PAPYRUS FROM OLD
 DAYS IS UNCOVERED
Is Believed to Date From Year
 300 A. D.

London, Nov. i3. - A crumpled leaf of papyrus, believed to date from about 300 A. D. upon which is written moro than 90 verses of the 26th chapter of the Gospel of Mat thew, was discovered recently by II. D. Bell, an expert of the British museum, while sorting a collection of papyrus consisting of 4S7 items destined for the library of the uni- vetsity of Michigan. The text Is sub stantially complete except at the bot tom of the leaf where a corner had been torn off, so that the ends of four lines and the lowest line on the right hand page are gone, and also the beginning of the four lines at the bottom Of the page on the op- posite page.
 The passage commences with the words thus translated in the King James version, verse 10: "(As) Jesus had appointed them, and they made ready for the passover" The in- complete line at the end contains the words from verse 52, Shall perish with the sword" The passage is of interest to all denbminations because of its account of the last supper and the betrayal.
 The text Is carefully written. Per- haps the most striking difference from the King James versions in

Reid of New York, who was found fatally injured while in an automobile driven by Miss Marjorie Schneider" MT. Church said, and November l, was undecided. he said today, when q warrant would be served on Miss Schneider, charging her with driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor.
 "A warrant will be served for Miss Scheider," MT. Church said, and after consultation with her counsel l will arrange for her appearance in the North Haven court at some time convenient for all parties concern ed" Mir. Church added that other legal business had demanded his at- tention and delayed issuance of the warrant.
 Grand Juror Church said that no further action with reference to Rogers death was now contemplat- ed by the North Haven authorities. All the evidence he had obtained bearing on the case had been turned over to County States Attorney All ing, he said.
 The only evidence known 10 have been given to the states attorney was the discovery by a boy on North Haven highway where Rogers was found fatally injured of blood stained napkin and towel. It is learned that the county authorities attach little importance to this dis covsry. States Attorney Alling re- fuses to add anything 10 the recent from his office that the finding of County Coroner Eli Mix that no criminal responsibility or omission attached to the death of Rogers, was based on "indisputable facts"
 The coroner in his finding declared his belief that Rogers was injured when his head struck a telephone pole as he leaned out of the car driven by Miss Schneider in an at tempt to observe the highway, ob- scured by a dense fob. Both were more or less under the influence of liquor partaken at the Wallingford Inn, where they had dined after the the Yale-Army football game, the coroner found.
