the newspapers during the last few
days"
He said: There is not the slight
est reason for such a sensation be-
cause we are at peace with all the
nations of the world, and are quite
likely to remain So"
Moreover, the president declared he
does not find our army ineffective
and inefficient, though he said more
trained officers are needed and that
we ought to have ammunition and
guns enough for ready use in cases
of emergency.
"A little more forethought, little
more attention to the matter on the

shall have all of the army, and all of
the munitions and material of war
that we ought to have in a republic
situated as we are, 5000 miles on
the one hand, and 5000 miles on the
other, from the source of hostile in

Incidentally the speech was blow
to Secretary of War Dickinson, in
that the president did not hesitate to
take issue with him on his opinion
as to the condition of the American
army
The sharp difference evident in the
views of the president and the secre-

the latter intended to resign his port

this report is correct, but undoubted-

The president declared the United

a militia of about 125, 900 men. The

ton into a much larger body We

L0RIMER CLEARED;
EVIDENCE Is OUT
Subcommittee Declares No Bribery
Traced to Senator-Majority Is
Not Impaired.

Washington - The subcommittee
which investigated the charges of
bribery against Senator William Lori
mer in connection with his election
has submitted it's report to the com
mittee on privileges and elections.
The report yindicates Mr.. Lorimer,
finding the bribery could not be trace
to him and that bribery had not de-
stroyed his constitutional majority.
The report is unanimous, being signed
by the seven members of the COM
mittee which conducted the investi-
cation.
With regard to bribery practised in
the Illinois legislature the subcommit-
tee reports that the evidence failed
to connect Mr. Lorimer with the use
of money in promoting his election.
The committee does not declare that
there could be found no evidence
that there was bribery, but under a
investigation laid out for itself by
the committee was to ascertain
whether Mr.. Lorimer could be con-
nected with the bribery.
Having disposed of that question,
there was only one more for the COM
mittee to consider That was wheth-
er Mr. Lorimer's constitutional major
ity had been impaired by bribery. On
the roll call on which he was elected
May 27, 1909, Mr. Lorimer received
10S votes, or six more than the 102
which were required to give him a
majority.
Had the committee found evidence
which proved that at least seven mem
bers of the Illinois legislature had
been bribed to vote for Mr.. Lorimer
it would have to report that he is not
entitled to a seat in the senate. Ac-
cording to report of the investigating
committee, the evidence failed to i'm
pair Mr. Lorimer's constitutional ma
jority. Accepting the testimony Of
fered and giving it full credence, the
committee finds that Mr.. Lorimer
would still have a majority of three
more than the actual number of
votes required to elect him.

TWICE USED MANUSCRIPTS
Original Writing on PaIimpsests Is
Now Deciphered in Europe by
the Aid of Photography.

Before the days of books, parch-
ments became so costly that economi-
cal scholars erased more or less per
fectly what had been written, and
used them a second time. In this
manner some highly interesting and
valuable manuscripts have been lost
to the world. But in many cases the
ancient characters are still family
visible. Twice used manuscripts are
called palimpsests, and many modern
scholars have strained thier eyes in
the effort to decipher the original
writing.
Of late years photography has been
successfully applied in Germany and
France for this work. The color of
the faded ink of the older writing on
a palimpsest is yellow. A photograph
of such a manuscript was made
through a yellow screen. The result
was a negative on which the old writ
ing vas barely discernible, being
little darker than the background,
while the later black writing was
found to appear distinctly as white
letters.
Next an ordinary negative on a
bromide plate was made, and from
this was produced a transparent posi-
tive on which both writings appeared
dark and about equally distinct. Then
the transparency was superimposed
on the first negative, so that the dark
letters of the later writing covered
the light letters, representing the
same writing in the negative. They
were thus eliminated, being indis-
tinguishably merged with the general
dark background produced by the
combination Of positive and negative
But the earlier characters, since they
were dark in both cases, appeared in
the combination intensely black and
distinct

VERACITY OF THE BIBLE
After a Visit to the Holy Lana EVeH-
a Skeptio Must Be Con-
WINGED.

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and, IN"
deed, to the Holy Land generally, VINO
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense of the sanct1ty
of the location and of the events tnat
have transpired there, and that Is;
the more than remarkable correspond
ence between the things and places
shown us today as having been asso-
ciated with the life and work OF the
Saviour and other events that enter
into the structure of our religious
faith and the descriptions and &C
counts of them, as furnished us in
the pages of the Holy Scriptures
They agree with them in every re-
spect and it is impossible, after care
fully considering and comparing them,
to doubt their identity, so exactly
are they in accord with the Bible
narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
ment of the buildings, the very articles
of diet and clothing Of ancient days
are plainly recognizable in the doings
and surroundings Of today. Indeed,
where modern methods have not be-
come obtrusive the manners and Gus
toms of the people remain much the
same as in the days of the presence
on earth of the Saviour. Between the
descriptions given in the Bible of
localities, climatic and geographical
conditions, distances, ETC., Of these
times and those of today there Is
hardly any discrepancy. even
skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con-
WINGED of it's veracity; to the believer
it comes as a wonderful conviction
a satisfactory confederation or en-
couragement to see things as those
who described them SO graphically
saw them so long ago.-ColumbiaR

BLAST KILLS l3;;
NEW YORK SHAKEN
1925 Hurt in Destruction of Rail-
way Power House.
STREET CAR is HURLED FAR
Four Lose Lives as Coach Falls Upon
Auto-Scare in Hotels Near
Grand Central
Station.

New York.-Nine persons, includ-
ing two women, are known to- have
been killed; four missing work
men are believed to have persisted;
125 people were injured and property
was damaged from 100000 to $1,000
900 by an explosion of Illuminating gas
in the auxiliary powerhouse of the
Grand Central station, located in the
heart of the city.
OF 125 injured, SO were removed to
hospitals. Of those eight may die. An
investigation by the police, the dis
trict attorneys Office and the cor
oner's office is under way. Traffic on
the New York Central railroad ceased
entirely for some hours and was dis
organized for the remainder of the
day, but the new station itself, now in
progress of construction, was not dam
aged.
The dead are Nicolo Galucci, labor
er; Patrick Jordan, laborer; E. B. Liv-
ermore, Pullman car inspector; c. Nc
Marrow, laborer; Edith Offner, ste
nographer; Mary B. Pope, residence
Boston, Mass; Charles Roberts, ex-
pressman Frank Stagg, Waterman,
and John Ryan, laborer.
A passing surface car carrying
seven passengers was lifted from its
tracks and hurled into an automobile
running alongside. Four of the seven
passengers were killed outright, but
the chauffeur of the motor car was
only cut and bruised.
For some hours it was believed that
dynamite alone could have wrought
such havoc, but Fire Chief Croker
said he was convinced the whole eX-
plosion was due to a mixture of air
and Illuminating gas, used in light
ing railroad cars, touched off by an
electric spark. The gas had accumu-
lated in the auxiliary pcwerhouse
from broken pipe snapped off by a
runaway passenger car.
Foundations were Jared, walls
were shaken out of plumb, windows
were blown in by the thousands, cell
ings came crashing down on the heads
Of those beneath and the pavements
were Uttered with a crisp tinkling
fall of pulverized glass that topped
the shoe soles.
The full amount of the property
damage is as yet unavailable, and may
exceed the rough and conservative os-
innate of 100000. The loss to the
New York Central Railroad company
includes the physical damage done to
the power house, which was utterly
wrecked; the delay to construction
work and the damage done to cars
standing near the power house. The
loss to shOpkeepers and property own
ers in the vicinity will spread over a
wide range of items Whole fronts of
buildings were left without window,
like sightless masks.
AS nearly as can be determined this
is how the accident occurred: A train
load Of empty passenger cars, hauled
by an electric motor, in charge of AL
bert Seagroatt, got out of control OF
the brakes, crashed into a steel and
| concrete buffer post, snapped the post
off and rammed a pile of lumber be-
hind the post into a two and one-half
| inch gas main, connecting with the
taps from which the tanks of the pas
senger cars are charged at $50 pounds
TO the square inch.
