NEW ENGLAND RICH IN
 OLD ENGLISH BIBLES

BOSTON, March 30.-Bibles that date back three hundred years are not uncommon in New England, where families have treasured the volumes for many generations. One of these bibles was printed in Eng land in 1899 by "the deputies of Christopher Barker, printer to the Queens Most Excellent Majesty" It is owned by Clarence Cheney, of Norwood, and has been in his fam fly for generations.
 Another bible owned by Fred H. Harris, of Norfolk Downs, and pub lished in London by Robert Barker, printer to the Kings Most Excellent Majesty" in 1914, has been in the Harris family since 1630. Mrs. P. B. Laskey, of Marblehead, has bible 292 years old, and Samuel J. Wilde, of Boston, has a copy of the Scrip lures printed in Cambridge, England, in 1648.

kANTJSHNA OLD TIMER ENDS
 LIFE TO ESCAPE FREEZING

Albert Maurice, pioneer resident of Alaska and an old timer of the Kantishna district, took his life re- gently in that district to escape death by freezing His body was found later by a chance visitor and, after investigation by Commissioner Ed Brooker, was sent to Nenana for burial, with a request that the Pi- oneers officiate at the funeral ser vice. In accordance with this request the funeral was held under the aus pices of the Nenana Igloo of Pio- neers. The deceased was charter member of tho Fairbanks Igloo but was many years in arrears in his dues at the time of his death.
 According to the information re- ceived by President R. c. Morriss, of Nenana Igloo. the old-timer had a severe attack of rheumatism and fi- nally became bed-ridden. Realizing that he would freeze to death in his lonely cabin unless help arrived he wrote a note explaining his condition and plans and then tied string to the trigger of his gun and shot him self through the heart. When the body was found there was a plenti- full supply of wood close to the door of the cabin, indicating that Maurice was too badly crippled to get to it to keep his fire going.

FIXED DATE FOR EASTER
 ADVOCATED IN ENGLAND

LONDON, March 30.-An effort is being made bya number of English men led by Lord Desborough to ob- tain a general agreement on the question of a fixed date for Easter
 Lord Desborough recently stated that a motion to this effect will be offered at the next meeting of the International Chamber of Commerce on the ground that the variance of Easter is inconvenient not only to business people, but also to the legal profession and to schools and universities. He will leave next month for Rome to ask the Pope to consider the matter.
 It is understood that the heads of the Church of England have already been approached on the subject, but answered that they had not the power to change the present system.
 It has been suggested that the second Sunday in April should be fixed as the immovable date.

FEEDERS FOR RAILWAY IS
 NEW POLICY

There will be no immediate change in the personnel of the Alaskan Engl- neering commission, and the policy Of Colonel James Gordon Steese, who succeeds Colonel Frederick Mears as chairman of the commission, will be the labor to make the railroad even- tually self-sustaining. epitomizes an announcement issued by the railway head.
 Colonel Steese emphasized the fact that the succession to Colonel Mears who is called to other big fields Of action, carries with it no change in the status of the railroad which re- mains in the Interior Department, to which Colonel Steese has been loaned bv the War Department in the same ratio as that of Colonel Mears.
 Present and Future Policy
 Asked as to the policy to be adopt ed. Colonel Steese said: Business as usual. As to the matter of future policy, speeding up of the completion of highway feeders to the railroad Will have precedence. I wish to make the railroad self-sustaining. As to the out look in this direction, the next two years will be epochal in the history Of development and prosperity for Alas ka and in connection with the rail- road. Congress has shown by it's lib- erality that it is taking interest in Alaska and I look for greater liberal ity and results when the congressman learn more about the territory
 Activities of Colonel Mears
 Colonel Mears will remain in An chorage for an indefinite period prlor to May 1, during which the process or transferrence of details will proceed. There are many of these details to be considered, said Colonel Steese, and as soon as completed Colonel Mears is expected to be detailed on other momentous Government projects such as large irrigation engineering enter prises launched by the Government.
 First Order Issued
 The first order issued by Colonel Steese is as follows:
 Anchorage, Alaska, March 26, '23.
 GENERAL CIRCULAR NO. 104 To All Concerned:

He has entered upon duty accordingly.
 Rv the same order, MT. John C. COL wals is appointed vice-chairman or the Alaskan Engineering Commlsslon' reporting to the chairman and chief engineer.

ANSWERS CHARGES
Continued from second page

just in order to give us good chance
to tell how much they have been Civ.
ing.
Colored People and Jews.
And lie No. 3, is about the nastiest
of all. Why on earth should a COL
ored newspaper ever strike an atti-
tude of hostility toward Jews?> How
can the colored man scorn the CO.
operation of the Jew? The only rea-
son why a goodly number of leaders
of the Jewish race can understand
the colored mans struggle, is that
experience, the only teacher, has
made them know what race prejudice
is. And one of the most creditable
things in human nature is, that some
Jews, wealthy and independent, have
given the colored American a lift by
their services and their money
through the N. A. A. C. P.
About the only thing that saves us
from disastrous effects of a lying
page like that in the Independent"
is, that most of these white people
have worked so long and so init
mately with colored men and women,
that they now know, that although
some colored folk, like some white
folk, are venal, cheap-spirited, short
visioned and untruth; still there are
other kinds of colored people. That
is why the petty insult cannot shake
their faith and loyalty nor break their
cooperation.
Colored People In Control.
1t must be said, too, not as state
ment of policy nor as thing val
liable in itself, but merely as a fact in
contradiction of the falsehood of the
"Independent"- colOred element,
not the white, controls the destiny of
the N. A. A. C. p. The truth of the
matter is, there are not nearly
enough white people in it, and it is
always a problem how to get more of
them more interested. So far, only
the most liberal-minded whites can
endorse the Associations program,
and we know that no Grace question"
can ever be settled by one race alone.
All the races concerned in any inter-
racial matter must get together in
some agreement before an abiding
settlement can be reached.
But meanwhile, the N. A. A. c. P.
and the just cause of the colored
American. will go forward, with or
without "The Atlanta Independent"
