CAMEL BONES
In ALASKA
A PUZZLE

WASHINGTON, D. c., July s.
The discovery of bones of a
camel and the SKULL of an Alaskan
horse in the Yukon region of
Canada by an exploring party has
convinced scientists that in a
comparatively recent time there
was wide Asiatic-Alaskan land
connection by which animals
from Asia migrated to the Ameri-
can continent.
There were no horses nor CAM
els on the western hemisphere at
the time of the discovery of
America, but the finds show, sci
entists say, that at some period
there were camels and horses in
the Yukon region. Before these
finds no traces of fossil animals
had been discovered within 2(
degrees of the new northern limit

lionaire boxer and pal of "Philadel.
phia Jack" OBrien, was here yester-
day preparing for his Bible class,
which Is sort of correspondence
school and has received 1000 men,

Mr.. Biddle preached last evening
In the First Congregational church,
wearing sack suit and russell shoes
which contrasted noticeably with a
sparkling diamond in his scarf as
large as a hazel nut.
Mr.. Biddle says that Christ was
popularity painted and imagined as
an effeminate person. but such was
not the case. He contended that the
Savior was strong and an athlete,
else he could not have undergone the
pain that he did.
He cited the instance when Christ
threw the gamblers from the temple
as an example OF physical ,,rowess.

WILSON TAKES HAND
IN JURY REFORM BILL
FIGHT IN NEW JERSEY

Washington, March President
wilson threw his influence into New
Jersey politics to secure the passage
OF the bill empowering commissions
appointed by the governor rather
than sheriffs to draw juries. He per
sistently advocated this measure be-
fore he resigned as governor, but
since that time an amendment has
been attached to the bill providing
for referendum of the question.
Holding that the object OF the refer
endum Is to delay the issue and ey.
entually kill the reform, Mr.. Wilson
has said he feels that the people al
ready have approved the idea by
electing the Democratic legislative
ticket on a platform pledged to Jury
reform.
While the President himself has
made no statement as to the purpose
OF telegram he sent today to Gov.
ernor Fielder and ]. Warren Davis
Democratic majority leader in the
state senate, limitations from the
