Tuesday night, Magistrate Campbell
yesterday sent Joseph Albers to the
workhouse for 30 days.
Albers was the first of the l9l men
arrested to be tried yesterday in the
chief magistrates court in Mulberry
street He was found guilty of rioting
and disorderly conduct on the testimony
of the policemen who made the whole
sale arrests. Only 10 of the prisoners
were taken to court for trial yester-
day.
The threatening letter, which purport-
ed to come from friends of the Church
raiders" was replete with blasphemy
and unprintable epithets for Magistrate
Campbell and all property owners Of
New York.
The sentence was imposed by Magis-
trate Campbell, after Albers' attorney
had declared no testimony had been CIV
en- which proved the defendant had in
any way been guilty of disorderly con-
duct. He commended his client had tried
to get out of st. Alphonsus' church,
where the wholesale arrests were made
Wednesday night, but had been foreibly
detained.

A movement is on foot to form an

The league would include the four best

FIND TOMB
OF OSIRIS
An Important Discovery Is
Now Made in
Egypt
HIDDEN SANCTUARY
DISCLOSED AT ABYDOS
Evidently Was Constructed
in the Pyramid
Period

London, March Professor T.. Ma
vile, in a letter published in The Times
yesterday, on excavations OF the Egypt
exploration fund at Abydos, expresses
the belief that they have found what
Greek authors called the tomb of Osiris,
where the head of the god is supposed
to be preserved The excavations be-
gan at the door which Professor Petrie
discovered two years ago. The doorway,
Professor Naville thinks, was the en-
trance to passage leading to a subter-
ranean chapel, under the temple of Seti
/. "NVe should have never expected
what we found" he continued. BE
tween the doorway and the temple is
a complete sanctuary, evidently of the
time of the pyramids, very much ruined
but built with huge materials. 1t is
rectangular. The enclosure wall is IL
feet thick and consists of two differ
ent castings, the outer one of rough lime
stone and the inner one of large blocks
of hard red sandstone. The length of
the inside is 80 metres. The enclosed
space is divided into three naves, paral-
lei to the long side. The division is
made by huge pillars of Assuan gran
ite."
The middle nave, Professor Nayille
says, led to the end of the wall, and
here was found small door closed by
blocks of stone. when we had removed
them" Professor Nayille says, "we crept
into a large hall, very similar to that
at the entrance, having the same width
as the temple, 20 metres, and length
of about five metres. Its slanting roof
was made of large blocks. OF this half
was in perfect state of preservation.
On one side and on part of the ceiling
are engraved or painted funeral scenes
of the time of Seti |, 1t is quite en-
PITY. What shows that it was the burial
place of Osiris are the texts on the wall,
the end of the book which may be called
the Book of the Underworld 1t is
not impossible that we may still find
some concealed chamber or some hidden
passage leading to well, though this
is not very probable"

RULING ON POTATO RATES.
Shipper May Choose Lower Charge and
Insure His Own Freight.

Washington, March 7.--Conditions and
regulations under which potatoes are
shipped during the winter months have
been for years subject of contest be-
tween shippers and railroads. The crux
of the question was the cost Of such
reasonable precautions as to prevent loss
through the freezing of the potatoes in
transit. The interstate commerce com
mission held yesterday that tariff regu-
lations published by the railroads are
"fair and reasonable" which allow "the
shipper choice between shipping his
traffic at a lower rate under a special
contract by which he becomes his own
insurer against weather loss and damage
or Of making his shipments under terms
imposing the full responsibility upon
the carrier" at higher rate.

WAR TO THE DEATH.
Between Organized Baseball and Federal
League.

New York, March behind the cloak
of the welcome extended yesterday to
the returned world touring Giants and
White Sox, more serious matters having
to do with plans for war against the
new Federal league occupied the atten-
ton of men high in the councils of or
ganized baseball.
At the National league meeting final
disposition of the Evers case was ex-
pected during the day The report that
Charles p. Taft, who purchased the hold
ings of Charles w. Murphy in the Chi
cago Cubs, would arrive during the day
to treat with would-be purchasers, add
ed interest to what action the National
league directors might take with refer
ence to the future ownership of the Chi
cago club. The vacancy on the director
ship caused by the retirement of Murphy
was another matter for consideration.
An informal meeting of the national
commission was said to be one of the
chief features of the day. The members
of the commission, it is said, have taken
over the management of the fight against
Federal league invasion and yesterday
the supreme court of organized baseball
was expected to hold conferences with
the minor league organizations here to
join in the welcome TO the returning
tourists.

Lannin Bids High to Keep Him From
Feds.

New York, March 7.--Organized base
ball scored heavily in the struggle with
the Federal league for the services of
players who completed their round the
world tour yesterday. The Boston
Americans signed Iris Speaker for two
years, the Detroit Americans closed with
Sam Crawford and the st. Louis Ameri-
cans kept Leverenz.
Although the Federal league magnates
We're in conference with all the players
they were unable to secure their serv-
ices. The best they could do with Mike
Doolan of Philadelphia and Dick Egan
of Brooklyn was to obtain their promise
to consider offers made. The climax of
the day came when President Lannin of
the Boston Americans announced he had
a two-years signed contract from Iris
Speaker at salary larger than was
heretofore paid any player in the ranks.
In addition he gave Speaker a net bonus
for signing. 1t is reported his salary is
to be $4,000 per year. After a lengthy
session, National league directors an
nounced the final ettlement of the Eyers
trade was left to President Tener.
