Safecracker, but Another
Makes Escape.

New York, July E.--After a running

holes IN a safe in which Di Angles for
the last month has kept from $4,000 to
$1,000 belonging to Italian societies.
AS they dashed out OF the place they
opened fre. Di Angles was not in
jured, and yelled for the police. The
officers responded and the chase
through the streets with a running ey-
change of shots continued for several
blocks.
Policeman Alberger finally cornered
a man who gave his name as Frank
Picci, on the t. stairway. The man
seized the officer by the throat, and

NEW DOCTRINES IN
A BIG UNIVERSITY

Chicago, July 9.-Members of the
University of Chicago divinity school
faculty have defined and formulated the
characteristics Of a new Christianity"
The professors, who have been widely
attacked for their higher criticism and
who for years have regretted the mis-
Interpretation of their beliefs, note the
arrival OF a new type of religion in a
concise and striking summary of adj
Vanced religious doctrine in an official
editorial. in the current number Of the
Biblical World. issued this week by the
University Press.
In the anonymous editorial, respon-
sibility for which is accepted by the Is
editors, the university authorities point
to the coming OF the Jaw Christianity"

ligion is described as scientific, ethical,

Besides the official article, With its
shafts at old-fashiOncd doctrine, the
Biblical World contains much that
probably will shock the orthodox relig-
ious centers. In an article on The
Bible in a New Light" Rev. Arthur z.
Whatham, of Louisville. declares:
LAS for the character or outward
structure of the Bible, II is no different
in kind from the bibles of other ancient
peoples, since equally with their theirs
it is made UP Of much that is ridiculous.

Professor Clyde w. Votaw Of the
University Of Chicago divinity school,
adds to the magazines critical trend
by denying that Peter was the founder
Of the church in Rome and denying the
authenticity OF the New Testament pas
sage on which the orthodox view is
based.
The editors Of the Biblical World last
night refused to reveal the name Of the
professor who wrote the editorial ell
titled "A New Type Of Christianity"
IF there be a controversy between

Sioux City, Ia, July 8.-The Iowa
law, which win prevent the show
ing of the fight pictures by any OF
the hundreds OF moving picture the
aters in the state, is drastic. One Sec
ton Of the code, which was drafted by
q man who was determined tc leave ~
loophole for technical evasion of the
laws intent, prohibits not only prize
fighting. but sparring matches, boxing
matches, glove contests, and all other
contests OF every kind. The man who
prepared the section knew that an ordi-
nary prohibition of a prize fight would
be evaded by fight promoters by the
applications Of such terms as "sparring
match glove contest" etc. The
blanket nature of the law prevents such
evasion.
Two sections Of the code prevent the
showing OF fight pictures. One section
prohibits the exhibition of pictures or
moving pictures of any prize fight,
glove contest, or exhibition OF any kind
which is prohibited by the section
above described. The penalty for vio-
lation of this statute is a fine of not
less than $500 nor more than 1000, or
Imprisonment in the county Jail for not
less than 80 days nor more than one
year, or both.
Another section prohibits aiding any
persons in preparing or giving such a
picture exhibition, n provides a pen
atty for violation of n fine of not less
than $50 nor more than 800. or inn
prisonment in h county jail for not
more than 80 days.

TERRIBLE ACT OF
A JEALOUS WOMAN
Shoots Husband and Daughter,
Then Ends Her Own Life
With Carbolic Acid.

Chicago, July 9.-Mrs. Henry Null
saw goaded to desperation by the al
legged brutality and unfaithfulness OF
her husband, a street car conductor,
today shot and fatally wounded the
latter and their 3-year-old daughter,
and then killed herself by taking car
bolic acid.
Mrs. Mulsaw planned her act care
fully. She borrowed a revolver from
her father, explaining that she needed
it for protection when her husband
worked at night. Then she wrote let
ters to her parents, to her mothcrin-
law and TO the public. In these she
declared she had been a good and
faithful wife, but that Mulsaw spent
his spare time with other women and
often beat her.
Muisaw is alleged to AVE been with
another woman until 4 o'clock this
morning when he returned to his home.
According to the police, he began
abusing his wife, Selling her by the
hair and kicking her. She then drew
the revolver and shot him in the abdO-
men, He fell to the floor, and she sent
another bullet into his back. She then
went TO her bedroom and fired q bullet
into the body of her little daughter.
Satisfied that both were dead, she
completed the tragedy by taking the
poison. That she kissed her child
after this act is shown by the marks
of acid or the Child's face.
The police found the woman dCaG.
At the hospital it was SAID that the
father and daughter could rot live.

Topeka. Kan. July 9.-The Topeka
Piaindealer. organ OF the negro race
in Kansas, prints an editorial on the
Reno fight pictures by its editor Nick
Chilcs, in which he says:
"A few foolish officials will try to
prevent the exhibiting of the moving
pictures. claiming it will create race
feeling. Why should it? The colored
people will not create a disturbance
because Johnson was victorious, and
the whites should not. Nobody but
fools would resort to such unmanly
acts. Had JofrT!cs won these officials
would have been willing for these pic
lures TO have been exhibited before
their Sunday schools and in their par
lOrs. This should be a free country,
and these who do not want to see the
DiCtures should STAY aWaY."

Reports From Interior and
Farm Land Speculation in
West Assigned as Causes.

New York, July S.-There was a
crash in prices of stocks with the OPEN
ing Of the stock market again today.
The paralysis OF demand and the free
offerings were similar to yesterday INC
produced like results in the rapid
crumbling of prices.
The tone of the comment reported
from interior bankers and the situa-
ton presented by the speculation in
farm lands were not liked. The slump
made low prices for the year In a few
prominent stocks, including Union Pa
cific, Reading II United States Steel.
Prices ~rebOunded in the course Of the
first half hour. This was after Read
ing, MO Pacific, Kansas az Texas,
Wabash preferred, Rock Island, Chesa-
peake g Ohio, American Car and some
others had shown losses of 2A to 3
points and tie general active list l to
? points.
Prices Rebound Again.
Before the days session OF the stock
exchange had half expired the market
turned very strong n prices recovered
to above last nights level. The trans
continental railroad stocks and Read
ing led the rally establishing advances
Of l to 2 points over yesterdays last
prices. The weakness of wheat and
corn in connection with reports of ia
vorablo weather for those crops had a
strengthening effect on stocks.
The downward urse of foreign X
change caused an expectation that gold
would be imported anG strengthened
the banking position. There was evi-
dence Of some buying for support, sup
posed TO be by important banking in
t~erests. while prices were declining.
The uncovered shorts were induced to
buy by this development and helped on
the recovery.
