SCIENCE
| ARGUMENTS ENDED
Petition Of Trustees for In.
junction Against Directors
of Mother Church.
By the Associate Press.

| By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, December 21.-At the
! conclusion OF arguments yesterday.
Judge Crosby Of the supreme court
took under advisement the petition of
Herbert w. Eustace and Paul Har-
vey, 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 trus-
tees, argued that the directors had
no power to remove the trustees, be-
cause the latter had rendered their
asked the court to appoint their sue
cessors.
Changed By Resignation.
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 betwaHn n
the trustees and directors. which held
| that the directors had acted within
lands as trustee. Mr.. Whipple re-
piled that the situation had been
| changed by the resignation Of the
trustees.
For the directors former Gov. John
L. Bates contended that the trustees
| were Indifferent to the best interests
of the church and were withholding
their designations until they could
"get whitewash" of their acts as
trustees. He charged that it was the
purpose Of the trustees to start
fresh litigation that might be pro-
longed for years.
Malice IL Charged.
Mr.. Whipple retorted by charging
malice on the part of the directors
and declared his clients were justified
in not resigning until their official
acts had been passed upon. Referring
to charges by the directors that the
trustees had wastefully used the
funds Of the publishing society, he
defended their payment to employees
Of amounts in addition to their fixed
salaries.
He said the payment Of $4,000 to
expert accountants had been made
necessary by the desertion of ac-
countants in the society's employ,
many of whom he asserted had gone
into the service of the directors leav-
ing their accounts in tangled shape.
Mr.. Bates challenged the trustees to
resign in open court. saying their
resignation could be accepted in If
teen minutes.

PAT HAD THE NUMBER o. K.
But There's Such Difference What
Street the Numbers On

Patrick O 'Connor, 2757 Croskey street,
has n good memory for numbers and
nobody knows where he lives better than
himself.
Pat celebrated the Irish peace treaty
yesterday. About 8 o'clock last night
he decided to go home. He remem.
bered with a bit of effort that he lived
at 1857. but that is as far ms his
memory went.
He walked and walked and walked
until he thought he must surely be near
home. He found number 2757 all right,
but It was 2757 Hemberger street in
stead of 2757 Croskey street. He
pounded on the door, but Mrs. Dora
Joseph refused to let him in.
This made Pat angry when he was
shut out of "his own house" so he
pounded some more. Finally he lost
his patience and threw demijohn
through the window. About this time
q patrol wagon appeared and took Pat
of to the hoosgow.
Today Pat promised never to drink
any more of that stuff" and to replace
the broken glass after Magistrate Price
had put him under n $500 bond to keep
the peace.
