ADVERTISE FOR OPINION.
Peterborough Takes Space to Prove
Franchise Righteousness.

Following the example set by the late William r
Potter after he became president of the Long
1sIano Railroad Company and caused the raising
OF rates for passenger traffic in having confidential
talks with the public by means of newspaper adj
Vertlsements to state the company's side of the
case August Belmont and Arthur Turnbull address
themselves to tho people of Queens and Manhat-
tan in an advertisement this morning asserting
that tho so-called grab" bills to extend the life
Of tho old Stenway tunnel franchise, tn authorize
a change Of grade and TO permit abandonment OF
one route. are in the interest of the public gen.
orally. and would be Of particular benefit to own
ers Of property that needs rapid transit facilities
for It's development.
Tho Intcrborough Rapid Transit Company fl IS
explained, has acquired interest In the old Stein
way franchise granted about fourteen years ago
TO the NewYork and Long Island Railroad Com
pany, and the plan is to use the franchise In con-
gtructing new tunnel, which would connect tho
subway IN Manhattan with the surface railroads
IN Queens. A disastrous accident stopped work
the tunnel which begun at 42d-st, years ago.
It is said but there have been improvements in
tunnel methods since then and with a modification
of plans and a change of grade tunnel under the
East River at 42d-st. might connect Manhattan
and Queens in short time If the legislature gave
its assent.
Mr. Belmont and Mr. Turnbrn argue that the
legislation they seeking is not an attempt to
get q new franchise without the consent Of the
city authorities and without making compensation,
because the city authorities years ago did give con-
sent to the old Steinway franchise, and provision
was made ia it for payment to the city OF per-
centage of gross receipts. Nothing is said about
conflict with the Rapid Transit Commissions plans
for inteborough transit facilities but this state
meut is made:
The original charter line of the company
braced rights which the city authorities have not
consented to, and one of the pending bills would
enable them to abandon this unConstructed route,
while another bill authorizes amendments to cure
technical omissions and defects.
The plea is made also that the legislation sought
would create a and heavy taxpayer in the
tunnel company. 1t is also asserted that the
struction of the tunnel would add greatly to tax
able values in Queens.

MRS. PEPPERS DEFENCE.
Does Not "Steam" Spirit Queries
to Delude Followers.

When the Reverend" May s Pepper who
styles herself pastor of the First Spiritual
Church Of Brooklyn. finished her sermon last
night she entered a spirited defence against the
charge made by certain persons who have at
tended her seances that she secretly opens the
sealed letters which she is supposed to read by
some mysterious power which she has developed
The church. at Bedford-ave. and Madison-st
was crowded, and evidently many Of the con-
gregation had come to hear this defence
For seven MONTHS" Mrs. Pepper began. 'I
have ignored the attacks made upon me from
various souSes. The charges made this morn
ing however were too outrageously unjust to
go without notice. I am more gratifed than I
can tell to so many Of my faithful followers
here tonight and to hear renewed assurances
Of your belief and trust in me. These attacks
will have but one result-they will make me a
better woman, a more highly strung instrument
by which you may communicate with those who
have gone before.

which placed upon the pulpit before

She likened herself to telephone, by which
connection could be secured by those on earth
with those who are somewhere else. She said
If the message did not come right it was not her
fault, but the fault of the instrument She de-
clared that nearly every night letters which
were not honest were placed before her, and
that many of them she detected, to the shame

they made her read fake letters week ago.
Those who offer affldavts in the matter are
Miss Novena Teeter. of the Hotel st. George
Brooklyn: Harvey Teeter, a restaurant keeper
of No. 31S 4th-ave.. Manhattan, and Miss Lottie
DeGraff.
Mrs. Pepper declared that the best proof Of
her honesty would be to call a. host of spirits
and great reaching out from spirit land fol-
lowed. Time and again the faithful were moved
to applause. If there any trick letters In
the large pile stacked up before her, Mrs. Pep
per knew how TO avoid them. She managed to
pick out letters written by those who sat near
the platform, and those in the gallery and the
of the house who desired to question the
dead were disappointed. Some Of her critics
seemed TO in this signs of collision, and went
away scoffing. The usual guard of uniformed
policemen was present, but there was no trouble

QUARTET OUT OF TUNE
Threatens to Contest Dismissal by
Rockefeller Bible Glass.

There were tones of sadness in the voices OF
the quartet Of the Bible class Of john D. ROOKIE
Teller. II. after the service yesterday for they
sang their last there as a quartet For the last
four wears the quartet has been one Of the feat
ures at the Sunday meetings. Its contract does
not expire until June.
The Rev. Willard S Richardson, assistant
rastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church salu
last night that the quartet had been olsoahueu
because two OF the members were unable longer
70 sing with If On account of their services in
BROOKLYN church. It was thought best 10 us
hand it rather than engage new singers.
On the other hand, the members OF the quar-
,at left say that the first intimation they
had Of their dismissal was at the close
% the services yesterday, when they received q
.o,a from w. c. Hughes, secretary Of the Bible
class. telling them that their services We're at
an end They say they viii appear every sun

Tho contract is I'D. IF necessary they VIII take
the matter into court for settlement they de-
clare. John D Rockefeller. jr., is expected nome
from abroad within two weeks.
For some time, according TO stories told last
night the quartet. which is composed Of Herbert
Scott. Joseph R. Bolton, a. K. Snyder and w.
= Roberts. has had difficulties over salaries
When the contract was signed it was under
stood that they were to receive SO each every
week for their services. but at the end of the
first month the price was reduced TO 81 20. the
vo1ng men sought Mr.. Hughes, and he SAID
they assert. that it was the highest amount that
could be paid for their services.
The quartet at the same time was singing at
O. church in Brooklyn, receiving $1,000 year.
I'VE cannot understand why we have been
so suddenly dismissed from the services OF the
Bible Glass;" said Mr.. Bolton. THE contract
that was entered into cannot be so easily broken
as Mr.. Hughes or any one else thinks We IN
tend appealing to Mr.. Rockefeller when he re-
turns from his trip abroad for we can hardly
credit the fact that he directly ordered our
dismissal II he did. then it will be question
