"BurroTOi Will Fight Cuban Reci
procity on Constitutional
Grounds
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 15. There Is a report ttiat
the new Isthmian Canal Commission will
consist of slx'or the present members of
the commission, with Senator James X.
Jones as the seventh member. This will
leave out three of the old Commissioners.
The names Of the six to be reappointed
are said to be: George S. Morrison, engi
neer: Lieutenant-Colonel Oswald H. Ernst,
of the Corps of Engineers; Alfred Noble,
Colonel Peter C. Haines, also an Army
Engineer, and W. H. Burr. The three
members dropped are: Professor Emery
Johnson, Louis M. Haupt, engineer, and
ex-Senator Pasco.
The same report his It that" Admiral
Walker Is again to be chairman of the
commission, and says his selection for this
place, as well as the appointment of Sen
ator Jonest has been brought about by the
Influence of Senators Hinna and Spooner.
Jones was chairman of the cdmmittco on
resolutions at the last Democratic Na
tional Convention, which declared for the
Nicaragua route. He voted for the Pan
ama route in the Senate against the pro
test of many of his colleagues, -and his
appointment to the new commission, If
made, will be regarded In the nature of a
reward. While It Is possible that the
President has in mind the names given as
possible members of the commission, it is
jjot probable that a commission will be
fully determined upon until the nego
tiations for the canal route are nearlng
completion. By that time other men may
be favorably considered. It is quite prob
able that several members of the former
commission will be chosen because of the
experience they have already acquired.
BURROWS ISSUES A "DEFI."
Will Fij?ht Cuban Reciprocity ot
Coniititutlonal Grounds.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 15. Senator Burrows has is
sued a "defl" on the reciprocity question.
He says he will fight any attempt to pass
a treaty granting reciprocity to Cuba on
Constitutional grounds. Burrows has
taken several positions on the reciprocity
question. When It seemed probable that
a bill would be' parsed for Cuban reci
procity, he joined with Elkins In talking
about a treaty. In fact, the so-called
beet-sugar Senators submitted a treaty
proposition as an alternative to settle the
question. Now that It appears probable
that a treaty will be offered. Burrows an
nounces that no such treaty should be
made, as the matter affects dutie3 and
revenues and should be legislation origi
nating In the House. The fact is that
Burrows Is committed to the Oxnard In
terests, and he will use any means to de
feat Cuban reciprocity that Is In his
power.

Inspector Hunt said: "I thought that

we did not get a single thing. He denied
everything and stuck to his denials,

met Bartholin In the house. I do not know
what happened there. I went to my room
and after that I cannot say anything as
to what transpired In tho house. I may
have been drunk, or I may have been
drugged: I do not know.
"Whatever I did I do not know. I do
not deny now that I went out with him
but I cannot remember. Whatever I did
he made me do. I may have gono with

Milton E. Edwards,- one of the former
roomers of Mrs. Anne Bartholin and a
witness who tho police think will prove
valuable In clearing up the mystery In
the murders of Mrs. Bartholin and Mm
nle Mitchell, arrived In this city early
today from Denver and at once placed
himself In the hands of the police. Ed
wards was frank in hlo statements and
showed no signs of nervousness.
To a reporter of the Associated Press
he made the following statement:
I barely know Thompson and have
spoken to him only three or four times
I never was a doctor or a hypnotist, and
I could not possibly have put Thompson
under any Influence, as he Irrationally
stated. I have already said that I thought
things were queer at the Bartholin home,
and that la the reason I left there. .
'I have a few things more to tell the
Chief of Police, but the public must wait
until the Chief speaks. I saw Bartholin
kissing a woman in the house, hut what
bearing that may have on the case I do
not know."
Edwards was cross-examined both by
Chief of Police O'Neil and Inspector
nunt, nut practically nothing now was
elicited. Edwards told In a stralghtfor
wara manner what he remembered
suspicious actions about the Bartholin
house, of his fear that Mrs. Bartholin
had been murdered, and his fear f6r his
own safety If he stayed longer In the
house. The story was repeated of how
he had been awakened by the howling
or a cat, or how he had seen Thompson
leaning over his bed one night, and how
Thompson had explained his presence in
Edwards' room by saying ha thought
William Bartholin wfls sleeping there.
Edwards met Thompson today. The
men nodded, but said nothing.

THE EARLIESTS BOOKS.
Pages of Papyrus Best Preserved in
Dry Air of Egypt.
Harper's Magazine.
The Greek book of the age of Perlclee.
or a Latin book ot the age Of C&te&f,
was very unlike the books to which we
are accustomed nowadays. The material
on which It was written was pajSyrus, a
fabric made out of tho pith of the Egyp
tian water plant of that name. This
gave a smooth and pleasant surface for
writing on with the soft reeds which
were then In use; but unfortunately It
was not toUgh enohgh to withstand the
disintegrating Influences Tf time. In
every country but one the ordinary
trials of books Use. neglect, ddmp, In
jects and the like have caused its com
plete destruction. It Is only- in the won
derfully dry climate of Egypt that It has
been able to resist 'theea agencies. During
the last century, and increasingly during
the last 25 years, researches in the burled
cities and cemeteries of Egypt have yield
ed great quantities of manuscripts upon
papyrus mostly fragments, it Is true
but yet sufficient to restore to us several
works of ancient Jlterature which had
been supposed to be horelcssly lost, and
to show us by actual examples, dating
ob far back as the beginning of the third
century. B. C, what an ancient book was
like.
In another and more noticeable respect
than material, ancient books differed
from modern. The papyrus was not cut
up Into leaves and bound Into volumes,
like a irtodern book, but was manufac
tured Irt long rolls, which the reader un
rolled as he progressed In the work he
was reading. The length of these roI.6
might be anything up to about 3) feet,
but rarely exceeded this limit; the height
would normally be about 9 or 10 Inches.
A roll of these dimensions w6u!d
contain, in moderate-sized writing, an
ordinary Greek play, or two books oi
the "Iliad;" but collected editions of an
author' work were Impossible, except in
the form ot a great quantity of separata
rolls. This fact goes far to explain why
so many works by writers of the highest
reputation have failed to come down to
U2.
The writing on a papyrus roll was di
vided Into columns, the width of which
wag regulated by the length of the verses.
If the work transcribed was in poetry,
but in the caee of pfose works It rarely
exceeded three Inches.
Papyrus continued to be the principal
material In use for books of the best
quality until the fourth century of our
era; but about that time vellum, which
had previously been employed mainly for
Inferior purposes, began to supersede it,
and thence forward the best copies of
books werexwrltten upon this much more
durable material.
RECREATION OF AUTHORS
Writers Have Found Health and
Pleasure in Physical Sports.
Philadelphia Presa.
A look through "Who's Who" discloses
the fact that most authors nowadays seek
recreation In outdoor sport. At one time
the author who lived out of doors was an
exception. Wordsworth was a prodigious
walker. So was his friend. Professor Wil
son ("Christopher North"). The latter was
also a wrestler and Jumper, who cculd
meet all comers. George Borrow was a
giant In stature and physique, notwith
standing his hairless face and .effeminate
voice. He Is credited with ability to walk
CO miles A day. N6 one who- has ever read
"Lavengro" will forget his account of his
fist fight with the Flaming Tinman. That
encounter showed thlt he had not only
"science," but staying power. Byron
prided himself cn his dexterity with the
gloves. Necessarily he was badly handi
capped by his lameness. However, he
seems to have beeh a respectable amateur
boxer. The stories ot his prowess as a
swimmer aro well authenticated. When
Virtually untrained he covered long dis
tances in the Lake of Geneva, and he
duplicated the classic feat of Lcander In
swimming the Hellespont.
Among the poets of our own day Swin
burne appears to bo the one who has ex
celled In swimming. Edgar Allen Poe was
addicted to this form of sport, and had
few equals in the days of his own vigor
ous manhood. He wns known to have an
ambition to swim the English Channel
from Dover to Calais a feat which In
later years was accomplished by the
daring but unfortunate Captain Webb, who
perished in his foolhardy attempt to swim
through the whirlpool rapids at Niagara.
As a Jumper Poe must have been remark
able, and in our times, when. college ath
letic are so assiduously cultivated, bo
would probably havo taken championship
honors. William Cullen Bryant took gym
nastic exercises up to the time of his
death. Writing to a friend, in his 77th
year, hfe Says: "I rise at 5:30 and begin
a series of exercises designed to expand
the Chest and call Into action all the mus
cles and articulations of the body. These
are performed with, dumbells, with a pole,
a horizontal box and a light chair swung,
around the head. After a full hour passed
In this manner I bathe from head to foot.'
George Meredith was. celebrated In his
earlier years for handling heavy weights
and wielding Indian clubs. He was also
an untiring walker. Before Tennyson be
gan to feel his age he was also a noted
pedestrian. Charles Klngsley was the typ
ical "muscular Christian." a good boxer,
a gocd oarsman and fond of walking.
Dickens as a pedestrian -was almost a
prodigy In the matter of speed and the
amount of ground he could cover. Conan
Doyle Is a cricketer of some reputation,
but he takes an active interest In other
athletic sports. Andrew Lang is the arch
apostle of golfing. Caledonian sports had
a loving participant In Robert Bruns, who
delighted In feats of strength. In "putting
the stone" he could give odds to most
men and beat them, and he. Is said to
havo had few equals In lifting heavy
weights. George Bernard Shaw Is proba
bly the only living writer who actually
professes a contempt for athletics. He
admits that he takes exercise in cycling,
but describes his recreation C3 "anything
but sport."
Reduced Grain Rates.
STf PAUL. Aug. 13. The reduction In

Northern, stated tonight, within a week.
Mr. Hill and his party returned here from

ers. This saving Is represented In the
total of the reduction In grain and mer
chandise rates which we have made since
