of the Newark Methodist Episcopal
Conference, in Newark, N. j., yester
day, arose and cheered when the Rev.
Herbert Rhinesmith, of Haverstraw,
N. Y, was acquitted on charges involv-
ing his character. 1t is said that his
accuser, the Rev. William z. Palmer,
may face counter charges of malicious
persecution.
The adjournment of the conference
was held up awaiting the findings of
the committee investigating the charges
against Mr. Rhinesmith. Previous in
vestigating committees had found that
rumors concerning Rhinesmiths char
acter were not sustained Considerable
tinterest had been evidenced by those
attending the conference in the action

Tenants File Protests
Against Rent Raises
Mayors Board to Act on Com.
plants; Majority of Increases
Range From 33 to so p. C..

The report that landlords through
out the city were going to demand ex-
orbitant increases in rents from ten
ants on May / next was confirmed yes
terday by Junius Pendleton Wilson,
chief counsel to the Mayors Commit
tee on Rent Profiteering.
owe are receiving large number of
complaints from tenants from. every
part of the city," he said. "The ma
jority of these show that increases
ranging from 33 to so per cent are
being demanded by the landlords. In
80 per cent and 100 per cent increases.
"Now that the rent laws have been
declared constitutional by the Supreme
Court of the United States, the COM
mittee is going to try to bring land
lords and tenants together for the pur-
pose of reaching an amicable settle
ment of disputes in each Of these cases.
There will be no sentiment in these
conferences. Everything will depend
upon the figures submitted by the land
lord. after they have been verified. If
the facts warrant it, the tenant will
be urged to pay sufficient increase as
may be needed to meet carrying
charges, interest on the equity and a
small percentage for depreciation.
owe also will take into account the
expense Of necessary repairs and deco
rating. Any attempt at evasion, how
ever, will be met. This has chiefly
taken the form of transferring the
equity on paper and by manipulation
making it appear the landlord has a
greater equity in the property than
he really has. BY doing this some
landlords have sought to benefit from
the 10 per cent of the equity we have
been allowing"

Roger Bacon's Cipher, Showing
He Had Telescope, Is Explained
Scientists Assert 18th Century Monk and Philosopher
Also Was Acquainted With Microscope; Tell
of Facts Learned by DECIDING Manuscript

PHILADELPHIA, April 2o.--The first
public explanation of the key dscov-
cred to the cipher code used by Roger
Bacon, the thirteenth century philoso-
pher-monk, which has revealed that
Bacon knew of the telescope, micro
scope and scientific facts hitherto sup
posed to have been unknown until CEN
turies after his death, was made here
tonight before the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons.
Addresses were made by Wilfrid M.
Voynich, of London and New York,
owner Of the Roger Bacon manuscript
in which the key to the code was
found; Professor Romaine Newbold, of
the University of PePnnsylvana, who
is working on the cipher, and Professor
c. f. McClurg, also of the University of
Pennsylvania, who is assisting Pro-
fessor Newbold
/ AT present it is only possible to con-
lecture the extent and Importance
of the discoveries, said Professor New
bold, for the art of reading the cipher
is yet in it's earliest stages and it is
not certain that the whole manuscript
can be read, but study of the draw
ings alone proves their Importance.
= "The manuscript falls in four di-
visions" Professor Newbold continued,
dealing respectively with plants, the
heavenly bodies, the generation of ami
NAL life and the preparation of drugs.
The common link connecting all four
probably is Bacon's interest in the pro-
longation of human life. Plants are
discussed because of their medicinal
properties; the stars because they de-
termine a mans character at his birth
and influence him throughout life; {;
cmbryology because of the bearing
upon later life of all factors influence
ing conception, and plarmacology be-
cause drugs are essential to the cure
of disease.
"The evidence of certain discoveries
is found in the drawings of the second
and third sections.
Use of Telescope Proven
"a drawing in the second section,
the late Professor Eric Doolittle as
serted, was drawing of a nebula, and
he declared the man who drew it must
have had a telescope, as he correctly
depicted features invisible to the naked
eye. The legend attached to othis pic
ture says the object was seen in con-
cave mirror, and gives its location in
the sky. The location is that of the
great nebula Andromeda.
"This is the first record of the use
of the telescope.
"The embry illogical section contains
New-York tribune., 1921-04-21

thirty-o one drawings. AS a rule they
are symbolic. for Bacon was unwilling
to draw objects recognizable by the
casual observer.
"But there are drawings which so
accurately portray the actual appear
ficult to resist the Inference that Bacon
had seen them with his microscope. 1t
is possible that the deciphcrment Of the
text may reveal unsupported meanings
in the pictures. but at present the in
depreciation l have put upon them
seems obvious. Such are the sperma
tozoa, the body cells and the semi
ferrous tubes, the ova with their nuclei
distinctly Indicated
"Ihe spermatozoa were not again
seen after Bacon until they were re-
discovered by .Hamm and Lceuwen-
hoek. 1t seems impossible to doubt
that Bacon was the first to discover
these important structures.
THE symbolic significance of the
drawings Is as yet imperfectly under
stood. 1t relates in large part to Ba-
cons belief that the soul lived in the
stars before birth and returned to the
stars after death.
Diagnosed Reforms IN Education
Bacon possessed an intuitive grasp
Of the principles of philology and Of
the textual criticism, and diganosed
needed reforms in education He told
of the necessity of endowing research
work, forecast the development of
medicine in the direction of hygiene
and preventive medicine and of the
application of chemistry to physiology,
agriculture and industry.
1.-The drawings which company the
Voynich manuscript prove that the
author possessed both the telescope
and microscope or lenses of consider
able power
"That Bacon was the author Of the
manuscript possessed by Mr.. Voynich
Is proved by the fact his name is writ
ten in cipher on the last page. The key
to the cipher is also written on the
last page, partly in Roman and partly
in cipher characters"
Mr.. Voynich told of his researches
which led to the discovery of the manu-
script, saying he was compelled to read
the biographies Of several hundred
persons to find one which shed anv
light upon it. This concerned John
Dee, who, Shakespeare said, chad vol
umes he priced more than his duke
DOM" Dee, it appears, came into pos
session of the manuscript now owned
by Mr.. Voynich
Mr.. Voynich pointed out that among
the persons who were Influenced by
Roger Bacon through the medium of
John Dee was the great English philos-
opher, Sir Francis Bacon, who is be-
lieved by some persons to have been
the author of works attributed oener
ally to Shakespeare

Held as Owner of Trunk
And 100000 in Drugs
Baggage Check Holder, How
ever, Says He Was Arranging
TRANSPORTATION for Woman

Detectives seized trunk said to con-
tain 100000 worth of gum opium at
the Grand Central Terminal yesterday
and arrested NJ. H. Gordon, alleged
owner of the trunk, on a charge of pos
sessing narcotics illegally.
The trunk was in the care of the
Westcott Express Company and Gordon
and a woman are said to have appeared
there Tuesday with a ticket for Detroit
and asked that the trunk be shipped
there. AS the police had informed the
company employees of their suspicious
concerning the trunk, the couple were
asked to identify it and, finally, to
open it.
They left the place, ostensibly to get
the key, and there was no further in
quiry concerning the trunk until Cor
don appeared yesterday. Although he
is said to have claimed the trunk Tues
day, he told the police that it was not
his, but the woman's, and that she also
was the owner of memorandum book

T have never seen better outlook for big mesquite bean crop" he continued. The trees are loaded with blossoms Cattle show vast improvement since the budding of the mesquite leaves. which they eat with relish during the first six weeks of their growth. After this time the leaves become bitter and are not palatable to stock. The honey from the mesquite blossoms is of an exceptionally fine grade. and any one having bees in a mesquite country just now should reap a rich harvest" !"

RELIGIOUS SUBJECTS NOT
 TOLERATED PUBLIC SCHOOL

PIOENIX. May r. - The state board of education has put its foot down on the teaching of religion in the public schools of the state. This is in line with constitutional man date
 The question oi teaching of religion in Arizona school came up in the Da. yidson school district No IS. shor, distance south of Tucson. It developed that teacher in that school. located in thickly populated Mormon sec ton, was. teaching sectarian religious matter to her pupils during the perioi 20 minutes before o'clock. the open ing hour for school.
 Upon the instruction of the county attorney Of Pima county. the teacher refrained from such practice The teaching of this sectarian religious matter was then taken up by a woman resident of the community the work being conducted in another part of the building but at the same hour of the day lt became known later. how ever, that the same teacher again re- yprt ei in inc uraCticp of this religions teaching. When called upon by the county school authorities for an eX- planatiou she is said to have declared that she had taken up teaching reli- zion to the pupils upon instructions from the ecclesiastical authorities"
 Al this state the county education al authorities appealed to the state board of education for ruling The board ruled that such conduct was in viola tion of the state constitution and or dered the board to have the practice of teaching sectarian religion stopped
 The boards ruling. in part. is as follows The State board of educa- ton is in sympathy with the wide use Of the school plant. but urges a tact iui consideration of the rights of each family in the school district.
