Criticism Made by Dr.
John H. Boyd.
RECORD OF CURES CITED
Respondent Dcolarre Many Critic
ally 111 8-rk Faith as Last llr
aort Remarks by Pastor
lir yarded Stranre.
The criticism of Dr. John II. Boyd
Bandar nlwht at the Flrat Presbyterian
Church on tha different achoola of
healing- that claim eplrltual authority
brought forth a reply yesterday from
Howard C Van Meter, Chrlitlan Selanca
committee on publication. Mr. Van
Meter wrlta:
Tbir are two points raited by Tr.
Boyd respecting; Christian Science that
need correction. First, that Christian
Scientists claim to hare tha power of
Christ, yet do not heal erery car, and.
secondly, tha cases healed through
Christian Science to be of a mlid type,
mainly of a nerroua nature.
"As to the first objection: When tha
Chrtst method Is referred to and
claimed by Christian Scientists. It
means tha application of exact and def.
Inlte knowledge of God tha knowledge
which Jesus possessed without measure
and which ha urajed upon his followers,
telilnr them In the words of John: "Ye
shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free.' Christian Scien
tists are enlaced In acquiring this
know!. dee through faithful study of
the Fib!e and the Christian Science
text-book. 'Science and Health, With
Key to the Scriptures." by Airs. Eddy.
They humbly acknowledge that they
tiara as yet only acquired a small de
cree of thla truth and can demonstrate
only what they understand, yet Mrs.
Kddy says: "Because you cannot walk,
on tha water and raise the dead, you
have no right to -question the a-reat
mlcht of dirlna aclence In these direc
tions. Be thankful that Jesus, who waa
tha true demonstrator of science, did
these things, and left bis example for
ua In artence we ran use only what
we understand. We must prore our
faith by demonstration.'
Critically 111 Apply.
"Christian Scientists rejoice In the
Master's statement. 'He that belleveth
en me. the worka that 1 do, shall he
do also. as a promise for all a see and
all people. A learned writer has said
toat to belters on me' meana to bare
more advanced reliance upon the
truth of the Maater'a teachings than
merely to believe on hla name' that
Is. that Jeeus waa tha Christ. Thla
advanced reliance cornea to tha Chris
tian Scientists with an Increased un
derstanding of the spiritual law that
was manifested In the Maater'a works.
That they axe not. perhaps, successful
with every rase may Indicate a lack
of understanding of this law or an
unwillingness on the part of the pa
tient to abide by the Christ demands.
It Is recorded of Jesus that In bla own
rountry 'he did not many mighty worka
there because at their unbelief.' Many
patients, after a long, unsuccessful ex
perience with tha old school of healing,
turn to Christian Science In the last
stagea of disease. If materia medlra
failed to heal such rass In their In
clplency. should the Christian Scientist
be blamed If la hla metaphysical study
he should not have yet gained auffl
rlent understanding to make It prac
tical? Nevertheless thousanda of so.
called hopeless casea have been re
stored: If not Instantaneously, at least
ultimately. Since no one la really
Sealed In Christian Science until an
awakened sense of God la eatabllshed
In their consciousness. It Is not strange
If Its anfoldment be gradual.
Cases Sot Reeerded.
"The second criticism Is that tha
majority of cases bealad through Chris
tian Science were of a minor, not seri
ous nature. This denomination doea
not especially record the detail of casea
healed. However, the Broadway Maga
zine two years ago made an Investiga
tion of a lrge number of cases of heal
ing, and publiabsd the following:
" These records (on file In office of
Christian Science committee on publi
cation. Metropolitan building. New
York City) give spsclflo and complete
details of ll.JTt casea treated by Chris
tian Science In the State of New York.
Of this number 11.144 pstlents acknowl
edged definitely that they were either
completely cured or permanently bene
fited by Christian Science. Four thou
sand eight hundred and ninety-five of
these patlenta were either given up by
physicians or bad despaired of receiv
ing relief from medical treatment. The
3611 cases remaining were still undsr
treatment. Incomplete reports being
made for statistical purposes. Of the
total number J died. .The records cover
practically every well-known human
disease or ailment. Many of the cures
date back over 20 years: the great
majority go back more than live years.
No testimony Is given so closely fol
lowing a cure thst there could be any
doubt of too hasty Judgment on the
part of the patient- The authenticity
and validity of these records are above
question.'
Criticises Called Strange.
"The testimonial meeting of our
church which Dr. Boyd must bava at
some time attended to obtain evidence
of the beallnga ha referred to may have,
perhaps. Included a number of the
lesser healings. I can aasure him that
If he should visit ns more frequently
he would hear of many remarkable
healings.
Tn conclusion I will say. It mast
appear paaalng strange to the non
churchgoer that If a church which Is
encouraging mankind to gain a full
aalvatlon from evil also Includes heal
ing, that It should thereby encounter
criticism from a Christian minister.
Rather ahould tbia extensive applica
tion of truth be welcomed and encour
aged by all wbo earnestly desire to
know the truth that Jesus said 'should
make you free.' "
MINSTREL PATR0NS MANY
Opening Kay of Seat gale Promise?
Success, to School IJojs.
Waiting In line for the opening of
the box office at the Bungalow Theater
yesterday morning, the crowd of peo
ple who sought to buy tickets for the
minstrel show to be given by the boys
of Lincoln llich Fchool. Friday and
Haturdsy. stretched out for more than
half a block. From the auspicious
tpenlnsr of the sales, the emateur min
strels are Inclined to believe that the
"S. It. O." sign will be In order long
before the date of the first show. A
matinee will be given Saturday after-
Boon. February S. In addition to the
two evening shows.
John K. Frsnk. late leading man of
the GoMer Girl company, baa been
coaching the chorus, and haa added an
effective professional touch to the work
of the II songsters who will appear
la the show.
"Delicate Dinah" la the hit song of
the extravaganza of that name, which
will constitute the seoond half of tha
programme, and Into which the novelty
dancing and musical stunts have been
built about the plot. "Delicate Dinah"
waa written by one of the members of
the troupe, and although several songs
straight from Broadway have been se
cured for the sketch, those who have
seen the rehearsals assert that the
rollicking waits melody of "Delicate
Dinah" is bound to be the popular
favorite of the evening.
Between the minstrel show proper
and the extravaganza, a novelty In
terlude will be Introduced, which la
so entertaining that the minstrels re
fuse to announce beforehand Just what
features will enter Into It, but declare
that It will be the "great piece of
the show."
An orchestra has been organized
from the musicians of the three high
echools of the city and has been re
hearsing with the minstrels regularly,
and Is In Itself one of the pleasing
features of the entertainment.

Police Seek to Solve ilyatery of
Secret Preparation Found In
Trunk With Stiurdered 3ran.
Governor Issue Papers.
With OI Sen, alleged murderess of
Eeld Blng, undsr arrest at Billings,
Mont, and officers en rout to take her
In custody, and with positive proof
that a diamond ring filched from the
dead man waa pawned In her name,
police activity In the caae bas cen
tered around the tracing of the mys
terious "sawdust" In which the body
was packed, and thla lead, when thor
oughly followed out. Is expected to
point direct to the person or persona
wbo premeditated the murder.
Experts pronounce It Inconceivable
that the preparation was used In pack
ing the body of Seld Blng, without ex
pert advice in advance, and they also
say that the planning of the use of the
preparation and obtaining -It must
have been the work of several days.
While the detectives assert their abil
ity to fasten the crime on the woman
without further evidence, the tracing
of the preservative may be essential
to establishing premeditation and flrat
degree murder.
Secret Preparation Baffles.
When Starfas, the expressman, found
In his wagon after he moved to the
railroad station the trunk holding the
dismembered body of Seld Blng. what
he thought was sawdust, he observed
something to which the greatest Im
portance has since been attached. At
Seattle Detective Day found in the
trunk with the body a bulky package
of what ha also thought was sawdust,
but which undertakers pronounced a
remarkable secret preparation for
hardening animal tissue and prevent
ing the flow of blood. It Is much used
by surgeons In dissection and Is said
to have the property of producing an
almost Immediate stoppage of bleed
ing. From this the police argue that the
murderer must have contemplated the
crime and the method of disposing of
the body and then sought advice which
led to the discovery of the absorbent.
This Is manufactured at only one place
In the city and there la a good chance
that the purchaser may yet be traced.
Rlag la Ideal If led.
Four Chinese friends of the dead
man went yesterday to the office of
William HolL a money-lender In the
Washington building, and Identified as
the property of Seld Blng a ring which
Ol Sen pawned for $120. the ticket be
ing In the poasesslon of the woman un
der arrest at Billings. Hoi! oould not
Identify the borrower from the picture
of Ol Sen shown to him. but as this
photograph was taken nearly 20 years
ago when she waa about If or 18 years
old. the detectives believe that he will
have no trouble In pointing out Oi Sen
as hla customer. An elevator attend
ant who conveyed her to Holl' office
on several occasions when she bor
rowed money. Is In the same situation.
Single-handed murder, purely from
avarice and committed by the woman.
Is now the theory of the police, who
are disposed to wait In the search for
accomplices till she haa arrived here
and the details are further worked out.
They argue that she ahowed great
strength when she dragged the heavy
trunk out to the expressman, refus
ing to let hlra enter the murder cham
ber, and that she Is fully capable, phy
sically, to have done It alone.
Ol Sen waa rearrested on a charge
of murder at Billings yesterday and
will be held for extradition. The nec
essary papers were Issued at Salem
yesterday and Detective Day left last
night for Helena, where he will place
hi warrant In tha hand of the Gov
ernor and then proeeed to Billings.
COFFEY NAMED RECEIVER
Financial Affair of Northwestern
Phone Company to Be Eyed.
John B. Coffey, Police Commissioner,
was yesterday appointed receiver of
the Northwestern Long Distance Tele
phone Company by Presiding Judge
Gatens. He furnished bond lis the sum
of 135,000, and entered upon bla duties
Immediately.
The appointment of a receiver re
sulted from the Intervention of Charles
E. Sumner, of San Diego, a minority
stockholder, as a defendant In a suit
brought by the Title Insurance & Trust
Company, a California corporation, to
foreclose on the property of the tele
phone company because of the non-payment
of Interest on bonds, Sumner
charged that P. L. Willis, William A.
Mead and associate control both the
telephone company and the Title In
surance St Trust Company, and were
conspiring to turn the property of the
Northwestern Long Distance Telephone
Company over to the Bell Interests. In
this connection It was charged also that
a San Francisco bank, which now holds
tha majority of the bonds and stock
In behalf of an undisclosed principal.
Is really the agent of the Bell Interests.
Mr. Coffey said yesterday that one of
bla first acta will be to ascertain If
the company ha Illegally been made
responsible for liabilities. Colonel Sum
ner declares that the National Securi
ties Company owes the long distance
company Ms.000. that $120,000 worth
of bond were Issued Illegally, and that
there are other Instances of gross mis
management on the part of the Willis
Mead Interests.

TJSE OP EPITHET.
After Talks) With Picket Magistrate
Defer Decision on Term
Until Friday.
Brought face to face with hl recent
ruling that the term "acab" la abusive
when applied to men who continue in
their placea when a strike Is callea,
Judge Taiwell showed signs of weak
ening in cases brought to a conclusion
vesterday. and announced that he would
defer his decision until next Friday.
At the same time he adverted to private
conversations held by him with some
of the defendants since the trial began.
In which they made counter-complaints
against the workmen, and which appar
ently will go to Influence him In reach
ing his decision.
Six strike pickets from the Brook
lyn shops were on trial for disorderly
conduct The undisputed evidence
showed that they, being part of a mob
of more than 20, had followed numer
ous old employes of the company from
the shops a dstance of nearly half a
mile, shouting "scab," and putting their
hands to their mouths to conoentrate
the sound. The defendants did not deny
this, but stood upon their asserted
right to do so within the law.
It was In the course of this trial that
the court announced a previous decision
that tha term was obnoxious when not
applied to professional strikebreakers
or deserters from the union, but. al
though the complainants were shown to
belong to neither of these claases, the
ruling waa not carried out when attor
neys had concluded their arguments.
The magistrate announced that there
were some points he wished to reflect
upon farther.
Some of the defendants, In the course
of the trial, approached Judge Taxwell
privately and told him that one of the
complainants against them had been an
aggressor on previous occasions. Al
though this subject was not brought
forward in open court, the judge re
ferred to it from the bench yesterday.
Issues were sharply drawn In the
argument of the case, the attorney for
the defense asserting with heat that his
clients were within their rights when
they followed and hooted the men who
refused to come out with them on the
strike. He challenged the railroad at
torneys to go Into the Circuit Court
and obtain an 'Injunction.
Much stress was laid on the fact that
the police, who were esoortlng the
workmen, saw no occasion to make ar-
rqiis, imiwmp - -
of the policemen admitted to his charges
mat ne wouiu
on Washington street.
Since Judge TasweU'a limitation of
the use of the epithet was publicly
made, he has dismissed one case where
a picket yelled "scab" at an old work
man, and has the present one under
advisement.

In League to Rob Department
Stores Five Caught.
When C. -A. Beckman, a clerk In the
employ of Meier & Frank, yesterday
caught a lad 12 years old stealing a
gold bracelet from the Jewelry de
partment of the store he started de
velopments which led to the discovery
that a band of boys, between the age
of 12 and 14, all pupils of the Falling
school, In South Portland, had or
ganized themselves to pilfer from the
department stores of the city. Three
boys have been sent to the Detention
Home and two more are to be arrested.
Several others will be called as wit
nesses. The young culprits will come
before Juvenile Judge Gatens next Sat
urday morning.
Tha boy who was discovered made
confessions Implicating other lads. Mr.
Beckman went to the Juvenile Court
and swore to a complaint against his
captive and another lad. On the way
back to the store he met a couple of
boys who offered to sell him electric
flashlights and on examining them he
found they had come from the Meier
Frank store. He succeeded In "col
laring" one of the lads and took him
to the Juvenile Court. The other got
away, but his Identity was discovered.
The boys, according to the Juvenile
Court officers, started on their pilfering
campaign Saturday. They are believed
to have a great many articles cached,
as complaints have come from E. P.
Charlton & Co. as well as from Meier
& Frank. The boys were absent from
school yesterday because examinations
are now beiri held and they are not
seeking promotion. They confessed
having stolen flashlights, scissors,
bracelets, chains and rings and prom
ised that the articles will be returned.

THE OHLYBEMEDY
FOR BLOOD POISOf
' S. S. S. la tie one and bnly reliable and certain cure for Contagious
Blood Poison. This claim is not based on the treatment ol a few cases of
the disease, here and there, but its euccesa extends over a period of more
than forty years, during which time thousands upon thousands have found a
cure by the use of this great vegetable remedy. S. S. S. is first of all, an abso
lutely perfect blood purifier, able to go down into the blood and remove every
particle of the virus of Contagious Blood Poison. 1 1 cleanses and purifies the
circulation, and in this way removes the cause of the trouble. Then nature,
assisted by a rich, healthy blood supply, quickly renovates and renews the
system, while the symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, skin eruptions,
discolored splotches, falling hair, cores and ulcers, etc., disappear, leaving
the body entirely free from the effects of this insidious poison. When S. S. S.
has thoroughly cleansed and purified the circulation there is no danger of
any future outbreak the blood Is pure and the cause of the disease entirely
removed. Home Treatment Book containing many valuable and helpful
suggestions for those who are curing themselves with S. S. S. , and any medical
advice desired 8ent free to all who write.
