THINKS BUST IS GENUINE.
Director of Museum Defends Recent Purchase.

Purchase.
 Berlin, Nov. li--Dr. Bode. director of the Emperor Frederick Museum de- fends in a forthcoming article in Die Woche, the wax bust recently purchase ed as the work of Leonardo Da Vinci.
 The director says that the face wears the characteristic smile of the feminine figures known to be the work of pa vinci. Dr. Bode points out many technical details which he says go to
 prove that the bust cannot be the work of the English sculptor Lucas or that
 of a pupil of Da Vinci.
 pr. Bode relies chiefly on the set- ting of the shoulders and the battered
 condition of the bust. which. contrary
 to the English critics are not due to
 exposure to the elements. but to rough
 handling and clumsy attempts at restoration He says that in various places the bust shows the patchwork of Lucas, but wherever the work has not been touched there, appears the exact dull brown tone which is an un- disputed characteristic of Renaissance wax figures. and furthermore the coloring corresponds exactly with Leonardo da vinci's wax bust of a girl In the museum at Lille.
 pr. Bode concludes his argument
 with the statement that the bust of a woman which is exhibited in the Bar
 geiio at Florence. Italy and which is
 now properly considered a work of Ds
 VincFs youth, appears to have been forerunner of the present work. In the bust purchased for the Em- peror Frederick Museum Da Vincl achieved his masterpiece, a work
 worthy of place by the Venus oi
 Milo. so pr. Bode says.
 Emperor William yesterday ex- amined the bust in question and il is understood that his majesty ex- pressed himself as satisfied that the but is of the fifteenth century work
 manshlp as claimed.

laundry should have been eliminated some time ago as charge against the Home.
 An investigation of the matter by the committee during the past year shows that the laundry building was erected and equipped and an amount exceeding o1.000 was spent thereon. At meeting held on June 3, the su- perintendent was instructed to make an entry to this end. The amount due to the endowment fund may still be considered as charge against the support fund of the Home.
 The report further showed that for the current year there is a balance due on open account. principally to msrchants in TaiIadeea of s54427: and in addition to this there Is a note for S700 which was made to take care of urgent needs of the Home during the past summer. These two items rep- resent the current indebtedness of the Home. There are no obligations of any sort for which the Home Is liable.
 During the past year the Home re- ceived substantial gift from an un- known person in the amount of $s25. The amount was contributed without any direction as to the purpose for which 1t was to be used, but disposi- mittee.
 In concluding the report the commit- tee made the following recommends tfons:
 First-That the action of the Execu- tive Committee in the election of George DungIinson as superintendent for Q term extending to the first day of November. 1912. be ratified.
 Second-That the forSer action of the Synod in calling upon the Sunday Schools of the State to give-to the Or phans' Home the collection on the third Sunday in each month, be reiterated and urged upon the attention of the churches.
 Third-That at this meeting of the synod definite and sufficient amount be pledged by each of the churches for the support of the Home during the succeeding year.
 Fourth--That the Synod urge upon all of the churches that needy and de- serving cases, admissible under the rules. be reported to the management of the Home.
 The financial statement of the Home showed that during the past year there had been contributed by the North Alabama Presbytery. $3.224.s2; by the East Alabama Presbytery. yi.262.54; by the Mobile Presbytery, s52s40: by the Tuscaloosa Presbytery. $1,8027s.
 The report further showed that there were sixty-eieht inmates in the Or phans' Home. Of these forty are girls and twenty-eight are boys. During the year eleven orphans were received at the Home and seventeen were dis- missed.

Biiiingsley. Nov. 1i.-(Special. )- An audience of 154. two-thirds of whom, were men and mostly voters. greeted Hon. Oscar 8. Lewis of Tuskegee, here last night.
 One of the features of the speaking was the act of many who wore white ribbons in tearing them from the 1apels of their coats as soon as the speaker finished with his magnificent address They seemed to be convinced that the arguments of the defenders against changing the Constitution were sound.
 The audience was very quiet and att tentive except at intervals when the speaker scored the amenders heavily Then there were outbursts of applause. The amendment looks like 1t is badly beaten in this section.

 determlnation to retire by a special subscription the s5.0Oo note which has long been standing against the Home. Beginning with the month of April and at different times during the sew eral months following special efforts were made by the members of the committee to raise in cash subscrip- tions the sum of s5.00o. Arrangements were made by the chairman of the committee to have the principal cities of the State visited by two members of the committee going together and working with two local members in soliciting this fund. In this way their efforts were successful and the amount to pay the principal of the note was subscribed and there has been received by the committee in cash on these subscriptions $4.3S7.50; the face of the note with accrued in- terest to date Is s5.S70.4o; there still remains an unpaid balance of $s3i.10.
 In taking these subscriptions 1t was the original intention to secure 100 cash subscriptions of $50 each. It was found that some were willing to give this amount but were not in a position to pay the cash and the nem- bers of the committee in taking the subscriptions in some cases secured subscriptions payable partly in cash and partly at later date. For that reason the subscription list has not been paid In full.
 For several years the fixed indebt- edness of the Home has been carried in the annual report as &7.000. con- sistinG of the S5,OOO note to the Tall ladega National Bank. s1,000 due as an endowment fund and S1,000 to a fund provided for the erection of a laundry.

FLAG RAISING ID BE CELEBRATED IN
 ARIZONA
SOCIETY OF PIONEERS TO PRE- SERVE ARCHAEOLOGICAL HIS
 TORY or TERRITORY

TUCSON, January l4--The place where the first American flag was raised in Arizona is to be marked with tablet in commemoration of the event by the Pioneers Historical Society. The first American flag was raised by the Mormon battalion under Philip St. George Cook. while on their way through Arizona to California. Decem- Der r., ls46, on what is now the resi- denee lot of l.. c. Hughes, but then the site of the old fort, and connected to the drill grounds, which were where the city plaza now is.
 At that time this country was owned by Mexico, and when the Mexican troops learned of the American soldiers, they retreated to San Xavier. Upon their departure for California, the Americans took the wheat, of which the Mexicans had considerable in store here and left due bill in payment of the same. which the Mexicans refused to accept and forwarded it on to them at Sacaton, the first point where the old road struck the Gila river.
 Upon the return of the Mexican troops after the departure of the Amer jeans, the commander sent word 10 their authorities in Mexico to the effect that they had gained victory over the Americans and driven them off the field. The Americans, by the way, had no intention of stopping here, but were headed for California, to which point they proceeded without delay.
 The occasion of the first flag raising was the arrival of the American troops under command of then Major R. S. Ewell, afterwards Gen. Ewell of the Confederate forces. after the Mexican soldiers had left in fright. and the two standard bearers were William H. Kirk land and Green Rusk. MT. Kirkland is still alive, but Mir. Rusk was buried on the 22d of last month by the Pic; neers.
 Not only do the Pioneers intend to erect a tablet in eommemoration of the first flag raising in Arizona, but they have another idea on foot. The first printing press that came to Arizona is at present in Tombstone and the soci- ety is now endeavoring to obtain pos session of the press and have it brought here to be held among the archives of the society.
