of Niagara Falls, N. z, became in
sane on the Pullman of Union Pa
ciflc train near here last night and
fatally shot the porter of the car,

SEE STATES NEW
SIDERIAL THEORY
Astronomer at Mare Island OBJ.
Servatory Announces Compile
tion of Ten Years of Study
OTHER PLANETS INHABITED
Declares All Phenomena of HeaV-
ems Can Be Explained on
His Hypothesis
OTHER PLANETS INHABITED
ASSOCIATED Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-Prof. t.
], ]. See, U. S. N, in charge Of the
naval astronomical observatory at
Mare island, addressed the Popular
Educational society, known as the Ma
terialists' association, tonight, and an
nounced the completion of his research
es in cosmical evolution to which he
has devoted ten years of his time.
He stated his investigations have
evolved a new and improved theory of
the siderial universe One of the points
attached to sthe discovery that the con-
gregation of the nebulae away from
the Milky Way, with maximum ac-
cumulation near the poles of the Gal
aXy, Is the result Of the action OF re-
pulsive forces under which fine, Co.'S
mical dust, expelled from the stars, is
driven as far away from the Milky
Way as possible.
According to the speaker, science had
not heretofore put forth any general
theory of the origin and distribution
of the nebulae. The result of decade
of study has shown that the nebulae
are formed from dust expelled from
the stars, while the stars in turn are
formed from the condensation of the
nebulae.
The noted scientist claimed his the
ory of cosmical evolution involved the
action of both attractive and repulsive
forces and had enabled him to explain
all classes of heavenly bodies.
Prof. Sees concluding argument was
that the planets now shown to revolve
about the fixed stars are inhabited by
some kind of intelligent beings so that
life is unquestionably a general phe-
nomenon of the universe.
Men of science must admit that life
t.. "a pn11ntlnCG worlds
volving about the fixed stars, said the
astronomer or else concede that life
upon earth is an accident and mis-
take, existing for hundreds of millions
of years in direct violation of the laws
of nature.
Life fourishing on the earth and be-
lieved to exist on Mars and Venus is
but a drop in the Pacific ocean as
compared to that flourishing on the
thousands of billions of habitable
worlds now definitely proved to revolve
about the fixed stars, said See.

STOCKHOLDERS PETITION
MAY FREE BANKER WALSH
DeposNors Must Be Unit in Ask
ing CIemency

CHICAGO, Aug. ga special from
Washington says: If the stockholders
and depositors Of the wrecked Ma
tional and State bank in Chicago, once
dominated by John R. Walsh, are prac-
tically a unit in asking the pardon
of the former banker from the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kas., he prob
ably will be liberated by President
Taft.
In any event, the proportion of the
stockholders and depositors who join
in the petition for a pardon will have
a good deal to do with the decision of
the department of justice on the de-
cision of recommending clemency.
The department has been advised
that attorneys for Walsh now are
striving to get signatures to their
petition from all the persons inter-
ested in any way in the banks at the
time of their enforced dissolution.

in Jail Studies the
Origin of Christian Religion

The unrest and anxiety Of the tedious
sessions OF the trial each evening are
blotted out after a few chapters ana Ma
bray turns to a night Of rest. The trial
has robbed him neither Of his interests Of
study or his sleep He has formed new
associations Of old characters through this
pouring over books. His chief companion
the man IN all the history Of the Christian
faith who attracts him most, is the Apostle
Paul.
There TO my mind, Is the strongest
character In bible history" says the man
who is on trial as the head OF this gigantic
robber-trust. What makes Paul seem SO
strong to me is that he was not always
Paul, the great apostle. but was once Saul
Of Tarsus, who, in his own words, was the
chief OF sinners
"one cannot really appreciate the worth
Of this mans character and example until
he traces his footsteps 20 DamascuA Not
since the world began Is there another such
conversion as that wrought him whom God
blinded TO effect the transformation"
And so this stole OF the world will sit
and talk, as long as one will listen to him.

Mob Attacks
Street Cars
in Bogota
Attempt to Resume Service in Capital
of Colombia Signal for Renewal
of Anti-American Riots.

BOGOTA, Colombia. Wednesday, March
1G-An attempt to renew the street railway
service today caused serious street rloting,
which continues as this dispatch Is filed
In the early evening. Thus far the mob
has, respected the American legation, which
Is under police guard. All Colombians en-
ployed by the American 1mpany owning
the railway system are in serious danger.
The Bogota City Railway company is
composed of Americans, who received a
concession from former President Reyes.
The granting Of the concession proved un-
popular, and on March a mob attacked
the cars Of the company and eventually
forced suspension Of traffic. At the
same time the American legation was
stoned. Through the Intervention Of Amer
lean Minister Northcott, the violence ceased
for time, but was renewed today when
the company sought to restore It's service
The homes OF the Colombians employed
by the company and the offices in which
some Of them have quarters were stoned
today and much damage done.
4 The authorities have acted energetically
In protecting the American legation and
private property, which thus far have not
been molested by the rioters.

John c. Mabray is studying the history Of
the early Roman empire and the origin Of
the Christian religion.
From a career pregnant with excitement
and melodrama the head Of the big store
now on trial at Council Bluffs, has turned
to the ways OF the student. Fourteen
months in Jail devoted largely to the pc
rusal OF the pages Of history have developed
In the chief OF the ''Milionaires' club" a
passion for the Investigation Of the life Of
ancients, The Tarqulns, the Caesars and
the heroes OF the Punic ars are as faml ar
TO him as the faces OF the disgruntled
mikes and infinitely more interesting.
Through long hours in the Pottawattamie
county jail he has traced across the pages
the stories Of the early Christian martyrs
and followed the jealous crusaders on their
relentless pilgrimages to the Holy City.
No trlfllng fctlons OF romance and ad-
venture for John c. Mabray. His life has
been market by enough OF all that The
frailties Of human kind are all too apparent

Big ponderous volumes are strewn about
his cell IN the jail, Mr. Mabrtys books are
loaned 70 him from the Council Bluffs
library. He Is the one most constant and
regular patron OF the library.
