Washington, Jan. 1.-THE amount Of

imprisonment to be melted out to Of
ficers and directors of corporations for
violating the law with respect to money
contributions for political purposes fur
nished material for lengthy debate liz
the House of Representatives. today in
connection with the consideration of
the penal code bill. All amendments
to increase the penalty or enlarge the
scope of the laws. however, were voted
down These amendments, without ex-
ception, emanated from the Democratic
side but the one that brought forth
the most discussion was by hir. Cock
ran of New York. who wanted the
fine fixed at $4,000, instead Of not more
than $1,000 and the Imprisonment at 10
years, instead of not more than one
year.
Mr.. Payne of New York. the Repub-
lican floor leader, charged that the
Democrats and not the Republicans
were delaying the passage OF The bill
by indulging in political buncombe. His
colleague, Mr.. Fitzgerald, refuted the
charge and said that the Democrats
were set king to improve OH the bill.
Earlier in the day there was I. sharp
debate over the section prohibiting the
entIcing of artificcrS and workmen
from government arSanalS or armories
by private employers. and all attempts
to amend the provision so al 10 make
applicable onlT in time OF war or public
emergency wero voted down.
When adjournment was taken at 5
O'Clock, Sc sections Of the 3i2 had been
disposed of.
Washington, Jan. H.--As soon as tho
House today resumed consideration of
the bill to coIify the penal laws, amend
ments began to be offered. Mr. Wilson
Of Pennsylvania moved to strike out the
whole OF Section 45, which prohibited any
one from inducing an artificer or work
man employed at any arsenal or armory
to leave the service of the government
and enter private employ.
The amendment started a storm OF dis
cussion as to the necessity for such leg
islation in a time of peace.
Mr.. Williams referred to the Webb
amendment voted down yesterday which
sought to limit the application of the law
to times of war.
Mr.. Hull of Iowa, chairman of the COM
mittee on military affairs. declared that
in time Of peace the government was
preparing for war. The amendment, he
said, sought to destroy the ability of the
government TO care for it's defence.
The amendment was lost &c to l04.

Art Collector owns Volumes That Are
Very Valuable.


Detroit. Mich, December 3O.-Charles
L. Freer of Detroit, art collector, student
and traveller, has in his possession un-
opened volumes which will constitute a
great addition to biblical literature. The
volumes buried securely for centuries are
being translated as rapidly as possible by
Professor Sanders.
The story of their discovery is still I'M
known to the world and will be made pub
lie only when the results of Professor
Sanders research are published, which
may be two or three years hence. The
fragile leaves were once bound in book
form. Opening them and joining the
broken fragments is delicate task. All
of his spare time for nearly year has
been spent by Professor Sanders at Mr..
Freer's home, putting together the bits
of vellum and reading the inscriptions,
dmmed by being in Egypt for 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, Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John.
Mr. Freer'S manuscripts are the first
bearing so directly on the history of
Christs life to be brought to this coun-
try. They antedated by several centuries
many of the writings used up in the pres
ent scriptures. Professor Sanders reve-
lation of the newly discovered quotation
from Jesus is the first published intima-
ton of the finding of the manuscripts.
Speaking of these discoveries Mr.. Freer
said:
1.-The fragments of hundreds of pages
of manuscripts written in Greek on vel
lum are locked in my vault. Their sig
nificance and possibilities limitless.
Their effect Christian religion cannot
be estimated"

BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Fragment of Bible Long Lost Is
Now Being Translated
NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED
Professor Sanders of the University Of
Michigan Tells of His Wonderful
Discovery in Egypt of the
Writings of Christ.

Chicago, December S1.-The Daily News
yesterday said:
new saying of Christ, lost to the
world for 10 centuries and found in Egypt,
was given to the world for the first time
today by Prof. Henry A. Sanders OF the
University of Michigan addressing the
members of the Archaeological institute
now in session at the University of Chi
eago. The fragment is part of an old
Bible dating back to the Moslem con-
quest of Egypt and on its face is SO au-
thentic as to disarm hostile criticism.
The long lost fragment belongs to the
sixteenth chapter of the gospel OF st.
Mark and follows the fourteenth verse. 1t
relates to the story of Christ's appearance
following his death to Il of his apostles
in Jerusalem.
With the new verse the Bible reads
thus
Mark 16:14-And they answered, say
ing 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 eem-
prehend the truth of God and his power.
For this reason, Reveal Thy righteous
ness now,' they said to Christ, and Christ
said to them: The limit of the years
of the power of satan has been fulfilled,
but other terrible things are at hand,
and l was delivered unto death on be-
half of these who sinned in order that
they may return to the truth and sin no
more to the end that they may inherit
the spiritual indestructible glory of
righteousness which is in heaven.
In discussing the new verse Professor
Sanders said:
This newly discovered paragraph was
known to st. Jerome and the first few
lines of it are connected in Latin trans
lations. 1t has long been claimed that
Mark 16, 500 was an addition to the
gospel borrowed from some other un-
known gospel near the end of the second
century. This new manuscript probably
puts the original form of that part Of
the lost gospel which, mutilated, was ad-
ded to Mark The reason for the omission
is quite apparent, as the new verse con-
tains 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 90 not
have it and it is avoided by the later
church writer's

LETTERS TO THE -DITOR.
Ravens Registers His "Knock.v


To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Ned Brace said in Sunday paper that
all knockers ought to make their knocks
before January l. The idea is a good one.
I want to get in my knock for 1907 and
for 1908. l want to see the city l made
my home in 1907 and hope to make it so
all the years left to me take up and go
on, realizing what she ought to be-the
greatest city in the south. Looking over
the south-Atlanta, Montgomery, Savan-
nah, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans,
and Chattanooga made up my mind
that Birmingham was to be the future
great city of the south. Why? Because
it is in a district of iron, coal, stone and
clay. The pulse of the world today is
steel. 1t will be so until science discov-
ers that which supplants it. But start
ed to get in my knock" 1t will not be
long one, yet it may be dangerous
one, as it is against the southern press,
The Age-Herald being a fair exhibit
along with the News and Ledger in Br-
mingham, of my desire to knock" Other
southern papers are as bad. I do not
seek to get The --ge-Herald and all its
kind upon my neck. New York is the
street, the New York exchange. is the
central point. rom Wall street through
Wall street, every great property-coal
iron, railroads, steam and electric indus
trial corporations, here in the south are
have been, or will be financed by and
through Wall street, so-called. The six
teen-story buildings of the south outside
of Coca Cola, at Atlanta, are largely
financed through the same source. The
Tennessee Coal and Iron company would
doubtless have gone into a receivers
hands had it not been for Wall street
Assuming these facts to be true, as be-
lieve they are, why is it that The Age
Herald and the southern press generally
berate, denounce, and abuse Wall street
the hand that helps? My knock is only
this question:
Is it wise? Is it just? Is it fair? Is it
proper and honest to abuse Wall street
as the southern press does? l think not.

We do not heed our work to-day.
We're thinking of the morrow.
We sit in iistless attitudes.
To hide our grief were scorning;
Come veal, come woe. what do we care
For Mary's given warning
But yesterday we played and sang.
The whole house rang with laughter.
We did not note the gathering gloom
That's clouded our hereafter
We needed not. poor blinded fools.

But now the blow has fallen, we

Her sullen looks. those iil-washed plates,

How could We be surprised to hear
That Mary's given warning?

Will shake in agitation:

The vacant situation.
And so we sit in attitudes,
All occupations scorning.
