Apparently the scientists cannot be

After having upset about everything

covered a way of taking the pucker
out Of the persimmon. although why
they should have thought this neces-
sary no one seems to know. The sci

one of it's sources Of Joy. There are
few more mirth-provoking things In
the world than watching the uniniti-
ated attempting to eat a green persim-
mon. The quicker of the persimmon
comes from fannie acid and we fail to
see what the scientists are going to
accomplish by removing tannin from
the persimmon. One might as well eat
q cucumber and be done with 1t. The
danger In the discovery is the harm
1t may do to the persimmon In the
later stage of its development How
do the scientists know that nature did
not put the fannie acid into the per-
simmon as one of the elements that.

OUTSIDE FORCE
BLEW UP MAINE.
vreeIand Board Reports Re.
suit Of Investigation.
NINE EXPLODED MAGAZINE.
Verdict OF the Naval Experts unan.
imcus-Flndings OF the Sampson
Board Confirmed In General-A
Low Form OF Explosive Used.

Washington. ~ That the primary
cause of the destruction of the United
States battleship Maine in Havana
harbor was the explosion of a sub
marine mine or some similar contriv-
ance is the verdict of the vreeland
board of United States naval experts,
who have examined the exposed
wreck.
The board is unanimously of the
opinion that an explosion external to
the ship caused the explosion of the
vessels magazines. This conclusion
was reached after two weeks spent in
Havana examining the wreck. Their
report confirms in general the findings
of the Sampson board, which investi-
gated the disaster in 1898. The Vree.
land board were able to examine every
detail of the wreck for the first time
exposed to view by the dewatering of
the cofferdam
Findings OF Board.
For the present Secretary Meyer
limited official statements regarding
the Vreeland report to the following
brief summary:
THE board finds that the injuries to
the bottom of the Maine were caused
by the explosion of charge Of low
form of explosive exterior to the ship
between frames % and 81, strake B,
port side. This resulted in igniting
and exploding the contents of the six
inch reserve magazine, the contents
including large quantity of black
powder. The more or less complete
explosion Of the contents of the re-
naming forward magazine followed.
The magazine explosions resulted in
the destruction of the vessel"
The most striking difference be-
tween the finding of the Vreeland
board and that of the Sampson board,
as far as comparison of the two is pos
sible, with only the brief summary
made public, is in regard to the sup
posed position of the mine. The
Sampson board fixed the position of
the mine at about frame 10. The
Vreeland board puts it between frames
% and 81, position very considerably
forward Of that estimated by the
Sampson board. Both boards agreed
in the opinion that the mine exploded
on the port side.
What Models Show.
The board brought back with them
models showing the Maine as con-
structed and her present condition.
The models disclose the surprising
accuracy of the findings of the Samp-
son Board regarding the displaced
portions of the Maine. These findings
were based on the reports Of divers
whose statements were interpreted by,
officers familiar with the construction
Of the Maine.
A curious feature of the uncoyering
Of the Maine is the fact that no trace
of the forward turret has been found.
1t is generally supposed that, detached
by the force of the explosion, the tur-
ret has buried itself in the soft mud
of the harbor.

CLERGYMAN HELD
FOR SIX DEATHS
Leader Of Holy Ghost and Us
Yacht Cruise Found Guilty.
USED PRAYERS TO SAIL BOAT
Rev. Frank W.. Sanford, Master Of
the Yacht coronet, That Set Out
From Portland, Me-, With 40
of Strange Sect for Africa.

Portland, Me.-"Ages ago God split
walls to set his Apostles free. If l
ask Him He will do the same Tor me
now"
This statement was made by Rev.
Frank w. Sanford, Elijah H., leader
of the Shiloh Holy Ghost and Us So
ciety, as he was led into the jail to
await sentence following his convic-
ton on charges of manslaughter. Five
minutes after Sanford entered the
cell he furnished $4,000 bail and went
direct to Shiloh.
Sanford faces possible sentence
of fines aggregating 100000, or inn
prisonment for so years, or both, hav-
ing been found guilty by jury that
deliberated but 10 minutes, before
Judge Clarence Hale, of being respon-
sible for the death of six members
of the crew of his Holy Ghosters yacht
Coronet from starvation and scurvy.
Sanford will be sentenced on Deem
Der IS.
He says, and his followers believe
him, that if sent to prison the walls
of his cell will be rent by the Lord
and he will again be free to lead his
scores of fervent followers in their
battles against wickedness and vice.
Sandford's trial was short But it
was the most remarkable criminal case
in the history of the State of Maine.
Less than year ago he boarded the
yacht Coronet with party of those
of his Shiloh flock who were nearest
to God"
God commanded me to visit far
off shores and show the benighted in
Eabitants the light" exclaimed Sand
ford at his trial. He refused to OBJ
ject to jurors and he refused to ques-
tion witnesses when they told how
they had begged him to seek port
when, one after another, his crew fell
i'll from insufficient TODD and exhaust
ion. Only when three of his sailor
followers died, did Sanford finally
put into port; Then state officials
went aboard and took three other sail
ors off. They died the next day of
scurvy and starvation. 1t marked the
end of cruise which got as far as
the African coast, where the bark
Kingdom, another of Sandford's ships,
went down.

advocate of which was Carl Ferdinand
Wilhelm Walther. D. D., whose Tooth

days by special services in thousands
Of churches of the Lutheran faith in
the United States and Canada and all
parts of the world.
Prof. Walther, the most conspicu-
Gus figure in the history of American
Luthevanism, was born October IS,
1911, in Saxony, Germany. In the
gymnasium of Schneeberg he received
thorough classical education and
then pursued the studies of theology
Of Leipzig After graduating from
that institution with high honors he
ministered for brief period to state
church in his native land. However,
his strict adherence to Gods word
and Luther's doctrine pure" and his
outspoken frankness soon brought him
in conflict with the powers that were
and he resolved to seek in free Amer
lea that full liberty of conscience
which was denied him in the land OF
his birth. He landed on our shores
in the year 1888, in company with
several brother ministers and small
band of emigrants who, like the PHI
grim Fathers, sought haven of ref
uge and liberty on Americas free
soil.
After short stay in Perry county.

And he lived to see in part tn
