touch May Have Been Modified.
The pontifcial commission appoint
ed by Pope Plus X. to make an inves-
tigation and show the correct attitude
of the Catholic church toward higher
criticism of the five books of the old
testament known as Pentateuch has
made partial report, which has been
approved by the pope, says the New

sion declares that Moses is indisputa-
bly, the author of these books, but
that, due regard being paid to the
judgment of the church, it may be al
mitted that in tie long course of ages
which have elapsed since their COM
position, some notifications have
been introduced"
This last concession is already eaus-
ing some discussion among biblical
scholars. Some would corstrue it as
an admission that the Jentateuch is.
after all, not wholly inspired. In 9th
er words, this concession is looked
upon as latitude, itch, had it been
made public years ago, would have
aroused the conservative scholars OF
the Catholic church
Briefly, the report declares that il
can be conceded, without prejudice u
the Mosaic aufhartfcitx- 80 the pap4 a
teuch, that Moses in his works used
sources-that is, written documents or
oral traditions-from which, to suit
his special purpose. and under the in.
| fiuence Of divine inspiration, he Sc

in his own work, either verbally or in
substance, summarized or amplified"
| The above Is taken to mean that
the Pentateuch was partly compiled
| by Moses from the works of other
writer's who preceded or were con.
temporary with him. Again, the re
port declares that it need not he cab,
soluteiy held that Moses wrote with
his own hand or dictate to amanuen,
SEES all and everything contained in
it."
Further on, the report says it IS
possible to admit the hypothesis OF
those who think that Moses conceived
the work under the influence of divine
inspiration, ard then intrusted the
writing of it to some other person OF
persons. but in such manner that they
faithfully rendered his meaning. wrote
nothing contrary to his will. and omit
ted nothing, and that the work thus
formed, approved by Moses as the
principal and inspired author. was
made public under his name"
The report declares in closing, that
due regard being paid to the judg
ment of the church, 1T may be al
mitted that in the long course Of age
some notifications have been intro
duced into it. such as additions aftel

PROPOSED VISIT OF BRITISH
SQUADRON CAUSES COMMENT
Papers of Russia Have Much to Print
as Regards the Significance
of tho Matter.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 21.@The
papers this morning are full of COM
ment regarding the proposed visit of a
British squadron to Cronstadt this
summer, most OF them considering it
further overture for an Anglo Russian
entente, though it Is also regarded as
another step In Great Britain's altered
naval strategy, which looks upon the
Baltic and the North seas as the most
probable naval battle grounds Of the
future.
The Twentieth Century regards the
prospect Of an entente with approval
declaring that 1t would make for the
worlds peace by neutralizing the am
bilious diplomacy Of Germany, facili-
tate the settlement of the Balkan
question and give Russia time to re-
cuperate without fear Of foreign ag-
gression.
In this connection rumors Of the
forthcoming meeting between Emperor
William and Emperor Nicholas are re-
ceived with interest This is believed
to be move on the part of the Ger
man Emperor to prevent a consum-
nation Of Great Britadnis policy by
bringing his personal influence to bear
upon Emperor Nicholas.

WHARF AND BUNKERS
FALL INTO BAY.
Foreman Thompson of the California
City Rock Companys Dock Mar
rowly Escapes Death.

The dock and bunkers Of the Cali
fornia City Rock Company fell with
a crash into the bay yesterday, shortly
after noon, carrying with them the
foreman, Van B. Thompson. who had
a marvellous escape from death, get
ting off with slight injuries to his
arms and legs.
The dock was located at the foot of
Second street, at the intersection of
Berry. The bunkers, which are forty
eight feet long, were nearly filled to
their capacity with rock, amounting
to about $50 tons and barge No. 4
from the quarry was alongside, un-
loading more. Thompson, who Is the
foreman Of the dock and bunkers, had
just been walking along the top. and
hearing q cracking sound in the sup
ports beneath, he rushed to the lad
der to climb to the wharf below, and
was about half way down when bunk
ers. dock and rock all went crashing
into the bay, carrying Thompson down
with them. He was buried under
wreckage and hidden by a mass Of
timbers and flooring.
The noise attracted a great number
OF people, who came running from
all directions. Thompson was no.
where to be seen. Captain Callaghan
was the first to come to tho rescue,
ana insisted lnat ne mad seen the fore
man go down with the dock.
In a few minutes. to the amaze
ment of everybody, Thompson's head
was thrust through small opening
In the debris. He could just get his
eyes. nose and mouth out through the
aperture. A great shout went up
from the onlookers and men, women
and children rushed to his assistance
They ran In all directions for saws,
axes, crowbars and ropes, and In an
incredibly short time they had hacked
open place big enough to permit the
hauling out of the submerged and
nearly drowned man.
1t was nearly twenty minutes from
the time of the fall of the structure
until Thompson was rescued, although
the willing helpers worked as they had
never worked before. He was taken
to the Harbor Emergency Hospital,
where he was found to be bruised
from head to foot, but none of his in
Juries were Of a serious nature. Later
In the afternoon he was taken to his
nome at 1884 Ellis street
The wharf and bunkers are a total
loss, as well as the $50 tons of rock
which are now resting in the mud at
