CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

John seeth Jesus coming unto
him, and saith, Behold the Lamb
of God, which taketh away the
sin of the world" These words
from the Gospel of John are the
Golden Text in the Lesson-Ser-
mon on Doctrine of Atonement'
on Sunday in all branches Of The
Mother Church, The First Church
of Christ, Scientist, in Boston,
Massachusetts.
A Scriptural selection in the
Lesson-Sermon cites the verses
from John: "These words spake
Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to
heaven, and said, Father, the hour
is come; glorify thy Son, that thy
Son also may glorify thee: 1
have glorified thee on the earth:
S have finished the work which
thou gavest me to do And now
am no more in theworld, but
these are in the world, and I come
to thee. Holy Father, keep through
thine own name those whom thou
hast given me, that they may be
one, as we are
One of the correlative passages
from Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, includes the state
ments: "Atonement is the exem-
plification of mans unity with
God, whereby man reflects divine
Truth, Life, and Love. Jesus OF

mans oneness with the Father
and for this we owe him endless

AUTO LIABILITY
Law TEST SUIT
due HERE TODAY
Drivers Seek to Enjoin
D. C. Traffic Heads

A suit designed to determine the
extent of the suspension powers Of
the District Commissioners and
Traffic Director William A Van
Duzer under the Districts finan-
cial responsibility law was filed to-
day in United States District
Court.
Byron G. Carson, attorney for
the Columbia Cab Association,
instigated injunction proceedings
against the District officials on
behalf of Is drivers in the asso-
citation.
Traffic Director Van Duzer's de-
mand for the surrender not only
of the taxicab license plates and
operation permits, but also the
registration cards and operators
permits of the Individual drivers,
precipitated this action.
Follows Court Decree
Van Duzer's d ands were
made under his Interpretation Of
the comparatively rev District
law after a Judgment had been
rendered against a number Of the
association members in a Munici-
pay Court suit as the result of a
traffic accident a year ago.
Carson said that in the suit IS
of the association members were
named, but only eight we're served
with papers by the United States
marshal. The judgment, he said,
was rendered against these eight
drivers.
The court proceedings will be in
the nature of test suit to deter
mine whether the District officials
have power to enforce the same
punishment against the Is men,
bers of the association who were
not involved in the suit as they
have against the eight served de-

Horst said was demanded by tele-

seized.
Mrs. Regan told Crowley Donald
was born to her January 6, 1885,
and named DR.. John A. Rose, the
same physician Mrs. Horst had
said delivered the baby to her,
as the attending doctor.
What had appeared to be a
kidnapping soon threatened to be-
come an immensely involved legal
battle as to the actual parentage
Of the child. Mrs. Horst, informed
Mrs. Regan claimed the baby, in
dignantly declared:
"Of course the baby is mine.
Why was $4,000 ransom de-
manded if we weren't the
parents?"
INSISTS CHILD is HIS
Horst said:
"The child is my son, and 1
would be glad to take any kind
of a test to prove it. The story
that he isn't mine is ridiculous"
RANSOM DISPUTED
Whether any ransom was de-
manded was another matter in
dispute. Mrs. Horst. frantic with
grief, declared the $4,000 was de-
manded soon after the Snatch"
by telephone. Mrs. Regan, how
ever, Indignantly denied this, de-
claring:
"That StOry's a fake. The boy
was born to me at Ewert's home
lin ChicagO). We tried to get
him back, and that's all there Is
to it,"
The child, who was taken from
the Regans Immediately, was being
cared for at the State attorneys
office pending a decision as to
parentage or rightful custody.
Both Have Strong Claims
Both women appear to have
much evidence that Donald is their
son. The Horsts have produced a
birth certificate showing them to
be the parents, but their original
as to where he was
born weighed against them.
DR.. Rose. who was telephoned at
Batavia, N. Y, where he is visiting,
appeared to favor Mrs. Horst's
claims, but authorities thought
there might be ambiguity in his
statement that the child is def.
nitely Mrs. HorSt'S."

CAPTAIN FAILED
TO ORDER PUMP.
SAYS SURVIVOR.
No Orders Received as
Ship BIazed, He Ayers

No orders to turn on the water
pumps were received in the engine
room from the captain of the
. steamer City Of BALTIMORE, which
burned Thursday night shortly
after leaving Baltimore for Nor
folk, Robert Mel, second assistant
engineer testified today. Mel was
a witness before the board Of In
quiry investigating the fire, which
cost three lives.
This testimony, which conflicted
with that given previously by Capt.
Charles Brooks, who said he did
give orders to start the pumps,
was reiterated several times by Mel
under cross-examination. Mel said
his first knowledge of the fire came
when another sailor ran into the
engine room and cried:
There's q hell Of a fire on
deck"
STARTED PUMPS, HE SAYS
Mel said he looked at the clock
and 1t was 1880 p. m. Immedi-
ately he started the pumps, and
then reported to. the bridge,
through the speaking tube, that
there was a fire. The quarter
master replied:
eyes, we know about it."
A few minutes after this, Mel
continued, the chief engineer en-
tered the engine room and re-
ported the fire. Mel testified he
received five orders from the
bridge. They came in the follow
ing manner:
Slow down engines.
Stop the engines.
Give full speed ahead.
Half speed astern.
Stop engines.
The engineer said that when
he stopped the engines he felt a
bump that shook the ship as
though it had rammed something
It was brought out in the investi'
CATION that the steamer Arkansan,
which was the only ship that went
directly up to the burning City
of Baltimore, had rammed the
vessel.
Handed Life PreServer
Mel testified it was approx
mately 10 minutes from the time
he received the first report Of the
fire until he left the engine room.
He said he left after one Of the
oilers handed him a life preserver
and yelled:
"Get this on. We've got to
20. The ships gone"
Then he locked the throttle and
went on deck. He expressed the
belief that the failure to get
water from the fire hose was due
to the fact that the Sprinklers
were going strong and therefore
had reduced the water pressure.
Earlier, Raymond G.. Slaherty,
purser, testified he first knew of
the fire when he heard the alarm
about 7:30 while he was in his
room. He said he went to the
cabin saloon and found about Is
or 20 passengers there.
He gave them life preservers, he
continued, and told them to put
them on and go to the forward
part of the deck, stay there unless
the fire came too close, and then
jump. The purser said there were
40 passengers aboard the ship. He
explained that he did not have
their addresses, since it was the
custom of the line to take only
their names.
