CONTROVERSIES
OF CHURCH ARE
BEFORE COURT
Christian Science Church
Case Hinges on Questions
rs OF Law.

Boston,sNov. 29.-The controversies
within tho Christian Science church
came before the full bench OF the SUI
d5preme court of Massachusetts today,
for arguments on questions of law.
The disputed points largely repre-
scented exceptions taken to the find
sings Of Judge Frederic Dodge, who, as
master in the original suit brought by
the trustees of the Christian Science
Publishing society against the board
of directors of the church. sustained
the plaintiffs in their main conten-
tons.
Since the litigation began in March.
1919. it has assumed various phases
through intervening suits. but broadly
speaking the outstanding issue is
whether the authority OF the board of
directors Of the Christian Science
church extends over h trustees Of
the publishing society, which pub
fishes the Christian Science Monitor
and other church periodicals. Judge
Dodge held thattit did not.
The arguments will occupy the time
6of the court today and tomorrow, the
total of ten hours allotted being di-
vided among counsel
Six Cases.
B Although not consolidated. the
docket contains six cases, which were
Ito be heard in sequence. First to be
argued was the suit of the trustees of
8the Christian Science Publishing So
ciety against the directors of the
#Christian Science church. in which
THE plaintiffs ask that the respond
Bents be enjoined from interfering with
the affairs of the publishing society.
The trustees claim that under a deed
fof trust made by Mrs. Mary Baker
Eddy, founder of the church, they are
independents of control by the di-
Srectors, who, in the exercise of powers
(which they maintain are conferred
under another deed of trust made by
Mrs. Eddy and in conformity with the
plan of church government which they
smaintain was laid down by Mrs. Eddy
in the church manual. have sought to
remove lamont Rowlands from his
office as trustee.
Judge Dodge. who heard h evil
3dence, held that the directors did not
have authority to remove Rowlands,
and that such removal could be made
only by the concurrent action of the
directors and the first members of the
First Church Of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston (the Mother Church,.
The first members on January 10,
1901. adopted a bylaw transferring
all their powers to the directors, and
whether they can now regain their
former status is an issue before the
court.
Although a bill in equity brough,
by John V. Dittemore. who was re-
moved by the directors, to compe,
the latter to recognize him as a fellow
member of their board, was not fully
heard by Judge Dodge, he decided The
removal of Dittemore was illegal
This ruling is among the exceptions
taken by counsel for the directors tc

& to argue exceptions for the director:

given to counsel for the trustees

SIXINDICTMENTS
IN SUGAR :. TRIAL
Utah-1daho Co. Charged
With Excess Profit Of
l3.421 Cents Pound

.GE1A. l.r.L
Butte, Mont, Nov. 2I.-Following
indictments returned some time ago
In the states of Utah, Idaho and South
Dakota on charges of violations of the
Lever act, the Utah-Idaho Sugar COM
pany was indicted here today by a fed
eral grand jury on six counts which
allege selling Eof sugar at an excess
profit Of 13.421 cents a pound.
Three Grand Jury Indictments.
Three separate indictments were re
turned by the grand jury. the first
against the corporation, the second
against the. members Of the corpora
ton, the directors and officers, and
the third against the directors alone.
In all, the charge is essentially the
same-conspiracy to evade the pro-
visions of the Lever act.
According to estimate of S. W.
Kelly, chief special agent Of the de-
partment of justice in Butte, the ex-
cess profits of the company in Mon
tana alone during the period covered
by the indictments are estimated at
$4,000. The indictments charge that
the cost and lstribution price off, the
sugar totaled approximately $10.44 a
sack which was sold to wholesalers at
$23.881 Il hundred.
Direct conspiracy to evade the pro-
visions ofsthesIxever food control act is
chargedTin the first indictment. 1t is
alleged that between FEBRUARY 1, 1920
and April, 1920, the company sold its
sugar at 1888 a hundred pounds to
Wholesale grocers and jobbers. This
price was based on a cost of produc-
ton of 1914 a hundred with about 81
additional for sales and elivery.,

Of Mrs, Emile b. Hulin of Brooklyn,
n. T., whose petition to Intervene in
the suit OF the trustees against the
directors was denied by Judge Pierce
Of the supreme court. will argue that
Mrs. Hulin. VINO is n of The original
first members Of the Christian Science
church, should. become "a party to
the suit of the trustees. The conten-'
ton Of Mrs:Sflulin is that the church
manual is the sunaeme law Of the
Mother Church,; that the manual in all
members of the Mother Church., in
Guiding the first members and the
trustees Of the publishing society, and
that the manual controls the pro-
visions of all deeds of trust and other
written documents Of Mrs. Eddy
which may seem in conflict with it..
But if the powers of, the trustees are
broader than is provided by the
church manual, or if the directors
without joint action by the first mem
bers have not the power to declare
vacancies in the trusteeship, then Mrs.
Hulin asserts the right of the first
members to take such action as may
result in the effective exercise of the
powers of the directors in removing
trustees.
State Attorney General j. Weston
AllSI Will DISK tue COuTL ~ uCSldlC
that under the will Of Mrs. Eddy a
public charitable trust was created
when the First Church of Christ, Sci
, enlist, was established; that the trust
was organized and existed under the
usage and discipline of the church,
as set forth in the manual, for the
lpromotion and extension of the re-
ligion Of Christian Science. The at
torney general wishes all issues raised
in other suits tried out in his infor-
nation, as the multiplicity Of suits, he
says, will result ina great waste of
the substance Of the subsidiary char
table trust and a great loss to the
dominant charitable trust, the Mother
iChurch. Mr.. Allen further asks the
court to hold that the directors are
the governing body of the church and
have power to declare vacancies in
the trusteeships of the publishing So
ciety and to determine what literature
shall be published.
Other matters before the court are
the bills of Daisy and Edwin A.
krauthoff proclaiming the manual as
the supreme authority of the church.
and of the trustees of the publishing
society to restrain individual members
Of the Mother Church from influence
ing other members to cancel sub
scriptions to Christian Science publ
! cations.
