WORDS OF CHRIST FOUND
Archaeolofittt Make Stranje Discovery
In Ejypt.
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. Weakland, of
Altoona. and Brakeman A. J. Ebcrly,
of Cresson, were killed. Engineers J.
II. Uuck and V. E. Ouartz were se
verely injured, the former it is thought
fatally. The collision was due to a
misunderstanding of orders.
Will Be a Oreal Trial.
St. Petersburg (Special). About
3000 witnesses and 50 lawyers will ap
pear at the trial, which onens Thurs
day, of the persons arrested on the
charge of participation in the massacre
of Jews at Kisheneff in April last. All

Collieries to Open.
Shamokin, Pa. (Special). The Hick
ory Ridge, Swamp, Richards and Penn
sylvania collieries, which employ 3x0
men and boys, will resume operations
next week after an idleness of about
two months. The col'ieries were for
merly operated b" ne Union Coal
Company, but that company having be
come extinct the collieries passed into
the control of the Susquehanna Coal
Company, which it controlled by the
Pennsylvania Kailroad Copany.
Princeton Won.
New Haven, Conn. (Special). Yale
went down to defeat before the men of
Princeton in the annual football game
on Yale field by a tcore of 1 1 to 6. The
contest, which wat one of the most spec
tacular ever witnessed on Yatc't grid
iron, wat ttubbonly fought throughout.
Until the last five minutes of play, when
Dewitt, the Princeton captain, kicked a
marvelous goal from placement and
broke the tied tcore of 6 to 6, the result
wat In doubt.
NATIONAL CAPITAL, AFFAIRS.
Wood It Held Up.
The nomination of Robert Shaw Oli
ver, of New York, to be assistant secre
tary of war, was ordered to be favorably
reported by the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs, No action was taken
on the nomination of Brigadier General
Leonard Wood to be major general in
view of the request made in executive
session by Senator Teller that he be
given an opportuity to make inquiries
concerning General Wood's military rec
ord. Senator Proctor, acting chairman,
will call a second meeting of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs within a few
days. He said it is the intention now
that the meeting shall be public and a
hearing granted to all persons opposed
to the nomination of General Wood.
The committee voted to recommend
the confirmation of the appointment of
Major General Samuel B. M. Young to
be lieutenant general, vice General Miles,
retired. The appointment of Brigadier
General Samuel S. Sumner to be major
general, made prior to that of General
Wood, was ordered favorably reported.
As long as the nomination of General
Wood is held up about 100 nominations
of others will remain unacted upon, as
their promotion depends upon that of
General Wood.
He Will Save Time.
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.
A conference was held at the executive
offices between the President and three
officials of the Island of Porto Rico
Charles Hartzcll, secretary of the island

urged the President to exert his influ
ence to the end that Porto Rico might
lie enabled to market its coffee cron to
advantage, their suggestion being that
treaties be negotiated by the United
Mates with foreign countries, orovidine
that they should admit Porto Rican cof
fees at such duties as would trive the is
land planters profitable markets. Sena
tor Foraker, of Ohio, also had a talk
with the President about Porto Rican af
fairs, bringing to the President's atten
tion some cablegrams from Governor
Hunt. The President will discuss fully
the affairs of the island in his forthcom
ing annual message to Congress.

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.
