CDNTROVERSYGROWS
Churches May Exclude All Of
ficial Publications.
GENERAL VOTE IS ASKED
Action Aimed at Board of Trustees
of Publishing Society Bids Fair
to Accomplish Purpose.
XEW YORK, March 8. (Special.)
As part of the long standing contro
versy between factions of the Chris
tian Science church supporting and
ODposing the board of directors and
tlie manual of the mother church in
Boston, a movement has been set on
foot, it became known today, to ex
elude all official literature of the
church, including the Christian Scl
enre Monitor, the Christian Science
Journal and the Christian Science
Sentinel, from the churches and read-
inc rooms of the faith.
As an expression of congregational
sentiment on the proposition, which
is aimed at the beard of trustees of
the Christian Science Publishing
comDanv and is largely a result of
the litigation of the last 15 months in
the Massachusetts courts, the corpo
rate membership of 1S00 churches,
branches of the mother "church
throughout the world, have been
asked to cast their votes for or
against the exclusion policy.
Numerous Christian Science congre
gations in the United States have al
ready voted to exclude the denomi
nation's periodicals and are not per
mitting their distribution in their
churches and reading rooms, it was
admitted tonignt by George M. Davi
son, chairman of the New York state
Christian Science delegates, organ
ized February 7 in support of the
mother church.
Mother Chnrra Championed.
Mr. Davison said that wherever the
question of exclusion is being voted
on sentiment is overwhelmingly in
favor of the mother church and the
board of directors in the controversy.
Four New York churches, it became
known today, have at corporate meet
ings of their congregations decided
to exclude the publications. These
are tlie First chureh'of Brooklyn, and
the Second, Seventh and Tenth of
Manhattan. The First church of Man
hattan will vote on the question next
Tuesday night.
A conference of three of the largest
congregations- in Chicago has been
called for this week, at which it will
be decided if the entire membership ot
the faith in Illinois shall be called in
meeting to vote on the proposition.
The Oakand (Cal.) and the Portland
(Or.) congregations already have in
dorsed the exclusion policy.
Many other congregations, accord
ing to Mr. Davison of the faction sup
porting the board of directors and an
other ardent Christian Science fol
lower who may be said to represent
the trustee faction, have taken simi
lar action. Both concede that a ma
jority of the congregations balloting
are favorable to the mother church
and strongly opposed to divided au
thority, although the one speaking for
the trustee faction declares the schism
has now grown to such an extent that
the entire world structure of the
church is seriously imperiled.
Will ProvUlon Cited.
"The churches individually are not
handling the periodicals published by
the publishing society in Boston be
cause of the removal of those publi
cations from control of the board of
directors." Mr. Davison, who, as a
leader of the delegates, is fighting
control, said tonight. "The periodi
cals the Monitor, Sentinel, Journal,
Le Hcraut, Der Herold, and the Chris
tian Science Quarterly were given to
the mother church by Mrs. i,ddy.
founder of the faith, in her deed of
trust, which stated that the directors
should have control.
NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS
Alcazar.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
yHE plot In "Pretty Mrs. Smith" at
I the Alcazar is pretty closely ad
hered to and a real story Is provided
In which a much-married heroine in
order to forget a triumvirate of hus
bands goes to Palm beach and there
meets all three. Her present husband
is a Jealous cave man (played like
that by George Natanson), her first
husband, supposed to have been
drowned, la a sanctimonious clergy
man (and played like one by Detmar
Poppen) and her second husband, sup
posed to have committed suicide, is
a poet, an irresponsible vers libre,
bibulous chap and played just that
way by Lee Daly. The usual compli
cations peculiar to French farces take
place before the trio of husbands dis
cover their relationship, althougn
they are the best of friends and hob
nobbing together on social bouts. At
the end of It all we see pretty Mrs.
Smith reconciled to her third matri
monial acquisition, the cave man,
whom it apears she really prefers.
Pretty Mrs. Smith" serves to give
Mabel Wilber's admirers opportunity
to see her in an acting role one in
which the dialogue and bits of acting
outweigh her vocal offerings. She
sings three big songs, one of which
is interpolated from "Miss Spring
time" and one "Let Bygones Be By
gones, and another "Love has Come
to Live at Our House," which are
triumphs of melody and vocal beauty.
It is in her graceful, piquant and well-
defined sense of comedy that she ap
peals in this role. May 'Wallace
carries the real comedy of the piece
upon her comely shoulders, and
scores tremendously. Her every en
trance was the occasion for an out
burst of applause and one song spe
cialty "A Hundred Years From Now,"
she was kept coming back and com
ing back to sing additional verses,
timely, topical, pat verses, until she
smilingly had to imitate Ethel Barry-
more and say "there isn't any more,

kj sonorous, sparkling songs are the

four men, all clean cut, smart and
dapper in appearance, all smiling,
friendly-like and putting their songs
across with the assurance and poise
that come from experience; Each
is gifted vocally, a tenor, a light bari
tone, a deep baritone .and a .splendid
basso, and they sing themselves in
stantly into the affections of the
audience. Their material Is, for the
most part new, and one song arrange
ment, "I've Got the Rheumatiz Gee
Whiz," Is mirth provocative as en
acted and harmonized by the boys
from Texas. Their harmony adven
ture In a "Blues" song is delightful.
A clever maid, reminiscent of Pat
ricola and quite original, is Gertrude
Newman, a dainty jazz baby from
eastern vaudeville. Mies Newman
plays her own accompaniments some
of the time, steps quite deftly and
radiates a charm while she sings her
ragtime melodies. She has no con
trol over her eyes and they gesture
cleverly for her songs.
The Winton brothers, Dave, and
Harry, opening the bill, are a pair of
remarkable physical experts, excell
ing in balancing and feats of strength.
There is the charm of restfulness
and quite as well as agile grace and
skill to make this act stand out.
Bender and Meehan have a sur
prise finish to an act made up of
steps and chatter. "Drop us a line,"
they say, and props drop a line from
the flies, on which they proceed to
dangle and perform amazing things.
This part of their act is so novel it
warrants the big applause that fol

TRANSPORTATION DECLARED
GREATEST PROBLEM.
Member of Commission to Visit
England on Reopening Trade
Says Equipment Is Needed.
MOSCOW. March 8 (By The As
sociated Press.) M. Krassin, who, as
head of the bolshevik departments of
trade and commerce and transporta
tion will be a member of the commis
sion to visit England to discuss open
ing of trade with soviet Russia
through co-operative societies, de
clared today that the burning ques
tion in Russia was solution of the
transportation problem.
"We need immediate help of west
ern Europe by the delivery of loco
motives, repair material, equipment
and repair shops. Six years of war
have contributed to destruction, not
only of cars and locomotives, but of
shops, tracks, signal systems, bridges
and the entire equipment. The gov
eminent is now engaged In the re
construction of trackage and 3000
bridges have been rebuilt. :
, "Lack Of personnel, coal and naptha
and use of wood for fuel are a handi
cap. We shall keep up the military
transportation necessary until peace
has been restored. Then our first
duty will be distribution of food.
"Russia is prepared to pay for good
locomotives, machinery and repair
material. American locomotives are
desirable. Efforts will be made to
facilitate exportation.
"Statistics as to the exact amount
are not available, but there are large
quantities of hemp, flax, wool, , wheat,
butter and eggs, besides other com
modities. The harvests of 1915 and
1916 are in part untouched. Clothes
shoes, medicine and manufactured
articles are needed. The basis of pay

worked out pending economic rehab

HUSBAND SHOOTS RIVAL
Irate Spouse Jealous of Letter
lie Finds.
Louis Goedeck, One Hundred and
Ninth street and Gilbert road, fired
five shots last night at Claude Dunn
of One Hundred and Fifteenth street
and Gilbert road, and told the authori
ties that he had meant to kill Dann
because of the latter's alleged atten
tions to Mrs. Goedeck, a pretty matron
of 25 years. Four of the shots went
wild and the fifth hit Dann's shoul
der, penetrating his overcoat, but did
not injure him.
Policemen and deputy Bhenffs took
both men to the county jail, but re
leased them after Deputy District Atl
torney Deich had taken their state
ments. Goedeck says he found a let
ter which his wife, who is now in Cal
ifornia, had written to Dann.

SINISTER FEMINISM SEEN
Men of JJ. S. Losing Grip, Accord
ing to Cardinal O'Connell.
BOSTON, March 8. Growing weak
ness on the part of the men in the
country is developing a sinister fem
inism, Cardinal O'Connell told a gath
ering of men at the cathedral of the
Holy Cross last night. Man, as the
head of the house, he said, should as
sert his proper authority in the home.
Failure to do this, the cardinal as
serted, leads to a false feminism,
which, unless it is curbed in time, will
have disastrous results for humanity.
"The women are becoming mascu
line, if you please, and the men are
becoming effeminate. This Is dis
order." Cardinal O'Connell questioned how
a father could "look on and see hie
children, especially the girls, run
ning rampant without any consid
eration for modesty." "
FORMER ALASKANS ELECT
W. H. Downing Re-elected Presi
dent of Northern Society.
At the regular meeting of the
Alaska society last night in the as
sembly room of the Portland hotel,
the following new officers ' were
elected for the ensuing year: Mrs.
Claude Stott, vice-president; R. W.
Thompson, Lloyd Scott and James J.
Crossley, directors. W. H. Downing
and E. H. Collis were re-elected pres
ident and secretary - treasurer, re
spectively; Herbert Thorne was ap
pointed historian and Mrs. Edith
Tozier Weathered, publicity secretary
of the society.
A short programme, consisting of
songs by Miss Alice Johnson anil a
talk by James J. Crossley, former
United States district attorney .. of
Fairbanks, Alaska, was followed by
dancing, cards and refreshments.
WASHINGTON, March 8. Limiting
debate by consent the senate moved
swiftly today to reduce Its fight over
the peace treaty to basic Issues.
Four more republican reservations
were readopted, two without change,
while negotiations for a compromise
on article' 10 were pressed toward a
conclusion, apparently unaffected by
the renewed declaration of President
Wilson against any material weaken
ing of the treaty's provisions.
The president's letter, coming when
article 10 negotiations were declared
by one sponsor to have brought the
two sides "very near together," was
given different interpretations. But
democratic senators working for a
compromise continued their efforts,
telling their colleagues they felt free
to act since the executive did not
say he would pocket the treaty if it
carried compromise reservations.
Agreement Seemingly Near.
In the senate today the last of the
14 republican reservations, except
those relating to article 10 and league
voting power, were swept out of the
way and debate on the voting provi
sion begun. The four adopted related
to armaments, the economic boycott,
alien property and the labor section,
the latter being brought to a rollcall
without debate. -
While the article 10 negotiations
reached a point, it was said, where
adoption or omission of only a few
words stood in the way of .an agree
ment, leaders emphasized that the last
pull might prove the hardest and min
imized hope that enough senators to
insure ratification would be brought
into accord. It also was pointed out
that neither Senator Lodge nor Sena
tor Hitchcock had openly consented
to negotiations and that even if a bi
partisan agreement were reached it
might not command a two-thirds vote.
Wilson Letter Considered.
Senator Hitchcock described Presi
dent Wilson's letter as "illuminating."
Senator Lodge declined to discuss it.
and Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
leader of the irreconcilables. said the
president had helped insure the
treaty's defeat by throwing cold
water on compromise.
Democratic senators were quick to
see, however, that the, president did
not advise them to vote against ratifi
cation as he did last November, nor
promise to "pigeon-hole" the treaty if
it were ratified with more than inter
pretative reservations. They con
trasted it with his November letter,
when he suggested that the treaty
with republican reservations be voted
down.
It also was pointed out by demo
crats that Mr. Wilson did not center
his objection on any specific form of
reservation and from this hope was
revived in some quarters that he
would take under protest such a com
promise now under negotiation.

GAVE GREAT PAIN
The chief-symptom of rheumatism
is pain. The treatment is most suc
cessful that most quickly relieves and
banishes this disagreeable symptom.
Many rheumatic people suffer pains
that could be avoided by building up
the blood. When rheumatism is as
sociated with thin blood it cannot be
corrected until the blood is built up.
Mr. Celsus E. Starnes, who lives at
No. 1021 Bannock street, Denver, Colo.,
suffered from rheumatism for years
but he was more fortunate than a
great many victims of the disease, for
he found a remedy that so built up
his entire system that he is now free
from rheumatism. When seen re
cently at .his home Mr. Starnes said:
"The pains of rheumatism were so
great I had begun to think I should
never get a full night's sleep. My
Joints, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips
and knees were swollen and discolor
ed and were stiff and sore. After rest
ing for a while I would be so stiff
that I couldn't walk. Sometimes the
pains were sharp and shooting. My
muscles were numb and there was
tingling sensation' at the tips of my
fingers. I became, very weak and lost
ail ambition.
"I had heard of Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for several years and when
other medicines failed to help me, I
decided to try them. A few days
after I began to take the pills I ex
perienced so much relief that I was
able to sleep well. My strength re
turned. The pain slowly became less
severe until I was free from the signs
of rheumatism.. The swelling and
stiffness are gone and I feel like a
different person. I strongly, urge
those who are suffering from rheuma
tism to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
