COMMITTEE S STATEMENT
New York, Nev. 11., ? Mrs. Stet
son's answer to {the charges of Virgil
0. Strieker, that Bhe practiced ma
licious animal magnetism onTher ene
mies and taught falsehood by testify
ing from the fourth dimension of
spirit, has proved unsatisfactory to
the directors of the Christian Science
Church in Boston. leaders In the
anti-Stetson faction here daily expect
Mrs. Stetson's excommunication.
The statement issued by MfT~COTT
head of the publication committee,
who 1b in dally communication with
Boston, is significant.
"While tho mental practice de
scribed by Mrs. Stetson In this morn
ing's papers is not the practice of
Christian Science." he declared, "it
is to be observed that there is a wide
difference between her practice as de
scribed by herself and by her stu
dents.
"Even the most partisan students
admitted in Boston that she was in
the habit of making mental and audi
ble attacks upon persons in the na
ture of imprecations and curses.
"The distinction she -attempts to
. make in faror_ jol_axt ntal _jjra?tl_ce,
which, she claims, is legitimate as
?elf defense, is unknown to Christian
Science. ? A- Christian Scientist' de
fends himself from all forms of evil
by keeping his own 'consciousness
thoughts at a supposed enemy.
Yesterday the real genesis of the
' ? - ?trouble, together with the testimony
that caused tho Investigation to be
started was revealed for the first
tlnre. ~ Mr. CM announced that onus
Bhould_not be laid on Mr. Strieker
and that seven practitioners who re
belled at Mrs. Stetson's teachings last
winter, had been the ones to open the
eyes of the mother cnurcn^ " ; ?
Washington, d. C., Nov.^13. ? Ad
ministration circles were in. a state
at suppressed agitation, yesterday,
and engaged in' much close scrutiny
' of those shadows that are cast before

critical stage had- been readied "iTrthej

the Interior and the Forest Service,

of anxious Consideration. The pub

of which was given in the Btory of a
great political Conspiracy. "Circum

been reached and that a determined

Several conferences have been held
recently among the members ef the
cabinet; that of Monday night being
the only, one concerning which any

THE BIGGEST ZOOS.
The best zoo in the world, alaft! Is
not that of T^ondon, if we take as our
criterion the number of inmates.
London has only 2.972 animals, while
Berlin has 3,149 and New York
4,034. We hasten to say that the re
sult is not entirely due to protection.
The climate of Berlin, though i or- m

purposes of a zoo than "Loudon's.
