAUSES
ANOTHER FIGHT
Charges and Counter-Cha
Turn Session Into Vaude- !.
vile Show

Washington, March 3.-(Chicago
Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Charges and counter charges in
volving a row within the Private
Soldiers and Sailors Legion divert
ed the attention of the house ways
and means committee today from
the subject of soldiers bonuses and
turned the hearing into vaudeville
performance.
". Fl. Halpar, former secretary OF
the organization, but now a member
of the legislative committee of the
World War Veterans, started the
uproar by telling of his election
from the Private Soldiers and
Sailors Legion after he had at
tempted to oust Marvin Gates
Sperry as commander. Mr.. Halpar
said he and other members of the
executive committee had adopted
resolutions, ousting Sperry and had
changed the lock on the Office door,
but that the latter had been able TO
pay the $50 rent, whereas he could
not collect that much, and with the
landlords aid Sperry got possession.
Mr. Sperry then took the witness
stand. He declared the reason for
Halpar's expulsion was that he
found him to be "a rank socialist
and a member of the communist
party" He said he had discovered
a plot to turn the organization over
10 that party.
Criticizes American Legion.
Edward w. Hale, president of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the
United States, caused furry when
he criticized the American Legion.
Several members of the committee
came to the American Legion's de-
fense and pandemonium reigned for
time. Chairman Fordney declared
he would adjourn the hearings un-
less he could have order.
Mr.. Hale advocated the bonus bill
introduced by Representative John
son of South Dakota providing
bonus to all men of the army and
navy who served in the war for a
period of 90 days or more, either in
this country or abroad. The COM
pensation would be at the rate OF
$50 a month for the number of
months of service, with lump sum
of $l00 additional to those who
served overseas.
Opposition to proposed increases
of the army and navy and govern
rlent employees and to soldiers
bonus legislation was expressed by
Representative Madden of Illinois
today in a vigorous speech on the
floor of the house. As a member of
the republican steering committee
his views attracted more than ordi-
nary attention.
Mr.. Madden declared that those
on the public payroll who were un-
able TO stand up and join in the
movement to preserve the financial
integrity OF the nation" should get
out of the government service.
Discussing the proposed bond is
sue for bonuses for ex-service men,
Mr.. Madden asserted that the is
suancc of $200O,000.000 worth of ad-
ditional bonds would depreciate the
value of Liberty bonds now out
standing to rs cents on the dollar,

vote for ratification with the lodge
reservations.
The last word from the White
House, however, is that the presi-
dent is standing pat and that he is
determined to carry the fight into
the campaign. Senator Hitchcock,
the presidents spokesman in the
senate, is operating on this theory
and feels certain that there will be
TO immediate ratification.
Shantung Reservation.
The reservation disappearing the
Shantung deal was before the SEN
ate today, but no vote was reached.
This reservation brought on consid-
cradle discussion of the presidents
refusal to submit all data concern
ing the treaty negotiations to the
senate Senator Knox Of Pennsyl-
vania told the senate he had been
reliably informed that the data OF
all kinds which the president has
denied the senate is in the hands OF
at least one prominent attorney in
New York.
Some Sharp Passages.
Senate debate today on the peace
treaty developed some sharp pas
sages when it wandered into the
field of European politics.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
asserted that the old regime still
ruled in European courts and that
the stand of the allied countries
in the Adriatic controversy was only
another illustration that the new
day prophesied by President Wilson
had not come.
In reply, Senator Hitchcock, Ne
braska, the democratic leader, de-
clared that some European nations,
particularly Great Britain, had be-
come democracies, "in some cases
more responsive to public opinion
than is the government of the
United States"
Sycophant of Britain.
"The voice of an American has
become the pulling, mewling, mock
ing voice of sycophant of Great
Britain" Senator Reed, democrat,
Missouri, declared. 1T is the vice
of this treaty that has poisoned
the fountains of pure patriotism
for the senior senator from Ne
braska (Mr. Hitchcock). He stands

out for lark" said Doctor Gray
son. "He nejoyed the ride and |
am sure it did him world of good"
The president showed great in
terest in the Lincoln Memorial and
had the car stopped for few min
utes, as the structure has been
practically completed since he last
saw it five months ago. He asked
a number of questions about it.
From the speedway the presi-
dents party went through the cap
itol grounds. Senator Borah of Ida
no, one \of the treaty "irreconcila-
bles," spied the president and as the
car yassed he first waved his hand
and then DOTTED his hat, the president
acknowledging the greeting in a sim
liar manner.
II was impressed by the we'll ap-
pearance of the president and was
glad to see him looking SO well"
said Senator Borah afterward in re-
lating the incident and his surprise.
Throughout the trip the president
was i'll most jolly mood. chatting
constantly with Mrs. Wilson and
Doctor Grayson. He joked about
the different changes in the scenes
he saw and on one occasion jestcd
about a sign advertising pork at S.
cents pound.
Cost of Pork Causes Comment.
81 knew the cost of living had
scared, but did not know that pork
had reached that figure he said.
All along the route people were
quick to recognize the president. A
large group in front Of the Navy de-
partment building just before nooa
gave him a rousing cheer which he
smilingly acknowledged by waving
his hat.
1T was a perfect spring day that
Doctor Grayson picked out for the
presidents first ride since he was
stricken last September. The presi-
dent wore his famous ragged gray
sweater, a medium weight overcoat
and brown Fedora hat.
Doctor Grayson expects that the
president will now be able to make
daily motor trips except when the
Weath is severe or stormy.

In one bureau stenographers were
receiving $1,000 year, while in an
other bureau, which had been un.
able to impress congress with neces-
sites, stenographers doing identical
work were receiving $500.
Hundreds of employees were found
whose salaries had been boosted
from time to time. through political
influence in congress, to a point thai
enabled them TO cope comfortably
with present day prices while the
less influential employees had seen
the cost of living overtake and pass
their stipends. The salaries of many
classes of employees had not been
raised for 50 years, some not for
a century.
One of the recommendations was
