John Mason Tyler, Of Plainfield,
Does Not Deny Story of
Offer to Science.

PLAINFIELD. Oct. 2.-John Mason
Tyler, brother of the late Colonel
Mason w. Tyler, Of this city. and son
of Americas greatest Greek scholar. is
said to have made an extraordinary
compact with scientists of wealth
whereby he has sold his head after
death for $4,000. 1t is because he is
reputed to nave the best shaped head
in America, with an extraordinary
brain development, that the question
becomes of such great interest to
science.
When the report was circulated at
Amherst College, and Professor Tyler
was asked for its ~verifcation, he de-
clined to make a direct statement, but
said that during his student days at
Leipsiz he believes he did make some
such agreement. However. the profess
sor Is inclined to treat the matter as a
joke. Mrs. Tyler Is very much dis
tressed over the suggestion Of such a
contract.

CATHOLIC CREED
COMPARED TO THE
j. S. CONSTITUTION
Father Courtney Speaks About
the Infallibility Of the
Church.

In arguing the infallibility of the
Roman Catholic. Church. Father Will
lam A. Courtney In ST. Joseph's Church
last night used the constitution of the
United States as a parallel for the
spoke on "Catholicity Without a
being conducted by the Fathers Of the
New York Apostolate this week for
non-C Catholics. He said in part:
"In the modern Christian world to-
day the most striking note is the di-
vision of Christianity. No organiza-
ton or was ever subject
to such division without failure and
destruction. If the government of this
country stands and prospers. it is be-
cause there is a unity of faith in the
doctrine of the Constitution. There is
a unity of fellowship In the exercise
of rights and privileges, and there Is
one central authority to interpret the
Constitution, guide the loyalty OF its
citizens and defend their rights and
prerogatives. So today the church
which would claim title to and founda-
ton from Jesus must needs be an
authoritative organization, with its
charter from Jesus Christ. IT must be
one in faith and worship. Its author
ity must be from God. If 1t is from
God it is certain. If 1t Is certain. then
It Is infallible.

Christ. He Is the official spokesman OF

of Christ's message. If he has the au-
thority of Christ to teach, then his au-
til ,rity in teaching must be certain. II
it Is certain, then it Is infallible.

Members of the bar of South eTn Alaska now in Valdez, including nearly every lawyer pract;cing in Valdez or Seward, agreed yesterd; y morning to send a message to Wash ington urging the immediate confirm ation of Judge Reid "for the good of the service."
 Judge Reld has made good inn pression upon the bar during his first week on the bench and the attorneys are satisfied that he will meet all re- quirements. Tn order, therefore, to exert any influence they may possess to prevent the uncertainty and tho handicap to judicial procedure in the Third division which would prevail if the nomination of the judge should be held up indefinitely they decided to place themselves on record in favor of his prompt confirmation.

The biggest mineral deposit in Alaska, with the possible exception of the Treadwell mines, is OF Pros pect bay, on the Alaska peninsula, lnd known as the Warner property :.
 Practically all forms of copper are noted i'll the mineral mass-bornite, glance, gray and sulphide-although the chalcopyrite Gre predominates. A native showed Warner the huge outcropin the fall of 1906. At that time Warner was engaged in opening up a scam of coal some fifteen miles away. He knew practically nothing of min eral, but picked up several pieces of float, but did not stake the proper 5y, as he did not realize it's value. On returning to the sta tes late that fall he took samples from the ledge with him, and out of idle curiosity took them to a Seattle assayer to be tested. He was amazed at the re- turns received. Ore which he had re- garded as practically valueless. went over $75, ln copper, gold and silver, to the ton. In his enthusiasm he told the assayer of the vast extent of the property, and how, in his ignorance, he had failed to locate it but intended to do so in the spring.
 The assayer, who knew a good thing when he saw it, devised a plan to beat Warner to the ground and thus become prior locator. He wrote to friend of his, who was an agent of the A. c. Go. in Western Alaska, giving details of the discov- cry and requesting the agent to go and locate the ground, with the un- derstanding that the assayer was to have a cut in the spells. The agent made two unsuccessful trips by dog sledge, but the snoWs of winter had changed the physical appearance of things, and the mantle of white pro- tected Warmers find for him until his return last spring, when pencil and hatchet were instruments in separat- ing this big bonanza from the public domain.

Henry Anderson admitted out of court and in it this morning that he was the man who sent to Assistant District Attorney Ray a certificate of deposit for $1O through the local post office. The matter might have kept Mr. Anderson busy for one while but for the fact that criminal charge which had been pending against him was dismissed few days ago Ac- eordingly Judge Reid read Anderson lecture and let him go with the ad- moniGion to sin no more in that way
 The case against Anderson was dis missed after wire communication with the department of justice at Wash ington. Anderson explained to the court that he knew MT. Ray had spent some money on telegrams and wished to reimburse him, not know ing that the government would final ly pay tbe freight. He said he sent She money to Ray in an anonymous letter thoughtlessly, not refecting shat it was irregular and if known might look ugly for both of them.
 Anderson has been for two years manager for the King River Mining Company, a corporation whose stock holders are chiefly Mississippi men whose knowledge of mining in Alaska or anywhere else ia as exhaustive as 8 rabbits information regarding the New York stock exchange, whence the company has come to be know where it operates as the Mississippi Bubble" Anderson spent a great deal of money for the company in the YenGna district. He claims to have expended this legitimately but tho stockholders saw fit to accuse him of smbezzlement and secured his in- dictment at the last term of the United States district court in Valdez, last August. The indictment was dis missed because the district attorney's effice thought the evidence insuffi- eient to secure conviction.
