TO HAVE HEAD EXAMINED
Inquiry for Edward Ward Vanderbilt
Who Married a Spiritualist
Leader,

New York, June 10.-Interest in the re-
cent marriage of Mrs. May s. Pepper
the spiritualist leader, to Edward Ward
Vanderbilt was revived today when an
application was made in the supreme
court in Brooklyn to have commission
appointed to inquire into Vanderbilt's
mental condition. The application was
made by his daughter, Minerva, and by
his brother and sister, James o. and
Sarah L Vanderbilt. The petitioners de-
clare that Vanderbilt was brought into
the marriage while under the control of
Mrs. Pepper and was not responsible for
his action.
The hearing was adjourned until Thurs
day.
In the affidavits presented today it
was allowed that a control known as
bright eyes" had induced Mr.. Wander
bilt to marry Mrs. Pepper. Bright eyes"
who is an alleged Indian spirit and gives
messages to Mrs. Pepper, according to
the court affidavits, wrote a number of
letters which induced Mr. Vanderbilt to
sign sundry checks.
1t was charged at the hearing that the
daughter was left to the charity of
friends by the marriage.
