The operations of the Anglo-Ameri- can syndicate of excavators at Jeruw salem threaten an interesting dip: matic affair. According to Constantinople dis- patches, the Turkish government! takes a serious view of the incident and has sent high officials to Jerusa lam to investigate charges that tbe foreigners carried away sacred relics hidden in the Mosque of Omar fron the Romans in A. D. 70, when the city was sacked by Titus. Meantime the whereabouts of the archaeologists and the nature of their spoils is a mystery. The expedition with the prizes embarked at Jafia, fifty-four miles northwest of Jerus: lem, on April 19, boarding Captain Parker's yacht, which had been await ing them, and setting sail before the people of Jerusalam learned what they had done. It is probable the yacht is now headed for England. There is no doubt that the excava tors hoped to discover the Ark of tie Covenant and the Seven-Branche! Candlestick, but a dispatch says it i: believed the explorers found Solomon's crown, his sword and his ring, and an ancient manuscript of the Bible. The Duchess of Marlborough and members of the Armour family of Ch! cago are reputed to be among the backers of the expedition. Forest Fires Sweep Village. Forest fires are raging with unpar alleled fury in the vicinity of Wi! liamspart, Pa. Hundreds of fire figh - ers are combating the flames, and th: outcome is doubtful unless rain iali- soon. Sonestown was swept by flame and sparks from forest fires started the conflagration. The village to (. north of this city is the center © State Senator Sones’ lumber opera tions and his loss will be heavy. In the absence of the male popula tion of Sonestown, who were fight i: forest fires nearby, the women fough: the flames that were devouring thei homes. When the men arrived tic fire had destroyed several residences and a dozen barns. Help was sum moned from Muncy and Nordmont, and a portion of the Village was saved. Dies In Pit of Hot Glass. George Dehaunt, a blower at the Fairmont Window Glass plant in Fair mont, W. Va. met a fearful death when he fell into a pit of molten glass. He was blowing a piece of glass, when suddenly it broke and he lost his balance, falling into the pit. In h's fall he came in contact with a lot of broken glass that split his skull, tore out an eve, cut off an ear and almost severad one arm. Taft Promotes Accused Captain. President Taft sent to the senate the nomination of Captain Austin M. Knight to be a rear admiral. Over the protest of Secretary of the Navy Meyer Captain Knight was ac- quitted by court martial of responsi bility for the sinking of the monitor Puritan in Hampton Roads during the tests of high explosives. Bill to Pension Widows of Presidents. A bill, the object of which is to give pensions of $5000 each to Frances F. Cleveland and Mary Lord Harrison, widows of former presidents, was in- troduced in the senate by Senator Root, of New York. A similar meas- ure received favorable action in com- mittee at the last congress, but failed of passage. Thirty-six More Postal Savings Banks. Postmaster General Hitchcock has designated thirty-six additional post- offices as postal savings depositories, which, including the ones previously selected, will make a total of 129 de- positories established since Jan. 1. Among the offices just designated were Steelton, Pa., and Staunton, Va. $87,000 For Mine Victims. A total of $87,000 has been collect- ed for the relief of the families of the Pancoast mine fire victims, near Scranton, Pa. There are thirty-one widows and 110 orphans to be cared for. A committee of Scranton and Throop citizens will look after the disbursement of the funds. Found Drowned After 17 Days. The body of Eugene Gould, of East Stillwater, was found in Swartswood lake, near Newton, N. J, after a hunt of seventeen days. It was believed that he had been drowned with a com- panion, but no trace of the bodies of either was discovered until Squire Unangst discovered Gould's body. Refuse Bail For McNamara. The application of John J. McNa- mara for the fixing of bail on the charge of dynamiting was disallowed by Superior Judge Bordwell Angeles, without prejudice and with leave to renew it at any time. | Mexican Rebels Roma m— Sy Capture Jaurez. General Navarro Surrenders After Fierce Fighting. Deserted by his captains and afraid that his men would go over to the in surrectos il they were given a c.¢n e to mingle with them; his two pin cipal commanders killed or wounded, General Juan J. Navarro surrende ed the city of Juarez to the rebel army of Francisco I. Madero. With 430 of his men he is held by the rebels. Navarro remained with his men to the last, and after many of his of- ficers had quit and the command had been shot to pieces the old gen~ral retreated into the barracks on the southwestern edge of the city, where the rebel advance was fought off as long as possible. The rebels took the city in the morn- ing, but it was afternoon when Na- varro surrendered with his command, and this was only done after five shells from a heavy cannon had struck the adobe building in which they had taken refuge. Colonel M. A. Tamborel was killed during the Tuesday fight. He was the commandant of the federal garrison and second in command of the city. Colonel Manuel Pueblita, second iu command, was wounded. Federal Troops Desert. Then the captains and minor offi- ap ———— Representatives Present Gold Medal to Great Philan- thropist For His Efforts For Peace. Andrew Carnegie received in Wash: ington what he called his greatest mark of honor, when twenty-one American republics bestowed on him a gold medal, bearing on one side the words “Benefactor of Humanity” and on the other “The American Republics to Andrew Carnegie.” According to John Barrett, director general of the Pan American Union, it was the first time in history that such a tribute from so many nations had been paid to an individual. Senor De Zamacona, the Mexican ambassa- dor, made the speech of presentation; Secretary of State Knox presided, and President Taft spoke in eulogy of the gifts which Mr. Carnegie has made for the cause of peace on this hemisphere and throughout the world. Members of the diplomatic corps aud men high in official life filled the ball of the Pan American Union build. ing where the ceremonies were heid, and for the erection of which Mr. Car negie gave almost a million dollars. In accepting the medal Mr. Carne gie told of his feelings on being in- formed of the honor conferred upon him by the Pan American conference at Buenos Ayres. “I was sitting at my desk in the Highlands of Scotland last autumn,” he said, “when a telegram was handed to me, which I opened and read with out seeming quite to grasp the mean mh cers began to desert. The soldiers followed the example, and Navarro was forced to retire wih his men in! a body to keep them all from leaving | him. From place to place the federals | moved, retiring slowly as the rebel | fire drove them back. i Tuesday night and morning the federals occupied the oll church in the center of the city, tie municipal building, the jail and =u - rounding buildings. These the inst rectos forced them out of and they fell back for a last stand in the bar racks as the insurrectos ran up thet flags on the differen: buildings and their comrades began to pour in fron all sides of the town. Navarro is to be traded for Eluardo Hayes, one of the insurvec.o board of strategy, now a prisoner in the state penitentiary at Chinuahua. Francisco I. Madero when he reached Juarez af ter the surrender sald so. Colonel Tamborel was killed in hi: own home. His body is lying on a bei | in a recom in his home shot full of holes. Several newspaper correspond ents who knew and admired the little commander, who taunted the rebeis with being afraid to attack, identified the body. Lieutenant Colonel Manuel Pueblita, | second in command, was wounded in | the cheek and eye. All Saloons Closed. As soon as the insurrectos took the town the officers made every possible effort to close the saloons and pre- vent the men drinking. A great deal of liquor was destroyed at once and guards were placed over all the sa- loons. However, the men got hold of much of it. Lieutenant Colonel Garibaldi led the charge of the men through the town after Colonel Blanco's command had worked its way up behind the jail, had gained it and after having used it as a fortification had driven the federals out of the old church and the city buildings. Garibaldi first ordered the liquor destroyed. Later General Pascual Orozco gave orders to have all saloons kept closed. So far there is almost perfect order and a minimum of drunkenness. Guards watch the doors of all saloons and the anti-liquor law is in complete force. Juarez is de- signed to be the first prohibition town in Mexico. Abram Gonzales, provisional gover- nor of Chihuahua, declares that Juarez | saloons will be closed continuously until the insurrectos leave the city. Every precaution is being taken to prevent disorder. Many of the insur- rectos entered saloons at the begin- ning of the fight and secured bottles of liquor, but in their hilarity they distributed it among their friends, so that altogether no one man got very much to drink. The lid is down tight and will be held so, declare the authorities. The killed and wounded are found in all, sorts of out of the way places in Juarez. Blood spots appear everywhere on the streets and on the sidewalks, and dead and dying men and men wounded seriously and slightly are found at every turn. 1t is believed from careful estimates of Americans who have gone through the town very thoroughly that the to- | tal dead will be 50 or 75 and the total | wounded will not be over 300. The list will likely run that high, how- ever. i The hardest fighting was done on | Tuesday. During Tuesday night Blanco’s insurrectos came into Juarez fresh from their camps and they open- ed the fighting by attacking the jail and liberating about eighty-five pris: oners. From the jail they directed their fire against the federals in sur rounding buildings and soon had them getreating to the barracks in the —————— Danced Herself to Death.

Truly, my friends, I neve before felt go completely overwhelmed and crushed as it dawned upuu me that the honor which the conference had voted to confer was without par allel; 160,000,000 people formiuy twenty-one sovereign nations, bestow: ing upon poor me an honor the like of which had never before been be stowed upon a human being.” Referring to President Taft's ad- dress a year ago when he voiced a sentiment for a reign of peace amon | the Pan American republics, Mr. Car- negie said: “Thus the president's first invitatiou to establish a reign of peace was prop- erly made to you. Much has taken place since then. He recently held out the olive branch of peace, and it in stantly was accepted by the othe: branch of our English-speaking race wit hsuch enthusiasm, not by one but by all parties, that today we have every reason to believe that war as a means of settling disputes between the two branches of our race will soon become a crime of the past.” In offering thanks to the nations, - | of 160,000,000 People through their diplomats present for the honor bestowed upon him, Mr. | Carnegie asked them to accompany ! the expression with the ardent wish | on his part that prompt action should ! be taken by the twenty-one republic: to establish a reign of peace by | adopting President Taft's policy of | Wealthy Man's Son Has Leprosy. During a period of four years a suf- ferer from leprosy, yet in daily attend- ance at a public school during all of that time, Harry Sheridan, the fifteen- year-old Pawtucket, R. 1, schoolboy, whose examination by experts at the Massachusetts General hospital re vealed the true nature of his dread | disease, faces the fate of his kind. Virtually a prisoner in the home of his wealthy parents, about which po- force stand guard, the fact of his hav- city at all has aroused the ire of Dr. Byron Uris Richards, Pawtucket's city physician, who is at a loss what to do, As a matter of fact the boy was taken home by his father, Edward P.

It was indicated that Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh will call for popular bids on an issue of $50,000,000 of Panama bonds within the next few days. The securities will be dated June 1, and if the treasury is unable to de- liver them by that time they will carry accrued interest. The interest rate fixed by law will be 3 per cent. As they will not be available to na- tional banks for the basis of circula- tion, the treasury expectsthat the en- tire offer will be subscribed by in- vestors. Secretary MacVeagh, as far as is known, has not changed his intention of making the loan a popular one and giving preference to the smaller sub- i scriptions.

From information received in York, Pa., from the matrimonial editor of an Oklahoma paper, four pretty young girls o fthat city, ranginn in age from eighteen to twent,-two years, have asked that the editor provide them with husbands in the far west. The young girls prefer wealthy farmers. Their names are Mary Horner, Mar- tha Walker, Mamie Ridilak and Re- becca Doyle. Miss Horner is nineteen and says she is considered pretty. Miss Walker is eighteen and says she is affectionate and pretty. Mamie Ridi- lak says she is nineteen, has brown hair, is pretty and weighs 122 pounds. She says “I am considered pretty.” Rebecca Doyle, the last of the quar- tet, is eighteen, weighs 125 pounds and is five fet tall. The girls are all young and apparently anxious. They seem to have taken a novel method in getting away from York. Five Children Burned to Death. Five of the six children of Sanford Davis, a farmer of near Free Union, Albemarle county, Va., were burned tu death when fire destroyed the Davis home. Davis and his wife and an in- fant escaped. The dead children rang- ed in age from three to fifteen years. Elopers Arrested. Frances Vanderworx, an eighteen- year?old girl from Cedargrove, near Montclair, N.
