WANTS COURT TO DECIDE
PROBLEMS OF 0cCULTISM
spiritual Bishop" of Brooklyn Asks
Novel Question In Suit
Filled There

NEW YORK, March 2O.-Mrs. May
Pepper Vanderbilt, the spiritual Dish
OPP of Brooklyn, asks, in effect, that
the Kings county court determine
whether there is such thing as COM
munication with the spirit world.
In a motion filed yesterday counsel
for Mrs. Vanderbilt asks for the dis
missal of the indictment against the
medium charging grand larceny.
1t is alleged that Miss Minerva van
derbilt, a daughter of the aged hus-
band Of the medium, that she caused
Vanderbilt, by fraud and deceit, to
deed to her a house in Brooklyn.
Mrs. Vanderbilt's attorney now asks
the court to ascertain by what definite
means the grand jury decided that
spiritualism was a sham and fake.
The lawyer thus puts up to the court
the rather puzzling question of decid-
ing how to prove whether the medium
did or did not receive messages from
the dead. Because of divided authority
he argues no one is competent to tes-
tify against her.
In support of this contention the at
torney attempts to show that spiritual
ism is a recognized religion, and to
prove this he quotes Alfred Russell
Wallace, Sir William Crooks and other
authorities, and mentions Jules Verne
Marconi, William Lloyd Garrison, Sal
mon p. Chase, Bayard Taylor, Robert
owen, Parker Pillsbury and others.

Railroads Bring Out Amusing
Point at San Franz
cisco

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.-The
fourth day of the hearing before Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Prouty
was given over to the defense, fur
nished by railroads charged with es-
tablishlng minimum weights upon car
loads Of furniture and other bulky COM
modities that cannot be loaded in the
regulation cars.
e. w. Camp, counsel for the santa
Fe, introduced as a witness e. Lewis
Of the D., N. and e. Walter company,
dealers in furniture.
The witness stated that great ma
jority of the car loads consigned to his
firm were above the minimum weight,
but he criticised an increase of the
minimum on mattresses. which he de-
clared could never be loaded up to the
prescribed weight, even before the in
crease.
On cross examination ]. A. Bracken,
attorney for the complaining shippers,
obliged the witness to admit that his
firm handled none but expensive and
heavy furniture and that his testimony
would not apply to cheaper and lighter
grades.
At this point Commissioner Prouty
declared himself satisfied that certain
grades of furniture and other bulky
articles could not be loaded up to the
established minimum, and directed that
the evidence be applied directly to the
number of short-weight carloads.
