WO0DILL MURDER
 A GREAT PUzzE
Four Members of tic COrOner's Jury Refused to Sign the Verdict-TO. mat0 Vine on Eastman's Grave.

tHearst News Special 10 the Graphic.>
 St. Michaels, Md, June 2S.-Tn6 coroner's jury Investigating the mur. der of Mrs. Edith May Woodill found that Robert Eastman either killed or was an accessory to her murder. Four members of the jury refused to sign the verdict. Mrs. Eastman, dry eyed, visited the grave of her husband, up- on which some one had planted 9 tomato vine. Scraps of letter. in Mrs Woodill's handwriting were found between the flooring in the bungalow where the murder was committed. It evidently referred to a visit of some one to some place to be "chaperoned or not, as she saw fit The final theory of the author itles is that Eastman knew certain things about Mrs. Woodill and had been blackmailing her, and which she resented. The letter threatened to expose Eastman that might have re- suited and which caused her death.

BUCHANAN IN
 LIMELIGHT AGAIN

Little Rock, June 2S.-James Buch- anan, of the Little Rock Travellers, last year pitched no-hit, no-run game against Memphis. He came near duplicating the performance yes- terday when he shut Mobile out, to 0. Up until the time one man was out in the eighth, Mobile had made nothing like a hit Rhoton then hit to center and Sentz might have got ten it, had be been quicker, but he pre- ferred to play it safe, and took the ball on the bound. Watson followed with single to left. Sentell made another hit in the ninth, Buchanan evidently letting up after Mobile had secured a hit. Little. Rock played rings about Mobile, which team has been the hardest for Little Rock to beat this year.

sepulchre they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in white gar ment, and they were affrighted. The women who have been watching in the tomb start to flee when Jesus, robbed in white and illumined by His own light, stops them, saying: Be not afraid; go tell thy brethren that they go into Galilee and there they shall see Me !" The snowy white of His robe, the light from Ills face and hands make a charming contrast with the verdure of the country and the rich oriental color of their costumes. This scene, though charming, is colorless com. pared with ''The Resurrection" which shows the Saviour guarded by an angel rising heavenward, while all those who sinned against Him are suffering and grooming below.
 Even more dramatic, though less horri. ble, are the two pictures showing Jesus revealing Himself to Mary Magdalene- In the first, when she meets Him in the garden, she is so frightened that she is ready to flee. But Christ. by His calm manner and soft voice, brings her back.
 She is about to touch His garments, but He warns her not to, so she throws her trating herself before Him illustrates the words, Jesus sayeth unto her, Touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say unto them I ascend unto my Father and your Father and to my God and your God

earthen cooking utensils and various yes sels of pottery In a few Instances in- struments made of bone and copper ar ticles were added. Now and again, but only in comparatively rare cases, gold ornaments formed part of the collection. These took the conventionalized forms of animals, the tortoise, scorpion, eagle and lizard being represented in castings that display an astonishing degree of expert ness. But of all the various shapes as- sumed by these curious articles of wor- ship or adornment, that of the frog is most frequently depicted, leading to the surmise that the reptile was held sacred by these people. Rattles. bells and whistles are also numerous among the articles found.
 It is highly probable that the mineral resources of Panama will be exploited in the near future. Gold, copper manga nese and coal are known to exist in sev- eral parts of the country, but as yet very little of It's area has been subjected to geological survey. When the canal comes into operation a great demand for coal will arise and the island of Muerto, on the. coast of Chiriqui, which is said to be a solid mass of 1t, should prove valuable source of supply. American capital and enterprise may find favor able field here and in other directions Fruit growing will surely become one of the chief industries of the land. The country about Chiriqui Bay is already devoted largely to this business, but with improved transportation facilities the en- tire region along the Costa Rican bor- der-which is as rich as any in the trop- ics and capable of easy develoDment-wiu

His mother, Joseph, Mary Magdalene, some of His Apostles and followers dressed in gay garbs and with radiant faces.
 Bouguereau later gave his interpreta- tion of the Resurrection In his painting called the "Resurreetion Morn" Though treated in the same rather conventional ways, the work is masterly outlined. It shows Christ, carrying His banner, ap- bearing before His mother and Mary Mag dalene for the first time. The theme is handled more dramatically than most of the masters have handled it. The two women appear to be carried away com pletely by His coming. Besides this vivid representation of the incident, Bonguereau Is a master of outline and his draperies have bodies within them.
 thoroughly German conception of the Saviour is "The Ascension, by G. Bier man. Though the face is thoroughly Teutonic, it is, nevertheless, august and impressive. It lacks all the effeminate and sentimental creation of the old mas ters The Saviour, with glory about His head, is rising into heaven, looking back on the scene of His suffering and ex- tending His hands in benediction over the homes of those who had slain Him.
 The French painter Tissot's interpre- tation of the Resurrection is certainly more weird and unusual. It is based on the words, And when they looked they saw that the stone was rolled away, for 1t was very great. And entering into the

made by the pendulums were registered on mirrors and then reflected so as to be tremendously magnifed In this way the differences in these pendulum curves down to points imperceptible to the hu- man eye were registerd.
 Thus magniHed, the differences caused by the pull of the moon and sun on the earths solid crust were observed and measured by the Prussian scientist. This difference is ITS inches in the Northern Hemisphere and an equal amount in the southern half of the globe.
 Thus there is all told a pulling away from each pole according to the position of the sun total of 15% inches. This difference is uniform. The giving of the rigid structure of the world equal to that of fine steel, Is not noticeable any more than the tides can be observed out at sea.
 There is apparently no connection be- tween this newly discovered motion Of the crust of the earth and earthquakes. This must be due to the fact that every atom of the globe feels this motion and all move simultaneously and In uniform speed and direction. Hence there are no local disturbances. It is the pull of the entire universe, although of course the nearness of the moon and the enormous mass of the sun, comparatively speak ing. make these two bodies the strong elements in crust motion on the earth.

three women who are guarding the tomb.
 The announcement of the Resurrection is depicted much more happily in pie ture called Easter Morning" It shows the Virgin praying in her room. In spite of the expression of solemn devotion on her face, 1t is lined with care and suffer- ing. An angel appears holding lily In one hand with a dove posed on her finger. The room at her approach is bathed with glorious light A few artists have de- picted the Resurrection without introduce ing the figure of the Saviour This Car To Dolci, an early Italian painter, did in his Portrait of St. Cecilia She holds lily in her hand and the expression on her face tells that she is made happy by the Easter lily, the symbol of purity and eternal life.
 But Easter Morning, with the Resurrec- ton, is the climax in the dramatic life of Christ. Many episodes in His life are sad, somber and tragic, but the Resurrection, like His Birth, is bright with hope, joy and a fuliment-more than that, pledge for an eternal life. For the Resur- rection says that pain, suffering and death are transitory. There is a fuller.

 One does not get correct estimate of the Panamans from travellers who make flying visits and only come in close con- tact with the lower classes in the capi- tai. You cannot know any people until you have entered their homes and eaten with them Moreover, the Panamans while always courteous and genial, have the dignined reserve that characterizes races of Latin extraction. The well-to-do creole families are educated and refined The children are sent to the best col ieges of Europe and America and usually speak English duently and correctly. In many respects the habits and customs of the natives differ from ours, of course, and in not a few we might defer to their example with advantage to our selves For instance, Americans on the Isthmus would do better to adopt the practice of taking breakfast at about the middle of the day, instead of eating a heavy meal immediately after rising. Then we might take lessons from the Panamans in politeness and self-posses sion. A Panama gentleman maintains his eauanimity under the most trying cir cumstances and he cannot be made to understand our word hustle" There does not appear to be any good reason why he should He gets through his days business quite as expeditiously in his own calm and deliberate way as he could by following our fussy fashion.

tive reality, but as she knew Him in life. His form, His face and even His rai- ments are the same, even to His voice and smile. Mary Magdalene Is thrilled with joy at the sight of seeing Him whom she thought was gone forever. Her beau tiful red tresses are hanging, her arms are uplifted as though she would touch her Saviour, she is so carried away her body looks as though 1t were ready to fly heavenward But Christ has His hands raised, the control expressed by His face and figure would say: "I am of the body but not the body. I have come to show you that there is no death, suf- fering is transitory. The real the worth while is beyond This Is the message your Father in Heaven would leave you and all who weep for the loved ones they have lost For this your Father sent Me to earth; for this I suffered death and I am resurrected" The note of spring is sounded in the foliage growing from the rocks, and the grasses springing into new life.
 Even more poetic is the first .Easter Dawn" by J. K. Thomson. The scene is early morning, so early that the clouds are hardly broken. Two angels are hoy ering in midair; beneath them are fields in early bloom. Through the breaking of the light they see an illumined form, half yelled half revealed, while their fine and poetic countenances are radiant with light, Joy and hope. In the distance are the three crosses. Hoffmann, the great German painter, has also depicted the Resurrection, but his handling is more conventional. He shows Christ rising on clouds, with two angels in adoration. They look up to Him with hope. joy and yearning, while His face and figure ex- press repose, contentment and a looking toward a greater and fuller life. num- Der of the old masters have made splen- did masterpieces of the Ascension, includ- ing Raphael, Rembrandt, Titan, etc. None are more splendid than Corregios' masterpiece. It shows Christ rising on a mass of billowy clouds; His countenance is sweet and happy He is surrounded by angels and trumpeters sounding their rejoicings and halleujahs, while below is

larger and eternal life beyond the portals of death and suffering. and this the Resurrection has proven.
 Though ancient and modern painters have given interpretation to this sublime moment, the later artists have made this incident more interesting, real and hu- man. Mack, though a modern painter, gives a conventionalized interpretation to his story; still the picture has splendid feeling and shows a great masters skill. Mary and Mary Magdalene are seen walking toward the tomb. They find an- gels sweet and fair guarding the holy sepulchre with crosses in their hands. As the angels see the shadowy form of their Saviour, their faces become illumined with great joy. while the expression of Marys face is that of happiness governed by splendid self-control. Though the note is that of joy, it is handled with splendid artistic reserve
 The Resurrection is handled more in terestingy by Plockhorst. This canvas was painted in 1925. Mary Magdalene has been watching and praying before the tomb when suddenly Christ appears be- fore her. He does not come as subJec-

~ ACTS connected with the tides, E showing conclusively that the mo-
 tion Of the waters of the earth Is caused by the attraction of the moon have been dimly understood for centuries. For nearly a hundred years the actual measurements of the tides in all im- portant sections of the coast lines of the world have been known to mariners and students.
 It has remained for Professor Hecker, of the Prussian Geodetical Institute. to demonstrate that the so-called solid sur face of the earth itself yields just like the oceans to the pull of the moon and the sun and back of that the final re- action of all the matter in the universe. While the motions of the ocean are large, being measured by feet, those of the solid crust of the earth are very small, measuring only inches.
 The calculations show that the earth as a solid possesses about the same elas- tlcity as a ball of solid steel In times long past, when the earth was molten through heat, the sun pulled 1t out of shape to three times the extent of what occurs now in the partially cooled off state of the globe. The planet Jupiter is so pulled out of shape that at certain periods its still plastic mass (having about the density of water) assumes an oval shape and at times dimly resembles a gigantic pear in the heavens.
 Professor Hecker, in making his cal citations, was forced to use the most delicate of pendulums and have even the temperature of the room he worked in always at the same point. The curves

but does not jar.
 Hoffman in 1924 depicted the next in cident in this story. This picture is 'ln the Sepulchre." It shows Christ at rest His mother kneels at His side as though she wished to glance lovingly on her boy for the last time. Mary Magdalene has just taken off the sheet covering His face. and a wonderful light radiating from His countenance illumines their faces and brightens the dark cavern. While with out wait three of the Apostles eager for any news. The scene depicts love and devotion rather than any outburst of un- controlled emotion.
 Bouguereau, the French painter. made the next link in this dramatic story in his painting the Holy Women at the Tomb" They are shrouded heavily in black except for their pallid faces. Two are praying. while one looks as though she caught a glimpse of the approaching angel who has come to announce the Resurrection of their Lord. The expres- sion on these countenances is SO ascetc that they seem to realize something won derfully mysterious Is to happen. This mystery is made more solemn by the angels approach. Though this picture is full of harmony and spiritual effect the expression of suffering on their faces and the wonderment at the angels approach are their chief charm. The bright light from the angel Is in marked contrast to the pallid faces and somber dress of the
