December 16, at Kowdaie Crematory. Mcaiotri MUNDIALES fi i i 1 1 5 II LIBERTY DRAFT FIND DOUBTED Declaration of Independence Original iYerer Located Expert Believes Printer Tore it Up After Copying It Fakes Cause Periodical Discovery lieports WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. (NANA) The fate of the draft of the Decla ration of Independence, which was approved by the Continental Congress July 4, 1776, and which would be one of the most valuable historical manuscripts in the world, is unknown. This has just been revealed ny authorities on historical manuscripts at the Library of Congress, following the publication of a newspaper dispatch from Toronto saying, "The original draft of the Declaration of independence" has turned up in the hands of an antique dealer In the Canadian city.

The manuscript described In the dispatch, however, could not be that priceless paper, which would worth a large sum to anyone fortunate enough to discover it. The probability is that the Philadelphia printer to whom It was sent, the night of July 4 or morning of July 5, simply tore It up after setting the type. JEFFERSON COPY FOUND What is considered as almost cer tainly the original draft, in the handwriting of Thomas Jefferson but with changes in the handwriting of Benjamin Franklin and others, was found among JefIerson' papers after his death and Is among the most cherished posessions of tho National Library. But, according to Dr. John A.

Fitzpatrick, editor of Washington's diaries and authority on the affairs of the Continental Congress, this is almost surely not the copy submitted to the Congress, adopted, and ordered set up. The manuscript in Jefferson's handwriting bears no signatures. The printed sheets which came from the printer bear the signatures of John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, and Charles Thomson, clerk. HANCOCK SIGNED DRAFT The parchment copy of the Declaration, which was signed by all the members of the Continental Congress, was not made until a month afterward, by a special resolution of the body. It was the first to bear any signatures other than those of Hancock and Thomson, and is generally regarded as the original Declaration.

There is. however, a bare possibil-ity that one of the printed sheets Issued July 5 was signed by the members but, says Dr. Fitzpatrick, the only support for this belief 1 a statement made by Thomas Jefferson almost fifty years later. Jefferson, he says, got Into an argument in which he asserted that the signatures had been affixed July 4. The actual records of the Continental Congress were shown him to prove that the resolution to sign was not adopted until some week later.

MEMORY UNRELIABLE Jefferson then, it is asserted, said he was not referring to ths parchment copy but to the paper copy. The circumstances of the conversa tion, says Dr. Fitzpatrick, indicate either that Jefferson's memory was faulty or that he misstated delib erately to back up his own argument. If he was telling the truth, how ever, the paper may still exist somewhere and would be priceless, as a single signature of some or the signers now commands fabul ous prices. It would be even more valuable than the draft the printer is supposed to have torn up.

MANY FALSE "ORIGINALS" Every now and then, says Dr. Fitzpatrick, the library receives word that "the original Declaration of Independence" has been found somewhere. This Is due to the fact that an enterprising and patriotla printer, John Binns of Philadelphia, a few months after the official signing of the parchment copy, made an exact fascsimile of it, had it decorated elaborately by John Singleton Copley, celebrated col onial painter, and engraved on It the signatures of. John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Washington was not a signer of the parchment Declara tion.

Binns, an enterprising business man, then had a handsome steel engraving made of his copy and sold many reproductions. Some still are in existence. The work was so well done that whenever one appears, the finder, ignorant cf the real history of the Declaration, believes the original manuscript hai come Into his hands.

SENATE HAS NEW CLASH ON EDITORS lien and Johnson Trade Disparaging Remarks as Telegrams Go in Record WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. an More telegrams irom editors in Minnesota and neighboring States expressing views on the tariff controversy were inserted in the Congressional Record today along with a renewal of the row in the Senate over their attitude.

Senator Allen. Republican, Kan sas, the names of thirty-one more editors in the Northwestern Ctates, who urged ipeedy enactment of the tariff measure without any delay for the purpose of slashing the existing in dustrial rates accused the Senate cf "weakness" in "seeking to bull- coze its detractors. Senator Johnson, Republican, California, spoke up as "the bloc of one in this body" to assert: "I am sick and tired of seeing newspaper articles published In this record. We have a duty here our-selves and I don't give a rap for the views of spokesmen of editors cr for the criticisms of the newspapers. I wish they would begin tt criticise one another and let us do our work." Allen replied that "nothing has contributed so much to the fabric of public opinion as the newspaper ed'tors." "And nothing so detracts from a man In public life," retorted "as his constant reiteration of what may be published in tha newspapers." lABEKAH LODGE ELECTS SN FFRNANDO.
