BIBLE MIRACLE EVIDENCE FOUND London, —(UP) — Material evidence of two of the most spectacular miracles of the Bible has been gathered by British archeologs s. according to messages from Palestine. Professor John Garstang. leader of the Jericho expedition financed by Sir Charles Marston, has reportad tha' the collapse of the walls of Jericho before the Jewish hosts! Ijnder Joshua was apparently due to an earthquake. Hhe based his Jlteory upon the discovery that the walls of the city hud fallen outward fn places in a mi r r which suggested seismic disturbances. The same na.urul phenomenon accounts for the drying up of the Jordan for the Jews to cross, he bclives. The expedition, he says has ‘ gathered evidence that the clay banks of the river caved in near M Damieh at about the period described in the Bible. Sir Charles Marston, who has financed three expeditions to conKrm«the authenticity of Bible records, believes this naturalistic explanation of the misacles really corroborates the biblical description. > .« , ■ ' r -o I GOVERNMENT TO MOI’ UP REST OF BEER GANG tCGNHNUED PROM PAGE ONE) Acting under orders from Washington. the government agents descended almost simultaneously on many underworld resorts in “Capone's Badlands." the district Immediately surrounding State and 22nd streets.

i dition to Capone defrauded the; ) government in neglecting to mail) ! their income tax returns,” said; I Madden. The same overwhelming mass ! of evidence which put sudden fear ' of the law into Capone likewise is ! available against his 08 hirelings, federal agents pointed out. "Scarface Al's" plea of guilty was believed to have served to strengthen i the case against them. i Meanwhile, Capone s reputation: as a "trader” took another slump) when federal officials denied dell-1 nitely that the gang leader had i 'made a deal with them.’’ i “We have made no promise to l.e easy with Capone." said Assis-1 taut District Attorney Victor Li i Rue. wlio pressed the liquor conspiracy indictment against hitn.l In pleading guilty, he simply i threw himself on the mercy of.the court, and we see no reason why he should be granteiT any unusual amount of leniency.” Federal Judge James H. Wilk-1 erson therefore may mete out any sentence he deems proper, within the legal limits, when Capone j i appears before him June 30. The I maximum punishment which the gangster may receive is 34 years 1 at hard labor and fines totalling $90,000 on both prohibition and income tax charges. ■ Such severe sentences neveri I have been imposed, however, and j Capone’s term probably will be < much shorter —probably from two and one-half to five years imprisonment and a slo,dofr fine. - ! Attorney General William D. Mitche’l and Prohibition Director Amos W. W. Woodcock were understood to have authorized the federal agents to begin serving < warrants on Capone's co-defend-ants. The raids were intended to catch the gangsters off their guard and before they have time to re- : organize. Officers from the Chicago police department and the sheriff s office were expected to join in the raids I today. _o arrivals Mr. and Mrs. C. F.

Mr. Hoover has been seen by several hundred thousand persons. ■ counting in those congregating ) around his train at brief stops.

I In his address at the re-dedica-|B I tlon of Lincoln's tomb, the Presi- 1 I dent made a veiled reference to, I Capone’s downfall, a thing he has,l been frequently credited with play-J ■ ing no small part in himself. B “There can be no man in our B country who either by his position :B 'or his influence stands above the I law,'' the President said. "That the I Republic cannot admit and still B i live. For ours is a government of I laws and a society of ordered lib- | erty safeguarded only by law." | His Springfield speech at the I tomb of Lincoln, was regarded as I the last touch in Mr. HotAer’s open- I ing up of debate leading to next I year's presidential election. I At Indianapolis, the President set I the key for the Republican cam- I paign treatment of the depression. I blaming it chiefly to Europe and the I war aftermath. He also declared I more openly for the tariff than ever I before, and threw up the party de- I tensive against proposals for de-'l pression relief out of the federal I treasury. I At Marion, where he and former I President Coolidge dedicated thejl Harding memorial. Mr. Hoover: I broke the long silence of the White I House regarding the Harding ad-11 ministration. He denounced the [I men who he declared had betrayed I Harding and acquitted Harding! himseff cf all except the most hon- I orable motives. His remarks were I considered by many as intended to I bury permanently the oil scandals J as a political issue.

The windows are large and it wasn’t difficult. When we were inside, the man made me go upstairs into the main auditorium. Three other men were waiting ior j us. These men also had handkerchiefs tied over their faces. It was very dark in the church ami I couldn't see them distinctly. “Two of them grabbed me and stripped off all my clothes. Though it was a warm night, I shivered some. The four men didn’t talk. One produced a new rope. “ 'Have you any dying request to make?' one asked. It was the first thing any of them had said in the church — my first intimation that they intended to kill me." Brown said he heard an automobile pass outside and made a gesture of escape only to have one of the captors kick him and another slap him across the face. They then looped the rope around his neck and carried the nude preacher to his pulpit. They tossed the rope over the ceiling fan and tied it to the pulpit. Brown was hoisted two feet into the air. Another captor brought a chair and placed it below the preacher, just a fraction
