NEW YORK, Nov. lv. —First copies of
the revised edition ’>f the Bible published
by the American Baptist Publication so- |
ciety has reached the soe’ety’w headquar
ters at No. 23 East Twenty-six ii street.
' The new edition is a radical departure in
I its construct L i from th** language useG
| in the King James version.
I In the new Bible the names “Auani and
I Eve" do noc appear. Their place Is taken
* by the words “man" < nd “woman,” which
I is a direct translation of the old Hebrew
I names. The word “hell" is eliminated,
’ “underworld” being inserted in its places.
’ Other great changes are made. The
j story of Jonah and the whale is changed
i so that the words “great fish" —as being a
nearer interpretation of the ancient
Hebrew- :ake the ’place of "whale." "Je
hovah thy God" takes the place of “Lord
thy God.’ "Carved’ replaces “graven,"
and th*' word “immersed" in parentheses
follows the word baptize in every in
stance. In the new edition the Lord’s
prayer become 3:
I ‘ Our Father who art in heaven, hal
| lowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. |
i Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on
earth. Give as this day our daily bread.
I And forgive us our debt, as we also have
| forgiven our debtors. And bring us not
into temptation, but deliver us from the
i evil one. Amen."
Owing to its recent arrival none of the
i Baptist ministers seen would commit
themselves to an expression of opinion
concerning the new edition, saying that
they had not yet had an opportunity to
study it. one of them when asked
whether he thought the charm of the old
English phraseology would not be spoiled
by the alterations, replied that the aim
of the society had been to produce an ab
solutely correct Bible, irrespective of
| any eharm of language.

adopted at once, so they will not be
burdened with Its care
Richards is 26 and his wife 23. Both
are healthy and have ample means to
provide for the baby. Their only stated
reason for wanting to dispose of the
child is that they do not care for ba

cold. When Richards was asked wheth
er he would call a doctor to attend it,
he said:
I "No; that's up to those that adopt It.
They can name it and buj - clothes for it,

PEACHTREE OPEN
I _—»
i Atlantans Hasten to Renew Ac
quaintance With Thorough
fare After Many Moons.
Joy is unconflned in Peachtree street
today. The part between Harris and
Baker streets, which was torn up for so
many months, has been reopened to
traffic as a beautifully paved street.
No more will autoist, nondescript ve
hicles and depestrlans have to travel a
winding way to and from the city. The
trollej’ cars are now able to travel full
speed on the street they have been
forced to creep along on for half a
year while belated business men gritted
their teeth in impatience. And the
business houses there have assumed
their normal importance as shopping
places.
The citizens sighed today in their re
| lief, for it has been a long, long wait
| they have suffered.
The citizens are to get still further
consideration, however. The finance
committee- of council has under con
sideration an application to repair the
{asphalt on Peachtree street to the city
! limits. Chief of Construction Clayton
! informed the committee that the appro
i priation was imperative.
I With the completion of the Peachtree
; street work by the county, the ordi
i nance of council to regrade and repave
; Ivy street becomes effective.
I But before this work can begin the
I property owners must pay into the city
treasury $30,000 as a 'loan to defray part
of the cost of the work. Then retain
ing walls must be built where the grade
is to be raised. After that the county
commissioners will bo informed that
they can begin the grading work.

"Don’t envy your neighbor.
"Don't overdress; that is, don't dress
flashily, whether you have the means or
not, for that will cause envy and jeal
ousy to be aroused in others.
"Don't fail to dress warm. In cold
weather low-cut gowns and the vanity
of some women cause many deaths.
"Don’t fail to go to church. The
church needs you and you need the

"Don't eat anything but good, whole
some food. Home cooking is the best.
WATSON NOT TO BE
REARRESTED UPON
U. S. INDICTMENT
AUGUSTA, GA., Nov. 20.—Thomas
E. Watson, the Thomson editor, will
not be real rested by the Federal au
thorities following his indictment by
a Federal grand jury here late yes
terday afternoon. The bail which he
is now under will hold until March
17, when the Federal court reconvenes.
The grand jury was not discharged by
Judge Emory Speer, and all of the
members were ordered to report back
next March.
It is said there was a division In the
grand jury over finding an indictment
and that barely the necessary number
voted to Indict the Thomson editor. In
the Federal court twelve grand jurors
must vote in favor of an indictment in
order to return a true bill. The maxi
mum number on the grand jury is 23
and the minimum is 18.
One portion of the Indictment reads:
"Said publication Is so obscene as to
be offensive to the court if set forth
herein, and Improper to be spread upon
the records of the court.”
Watson was indicted on three counts,
i charging him with sending obscene
I matter through the United States mail,
in violation of the postal laws. The |
i prosecution grows out of Watson’s pub
lished attacks on the Roman Catholic
church. ,
MINISTER AUTOIST
IS ACCUSED AGAIN
BY CHURCH WOMEN
STERLING, ILL., Nov. 20 Rev. Charles
Raymond, pastor of the First Lutheran
church of Peoria, who was the subject of
an investigation, conducted by the North
ern Illinois synod In this city last year,
is again undergoing an Investigation. The
charges last year were brought by Mrs.
Katherine Howland, a former member of
his church, charging him with affairs
with the women of the church. The syn
od found him not guilty at that time.
The new charges are similar in their
sensational character and also charge the
minister with living beyond his means,
maintaining an automobile and the largest
collection of diamonds in Peoria on an
SBO9 salary. The committee named by |
the president of the synod to conduct I
th> investigation Is composed of Revs. I
Dornblazer. Keller ami Bram-amp, of Chi- i
eago: T. B. Holtgrleve, of Washington,
111., and Howard Berliman, of Joliet.
The accused mmlster declares he courts i
investigation and believes the committee |
will rind the charges wore trumped up by
jealous women of his congregation.
"Don’t cheat in your business deal
ings. for sponer or later your conscience
will begin to troub’e you and later you
will worry yourself into your grave.
"Don't fall to be fair in all things
business and otherwise, and never kick
a man when he is down.
"Don’t forget that riches gained by
such acts you must leave behind some
day, and that when you do depart, if
your riches have been gained by these
means, you will find the doors of heav
en doubly bolted against you.
"Don’t forget to be charitable and
don’t falsify.
"Don't forget to take a lot of exer
cise, of which walking Is the best.
"Don’t forget to obey the laws of
God, for they were the first laws. By
so doing you will live as God had
wished you to live. 'Give unto Caesar
that which Is Caesar’s and unto God
that which is God's.’ ”
GOVERNOR UNABLE
TO LET CORN BOYS
USE COTS OF ARMY
Governor Brown has discovered that
he is prohibited positively by law from
permitting the boys corn clubs to use
the United States army cots, now In the
state’s custody in Atlanta, for sleeping
purposes while in convention here next
month.
It was proposed that these cots be
placed in the Auditorium-Armory dur
ing the convention for the use of the
visiting boys, and thus, In away, re
duce the expense of their trip to At-
Janta. The governor, after taking the
matter up with the war department,
was advised that he could not
permit the use of the cots without vio
lating the law, and he therefore de
clined today the request for the same.
The request had been submitted to
the executive through the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and that body
still hopes to find some way. to provide
cots for the corn club boys.

Mrs. A. H. Sayers Uses Her
Auto in Assisting Unfortu
nate Support Family.
It isn’t often that a blind broom
maker can boast of an automobile so
licitation. delivery and collection sys
tem, but James Baugh, blind from blrt h ,
who makes brooms at his home, 76 1-2
Carroll street, has found thia rare com
bination for the sale, delivery and col
lection of his wares In Mrs. A. H. Say
ers, of 12 West Pine street, and her
machine.
Baugh in away is a ward of the As
sociated Charities, for It was the asso
ciation that set him up as a broom
manufacturer. Mrs. Sayers Is an en
thusiastic volunteer worker for the As
sociated Charities. So It remained only
for Mrs. Sayers to learn of Baugh’s sit
uation to inaugurate the automobile
delivery.
Baugh had reasoned In this wise with
the authorities at the office of the As
sociated Charities:
"I can make brooms and make good
brooms, but I can’t sell them, because
I have no one to push the sale for me,
only my wife, who must stay home with
my two children.”
So when Mrs. Sayers, who has put
herself and her automobile at the dis
posal of work of the association, heard
Baugh’s complaint she instantly solved
hie problem for him.
"I can sell the brooms,” she said.
"I can take orders among my friends,
deliver the brooms In the machine and
collect for them.”
However, Baugh is but one of the
cases that daily confront the associa
tion. Its work could be more efficient
ly done If there were more automobiles
at the beck of its officials, or money to
take care of the Baughs and other of
Atlanta, who by incidental assistance
could become self-supporting.
On next Monday the Ad Men's club
will open the Associated Chartties’
Thanksgiving subscription campaign.
According to the Ad Men, It will be the
most successful campaign of Its kind
ever waged In Atlanta. The Ad Men
know that if the Associated Chartties
is to be a real force in Atlanta it must
have money, and the members of the
club expect to get it.
ANDREW CARNEGIE
ADDS $2,000,000.00 TO
FOUNDATION FUND
NEW YORK. Nov. 20. —The Carne
gie foundation for the advancement of
learning met here in annual session to
day to consider revision of conditions
■governing Carnegie pensions to college
and university presidets and profes
sors.
President Pritchett announced that
Carnegie had added $2,000,000 to the
fund since the last meeting, increasing
It to $1 1,000,000. Forty-eight profes
sors were, retired on pensions during
the past year, making 398 In all.
Secretary Clyde Furst, of the foun
dation, denied on behalf of the trus
tees that polities or any other outside
j cause had entered Into the refusal of
| the foundation to grant a pension to
Woodrow Wilson, now president-elect,
who applied for one two years ago. He
explained that conditions In Governor •
Wilson’s ease made it impossible to
grant the pension and conform with the
governing rules.

$75,000 Blaze in Washington,
Ga., Convent Starts as Sis

PUPIL AROUSED BY SMOKE
COOLLY SOUNDS ALARM
f !
Anxious mothers waited Impatiently
this afternoon for the arrival of a group
of Atlanta girls who were near death Jtj
a fire which destroyed the main build
ings of St. Josephs academy at Wash*
Ington, Ga., early this mornings.
The Atlanta girls were just a few of
the more than four score who owe
their lives to the rare heroism of twd
modest, shrinking sisters of the veil
who crept through a choking, terrifying
pall of smoke to wake them as they
slept in St. Josephs and led them t<j
safety as the beautiful school crumbled
to ashes in a $75,000 blaze.
The two nuns—shrinking from the
busy, thoughtless world, but dauntless
In the face of death—turned their
charges over to sister nuns and kindly
neighbors, and as the last star twin
kled faintly in a leaden sky, crept into
the little church that stands a hundred
yards away from the school to offer up
an humble, heart-felt prayer.
Girl’s Coolness
Averts Panic.
Four-score girls, from all parts <#
Georgia and the South, lay ask. • in
the dormitory of the biggest Catholic
girls’ school in the state at 3 o’clock
this morning, until one of them awoke,
gasping for breath. Tlie smell of smoke
caine to her nostrils and she was wide
awake in an instant, alarmed, but alert.
The girl was Miss Jennie Hollens
head, of Washington, Ga., and to her
coolness, as well as the bravery of the
nuns, may be credited the escape from
what might easily have been a dreadful
tragedy. The girl surmised fire, and
pictured immediately the panic that
might ensue among four-score girls,
aroused In the dead of night to face a
blaze the roar of which came threat
eningly to her ears even as she hesi
tated a moment.
She leaped from her bed and amused
two nuns in an adjoining room, who,
cool and unterrified, despite the thick:
smoke, proceeded to the serious task oC
getting their young charges out into the
open and away from the approaching
peril without a panic.
A they awoke each girl, they wh!s<
pered a word of assurance, and In ai
lon, frightened, huddling line the young
women, clad only in their night clothes,
crept out into the chill night. And as
they shivered together In a sort of ter*
ror-stricken thankfulness, nuns anct
hitherto light-hearted girls knelt a mo*
ment In hurried, fervent player.
Building’ Grumbles
As They Kneel in Prayer.
As they offered up their thanks, th*
flames, which had by this time crept
from the boiler and recreation rooms
steadily upward, broke through the
roof, which fell in with a crash. Th*
blaze ate its way through two buildings,
the dormitory and the main school
building, leaving but a pile of ruins hr
its wake.
A feeble effort to stay the flames was
made. Fire fighting facilities were in*
adequate and there never was a chanca
of saving the main buildings. Before
they had crumbled, however, nuns and
of the furniture in the new chapel and
neighbors had succeeded in saving most
seven of the twelve pianos In the musio
room. The library and Its valuable con.
tents also escaped the flames.
The refugees were given shelter in
nearby homes and at the three hotels in
Washington, while the nuns sought
shelter in the orphanage, which Is run
as a part of the Catholic institution.
Father McMahan said the loss would
exceed $75,000, part of which was cov
ered by insurance.
Move On to Start
Girls’ School Here.
It was decided to send the young
fctlks home and most of them, in clothes
supplied by kindly neighbors, left on
early trains. Among them were the
girls from Atlanta, who included the
following:
