CUP CONSIDERED
USED BY CHRIST
CLOSELY GUARDED
Relic in Library at Man.
chester, EngIand-Hunt-
ed Elsewhere.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
LONDON, April 29.-While twelve
expeditions, representing seven ma
lions, are exploring the Holy Land
for relics of Biblical times, what
may be the actual cup that Christ
drank from at the last supper-the
Holy Grail of legends under close
guard in Manchester
The cup was found in the Crimea
by a German archaeologist and has
been acquired by DR.. James Rendel
Harris curator of manuscripts at the
John Rylands library, Manchester.
Da. Harris, a former professor at
Harvard and Oberlin colleges and at
ohns Hopkins University, is one of
the most distinguished archaeolo-
gists.
II has been proved that the cup is
of first century manufacture. DIR.
Harris, among other distinguished
archaeologists, advances the POSSIBLE
ity that the cup, if not the actual
one from which Christ drank, ana
which he passed around among the
disciples, is at least one OF those
from which the disciples drank at
the last supper.
The cup was made at Sidon glass
factory. 1t is roughly three inches
high and two and one-half inches IN
diameter. 1t is a golden yellow crys-
tai, and holds nearly half a pint. 1t
was broken in transit to England,
but has since been repaired.
There are six other cups similar
10 this one-one of them at the To
ledo, (Ohio) Museum. But what
causes experts to attach tremendous
Importance to this one is the Greek
Inscription on it in raised letters,
evidently put on when the glass was
nodded in clay.
The Holy Grail is commonly be-
Iieved to have had a Greek inscrip-
ton OH it. And this one not only
has such an inscription, but one that
matches the words, Wherefore art
thou Gomez" that Jesus, according
TO Matthew in the Bible, addressed
to Judas after the last supper.
Translated into modern English
the inscription on the cup is What
are you here for? Be merry"
The experts theory is that Christ
saw these words on the cup at the
last supper and remembered and
spoke them Ironically to Judas when
the false disciple came to betray him
70 tho Y,1u1titude
1t is impossible, according to ar
chaeologists, that the cup could ever
be accepted as that used by Christ,
or even as one Of those used at the
last supper.
Proof of any sort is impossible, as
the history of the cup is unknown
between the time of its manufacture
and the time it was found in the
Crimea; and there is ground for con-
lecture only, based on the coinci-
dence of the inscription, possibly a
common one and the words Christ
used to Judas.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The
new gold strike at Weepah, New,
will have little effect on either the
worlds or Americas gold supply, in
the opinion of Miss Mary M. O'Rell-

25 1-2 Mills Reported to Be
 Acceptable to City Fathers

Acceptance of a budget and tax rate for the fiscal year 1927-192S and action on a report of the com- mittee on investigation of electrical exams are items of chief importance in the agenda for consideration at tonight's meeting of the common council.
 Members of the council are in agreement on estimates of experdi- ture and income providing a 251a mill rate for next year and little or no discussion is expected to precede adoption.
 The investigating committee, head ed by Councilman W. Spaulding Warner, will report it has found a large number of discrepancies in marking papers, will criticize the methods employed by the examiners in the first tests, will object to in clusion of electrician contractors on the examining committee, and re- port that three persons received H. censes without any test.
 Councilman Warner will recom- mend that those who received li- censes without examination be re- quired to submit to tests. They are, Commissioner T. W. Hinchliffe and ex-Commissioner Joseph P. Barry. and Cyril J. Curtin, former electrical examiner. Hinchliffe and Barry still hold theirs. but Curtin upon retiring from office turned his back announc- ing that he would not work at his trade without qualifying in the same method as all other licensed men.

CHILD SLAYER STILL
 PUZZLES AUTHORITIES
Undecided What Course To Take With 12 Year old New York
 Killer.

Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 16 (UP)- By times exhibiting bravado and fright, Michael Ponraskow, 12-year- old slayer. today remained in cus- tody of the Children's Society while authorities debated his troublous future.
 Michael shot and killed Marcus Gold in a Richmond Hill leather shop Monday night while attempting a hold-up. He will be arraigned in Jamaica children's court Friday.
 Even with the separation from his parents. Michael Is at times uncon- cerned. Then remorse will come and the youngster cries:
 What are they going to do to me? Oh I didn't mean to kill any body"
 Meanwhile the district attorneys office was attempting to determine whether the boy will be placed on trial for his life.
 If he is charged merely with juvenile delinquency he can only be confined in an institution until his majority. On the other hand. if he is brought to trial for murder it was believed the state would have diff culty in proving reconciliation.
 A plea of insanity probably will be put forward if the charge is any thing more serious than that of ju- venile delinquency.

CROOKED VENDORS FOOL
 PURCHASERS, IS REPORT
Says Alleged Florida Deal- CTS Buy Their Goods Here,
 Reap Big Profit.

Fake vendors, who come to New Britain, buy fruit and vegetables here, drive to Plainville and tele- phone to New Britain householders that they have just arrived from Florida or California with a fresh supply of their product, are oper- ating here, according to James A. Spinetta, local merchant.
 Mir. Spinetta complained last eve ming at a meeting of the mercantile bureau of the chamber of commerce. One week these men claim to have mixed boxes of oranges and grape fruit, which they will sell at whole sale price. Then they drive. here from Plainvile, where they called from a pay station. and sell for sS q box of fruit they bought in New Britain. which I can sell for s5.50 and make a dollar profit on," he said.
 "One woman told me man charged her S14.75 for a box of lemons. m give her all she wants at SC. I buy them for s5.25.
 Sometimes these vendors repre- sent themselves as having received a shipment of potatoes from some dis tant point, They buy them all in New Britain. If you send a detective to the wholesale house at o'clock in the morning. you'll see them there."

MILAN AND HEFL|N IN SENATE DISPUTE
Exchange Words in Tilt Over
 Branch Banking Bill
BY GEORGE B. MANNING

Washington Bureau of the N. B. Herald)
 Washington. D. C., Feb. 16- Senator George P. Mclean of Con- necticut became involved in a sp.r- tied colloquy today with Senator Thomas Heflin of Alabama during a debate on the McFadden branch banking bill of which the Connec- ticut senator has now taken charge. There is very bitter feeling in the senate over this bill. This is the measure over which Senator. Garter Glass of Virginia and Senator Wheeler of Montana had their clash last Saturday. In order to get the bill through the senate at all, cloture rule limiting debate has been adopted. Senator Mclean has taken charge of the bill now since Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania wearied of his apparently futile efforts lasting two weeks to achieve any progress with it.
 Senator Heflifln accused Senator Mclean of railroading the bill through the senate as he had an- another federal reserve amendment bill last year. Heflin suggested that Mclean had the senate force down his throat last year an amendment to the federal reserve act to which he was opposed, and is now attempt ing to force another objectionable bill down his throat.
 Senator Mclean pointed out that the bill Hetlin is now basing his objection was passed last May. Tt is difficult to force down the throat of the senator a bill the sen- ate adopted last year with great rel ish. What the senator needs is Q stomach pump" replied Senator Mo Lean. T am going to use another kind of instrument on the senator from Connecticut just here" shouted back Hefin. The Alabama senator then continued with his speech com plaining against Mclean railroading the bill through, but they got no nearer calling each other names or real fisticuffs.

both firm and dignifled, exactly re- fleets the sentiments of the nation." says Excelsior. The paper thus sums up the views of all the newspapers on the French answer to President Coolidge's proposal for limitation of naval ornaments.
 The Figaro observes: Tt is impos- sible to admit that our country, de- prived of the guarantee pact which wc5 to assure the peace of Europe, should not have the right to provide itself for it's own security. The government, indeed. does not say that, but the entire French public thinks it."
 L'Ouevre, organ of section of the radical party, asks if the United States, sure of being beaten," will withdraw its delegates from the pre- liminary disarmament commission at Geneva.
 Nothing could show better" it says, that they (the United States) are less anxious for general disarma- ment and peace than to assure to themselves at small cost supremacy of the seas"
