ENTRY IN CRABTREE BIBLE
DECLARED MADE LATELY
Record of Birth of Daughter
Suing for Estate Not Old,
Expert Says.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, July 25.-Augustus G..
Gill, for 3S years professor of tech
nical chemical analysis at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, tes-
titled in Suffolk Probate Court
that an entry in a family Bible upon
which Mrs. Ida Manning Blankenburg
of Tulsa, Okla. bases her claim to the
S3,000,000 estate of Lotta Crabtree,
Boston actress, was of recent date.
The hearing is on a motion by the
special administrators of the Crabtree
estate to strike out the appearance of
Mrs. Blankenburg, who claims to be
Lotta Crabtree's daughter. An entry
on the fly leaf of the family Bible, said
by the claimant to be in the hand
writing of the actress, told of the lat
ter's marriage in England to George
Manning, who later disappeared, and
of the birth of a daughter Ida
Prof. Gill said that in his opinion
the entry on the fly leaf was of recent
date and made in Iron ink He also
said that he believed the writing had
been treated with q chemical to make
it appear old. Judge Pest said he
would allow the witness to make a
test in court to determine whether a
chemical had been used to give the
ink the appearance of age.

One of the most momentous con-
troversies in the history of Chris
tianity calls for our study this week
There is something about it that
makes it appear quite modern, for the
two forces that met in the council
at Jerusalem have made the story of
Christendom one of constant contro-
versy. Human life exists in two dis
tinct realms. One consists of the
things seen. The other consists of
the unseen. Shakespeare has sharply
conceived this difference between the
inner and outward life in his king
Henry VII" which is an Illuminated
comment upon the suggestion of Paul
that though our outward man
perish, yet the inner man is renewed
day by day" The great apostle to
the gentiles had in his practical and
progressive preaching emphasized the
supreme Importance of the spiritual
life.
Upon the return of Paul and Barna-
bas to Antioch from their first mis-
sionary journey they found that their
position concerning the spiritual life
was challenged by certain Jerusalem
teachers, who probably were ''of the
sect of the PhariSeeS who had be-
lieved' and who insisted that all
Christians should live like Jews, claim
ing that there was no salvation with
out observing the law They de-
manded that all the gentle Christians
should be circumcised TO be saved.
The controversy in Antioch revealed
that there existed the same realms in
religious life as in human. 1t threat
ened the peace and unity Of not only
the Antioch Church, but the very
existence of Christian nifty as a universal
faith.
Paul revealed his diplomacy as we'll
as his confidence in his position by
suggesting that the problem involved
IN the controversy be referred to the
mother church at Jerusalem, which
had not broken with Judaism Paul
recognized that the prestige of the
Juda1stic faction was due to the fact
that they had come from Jerusalem
and claimed to represent the attitude
or the mother church and the apostles,
and they could not object to his sug-
gestion. They knew that Jerusalem
church members were accustomed to
the observance of the Jewish law be-
cause they considered it as essential
to Christianity.
The First Church Council
During their journey to the first
church council Paul and Barnabas.
who had been appointed to represent
IlS AnllOCn Cnurch ana present its
views, which made faith in the grace
of the Lord Jesus the basis of the
Christian life. visited the churches
scattered through Phoenicia and Sa-
maria and thrilled them with their
stories of their missionary work
among the heather. Luke does not
refer to their visiting any of the
churches in Judea, possibly because
they We're not missionary churches on
account of the influence of the Jeru-
salem church
Both sides presented their case be-
fore the church with such effect that
there arose much discussion, so that
the apostles and elders came to-
gether to see about this matter" which
was of such supreme Importance
The apostleship of Paul had been
questioned as well as the conditions
of salvation. From the letter to the
Galatians we learn that in that pri-
vate conference Paul established be-
yond question his right as an apostle.
He won over James, whose prestige

Drys Would Compel

 The attitude of the President was -'elicl,ed in connection with the action of the House judiciary committee yes serdsy h recommending passage of the bill introduced by Representative Stalker. republican, New York, which would deprive judge cf the discretion of imposing fine or imprisonment for violation of the prohibition law.
 If the Stalker bill should become 8 law. the only discretion allowed the judge in Volsteaa law cases would be between imposing sentence of i'm. prisoOment or one of fine and imprison. IHent.
 When inquiry was made at the White House as to the position of Mir. Coolidge on the Stalker bill it was au- thoritativey stated that the president is against it. Mir. Coolidge regards it entirely too drastic. He conceives that carrying flask of hip liquor might not be serious offense, particularly wheo 1t is a first offense.
 The President does consider boosleg- ging A serious offense. It would not be too drastic, in his opinion, to provide for the Imprisonment of hootleggers as the sole punishment for the offense of

selling intoxlcaung llQuot. But te thinks it is going entirely too far to provide Imprisonment as the sole pun- ishment for an infringeiheut of tte statute. He indicated beyond doubt that he would veto the Stalker bill if 1t should ever reach the White House.
 The Stalker bill represents he latest wrinkle in prohibition enforcement conceived bv the prohibition organiGa tions. They deemed the time propi- tious for tightening up the provisions for enforcing the eighteenth amend- ment, having been particularly azoused by the widespread leniency of judges in meting out punishment. The gen. eral disposition of judges to inflict fines instead of imprisonment was getting on the nerves of the Anti-Saloon League officials.

Let Woman Propose
 Says Cleveland Pastor

Cleveland.-"Lett the woman propose. Man has bungled the job of selecting life ma1es.n
 Thus did pr. Samuel Fritsche argue to the congr egational flock at Hoeue Avenue church in his sermon tonight.
 He talked on "Love's choice.'
 Dr.. Fritsche told the congregation:
 "Woman is by nature better fitted to make the matrimonial choice.
 ''rhe social convention that limits the choice of mate to the msu is bar barrie. It is the relic of the primitive savage custom of courtship by capture.
 "Modern methods may be less crude. but they do not grant much more free dom of choice to the woman.
 Man selects by judgment and req SOD. Sometimes very little judgment and very poor reason.
 But love rests not on reason or judgment. It is intuilive. Woman hy nature makes her choice intutively. She is therefore likely to choose more wisely.
 If the truth were confessed, in 90 per cent of happy marriages the woman did the bidding.
 The existing fashion of having love's choice inherent in the man is bungling and artificial.
 For the future welfare of the mar riage institution let the woman be the one who does the choosing.
 ITO this end ouly a simple custom need be overthrown

ALASKA FOREST RECEIPTS GROW
 FOR PAST YEAR
TERRITORY WILL RECEIVE $44,- O74 AS ITS SHARE DUR-
 ING THE FISCAL YEAR

As it's share of the receipts from National Forests in Alaska for the fiscal year ending June 30, last, Alas ka will receive $44,074 for roads and schools, according to an announce ment made recently by M. Merritt, assistant district forester at Juneau. This is materially larger than the amount received during the preced- ing fiscal year and almost twice as large as that for 1923, indicating cores bonding increase in timber sales in the two national forests.
 The total receipts from National Forest resources for the past fiscal year, were $5,OOO137, according to the final tabulation of figures made by the Department of Agriculture. This is $251,766 less than the pre- vious fiscal year but is $409,204 larg- CT than the average annual receipts of the preceding five years.
 Under authority of the acts of Congress governing receipts from National Forest resources the sum of $1,271,276 will be paid to the States and Territories containing Ma tional Forest land for the use of the school and road funds of the counties in which such land is situated. For purposes of allotment, Alaska is con- sidered a single county In addition, the sum of $497,1S2 derived from Forest receipts will be expended by the Forest Service in building roads and trails within Forest areas thru out the country This is in addition to the special Forest Road Fund, provided by Congressional appropria- tion.
