Panama Omal Government to Con

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.
The senate finance subcommittee,
soon after receiving the schedule,
agreed to equalize the rates . and
eventually voted to make the raw materials
and the finished products all

aunaoie. i\u suuuci
elusion been reached than Senator
Simmons and other democratic members
of the finance committee determined
that ;be problem would not be
settled rightly if left that way. 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. As

inspired confidence in their ability to
do incredible things for good or evil
with the supernatural. 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

The later rabbinical literature of
the Hebrews testified to their belief
that the imperishable part of man,
the soul, had its seat in the bones.
They assumed the existence of a
mysterious bone which formed the
nucleus of the resurrection of the

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

laid on the anvil and smote it with a
hammer, hut the hammer broke and
the anvil fell to pieces.
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-? ^ ^

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. The

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.
