MAURA IS WEAK
So King Alfonso Has Suspended the Sessions of Parliament
 in the Meantime
! NEW ELECTION

Madrid, Jan 26.-King Alfonso to- day issued decree suspending the sessions of parliament, as it had be- come evident that Senor Maura, the conservative leader, who formed a cabinet yesterday, with himself as premier. could not command ma jority in the chambers.
 An early submission of the issue between church and state to the peo- pie, through a dissolution of parlia- ment and new elections. is the only means of clearing up the situation. The clericals and the reactionaries are jubilant, as the mere fact of the conservatives being In power will give them great advantage at the polls.

CONFERENCE HELD
At INDIANAPOLIS
Railroad Commission Hears
The PennSyIvania's Side
Of the Case.
OBJECTS TO INTERCHANGE.
WILLING TO MAKE 1T AT SOME
POINT OTHER THAN THE CON-
GESTED ONE THAT HAS BEEN
PROPOSED.

indianapolis. Ind, Sept 5.-The state
railroad commission today gave a hear
ing to the Panhandle and C. c. & l..
railroads in regard to putting in a
switch at Richmond for the inter-
change of freight. AS has been the
situation since the Commercial club
of Richmond asked for an Interchange
the Panhandle is opposing it and the
c.. c. & L. is willing to accede TO the
request.
superintendent Neff. of the Rich
mond division of the Panhandle. was
on the stand throughout the morning
session. Appearing also for the Penn
sylvania were Attorney Pickens and
General Superintendent McCarty Rep
resenting the city of Richmond were
Edgar NJ. Haas and Attorney r. X.
Shiveley. while General superintendent
and Attorney John F. Robbins repre-
scented the c., G.. & l..
Supt. Neff, on behalf of his road. sub
mitted two propositions, and opposed
placing the interchange switch near
North Fifth and ID streets, contending
that it would longest traffic for his
road, and rob ii of tracks which it is
laying for its own use
The first proposition offered the c..
c. & L.. is that a switch be put in from
the spur that runs to the Champion
roller mills, across FIT. Wayne avenue,
up North F street to join the switch
that runs into Gaar's plant. The pro-
posed switch would run along the south
side of North F street, making necessa-
ry the condemnation T a row of hous-
es. The estimated cost is $4,000.
This plan if adopted. would interfere
with Gaar's and would also
be fought by the c., C. & l..
The second proposition on the part
of the Panhandle is that the switch be
put in at the point north of Richmond
where the c.. C. & l.. crosses the G. r.
4 /. The switch would circle to the
west to hit the Chicago division. By
this route. carload of freight in be-
ing interchanged would have to travel
about ten miles out of its course
The hearing was still in progress
this afternoon.

EGIDU or NINEvEH.
The Most Ancient Banking House of
Which We Have Record.

There was a kind of public record
office attached to the palace and tenn
pie at Nineyeh in which it was Gus
tomary to deposit important legal and
other documents. such as contracts
and agreements for the purchase and
sale of property. marriage settlements,
wills. etc. Among these there were
discovered official statements as to the
history and transactions of the emf
nent banking house of Egidu at Nine
yeh. Assyrian chronology proves that
these refer to a date about 1900 years
before the Christian era. when Abra-
ham dwelt at Ur of the Chaldees, as is
stated in Genesis. We may therefore
claim for this firm tie reputation of
being the Oldest bank in the world Mt
least of which we have any record or
are likely to have. The accounts are
very voluminous and cover the trans
actions of five generations of the house
from father TO son. The firm grew rap
idly in Importance during this period.
during which they attained great
wealth. for they succeeded in securing
from the king the appointment of col
lectors of taxes, a position which in
the east always leads to fortune. They
afterward farmed the revenue for sew
eral of the Assyrian provinces with
very great gain to the firm.-T. P.'s

Pliny's yarns about human anatomy
were something wonderful. He tells
of race OF savage men whose feet
are turned backward and of a race
known as Ionocoli. who have only
one leg, but are able TO leap with sur
prising agility The same people are
also called the SCtapodae. because thev
are in the habit Of lying on their
backs during the extreme heat and
protecting themselves from the sun by
the shade Of their feet. These people
dwell not far from the Troglodytae. 70

their eyes IN their shoulders.
