CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST
CASE is TAKEN UNDER
AMUSEMENT BY JUDGE

Boston. December 20.-At the con-
clusion of arguments today, Judge
crosby OF the supreme court took I'M
der advisement the petition of Her
bert w. Eustace and Paul Harvey.
trustees of the Christian Science
Publishing society, for an injunction
to restrain the directors of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist (mother
church,, from removing them. Sher-
man |. Whipple, counsel for the
trustees, argued that the directors
had no power to remove the trustees
because the latter had rendered their
designations to the court and had
asked the court to appoint their sue
cessors.
Judge Crosby remarked that he as
sumed that the directors power to
remove a trustee was indicated In the
recent decision of the supreme court
on the prolonged litigation between
The trustees and directors, which held
that the directors had acted within
their rights in removing Lamont
Rowlands as a trustee. Mr.. Whipple
replied that the situation had been
changed by the resignation of tho
trustees.
For the directors former Gov. John
]. Bates contended that the trustees
were Indifferent to the best inter-
ests of the church and were with
holding their designations until they
could get a whitewash" of their
acts as trustees. He charged that 1t
was the purpose of the trustees to
start fresh litigation that might be
prolonged for years.

waterway delivery in the south of a
variety of mill products.
Some time ago this concern was
successful in making deliveries via
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to
Evansville, Louisville and St Louis.
This encouraged to waterway invasion
to the markets further south. A large
tow of steel products is now on the
way to New orleans.

upper floor, where domestic science
will be taught, will be fitted up with

In addition to the other departments,
there are shower baths and dressing

such foods as are needed by, and as
will best conserve, the health of the
