"Why doe not Mr. Heney produce bis

personally or officially T I do not know
that J want to discuss the question any

Senator Fulton. "Heney baa never said

is he has nothing. He does not know

"Heney is basing h)s insinuations. I

By Sam W. Small Jr.
(Hetrtt Newt by longeit Lciied Wire.)
Detroit, Mich., Jan. i- Locked up in
a vault In thl plcy and carefully tem
pered by an atmosphere artificially
charged to represent tile warm and dry
climate of the plain of ancient Egypt,
in whose sands it reposed for centuries,
is what 1 believed to be the most pre
cious set of manuscript ever , brought
to this aide of the world;
To every believer in the Christian
faith in the world this manuscript has
a personal and Intimate value. To every
Biblical student or tne worm it ais-
oovery is a new and precious miracle.
In fact, the manuscript 1 one of the
freatest or modern miracles, for in II
he irentle Christ sneak axaln sneaks
In word, lost and forgotten for. 1,100
aoouc tot genuineness or tne manu
script there must be a doubt even in
the minds of devoted students, a -there
would be doubt concerning a modern
miracle until the weight of testimony
established its truenes.
, Genuine Manuscript. .,
But not a student nor Archaeological
authority who ha been permitted to
view and glanoe through the precious
manuscript ha any llria-erine: doubt that
he ha been permitted to behold a Bible
of Greek text, authentically copied with
in i wo or inree oen tunes arter me na-
rlod of Christ, and miraculouslv ore-
served, not-only -froro-the fiery, furnace
to ,wnicn .tne Moslem noraes consigned
the world's greatest collection of manu
scripts when the wonderful librarv at
Alexandria waa stripped and It con
tent aestroyea, out rrom tiie ravage of
time itself in the treasure casket of
Egypt's sand.-
juven tne existence or this manu
script had not been hinted at three or
four days ago. But now from everv
country - ana every ciime wnere men
worship the God of the Christians and
Hi son, Jesus, Inquiries are pouring In
by letter,- telegram and cable, asking
that the light of It text be allowed to
Illume the world, and that it be allowed
to stand forth and correct such error
a have at times been made the'Wean-
ons oi me enemies or tne religion. -
The discovery of the manuscript,
combining the Ideal romance of archae
ologist concerned with Its transfer from
the hands of a Moslem, who scorned the
book, but knew its value; the Journey of
tne manuscripts rrom ugypt to Acadia
in the middle of the United States,
where a writing of its antiquity on the
suoject treated would never ne sought,
and its final discovery to the world,
firematurely to the plans of those most
nterested all form one of the most
marvelous stories of famous archaeol
ogical and Biblical discoveries since men
began to trace back the steps of those
who had gone before and dig from the
ground for burled treasures.
Owned by Art Collector.
At the present time the manuscript
of the Bible is. owned by Charles a
Freer, a noted art collector and expert
in oriental potteries, lacquers, etc., of
this city, and is believed to be second to
none in -existence. It appears to be
more perfect in preservation and com
pleteness than the famous Alexandrian
manuscript, the true arch and body of
the modern Bible. The latter manu
script Is the most precious possession
of the British museum, and has been
the text for the study of generations of
the foremost Bible students.
It is not In its comparison and the
observation of variants In the two text
that the Freer manuscripts find their
greatest value, but In the fact that they
will supplant the Alexandrian menu-

Vancouver, B. C, Jan. 4. Watching
eac. other 11 Re angry animal the- white
and brown elements that go to make up
the 10.000 DecDle . In Vancouver are
awaiting the action of the police court
on the three Imprisoned Japanese, who
are charged .with murderously assault
ing tnree .remeii new rears nay, De
fer making another hostile move. -But
both aides are preparing for the con
flict which IS generally, believed- cer
tain to come sooner or later. It Is esti
mate, that three hundred strange Jap
anese bave entered Vancouver since
January 1. Hardly had the news of the
attack upon the white men reached the
lumber camo and the-American cities
on the sound before the silent Nippon
ese began to commence slipping, into
the cltv. The Jaoaneee boarding houses
are over-crowded and many are In pri
vate Japanese homes. On -the other
hand the chief of police ha began lay
ing plan for an increase in the force
that patrols the Japanese section. The
news that ISO Japanese are due to ar
rive In Vancouver from Hawaii soon
has-created some excitement, especially
In the Japanese quarter where the pros-)
pect of reinforcement Is an agreeable
one? - .
Official action on the part of the
city council is expected Monday night.
Alderman McSpadden ha announced
that he will move that the police force
search the houses of all Japanese for
firearms. If this resolution passes, and
it 1 being backed by the labor element.
It may mark uie reopening or me noia.
The Japanese are very sensitive In re
gard to the privacy of their home. In
September the Japanese made no active
resistance to Fowler's rioter until they
attempted to storm tneir nome. -men
they swarmed out like angry hornets,
arm Art with beer bottles, and put ex-
cluslonist to flight. Rev. O. Kabu-
ragl, a Japanese Methodist minister, has
secured by subscription among the Jap
anese 1100 which he wishes to give the
firemen as a donation to repay their
medical expenses. It may not be ac
cepted. ,
Seeking probably to turn aside the
tide of public opinion that has swept
o strongly against them since the at
tempted murder of the city, firemen,
prominent Japanese business men this
morning collected $100 In gold and
despatched thl with a bouquet to the
chief of the fire department to be sent
to the injured men in the hospital. The
chief promptly returned both gifts.
The Japanese stated in their letter
that they deeply sympathised with the
injured men ana wouia assise ine ponce
In bringing the guilty persona to Justice.
When this waa going on, Japanese busi
ness man from the same Quarter of .the
city were signing ball bonds for $8,000

Jananese who had been arrested on the
Charges or attempted tnuraer.
