For thousands Of years nations
have risen. lived out their little day
OF triumph and glory and gone into
the silence. Their names today
have become synonyms for lust,
cruelty and idoIstry. as well as fo-
pride and power. Their ancient
opulence is but a dream. their
proudest monuments Of imperial
greatness are vast ruins. desoIate
palaces and broken SCULPTURES:
their grandeur had departed; tae
laws which they imposed on the
wsrld are buried in the dust Of aEeS,
with none to yield them allegiance
their cities, Gnd' pagesntries and
Elories have shrUnken to dust: and
all that made up their power has
been swallowed up by the cavernous
years.
How long is this worId-oId rise
and fall OF nations to continue:
How long will generations Of men be
born, linger awhile. and die? How
long is this strange and curious
game Of births and death to 60 90?
Is an ultimate nation. founded on
justice. never TO be conquered, eter-
nal in its duration, to rule the
earth?
II is with the desire Of deepening
the Interest which doubtless you
have already felt in the fascinating
study Of Bible prophecy as related
TO current problems of world states
mauship that we cordially invite

Read Papers for TWo Years.

Emil Zimmerman, Sc trade re-
porter for the Wal street journal. was
committed TO the Raymond street Jail
in Brooklyn yesterday as a suspected
dangerous enemy alien to await inves-
tigation. He is charged with having
failed to register and with having been
in the barred zone.
Zimmerman was arrested by agents
of the Customs Intelligence Service
and taken to the Enemy Alien Bureau.
where he was examined by Perry NJ.
Armstrong, chief examiner.
He has been employed by the Wal
street journal for a year. For two
years preceding he had an Office at 81
Nassau street. which he used only to

THREE NOW SOUGHT
IN TRUNK MYSTERY
Capt. Carey Intimates He Has
Tangible Clues to Solve
Murder Case.

Abandoning for the present the
theory that a vendetta is involved,
though still continuing their search
for the woman who may have the
key TO the mystery, the police are
now proceeding along the rather pro-
sale line of investigating thoroughly
every one directly associated with
Joseph BALLARD. the victim in the Mott
street trunk murder.
Capt. Carey of the homicide bureau
believes he has obtained n clue by
following this method which may pos
sibly lead TO the discovery of the
slayer. He intimated yesterday that
he has heard of the first tangible thing
pointing anywhere, but declined to say
anything definite as his attempts to
catch the persons involved might be
interfered with by such a course.
Salvatore Giordano, one of six men
employed by Ballard. was questioned
early yesterday morning by the police.
The latter refused to say what bear
ing on the solution of the case this
quiz may have had.
DR.. Otto II. Schultze. medical ex-
emlner, has issued statement re-
ferring to the cause OF Ballaro's death.
1t says:
THE indications are that there was
struggle. in the course of which
mans knees or feet were applied to
Ballaro's body with such force as to
rupture or lacerate the spleen and
liver Then somebody forced a hand
over his mouth causing his asphyXia-
lIon."
A search is being made by the police
tor a man and two women. The man
and one of the women are the couple
that applied az the lodging house in
Cranberry street, Brooklyn, for the
room that had been rented to Ballard
the day before his murder. The other
woman they are seeking is Sara Banta,
whose name appeared In a pencilled
scrawl on a Stat of the murder trunk.

CITY BEATEN IN LONG
CONDUIT LITIGATION
Empire Company indicated
of Charges of Fraud.

The report Of Judge z. Harry
Lacombe, Adrian II. Larkin and
George Gordon Battle. who sat as a
board OF referees in the City of New
Yorks suit against the Empire City
yesterday. The defendant owns the
underground conduits which carry tho
telephone and telegraph wires and the
city charged that 1t had been de-
frauded of millions OF dollars through
improper acts and classification and
concealment Of records by the COM
pany.
The referees unanimously decided
that in the whole record, covering a
period OF twenty-four years, there
was no evidence of any fraudulent
act on the part OF the company; that
Its books and accounts were properly
kept and that instead of the company
owing millions to the city It had failed
to earn, UP to January /, 1914, the
full amount It was entitled TO earn
under It's contract for the construction
OF the subways by more than $780,
900.
The litigation arose out Of the con-
tract entered into between the Sub
way Company and the city in 1891,
providing for the building of the sub
ways. One provision was that the
company should be entitled to earn
each year 10 per cent. upon its cash
capital invested in construction and
that all over 10 per cent. was TO be
paid to the city.
The action was begun in 1903.
The city set forth that the COM
pany actually had earned much more
than 10 per cent, and was improperly
Withholding payments from the city.
The city also demanded that the COM
pany's conduits be forfeited for breach
OF contract. The referees decided
against the city on all these points.

olson Young Of the Supreme Court in

story which he said Fairbanks told
him at Hollywood. Cal. concerning
