From Holland they went to Germany

police allege. Miss De Meulmeister poured
a small quantity of carbolic a.ci.i 01 her
hands as an excuse to get out of the housi 1
with the booty.
Among the articles taken which were
identified by Mr. Kubie were a siring of

VICTORY FOR P. S. BOARD
Can Alter Rate Fixed by Statute,
Appellate Division Holds.
Albany, Nov. if.— The right of the Public
Service Commission to alter a rate fixed by
statute was upheld by a unanimous de
cision .' the Appellate Division, 3d De
partment, to-day. The- court decided
against the Delaware & Hudson Company,
•which sued out a writ of eertiorari to
review the action of the commission In re
ducing the fare between Ticonderoga sta
tion and Ticonderoga viliapp from 23 to 15
cents.
Tlie company contended that the com
mission could not alter a rate fixed by law.
and further that it could not make an
order reducing: a rate on the Ticonderopa
Railroa«i without the presence in the record
of the Ticonderoga Railroad Company.
The decision is looked on as of consid
erable importance, in that ii is the first
instance which the commission has
sought to lower a rat** originally iixed by
an act of the Legislature. The law was
ainonded by the !a- • Legislature to give
the commission su-:h powers, but the com
pany held that the legislature had no right
so to delegate us authority.

FEAR MRS. STETSON YET
Scientists Would Bar Her ' om
Control by New B\iq w .
UNCERTAINLY AS To VOTE
I Congregation Hears Strickle- in
' Silence, but Warm Debate
May Folio w.
In spite of the recent and repeated denial..
by Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson y2Sr*SS
tlon to renew her power Ov *r t h e '"^
Christian Science Church the f»ctto^wS
ousted her and which is now in ,™ ' !
the magnificent edifice at «th BtrLt '• „d
Centra. Park West demonstrated CoarH"
last night that they have not vet |ost J,
fear of her ambition.
At a business meeting of th* oonpre-a
tion. which was held immediately- after the
regular Wednesday evening "experience
meeting. Virgil O. Strickler. first reader of
the church, read a proposed amendment to
the by-laws of the church, which, if passed
by the congregation on Friday ni ht will
make it still harder for Mrs. Stetson or
for any of her friends or supporters to re
pain for her the power which she on .
wielded in tho local church.
A little over a year ago ■:•■■ Mr?. Stet
pon herself was expelled from the Mother
Chur.l. in Boston, and then from the local
church, of which she had been the virtual
leader for years, it appeared that her power
was broken
To make it more sure, however, fifteen
practitioners who professed allegiance to
Mrs. Stftson. and who. it was feared, might
ultimately engineer a movement ■■„ rein
state her. we:> expelled
Just after the expu*sk>n of the Stetson
ites, a board of trustees was elected, and
the line-up of the two factions in ilx;
church owed that there was still 482
members who believed in Mrs. Stetson, as
against 732 who voted to support the '•ad
ministration" ticket.
Another election "t trustees will be held
in January, and the amendment proposed
lasl ight is aim^d to curtail as much as
• ;sny further opposition by thp rem
nant.- of the Stetson faction to the will of
• • ; resent administration
Briefly, this anif-ndment. if passed by a
two-third" vote of the congregation to-mor
row injrht. will prohibit ii r '\ member hold
ing office in the church who acknowledges
allegiance to or who supports in anj way
either Mrs Stf-tson or any ono of tiir fif
•■•■ 1 ractitioners expelled because or" their
■ ■ to her.
The 31 unites in the church have
said in the ias: v >+k that they !md
ed that patients who haH been at
tended by th^so fifteen practitioners (iur
inp: ih*- iasr year have- always been advised
to ;ittfn<i the el m *rvices and te con

By this means they would make them
selx-es eligible for voting at the corporate
meetings of Hie church, and though Mrs.
FtetFon herself and the expelled fifteen
would he barred from holding office in
the church, these patients of theirs might.
if they joined forces with the 452 who voted
for the so- ailed "Stetson ticket" of trustees
at the last election, put in a new board of
trustees which would be favorably inclined
to the former leader
It was said the Stetsonites were iininp
forces for the January ple^tion
of trustees. I Mrs Stetson specifical
■ - 'I.
In any case the amendment proposed
last niprht. .-,,..,.• is to be voted on to-mor
row nigrht. brings the issue up now instead
of in January, because it would completely
block any attempt which might be made
to put on the board any one friendly to
Mrs. Stetson-
The proposed Lmend ■" reads as fol
lows:
All officers of th*- church shall be mem
b<?rs of this church and of the Mother
Church, and enever an officer ceases to
be a member ■■;■<■■■■ church his office
thereby becomes vacant.
No person shall be eligible to be elected
or appointed to. or to occupy or hold any

to the teaching or practice of any person
whose lic^nsp as :* teacher of rlstian
Science has ■••• n revoked by the directors
of the Mother Church, the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, or who fol
lows or adheres to the teaching or practice
of any practitioner of Christian Science
who lias been • spelled from the Mother
Church; nor shall any such person be eli
gible for election or appointment to any
office until the expiration of one full year
from the time when such person friv<=s writr
ton notice to the hoard of trustees of his
or her abandonment of th*- tp;ichins and

when the amendment was read to the con
srrepation. as the state law -minp re
lipious bodies requires that a proposed
1 amendment to the bylaws shall he read at
one business meeting preceding the one at
which it is acted upon.
Mr. Stickler's reading of it was received
in absolute silence and no hint of an im
pending flirht was to be seen.
The administration faction, however, does
not expert to have it sro through without
a stiff debate, and the alignment of votes
last year, not counting the probable addi
tions to the Stetson faction through new
patient? who have been sent to attend the
church services, would be enough to block
its passage by the necessary two-thirds
vote.
Those who attended the trustees' election
meeting last year and saw the bitter fipht
which preceded the triumph of the anti-
Stetsonites cannot be convinced that the
„,,.... powerful leader of the local church
will surrender without a light on this last
point, which would so effectually block any
future attempt at renewing her power.
It is Mrs. Stetson's last chance, if her
supporters are defeated, and iMhey should
win. by defeating this proposed amend
ment, they would sum have t" fore them
an even harder 'battle at the January -l<-c

HOW TO ELIMINATE GRAFT
National Municipal League Dis
cusses Timely Topic.
Buffalo. Nov. IS.— The word '"praft" was
heard many time? at to-day's session of
the sixteenth annual meeting of the Na
tional Municipal League and eighteenth
national conference for good city govern
ment. Methods to circumvent the grafter
and . to provide a system of government
which will leave him no place in the public
service mads the session the most interest
ing of this year's series.
Dr. I^eonhard F. Fuld. examiner of the
Municipal Civil Service Commission of
New York, spoke on "The Police Problem."
He gafo that while the administration of
the poiic*. department in the average
American city was not perfect, it wa?
also true that it was the victim of too
much criticism. He had found a large pro
portion of policemen conscientious In the
performance of their duties. The police
mar, he said, was the victim, in many in
stances, of a political system which tied
his hand;-. I^r. Puld favored the single
headed department rather than the an
tiquated boa id system. He said:
The p"li>c problem in our American
cities is the most ■ difficult administra
tive problem with which American pub
lic officers must deal. Every man owes il
to himself as a Christian duty and .1 civic.
duty to civc '.•• head of the police depart
ment such moral .i. i and assistance as he
may be able to supply. We should not
r>ritii m is 4 mli -- we are able to suggest im
provements: we should criticise methods
rather than men; we should work with pr.b
lic officers, not against them; we shou'u
strive for practicability and non-partisan
stiij 1 in ptiice administration.
"Take away the probability of conceal
ment, and few men have the courage to
defraud their fellows, or violate the law,
said i>r. William Allen, secretary of the
New York Bureau of Municipal Research,
In outlining methods of "Overtaking the
Grafter by Municipal Accounting."
••The whole spawn or crimes that accom
pany political corruption." he continued,
"depends on some one'? ability to give
away something that does not belon? to
him, which in turn depends on public is
norance of what is being done with its
money and its power."
