The Christian Era Is
 Three Years Late

According to Professor David Lyon, curator of the Semitic museum at Harvard university, 1t is now the year 1913, and to write 1t 1910 Is to assert a his tOriCal untruth. Researches, he declared, have definitely estab- lished this.
 Professor Lyon declares King Herod died 75O A. U. C., instead of in 753, according toprevalent belief, and in accepting the latter date as the beginning of the Christian era historians have erred. As Christ is known to have been born a year before He rods death, he was born in 749
 Prom recent researches" said the Professor, i've have positive proof that Herod's son, Archi- leus, was deposed in 759 of the era A. U. C. The records show that he ruled nine years, so that he must have ascended the throne in 75O.
 "Herod's other son, Ant1past, was deposed in 792 and cones have been found which show Antipa>t ruled for forty-two years. He also must have as cended his throne 75O years af- ter the building of Rome.
 "We know that Herod, at his leath, divided his kingdom be- tween his two sons. Ancient his torians placed Herod's death at 753, and this date has been ac- cepted as the beginning of the Christian era. but is now proven that the event occurred three years previously"

FREIGHT RATES ARE MATERIALLY
 ADVANCED
Will Add Millions to the Rev enues of Leading Rail-
 road Systems

Freight earnings of the rail- roads between Chicago and the Rocky mountains will be increas- ed almost 12 per cent by the rate advances recently announc- ed and some others to be filed in Washington, taking into consid- eration the ultimate effect of the final checking of tariffs accord ing to vice president of one of the western systems.
 There has been no general ad- vance and no fixed percentage of advance" said he, but the aver age advance on about 100 com modities is around 12 per cent. We have gone over each commo- dity rate carefully and deter mined what 1t will stand. No effort was made to change the class rates. In advancing com modity rates the class rates have been observed as the maximum. Most of the commodity rates advanced will continue to be commodity rates, but where the the differences between the old commodity rates and the class rates were only 2 or 8 cents per 100 pounds the commodities have been taken into classihca- tion.
 sI think tho interstate com merce commission realizes that many commodity rates have been preferential and equivalent to a system of rebates because the special reasons for which they were made in the early days of the west no longer exist. Traffic conditions in the west are get ting more like those in the east.
 "We have readjusted the rates equitably, so there will be no changes in the relations of the rates, no disturbance ot indus tries or commercial centers. The advances will create the least possible disturbance. The amount involved has been gross ly overestimated."
 It is believed that the 12 per cent average advance in these commodities, on top of the re- cent advance in coal, wool, live stock, packing house products and other important freight, and the further commodity advances planned for July 1, would add $1,OOO. 900 freight revenue the next fiscal year to the earnings of a railroad that showed $50, 100000 freight revenue the cur rent fiscal year.

FROM THE TRAINING
CAMPS
(Ey Associated Press.)

Ben Lomond, Calf, May 13:-1t
developed here today, where the sole
discussion centers on the selection OF
the third man for the Emeryvi1le
ring, that Eddie Smith of Oakland Is
about the only one Of the California
referees under consideration who
will prove acceptable to this camp.
Berger 10 known to be particularly
averse to either Jack We1ch or Ed
die Graney, which leaves Smith prao-
tically alone in the California field.
Just what is the objection to Jack
Welch is not known, but it is ru-
mored that the opposition to Graney
is based on personal differences be-
tween him and Berger. In the mean
time it is known here that there
are powerful influences working for
Graney and If the feud between him
and Berger can be patched up It is
believed the blacksmith will be Sc
lected.
It is not yet definitely decided that
Jeffries will show in San Francisco
on May ~. An agreement in regard
to a financial understanding has not
been reached with the manager Of
the club which will put on the ex-
hibition.
Jeffries did no gymnasium work
today and contented himself with a
row on the river. It is probable the
ten mile morning grinds will be dis
pensed with.
