CONFEREES WORK
ON "EXTRA-TERRI-
TORIAL RIGHTS
China Wants the System
Abolished Altogether Al
though the Delegates Of
That Country Indicate
Doubt About Ability Of
China's Judiciary Ma
chinery to Fill the Breach

Washington, D. c., Nov % tby tne
Associated Press The arms CONFER
ence discussion of far eastern ques-
tions shifted to-day to the possibility
Of abridging the system Of aextra-ter-
ritorial rights under which the pow
ers maintain their own judicial agen-
cies in China for the trial OF cases IN
which their respective nationals are IN
volved.
China wants the extra territorial
privilege abolished altogether, although
her delegates have indicated doubt
whether the present judicial machinery
Of the Chinese government would
make it possible to withdraw the 1or-
/ eign tribunals Immediately All the
other nations concerned have expressed
hope that something can be done to-
ward modifying the present. system
but have evidenced in the main feei-
ing that nothing of very sweeping
character in that direction Is warrant
ed just now.
The session of the nine delegations,
sitting as a committee OF the wnoie
to discuss the tra-territoriaiity
problem, was the only meeting OF the
conference or its subdivisions on tor
davis program, the questions Of land
and naval armament having again
gone into temporary eclipse while ex-
perts prepare their opinions as to de-
tails.
Meantime the clash OF opinion be-
tween the Chinese and some OF the
British spokesmen over the meaning
of the four Root principles continued a
subject of speculation in conversations
among individual delegates. The ques
tion of interpreting the Root princi
fples has not yet come directly before
the sessions Of the conference, how
ever, and may not be raised formally
until the discussions reach point re-
quiring application of the principles to
specific cases.

CHURCH DIRECTORS
W'IN FULL VICTORY
Supreme Court Sustains Power of Di
rectors of Christian Science
Church.

Boston, Nov. 25.--The directors of
the Mother church of Christian science
are supreme. The long-awaited decis-
ion of the full bench of the supreme
court Of Massachusetts came down late
Wednesday giving to the directors
complete victory in the fight between
them and the trustees of the Christian
Science Publishing society.
For whole year now the question
has been in the hands of the court. For
a year prayers all over the world have
risen. For a year the breach has been
widening in the church, and even here,
rumor says, broken friendships have
been many among individual members.
The whole decision, broadly, is this:
All that Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy
did create, whether deed of trust, or
other thing, was a part Of great re-
ligious conception, which are all con-
trolled by the board of directors, which
she makes the governing power OF her
church.
Particularly, the decision Of the full
court does these things:
/. Directors govern church.
2. Directors can remove publishing
society trustees.
3. Directors had legal right to re-
move Lamont Rowlands as trustee.
4. Attorney General Aliens sugges-
.tion denied, viz, that court appoint
own trustees to run all Christian sci
ence property on ground it all con-
stitutes public charitable trust.
5. Kranthoff appeals dismissed.
o. Question whether John V. Ditte-
more or Annie M. Knott is director
Of church left open, as that issue is
raised by Dittemore in separate suit
not yet decided
r. Injunction that has been in force
against directors nearly two years null
lilied.
