MEMBERS SUE
CHURCH OVER

Suit Is Entered Against Con-
gregation of Life
and Joy

Disagreement among the mem
bers of the congregation has re-
suited in the filing of a suit in the
District Supreme Court by E. E.
Schooley and twenty-nine others
claiming to be the original founders
and organizers of the Church of
Life and JOY, with headquarters in
the Playhouse, 1914 N street north
west, against Bertram M. Dim
mick, Ada Rainey, the Church Of
Life and Joy, the National Science
of Truth Association, the Riggs
National Bank, and four others, for
a rule to require them to show
cause why a receiver should not be
appointed for the property Of the
church, the sale Of it's real estate
and the disposal of the proceeds.
Represented by Attorney Robert
II. Mcneil, the plaintiffs allege that
the defendants are the holders in
trust of $1,000 cash and also of a
note for $500 of one Henry H.
Austin, secured by a third trust on
the Playhouse property. The
plaintiffs ask that the Riggs Ma
tional Bank be restrained from pay
ing to the defendants the $4,000
cash and to deliver up 10 them the
$500 note and they also request
that the defendants be enjoined
from receiving either the money
or the note.
The plaintiffs declare that the
defendants have usurped the rights
and property of the Church OF
Life and JOY.

SHORES Deaf H
GLUE" FOUND
FUTILE
Francis RieI Had Told Soldier
He Had Been at Hospital
at Time

Failure again marked the efforts
of Washington police yesterday to
solve the mystery surrounding the
death of Russell Shores, Walter
Reed Hospital sentry, who was shot
to death the night Of October 81
1924.
Nothing materialized from the
investigation which followed the
arrest of George w. Underhill, a
private attached to the medical
unit of the hospital, and Francis
Leon Riel, a former patient, who
were held on liquor charges.
Police said at the time the two
were arrested that Underhill &C
cused Riel of knowing something
about Shores DEATH" Last night
they explained that the misunder
standing arose when Riel identified
himself to Underhill by saying che
had been at Walter Reed when
Shores was killed.
Following the investigation yes
terday, Underhill was turned over
to the authorities at Walter Reed
while Riel was arraigned in police
court today on a charge Of in
toxication.

To WORK
Harvard Experimenter Tells
of Success Attained
With Two

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. March l.
Lazy college students can be hypno-
tized into winning Phi Beta Kappa
keys. ~,
This announcement came today
from e. d. Hutchinson, graduate
student Of psychology at Harvard
University.
Hutchinson pointed with pride to
a lazy fellow student he hypnotized
Into great scholastic zeal. Another
was inspired to compose a poem
after being put to sleep by the ex'
perimenter.
Both experiments have convinced
Professor William McDougall, OF
the department or psychology, al
Harvard, that Hutchinson idea
may result in a new era in uni
.versity education.
Post-hypnotic experiments have
convinced him, Hutchinson said
that hypnotism is NOT harmful. He
said the public had a false idea OF
the subject because stage hypnotists
usually made buffoons Of their sub
jects.
Hutchinson puts his lazy subjects
into the inspired class by waving
q white object before their eyes and
putting them to sleep.
