NEW BULLET roo SPEEDY.
Pointed Army PrOJectiIe Wears Out Rine
Barrel. So Charge Is Reduced.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Nov. Is.-The phe-
nomenally low trajectory exhibited by the
new sharp pointed bullet which is to replace
the old service bullet in the new rife for the
United States Army will have to be sacri-
feed on account Of the heavy erosion
accompanying the high velocity. This fact
has been demonstrated by tests now in
prog reese at the United States armory In this
city.
The muzzle velocity of 200 feet per
second was the highest ever attained in any
army rife in the world, and the trajectory
of 10 feet in 1000 yards resulting from the
high velocity and the pointed nature OF the
bullet gave il more than three times the
efficiency OF the old style service bullet.
The tests have shown, however. that the
combination of enormous neat generated
by the explosion of fifty grains of smokeless
powder in the chamber, the charge first
used, and the high velocity of the bullet
diminished the life Of the rife barrel by
nearly Is per cent.
Tests are now being made with ammuni-
ton containing about three grains less of
powder, with a resulting decrease of the
velocity by about 300 feet per second and a
difference of ak feet in the trajectory in a
1000 foot firing zone.

Il favor now and always have favored
a careful selection, and l believe in keep
ing out all those immigrants who are in
herently unfit to maintain themselves OF
who have no one TO stand sponsor for them
said Commissioners Watchorn. in the
eyes Of the law all men are on equal terms
when they com before the inspector at
Ellis Island. 1t depends on you whether
or not public opinion opposes foreign inn
migration. II has been said that unlimited
immigration tends TO depress wages. /
am not convinced Of that, but the value of
immigration depends on whether you con-
duct yourselves so as to be worthy of the
OPPORTUNITIES VIII CHI are afforded you here.
"~Deportations should be fewer now than
formerly. A man or a woman deported
pains me because l feel that they have thS
same rights that have and i fully share
their sorrow, but If none was deported our
almsh ouses and charitable institutions
would soon be filled to overlooking.

find that IL does not meet the case. More

CRITICISE ROOSEVELT.
COIored Churches stirred by His Discharge
Of Black Soldiers.

hhatN vtutUHN
In the negro churches Of this city yester-
day sermons were preached attacking
President Roosevelt for his order d~isbanding
three companies of the Twenty-fifth~ Infantry
and ordering that the soldiers of these COM
pinies be d~ishonorably discharged. At the
Mount Olivet Baptist Church, Of which DIR.
NJ. w. Gilbert is pastor. the following resolu-
ions were adopted after DR.. Gilbert's
sermon:
Resotccd. That the action of the President
OF the United States is most heal lily dissp-
proved by us. and Is so much the more dis
approved by us because of the high regard
We have hitherto cherished for him.
Resoiued. Further. that it is our conviction
that the order of the President should be
forthwith rescinded.
RssotUed. Further, that a copy of these reso-
lutions be given to the press for publication.
and that a copy be sent TO the President and
also one to the War Department.
DIR. F. NJ. Jacobs. pastor OF the Memorial
A. NJ. L. Zion Church, said: Il do not believe
that the President of the Unlted States
should be held up to the scorn of the world.
this action on the part Of the President
IL q thrust at the race and seems as II a
weak kneed yield on his part to the South.
1t simply shows what men who are am
bilious and who seek for notoriety will do.
Roosevelt in his search for popularity in
certain quarters forgot the brave. gallant.
self sacrificing black soldiers. some OF whom
are responsible for Roosevelt being alive
to-day.
This action on his part has lone us more
harm than If he had dinsd with a thousand
Booker T. Washingtons, for black men and
women do not want any social equality. but
they demand hat justice n equity be
given the race. which Roosevelt has not
done in this case"

DOUBT AGE OF MANUSCRIPT.
Hebrew Scholars DisbeIicve story Told by
Samaritans.

Sanlnrttans.
The cabled announcement from London
that four Samaritans from Nablus have
recently arrived in that city with a view
to disposing OF a manuscript of tho Penta-
touch said to data from 1850 A. ID. does not
seem to have created any great interest
among Biblical scholars or authorities on
Scriptural manuscripts in this city.
Hebrew raobis who were interviewed
on the matter yesterday were inclined to
doubt the antiquity of the manuscript.
DR.. Solomon Sch ncter. president of the
Jewish Theological Seminary, had not seen
the cabled report, but DIR. II. Pereira Mendes,
CATION in Central Park West, while admit
ting that there might be in existence "A
manuscript of the Pentateuch dating back
to 1850 A. d.. expressed doubt OF its heing IN
possession of the SamaTitans.
DIR. r. De Sofa Mendes. rabbi of the West
End Congregation, held a similar opinion.
He did not doubt that the four men who
are trying TO sell the manuscript to the
British Museum or Oxford University were
Samaritans and thought that they them
selves might be convinced OF the genuine
a Itiquity of the document. There might
be, he said, ten or twelve orthodox Jewish
versions of the P~entateuch distributed in
the famous libraries of Europe, but no one
OF them could be traced back beyond the
eleventh or twelfth century OF the Christian
era. These. he thought, were the Oldest
genuine manuscripts of the kind in exist
ence.
The manuscript of the Pentateuch which
the Samaritans have with them in I.ondo
il supposed to be a copy Of the scroll taken
from Jerusalem bv the renegade high priest
Manasseh Just after the return Of the Jews
from the Babylonian captivity, about 500

of a weekly political letter, which is issued
under the apparent sanction of the Demo-
cratic Congressional committee. of which
the committees secretary, Charles A. Ed
wards, is author and which zoe out to the
Democratic weekly newspapers of the
country takes a fall out of William Randolph
Hearst. After telling of the roubles that
overlook the Democracy in the recent cam
paign Secretary Edwards speaks of the
independent voters and the part they
PLAYED in the loss OF the House of Repre-
sentatives to the Democrats:
The man primarily responsible for this
condition, not only in New York but in
Illinois and California. il n William Ran
dolph Hearst. His defeat in New York and
the election of every other Democratic candi-
date on the ticket on which he ran IL proof
positive that the people do not want that
kind of independence which throws down
the nominees of the party calculated TO do
what he advocates"
The writer invites the national Demo-
cracy @to nominate in 1908 a man like
Charles A. Culberson Of Texas or John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi for the Presi-
dency,r and win a victory that will 'rever-
berate from Tadmor in the wilderness to

FARMHOUSE aI7 YEARS OLD.
Postmaster Otto Stoss Of Secaucus says Il
Was Built I'm 1855.

A farmhouse in Hudson avenue, near
Grace street, Secaucus. believed to be 2i7
years old, will be RACED oon to make way
for building operations. The house was
a part Of the Schulz farm Of thirty-six and
n half acres, which was purchased by the
Secaucus Land and Improvement Com
pany and subsequently cut up into build
ing lots. The officers of the company, I'M
aware OF the great age Of the structure.
decided that IL wasn't ornamental or useful
and sold the building to Ernst Zibmann Of
Secaucus. Zibmann intends to use the
stone for the construction OF foundations
of other dwellings.
Postmaster Otto Stoss of Secaucus, the
borough historian, says that the building
was erected in 1880 for a farmer named
DeIevan, the plans being made by +. q.
Farley. 1t was originally a stone structure
but frame additions were built by subse-
quent owners. Mrs. Hagan, the wife Of
Mayor" William Hagan Of the borough, is
a descendant of Farmer Delevan on her
great grandmother's side.

C. F. u. GRAFT HUNT FAILS.
Charges. the Committee Finds, Were Only
Campaign Gossip.

mpai Gossip.
The graft committee appointed by the
Central Federated Union some weeks before
the election to investigate the charges that
money had been receive by members on
both sides made its report at yesterdays
meeting Of the union.
Several meetings of the committee were
held and the charges simmered down to
vague statements made on hearsay. One
of the men making the charges was Henry
n. Griffin OF the Marine Cooks Union, who
asked Timothy Healey of the Eccentric
Engineers, a candidate for Congress in
Westchester on the Independence League
and Democratic tickets, a number OF quee-
tons, which were construed az charges.
Among them were inquiries whether Healey
had not at various times been an enrolled
Republican and in the pay of the Republic
can party, a member OF the Citizens Union,
an enrolled Democrat and a dissemination
of Republican literature at meetings Of
the Irish societies. .
Griffin was before the committee several
times, but did not s~ubstantiate anything
he said. On one occasion he said, accord.
ing to the report, that part OF what he stated
was a matter of record. Griffin finally
proved nothing as to the implied charges
against Healey.
Statements and afidavits f.om Timothy
]. DAILY, James McCabe N other delegates
were read in which reference was made to
statements to the effect that Chairman
james H. Hatch of the Independent Labor
party was too intelligent not to know that
to divide the party was worth considerable
money to the Republican party. The sum
of $40. 900 was mentioned. h charge, II
any. implied in this statement was declared
by the committee to he mot proven"
All the other charges proved to be
founded on nothing more substantial than
gossip.
The report recommended that all the
delegates who had made vague charges
which they were not able to prove shout
be dealt with as the c. +. L. thought fit.
As most of the delegates involved are at
the convention of the American Federation
Of Labor in Minneapolis, it was decided to
postpone action for two weeks.
