ENGLISH ANTHEM CHANGED

That Abo> ,sh Tricks" of For
eisn tics" Replaced.
A change has been made in the Eng
lish national anthem. In these days,
when the main thought throughout the
civilized world is peace, one of the old
verses of the anthem is said to have
struck the king as sounding a some
what discordant note. 1t ran:
o Lord our God, arise!
Scatter his enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics;
Frustrate their knavish tricks
On him our hopes we fix.
oh, save us all!
That verse has now been replaced by
the following, written by Dean Hole,
and breathing a more peaceful spirit:
o Lord our God, arise!
Scatter his enemies,
Make wars to cease,
Keep US from plague and dearth,
Turn thou our woes to mirth
And over all the earth
Let there be peace.
This alteration has been specially
sanctioned by King George and is
therefore of national Importance, see
ing that it is now likely to be uni
versally followed.

VETS LEAD IN TEXAS.
Prohibition Workers Alleee Fraud In
Many Counties.

Austin, Tex, July %. - The state
wide prohibition election was almost q
dog fall The antis have majority
of 5000 to 1000 votes on the face of
the returns made to the headquarters
Of that faction. The drys do not con-
cede that the vets have such a chance
and claim the official canvass will show
a majority in favor of them. Besides
this contention, the drys are preparing
to institute contest proceedings in
many counties of south Texas, where
it is alleged that fraud was committed
The charge is made that more than
$4,000 fraudulent votes were cast by
unnaturalized Mexicans and by ne
groes who had not lawfully acquired
their poll tax receipts, the latter being
one Of the prerequisites for voting.
The canvass of the state will take
place here next Saturday by the re-
turning board consisting Of the gov
ernor, attorney general and secretary
Of state.

GAMBLERS LAY Low
Philadelphia Chance Houses
Are Closed,
BLOW TO EASY MONEY MEN.
Exposure of Lax Police Methods
Causes Stir In Pooiroon District,
and Coming Winter May Be
Hard One For Laying of Odds.

Philadelphia, July 25. - Frightened
gamblers are making no efforts to re-
open their bouses. The exposure of
many Of the houses last week caused
the tip 10 be sent out that all games
of chance would be under the police
ban untn the agitation over the affair
dies down.
1t did not take exposure to compel
Lieutenant George Bausewine of the
Fourth and Race streets station to put
his district in order. When gambling
dens sprang up like mushrooms all
over town Lieutenant Baueewine made
personal investigation Of his district.
1t was planned by a syndicate of
gamblers 30 start four new houses in
the central part Of the city. The idea
was TO draw the patronage of Kid
Boyd's syndicate, which was smashed
when his handsome rooms in Walnut
street, near Broad, were raided and
the paraphernalia was confiscated by
the police. The new syndicate was
about ready to open for business when
bASJ "OAC "oAhOo thub LhCy lislu DCN-
ter go slow until the present trouble
blew over.
Director of Public Safety Henry
Clay was at Beasley's Point N j.,
and Timothy OLeary, assistant super
intendent Of police, was away on a
yachting trip, but both have returned
to the city. What action they will
take as result of the exposure of the
lax police efforts to stop gambling can
only be guessed at. Director Clay has
not summoned any of the heutenants
of the districts where gambling was
found to the front. His actions last
week indicated that he did not intend
to make an investigation.
The gamblers expected an easy time
all winter, and even the ''pikers," who
layed odds as low as 80 cents on horse
races and "weched" when they were
heavy losers, were jubilant when they
saw that the police were winking at
the violations of the law. The gam
blers are now laying odds among
themselves at the length of time they
will be out of business.

POLICE ON THE JOB.

At Gary, Ind, Three Officers Mistake
Explosion For Bank Robbery.
Gary, Ind, July 25.-The central part
of Gary was shaken by an explosion
that wrecked a two story business
building and injured eight people. An
accumulation of gas, the police say,
caused the explosion. The building is
near the First National bank, and
three policemen rushed to the bank,
expecting to meet yeggmen making
away with the cash in the vaults.
People on either side of the wrecked
structure were thrown from their
beds. In less than an instant follow
ing the explosion the building was en-
veloped in flames. The damage is
$4,000.

Taft and La Toilette Men In Fight For
Control


Control.
Lincoln. Neb., July pa clash be-
tween the Taft and La Toilette forces
is foreshadowed at the Republican
state convention meeting here today.
The Taft men insist upon an indorse-
ment being given the president. The
La Toilette supporters declare that if
this is attempted they will introduce
resolutions asking that the convention
declare in favor of the Wisconsin SEN
ator.
If no Endorsement Is asked for Taft
they will ask for none for La Fol-
lette. This was the course decided on
at caucus. Less than twenty-five Of
the ninety-two county conventions
passed resolutions of Endorsement. The
major part of these were for Taft.
Governor Aldrich and other party
leaders are striving to secure COM
promise In which the national admin
istration will be commended.
The Prohibitionists and the Populists
also are holding their state convention
here. The Populists have practically
broken with the Democracy.

NEW PHONETIC LANGUAGE.
Lightning Communication by Means Of
Elemental Sounds,

OOuH0Ss
A student of phonetics and philolo-
gy, NJ. J. NJ. Chappaz Of Mieussy,
France, asserts that, like the chemist
who has reduced compounds to ele-
ments. he has reduced all spoken
words Of civilized languages to their
elemental sounds, and by those sounds
he purposes to invent a method Of
rapid communication hitherto un-
known. He writes of the proposed in.
vention as follows:
AN instantaneous language, con.
Sisting Of new phonetic method got
up by forty-three polyglot professors
of divers countries, enabling all tht
inhabitants of the world to pronounce
read, write, spell, print, ithograph,
telegraph, type and telephone on the
spot all local. national, colonial and
international languages, including Es-
peranto, with their pure accent and
without having studied them, and to
understand and speak these languages
infinitely more quickly and more cor
rectly than by the ordinary methods" !"
In explaining this miraculous inven-
ton the author says that it is based
on the principle of reproducing the
same sound by one and the same let
ter in all languages in which it oc-
ours" He asserts that the forty-three
polyglot professors have discovered
that the sounds In all the languages
in the world are reduced to forty-five
and consequently all that is required
is to represent these forty-flve sounds
by forty-five separate symbols. com
posing a universal alphabet.

London, July 25.-Political passion
mons in fashion that has not been
equaled since the memorable occasion
eighteen years ago when the Gladstone
bill for home rule in Ireland reached
the committee stage. At that time
feeling of q partisan nature ran so
high that members came 10 blows on
the floor Of the house.
Everybody knew that It was the in
tention Of the premier 10 declare the
attitude of the government on the
lords amendments 10 the veto bill, but
none Of the members of the opposition
and those persons who were in their
care foresaw the intentions Of the foes
Of the ministry. From the tap OF
Speaker Lowther's gavel the session
was at the mercy Of a small band Of
Tory extremists who had resolved not
to give or take quarter.
When the premier arose to speak he
was met with veritable torrent of
scorn and insult.
Traitor, traitorv' was roared in
deafening tones from the opposition
benches. These yells were accompa-
MED by perfect cataract of jeers and
taunts, with which were mingled half
hearted sentences of violent criticism.
In the midst of the confusion Mr.
Asquith tried again and again to make
himself heard, but he was always cut
off at the end of few words. Once,
when alluding to the death of King
Edward, he was interrupted by cries
of "Who killed the king?" and keep
the king out of it," At every inter-
ruption the members of the ministry
retorted with counter cries and with
virulence that was equal to that Of the
opposition until the feelings Of the
rivals was so fevered that a disgrace
full brawl seemed inevitable
Throughout it all Mr.. Asquith main.
tained an air of continued calm.

IMPORTANT HISTORICAL
FIND ~ CALIFORNIA,
Digger Indians E-';.d fottery--Tall
Skeleton Unecrlhed.

Ethno,ogists will be interested In Il
discovery made by Assistant Curator
William Altman of Golden Gate Park
Memorial museum namely, the fact
hitherto denied that the Digger In.
d1ans Of California were acquainted at
least with the rudiments of pottery
making. Until now no pottery of Dig
ger Indian manufacture has ever been
found, says Altman, and therefore
he highly values the find he made in
an Indian burial mound at Concord,
In Contra Costa county.
From an excavation made by work
men in the employ of the Port Costa
Water company have been found a
large number Of Indian relics of great
age, including the specimens of crude
pottery already mentioned and the
skeleton of an Indian giant more than
seven feet tall The skeleton is in pos.
session Of DR.. Neff of Concord, who Is
mounting 1t for exhibition The pot
terry specimens consist Of charm stones
of baked clay Of spindle shape and
pierced so that they may be suspended
from the neck by cords. In addition.
there are large number of knives
and arrowheads Of obsidian, or vol.
canic glass, which is extremely rare
in this part of the state. and leads TO
the belief that they were brought
down by Shasta or Modoc Indians and
traded for other things with the Dig
gers Of Contra Costa.
A striking popularity about these
arrowheads is their shape and pat
tern. They are notched in a very
painstaking way with Jagged division
and resemble very much some of the
weapons of Filipino savages. A stone
mortar and several phallic pestles
carved with considerable skill and pre-
cision, stone sinkers for fishing and
artistic pipes made of soapstone, to-
Rether with a quantity Of wampum
are among the souvenirs secured by
Assistant Curator Altman, the donor
being Joseph Hittman Of Concord.
The mound from which these relies
were taken is close to the railroad
depot at Concord. The work of exca-
vation Is still going on, and more in
tereSting finds are looked for.

The Sentinel is authorized by Mr.. C. C.
Provine to withdraw his name from the
race for foater representative from
this and Montgomery counties. In Ia
king this step, Mr.. Provine wants it
understood that he is not insensible to
the wishrs of his friends and the many
evidences Of interest in his candidacy.
He states that his farming interest is
such that it demands practically all of
his time and that the conclusion forces
itself upon him that he is not situated
to give the canvass nor the important
duties of legislator the time they de-
serve without serious injury to bim-
self. In view of these facts, he has
decided to get out of the race now
while there can be no embarrassment by
his withdrawal
The Sentinel desires to add that Mr..
Provine would have been an important
factor in the race. His recognized
ability and his splendid integrity of
character place him among those in the
front ranks of the citizenship of Gren-
ada county.
