ALEXANDRIA, Va, March % (Spe-
eiaD "A measure relieving the Mount

ric Railway Co. Of its proportionate
cost of permanent improvements along
rs right-of-way in this city was adopted
BY the City Council yesterday. :.
The resolution was adopted to tighten
the burden of the railway company in
the proposed repaving Of seven blocks
of King street, which will necessitate
an expenditure of approximately $25, 900,
of which the railway would have had
to pay $1l ,480.
Gardner L. Boothe, president of the
company. assured the couI.cil that new
rails and ties would be installed, when
the repaving work is started by the
city. He said this would cost approx
mately $4,000.
An annual appropriation of $3.50 to
the State Anti Tuberculosis Society was
authorized upon presentation by City
Manager Paul Morton o. a request from
Miss Agnes Randolph Of the State body.
A resolution appropriating $4,000 Tor
additional expenses in the annexation
suit against Arlington County was
placed on first reading and held over.
The council voted to extend a sanitary
sewer to the 400 block Of North Fayette

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
BILL IS DEFEATED
MARYLAND House Kills Meas
ure Which Would Allow
Practitioners Fees.

BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March 22.-The
tables were turned on the so-called
Christian Science bill, which earlier in
the week received such a large favor
able vote on its second reading, when
the House of Delegates killed the meas
ure yesterday by vote of 66 to &c. fol-
lowing another prolonged and heated
debate. The bin would have author
lied Christian Science practitioners to
collect fee for their services to the
sick in Maryland.
Daniel C. Joseph of the fourth Bal
timore district, Democrat, made fer
vent plea for the passage of the bill on
the ground of religious tolerance and
incidentally took an opportunity to con-
denim the medical practitioners. On the
other hand, Delegate Frank G. Pur-
dunn of the third Baltimore district and
chairman of the hygiene committee,
which reported the bill favorably, said
that he believed that the 81 members
who voted for the bill on its second
reading did so out of kindness. He told
the Assembly that the State department
of health was opposed to the measure,
because it would destroy the control of
contagious diseases.
A. Percy White of WicQmico, John
G, Callan of Baltimore, Frederick Vol
land of Baltimore and George Blakiston
of Baltimore County also spoke strongly
in favor of the bill, IS did Louis Mel.
Merryman of Baltimore County, who
said he voted in favor of the measure
on second reading, but was voting
against it on final passage because he
found no way in which legal language
could be written into the measure so as
to protect ignorant adults.
