HOLY SEPULCHER
NOT TO BE MOVED
Mgr. FaICOniO Denies RumOr
That Pope Wants it
in Rome

WASHINGTON. Sept 1O-The report
that His Holiness Pope Plus Y has
taken steps to have the holy sepulcher,
now IN Jerusalem. transported to Italy
is false Denial was made by Mgr
Diomede Falconio. Papal Delegate to
the United States. who has Just re-
turned 20 this city after a visit to
Rome. He further asserted that the
Pope would be the last person to con-
sent 10 the change. His Holiness. on
more than one occasion. has placed
himself on record to the effect that
the holy sepulcher is essentially a
relic that belongs TO the history and
the tradition OF Jerusalem, and that
moving IL, even to Rome. the center
Of Christianity. would be an offense of
the gravest character
The rumor, which arose some weeks
ago. after the visit OF Ghalib Pasha
announcing 10 Pope Plus the ascension
OF the new sultan OF Turkey. is not
new. as IL has been reported at least
a dozen times. the first time over 10
centuries ago.. Mgr Falconio was
emphatic in stating that the Pope
would use all his influence against
whatever efforts would be made to
have the sepulcher removed.
He particularly branded as laughable
the report that the Pope would re-
quest the good offices Of the German
Government to assure compliance
with the alleged request. made TO the
Turkish Government through the
special embassy sent to Rome re-

BIGGS WIS
REMINISCENT

The West Chester Local News says:
A small. well-dressed man. sitting in
9 boot-black's stand yesterday. looked
up at the new trust company's build
ing and remarked: "This is surely a
fine town; / always liked It and it
has improved greatly since I went to
the Normal here away back in 1878. +"
The speaker was Willard Salisbury
Biggs. Of Middletown. Delaware, son
Of a former popular Governor Of Del
aware. He is here with several trot-
ting and pacing horses to attend the
Chester County Fair and yesterday
one OF them won first money In the
pacing race.
Mr.. Bggs was quite communicative.
He said there is nothing in peach cul-
ture any longer. so he went into horse
breeding. II is a good business If
one understands that he doesn't know
1t all. Nearly every horseman over
rates his trotters and gets left. 1t
takes horse sense, patience and hard
work. The first race ever drove
in West Chester was on the figure
eight track, at the old Fair Grounds
II was a dandy ] forget the old Of
ficials' names but they used me well.'
Continuing on horses he said: "a
lSite-shaped track isn't a good sort e
train horses on. They go too fast and
the owners overrate their trotters.
always try to discount what my horses
can do by themselves"
Mr.. Briggs then grew reminiscent oi
his school days when a boy. spent al
the Normal School in 1883. Prof
George J.. Maris was the principal, and
DR. G. NJ Philips. an assistant Mr.
Biggs asked for several old students
and was panied to hear that several
were dead. He spoke Of being trap
ped one day by Prof Philips. on whom
he had cmptied a bucket Of water from

was young. and discipline was more

INSPECTORS SAY THEY
DIDN'T EXONERATE LONG

The Philadelphia steamboat inspec-
tors brand as untrue the statement
made by the Commissioners on Navi-
cation to the effect that the former
were willing to withdraw their charges
Of incompetoncy lodged against II. c.
Long, pilot of the Norwegian steamer
Juan. following an investigation into
the collision Of that vessel with the
Reading tugboat swatara, on June 30,
in the Delaware river.
In the first place. the inspectors say.
no charges were ever made by them
against Long, as he was acting under
a Pennsylvania license, and therefore
did not come under their jurisdiction.
They did. however. in a report OF the
investigation submitted to the COM
missioners. call the attention Of the
board TO the fact that Longs knowledge
of the inland pilot rules was extremely
limited, and his ignorance of these they
declared, was responsible for the acci-
dent.
That their finding was correct in this
case, they say, was borne out by the
fact that. following the collision OF the
two vessels. Long was fined a penalty
Of $50 by the District Attorney Of Della
ware for violating the inland pilot
rules
The statement referred to above is
said to have been made by the COM
missioners in announcing that they
would hold a hearing today for the
purpose of investigating the charges
made against Long by the steamboat
inspectors. Captains Sargent and
Howard This was done. It was said
as the result OF a letter received bs
them from Long which declared that
he had been uniustly dealt with by th'
inspectors in placing the blame for tho
