LONG-MISSING VERSES
OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
Disclosure Made by Study of Manu-
scripts Found in Egypt Six
Years Ago.

LONDON. May 13.-Some long missing
verses of the New Testament are included
in the manuscripts of the gospels dis
covered in Egypt six years ago and pur-
chased by Charles L. Freer of Detroit
Mich. according to a study made of the
Freer manuscript by the Times. A fac
simile of the manuscripts has been pre-
scented to the British Museum by the
University of Michigan. to which Mr.
Freer assigned the task of publication,
and, according to the Times. there have
been found in the gospel of st. Mark sew
eral verses which occur in no other
known manuscript of the New Tesla
ment. although they We're known to ST.
Jerome. who quotes part of them.
Quotation From Text.
In the Freer manuscript after the pas
sage in which it is said that Jesus up
braided His disciples for their unbelief,
the text continues as follows:
And they excused themselves. saying
that this age of lawlessness and unbe-
lief is under Satan. who through the
agency of unclean spirits suffers not the
true power of God to be unprecedented.
For the cause, they said unto Christ,
reveal now at once Thy righteousness.
And Christ said unto them. the limit
OF the years of the powers of Satan is
mot fulfilled. but 1t draweth near. cine
text here and elsewhere is corrupt)
For the sake of those that have sinned
was l given up unto death. that they
may return unto the truth and sin no
more, but may inherit the spiritual and
incorruptibe glory of righteousness in
heaven.
large number of variations in other
portions of the New Testament are also
pointed out by the Times in the Freer
manuscripts.

MENOF THE Cities
BEST FOR DISTRICT
New York Members Sugges-
ton for House Committee
on Local Affairs.
BETTER ABLE TO ADJUST
MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS
Large Number of District Measures
Now Awaiting the Attention
Of Congress.

That the District committee of the
House should be composed of men from
cities. with experience in the affairs and
problems OF municipal government. is the
idea advanced by Representative c. B.
Smith of Buffalo. y. Y.
1T is easy to figure exactly what /
mean.' said Mr. Smith. The legislation
required for a large city like Washington
has character of it's own. 1t would be
easier for a man from city to grasp
die sitution confronted in bill to create
a public service commission for instance.
than for a man from rural district,
where the problems are entirely different,
Il do not intend to cast any reflection
on any man on the committee. however.
as my ideas are not personal in the
slightest degree.
Although Mr.. Smiths views do not meet
the approval of many other members of
Congress. the same idea is frequently eX-
pressed at the Capitol AS it happens.
however, many members of the District
committee in the last Congress were resi-
dents of large cities

Interest in Coming Selections.

Considerable interest is being shown in
Washington as to the appointments for the
coming District committee. 1t is probable
who have served on it before. AS pre-
viously announced in The Star. the APP
pontment of Representative Johnson as
chairman is understood to be determined
upon.
Counting up the membership of the
House District committee of last year
there are six vacancies shown These are
Stack of Illinois. Redfield of New York,
Hart of New Jersey on the democratic
side. and Sulloway of New Hampshire.
De Forest of New York republicans, and
Berger of Wisconsin, the only socialist
in Congress at the last session. OF these
the more active members were Repre-
sentative Redfeld and Representative
Berger. Their best remembered work on
the committee is probably contained in
investigation. although Representative
Redfield's single-handed investigation in
to the business affairs of the District
government has been productive of sew
eral changes in bushes methods.
OF the more active workers remaining
from the committee Of last year. nine
men are from cities. These are Repre-
sentative Rothermel of Reading. Pa. j;
Hanil. Jersey City: O'Shaughnessy.
Providence, r. L.; Henry George. New
York city; KONG, Baltimore: Kahn. San
Francisco: Cary. Milwaukee: Dyer. St
Louis. and Prouty, Des Moines, Iowa.
These members. if they are appointed
session, will find that already the COM
mittee has before it bills which require
some knowledge of municipal affairs.

No Right to Be Affronted.

The question is not whether the Japanese
are affronted or will be affronted by any
thing that California has done or will do.
but rather whether the Japanese have
any right to be affronted. California is
not proposing to do to the Japanese any
thing beyond or even as much as. the
Japanese do to Americans She is not
proposing any law that goes one whit
hey nd the laws now in force in Wash

CLAIMS It A PROBLEM
NOT UNDERSTOOD EAST
Native Californian Submits
Views on Anti-AIien Land
Law Proposition.
10 the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Will YOU permit me. native Cali
fornian to occupy some space in your
valuable paper to give the views of Cali
fornia upon this anti-alien land Law prop
osition?
In the first place We claim it IS a prob
lem the east does not understand. and
which fasteners cannot understand I'M
less they live in California and see for
themselves. But l venture to say that
no intelligent. home loving easterner could
study the subject properly in California
for one year and not be as strenuous
thereon as is any native Californian.
California is not proposing in her anti
alien land law to do anything that she
has not right to do under the treaty
with Japan That conceded by the
Secretary of State. Mr.. Bryan. while
here. The point he made was not that
California had not a right to do what
she is about to do but that it would be
very impolitc for her to do it: that it
would be looked upon as an affront to the
Japanese people: and he begged the legis-
lature to postpone the matter for two
years to allow the government at Wash
ington automatically to accomplish. with
the acquiescence of the Japanese gov
eminent. that which California has de-
termined to do for herself.
One reason why California is determined
upon this matter is that she thinks she
has procrastinated long enough. She was
turned from her purpose at the behest OF
the national government some years ago
The government at Washington wants her
TO turn from her purpose now on a
promise that the President and the Sec
rotary of State will do what they can to
get the Japanese government to acquieSce
in some friendly arrangement that will
suit California: but California does not
believe that such friendly arrangeme mt
will amount to anything and she has
grown very tired of being put off and put
off and put off from doing that which 1t
has been conceded she has a right to do

 NEW YORK, Dec, l5.--Whcn the steamship Cristobal sailed out of tn. harbor today she carried to Colon the first of the big guns which will b.. mounted on the defenses of the Pana- : ma canal. The battery consists of two twelve inch steel jacketed guns of the type built by the government for coast, defense. They will he mounted on disappearing carriages in emplace- ments already prepared for them by the army engineers.
 These guns, which were built by the government. will be followed by others of the same type and by a number of mortars which will be mounted in blocks of four and these in turn will be combined into larger blocks of sixteen mortars each. These little engines of war. which drop deadly shells onto the decks of the enemies ships will be entirely hidden from sight and practically out of range of the guns of an attacking fleet Even the gunners serving these mor- tars will not sec the target at which they fire. The guns are sighted by q man stationed in a tower some dis tance from the battery and the guns are trained so as to drop their shells into squares supposedly outlined on the water. That is the chart is di- vided into squares and the gunners are able to so train their mortars that d flight of sixteen shells can be dropped into one of these fictitious squares sim- ply by following the directions of the
