Rio. A serious question is whether
the population of the captured towns
and that of the thickly settled and
marvelously rich Vuelta Abajo tobac-
co region surrounding them will join
Guerrera's forces. If they do the in.
surgent leader will approach Pinar
Del Rio in overwhelming force.
The outcome depends on the loyalty

A detachment of $50 Cuban artil

Pinar Del Rio, where they will CO,
operate with the rural guards and
volunteers. These artillerymen, how
ever, can only act as infantry. as they
have not been trained to use field
guns. A hospital corps and other de

what is expected to be short and
decisive campaign.

tie Known Races.

The romantic work of ascertaining
the light which modern exploration
can throw upon the Palestine of the
biblical age and upon Old Testament
narratives aGds to-day another vol
nme to the library that has accumu.
lated since these researches began In
1864
The new volume, Bible Sidelights
from the Mound of Gezer," is by the
well-known antiquary, II. A. Stewart
Macalister, director of excavations for
the Palestine exploration fund.
The site OF the ancient and buried
city of Gezer was identified SO years
back, but its excavation is the most
recent enterprise, begun In 1902 and
brought down to last summer, when
some glimpses of the results achieved
were given at the annual meeting of
the Palestine exploration fund. The
present book is the forerunner and
popular summary of the complete
memoir now in preparation on a scale
81 considerable magnitude.
The excavations have added 1900
years to the early history of Gezer,
dating 1t back to 5000 b. c.. when a
diminutive cave dwelling race lived
there. A landmark in its biblical his,
tory is that the city was given by
the king of Egypt to his daughter
when she married Solomon. 1t stood
on the verge of the territory inhabited
by that mysterious race, the Philis-
tines, and when David routed them
he went in pursuit as far as Gezer.
Among the many Old Testament
stories which have fascinated human.
ity are the idyll of Rebecca Genesis
24) and the exploits of Samson.
Rebecca, who went to draw water
from a well, was picked out from
other maidens by the servant of Abra-
ham, who was In quest of a wife for
his masters son. She thus became the
wife of the patriarch Isaac, and the
mother of Esau and Jacob. The UNI
earthing OF houses at Gezer helps
experts to fill in the story OF the
wooing of Rebecca by reconstructing
FOR us the home of the maiden and
her interesting brother Laban.
The death of Samson, narrated in
the Book of Judges, has been ranked
as a myth by critics, who could not
accept the possibility of his supposed
achievement in pulling down the pill.
lars and killing so many Philisunes
But in a stratum at Gezer, some 300
years older than the time of Samson,
the excavators have found a form of
building which answers to remark
able extent the conditions of the
story. 1t is temple with portico
supported by four wooden pillars.
The discoveries at Gezer also en-

ton of the Horites. a hitherto un-
known race of cave dwellers referred
to in Genesis and Deuteronomy. The
Amorites, who are mentioned for
their "iniquities" in Genesis, now
stand In clearer light, for their many
forms of idolatry and moral abomina-
lions are better understood by the
digging out of the High Place" of
Gezer, which is the largest early Pal
istinian sanctuary or place of worship
yet unearthed.

DUBOIS ARRAIGNS PRESIDENT
Says Executive Leans Toward Cause
of Mormon Polygamists.
Accuses Roosevelt of Helping Sup
Plural Marriages Are Common.

President Roosevelt is an open ally of
attitude in the recent Investigations into
the conditions of that church.
He resents the publishing Of the tes-
timcny in the case Of Apostle Reed
Smoot, and insinuates that countless good
women of the country are being misled
in their attacks on the Mormons and
the unchristian principles on which the
creed is based. The political influence Of
the administration was never more
strongly felt in Idaho than in the last
gubernatorial campaign, and 1t was un-
reservedly thrown on the side Of the
Mormon Church"
Senator Fred T. Dubois. Of Idaho, de-
livered the above statement with great
conviction In a lecture on "M0rm0nism"

chapel Of the Rust Institute on North
Capitol street The Senator. who ex-
planned tnat he had been delivering cam
paign speeches on that subject for the

clear exposition Of the beliefs and prac-
tees of the church, and Iucidly demon
stIated the political control which the
leaders exercise over the members.
He spoke in highest terms of the
Mormon organization as machine, and
became bit sarcastic in speaking Of the
tithes which are regularly collected. and
Of which no account is given In speak
ing Of the prevalence Of polygamy in the
Mormon section, he said:
''Polygamy still exists despite the mani
festo of the church against It; It flourishes
under the very eye OF the twelve apostles.

Formerly this was confined mainly to the
poorer classes. but now al young men Of
ability are forced to lead this life if
they wish TO obtain any prominence in
the church or in politics. There is an

aristOcracy controls eight United States

WATER TRANSPORTATION.
River and HarbOr Congress TO Open
Here on Thursday.

Reaching Washington yesterday in
time to attend the opening Of the ses-
sion. Representative Joseph z. RansdeIl.
of Louisiana, completed a vacation"
journey that totals more than 10000
miles. He has been addressing con
ventions in support OF the waterways
Improvement movement. Mr.. Ransdell
is chairman of the executive commit
tee Of the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, which holds its annual con-
vention at the Arlington. Thursday and
Friday.
"The sentiment in favor of water
ways development is truly wonderful"
he said. From every section the de-
mand for Improvement of the rivers
and harbOrs is gaining strength. Never
in the history of the United States has
commerce reached such proportions
and the transportation facilities are
totally unable to care for the great tide
of traffic As a result. merchants and
manufacturers are barred from the
markets at a time when high prices
prevail, and the loss. both TO the pro-
ducer and the consumer, is heavy and
discouraging.
Water transportation has been built
up and maintained by other commercial
countries. with the result that much
foreign trade that should be ours is
taken from beneath our very noses.
That's what commercial America wants
now-water transportation. and the de-
mand is growing in strength and in
sistence."
