Of an ignorant crowd" Judge Abram III
Daley appeared before Judge Maddox In
the supreme court in Brooklyn yesterday
and filed briefs, as directed by the court
IN the application or Miss Minerva II. VAN
derbilt To have her father declared incom-
petent.
Ex-Judge Daley also submitted an af1
davit by Mrs. Vanderbilt in which she
makes a sweeping denial of anypknow ledge
OF what Bright Eyes" did while she was
IN frances. She says that besides Bright
Eyes" other spirits have made free use of
her to communicate with their more ma
tcrtal friends. but that while they were at
work she was unconscious of what was 60
Ing on or what she was doing
II is not every spirit. however which
will come at her beck and call. or which
finds in her a sort of human writing ma
chine she declares.
II is a well-known fact among psychics
that Indian spirits possess strong magnetic
power. and are used most frequently for
the purpose of enhancement OF mortals
Mrs. Vanderbilt admits that she has been
subject to the control of "a partially In
dian maiden named Bright Eyes by
whom she becomes at times deeply en-
tGanced. In this condition she has written
many letters of which she did not know
the contents and has said many things to
numerous persons OF which she has no
knowledge. She further says she has no
recollection of ever having seen the letters
produced in evidence by the petitioner or
OF having written them or of mailing
item.
Judge Daley sums up his side of the case
IN thirteen typewriter pages. in which he
claims that in the moving papers the only
facts set forth are: That Mr.. Vanderbilt
b, came acquainted with Mrs. Pepper short
ly after the DEATH his first wife; that
she IS a medium known as Bright Eyes
that Vanderbilt attended Mrs Pepper $
meetings. that they Were married June l.
1901, and that he made her a wedding
present OF equity In real estate amounting
e. $1,000.
Judge Daley declares that all the OF her
allegations are mere Conclusions And
not entitled to be considered by the court.
An affidavit submitted by Edward w
Vanderbilt corroborates all the statements
Incorporated in the affidavit made by his
wife He denies that he was ever influ-
encad in his present marriage by any letter
whatsoever.

Railway clerks salaries in and around
New York range, it is said. from $25 t.
$50 a month. and thousands of mer
are receiving today the same pay es
tablished by the roads when they be

plain that they are required to work about
eleven hours a day on the average, and
allowed no extra pay for overtime. The
salaries of all the railway clerks in New
York city and adjacent yards average about
$65 a month. The average time they work
is twelve hours a day.
They complain also that in most cases
they get no vacations or Saturday hall
holidays, as is the case with most other
salaried employees, and that while they are
the lowest paid of all railway employees
their services are the most important in the
general conduct Of the business.
Many attempts have been made. it is said
to effect an Organization among the New
