JONAH STORY TOLD AS
PARABLE, SAYS TYSON
Speaker at Lenten Service in
Theatre Opposes Literal In
terpretation. Modern Christians arc not expected to
believe that .lonnh nctunlly lived thrca
days In the stomach of n. whale, as set
forth In the Old Testament. In the opin
ion of the Rev. Stuart L. Tyson, former
professor of theology at the University of
the South, who spoke today at the Len
ten service In the Oarrlck Thentre, The
speaker' held that this was n parable
written to answer a need of the times,
and was chronicled In the form most ac
ceptable to the mental stature of the peo
ple who IKed at the lime of the much
disputed Incident.
Doctor Tyson took for his text, 'Tut
all thins" to the proof and hold fast to
Hint which Is Rood," from St. Paul's
Kplstlo to the ThCBsatonland. lie said
that the parables In tho Old Testament
should be read In tho light of modern
knowledge and a lesson drawn from most
of the unusual happenings which are dc
scribed. lie said that God sent Jonah to Mnevch
to demonstrate to the Jews that the Al
mighty desired the salvation of the Baby
lonians as welt as of His chosen people.
The story of Jonah's shipwreck and sub
sequent llfo for three days within tho
whale was simply used by tho ancient
chronicler, Doctor Tyson said, bccallso
that was "the most attractive way to
present It to the people or mo times.
"All tho parables In tho Old Testa
ment," ho said, "are not to bo believed
lltcrnlly Lessons must be drawn from
them and the truth separated from the
parable. Just as a man who had received
a basket of fruit would cat the fruit and
not the basket, so Christians should read
the Bible."

Arrest of Mayor and Other Officials
Believed to Bo a Prelude.

of Pollco 'W. II. Mclllvanc, Deputy Pros
ecutor Ccno Williams and Herbert S.

of several weeks' Investigation by tho
Grand Jury, with W. A. Thompson 3

tr; ST POPULATION PASSES
100,000,000 MARK TODAY
s
Census Expert's Estimato Slightly
Lower Than Treasury Actuary's.
WASHINGTON, April 2. This after
noon at 4 o'clock: Undo Sam's children
will number 100,000,03), according to the
estimates of C. D. Sloane, geographer of
the Census Bureau.
In the Census Bureau such figures are
based on tho difference in population In
1500 and 1510. By that system of computa
tion tho country would contain 100.399,
318 persons on July 1, 1915, and more than
108.000,000 on July 1, 1920. By .the coiisur
estimates tho population of all the United
States, Including Alaska and Hawaii,
would bo 110,750,000 on July 1 of this
year.
J. S. McCoy, Actuary of the Treasury,
calculated that 100.016,000 persons wero
In the country on February 1.
POPE PAVES WAY
FOR HARMONY
Continued from rage One
Vatican Invited the flock to pray for "our
country nnd for all the authorities that
govern It; for his Majesty King Victor
Emmanuel III and tho royal family: for
the military and civil authorities of the
diocese."
Thanks to tho Pope's patriotism, tho
most distressing and apparently unsolv
ablo question, that of the diplomats ac
credited to theVatlcan, has been solved
In a woy which wljl Insure for Pope Ben
edict XV the eternal gratitude of the na
tion. In case of war the Pope has of
fered to ask for the recall of those diplo
mats belonging to the nation against
which Italy would be compelled to march.
On Its part the Government will permit
the Vatican State Chancellery to com
municate with the warring nations
through the neutral embassies entrusted
with the protection of Italian Interests.
The. position In which the Vatican
would And Itself in case of Italy's Inter
vention In the war was another of the
difficult questions which required a so
lution satisfactory to both parties. The
Vatican firmly stated that It would not
submit to any restrlclon of Its freedom
of communications, and that any act on
the part of the Italian Government to cur
tall Its liberty would be followed by
strong protests to the European Govern
ments. Now, however, Catholic circles say
that the order, Issued to the clergy to
glye their full support to the civil author
ities and work In harmony with the
government organs Justifies tho belief
that the foundations for. a solution of
the Roman question have already been
laid.
What this solution Is Is not yet known,
but the Impression prevails that a re
vision of the guaranty law, which now
governs the relations between the Church
and the State, already has been under
taken, n Is believed that the changes
to be made In the original laws, while de
fining more accurately the Btatua of the
Holy See In Italy, will also Increase tho
range of Its freedom In Its International
relations, thus rendering (t more Inde
pendent of outside Interference.
Chief Engineer of P. and R. Suc
cumbs to Apoplexy.
William Hunter, Chief Engineer of tho
Phlliulelphla nnd Heading ltnllunj, who
was stricken with apoplexy on Wednes
day in tho Heading Terminal after return
ing from an Inspection of the road, dlod
early today at tho Jefferson Hospital.
His wife and daughter, Lllllnn and two
sons, Fletcher nnd Nicholas wero at his

Mr. Hunter was born In Berks County,
May 25, 1S34. Ho was educated nt Poly
technic College and graduated In 1872.
He took a higher courso In mathematics
and civil engineering and In 187C accepted
a position ns a rodman with tho Phila
delphia and Heading. Later ho left to
go In business nnd In 1878 accepted tho
post of Chief Engineer of tho Pittsburgh
and Erie Road.
In 1900 he returned to this city und whs
made Chief Engineer and Hoadmoslcr of
the Philadelphia and Reading. He re
mained in nctlve charge of his depart
ment up to the time of his death which
Is believed to have been hastened by a
fatiguing trip hn mado all over tho Read
ing lines before he was stricken. Tho
funeral arrangements have not yet been
made.
JAPAN REASSURES U. S.
ON CHINESE DEMANDS
Ambassador Guthrie Informed
"Open Door" Treaties Are
Being Observed.
WASHINGTON. April 2.
Japan has assure'd tho United States,
through Ambassador Guthrie at Toklo,
that she Is scrupulously observing all her
existing treaties dealing with China.
This assurance Is not an answer to tho
American representations asking Japan's
Intentions toward China, which Is being
conaldered-by the Japanese Cabinet.
Bccause,,however, of tho intimation that
Japan actually was striking at the "open
door," tho Japanese Government decided
to present assurances voluntarily.
Diplomatic circles heard today that
Japan and China are on the point of com
promising their din'ciences. Japan lias
yielded, reports said, on several Important
points, and the negotiations nro said to
have taken on a mora hopeful tone,
PEKIN, China, "April 2.-By makins
further concessions tho Chinese statesmen
yesterday forestalled tho expected ulti
matum from Japan. They offered to
waive entirely the question of Chinese
Jurisdiction over Japanese immigrants In
South Manchuria except In cases Involv
ing land ownership, nnd Japanese Minis
ter Illoki nsreed to submit this proposi
tion to his Government.
The Japanese represent that they wish
to unify the system of arms throughout
China, which today Is made up of a med
ley of innumerable patterns; that China
would benefit by an Increased number of
schools and hospitals; and that they are
only asking prh lieges which other nations
now enjoy.
