FIND FAMED WARRIORS BODY
Wor<msn Discover Tomb Of Andres
MorosInI In Venetian Church
Mummy Also Found.

Venice.-It always pays to scrape
the walls of the churches and palaces
of Italy, for almost invariably under
the embarrassing outer wash are
found frescoes of more or less value.
This Is Just what happened here In
the Church of SITS John and Paul,
where some frescoed figures of the
evangelists have come to light near
the high altar
What is. perhaps. more interesting
to the ordinary traveller is the dis
covery in the same church at the
other side of the high altar Of Gothic
sarcophagus Of the fourteenth CEN
fury in which a mummif1ed body was
lying on the back with the head turn
ed to the right. One of the feet was
detached from the body. From the
description 1t was learned that these
we're the remains of Andrea Morosini,
a famous warrior and a member of
the family which gave four doges to
Venice The remains have been left
intact and the tomb will be exhibited
to the public as soon as the restora-
ton of the church is completed.

HOPKINS "ROoTERS" COMING.
Big Crowd From Baltimore Will See
Navy Game Tomorrow.

Members of the athletic association
of Johns Hopkins University selected
the Annapolis Short Line to bring
the members of the team and root
ers" and spectators from Baltimore
to Annapolis for the Navy game Sat-
urday.
This will be one of the most import
ant games played in Annapolis this
fall, as far as interest in the State is
concerned, as Hopkins is the only
State team on Navy's schedule.
There will be between three and
six hundred persons in the movement
which has been arranged aid every in
dication is that there will be sufficient
evidence of the presence of Johns
Hopkins On the field. 1t is said that
Hopkins has the strongest team in its
history and as it will be thesfrst game
of the season for the team, interest is
keen as to the outcome.
The Annapolis Short Line special
train will leave Camden Station, Bal
timore, at 1.S0 o'clock and arrive here
at 2.15 o'clock. This train will be
for spectators and rooters, whether or
not connected with the University, the
members of the football squad, coach
es, etc., coming on an earlier special
train.

CROWD SEEKS
New Workers Join Search For
$500 Diamond.
Broadway DenIxens Dig In Excavation
for Valuable Jewel for Which Re-
ward Of 500 Is Offered by woH-
an-Lost During Accident.

New Yofk.-Workmen are diamond
hunting In an excavation at Broadway
and Thirty-ninth street Every hand
full of earth they pass carefully
through Their fingers. Scores did the
same thing and there was an amusing
contest between the police and the
crowd. For there lie q $500 diamond
somewhere in that hole and there Is
a 500 reward for the finding of II.
The big gem belongs 10 Mrs. Ed
ward B. Walker, who owns the Knick'
erbocker line of sightseeing automo-
biles About Q o'clock at night Mrs.
Walkers private car nearly dropped
into the hole. She saved her life. but
one OF her biggest diamonds fell into
the dirt.
AS her chauffeur, Edward Regan,
lodged pedestrian crossing Broad
way. the automobile skidded on the
pavement, Just wet by the shower,
and before he could regain control
the front end OF the car had plunged
over the mouth OF the pit. But for
some pipes and scaffolding. the car
would have dropped ten feet to the
bottom OF the hole. As II was the ma
chine hung suspended in most remark
able fashion over the edge OF the ex-
cavation.
Neither Mrs Walker nor Regan was
hurt, nor was the car much damaged.
But In the shock of the impact Mrs.
Walker had grabbed one of the stays
OF the cover of the machine, and the
diamond had been jerked from Its set
ting.
Shortly after they had started Mrs.
Walker happened to notice her ring.
With a cry, she explained: "Oh, l do
declare. I've lost my solitairel"
BY way of proof she held up her
hand and showed the ring, which had
q yawning excavation big enough to
take fairsized fiIbert Then display
ing another ring with a large stone,
che cried:
Boys. the lost diamond is larger
than this one. II cost me $500 and
I'll give 500 cash right here to him
who'll find 1t for me-"
It was some scramble that followed.
All Broadway wanted to be in on that
diamond ring.
II see itl" yelled a man, diving for
a glittering object under the car.
Get back out of this everybody;
all of you get back" ordered the po-
lice.
Hi, hold your foot there for mo.
ment," cried one of the policemen as
he jumped at piece of glass.
But despite all. Mrs. Walker had to
go home and leave that $500 diamond
in the dirt on Broadway.
