LOWED TO ExCAvATE ANCIENT
REGIONS IN BABYL0NIA

New York. August 2S.--After more
than three years of preparation and eff
fort and the expenditure Of more than
$4,000, plan for the excavation OF ur
of the Chaldeen and other places in
Babylonia by American explorers, has
been formally abandoned because the
Turkish government viii not grant per-
mission to American citizens to do the
work
In letter to subscribers of the VI
expedition, the Rev. Or. John p, Peters
chairman of the advisoryrboard says
"on June 10, 1900, an application was
made for an trade to excavate Maug-
heir Ur of the Chaldees and Naawawis
runs in close proximity in Southern
Babylonla and the required topograph-
ical map was submitted with this appli-
cation. The application was in all re-
spects In conformity with the law OF
the Turkish Empire governing exca-
vations,
No permission to excavate has been
obtained, nor has any satisfactory reas-
on been given for the failure TO grant
such permission. Later, at the sugges-
tion Of the, Turkish authorities, Tel
!. .Ibrahim, was substituted for Maugheir
with the same result
"Dr. Edgar J. Banks, the director OF
the expedition, has been in Constants

pressing the Turkish government, with
the cooperation of the United States
Legation for permission to eXcavate.'

WARFARE

New York. August 25.-Surrounding
the death of John g. Denny. an expert
machinist, conspiciousIy identified with
y warfare waged between labor unions
and circumstances so suspicious that
the police have been called upon to
investigate.
1t is the assertion of the mans widow
that he was murdered because OF his
labor differences, and that men opposed
to him In organizations killed him or
instigated his death. This belief Of
foul play is shared by Denny's friends
and shop companions.
Denny's body was found near Erie
Basin, Sunday. His head was in the
shallow water, but one leg was entirely
dry. His face was badly battered and
other bruises were on his body. His
money and watch were undisturbed.
The widow has told the police that her
husband frequently hadbeen threatened
by men opposed to the Knights Of La
Dor. with which he was affiliated. A
watchman at the dock says he saw
Denny and another man walk out on
the pier early Sunday morning and de-
clares neither man came back. So far
the police have found no eorroboration
of the watchman's statement as 70 any
person accompanying Denny but say
he started home alone about midnight,

FAMOUS ABoLlTloNST DEAD

Chicago, August 25,--John Blazer,
known in slavery times as one Of the
foremost abolitionists in Illinois and a
leader IN the underground railway
movement Is dead here.
He knew both Lincoln and Douglas
and was a staunch Lincoln man. Be-
tween 1850 and 1860 he helped over
200 slaves to gain their freedom. On
one occasion, he was caught in the act
of helping slave escape. So great
was the feeling at that time that people
for miles around offered to pay his
fine and support his family in case he
was convicted. The case was dropped
however.
