young business man pledged himself
TO the work one day each week, taking
the time away from his business, to do
the canvassing

ings of the young men should be held
from eleven TO one o'clock each day

WORKMEN LIVE IN TENTS.
Newcast Short Of Accommodations
For Men Who Are Arriving Daily.

Newcastle, Ind, April 3-Tent ho-
tells are expected to spring up in var
ious parts of this city for the purpose
of accommodating the large number of
men who are coming in to work on
the several big projects under way. At
the present time hotels and boarding
houses are crowded and it is with
great difficulty that men coming here
can find eating and sleeping accommo-
dationS.
Several large hotels and flats are to
be erected soon. Until these are
completed temporary quarters will
have TO be provided, and with the ar
rival of warm weather tents form the
only solution to the question.

LIGHT ON NEWARK TRAGEDY
Woman whose Body Was Found in
Pond Identified as Mira.
Agnes Young.

NEW YORK. Dec 30-Some light was
thrown today on the mystery surrounding
the death of the woman whose nude body

n j. when Mrs. Frank Hull of this city
went to the Newark morgue and declared
positively that the dead woman was Mrs.

her and later with a Mrs. King. in Brook
lyn. The police believe that Mrs Hulrs
Identification is correct Mrs. Hull said
she went TO Jersey City with Mrs. Young
on Christmas day. Following luncheon
she parted with her companion who. she
understood was going TO Newark to
join a houseboat party.
When Mrs. Hull learned Of the murder
through the newspapers and saw that the
description of the dead woman seemed
TO fit her friend she informed the police
that she believed that the murdered
woman was Mrs. Young. who had been
employed at one time as a stenographer
and typewriter in a west side hotel She
said Mrs. Young was the wife of an
engineer, but that she had not lived with
her huGJand for several years. In com
pany with the detective Mrs. Hull went
to the Newark morgue and after viewing
the body said there was no doubt OF its
identity.
Mrs. Hull says that when they left
Mrs. Kings home on Christmas morning
Mrs. Young had $500 in her purse and
wore a diamond ring on their arrival
at Jersey City they were met by man,
whom she named. with whom they had
luncheon. When the luncheon party broke

charge proved so strong as to open UP the
earth to such an extent that he was en-
tombed. He might have been entombed yet,
but for the accidental discovery OF his
plight number OF mine officials while
going through the diggings, came to the
point where o'Millian was entombed They
at once saw that something was wrong
When the debris was cleared the officials
were astonished to have a maniac dash
among them from the room, knock two Of
the rescuers down and put up a vigorous
fight bfore he was overpowered.
Nothing could be done for the Slav to re-
store his mental balance. He was insane
from hunger and fear.

MAGNEY ON JAIL FEEDING
Renders Opinion County Board Can
not Let Contract to sheriff
Under New Law.

Deputy County Attorney Magney late
Monday afternoon filed with the county
board an opinion holding the board cannot
let the Jail feeding contract to Sheriff elect
Bradley because of section in the statute
which forbids a county officer from hav-
ing an interest In a contract with the
county. The penalty for violating the law
makes It practically a felony for county
officer to enter into such a contract.
The result of the opinion will be to
undo what the board has done under the
new law providing that the feeding Of
prisoners in the county jail shall be done
by contract. Sheriff-elect Bradley was the
lowest of a number of bidders and the
board has already awarded him the con-
tract at le cents a day per prisoner. At
this price the county would save about
5000 year in the cost OF running the jail.
Mr.. Magney has been asked for another
opinion as to whether or not the law pro-
viding for the feeding OF prisoners by con-
tract is constitutional III II is not the
commissioners viii allow Sheriff Bradley
to feed the prisoners at the price named
I'm his bid without formal contract. II
the law is held constitutional It will be
necessary to let the bid to someone else.
The next bid above Mr.. Bradley was %
cents a day.

cOvery while searchinE
I'm ERypt.N

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-The Daily News
today says that a new saying of Christ.
lost to the world for thirteen centuries and
found in Egypt. was given to the world
for the first time today by Prof. Henry
Sanders. OF the University Of Michigan, ad-
dressing the members OF the Archaeological
institute, now in session at the Univer-
sity Of Chicago. The fragment is part of
an old bible dating back to the Moslem
conquest of Egypt and on its face is SO
authentic as TO disarm hostile criticism.
The long lost fragment belongs I'm the
sixteenth chapter of the gospel OF s. Mark
and follows the fourteenth verse. 1t re-
lstes to the story of Christs appearance,
following his death. to eleven of his apos-
ties in Jerusalem with the new verse the
bible reads thus:
Mark. l6-1l-And they answered saying
that this age Of unrighteousness and un-
belief is under the power Of Satan. who
does not permit the things which are
prehend the truth OF God and his God
For this reeson reveal thy righteousness
now they said to Christ. and Christ said
to them
''The limit Of the years Of the power Of
Satan has been fulfilled, but other terrible
things are at hand. and l was delivered
unto death on behalf OF those who sinned,
IN order that they may return to the truth
and sin no more to the end that they may
inherit the spiritual, indestructibie glory
OF righteousness which is in Heaven"
Prof. Sanders declared that the new
found script also contains what is known as
the liturgical ending Of the Lords prayer.
The text was found he said, by Charles
L. Freer OF Detroit who was searching
in Egypt for additions to his collection.
