Informs Colleagues That It
Woul(i Be Wrong to
Retain His Seat
WASHINGTON, March 3—Sen
ator Spooner has written a letter to
Governor Davidson of Wisconsin
tendering his resignation as a Senator
of the United States, to take effect
May 1 next. The letter was dated
yesterday, but the fact that such a
letter had been written or that
Spooner contemplated resigning did
not become known in the Senate until
late today. The news created great
surprise, and the Wisconsin Senator
ct once found himself the subject of
many anxious Inquiries. To all these
he replied that his mind was fully made
vj>. He said that he has found that to
continue in his present position would
demand a sacrifice on his part that he
could not justify himself In making.
In reply to questions he said he would
resume the practice of law, but de
clined to say whether he would be
located In \u25a0Wisconsin. He did say. how
ever, that he would continue to be a
citizen of that State as long as he lived.
It was reported authoritatively to
night that Senator Spooner's largest
and most important retainer would be
from E. H. Harrim'an. Senator Spooner
refused to discuss this proposition, but
some of his friends declared that the
had been completed and
that Spooner would join the Harriman
legal forces as chief counsel.
There has been a story that Spooner
would be placed on the bench of the
United States Supreme Court. This is
not true. Senator Spooner said tonight
that there was no appointive office
within the gift of the Government that
he would resign his seat In the Senate
to accept. '
On being Informed of Senator Spoon
«r's resignation. President Roosevelt
made the following statement:
•"I cannot sufficiently express my re
gret at Senator Spooner's resignation.
We lose one of the ablest, most ef
ficient, most fearless and most upright
public servants that the nation has
had."
MILWAUKEE. March 3.— The an
nouncement that Senator Spooner of
Wisconsin had resigned came as a sur
prise In Wisconsin. Governor David
son said that h<B could hardly believe It
to be true. As to, Spooner's successor.
Governor Davidson said It would be left
to the present Legislature to elect a
successor to fill the uncxpired term.
Governor Davidson would not discuss
the probable successor, other than to
say he presumed one of the "Wisconsin
Congressmen, such as Cooper .and
Esch, who were 'candidates for the Sen
atorship at the time Senator La Follctte
was elected to succeed Senator Quarlcs,
would again enter the field. Governor
Davidson said he would not be a can
didate.
Lieutenant W. D. Conner, of whom
mention hats been made at various times
as a possible successor to Senator
Spooner when his term expired, cx
prossed surprise at the news of the
resignation, but was not prepared at
the time to make a statement.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE /CALL
BOSTON, March- 3.— Sensational de
velopments are'eominjr thick .and "fast
in the equity suit of ;George,W.' .Glover,
son of Mrs. Mary Baker ; Eddy/, against
the officials, of the \u25a0 Christian Science
mother, church. It' was announced ' to
day that' trust funds' had been created
by Mrs. , Eddy -within- the past, week
for the .benefit of :h\r son. The
amount of the fund is said to.be $150,
000, with forfeiture as the' penalty, of
a contest. Counsel, for the plaintiff,
however, say, that no compromise will
be made, , and that the case will be
fought to a finish.- Counsel- for the other
side intimates, that the case -may be
taken first to the Supreme-Court to de
termine points ' of law, which \ if decided
In their ' favor would' enable * them . to
keep , Mrs. Eddy from appearing In
court. '.'.••-. .
Glover, ~in a": long signed statement,
declares that .Mrs. . Eddy Am held prac
tically ,as a : prisoner , and slave, t'and
hints at the forgery of her name to
various papers and. letters to him. He
says that in. an interview he had with
his mother she, seemed to be afraid: of
Calvin ' Frye and ' quailed under the:lat
ter's eye.' ,' He^detalled' r af great^length
her talk; with, him, -and told how she
believed that several attempts had been
made to - kill ; her. 'She believed : that
the gift of two'magnificent horses sent
by a Texas admirer was made'; with a
view; of causing her death by their
running, away.
ThaU the struggle Is for a gigantic
stake' is indicated by the sum total, of
the various properties, which foot up'
to nearly s $10,000,000, ; and include ;nbt
only the $2,000,000 cathedral in Boston,
but much ; real " estate \u25a0\u25a0 in Concord :and
Boston, copyrights on her. books, Chris
