Mrs. Cordelia Botkin has been ordered
at her own request from the branch
County jail on the Mission road to the
States prison at San Quentin. 1t is
reported that the prisoner is annoyed
by the crowded conditions in what has
been her home for so long, and desires
a change. II is probable that she will
have roomier quarters in the peniten-
tisry. She wrote three letters to Knight
e. Heggerty, her attorneys, requesting
that steps be taken to effect her trans
fer. and they then furnished her with
a communication which she sent to
Judge Carroll Cook. The latter, after
hearing the facts in the case. yesterday

sired order.

FRAGMENT OF LOST
GOSPEL RECOVERED
IN HISTORIC RUINS
Crs. Grenfel and Hart Make an Inn

Ancient Monastery.
Bring to Light a Tiny Scrap of velIurl
Perforated by Worms and yell

LONDON, May 15.-Drs. Grenfel and
Hart. during continued researches of
the ruins of Oxyrhyncus, whose an
cient monasteries some years ago
yielded the famous Logia OF Christ.
found fragment Of a supposed lost
gospel which is now in Queens College,
oxford.
1t is tiny scrap OF velium, perfor-
ated by worms and yellowed by sixteen
centuries. but the writing is perfectly
legible. It is written In Greek charac-
ters, which are almost microscope
cally minute, with scarlet initials.
There are about 800 words.
1t is certainly no part OF any extapt
gospel. but its theological value must
be left TO the theologians. 1t is unu-
sually well written from literary
viewpoint II begins in the middle OF a
speech. Jesus and his disciples have
entered the temple and met Pharisee,
who rebukes them for omitting some
ceremonial of ablution.
Jesus asks the Pharisee what the lat
ter has done to comply with the cere-
monial. The Pharisee's reply minutely
describes the process of purifica ation.
of which no previous authority has
given the details.
Then follows powerful, eloquent
denunciation by Jesus of mere outward
publication, he saying that he and his
disciples have been purified by the wa
ters of life. There is also a mention of
hitherto unknown part of the temple
called the Hegneuterian or place of pu-
rification.
Theological circles are greatly inter-
ested in the discovery, which promises
a sensation equal to that created by

The opening of the vault of the Cali
fornia Title Insurance and Trust Com
pany, in the Kohl building. at noon
yesterday, revealed that the records
therein were not in the least injured.
The vault was opened under the di-
rection Of President Henry l.. Davis
and Manager A. T. SPOTS. The find
ing of the records intact was of the
greatest possible Importance in con-
nection with the report by Andrew j.
Carmany manager of the Title Insur-
ance and Guaranty Company. that the
records of that corporation are also in
tact.
The significance of the fact is that
whatever has happened TO the official
records of real estate transactions in
the city and county of San Francisco.
there are now known TO be in existence
two sets of books and papers, each
corroborative of the other, and from
the two, if necessary, the land records
of San Francisco from the earliest
days down to April 18, 1906, can be
entirely produced.
When it was made known exclu-
sively by The Call, that the Title In
surance and Guaranty Company had
lost no books or papers, the question
was raised whether these alone would
be taken In court as conclusive evi-
dence. The other great title searching
corporation having the same sort of
transcripts, two competent sources OF
Information that cannot be disputed
are now in q position to satisfactorily
establish the validity of titles.
This conc,1rrauCa of racord raCo,,i., o.

news that owners of real estate In San
Francisco can have at this stage of af-
fairs The records establish sales,

hundreds of millions of dollars in
total the value of lands improved and

While it is supposed that the books
and records of all banks in the city
are secure, If there should be any
losses by fire the lack of records can
now be supplied. The value of the
preserved archives of the companies
that search titles may be TO them mil
lions of dollars.
President Davis OF the California
Title Insurance and Trust Company
says that the city of Chicago paid
s2,000,000 to the title companies for a
duplicate set of recorcs after the great
fire in Chicago.
The Merchants Association of San
Francisco has addressed a commune
cation to the California Title Insur-
ance and Trust Company. the Title In
surance and Guaranty Company and
the City Abstract Company, urging
them to offer the use or their memor-
anda to the proper authorities. that
the public records of land titles in this
city may be reconstructed.

HERO OF GORKY
Fight for Chance to Shake
Hands of POlygamOuS
Russian Writer.
Many Persons Bruised in
Crush Before the Doors
Of a Lyceum.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Men and
women fought for a chance to shake
hands with Maxim Gorky at the close
of an address to more than 1000
persons in the Labor Lyceum, Will
lansburg, last evening. Many were
bruised and the fact that no one was
seriously injured was considered sur
prising. 1t was nearly an hour before
Gorky and his bodyguard of twenty
men were able to fight their way to the
street.
When the meeting. under the aus
pices of the Russian Revolutionary So
ciety, was opened every chair was
taken and of the 1000 auditors at least
500 were women. AS Gorky appeared
on the platform enthusiasm broke
forth Men and women arose and
yelled their welcome, and in their ex-
citement hats. coats-in fact. all things
available-were thrown into the air.
After the address Gorky retired to
his dressing-room to wait for the hall
to empty The audience had no idea
of going, however. and crowding TO
the open door of his room, where a
Gordon of club members stood guard, it
shouted his name at the top of its
lungs. crying that it wished to shake
his hand-to be allowed to touch him.
After a wait of twenty minutes
Gorky decided to try to reach the
street. His appearance was the signal
for another outburst. Men and women
fought to get to his side. and scores.

APPENDICITIS STORY.
6owbells Lad Said to Have Had a
Prune Pit in His Appendix.


Bowbells Tribune. Robert, the IA
year-o old son of Mr. and. Mrs John
Rennie, died at the Central hotel In
this city on Monday night last. at 10
pendicitis. He put in Thursday of last
week helping to put up hay, and SEEM
ed in the prime of health and most
happy in spirit. Driving up to the
barn with load, he slid feet first to
the ground, after which he complained
of pain in the bowels. but this soon
passed away and before going home
he assisted. in, bringing in two more
loads. After supper he indulged in
pleasantries with others of the family,
and on retiring made no complaint of
feeling i'll. When his mother went to
his room to call him to breakfast next
morning, he complained of pains in the
lower part of his stomach, and as
these grew more intense he was
brought to town Saturday for treat
ment Dr. Moe, who was called, at
once announced 1t a bad case of APP
pendicitis, and phoned DIR. Windell of
Minot, who arrived later with his
brother, Dr. Windell from Kenmare,
and an operation for removal of the
appendix was performed by them at
an early hour Monday morning. The
bowels were found in a very bad con-
dition, and in the appendix was a
large prune pit, supposed TO have been
lodged there for several years, judg-
ing from its condition, and which had
worked out on either side of the APP
pendix. The case was put down as a
hopeless one from the start and the
young lad survived the operation only
nine hours, dying at 10 o'clock Monday
night, in great agony. Four years ago
Robert was brought to the village and
treated for the same ailment by Drs.
Windell and baskerville, the latter
since deceased at which time it was
deemed that an operation was unnec-
essary, the lad being of tender years,
and the physicians believing that he
would grow out of it. 1t is now
thought, however that the prune pit
that found Judgment in the appendix
was there at the time, and that the
