governments as they relate to the Initia

NKW YORK. Jan. -(Special Tele
gram.) It Is a common practice among
Christian Science healers to apply their
treatment to dogs, horses and other ani
mals. In the case against Willis V. Cole, a
healer charged with a violation of the law
against the practice of medicine without
license. Virgil O. Strlckler, rormcrly an
attorney of Omaha, who succeeded Mrs.
Augusta E. Stetson as first reader of the
First Church of Christ. Scientists, was
testifying.
After a long examination, in which he
explained that the general method of
treatment Is merely one of prayer, Mr.
Strlckler was asked If the treatment was
confined to humans.
"No," he answered Impulsively, animals,
other than humans, may be affected by
prayer."
The same question was asked Mr. Cole,
and he replied with even more fervor than
Mr. Strlckler. that he had frequently
treated animals. "Yes." he announced in
a loud voice. "I have treated dogs and
effected absolute cures."
Prayer the Only Treatment.
Cole's counse! former District Attorney
Jerome, contend d that Cole had practiced
no treatment other than prayer, and there
fore had not violated the county medical
law.
Mr. Vandlver, counsel for the medical
society, asked if God directed that a fee
be charged for this treatment by prayer
and the first reader answered emphatically.
yes, that twenty centuries oi scriptural
applications supported this practice.
"if you are going into the scriptures,"
said Mr. Vandlver, "what have you to say
to the story of Elijah, who cured the leper
and when the servant ran after the leper
to exact two talents of silver, he himself
was stricken with leprosy?"
"Yes," said Mr. Strlckler. a Bmall fat,
bald man, sliding forward in his chair
quick as a flash, "but subsequently Elijah
took the last grains of meal from a widow
for curing her son."

Mr. Cole followed Mr. Strlckler. He
testified that he believed In the efficacy
of prayer In the healing of disease, and
that It had healed him of "five Incurable
diseases." There was a sharp passage
between the counsel when -Mr. Vandlver
sought to have him tell what he prayed
when he sat with the two women who
called on him for treatment.
'This investigation is Indecent," Inter
rupted Mr. Jerome, "to attempt to pry
Into the mysteries of a man's prayer when
he approaches the divine being and hold
him up to ridicule. Imagine what would
be said if a Catholic pricat were to be
brought here and asked what were hie
prayers when the relics of St. Anne are
brought forth. I object to such a line of
questioning."
"We havo never heard of any Catholic
priest opening an office and charging a
fee for exhibiting the relics of St. Anne,"
retorted Mr. Vandlver.

relative to the oath disavowing modernism
which la now required of theological pro'
fessors by the Vatican. This ruling has
already resulted In the withdrawal of sev
eral members of the theological faculty at
the University of Munich and has called
for a sharp controversy In the newspapers.
After declaring that the bishops should
not permit foresight to develop Into faint
heartedness in connection with the depri
vation of clergy from orrice when they
refuse to defer to a new test and express
ing no surprise that those who fear their
own positions are striving against the
edicts, even, perhaps, calling uppn the
state to prevent Its being carried out, the
pope proceeds:
"In fulfillment of duty so far as Gods
praise Is directly concerned, the struggle
should not be shunned. On the contrary,
it should be courageously entered upon."
The letter sets forth that professors of
theology In state schools need not take the
oath, except when they are at the same
time occupying the pastoral office of any
kind, but It regards as "cowardly defer
ence" the action of state teachers who
make use of the permission of Rome not
to take the oath because of those who,
though of tile same Catholic church, de
clare it to be a violation of human Intelli
gence and a hindrance to the progress of
science.
A recommendation follows that exception
for other reasons should not be permitted.

"Thero Is no reason why we retailers
