exploration.

fessor Starr believes he has found the
masterpiece Of an ancient fully devel-
oped Korean art, the prototype of the
famous bronze Japanese Buddhas Of
sculpture and architecture analogous
to that of Yucatan and Central Amer
lea.
The similarity of the works of art
found in the temple with the Buddha
to the monuments Of Central America
and Mexico is declared by Professor
Starr to be striking. He will make
careful comparison of the data he has
collected in the widely remote places,
and he believes his evidence will be
the strongest yet produced to prove
that Buddhism formerly existed on
the American continent.
The Chicago scientist asserted that
the examination of the idol was one
of the most impressive of his expert
ences in the Orient. The Buddha is
ten feet in height, and sits in a semi
subterranean temple twenty feet In
diameter, surrounded by fifteen slabs
CT stone, each bearing a sculptured
figure. The temple crowns a high hill
fifteen miles from Kyong Ju, the an

DR.. Cans goes first to Paris, and
from there to Munich, where he is to
be decorated by the prince regent. He
received a cablegram to that effect
the other day. From Munich he goes
to Berlin, where his airship is, and in
the latter part of this month he goes
to Teneriffe for the final preparations.
King Alfonso has placed a cliff-pro-
tected beach on Teneriffe, largest OF

be one of trouble" according to Lee
J. Spangler. who styles himself "the

gained reputation because Of the full.

Spangler's forecast Is a gloomy one
since he says there will be much sui.
fering throughout the land. The strug.
gle between capital and labor, accord
ing to Spangler. will become keener
than ever before. and there will be a
business depression, the worst in
many years. He says the people will
be punished for their wickedness and
there will be much distress in the big
cities.
The prophet says that there will
be trouble throughout the world. Ma.
lions will be involved in war. and
there Will be much bloodshed.
OF one thing Spangler seems certain.
and that Is that the world will not
come to an end this year. He says
that all can feel safe from the coming

"Japan's problem is to make the
Koreans realize that their interests
are those Of Japan" said Professor
Starr. The Japanese administration
Is doing well, but the Korean feeling
Is one Of sullen dissatisfaction. The
Koreans have better government
and better facilities Of every sort than
ever before, but the situation still is
most difficult.
THE Japanese and Koreans are
more closely related than the Koreans
and Chinese, yet geographically and
culturally the Koreans have been pro-
foundly affected by the Chinese.
Korea was a center of illumination
1000 years ago. The Buddha In the
temple near Kyong Jul is a part Of this
beautiful flower of development where

Jointly for Crime.

San Francisco, Cal-Charged with

court of California. recently. Rech
was a willing witness and told the
court that he and his wife had talked
about putting away" their child thou.
sands Of times that they might have
more money to send to the old folks
in Italy.
In his statement Rech declared he
took the baby back of the barn at his
home, where he had dug a hole and,
placing the babe in a sitting posture.
filled the hole with earth. The death
wounds found on the babes head were
inflicted, Rech said, by his shovel when
he tamped down the dirt.
The proceedings in court were not
lengthy. After Rech's statement had
been made 1t was read over to him by
the interpreter and he readily signed
1t. AS he affixed his name to the
document, which the authorities de-
clare Is virtually his death warrant,
Rech showed the first sign of emotion
since his arrest. Large tears trickled
down his cheeks and he sat silently
for a few moments holding his head
In his hands.
