DecreDif Residents of Bethesdn Home
 Attack Former Manager.
 Chicago, May 5.-Eighteen decrepit residents of Bethesda Home for the aged. their aggregate age 1.S4O years. and the average age 7l, driven by fear that they would be forced from their home. attacked Frank F. Henning, former manager of the bankrupt in- stitution. and after beating him. threw him bodily from the building last evening. threatening vengeance If he ever returned.
 The eighteen residents, the majority of whom are women, said Henning agreed to furnish them 8 home for life for a consideration of $550. In many cases this $55O represented the entire savings of the man or woman who was admitted. The home was forced into bankruptcy several months ago, and since that time has been supported en- tirely by public subscription. Hem ming was forced from the management of the institution when one of the in mates committed suicide and others threatened to do so.

 London, May 1.-The excavating which have recently been carried on by Dr. Otto Rubensohn among the riuns of some private buildings on the Island of Elephantine, near Assouan, have resulted in the discovery of some very interesting manuscripts on papy- rus.
 N In the course of the excavations Dr. Rubensohn was fortunate enough to discover two rooms. which had evident ly served as store chambers. and in one of these the excavators brought to light some Hebrew papyri which < will no doubt prove of the greatest interest to biblical scholars.
 One of these ancient documents has aust been published by Professor Sachau of Berlin. and proves to be the official account of an attempt made by some of the Egyptian priests to put a stop to Jewish religious worship in Elephantine by destroying the temple which the Jews had erected on the is- land.
 The papyrus, which is written in the Aramaic dialect, is in the form of a petition addressed to Zazohi. the gover- nor of Judea. praying that he will give permission to the Jews to rebuild one of the temples which the Egyptian priests had already succeeded in de- stroying.
 The date of the papyrus is placed by Professor Sachau between the age of Nehemia and the appearance of Alex ander the Great, roughly, therefore. be- tween the fourth and fifth centuries, ssH q

 Birmingham, May, 5.-(Special.( (-ln- dications today were given out that the Birmingham baseball club was badly demoralized and there was no telling what was likely to happen be- fore the cloud cleared away.
 It was stated during the day that John Henry Meek, the hefty first base man had asked for his release. Meek has not hitting well; this season and Manager, Vaughn has had him on the bench. The fans have been loud in their criticism of his playing too, and the association and management has been talking to him.
 This was followed by the announce ment that Eugene DeMontreville. the sprightly sho ort stop has been let out There was financial disagreement be- tween DeMontreyillei and the associa- .tion, $50 being the amount, so 1t Is stated.
 There was some talk. however, that the differences between the association and these two men might be settled. though later in the day. 1t was under stood that other trouble was brewing among the men. The team was likely to be disrupted if all the talk heard was true.
