ZONE MUST ABIDE BY PRESENT CODE! Panama Omal Government to Con tinue.?>"o Clianee Till lJJio. r ? Washington, June 16.?Plans for a. permanent government on the canal zone will not be put into effect until the formal opening of the canal in January, 1915, Secretary Garrison announced today. In th-e meantime 7nnp trnvernment will continue as 'heretofore, with such modifications as changing conditions may demand. Secretary Garrison has conferred frequently during the past week wi:h Col. Goethals, chairman of the isthmian canal commisfnon, and he has asked the colonel to submit from tim*> to time recommendations as to the organization of a permanent government. It is practically certain that the government will continue to operate the Panama railroad after the canal is completed, Secretary Garrison said, as it would be necessary to have a means for the transportation of troops and supplies in the event tfte canai snouia ue out ui cuxumission at any time. The future of the railroad will be considered at a meeting of the directors to be held here next Thursday. FARM SCHEDULE CHANGED. Another Shakeup in Agrienlture Rfctes.?Extends Free List Washington, June 16.?The much mooted agricultural schedule of the Underwood tariff bill was upset again when the majority of the senate finance committee late today adopted a motion to reconsider its action taken earlier in the day, approving the free listing of live stock and wheat, [ subject to a countervailing duty. nrnnncal now is to Strike OUt I Jl lie pi w ? the provision for a countervailing du:y and leave cattle, sheep and hogs and wheat on the free list unrestricted. Members of the committee said tonight that this probably would be done by the majority. No reason for the change was announced. For weeks the equalization of agricultural raw products and finished products, which were differentiated in the Underwood bill, has been a prob lem for tne aemocrauc seuawis m Vnich President Wilson has taken an active interest. The house put meats and flour on the free list, leaving live stock and grains dutiable at 10 per- cent ad valorem and 10 cents a bushel respectively. To Equalize Rates.

They were of the opinion that all products Tvhich enter into the cost of living should go on the free list and President Wilson agreed with them. Senator Simmons communicated this information to the subcommittee and it reconsidered its action, placing all these products on the free list. Later it was announced that the committee vrould add a countervailing duty clause which would | make the products free 6nly from countries which did not make them dutiable from this country. This would operate against the free 3ntry of live stock from such countries as Canada and the Argentine republic. Enlarges Free List The committee today further enlarged the free list by voting to take hemp and ramie from the dutiable list. The Underwood bill rates on flax w-?re from 1 to 11-2 cents per pound and on hemp and ramie from 1-2 to 1 cent per pound. It was argued that these products should class with other producis of the farm and that by free listing them the cost of living might be beneficially aff-ecied. Rates on finished products from these materials were substantially reduced. It also was decided not to consider the amendment proposed by Senator Hitchcock wrhich would provide a graduated revenue tax on the output of tobacco. The amendment followed suggestions made by Attorney General McReynolds which the administration did not see fit to endorse at this time. "Ranann^ which have never been subject to a tariff tax, were put on the dutiable lis: by action of the committee. To encourage 'American growers was given as the reason. Despite many protests against the cuts in the citrus fruit rates made in the house bill, the senate committee left the schedule as it was. Xo change was made in the liquor sc'hedul-e, but it was 1- ft open for amendment. Senator Fomerene asking to be heard tomorrow 0:1 the matter. SHOT AT FROM AMBUSH AM) HOUSE SET AFIRE Unusual Experience of Louisville Man Who Defies His Enemy to 3Ieet Him in the Open. ? Louisville, Kv., June 17.?Fire which last night threatened to destroy the home of G. W. Kelley, a contractor who lives alone in the southern part of the city, disclosed the fact that he has an anonymous and unscrupulous enemy. Waste paper h^d been heaped about the house by the incendiary and set ablaze. Kelley blames the same miscreant for three other similar fires that have started in his house in the past six months. He told the police that he had been shot at from ambush twice in the last few months, one bullet grazing his scalp and the other plowing through the flesh of 'his arm. He expressed his contempt for his unidentifi-ed enemy last night, quaintly declaring: "There ain't no man bold and gallant enough to meet me in the open and r;m me out of the country." LEGESD ABOUT BOXES. From Earliest Times They Have Inspired Curious Beliefs. Legend, tradition and history, sacred and profane, testify to many curious beliefs about the bones, from the earliest civilization to the present.

There is also some evidence of their similar use in prehistoric times. What is believed to be the oldest known fetish is The thigh bone of a mammoth in a cavern of the later cave dwellers of Belgium, which is preserved in the Museum of natural History in Brussels, says the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. Ancient Babylonians preserved the bones of their dead with great care. They were carefully gathered and placed in jars or under dish covers. C fiins, which later came into use, suggested by their shape the original jars for the preservation of the bones. Assyrian conquerors opened the graves of their enemies and carried away their bones or scattered them. Prof. Morris Jastrow suggests that when earth burial succeeded to the earlier cremation with the Babylonians, it was because of the better opportunity it afforded for providing for the safety of the bones. The oldest writings of the prop'hets and historians of the Hebrews contain passages showing the importance and sanctity with which the bones of the body were regarded by them. When the Moabite corpse was let down into the sepulchre of Elis'ha and 'touched .hie drv honps. lifp in "him that was a corpse, revived and he stood on his feet. The terrible cuVse pronounced by Jeremiah was that the bones of the kings and princes and priests and prophets and inhabitants of Jerusalem should be brought out of the graves, and not be gathered or buried. The most serious of the transgressions of Moab was .that he 'burned the bones of the King of T7</3?tv. ? 1-i?~ ~r\ J t- - i - >- - i jljuisiu. ij-li.u n^uc. j^ctviu xia.u tne Dones of Saul and Jonathan taken away from the men of Jabesh-Gilead and deposited in the sepulchre of Kish, Saul's father, to obtain relief when famine prevailed.

They assumed the existence of a mysterious bone which formed the nucleus of the resurrection of the 1 J TT?L -11- J - - - uuuy. wnetner mis Done, wnicn iney called luz, was destroyed in the flood was an unsettled question with their learned men. Some of them, who held that it was, found possibility for a resurrection of the antediluvians. It is told in ihe Talmud of the Emperor Hadrian that he once asked Rabbi Joshua ben Channania, "From what shall the human body be constructed when it rises again?" "From the little bone luz, in the backbone," the rabbi replied. When the emperor demanded proof of it the rabbi took the bone and steeped in water, but it was not softened; be put it in the fire, but it was not consumed; he put it in a mill- hilt it PATtlr? nr>+ "ho orr>/Mir\<l .

In the dispute over the exact location of this elusive part of the body no satisfactory agreement was reach ed. It was claimed to be th lower end of the spin-' and also 'he spine's other extremity. Others located it in the skull or in the great toe. With more unanimity it was repr-sented to be about the size of a shelled pea. It is worthy of note in connection with the location of the bone of life by the Hebrews in the sutures of the skull, that there was a belief among uneducated Mohammedans that a man's; fate was written upon his skull. It is interes.ing to recall the fact that thousands of years before the learned rabbi demonstrated to the Roman emperor that the spinal column was the seat ol the indestructible bone in t'he human body, the Egyptians had an amulet known as the Tet or Det, which symbolized the backbone of ?. j ?_ A v-? ^ ^ Ubirib, cliiU Will'CU iltf.U UtJCJLl UfcCU ILL putting together the pieces of the god, whom his wicked brother had chopped into fragments. After long search Isis ciscovered and gathered these remains, and with the Tet as a backbone, they were set up again in:o the body of Osiris. This became a symbol o:: the hughest religious significance with the Egyptians and the ! most solemn ceremony penormea in the worship of Osiris was this of putting the body together and reconstructing it around the backbone. It i was annually celebrated at Busiris, where that part of the body was kept as a sacred relic. Herodotus refers to this festival, observing that Egyptian men and women beat themselves after ;he sacrifice, but that it was not proper for him to divulge on whose account it was done, and the Carians slashed foreh-eads with knives. This amulet j became a memorial of the resurrec1 tion of Osiris. A chapter in their book | of :he dead was devoted to it, in which tVio rloncfi carl cavs- "Pisp lin thmi O j still heart! thou hast the fastening of ; thy neck and back." The Tet had to (be dipped in the water and laid upon ! the neck of the dead, when it gave , him the power to reconstitute the | j body and become a perfect spirit in | the underworld. Bonfire is bonefire in old English and doubtless means as ordinally understood, a fire that had bones in it. Like other ancient rires, the primary purpose in its inception is not easily divined. That is was connected with the worship of Baal is probable, and when Christianity succeeded paganism the honor associated with it was transferred to St. John. Much has been written about the observance and 1 significance of these rites in Europe | and elsewhere during many centuries. | That health, happiness and prosperity were associated with them in the minds of the people is a well-known fact. They danced around the fires, and men, children and their cattle passed through them. The midsummer fire in Ireland, according to the learned antiquary, Black, was not thought to insure any good fortune unlass a hone was burned in it. In some places a horse's head was essential to a successful ceremony. An old homolist, writing on the festival of St. John. ?avs: "Wves clerkes know est well that dragons hate no thyng mor-e than the stenche of brennynge bones, and therefore they gaderyd as many as they might fynde, and brent them; and so with the stenche thereof they drove away the dragons and were brought out of great dysease."' To symbolize and stimulate the sun, increase its activity, ana maKe tne crops grow and the harvest abundant was apparently the purpose, to a certain extent at least, of the rite. Did the use of the bones in them have any deeper significance? Were they substitutes for living beings, animal or human? In summing up t'he evidence, ancient and modern, Prof. Frazer reaches the conclusion that it this annual festival among the Celts and Gauls living men representing the spirit of vegetation were inclosed in wicker frames and burn:-d. Belief in the prophetic power of the bones survives in our willingness ! to accept the finding of a wishbope of | a fowl as the harbi.nger of good fortune, and ir. scapulimancy, the art of ! fnro tpiiinqr thp future iby the should erblade of a sheep or other animal. North American Indians used the fiat bone of a porcupine to find out if a hunt would prove successful. There is an Irish story of a skull of an animal which he found on the beach, had revealed to him the fate of Breccan and his 50 coracles that were shipwrecked ofl.' Raihlin Island. African witch doctors threw up three rarved bones, and from their i position as the}' fell were able to make (prophecies. An official handbook of : the Chinese tells how the bones of a 'parent may be identified by one of I his children by cutting himself and allowing his blood to drip on the bones, when, if the relationship exists, the blood will sink into the bones, and if otherwise, it will not.

Swedish and Scotch folk songs tell of a musician that made a harp of the breastbone and pegs of the fingers of a murdered maiden, whose slayer was killed by the first stroke of the 'harp, and a whistle of the bone of a slain brother, which, every time it was blown, published the crime. The native priests of the Carib tribe used a human bone as an oracle, in which they claimed the soul of the deceased dwell and communicated with them, and they used it in their prophecies.
