ESCAPE WITH THE SPOILS

LONDON. May 4.-The operations at
Jerusalem Of the Anglo American syndi-
cate OF excavators threaten to cause an
Interesting diplomatic affair. According
10 todays messages from Constantinople,
the Turkish government takes a serious
View OF the matter and has sent high
officials 10 Jerusalem to investigate the
charge that the foreigners despoiled the
mosque Of Omar and discovered and car
ried away sacred relies hidden from the
Romans when the city was sacked by
Titus In A. D. TO-
Meantime the whereabouts OF the arch
is mystery. The members of the expe-
dition, with their prizes. embarked al
Jaffa, Palestine. flftyfour miles by rail-
way northwest OF Jerusalem. on April i9
They went aboard Captain Parker's
yacht, which had been waiting them. and
set sail before the people Of Jerusalem
learned what they had done 1t is prob
able that the yacht is now heading fol
England
There Is no doubt that the promoters
OF the enterprise hoped TO discover the
ark Of the covenant and the seven
branched candlestick. but the Constantl-
nople dispatch today says Ii is believed
that the explorers found Solomon's crown
his sword and his ring and an ancient
manuscript Of the Bible.
The extent of the operations is showr
by the statement that 100000 had beer
spent by the syndicate. which engaged
the construction of the London subway
railroad. Members of the Armour family
Of Chicago are reputed TO be among the
hackers of the enterprise.

NEW YORK, May 4.-Thc singing for
the first time of "The Women's Marsel-
laise." and the speech OF Ex-Governor
James H. Brady OF Idaho were the fea-
tures OF a suffrage rally the other day al
Clinton hall TO enlist marchers In the
protest parade on May 6. Ex-Governor
Brady spoke for an hour with Interrupt
tions OF great applause, and Nine. Elsa
.Gregori conducted the singing of her com
position, called "Women's Political
March" Henry G. Chapman wrote the
words. Here is sample stanza:
Come. every matron. every maid
That In this fair land OF ours doth dwell
Hear the clarion call.
Bidding us one and all
TarIy nc, no more, but haste the ranks te
Our purple banner huttcrs in the air.
Hear our trumpets blowing far and near!
Let your voice resound
All the earth around
Till the whole earth at last shall hear"
Equal suffrage for women has been
OF the greatest benefit TO manhood as well
as to womanhood In the state of Idaho,
Governor Brady said. "All the old OBJ
jections OF the anti -sufrragists have been
proved fallacious. In tho flfteen years
that women have been enfranchised in
Idaho all the superintendents of educa
tion have been women; so per cent of the
county and city clerks have been women
and over 80 per cent Of the county treas
urers have been women. In all that time
not one woman has been removed from
office for incompetency or dishonesty but
several men have been sent 10 the peni-
tentiary for defaulting.
Women have purified idaho politics
They have never gone toward the gutter
in their political affiliations, but have
ing women the ballot in our experience
has not made them less womanly. but
rather hrs given them the chance TO dis
play the sturdier traits OF their char
acter.

York You VIII never settle some OF the
questions Of living that are pressing

then they jumped out. but suffered

Minneapolis, Minn.-On the basis
that evidence submitted by the Wells
Fargcg Express company failed to
show it was not earning { per cent
on the investment which the COM
pany claimed to be it's as%scssablc
value in South Dakota, Judge C. A.
Willard declined to enjoin the rail-
road commission Of that state from
enforcing the new schedule OF rates
worked out in accordance with the
direction of the last state legislature.
An amusing feature of the case
was the fact that on July 25 last the
same company, represented by Bailey
& Voorhees,, OF Sioux Falls, appear
ed before Judge Willard asking re-
lief from a tax assessablc property
in the state did not exceed $4,000
in value, consisting of horses trucks
and other paraphernalia and that
aside from these articles its true
value did not exceed $4,000.
Judge Willard ruled in the present
case that this property might, there

cordance with the ~precedcnts which
have named I per cent as a fair re-
turn the express company would
have to earn only $42O a year in all
