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.

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. / COUNSEL FOR COMPLAINANTS CONFER ON NEXT MOVE BOSTON.

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.

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.

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.

His subject was “The interparliamentary plan.” While Congressman Bartholdt was in the midst of his speech a sudden burst of applause from the gallery in terrupted. It was occasioned by the entrance of Wm. Jennings Bryan, Tito applause lasted for half a minute and a few minutes later a hearty applause followed the mention of President Roosevelt's name by the speaker. John W.

Wm. J. Bryan was the last speaker of the session, when he was introduced the audience applauded wildly and it was some minutes before he could pro ceed. During his address he was fre quently interrupted by applause. In conclusion he said: “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.
