Power to Remove.
BOSTON, Dee 30.-The board of di-
rectors of the First Church of Christ.
Scientist, today announced the removal of
the remaining members of the board Of
trustees of the Christian Science Publish
ing society.
The trustees at the same time insisted
that they were still in office and that the
fact that their designations had been Of
fered to the supreme court placed juris-
diction solely in the courts hands.
The removal announcement was made
at the close of a hearing called by the
directors who demanded that the trustees
show cause why they should not be re-
moved. The trustees had been charged
by the directors with miSmanagement of
the affairs Of the Publishing society which
the supreme court held recently was sub
ordinate So the board of directors of the
Mother Church. The directors. the court
held, had the power of removal of the
trustees. The position of the trustees was
said to be that they have filed resignation
with the court in whose hands the matter
rests.
The directors asked the court to appoint
William L. Mckenzie of Cambridge and
George Wendell Adams and James L,
Patton of Boston to fill the vacancies in
the board of trustees.
Sherman J.. Whipple an attorney for
the trustees, suggested that il was within
the power Of the court TO appoint tcIa-
porary receiver to take charge Of affairs
until after a hearing had been hau On
their petition TO be allowed to resign.
Former GoverHorsJ ohm J.. Bates. counsel
for the directors, said the welfare of the
trust demanded new trustees.
Mr. Whipple charged that the directors
were not acting in good faith and with
malicious and revengeful motives were at
tempting to supercede the powers of the
court.
Judge Crosby remarked that the trus-
tees had right TO be- heard and that il
there was an opportunity the case would
be taken mp again today.
Mr. Mckenzie was formerly n trustee
Of the Christian Science Publishing So
ciety by appointment of Mrs Mary Baker
Eddy and edited Christian Science publ
cations.

of q class taught by Mrs. Eddy.
