five times for bladder trouble
Her patient used to double up and

TRUSTEES DENY REsIGNING.
Christian Science Dispute May Get Into
Courts Again.

BOSTON. Nov. 26.-Developments in
the Christian Science case yesterday
brought out the possibility that in spite
of the recent decision Of the supreme court,
following more than two years of litiga-
tion. technicalities over the question of
choosing the successors. to the present
trustees may again throw the matter into
the courts. The directors. however, ex-
pressed the feeling last night that the
matter would be settled amicably by res
ignationS of the trustees. +-
During the afternoon the trustees is
sued a somewhat ambiguous statement to
the press in which they announced their
willingness to abide by the ruling of the
court and their determination to cooper
ate with the directors in the appointment
of their successors. 1t was generally ac-
cepted that this constituted a recognition,
and was 50 announced in an afternoon
paper.
This Interpretation was emphatically
denied by Herbert w. Eustace. president
of the board of trustees. who pointed out
that the following provisions of the deed
of trust under which they functioned the
body was self-perpetuating, subject to
ratification by the directors. That being
the case. Mr.. Eustace said, there was no
one legally qualified to receive their res
ignationS. and if their offices became sim
ultaneously vacant the matter would re-
vert automatically into court again. He
added that while the trustees hoped to
work in harmony with the directors, they
would retain their positions until success
SorS were chosen.

INSURANCE COMPANY
MUST PAY AWARD
County Court Decides in Favor of ste
phen Morgan of Windham in Ap-
peal from Compensation.

In decision of the W.indham county
court, just made, the Travellers Insur-
ance Co. loses in its appeal from the
award of John S. Buttles, commissioner
of industries: in the case of Stephen Nor
gan of Windham against Fred Bouseley,
John \. Gould. the Travellers Insurance
Co. and the Vermont Marble Co. the dee
cision of the commissioner being sus-
tanned. Attorney O. b. Hughes was coun-
sci for Mr.. Morgan antl Barber, Barber
& Miller for the Insurance company.
Mr.. Morgan sustained an injury to his
left eye April %, 1920, by accident aris-
ing out of his employment. He was to-
tally disabled from work until July 10,
1920, also lost the sight of the eye. His
average wage was in excess Of SO a week.
At the time of the injury he was en-
gagged in telling trees and converting
them into logs on the property of the
Vermont Marble Co in Windham For
many years the c0mpanys operations in
Windham have been conducted by the
defendant John A. Gould, and the cutting
in 1919-1920 was done under an oral con
tract as usual. The chopping and haul
ing to the mill We're done by Fred
Bouseley and men hired by him and
working under his direction. one of whom
was the claimant, Mr.. Morgan. who was
working under Bouseley's direction at the
time of the accident.
Bouseley had contracted with Gould
to cut and haul the logs to the mill.
Gould with men hired directly by him
did the saving and hauling to the cars.
There We're two contracts, one between
the Marble Co. and Gould, and the other
between Gould and Bouseley. Gould
agreed with the Marble Co to carry
workmens compensation insurance and
had such policy with the Travellers In
Surance Co. In the courts finding of
fact it says: Morgan was undoubtedly
injured by accident arising out of and in
the course of his employment The ques-
ton is: Who was his employer?"
The court finds that Gould was the
employer within the meaning of the
workmen's compensation law. 1t is
therefore oTNered that the Travellers In
surance Co or in its default, John A
Gould. pay not to exceed 500 for surgi-
cal and medical services and further pay
the claimant $3.50 week for the period
of total disability, also at the same rate
for a period of 100 weeks from July 10.

loss of vision of one eye.
