Concord, N. H., Aug. 2)—The fa- mous suit in equity brought on March 1 last by George W. Glover, son of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, and others as “next friends” against Calvin 8. Frye and others for an accounting of the property of the aged head of the Chris- tlan Sclence church has come to an abrupt end. Immediately after the opening of court in the continued hearing regard- ing Mrs. Eddy's competency before Judge Edgar Aldrich and his co-mas- ters William E. Chandler, senior coun- sel for the next friends, announced that counsel for the next friends had filed with the clerk of the court a mo- tion for the dismissal of the sult. He said that there were many reasons for this action, but the principal one was “the unprofitableness of any im- mediate result of a decision in our favor upon the exact i{ssue as now framed, compared with the burdens and disadvantages to be endured by us, both before and after such a de cision.” Mr. Chandler then formally present- ed a motion for the dismissal of the suit, Mr. Streeter, counsel for Mrs. Eddy, in her behalf at once presented a mo- tion that the masters proceed with the hearing and determine her competency to manage her business affairs. Arrangements of Mrs. Eddy. “If we are allowed to proceed,” sald Mr. Streeter, “we should show how on Feb, £1, 1907, Mrs. Eddy began to arrange for the management of her property for the rest of her life and to provide for her kindred during that time.” Mr. Streeter reviewed the institu- tlon and progress of the accounting suit, which he oharacterized as pri- marily an assault by a great newspa- per upon & great religion—a religion ‘which its founder had designed to pro- mote after her death by the use of a large part of her fortune. In announcing his decision Judge Aldrich said: “The next friends having withdrawn from this hearing and announced that they will withdraw suit from the su- perfor court there is nothing left for us to hear and we do not think we should be justified in going forward with an ex parte hearing. “We shall make a report to Judge Chberlain - containing all the evi- dence and the happenings. In case we are not in order in respect to the ef- fect of the next friends’ withdrawal Judge Chamberlain can direst us to resume the hearing. Without such order we do not think we should be justified in going' forward with this hearipg.” g reply to a:question by Judge Al drich Mr. Streeter sald he would take exception to this ruling. CUTS OUT AUTOMOBILES. First Effect of “Rich M 's Panic” on New York, Aug. 2%—More than 2000 New Yorkers, some of them ranking as millionaires, says the World, have sold their automobiles within the last few weeks. Almost a8 many more, it is estimated by the trade, have cancelled orders for new machines. These automobiles repre- sent a cost of over $15,000,000. They are now worth probably $7,000,000. “The ‘rich man’s panic’ in: Wall street has made all the trouble,” an automobile dealer is quoted as saying as he exhibited several letters and telegrams cancelling orders for ma- i chines. ¥ ,Every dealer in high priced ma- chines, American or imported, has | storles to tell of orders cancelled by New Yorkers, who, until recently, ‘were generally supposed to be rich enough to afford any luxury. Some of the stories are pathetic. The average rich New Yorker has an expensive family and his expenditures are on a large scale. Any curtailment. of in- come cuts off the luxuries, because_he lives up to his income. So the auto- mobile had to be sacrificed. HELD UP .ON THE STREET Philadelphla Paymaster Robbed of $6,000 in C Philadelphia, Aug. 23.—Willlam H. | Hicks, paymaster for Schaum & Uhl- fiiger, a textile machine manufacturing company, was held up by three high- waymen in the northeastern part of the city and robbed of a satchel con- taining $6,000.

New York, Aug, 23.—Jagob H, Sobiff, the banker, who is at Bar Harbor, Me,, {8 quoted in a published interview on the finanoial and business outlook as saying: “To blame the federal admiplstra- tion for the difficulties in whieh we find ourselves Is both thoughtless and unjust. - Bven if ‘the exeesses which the great prosperity of recent years has had in its wake had been permit- ted to continue unchecked before long a situation would have devéloped probably far more difficult and sepi- ous than the crisis through whioch we are now. passing. x “In the-first instance, it is a resuit of the tremendous railroad, industriil and commercial development of the last ten years which has brought about capital requirements largely im excess of the abllity of the country to supply. Europe, finding itself in a similar position to the United States, has been unable to extend us any con- siderable credit or to place at our dis- posal surplus funds, such as has been its wont to invest so largely in Amer- ican securities in times of depres- sion, Moreover, it has been to a great extent overlooked that the Russian- Japanese war and the San Francisco earthquake have destroyed an enor- mous amount of wealth, which sooner or later had to make itselt felt. Nor hes the fact that both Japan and Chi- na have now entered into competition for the surplus capital of the world been given sufficient attention.” Qeneral Fight Over Board BIll 8t.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon General Drude had moved forward his field guns to a ridge sit- uated about four miles from the camp, whence he shelled the Moors, who were then in full flight eastward. ~ Admiral Philibert reported that,the situation elsewhere was practically un- changed. ™ The report that Mulal Hafig, brother of the sultan, had been proclaimed sultan, still lacks officlal confirmation. USED THE CITY’S AUTOS. Chlcago Municipal Employes Posed as Scions of Wealth, Chicago, Aug. 23.—Three city chauf- feurs who sought to win their way into the hearts of three young women via the route of nightly excursions over the moonlit boulevards in the municipal automobiles have been sep- arated with more force than grace from the payroll of the city hall by the civil service commission. Excessive gasoline bills, charges for enough of the fluid to carry the three machines at least once around .the world, led to the undoing of the trio the clty machines. Each young man who lost his job, according to the civil service com- missioners, ‘who are withholding: the names, spent his -whole salary -on clothes and bouquets.
