SAYS BIBLE WAS CENSORED Hebrews Arbitrary As Military Censors, Speaker Asserts.

"No Actual Miracle at Cana," Johns Hopkins Man Says. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27. Contradicting theories that the wines mentioned in the scriptures were not fermented, especially the wine at the marriage feast in Cana, Prof. Paul F.

Haupt of Johns Hopkins university today asserted that scriptural wines were of considerable strength and probably Hike brandy. He was addressing the fifty-second annual meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegisis at Haverford college. "The miracle at Cana," he declared, "mr-st be interpreted alle-gorlcally. "Jesus turned the water of the old dispensation Into wine, the blood of the new covenant. Similarly, the resurrection of Lazarus symbolized the revivification of the defunct church." There was no actual miracle at Cana and Lazarus was not resur rected from the grave, according to Professor Haupt, who also touched on the "censorship" exercised by early writers of the Bible.

As an example he referred to a section of Proverbs, retouched by the writers, he said, for fear of casting an aspersion on Noah. "The early Hebrew censors were as arbitrary and unreasonable as modern military censors," he de- Dr. Haupt contended that the myrrh in the wine offered Christ on the cross was opium. Prof. Morris Jastrow, president of the societv.

declared that the failure of Biblical critics to pursue their investigations to the limit of constructive research laid them open to attacks.

KEEP ON OFFERING PEACE Until One Side Rejects It, tlie United States Will Continue Mediation Work.

TERMS AT CONFERENCE Berlin Will State Definite Peace Plans at Any Meeting When Held. WASHINGTON, D. Dec. 27 In spite of the wide gulf between the Insistence of the central powers ror an Immediate peace conference and the forecast of a unanimous refusal by the entente allies to enter such a conference without knowing Germany's terms in advance, the American government believes that the negotiations in progress are resulting in good. It was said with authority tonight that until the door to peace actually is closed by one side or the other President Wilson will continue to hope that any discussion of the subject will tend to hasten the end of the war.

Says Germany Accepts It. Coun von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, returning unexpectedly tonight from New York, authorized The Associated Press to make the following statement: "I regard the note of my government as constituting an acceptance of anything suggested by President Wilson in his note to the belliger ent nations of Europe." It was made clear at the embassy that Germany stands ready to make known her terms on the first day of any conference that may be held and officials expressed themselves as being greatly surprised at the view prevailing in some quarters here that the Berlin government had failed to meetfthe president's suggestions by not setting down In the reply the terms upon which it Is willing to make peace. Didn't Want Public Declaration. The German diplomats say PresI dent Wilson had no intention of drawing a mimic declaration con cerning terms from the central powers. On the contrary, they think the president's suggestion "that an early occasion be sought to call out from all the nations now at war such an avowal of their respective views as to tne terms upon wnien the war might be concluded," has been fully met.

by Germany in seek ing an immediate conference with her enemies. Tlie German policy upon which the reply to President Wilson com munication is based, was outlined as follows: Germany Wants Delegates. Germany feels that the confer ence suggested by it tirst snouia be comnosed of delegates from the belligerent countries whose duty It would be to settle territorial terms. Once these terms are agreed upon, representatives or tne neu trals should be called In to partlcl-nate in consideration of the ques tions ot guarantees for the future, which neutrals are as vitally con cerned Us belligerents. These miarantees.

in the German view, necessarily would have to do witn the freedom ot the seas, limited disarmament, formation of a world league of nations to enforce peace and the establishment ot an international court of arbitration. No Neutral Territorial Interest. Germanv Is said to consider that neutral nations can nave no interest in terms relating to territory. While there were no official ad vices uoon the subject, the view still persisted in German quarters tonight that the note or tne central powers might be followed by some highly confidential oral or written communication to President Wilson, in which at least broad tentative terms might be stated. In this connection officials noted with Interest Berlin press dispatches saying that Ambassador Gerard, who as a result of his recent visit to the United States is thoroughly familiar with the views of President WilHon.

had taken lunch with Alfred Zimmerman, the German foreign minister, and probably discussed the peace situation with him. PROVKS (MWD INTENTIONS. Prompt German Answer to Wilson Pleases Newspapers. AMSTERDAM, Dec. 27.

Com menting on the German reply to President Wilson's note, the Lokal Anzelger of Berlin says: "From the fact that Germany has not allowed the Cbrlstmaa festival to pass without replying to President Wilson's note even our enemies must, gain the conviction that we made the peace offer serlouslv.

BUT THEY WAIT IN HALL (let Pleasant Greetings and Nothing More As Members Come and Oo. 'GRASSHOPPERS' STILL SHY Mayor Declares Small Buyers Still Have Difficulty in Getting Orders Filled.

Mayor MacVicar and local coal dealers were unable to close the coal war by arbitration yesterday afternoon. There waB just one thing between the mayor and the dealers. It was a door. And the door was closed. Yesterday afternoon coal dealers held a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce.

One of the dealers Informed MacVicar that the coal magnates were to have a meeting. MacVicar was told that he and Secretary Horace Hollingsworth of the Associated Charities would be welcomed as guestB and that a peaceful settlement of all difficulties might reeult. Not Invited In. MacVicar and Hollingsworth be took themselves to the scene of a meeting. "Good afternoon, Mr.

Mayor; howdy doi Mr. Hollingsworth," the dealers as they filed into I tne chamber 1 hey entered the room and closed the door, leav ing MacVicar and Hollingsworth in the hall. The second party to the arbitra tion waited outside the door. They were expecting to be called into the meeting after lodge had been opened in due form. So time wore on and so did the famine breakers.

Too Much Publicity. When the dealers finished the session they passed out into the nan. "Go4 afternoon, Mr. Mayor, howdy do, Air. Hollingsworth," they said a second time as they rang tor tne elevator.

Later one of the dealers told MacVicar that he nnd Hollings worth were not invited into the meeting because "the dealers thought they were getting too much publicity." Frank Dole of the Carbon Coal company declined to be interviewed regarding the meeting. He said private matters which concern only the dealers themselves were discussed. When the mayor returned to his office at the city hail he stated that customers referred to by tho dealers as "grasshoppers" are still In danger of being unable to get coal. Yesterday the Northwestern railway, through the efforts of the Greater Des Moines committee, turned over to local dealers the ouput of three of the largest mines In Polk county. Small Dealers Helpless.

Mr. MacVicar said last night that so far as he could learn this coal is not being delivered to "grasshoppers" the small purchaser who buys in ton and half ton lots from small dealers. "The small dealers are still completely checkmated," the mayor said. "Requests for coal from buyers of small quantities continue to flood my office. It appears that the larger dealers have succeeded in putting the 'little fellows' out of business.

"Regular customers of the large coal offices seem to be able to get all the coal they want." Suggest Outsklo Purchase. Residents in the northwest part of the city reported to the mayor yesterday evening that they can raise $2,000 to purchase coal from outsido the state. They suggested Kentucky, but the mayor learned that Kentucky has an embargo on all coal mined in the state and is not permitting any coal to be shipped out. MacVicar wrote to nig coai aeai-ers in Illinois last night. Sixty deliveries of coal were made through the mayor's office yesterday.

The mayor's supply was entirely exhausted last night. K. F. Conslgny, 307 West Tenth street, donated the use of two motor trucks which were mustered into the famine service. The Northwestern coal was delivered to the Consumers, Beaver and Bellew coal companies.

Could Spend More in Sparsely Populated Districts. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.

Hummell, chairman of the civil service commission, whose resignation has been asked for by Mayor MacVicar, did not participate in the hearing. In hla absence Commissioner Jay Tone presided. Conflict of testimony given by witnesses against Mattern resulted in the complete eradication of all evidence which was intended to show that Mattern had been guilty of tipping off the activities of a "stool pigeon" employed by the city booze squad.

Jarknon Commimds Mattern. In his testimony before the com mission Chief Jackson stated that Mattern's record had been unusually good.

Kegley, stool pigeon, told Day that Mattern tipped off a druggist from whom Kegley was trying to buy liquor.

Before the hearing started John Holland, attorney for Mattern, re quested that all witnesses be taken to another room in order that testimony could not be heard by witnessed who had not yet been called to the stand. This move on the part of Hol land, which was sustained by the commission, resulted in a death blow to the testimony of Kegley and Miss Ethel Vance, the principal witness against Mattern. Kegley's Story on It. The story as told by Kegley was follows: About 6 o'clock on the evening of Dec. 17 Kegley and Miss Vance went to tne I'oley McNamara drug store at Twelfth and Garfield streets.
