WIFE'S VANITY MAKES
HUSBAND A CRIMINAL

Another case wherein a young hus-
band turned burglar because of the
craving of his wife for flnery and
iewelry. developed in the police court
this morning, upon the trial of Albert
Rogers and his 17-year- spouse for
larceny. Rogers was taken into GUS
tody yesterday for a series of burglar
les, and this morning his wife, May
Rogers, child in age and stature, APP
peared to comfort him.
An inqusition by a deputy district
attorney resulted in the young wo-
man admitting she had urged her
husband to secure money and wear
ing apparel for her in any manner,
and that she was aware several
watches and coins which he brought
home had been stolen. Upon this
confession, Mrs. Rogers was charged
with being an accessory after the fact
and also taken before Police Judge
Bennett. Upon pleas of guilty, Rog-
ers was sentenced to six months in
the county Jail and the woman given
three months the felony charge
against the man being reduced to a
misdemeanor, all of the stolen prop
erty having been recovered. The spe-
cfic offense upon which the couple
were tried was the theft of a gold
watch and $1S in money from the
home of Mrs. L Barr, on the Seventh
street Terrace.-Portland Telegram.

COLUMBUS DID NOT
DISCOVER AMERICA

Boston.-Mrs, Marion McMurrough
Mulhau, widow of the late Professor
Michael C. Mulhan, whose fame as
an Irish statistican was worldwide,
has written a book which has already
started animated discussion in literary
and scientific circles on both hemis-
pheres.
The title of the work Is Explorers
in the New World Before and After
Columbus"
The purpose of Mrs. Mulhalrs most
exhaustive researches is to prove that
Columbus had predecessors in the new
world. The author contends that an
Icelander named Ari Marson, who was
the great grandson of Kiarrial co.
CarrolD king of Dublin, sailed to this
western continent in the year 9S3.
fully 500 years before Columbus made
his voyage, and that his ship was
wrecked on that part of the coast
which is now the state of Florida.
Irishmen in Iceland.
In addition to this contention, Mrs.
Mulhall holds that there is documen-
tary proof that Iceland was visited
by Christian missionaries from Ireland
as early as 795, and that it was from
Irish traditions of the discovery OF
America then called Ireland-a-Mikla
of Great Ireland, that Eric the Red,
and later his son Lief, were inspired
to explore the western seas, resulting
in Llefs discovery of Vinland (the
present New England) about the year
1000, as alluded to by Irving in his
'Iife of Columbus" and other his
torians.
NJ. Rain, in his "Antiquities-Amer-
icanae," says that the people speaking
the Irish language were found In
Florida in the eighth century. Won
Tschudi. the distinguished writer on
1Peruvian Antiquities" says that the
country along the Atlantic coast from
Chesepeak bay to Florida was peopled
by Irishmen centuries before Colum-
bus.
Taking the evidence altogether, It
would seem that the Irish had more
on Columbus than Verrazzano has on
Henry Hudson.

RELATIVES WILL DESTROY
AGNOSTIC TOAIBSTONES

Kenosha, wis.-Louis Knapp, a
late pioneer resident Of Kenosha,
who erected a series Of inscribed
monuments in the Kenosha city cem-
etery to hand down his own derislon
of the Christian church, will fail Of
his purpose, as it is announced today
that eight monuments which have
stood in the cemetery for more than
30 years, will be taken down and de-
stroyed, and the razing of them will
be done in such a manner that not
one Of the 10000 words OF inscrip-
tions on the metallic columns will re-
main.
For years Knapp worked on the
composing Of the agnostic inscrip-
tons on the monuments. and when
they were completed they made up
one Of the most remarkable arraign-
ments Of the Christian religion known
TO history. Men have come thousands
of miles to read and copy the strange
inscriptions, and 1t is declared that
when they were sent to a foundry to
be cast upon monuments Of a mental
which would Withstand fire as well
as the natural effects Of the elements,
the men went on a strike, because
they feared that the handling Of such
matter would call down the wrath OF
God upon them. The surviving rela-

is about to become a reality. Acting
Secretary Winthrop issued an order
yesterday having this object in view.
It's purpose is to reduce the work on
board ship on sabbaths to a minimum
consistent with the requirements of
the service, to the end that the day
may be generally observed as a day
Of rest. Hereafter the commanding
officers inspection of ship and crew
is not to be held on Sunday. Ship
inspection is to be held on any other
day most expedient, while the inspec-
ton of the crew will take place on
Saturday before noon, or as soon af-
ter the dinner hour as possible.
