PAPYRI BURIED OVER 1,800 YEARS. Hilhrrto Unknown Si) but ol Jesnt Out Up by Archaeologists About One Hundred Miles From Cairo, Egypt Some Variations From Accepted Text Wert Probably Wrllleo to Tnomtt. London (By Cable). Many hitherto unknown sayings of Jesus Christ have been discovered in Egypt by archeolo gists who have dug up papyri, buried since the second century, 100 miles south of Cairo. Dr. Bernard P. Gren fcll, who has been engaged in Egyptian excavations since 1894 nt the general meeting of the Egypt Exploration Fund here, gave the following details: Accompanied by Dr. Hunt, Dr. Grcnfell found a rich ptolcmaic necrop olis at El-Hibeh. The bulk of the doc uments from one mound consisted of a collection of sayings of Jesus. They lire all introduced with the words. "Jesus saith," and for the most part arc new. The ends of the lines, unfor tunately, are often obliterated. Appar ently all the sayings were addressed to St. Thomas. One of the most remark able is: "Let not him that scekcth cease from his search until he find, and when hi finds he shall wonder; wondering he shall reach the kingdom, i. c., the king dom of heaven, and when he reaches the kingdom he shall have rest." Dr. Grcnfell remarked that enor mous interest would be aroused by the discoveries, on account of the varia tions they disclosed from accepted texts. One variant of the mystical say ing, recorded in St. Luke, "The king dom of God is within you," was of great value, as the saying in the papyrus ap peared in quite different surroundings from those attributed to it by the evan gelist and extended far into another region. According to Dr. Grcnfell these say ings formed the new Gospel which is traditionally associated with St. Thomas. An interesting variation of the Gos pel according to St. Luke, eleventh chapter and fifty-second verse, ("Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye enter ed not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered,") reads in the papyrus: "Ye have hidden the key of knowledge, ye entered not your selves and to them that were entering in ye did not open." Another fragment contained a dis course of Christ, closely related to pas sages of the sermon on the mount, and a conversation between Christ and His disciples, in which Christ answers a question as to when His kingdom will be realized, saying: "When ye return to the State of innocence which existed before the fall." A valuable find was made in papyri, written in Latin, giving the text of the Epistle to the Hebrews, and an epi tome of Livy's six lost books. This, with other papyri, covering the period I5r-i37 B. C. threw much new and val uable information on the history of the world and marked the recovery of hitherto lost classical literature of Egypt. A quaint instance of the business methods in vogue in 137 A. D is shown in the discovery of an amusing contract whereby a slave-boy was to be taught shorthand for 120 drachmae. The payment was arranged on a thoroughly business-like basis, 40 drachmae down, 40 on satisfactory evidence of progress -and 40 on the attainment of profi ciency. ASSURANCES OF RUSSIA. United States Satisfied Tbtt tbe Cur Will Not Interfere. Washington, D. C. (Special). It is stated officially here in relation to the story printed by an Odessa Russian newspajier that the United States con templated a military occupation of Muk den that at no stage in the Chinese nego tiations has the State Department con templated a recourse to the military arm of the United States. The assurances that had been received here from Russia quite satisfied the de partment that, regardless of any military or political movements by Russia in Manchuria, there would not be any at tempt made to interfere with the United States' trade in that quarter; so that from a trade standpoint it matters little whether Russian or Chinese troops gar rison Mukden, the force of the new treaty between China and the United States being recognized by Russia. A Head-on Collision. Johnstown, Pa. (Special). In a head on collision of freight engines near Bradley Junction, on the Cambria and Clearfield division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, rireman A. M.

Wood It Held Up.

If Speaker Cannon carries out his present plans, after the House has dis posed of the Cuban Reciprocity Bill he will appoint a number of his other House committees, so that they may proceed at once with the work of pre paring the great appropriation bills for the coming fiscal year. There are 14 of these bills, anil the Speaker is anx ious to have them presented and pass ed by the House as soon as possible during the regular session beginning next month, so that they can get to the Senate and become laws before the summer. The appropriation bills have always been the great obstacles to an early adjournment of Congress during the long session, and Speaker Cannon, from his experience as chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the Mouse, knows that the sooner the House committees bcein work on them the greater the chance for an early ad journment. The estimates for the ap propriations are submitted to Congress on the opening day of the regular ses sion of Congress, but there is a great deal of preliminary work many of the committees can do this month in has tening the drafting of the bills. Porto Rlco't Plea.

H.GREEN MURDERED "Father ol Greater New York" Shot By Negro Servant. KILLED AT HIS OWN DOORSTEP. Delusion Tbtt Mr. Oreeo Hid Slandered Mint Tbe Negro Mikes No Attempt to Etctpe, Bui Curtet Hit Victim W hile Mill Oreeo Holdt tbt Hetd ol tbt Oetd or Dylo Men In Her Arms. New York (Special). Hon. Andrew H. Green, famous lawyer, once the part ner of Samuel J. Tildcn, and known as the "Father of Greater New York," was shot and killed at Thirty-ninth street and Park avenue at 1.30 o'clock in the after noon by Cornelius M. Williams, a negro. Williams was at once arrested. The murderer, who gave his residence as 156 West Twenty-sixth street, and his age as 4.1 years, fired five shots, four of which took effect. Mr. Green was shot as he was enter ing his residence, 91 Tark avenue. After firing four shots into his victim's head the negro put the revolver in his pocket and stood in the vestibule calmly waiting for a policeman to come and arrest him. The negro, it appears, was standing in the vestibule of the house, when some words passed between them. Mr. Green entered the gate. Then Williams opened fire. Williams declares that this is the con versation that took place: "I said to Mr. .Green: 'Why do you take it upon yourself to circulate this scandal about me?' "'What scandal?' said Mr. Green. " 'You know what scandal. You met me in West Fifty-third street, and want ed to know why I was living in a negro lodging house.' " T don't know anything about it,' said Mr. Green. 'Go away from me.' " 'You do know about it, and you will have to die for it.' With that I opened fire." Williams told this story very coolly as he sat in the captain's room in the East Thirty-fifth Street Police Station. After he had finished this recital he leaned back in his chair and very coolly remarked : "If I am not justified before man, I am before God." The arrest of Williams was made by Policeman Houghtaling. The officer was going up Park avenue when the shooting took place. He says that he reached the house just after Williams had fired the last shot. The negro had been standing in the vestibule all the time, the officer says. The negro simply put the revolver back in his pocket, leaned against the door, folded his arms and smiled. Houghtaling took the empty revolver away from him and then hustled him off to the police station. When searched a dispossess notice was found in his pocket. This was for rooms at 426 West Fifty seventh street. The house was owned by Mr. Green. The notice was issued in August last, and the police believe that this is the real cause of Williams' action. When Mr. Green fell passers-by rushed to his assistance. His niece and the ser vants came from the house. He was dead before anyone reached him, but a near-by doctor was summoned.
