CONCORD. X. II.. Dec. IT. (Special.)
The legal status of Christian Science
and the queatlon whether It la or ta not
contrary to public policy are to be ar
gued and decided In the l.'nlted States
Circuit Court here early next year. The
proceeding In an unusual one and coun
sel for both sides are hard at work pre
paring for trial.
The ault waa atarted when a bill In
equity waa filed In the United State
Court by Ir. K. J. Foater Eddy. Mrs.
Eddy's adopted ion. In which he aet up
the un clalma against the disposition
of the residue of the eatate to the di
rectors of the Boton Church for re
ligious purposes aa were aet up by
Corn W. Glover. Ura Eddy a aon. In
Ine atate court here.
Couniel for General Baker, executor
of the will, aet up a general demurrer
In the Federal Court, and also intro
duced an Interlocutory motlun to atop
Foater Eddy from going- on with the
raae. by reason of a family settlement,
to which be waa a party and In which
be agreed not to conteat any will which
Mr. Eddy might make.
The motion to remove the caae from
the court on thla ground was dented by
Judge Aldrlrh because the plaintiff al
leges that the family settlement waa
procured through "deception."
The Judge aays that there are ques
tions of fact to be determined and that
rr. Foster Eddy has a right to show
these facts If he ran. Judge Aldrlch
says further that the pleadings of the
plaintiff raise the queatlon whether
Christian Science, to the furtherance
of which the bulk of the estate is
willed. Is or Is not against public pol
Icy. In reviewing this phase of the
ease the Judge aaya:
"While not reciting all allegations In
respect to teachings and practice pre
sented by the bill. It la sufficient, for
the purpose of showing that the ques
tlon of public policy involved cannot
be determined aa one of the law. to Bay
that the plaintiff allegea that the prac
tice and teachings of Christian Science
are pernicious and hoattle to organised
society, and constitute a business whlc.i
U forbidden and made void by public
policy, by i he lawa of the land.
"II la. therefore, sufficient to eee
that there are allegations presentlr;
questions which cannot be ruled fa
rorably to the defendanta as a matter
of law upon demurrer. Thla results be
cause the question of public policy In
respect to Christian Science as pre
sected on the face of the bill cannot
be determined aa a pure question of
la sr.
"There Js now pending In the state
rourta of New liampahlre a proceeding
bv another heir which puta In Issue the
construction of the New Hampshire
statute limiting; church Incomes, and
the question whether the religion of
Christian Science contravenea the pol
icy of the state, and such questions be
ing question of local law. the decision
of the State Supreme Court would con
clude the questiona presented here. It
U further suggested that thla court
may well consider before entering upon
the main question whether It should
not wait the decision on the demurrers
In the Glover suit.
"We d- not feel free to accept that
vtew. The effect of the decision will.
It Is believed, open up for trial many
facts which those who are attacking
the will and religion of Mrs. Eddy have
been long fighting for an opportunity

NEW TORK. Dec. 17. (Special.)
The girl who started the famous shirt
waist strike by her rousing speech at
Cooper Union has found a haven after
two years of persecution by shirtwaist
manufacturers, she says. Miss Clara
Lemllch has been appointed a state fac
tory Inspector.
Miss Iemllch says that for her activ
ities In tho strike she has been turned
out of position after position, until It
waa well nigh Impossible for her to
earn a living for herself and the
parents and young brother dependent
upon her. The state appointment comes
as a God-send, she declares.

he aent me a postal card telling me I

have had scarcely any work."
Her new work Is to be the Inspection
of the shirtwaist shops under the state
factory law.
"I have not done any work yet." said
Miss Lemllch. "so I cannot speak offi

"There are 1400 shops where" women
are employed In New Tork City. In
the better class factories, that Is, where
sanitary conditions are good and the
state laws sre obeyed, the girls are
paid better wages, and are better treat
ed. About the bad shops there Is very
little. If anything, good to be said.
They treat their girls badly, and the

"It is almost certain ruin to a girl's
health to work In such shops. These
factories are located largely on the

ings, with low ceilings and dirty win
dows, dingy and badly ventilated. Nine
ty per cent of the girls who go to work
In these shops suffer In less than a
years time from ruined eyesight and
from diseases contracted there, the
largest number being: victims of tu
berculosis." The earnest little factory girl . who
has acquired the dignity of an Inspec

clared the law should be made more
rigid to meet new conditions.
"I do not Intend to advocate any such

RUSSIAN" PLEADS FOR JEWS
Semi-official Paper Declares for
Abolishment of Pale.
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 17. The
Russian Foreign Office declares that it.
Bahmtleff received from here no formal
protest against the abrogation of the
Russian-American treaty of. 1832.
Dispatches from Washington an
nounclng that tentative efforts to reach
an agreement on the passport question
were going on were published here yes
terday morning and appeared In the
newspapers last night and this morn
ing, unaccompanied by comment of any
nature.
With respect to those negotiations.
the Foreign Office has nothing to say,
considering that the responsibility for
the reports, which are of a divergent
nature, rests on those who sent them.
The semi-official Rossla prints a
signed article by the editor, who d.
dares against restrictive laws and In
favor of the abolition of the pale.
"Pro-government Russians," he says,
"cannot confine themselves to attacks
upon, and blind hatred for. the Jews.
nor senselessly repeat the saying. The
Jews will ruin Russia.' The Jews have
not ruined Polish or Little Russian cit
ies, and they will not ruin Russian
ones.
"The solution of the question, which
la the most Important now facing the
Government, canot be deferred eternal
ly. We cannot leave millions of people
to roast In their own Juice. The pale Is
a low economic state, dreadful In Its
unsanitary condition. If Russia has too
many Jews, she must assist In their
emigration, but the possibility of emi
gration Is restricted by measures
adopted by the British and American
governments and would be further dl
mlnlshed by the abrogation of the
treaty of 13:."
JEWELS RUDELY STOLEN
THIEVES TEAR GEMS FROM
WOMAN'S EARS AND FIXGERS.
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch Angry
at Mayor On j nor for Instructing
Police to Wink at Hoys
Playing In Streets.
NEW TORK. Dec. 17. (Special.)
Discussing "Rowdyism In American
Cities" at the club' rooms of the
Women's Political Union. 46 East
Twenty-ninth street. Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Blatch deplored lawlessness of
American college boys and that of the
"less educated boys in Wall street."
Mrs. Blatch pointed out particularly
to her fellow suffragists the antics of
students at Cornell which had come
under observation, and Mrs. Pank
hurst's experiences at Harvard.
Part of the eo-called lawlessness
was atributed by Mrs. Blatch to the
"race assimilation process" going on
In the United States. Mrs. Blatch was
considerably worked up over the sub
ject. "There is nothing like It In all
Europe," said she.
The speaker found some fault with
the way New York's public schools are
conducted, and scored Mayor Gaynor
for Instructing policemen to "wink" at
boys playing ball in the streets. Airs.
Blatch was particularly aroused about
thla.
Football Hits Woman.
"Why, ladies. I was knocked down
once In the street by a football kicked
by a 20-year-old boy," said Mrs.
Blatch. "Think of It! True, the one
who kicked the ball didn't hit me by
design; but. dear me. one can never
telH where a ball will go! Not long
ago a woman carrying a baby In the
atreet was struck by a batted
ball and was knocked down. The ball
came so close to the baby's head that
It bent the little vizor of Its bonnet.
Every Monday we read In the papers of
rowdies arrested In the streetcars and
In the elevated and subway trains.
Tv'ow, what did we hear a few
months ago when the boy who couldn't
play ball In the street wrote to the
Mayor? What waa tho Mayor's reply?
It wae one of driveling emotion. He
was so profoundly sympathetic for the
boys, and he was so devoutly sorry
that they had been stopped from play
ing ball In the streets, and he would
tell the policemen to give 'a great big
wink' at such doings hereafter.
'.My dear ladles." continued Mrs.
Blatch. "I affirm that Mayor Gaynor's
attitude helped to train those boys in
the school of lawlessness. If Mayor
Gaynor had been knocked down in the
street, as I waa. or If he had lost the
sight of an eye from a batted baseball,
as a woman that I know did, he might
take a different view of such a situa
tion.
Gilbert Parker Brought Up.
"Gilbert Parker, the English novel
ist, has reluctantly said in an Inter
view that, although we have a less
bitter Industrial situation confronting
us than England has, we are more
given to lawlessness. He spoke of the
McNamara dynamiting, but he did not
llude to that, but to that deed of
chivalrous American men that tarring
and feathering act recently perpetrat
ed out est.
Mrs. Blatch went on to say that
American men and women parents In
the majority of cases are guilty of
"moral lesion" In that they themselves
glory In their attitude, which Is one of
wilful unconcern to matters of good
government and private conduct. Then
she went on to point out the superi
ority of English women to their
American sisters in this respect, and
ended In an eloquent plea for woman
suffrage, which she said was th'e only
olutlon of a National evIL American
men. she said, are generally Interested
In things that Interest women, and) If
the men are to be Interested at ail It a
got to be because of the women.
Before she at down Mrs. Blatch
pleaded for more playgrounds. They
are great factors In solving the prob
lem of rowdyism, she said. They ought
to be on the rofs of public buildings,
courthouses, churches and railroad sta
tions, she insisted.
