WAsniNQTOX Feb 28 President Roose-velt lies determined to withdraw the nomi-nation of Senator Joseph V Quarlen to beUnited States for the district ofWisconsin This will be pleasing newsto the La Follotte wing of the party in thatState whose members are highly indig-

nant at the President making the ap-

pointment before their lender could havea hand in tho matter

Tho President however is not takinghack tho appointment for the purpose ofmollifying the La Folletto followers infact ho Intends to rename Mr Qiinrles forthe Mme ofllco after March This coursewas necessary through tho discovery thatbefore that date Mr Qunrles is ineligible-by reason of the constitutional prohibitionagainst tho appointment of a Senator orRepresentative during tho time for whichhe was elected to any Federal oHIoo theemoluments of which shall have been in-

creased during such timeIt happens that tho salary of Ditftrirt

Judges incmahcd from 15000 to J8000a year by tho act of 1003 Senator Quarksvoted for tho increase Ho will thereforetie ineligible for appointment histenn an Senator expires on March I and ho

HO Informed tho President yesterday MrRoomvelt immediately unsiired Mr Quarksthat he would send his name to the extrasession which meets March 4

It is probable however that RH Oov LaFollctte wilt take his seat JIB Senator thesauna lay tho fight between the La Folletto j

and Stalwart wing of the party In Wisconsinwill bo immediately transferred to Washingon and through the invocation ofSenatorial courtesy which jx units a Senatorfrom tho State to which the appointee I

credited to pass upon tho matter MrQuarlcss nomination may J e held up indefinitely

In that event the nomination may becancelled and some other person namedfor the Judgcshlp before the end of tho extrasession owing to tho fact that there Is anIndisposition to permit a Judge to hold officewithout being confirmed by the Senateunless such a course m unavoidableWhether if Senator Qunrless name werewithdrawn any one could be found whowould be acceptable to both SenatorSpooner and Senator La Follette is prob-lematical Mr will of course-work for the confirmation of Mr Quarksand a pretty light IB promised

Something was doing every minute atthe Sunday evening services of MM MayPepper Spiritualist Church In BrooklynlInt night A cniHant tire of gallery Inter-ruptions from hand Ooldborger ofmen who has been challenging MM Pepperlo provii her jiowor to road sealed

Illl H

11 rumpus beforo the pulpit betweenMM Popper Ooldborgor anti Judge DallyMrs Pep rV attorney It looked almostlike a fight for a while Mrs Pepper wasled away to the vestry room by her benchmen bhoutlng she relrpAtod

I know you that J250 manlVeil produce

A pickpocketchoso that moment tOKnateh-n purse and try to make a getaway AnIncipient rIot followed

Tho sonices were full of sensationaldisplays of mediumistic power of stronglanguage directed nt Mrs Peppers nociiBors of ohpon and applause antiOr Funk was present and assisted MMPepper on the platform

When the doors of the church woreopened at 7 oclock fully 300 people werewalling By half past 7 nearly1000 had wld their quarters and passed Inand the church was crowded to It capacity

Tho police at door turned back hun-dreds of late comers Fully 300letters were passed up to tho pulpitushers

The preliminaries included a hymn ananthem by tho choir amid a Scripture readIng No ono paid much attention to themThe air was thick with sensation Thafirst rustle came when Dr Funk carrying-s long silk handkerchief mounted the plat-form antI ranged himself alongside MrsPopper

Then the medium rose in her long blackclerical gown anti hor respects to-

W S Davis tho who has beentalking about her for publication

l ast week she said tho papers warefull of Moricsatlackinc me In tho most crudemanner possible Who id responsible forthem A moan who stamped hlmswlf as avillain and a cur who took tho mask of nspiritualist and played with breakinghuman hearts What ho says about mymethods of reading sealed letters rlooa notfor a moment touch a letter placed on thlaplatform Ho says the phenomenon ofspiritualism is a money making schismIf it were a money making scheme with mathe theatres and dime museums would giveme moro money in a week than this churchmakes mo in a year

This man Davis tells how all I do 1

by accomplices Let mo tell youin a moro Intelligent

to find for their mother the bodies of twoboys which had lain In the river week-

I did it not five weeks ago Alcoholwouldnt have done that Prolonged ap-

plauseThen there was a boy who never knew

where his father wont Tho boys mothernever told On her dying bed she refuaovlto tell Butt tho boy sent up a letter in oneof meetings and I gave him his fathers

and they woro reunited Alooboldidnt do that IMoro applause

The rest of Mrs Poppers address B-

on purely spiritualistic lines In the oour iy

thereof site perpetrated these two gemsWo throw away tho pearl of great puce

because It has not knocked at time door ofour intuition through those in authority-

It rang down the corridors of time a abreath from the spirit world

Then Dr Funk took tho floor The galhones stirred and whispered

Thats himis going to read the letters

this evening blindfolded said Dr FunkI wish to that this is not my sugges-

tion hut MrH Peppers I presumehero is unxious only for truth I Bin

going to put every letter in my pocketwhen she is through with it and take thus

names and addresses of tho writersfuture confirmation

Dr Funk blindfolded Mrs Popper chosifrom the pile and handout to her

and she began to read She scorned to lilttutu target every thou The author of thus

loiter always admitted that she hadcontents down together withnames of friends in tIme spirit world

This little incident was noticed early Intim evening A woman who afterwardacknowledged tho authorship of oas ofthe sealed letters read so clearly and markolloiihly hurried up to an usher

Was my letter taken up alto said1 dont know I gave it to the boy

at the door said the usher1 told you to take it Up yourself I

shall report you to Mr Pepper in this

nornlng said the truth seekerMm Pepper had reached the third letter

when Ooldbcrger heaved himself up fromgallery You could have heard a pin

drop in the audienceMrs Pepper would you accept and read

i letter from the public press be saidThere are many reporters here tonightf they wrote a letter to you sod you read itam sure they would accept It as a proof

It is growing late put in Dr Funkle was interrupted by a voice from the

opposite gallery which criedWhy not Mrs Pepper1 will not do eo cried Pepper

The public press never dealt fairly withno I started out to do this and Ill go

through with ittime applause from the front seats

lad died down Mrs Pepper went straightm with her sealed letter reading and Mrloldberger sat down

She had read five letters blindfoldedwhen a woman rose from the congregationmd said

May I ask if you will remove the bandIt Is uncomfortable and unnecee

and a downright shame anywayiV all believe

So MM Pepper read si x or seven morewith her eyes A tenor in the

choir akod at one point if Dr Funk wouldthe letter and find If its contents fitted

reading given by Mr Pepper Dropened it and was visibly cnthiul-

KiUcAnd then up rose David Ooldbcrger
