but was guarded SO close that he had but
three chances, two of which he made.
Moore made four goals out of seven
chances. Lear and Stiles made one goal
each from fouls. Rupp, of A. G. IA. s.
fame, seemed to have his eye right on
the basket, as he shot goals from almost
any part of the cage. Roberts and Ken

second did some excellent shooting for
the visitors. Walton and Knauer show

English Expedition In Turkey Has
Found No Trace Thus Far
LONDON Special to New York Times.
King Solomon's Temple. the Ark of
the Covenant. Aaron's rod. and the
seven-branched golden candlestick
which stood in the Holy of HOLES
these are just a few of the trea-
sures for which a party Of young
Englishrnen are now excayating In
Palestine in the neigfborhood of Jer-
usalem. Tho majority OF experts are
OF the opinion that these treasures
are not to be found where they are
now being looked for. but the mem-
bers of the expedition have other in
formation upon which they place re-
lance.
This is cryptogram which is said
to have been found in the Talmud by
q Finnish engineer. and which is
thought to give a clue to the place
where the treasures of King Solomon's
Temple are hidden. Exactly what this
cryptogram Is has naturally been kept
secret by the Finnish engineer, but he
has convinced his supporters in tho
enterprise OF its reliability, and al
ready a good deal OF work has been
done toward practical demonstra-
ton of Its accuracy or inaccuracy.
Perhaps even more interesting than
this search for King Solomon's trea-
sures is the composition OF the party
engaged in IL. At the head OF the
syndicate is Clarence Wilson, brother
in-law of Lady Sarah Wilson. and a
very wealthy man. Then there Is
Robert Vivian Dun, commonly known
as Robin. a Lieutenant in the Grena-
der Guards and husband of Lady
Juliet Duff. perhaps the taliest as she
is certainly one of the most beautiful
women In London society. With these
is associated the Hon. Cyril Ward. a
brother of the Earl OF Dudley and OF
the Hon. John Ward. who married
Miss Jean Reid. daughter OF the
American Ambassador here. Cyril
Ward. like Wilson and Duff is man
of means, having married the Baroness
de Bremen. a great Dutch heiress.
other members Of the syndicate are
Grenadier Guards, brother OF the
Earl of Morley; and two other guards
men the Hon. Mr. Walsh and MT.
Foley. . ..-....
Three months ago. the necessary
permits having been obtained from. the
Turkish Government, the party sailed
for Palestine In a yacht specially pur-
chased for the purpose by Mr.. Wilson
and work was shortly afterward
started in the neighborhood of the
Pool of Sloan. Sixty men were en-
gagged as laborers. and the excava-
lions went merrily on. They are still
going on, but. perhaps less merrily
for up 10 the present nothing has been
discovered to reward their labors.
one by one the heads Of the expedi-
ton are returning to England, ana
Clarence Wilson got back home this
week, some OF the others having pre-
eeded him. Capt. Parker, MI. walsh,
and Mr. Foley still remain in Pales-
tine, and 1t is supposed that the party
have not yet given up hope OF dis
covering the treasures they set out TO
seek.

OLD SLAVE" LAW rs
NOW OF NO EFFECT

Atlanta. Ca, Dec. 22.-The old
slave" law, which prohibited a slave
from striking or attacking his master
or the latter's foreman to defend him
self from a whipping is Of no effect In
Georgia today, according to a decision
handed down here today by the State
Supreme Court in the case OF a con-
Wet who killed q fellow prisoner.
Cleveland Westbrook, q negro, under
sentence of death for killing another
negro who was the warden OF the con-
Wet camp of which both negroes were
inmates. administering q whipping to
Westbrook, is granted a new trial.
The Supreme Court holds that cor
poraI punishment OF a convict under
circumstances not of a character suf-
ficient to authorize 1t. Is an assault
which implies the right of defense. II
the jury decides that the whipping of
NWestbrook in this instance was unlaw-
full. the negro cannot be convicted of
a greater crime than voluntary man
slaughter.

Substitutes for Lumber.

Brooklyn Eagle.
The possible failure of lumber coal
and iron supplies has engaged the
attention of the apprehensive econo-
mists for some years. Fear of the
failure of lumber first took its place.
Under the speculations the price Of
lumber advanced as such rate that
builders found that brick and stone in
MANY localities were quite as cheap
II not cheaper.
In the meantime the economists
were deploring the rapid denudation
OF the forest hills. bringing about
climatic changes and inducing foods.
All of this turned the attention of
inventive and enterprising minds to
the production of substitutes for
lumber. Concrete and steel came In
to increased use. The two materials
estimated in the completion of a
structure were found to be cheaper.
There was wider spread of their use.
Now comes a wall from the lumber
men, They assert that the success
following the effort to find the sub
stftutes for lumber has so reduced
demand that it IS sensibly felt by
them. The production OF lumber has
been greater than the demand for
1t. They say that concrete and steel
are coming into wider use for house.
building; that freight. coal and pas
senger cars are being built wholly of
steel; bridges, stations and station
platforms are made of concrete; street
cars, with concrete floors. are now
built of steel. and box manufacturers
are using wood pulp instead OF
lumber.
Things seem TO right themselves.
A lumber famine has been avoided by
findinE new building material. In the
excess of production over demand the
price OF lumber will DO permitted to
grow to the proper maturity and the
devastating Goods OF the springtime
will be modified.
