DARING EXPLORER COPIES
FAMOUS HISTORIAN TABLET
Dane and Associates Threatened with
Torture and Death by Fanatics,
but Persist Until Work
Is Completed

NEW YORK, June Infringing a
copy of the famous HISTORIAN tablet,
uncovered In the seventeenth century
by the Christian monks in China, Fritz
Won Holm, a Danish explorer, arrived
here yesterday on the British steamer
Kenrebec from the far east.
Mr.. Won Holms feat in copying the
priceless HISTORIAN block in the Chi
nese temple at Sian Flu was a daring
one. For sixteen months he and his
associates worked to make copy of
the tablet.
On one occasion they we're threat
ened with death and torture and We're
chased away from their work by re-
ligious fanatics in the temple. But
Mr.. Won Holm and his artisans re-
sumed their work when the objectors
believed they mad given up their pro-
ject. The copy when completed was
Grated and moved to Kankow, where
it was held up until released by the
British ambassador. Then it was
shipped to Shanghai, where it was put
aboard the kennebec.
over 1000 figures of dragons, ancient
figures and mystic hieroglyphics are on
the copies On il are also cut the Nes-
torian odes and eulogy 10 the religion
and names of seventy-five priests of
Syria, who are believed to have been
connected in some way with the mis-
sionaries at the time the relic was
carved out of great stone of the
temple.
Mr.. Won Holm says the original tab
let was transferred to the forest of
tablets after its discovery by the Jesuit
missionaries in the seventeenth CEN
tury and that it testified to the Nes-
torian religion in China as far back
as 1868.

UNITED STATES WILL MAKE
PANAMA ELECTION HONEST

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Pana-
ma presidential campaign, which is to
eliminate in an election the first week
in July, has recently developed "revo-
lutionary tendencies to such an ex-
tent as to cause grave concern, and the
serious intention to employ severe
measures on the part of the American
government to insure a fair and honest
election, probably the first in the his
tory of Central American politics.
The 500 American marines stationed
on the isthmus will be detailed to the
election places. AS some precincts will
need no armed supervision, and others
will need several troops, they will be
distributed where they will do the most
good.
The call for personal report from
Minister Squiers is the result, 1t is ex-
planned, of new Developments At the
same time Mr.. Squiers may be asked to
