SANDERS CASE CAUSES TALK.
Collectors Resignation Declared to
Be Virtual Removal.

Considerable mystery surrounds the aC-
ton of the administration in asking for
the resignation of Archie b. Sanders.
United states collector OF internal reve-
nue. for the district OF Western New
York. with headquarters at Rochester
but, according TO what IS being said in
some quarters, there is an interesting
story. involving fractional troubles in the
Republican party, behind the virtual re-
moval Of the collector.
No charges were preferred against Mr.
Sanders. it is admitted and officially the
most that is said in explanation Of the
matter is that Mr.. Sanders has been in
Office for a long time.
Mr. Sanders was appointed to the col
lectOrship in 1898 by President Mckinley.
on the recommendation of James ".
Wadsworth, then and until March last,
the Representative in Congress for the
Thirty-f0urth New York district Former
Gov Benjamin 3. OdeT indorsed Mr
WadswOTth's recommendation. According
to what is said now, the main reason for
the request for Sanders resignation was
that he was a WadswOrth man. but there
The bitter feeling engendered between
President Roosevelt and eX-Representa-
tive Wadsworth over the beef investiga-
ton has increased instead of diminished
and il is claimed by Nj WadswOrth's
friends that nobody holding a Federal
Office in Western New York, who owed
his appointment to Wadsworth, has any
chance OF being retained
In connection with the call for Collec-
tor Sanders resignation, the story has
come out that the President is showing
many favors in the way Of appointments
10 Peter A. Porter. who defeated Wads-
worth for Congress in the Thirty fourth
district last November. Mr, Porter was
elected as a Democrat and Independence
League candidate but he has announced
that ne Will act with the Republicans in
the SiXtieth Congress, and will attend the
Republican caucus. The President. il is
said has recognized Mr.. Porter as a
member of the dominant party and has
followed his recommendations with regard
to appointments in several cases. There
is unofficial information that at Mr.. Por-
ter's instance six postmasters In the
Thirty-fourth district have been removed
or required to resign
Mr. Porter made his campaign upon the
differences between President Roosevelt
and Mr.. Wadsworth, and his election has
been attributed partly TO support he de
rived from the Federal administration. In
view of the present relationship said to
| exist between the President and Repre-
sentative Porter, Il would not surprise
some people here to learn that Mr. Porter
had hand in bringing about the demand
for Collector Sanders resignation.

EXPLAINS GALILEE MIRACLE
Professor Denies Story of Walking
on Surface of Water.
Declares Translation from Greek Is
NOt Literal and should Read
'sBy the sea"
special to The Washington HenId.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa, April IS-Wnliam a.
Lamberton. professor Of Greek languages
at the University Of Pennsylvania. in an
address before the American Philosophi-
cal Society. in the University of Pennsyl-
vania here to-day, declared the story Of
Christ walking on the water TO be d
fable
"The Interpretation Of the Greek in the
Book of john" he said. might be trans
lated TO mean by the water with as
much authority as on the water The
same is true of the version Of Matthew
and Mark. while Luke does not mention
the miracle"
In the development Of his theme. en-
titled Narratives of the Walking on the
Sea, Prof. Lamberton analysed the men
tai processes of Christ and his disciples.
Before the followers embarked on the
boat, he pointed out they We're FASTENED
away by their Master, who feared the
temper Of the multitude in which there
was apparent the desire to raise Him up
a leader.
The disciples. discerning the mind OF
the crowds, were confused at the haste
with which they had been hurried away.
Christ went TO the mountains to pray,
declared Prof. Lamberton, and later re-
turned 70 the side of the sea, where He
saw the disciples approaching land. The
confusion in the original Greek of the
books of Matthew, Mark. and John. he
said, showed a confused remembrance of
the actual happening in the minds Of the
writers.
In their haste to meet Him. they proba-
bly, increased their efforts at the oars and
reached land before they realized il.
Hence the impression that He had walked
to them. The conclusion was not new, he
stated. John Weiss and Edwin \. Abbott

that about three weeks before the APP

him as he was entering the courtroom
