well tamper with one or two items
without tearing the entire bill TO pieces,
and as he had learned that the bill
was to be attacked in the courts he
had decided not to interfere.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 26.-All this
mystery about Mrs. Lot turning into
salt isn't any mystery at all.
It's as plain as daylight-so plain
that a twelve year old girl discovered
the flaw that sacred historians have
been making for a number of thousand
years.
Professor Paul Hanpt of John Hop
kins university enlightened the world
on the common error in respect to the
Lots in an address before the Ameri-
can Philosophical society.
There is no mystery about the story
of Lots wife turning into a pillar of
salt" he said. "Many explorers have
seen pillars of salt near the Red sea.
They are natural formations. and UNI
doubtedly the basis for the fable. NV
little girl, who is twelve years old,
threw a new light upon the story as
told in the bible. She asked me how
it was that Lot could look back and
Nsee what had happened to his wife and
not himself be turned into salt"
The Israelites never saw Egypt.
Professor Haupt declared, and he pro-
ceeded to demolish many of the histori-
cal traditions of the Hebrew race. 1t
was the EdOmites who were i'm Egypt,
he said, and they were the descend
ants of Esau, son of Abraham by his
bond woman, and progenitors of Israel
ties.
The famous burning bush was easy
of explanation, he declared. Upon the
heights of. o volcano, around the crater,
grows %shrubbery. When a volcano is
active q cloud of steam hovers over it,
which is given by night a red east re-
flected from the volcanic fire. This

MOTHER WINS SUIT /.
AGAINST DAUGHTER
Mrs. Catherine Hinkel Regains
Fabyan Place Property, Unwit-
tingly Assigned to Lawyer.

Litigation brought in the chancery
chambers by Mrs. Catherine HinlSel,
of Luzerne county, Pa, against
her daughter Mrs. Gretta Shep-
herd. of Lille street. this city, for
the conveyance by the daughter to her
mother of property at 1870 Fabyan
place, was finally brought to close to-
day before Vice-Chancellor Stevens,
when he decided in favor of the mother.
Certain payments which the daughter
proved she had made for the past two
years on building and loan shares due
on the house were awarded to her,
amounting all together to about $500.
Mrs. Hinkel was represented by w j.
Kearns and Mrs. Shepherd by Osborne
e. Ashley
The court based his decision on the
fact that in deed whereby Mrs. Shep-
herd conveyed to her mother the prop
erty some six years ago, there was
no declaration that it was to be held
in trust by the mother; and further,
that there was a question that the
mother had misunderstood another con-
tract to which she put her signature
whereby the property was conveyed in
trust to lawyer.
The decree states that Mrs Shepherd
shall sign over to her mother all claims
to the property she may have, and
further. that payments proved to have
been made by Mrs Shepherd on the
house since June. 1907, should be al
lowed her
