FOUGHT TO DRAW.
Hugh Kelly and "BIIIy" PHpLe Went
 Ten Rounds.

Milwaukee. Wis. Dec. 30.-Hugo Kelly. of Chicago and Billy" Papke of Spring Valley. H., fought ten rounds to a draw before the athletic club tonight.
 Both fighters started in fiercely. us- ing rights and lefts with frightful ef- feet Kelly knocked Papke down for TWO of the counts.
 The first round was easily Kelly's. The second round ended with honors even. In the third round. Papke drew hlood from Kelly's right eye and Kelly in turn jabbed Papke's face, also draw ing blood
 Tho fourth round was easily Papkc's. flooring Kelly with vicious right to the body The fifth was fast and fu rious Kelly seeming to have the bet ter of the round. Both men bored in with rights and lefts to the head and body in the sixth and Kelly upper cutting with good effect
 The seventh round was Papke's Kel lv being pretty well ,winded at the end of the round. In the eighth Kelly did considerable clinching and seemed weary. The fight in the ninth looked much like a decision for Papke who had Kelly wobbling from a fusilade of rights, lefts and upper cuts.
 In the last round Kelly evened up any advantage scored by Papke up to that time. Kelly used right and left with good effect. keeping up a hot pace until the gong sounded. The decision was well received.

Engineer Conley Stricken
 on EUe of Investigation

once for a physician and an ambu- lance.
 Mir. Conlev's entire right side was pa aralyzed from his head to his hips. The physician said that everything that could he done then had been done by Mrs. Hicks. who Is somewhat of phy- sician. but without avail. MT. Conley was hurried bv the amb ulance to his home on Washington Street. where he was made as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. Tie physi- clan said that If the stroke had been on the left instead of the right side. it would have killed i'm instantly. Just before the attack he had told MT. Hicks that he did not forget the meeting order. but that his brakes refused to work. He said that at a station above Fairburn he had used his valve. but that when he tried 1t at Fairburn 1t refused to work. The supposition is that he was breeding over the acci- dent and while suffering from an acute attack of indigestion. the paralysis seized him. Yesterday morning MT. Hicks went to the general offices and told the officials that poor Conley was Tn bed. and in all probability, would never get up again. and that is why the investigation into the Fairburn wreck was never held.

Many Unopened Volumes.

Detroit, Mich., Dec 30.-Charles L. Freer of Detroit, art collector, student and traveller, has in his possession un- opened, volumes which will constitute a great addition3 to Biblical lore. The vellum pages, buried for centuries. are being translated as rapidly as possible by Prof. Sanders.
 The story of their discovery is still unknown to the world and will be made public only when the results of Prof. Sanderss research are published, which may be two or three years hence.
 The fragile leaves were once bound in book form Opening them and join ing the broken fragments is a delicate task. All of his spare time for nearly year has been spent by Prof. Sanders at MT. Freer's home. pulling together the bits of vellum and reading the in- scriptions. dimmed by burial in Egyp- tan sands for more than a thousand years. After the leaves are cautiously pried apart. they are placed between sheets of glass and photographed.
 The covers of one of the books bears the portraits of the four apostles. Mat thew. Mark Luke and John.
 MT. Freer's manuscripts are the first bearing so directly on the history of Christ's life to be brought to this coun- try. They antedated by several cen turles many or tle "rltiiss useu up in the present Scriptures. Prof. San ders's revelation of the newly discov- cred quotation from Jesus Is the first published intimation of the finding of the manuscripts Speaking of these discoveries. MT. Freer' said:
 "The fragments of hundreds of pages of manuscripts written in Greek on vellum are locked in my vault. Their significance and possibilities are limit less. Their effect on Christian relig- ion cannot sbe estimated"

her first marriage with von Kruse. acted absolutely. She mentioned va rious details.
 Countess Danckieimann swore to cir cumstances detrimental to Mrs. von F.lbe and to Count von Moltke's enthu- siastic admiration of his fiance during their engagement. When he was first engaged to be married, he wrote of his brilliant and good fortune in winning such remarkable woman.
 After considerable amount of ev- idence from servants and others re- garding tho hysterical nature of Mrs. von Elbe, a physician attached to the law courts, gave the expert opinion. gathered during the entire course of the proceedings, that he had not ob- served the least foundation for the ac- cusation of abnormalitv against von Moltke.
 After this statement. Count Kuno von Moltke himself took the stand. He de- clared that he had hardly slept for two months. He roiected the statement that he habitualIy used cosmetics to beauti- fy his appearance. but said he was in the habit of using smelling salts. He explained the notorious handkerchief incident by declaring that owing to the jealousy of his wife he refrained for several weeks from visiting Iu Eulen- bergs house, although his office was in the building. After a scene with his wife one day. he picked up handker- chief belonging to Zu Eulenberg and kissed 1t in an affectionate manner to see whether or not this would pro- yoke an outbreak of jealousy from the Countess.
 Dr. Magnus Hirschfold. who, at the last trial, swore that von Moltke was abnormal, was severely cross examined today and withdrew his previous state- ments. The taking of evidence then came to an end and the case was ad- iourned. The final pleading will be heard tomorrow and judgment prob ably will be rendered on Thursday.

ARE IN BUT ONE
GREENE COUNTY DoEs NOT WANT
 SCHOOL.
Each of Other FOrty-seven Counties Have Submitted Application for a County High
 School.

All of the forty-seven counties in the State that are entitled to participate in the provisions of the high school bill. with the exception of one, have applied for locations of these schools. Greene County Is yet to be heard from with an application.
 1t is probable that the work of awarding the schools will be com menced early in January. as there are a number of places already practically decided upon by the High School Board and it Is desired to have the locations fixed at as early a date as possible in order that the school commissioners in the counties may get to work to have the schools established.
 The reason assigned for the failure of Greene County to apply for one of the sch hools Is that the majority of the population of the County is of negroes, and that there are no towns of suffi- cient size with a sufficient number of white residents to make very fatter- ing offer.
 There will be vigorous contests in several counties over the award of the school sites. and where there is a very decided fight on the representatives from the various claimants will be asked to come to Montgomery and set tie the matter here before the Board.

 Co Hack to Ohio.

GO Back 10 OhlOs
 Birmingham, Dec. 30.y-(Special.)- Mrs. Carrie von Bernewitz will not have to return to Ohio to stand trial on charge of bigamy.
 When the decision was made this af- ternoon at o'clock a number of the woman's friends took her by the hand and congratulated her. None was more enthusiastic than her attorneys. who fought hard in her interests. Attorneys nn the other side seemed to be non plussed at first and then one of them gave notice that the decision would probably be appealed.
 Arguments in the case were con cluded late Saturday afternoon and Judge A. o. Lane of the Circuit Court announced that he would make his de- cision Monday afternoon. At the ap- pointed time all persons interested were present. Judge Lane said that evidence and papers having to do with motiv had been eliminated. He an nounced on the other hand that the affidavits from Ohio were insufficient saving the law was clear on that point.
 With these things eliminated he said 1t narrowed down to the evidence of Hi Bumbli. the Ohio officer. and wit nesses on the other side, including the defendant herself. He said that he would give the benefit of the question of identity to the defendant and dis missed her.

A SAYING OF CHRIST
LOST CHAPTER OF BIBLE IS RE-
 yEALED TO WORLD.
The Lost Fragment Belongs to Six tcenth Chapter of Gospel of St, Mark and Follows
 Fourteenth Verse.

Chicago. Dec 30.-The Daily News today savs:3
 A new saving of Christ. lost to the world for thirteen centuries and found in Egypt was given to the world Tor the first time today by Professor Henry A. Sanders of the University of Mich1- gan. addressing the members of the Arch geological Institute. nRw in ses- sion at the University of CAicago The fragment is part of an old Bible dating back to the Moslem conquest of Egypt, and on .ts face Is so authentic as to disarm hostile criticism.
 The Iong-lost fragment belongs to the sixteenth chapter of the Gospel of St. Mark and follows the fourteenth verse. It relates to the story of Christs ap- pearance following His death to eleven of his apostles in Jerusalem.
 With the new verse the Bible reads thus:
 Mary xvi IA: And they answered, saying that this age of unrighteousness and unbelief is under the power of Satan. who does not permit the things which are made impure by the (eviD spirits to comprehend the truth Of God and His power. For this reason, Reveal Thy righ teousness now. They said to Christ and Christ said to them: The limit of the years of the power of Satan has been fulfilled but
  was delivered unto death on behalf of those who sinned in order that they may inherit the spiritual, indestruct- ible glory of righteousness which Is in heaven"
 In discussing the new verse, Prof. Sanders said:. ,s.
 This newly discovered paragraph was known to St. Jerome and the first few lines of it are cited in Latin trans lations. It has long been claimed that Mark 16. 1920 was an addition to the Gospel borrowed from some other un- known gospel near the end of the second century. This new manuscript probably presents the original form of that part of the lost gospel which, mutilated. was added to Mark. The reason for the omission is quite ap- parent, as the new verse contains the statement that the destruction of sin in the world is near at hand. This idea is found in the Epistles of Peter and Paul but the four gospels do not have it and 1t is avoided by the later church writers"

THOMAS IS BOUGHT
RYAN GETS ANOTHER MAN FROM
 MINNEAPOLIS.
He Is Pitcher With . Good Record tn the American Association,
 and Was Formerly With MinneayOlfs

One by one Manager Ryan Is cIinch- ing the deals that he told the local association that he could make if he was given the money. He was unlni- mously voted the money and now he Is delivering the goods.
 Late last night The Advertiser receiv- ed telegram from Ryan in which he said that he had succeeded in buying ia pitcher named Thomas from the aiinae- apolis club of the American Ascocih- tion. He has been after Thomas for some time and in letter received from Ryan Sunday he said that he could not do anything until waivers had been asked by Minneapolis from all the clubs of the American Association. Thomas is one of the best pitchers in the Ameri" can Association. He Is quiet. gentle winter. and his habits and character cxerted powerful influence on tho Minneapolis club.
 His batting Is above the average for pitcher and his average for 1907 w,,s: 31 games, 96 times at bat. runs, J9 hits batting average .f9S.
 In fielding he had: 31 games. put outs, 75 assists. errors and fielding average of .975. His pitching record last summer was: 31 games. 24i in- nings pitched, 925 men faced him, 2i3 hits made off him not quite a game) 126 runs made on him, Ca fraction over bases on balls. (not ? a game). struck out S9 men. (nearly a game), made only wild pitches, won II and lost 16.
 His wonderful control is a feature and the fact that he did not win as many games as lost Is accounted for by the circumstance that the club behind him ranked seventh in both batting and fielding, Milwaukee being last In both deoartments.
 This gives Ryan a complete battery from the Minneapolis club-Buck shan non and Thomas-and gives him nine pitchers sure. seven right handlers and two southpaws.
 With a good team behind him it's a good bet that Thomas will win lots more games than he will lose during the coming season with Montgomery.

Nandy Not in the Running;
 Montgomery Wins in q Walk.

backed by the whole gallery drowned out the Vanderbilt roofing with pro longed cheers for the Montgomery team.
 The teams came upon the floor promptly at S:30 o'clock, and went through q strenuous practice. The Montgomery team. while they missed goals frequently, showed that they were not all nervous. but the Wander bilt boys showed that they are ex- tremely doubtful as to their ability
 The game throughout was singularly a clean one, striking comparison with other teams which the local as- sociation has played. There were fre- quent fouls at the beginning, but there was not a single man nurt, nor was time called except 10 repair q broken shoe.
 On Thursday night the local associa- ton will play the Champions of the ..ldle Wesl. the University of Illinois. This game the Montgomery players and rooters look forward to as probably the best to be played on the floor. And judging from the exhibition ot the Montgomery team against their col lege rivals last night. the local team should get the big end of the score Certainly 1t will be a hard fought game. but the Montgomery team has acquired a confidence in itself that will be hard to down. and also a con- fidence that knows that 1t can't be beat
 The score in detail follows:
 Goals from field-Davis, s: Hall 6; Patterson 2: Susong g.
 For vanderbilt-Neely ?; Tillman l.
 Goals from foul-Montgomery. Su- song G.
 Vanderbilt-Throop 9.
 Total score: Montgomery s4. Wander bilt IS.
 The lineup of both teams follows;
 Vanderbilt-V. Blake, centre; Neely. and Tillman forwards; Throop and Patterson guards.

Vanderbilt, the much heralded Vandy the team with all of the Southern athletic stars as it's personnel, was de- feated last night on the local Y. M. c A. floor by the Montgomery Associa- tion team to the tune of 34 to 10. The college boys seemed to be demoral- ized from the start, and at no stage of the game were they even the equals to the Montgomery team.
 Before the game 1t was the impress sion that the college boys would deJ feat the Montgomery team by a large score, some said three to one. But from the start it was evident that Vanderbilt was nervous, and after the first goal rattled.
 The game throughout was intensely exciting. All of the players were in excellent physical condition, making never a dull moment in the playing on account of one team or the other resting to catch their breath.
 During the first part of the first half fouls by both sides were predomi- nant. each side making several, and see saving the score. but with Mont gomery always taking the lead for Vanderbilt to follow. Towards the lat tre part of the half fouls became less frequent, and the Montgomery team began to get their scoring machine into operation, Davis and Hall throw ing the greater number of goals from the field. The half ended with the score IT to in Montgomery's favor.
 In the second half the Montgomery team simply swept the college boys off their feet. and rubbed in the de- feat. It almost seemed that the col lege team quit They made rallies at times and by the end of the game mad tripled their score of the first half. The rallies did not last long, however, and Montgomery romped through the second twenty minutes scoring almost at will.
 The gallery of the Y. N. c. A. pre- sented q riotuous scene. The sponsors for Vanderbilt, Miss Flora Stakely and Miss Gene Burke, wore the colors or Vanderbilt and with their escorts cheered on their team with the Wander bilt yell.
 But the Montgomery sponsors Miss Olivia Bogacki and Miss Eleanor Crum.

NEGRO AssAILANT ARRESTED.
He Recently Knocked Down Thre
 YOung White Girls.

Scranton. Pa, Dec. 30.-Robert Perry a negro. was arrested tonight by the police on suspicion of being the as- sailant of the three young women, who during the past six weeks. have been knocked down and left for dead by some apparently crazy or degenerate fiend,
 Perry was caught in Green Ridge late tonight, acting in suspicious manner. When searched. a section of wagon tongue. three feet long, with the butt end padded. was found slung across his shoulder under his overcoat. The police officials are confident that Perry committed all three assaults.
 The last of the three girls recently assaulted. identified her assailant as a negro. The other two were struck from behind and did not see who struck them. In each instance. the victim was rendered unconscious but only su- perficial wounds were inflicted. This the police authorities attribute to the heavy padding on Perry's club.
