ARISING FROM ITS ASHES
Knowles Hall at Rollins College will
be Bigger and Finer Building
Than Ever Before

Winter Park. Dec. 1S.-Words Of
sympathy and hope are coming in
from the many friends of Rollins who
have heard of the destruction Of
Knowles Hall and from many of these
pledges Of aid in the erection of the
new building which will take its place.
Among those may be mentioned the
gifts OF w. e. Comstock Of Chicago
and F. w. Wyman of Minneapolis. the
former of S2.5OO. the latter Of $1,000.
These are only few among the many
offers. large and small from those
loyal friends whose hearts and hands
are given To the task Of building up
Rollins college To the needs Of her
work
The new building will be the finest
on the campus. erected of brick or
concrete. with concrete floors and wire
lath. so as To be absolutely fire proof.
as will all buildings subsequently
erected. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has
already offered $4,000 toward this
purpose. and the probabilities are that
the total cost of the building and
equipment will be over $4,000. 1t will
contain a complete set Of scientific
laboratories and lecture rooms. class
rooms for other branches of study. and
large chapel room provided with a
fine organ. When this beautiful
structure stands as reality on Rol-
Inns fire campus. the burning OF
Knowles Hall will appear 10 be bles-
sing instead of a disaster.

MIA Of Ocey Snead is apparently the
defense relied upon by the three
Wardlaw sisters arrested in connec-

the fact that prison bars hold all the

she either slowly grieved herself to
death over the disappearance of her
husband. Fletcher Snead. or was sys-

near actual solution than when the
first discoveries were made.
Mrs. Martin, mother OF the young
woman. insists the suicide notes We're
written by Ocey while grieving over
the disappearance of Fletcher Snead,
and that the thought of suicide became
a mania with the girl. Mrs. Mary
Snead maintained reticent attitude
in her cell at the Tombs prison.
Fletcher Snead. who has been located
at St. Catherine. Ontario, expressed
the opinion that his wife committed
suicide. He says he kiows little con-

.wATERwoRKs FOR JERUSALEM
A British Company Laying Pipes from
the Pool Of Sloan

London. Dec. 17.-Under the super
vision Of two Turkish congressman. an
English syndicate is eXcavating at the
Pool Of Sloan, near Jerusalem. IL
consists of Capt Montagu 3. Parker.
Grenadier Guards. brother and heir
presumptive Of Lord Morley; Mr.. Clar-
Luke Of Fife: Mr. Cyril Ward. Messrs.
Walsh. Foley and others.
Some mystery attends the aid Of the
excavation. The popular belief is that
they are searching for the crowns and
treasures OF David and Solomon and
other kings Of Judah. which some think
are buried in this region. But others
believe that their main object is to pro-
vide Jerusalem with the drinking water
it sorely needs. Of which there will be
plenty and 10 spare should they tap the
source Of the spring.
The scene Of the excavation Is the
spring known as ST. Mary's well from
a legend Of the fourteenth century that
the Virgin once washed the swaddling
clothes of her son there. II is probably
identical with the Pool Gion. where
David told Zadok. the priest. 10 anoint
solomon Numerous attempts were
made To render its water available for
the use Of the inhabitants. Probably
one Of the earliest is the channel con-
Meeting it with the pool Of Sloan al
the mouth Of which was found one OF
the earliest Hebrew inscriptions We
possess. now at ConstantinOpie which
tells how the work OF excavation
was begun at both ends and how. by
/ miscalcUlation. the two parties missed
the true point Of juncture.
The syndicate is working on its own
account and is not connected with eth
n the Palestine or German Arch
aelogical Institutes in this city.
Large sums Of money have already
+ been expended in obtaining a permit in
purchasing land and in carrying or
the work over so men are daily en-
ployed and more than $500 is spent
weekly in salaries and wages.

II is now said that he proposes to
take a leading position in the field OF
European finance. As an evidence OF
this. it is said in financial circles that
Mr.. Morgan is TO become the financial
agent of the Vatican
a similar rumOr was current some
time ago. but at that time. so the story
goes, Thomas Ryan. who is highly re-
garded at the Vatican. opposed the
appointment and the negotiations
failed. Now the Ryan opposition is
withdrawn and it is believed in this

which connects the name of Morgan
with other financial projects which
will further strengthen his position as
