Answer Filed by Defendants
to Relatives of Christian
Science Leader
CONCORD, N. H., April i".—The
Charge that the suit for an accounting
of the property of Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, filed March 1st waa not brought
In good faith by the so-called "next
friends" named In the suit. Is contain
ed In the answer of the defendants In
the action, which was filed In the Mer-
rlmaci Superior Court today.
The defendants charge that these
"next friends” have been Induced to
I'.an their names for use in the suit "at
the instigation and at the expense of
certain evil-minded -pinna, sot relat
'd In any way to said Mary Baker G.
Eddy or having any Interest In her or
in her estate."
These persons, the defendants allege,
are hostile to Mary Baker G. Eddy and
the religious principles of which she
Is the founder and exponent. The de
fendants further say that they have
no knowledge or Information respecting
many of the allegations In the bill, but
demand proof of all material matters
therein contained, not specifically ad
mitted, and that they ought not to
make this or any answer to this bill,
because It Is mullfarlous, vague and
Indefinite and filled with Immaterial,
sr-andalous and Irrelevant matter and
does not set forth any cause of action
under the laws of the State of New
Hampshire.
The answer of the defendants Is a
general denial of all the allegations
made by the complainants In the origi
nal action, George W. Glover, Mary
Baker and George W. Baker, who sued
as Mrs. Eddy's "next friends.”
Answer of Frye and Others.
'Besides the defendants, fcalvln A.
Frye, Irvin C. Tomlinson, Herrman
Shering and Lewis C. Strang, the New
Hampshire residents among the defen
dants named In tho original bill In
equity on behalf of Mrs. Eddy, filed
their answer In the Superior Court for
Merrlmac County today. Mr. Frye .“ays
he has been In the employ of Mrs. Eddy
for nbout twenty-five years, for a con
siderable part of the time ns private
secretary. During all that time, her
house at Concord, and all other houses
In which she hns resided, togeter with
all persons employed or connected
therewith have always been under the
absolute control and direction of Mrs.
Eddy.
Mrs Eddy determines herself whom
she will see and the length of time
that will be given for the purpose, ac
cording to Mr. Frye's answer, and the
defendant denies thnt he ever personal
ly or in conjunction with Strang or
other of the defendants refused to nl-
low any person or persons to see Mrs.
Eddy or that she has prescribed or
limited the time to be allowed to per
sons to confer with her except In ac
cordance with the rules prescribed by
the said Mary G. Eddy for the conduct
of her household and business.
Mrs. Eddy Responsible.
The defendant denies also that Mrs.
Eddy Is and has been for many years
not legally responsible for acts done
by her, and unfit to manage and control
her business and property, but on the
contrary, he avers that she always has
directed and managed her business af-
fa'rs.
The answer of Strang Is practically
the same ns that of Frye, while the
answers of Tomlinson and Herlng vary
only Insofar as their relations with Mrs.
Eddy differ from those of Frye and
Strang.
"Today's proceedings furnished the
latest chapter in the story of the liti
gation. which already has become In
volved by the transfer by Mrs. Eddy
of all her property to three trustees,
Henry M. Bakor, Archibald McLellnn
and .Toslah E. Fernald, who have peti
tioned the court to be substituted as
plaintiffs In plnee of the original par
ties. and the answer to this petition
filed by tho latter deelarlng that the
deed of trust was Illegal on account of
the alleged Incompetence of the grantor
to create tho trust. /

LARGEST CHILDREN'S
CHORUS ON ANY STAGE
ATLANTA, April 17.—Perhaps the
largest children's chorus ever seen on
any stage, will be that which will
sing at the May-June music festival
In this city on May 29, 30, 31 and
June 1. The children—400 In all—
will be under the leadership of Prof.
B. C. Davis, musical director of the
Atlanta public schools. They will be
dressed in pretty costumes, and will
make one of the most attractive fea
tures of the festival.
Rehearsals are going on with the
chorus of 300 selected voices, many of
which will come from out of town.
The orchestra rehearsals will com
mence when the twenty-six musicians
who were selected in Cincinnati—in
addition to as many more from At
lanta, arrive. Madame Schumann-
Helnk. Miss Bessie Abbott and Cam-
panarl, all of the Metropolitan Opera
House, are reported in fine voice for
the festival.
Judging by the sales of season tick
ets, which opened this week, popular
prices have made a hit. It is believ
ed that prices of *3, $4 and *5 for the
four performances of high class music
will prove profitable. A prospectus
and souvenirs will be mailed any one

NEWSPAPER CIRCLES MOURN
DEATH OF JOHN DUNNING
PHILADELPHIA, April 17.—John
P. Dunning, well known in newspaper
circles throughout the country, died
today in a hospital here of tumor on
tho brain. He was 44 years of age.
John P. Dunning first came Into no
tice as a newspaper writer, of excep
tional ability in 18S9. He had been
sent to Samoa by the Associated Press
to watch for developments In the Sa
moan difficulties, the naval squadrons
of the United States, Great Britain
and Germany having gathered at that
place. On March 15. 1889, a great
hurricane swept over the islands and
when merchant vessels and six men
of war were piled upon the shores of
Apia hay and 12 officers and men of
the American and German war ships
lost their lives. Dunning was upon
the scene and afterward he wrote
30.000 word story of the disaster which
has ever been considered a model of
descriptive writing.
Dunning’acted as war correspondent
for the Associated Press in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. He
landed with Col. Roosevelt’s Rough
Riders in Cuba and his was the first
story sent out of the ambuscade of
LasGuasImas.

This sharp language is interpreted
by the Tagliche Runschau as meaning
that the German Government has
grown weary of the "English game of
hide and seek and the comedy of
peace and disarmament.”

ST. PAUL, April 18.—The police to
day arrested John Gunderson on the
charge of having held up Fred Zimmer
man, the clerk in the Northern Express
Company’s office last night, and robbed
the office safe of a package containing
$25,000. The police say that Gunder
son has not Confessed. They would
not say whether the money had been
secured or not, but they said they had
the right man. The stolen money was
a package of $25,000 that the Merchants
National Bank of this city had consign
ed to Duluth. This afternoon the ex
press company turned over a check for
the full amount to the bank. When
Gunderson was takerito the police sta
tion he appeared to be under the influ
ence of liquor. Gunderson said he
could not remember what he did with
the money. Claimed he had been drink
ing and did not remember what had
happened during the night.
Gunderson had been employed by the
Northern Express Company and was
recenSly discharge^. He is said to
have been familiar with the details of
the office and knew a package contain
ing the $25,000 was going to be put on
fhe night train.
Zimmerman., the clerk in charge of
the office, says Gunderson came to
the office about 9 o’clock and as he had
been employed there he thought noth
ing of his hanging around. He remain
ed there until every one but Zimmer
man and a porter had left and then
Gunderson gave the porter some money
and tol<l him to get a, bottle of whiskey.
As soon as the porter had gone Gun
derson covered Zimmerman with a re
volver and commanded him to open the
safe and hand out the package. Zim
merman complied with his request.

Adopted Platform and Resolution.
At the morning session held in Car
negie hall the peace congress adopted
Its platform or resolution, recommend
ing among other things that The
Hague conference shall hereafter be a
permanent institution; that “The
Hague court shall be open to all the
nations of the world; that a general
treaty of arbitration for ratification
by all the nations shall be drafted
by the coming conference providing
for the reference to The Hague court
of International disputes which can
not be adjusted by diplomacy: that
the United States Government urge
upon the conference action looking to
the limitation of armament; that the
conference extend to privnte property
at sea. immunity from capture in war.
The resolutions speak highly in praise
of President Roosevelt, Secretary Root
and the Prime Minister of Great Bri
tain for the stand they have taken in
favor of a settled policy of peace
among the nations.
The resolutions were adopted with
a few minor changes as to the word
ing just as they came from the com
mittee, which had had their prepara
tion In charge. There was a debate,
continuing over two hours, however.
Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, of Wash
ington, declared that the speakers on
the platform were “tryln gto have It
all their own way."
Among the participants in the de
bate today was Wm. J. Bryan. Ho
waa very brief.
“I came here to see.” he said, “that
the one Idea which I regard as the
most important of all was carried out.
and that was that all disputes, not
subject to adjustment by diplomacy,
should be referred to international ar
bitration.
This has been Incorporated In the
discussion just as it was adopted by
the Inter-parliamentary Union in Lon
don last July when twenty-six nations
were represented. I regard this ns a
long step toward the ellmiantion of
wnr.”
The resolutions were adopted unan
imously.
Before the morning session adjourned
a resolution was adopted, naming the
following trustees, who shall have pow
er to add to their numbers to collect
funds for the promotion of Interna
tional peace, and to disburse such funds
In their discretion through existing
agencies: Andrew Carnegie, Geo. Fos
ter Peabody, James S. Peyer, Seth Low.
Robert Treat Paine, of Boston, and
Joshua L. Bailey, of Philadelphia.
Then while the guests were seated
the choirs rendered the “Peace festive
hymn.” Spectators occupied the boxes
in the balconies, and by the time the
speaking began, every convenience for
listening to the addresses had been
taken. Former Mayor Seth Low, of
New York, the presiding officer at the
dinner, was attended by those who
had been requested to speak.
A feature of the dinner was the
demarcation of the various tables by
countries and States to represent the
aspiration of all nations, sitting in
harmony.
The National costume of some of
the foreign delegates were strongly
contrasted with the usual coloring
found in the American dress, suggest
ing the international meaning of the
occasion. The brilliant gold broc.oded
coats of two educational delegates from
India, as well as their gold-striped
turbans, contrasted with the dress of
the delegates from China and seemed to
emphasize the rich coloring of the
banauet room. Archbishop Ireland of
St. Paul, said grace at the opening of
the dinner.
Cablegrams From Kings.
The reading of cablegrams from for
eign rulers opened the exercises. From
the King of Norway came this mes
sage:
"I beg you to bring my best greeting
to the National arbitration and peace
congress, whose work I hope may pro
mote the great purpose of advocating
first speaker of the evening. As the
Ear! was making a bow in acknowledg
ment of the applause which greeted
him, there came the beating of drums
and blowing of trumpets.
"That,” said the speaker, “sounds
very much like a military note.” When
the laughter had subsided, Earl Grey
proceeded with his address, being con
stantly interrupted by applause and
especially when referring to the rela
tions existing- between America and
England and to Secretary Root’s recent
visit to Canada. Earl Grey concluded
by reading a telegram he had received
this evening from the speaker of the
Canada Senate, as follows. “A Canada
group of members of parliament num
bering 150 was formed this morning
and have joined the inter-parliamen
tary union for peace. They send greet
ings to their American cousins, who
are working toward the same end.”
Mr. Carnegie declared that after such
encouraging news from Canada, if the
English speaking nations did not go
into the Hague conference with some
thing definite in mind, it would indi
cate that some one had made a great
mistake.
Ho then introduced Don Enrique C.
Creel, the Mexican ambassador, who
expressed the regrets of President Diaz
at not being able to attend the con
gress.
At the conclusion of his address Am
bassador Creel proposed through Mr.
Carnegie a toast to the President of tho
United States. It was drunk standing
and amid cheers.
In introducing Ambassador James
*Bryce of Great Britain, Mr. Carnegie
declared: “He is a man before whom
it is useless for us to try to hide our
faults or to expose our many virtues.
He knows them all,”
Mr. Bryce was not able to proceed
for some moments because of the ap
plause.
At the afternoon session of tho con
gress Mrs. Helen Beach Tillntson and
Richmond P. Hobson walked on tho
stage bearing a peace flag which they
were commissioned to present to Mr.

“War .comes from misunderstand
ings. At the finish both parties will
tell you that it was a defensive war.
When they will submit' to having a
thorough understanding of their griev
ances war can be avoided.
“I believe one of the objects of this
conference is to cultivate pr-ac.- and to
dispel the idea that man must die In
the battle field to be a patriot. And
this convention will not do its duty
unless it impresses upon the world the
Idea that It Is as much a man’s duty
to live for his country as it is to die
for it.
“I expect to see the world loved Into
peace. Love Is the great force. Don’t
tell me that to secure peace you must
build great armies and navies. I want
to see peace bv love nnd not bv force.”

Introduced as “the grand old man” of
our republic. “The grand old man,”

I am not going to speak a word of
peace today, am going to speak of jus
tice. Give us justice, and peace will
follow.”
