EXPECT MRS. EDDY
TO RISE FROM
THE GRAVE
Believe Deceased Leader Win
Be "Resurrected'
PROTEST AGAINST GUARD
Placing of Armed Man at Tomb Liz
ened to Stationing Of centur.
ians at Grave of Christ

New York, Dec 29.--It came out
yesterday that many Christian scien-
lists in this city believe that Mrs
Mary Baker Eddy, whose recent
death came as a blow to all her fol-
lowers, viii shortly be "resurrectedo
even as Christ arose from the dead.
With this information came the news
that joint protest to the Mother
Church directors was made a few
days ago against the placing Of an
EARNED guard in the receiving vault
at Mount Auburn cemetery at Cam
bridge, Mass, where Mrs. Eddy's body
is now awaiting its final resting place.
This protest which came from sew
eral Christian Scientists here who
believe that Mrs. Eddy will be resur-
rected accused the Mother Church
directors Of being lacking in faith
They were informed that their action
in stationing the armed guard In Mrs
Eddy's tomb was comparable TO the
stationing Of the senturians outside
of Christs tomb after the cruciixion.
and those who firmly believe In the
ultimate resurrection of Mrs. Eddy
say that il the Mother Church direc-
tors. or so called hierarchy OF. the
church, were not lacking In the true
Christian Science belief they would
withdraw the armed guard and place
no obstacles in the way of what they
call divine manifestation" which
would prove to the world that Christ.
ian Science has advanced further than
any other known religion.
The protest it is said, brought a
sharp rebuke TO the Christian Scien-
lists here. who believe In the ultimate
resurrection of Mrs Eddy who says
she was a prototype of Christ"
Failing in the effort to have the
guard at Mrs. Eddys tomb removed,
one Of the Scientists who anticipates
a divine manifestation went to Mrs
Augusta r. Stetson a few days ago
it Is said, and asked II Mrs. Stetson
did not share the belief that Mrs
Eddy would be resurrected. Mrs
Stetson was shocked. She admonish
ed the Christian Scientist to Danish
any such thought, and quoted the
Manual OF the Mother Church which
forbids any one to indulge In specu
lation or prophesy.
So the matter rests at present
one, and by far the larger number
of Christian Scientists here, believ
ing there will be no resurrection OF
Mrs. Eddy; the other firm in the be
lief that some divine manifestation

who have reached a sufficient degree
In spirituality will be enabled to sec

Counsel for Northern Bank Says In
stitutlon Should Pay Dollar
for Dollar

New York, Dec. 29.-Joseph G. Ro-
bin, the fnancier and banker whose
borrowings and manipulations of Sc
curities shut the doors of the North
ern Bank of New York and its nine
branches and drove the Washington
Savings Bank in Columbus Circle to
adopt extreme measures fer prevent
ing a run, is hiding in this city, with
only his attorney William Trayers
Jerome and a few others knowing
where he is.
The Washington Savings Bank in
Columbus Circle, of which Robin is
president, enforced yesterday against
its depositors the sixty-day notice
rule on all Withdrawals. The State
Banking Department is examining the
books, but this, it was explained, was
merely the regular examination, and
that the department had nothing to
do with the curb placed on the de-
posltors' anxiety to get their money.
State Superintendent OF Insurance
Hotchkiss said yesterday that he be-
lieyed the investigation now in pro-
gress into the affairs of the Northern
Bank and the Robin companies would
yield developments still more sensa-
tional than those yet made. Another
company not yet mentioned may be
concerned, but he declined to give a
hint as to its Identity.
The chances of the depositors OF
the Northern Bank recovering all
their money were declared to be good
by James p. Clifford, counsel for the
bank. He said that the quick assets
alone woul pay &C per cent of their
claims, and that he thought the other
securities not easily negotiable would
also turn out to be valuable.
Detectives from the Central Oftice
and District Attorney Whitman's stan
hunted In vain all day for Robin and
his sister, DR.. Louise G.. Robinovitch
The much-wanted banker was turned

MURPHY WILL NOT
SUPPORT GRADY
FOR SENATE
Gov. Elect Dix Opposes "Silver
TOngued" Orator
FOR HEAD OF UPPER HOUSE
Tammany Leader Issues Statement
Withdrawing Grady's Name from
Contest

New York, Dec. 29.-Owing to pres
sure brought to bear by Gov.-elect
Dix and a number OF prominent up
State Democrats, some of whom will
sit in the upper house Of the next
Legislature, Tammany Leader Chas
F. Murphy, it was stated on good au-
thority yesterday, has been induced
10 withdraw his support for Senator
Thomas +. Grady for President pro
TEN Of the Senate. This will mean,
beyond doubt, that Senator Grady will
not be elected to that post Of honor
and influence in the legislature.
When seen at Tammany Hall yes
terday Mr.. Murphy declined to dis
cuss the report, but it comes from a
source close to the inside circles OF
Tammany Hall and the Democratic
State organization. Governor Dix,
from the time OF his election, has
been opposed to having the silver
tongued orator made the majority
leader Of the upper house, but it look
ed for long time as though the OBJ
jections Of Mr.. Dix would go unheed-
ed. II IS not until within the last
two or three days that Mr. Dix has
made effective representations TO the
Tammany leader, who dominates the
Democratic State organization and
through il the Legislature.
The announcement Of Grady's with
drawal as a candidate was made at a
meeting of the executive committee
of Tammany Hall. What decision
Senator Grady would make was un-
known to a majority OF the commit
tee. and there had been so many
rumors of recent weeks that Mr.
Murphy was asked to quiet them. In
reply he said In part.
Two years ago, when the term OF
Senator Grady was about to expire
he made a statement that under nc
circumstances would he consent tc
return to the Senate. After much
persuasion by party leaders he &C
cepted a denomination and was elect
ed for another term. When thai
term was about to expire he repeated
the declaration OF his intention tC
leave public life, as he had, in the
meantime, accepted the position o.
national president OF the Order o.
Eagles, the duties OF which would
take up a good deal of his time.
Without his consent and agains
his protest, he was again nominated
at a convention which he did not at
tend, and was elected in campaign
in which he took no part
In spite of his protests. many o
his friends hoped that he would con
sent to take the place in the Senate
this year to which his great abilit!
and experience entitled him. Onl.
yesterday he called upon me to sa!
that he could not consent TO accep
any position in the Senate whicl
would take up all Of his time o
make any serious inroads on hi
health. Under the circumstances al
the party can expect is TO have hin
act as one OF the members OF tn
Inner House"
