Special Dispaeh to The Call. NEW YORK, May 3.—The world was recentl startled by the publication of a cientific treatise by Paul Vignon mous shroud of Christ, now pre- t Turin, and the Herald is, by of the author, permitted to re- s of the book. He ex- pressed his opinion that the shroud in question was the real winding sheet wherein the Savior's body had rested dur- | ing the period between the descent from | the cross and the resurrection. He in- rsmed that what has been considered by | served courtes; some as a fraud, by others as 2 miracle— the outline of a human figure on the cloth —is merely an extraordinary accident, | fully explicable by science: { In his opinion a human body, in its ex- | halations in the throes of death and sub- sequent to decomposition, may liberate | gases which act upon a cloth prepared as | the Hebrews prepared winding sheets in | exactly the same way as the photographic | processes knowfi to all of us act upon a | sensitized plate, | His arguments are supported by Pro- fessors ge Lage and Coison of Paris, and have even been accepted by so conserva- live a medical authority as the London Lancet. It is believed that the holy shroud is identical with the grave ciothes men- tioned by St. John in his story of the cru- cifixion and burial: Then they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen ciothes, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.—xix:40. The body 80 enwrapped they placed in a sepulcher, in the garaen on Calvary. St. John, in his twentieth chapter, goes on to tell us how, when Mary Magdalene and the disciples, whom she had hastily sum- mo: aiscovered that Christ's body had | been stolen, as they supposed, from the | sepulcher, “they noted that .the linen clothes lay within the tomb, the napkin that was about his head not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. ‘Iradition affirms tha‘ Mary Magdalene and her friends piously preserved these clothes and that they were in safe keep- l_flg v.'hqgg Jegusa)em was captured by tus. Then they were carefull; by the Christians. Eise In 1694 the cloth, on which was visible a representation of the figure of Christ, be- came the property of the House of Savoy and found its permanent resting place in a chapel connected with the Cathedral of | 8t. John the Baptist at Turin. Here it has remained, hidden from the public eye, in the interior of a metallic coffer, whose locks cannot be opened save by roval au- thorization—end episcopal permission.

ST. PAUL, May 3—The Great Northern. has nearly completed the arrangements necessary for the sAipping of lumber and shingles over that Hne from Pacific Coast points to territory reached by way of Bili- ings, Mont. It nas been practically de-! cided that the tariffs governing such shipments shail become effective on Mon- day, but agents have been notified to | make no quotations until word is received from the general offices. The effect of | the new arrangements will be to make all | points competitive and place mill men on the Great Northern lines in a position to ship to a region hitherto denied them.

MUSIGAL STARS COME TOD HIGH London Playhouses May Raise the Prices of Admission. | Claim That the Expenses Are Disproportionate to ths Receipts. LONDON, May 3.—English theater | goers are mightily worked up over George Edwardes’ suggestion to raise the price of admittance to the stalls in London playhouses from 10s 3d to 12s 6d. He holds that the increased amounts paid to musi- cal comedy stars and the cost of produc- ing up-to-date pieces of that nature are quite disproportionate to the receipts. To remedy this Edwardes advocates an agreement between the London managers increasing the price of the best seats by two shillings. Beer#Ohm Tree disagrees witl Edwardes and in so doing sounds a He says: I would like to see the prices reduced in- stead of raised, the idea being that the latter er- 1 am contented with a modest com- petency, but I do want people to attend the theater 'in even larger number than now. Look at America. The whole ground floor of the theater is given up to stalls at a uniform price of $1 50, though In America theater-going is as much’a duty as golf and football is with us. The report that Elsie Fay, the Ameri- can actress, will be married in England to a young baronet, sald to be George Lionel Prescott, a lieutenant in the Sec- ond Life Guards, who was born in 1875 and owns an estate of 4000 acres, has been revived by To-day. “She does not propose,” continues the article, ““to retire from the stage, but will probably forsake the music hails for a West End theater under her immediate control.” Meanwhile the subject of the gossip is in Paris, where the other day she created a \furor by unexpectedly conducting a band of music in a well-known cafe, to | the huge delight of the audience.

Surgeon Ledbetter Describes the Events Leading to Their Arrest. Special Dispatch to The Call. TRIESTE, Austria-Hungary, May 3.— The United States cruiser Chicago arrived here at noon from Venice. The usual ex- change of salutes took place. Private dispatches from Venice say the cruiser Chicago will proceed to Naples, May 13, and that she will there be joined by the battleship udinois, the flagship of the United States European squadron, on board of which vessel the officers of the Chicago who were arrested and impris- oned in Venice will be tried by court- martial. Another United States cruiser, these dispatches further say, is expected to ar- rive at Venice shortly. She will moor outside the St. Mark dock. NEW YORK, May 4—The Journal prints a Venice cablegram giving the following account by Dr. Ledbetter, assistant sur- geon of the cruiser Chicago, of the arrest of the navak officers: I was with Captain Wynne in the Cafe Au- rora about 11:30 o'clock at night, when we were startled by cries in English outside. We ran out and saw Lieutenants Doddridge and Chatan surrounded by a menacing crowd of several hundred. As we emerged we acci- dentally upset some . tables. Then the crowd surrounded us menacingly. A policeman seized my arm and the crowd continued to menace us. I noticed two clvillans raising sticks to strike me. 1 defended myself with my stick, which got broken. We could not understand the cause of the mob's fury as we da not know Italian. The police made no attempt to defend us from the attack of the crowd and we were slightly in- jured. I learn several civillans were slightly hurt. "'Mr. Doddridge tells me he had been with Chatan in the Restaurant Angelo. Chatan, rather worse for wear, became nolsy and the proprietor ordered him to depart and called the police. Doddridge led Chatan toward _the Plazza dl San Marco, where he expeated to find other Americans, The crowd followed, denouncing the Ameri- cans and striking them with sticks and with their fists. Doddridge and Chatan defended themselves as well as possible. The police did not. Interfere to protect them. When Dod- dridge and Chatan approached the Cafe Au- { Tora we heard the noise and ran out to in- | vestigate. Then we became embrofled in the ro w. Langley, the marine, heard the noise and ran up to the rescue. Then-we all were ar- rested. Coming to Study Our Shipyards.

LONDON, May 3.—There have been some interesting developments in the bat- tle between the American millionaires for the control of London’s rapid transit sys- tem. One feature that stands out more than any other is Charles T. Yerkes’ abil- ity to beat English lawyers at their own game. Counsel for the Morgans’ projected “‘tube” line had Yerkes on the stand be- fore the House of Lords committee for an hour or so one day this week. Yerkes sat passive, ingeniously answering or dodging questions relating to the financial plans of his own syndicate. Finally he calmly remarked to counsel: “I have been listen- ing to your explanations of this matter,” at which counsel hurried to correct the witness by dcclafing that he had only been asking questions. But Yerkes, im- perturbably and hugely amused at the committee, continued: “And it seems to me that you have certain information which I myself at this moment do not possess.” ’ With a smile, Yerkes admitted that he was largely interested in the financial and_ operating departments of the new road, and without a trace of apparent malice he added: “I do not care to teach kindergarten schools here.” The Morgans had questioned the cor- rectness of the figures upon which Yerkes based the returns of his system, but Yerkes blandly waved aside such details, saying that he had not his notes. He would, however, be delighted to solve the sums 'in arithmetic submitted to him by opposing counsel if they would allow him to bring notes referring to such abstruse matters from his office. Finally the Chi- cagoan was dismissed, somewhat disgust- edly, with the remark: “As you don't want to be sent back to school, I will not ask you any more questions,” and Yerkes went out, smiling grimly. Famous Cross Reared Again. SANTA CLARA, May 3.—The old Mis- sion cross, blown down in the high wind of March 1, was set in position again to- day with appropriate ceremonles. The Rev. Robert E. Kenna, Santa Clara College, delivered the dress, and was assisted by the Rev. A. V. Raggio, S. J., pastor of Saint Claire’s Church.
