RutiIe, Discovered In Australia, May
Solve Many Problems.

The discovery in Australia of min
eral, rutile, heretofore Of no CONNER
cIal value, promises to solve one Of the
problems developed in airship build
ing, says a Washington correspondent
Of the New York Herald 1t has been
found that axles and bearings In flying
machines when submitted to 1900 rev.
olutions to the minute wear and beat
SO rapidly as to make the substitution
Of some metal capable of withstanding
this strain necessary.

W. Cooling Of Newcastle, Australia, in
a report to the department Of COM
merce and labor, win ill this want. 1t

AUTHENTIC BIBLE coDEx.
Professor Saunders Holds Freer Manu-
script Equal to canonicaI Ones.

script Equai to Canonical Ones.
Professor II. A. Saunders of Mich
igan university told the Detroit Archae-
illogical society the other day that
the Freer Bible manuscript recently
brought from Egypt is nothing less
than a complete new codex covering
two-thirds of the Bible and as anthem
tic as any Of the three cOdices hereto
fore known-namely. the Vatican, the
Alexandrinian and the Sinaitic. He is
convinced of this because Of the char
acter Of the manuscripts. says a De-
troit correspondent of the New York
Sun. They are a Greek transcript Of
some older manuscript. in which re-
spect they are on par with the three
other recognized Goddess. The age of
the collection Professor Saunders places
at from 400 to 600 A. D.
The book does not contain the reve-
latiOns Of John. Dwelling on this fea-
ture, Professor Saunders made an In
teresting observation. The revela-
lions of st. Peter were found not
many years ago at the same place
where this Freer codex was unearthed.
The present codex, the professor ad-
vanced as a theory, was part of a BIZ
BILE Of six books which included the
revelations Of St. Peter instead OF
those of st. John and was used by a
Greek church In upper Egypt and
buried or lost at the time Of the Mos
lem invasion Of Egypt In $40.

TOO MUCH ALCOHOL
Spokane Society Woman Victim OF
Drink Habit.


SEATTLE, Wash, March 16.--
Alcoholism, together with hem
orrhage of the right lung. caused the
d ath Of Mrs. Harry Glidden. said
Coroner F. M. Carroll today after
making post mostem examination
of the body OF the society woman Of
Spokane and Seattle, found dead in
her apartments at the Otis, sO4 Sum-
NIT avenue. The method she used
in securing the great quantity Of al
cohol from the Kennedy Drug COM
pany is a matter that will be for the
police to investigate. The autopsy
held on the body of Mrs. GIidden at
the undertaking establishment of
Butterworth & Sons yesterday bore
out the statement of Deputy Coroner
s. F. Wiltsie that alcoholism was the
primary cause of the woman's death.
The post norton examination was
made by DR.. c. e. Hoye and viewed
by DR.. Carroll.
The hemorrhage and the alcohol
ic condition caused the DEATH" said
DR.. Hoye. THE woman had cirrho-
sis of the liver and kidneys. The
stomach was in terrible condition
from the use of alcohol. Violent
coughing or straining from nausea
might have brought on the hem
orrhage of the lungs"

GENERAL LEGITIME
PROVISIONAL RULER
Entrance Of Rebel Army Under Gen.
eral Simon is Expected at Any Mo-
ment-Foreisn Warships MarshaIed
to Protect Life and Property.
Hearst News Service.

Port Au Prince, Hayti, December 2.
The expected has happened. The
city of Port Au Prince, capital of the
Haytian republic, is in open revolt
against President Nord Alexis, and
the life of that individual now hangs
in the balance.
A provisional government has been
established under the leadership of
General Legitime and the government
troops have deserted the president to
fight for the protection and preserva-
ton of the city under the direction
of the first named.
President Nord Alexis has thus been
shorn of his power and bowling mobs
in the streets are calling for his
blood. Legitime is advising against
an attack on Alexis, but it is feared
that he will be unable to stem the
tide.
The entrance of the rebel army I'M
der the leaderahf of General Simon
is expected at any moment. 1t is
said that the insurgents are now with
in a few miles of the city and that
it is only matter of hours until the
climax comes.
Just how General Legitlme means
to combat the rebel attack is not
known. 1t is reasonably certain that
he will not surrender the city uncon-
ditionally, and it is possible that a
truce may be declared until compro-
mise measures may be effected.
Thus far there has been no fight
ing in the city.
Enough foreign warships are mar
shaled in the harbor to protect the
lives and property of the citizens
of other countries.

Superintendent Flanagan
Says Ne1O Passenger Depot
Will Soon Be Constructed

Asked as to the prospects for the
new passenger station, Supt. Flana-
gan stated that the first thing the COM
pany had to consider was the con-
struction of its main line by the site
of the proposed depot, so that the
material could be placed on the
ground. He was of the opinion that
the company would do something def
mite as soon as the new track could
be constructed, and the placing of ma
terial for the station would soon fol-
low.
While Supt. Flanagan made no
statement on the subject, there is a
strong belief that a new freight depot
will be built during the coming year
and that Hattiesburg will be made a
division point of the road.

BUSINESS REVERSES

Failed and Had Filed a Petition in
BsnkruPtcy-Friends Insist That
His Mind Was Deranged.
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss, December 2.-Mr. S.
K. Barton, prominent young business
man of this city, leaped three stories
to his death last night.
About $3.50 o'clock yesterday even
ing young Barton was In his room in
the upper story of the Martin-Gaddis
building on West Capitol street, when
all of a sudden he leaped from the
window, shot down through space for
sixty feet, struck on an iron picket
fence and fell TO the concrete walk in
the alley between the two buildings.
He was standing at the glass. comb
ing his hair, when. all of a sudden. he
dived through the window, which was
down.
Those who saw him fall hastened
to his assistance, finding him uncon-
scious and bleeding at several pores.
He was taken Immediately to the
sanitarium and physicians summoned,
but they decided at once that there
was no hope to save him.
Three or four physicians attended
to the wants of the sufferer, doing all
in their power to alleviate his pains,
knowing that there was no possible
chance to save his life, but about 8
O'Clock his spirit winged it's flight to
the great unknown.
There does not seem to be any
doubt that young Barton leaped from
the window with suicidal intent. He
had been very restless and morose all
day, and it is stated that he had made
an attempt on his life during the
morning, threatening to kill himself
with his pistol. but his brother dis
armed him.
1t may be that he was temporarily
deranged because of business reverses
The day before the Barton Coal Co.
had gone to the wall. S. X. Barton
was manager of the concern, and his
friends had been of the opinion that
he was doing good share of the coal
business of the community and pros
pering. The announcement of the fail
ure came like a clap of thunder from

a clear sky. 1t was just as great
a surprise to his friends to learn that
he had gone into bankruptcy as was
the announcement of his rash act.
Day before yesterday Mr.. Barton
filed a petition in bankruptcy with
Commissioner Moseley. giving his la
bilities at about $1,000. That was no
more than thousands of others are do
ing every year. and there have been
few If any suicides on this account
in this section of the country. But
young Barton took 1t hard. He
seemed to have an idea that there was
an element of disgrace attached to
failure, and he spent the day in brood
ing over his financial troubles.
8. X. Barton was a young man of
about 26 years of age. He was born
and raised in the Vicinity Of Donald
sonville, La, and came to this city
two or three years ago, engaging in
the coal business as the successor
to Power & Mcdonnell on West Capt..
tol street, where 1t was generally sup
posed he was prospering.
He has younger brother here with
whom he was associated in business
and was brother of Mrs. Charlie Cor.
don of this city, also Of Mrs. Wharton
Green, wife of son of Col. Geo. S
Green, now of New York.
1t is understood that the remains
will be shipped to the old home in
Louisiana for interment.
