IS CHANGED TO READ “UNDERWORLD”; Revised for Truth. Not Beauty of Language. Says Leader of Church. I 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.

They de clare they are anxious that the child be 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 bies. The four-days-old child has a 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, too.

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.

ELOPING PAIR HAPPY WHEN SHIP STOPS TO TAKE THEM ABOARD NEW YoRK, Nov. 20.-—Just as the steamer Ontba, bound for Bermuda, was drawing out of her pier today a young man and woman who said they were Joseph R. Hoover and wife, an eloping couple from Chicago, dashed up in a taxicab. Without taking time to pay the driver, they rushed toward the pier end. The Oruba was stopped and the elop ers taken on board in a very happy frame of mind.

"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 church. "Don't eat anything but good, whole some food.

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. PAULINE WAYNE MUST GO, TOO; NONA OF AVON WILL BE WILSON’S COW k MILWAUKEE, Nov. 20.—Paulina Wayne, the white house cow presented to President Taft by Senator Stephen son. of Wisconsin, will go into oblivion with the present national administra tion.

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. Andrew Carnegie attended the ses i sion. HOHL IPITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE £* O r E no INS SAVE 100 GIRLS IN Nil « $75,000 Blaze in Washington, Ga., Convent Starts as Sis ters and Charges Sleep. G 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: Misses Leta Bricken, Elizabeth Mill er. Mildred Sault. Cecile McCarty. Dor othy Bailey.
