6 EXPLORER FINDS MCE LOST FOR 800 TEARS Professor Stefansson Travels in Arctic Regions Among Red-Haired People. SEATTLE, Sept. IS—Ranking next in importance from an ethnological standpoint to the discovery of the lost tribes of Israel is the discovery made by Professor Vilhjalmar Stefansson, of the American Museum of Natural His tory, of the lost tribe of 1,000 white people. They are believed to be direct descendants from the followers of Lief Ericksen, who came to Greenland from Iceland about the year 1000. and a few years later discovered the north coast of America. These people are living on Victoria Island, SO degrees east of the mouth of the Mackenzie river and more than 2.000 miles by the coast line and are still in the Stone Age. While the civilization of nearlv 1.000 years has passed they have stood still. Pro fessor Stefansson, who left New York city in 1908 on his trip, has just arrived In Seattle. One of the remarkable incidents of the five years exploration which Stef ansson carried on is the fact that he left his winter headquarters in Banks Land four years ago with sufficient flour and other cereals to sustain lilrn- If and his Eskimo associates for two weeks, and enough salt and tea to last four weeks. With this scant supply of food, he lived for four years on the bleak Inhospitable shores of the Polar t*a. Caribou, seal and bear furnished him food and clothes. Discovers Thirteen New Tribes. During his travels about the region at the top of.the world Stefansson dis covered thirteen new tribes of people. Ten of these tribes had never seen or heard of white men. The progenitors of two other tribes had seen the mem bers of the Franklin exploring expedi tion. and one tribe had once been vis ited by a whaling vessel. The tribe of w’hite people which Stefansson declares are purely of Nor wegian origin, never had seen other persons of their own color. Their num ber of about 1.000. and more than half of them have rusty red hair, blue eyes, fair skins and tow-colored eye brows and beards. They live on both shores of Coronation gulf, on the main land of North America and Victoria Island, which formerly was known as Prince Edward island. It was for these people that Raold Amundsen, discoverer of the south pole, eearched while making his celebrated trip through the northwest passage. Amundsen, it will be remembered, stated that natives had told him of a race of white people living to the north ward, but he was unable to find them. Ethnologlcally, they are entirely dif ferent from the Eskimo not only in the shape of the skull, but In general fea tures, color of eyes and texture of hair. There is not a single trace of the Mongolian type tn them While they retain but a few of the customs of the Norsemen who were lost from Iceland in the twelfth century, their method of life Is entirely different. They Use Copper Knives. The conditions under w-hich they live are the most primitive. No vegetation except moss and a few stunted willows grow in their habitation. They are meat, and fish eaters, pure and simple. The Islands abound with caribou and the sea with seal. They use bows made of willbw sticks, bound together with sin ew, and their arrows are tipped with flint and native copper, which Is pried out of ledges or found in stream beds on the mainland. Their knives also are made of copper, with horn handles, and made in much the same manner as these implements were made by the early Norsemen who inhabited Green land. Likt nearly every savage tribe, thy have a legend of a flood which a long time, ago devastated the world. They still use the same kind of bone needles that were invented by their forefathers, and many of their methods of life are somewhat similar to those of their progenitors. They are a migratory people, never remaining longer than a few weeks in the same place. When they moved Steffansson and his associates moved with them. They never live on the coast and it was for this reason that Amundsen failed to discover them when he sailed by their island. In the winter time they settle on the ice in the center of a bay, where they hunt seal. In the summer time they go to the center of the island, where they hunt the caribou. Wear Swallow-Tail Coats. Their houses are made of snow for the walls, and a roof is stretched over the top by means of small pieces of driftwood, w hich on rare occasions are found on the coast. These stray frag ments of wood are highly prized Furs furnish their clothing. Their shoes are cut to come well up the thighs, where they are met by a kind of underskirt which reaches to the waist. The coat is fashioned In precisely the same man ner as the swallow-tailed or full dress coat. The whole outfit is held together by means of the thongs and buttons made from rawhide and bone. There are no walrus in that region None of th. natives had ever seen a match or a rifle. During five years Stefansson's rifle brought down nearly Ko tons of meat He maimed a large portion of the coun try.

Atlanta soda fountain today, enjoyed a five-cent drink and tendered the soda jerker a one-dollar bill. “Sorry,” said the jerker. “I haven’t ninety-five cents in change. Hand me the nickel the next time you come in.” “I’m not coming in again.” said Mr. Stranger. “I live in New York. And all the money I have is a one-dollar bill and a five-dollar bill.” “That’s easy,” returned the soda man. “Take back your one and give me the five. Here is your four dollars and ninety-five cents change.” Now, how could he change the five when he couldn’t ange the one? The answer is so easy it is ridiculous, and that’s why it is so hard. Even Krazy Kat could solve it if he put his mind in it. The Georgian will publish solutions mailed to the Puzzle Editor. But no questions will be answered. WANTS ANGLIN TO SUE JESTER Attorney for Wife of Man Alleg ing Love Theft Defends Her Character. Far] Hutcheson, well known young Attorney, today issued a defense of Mrs. John T. Anglin and declared that if her husband brought his threatened suit for $25,000 for alienation of his wife’s affections against W. R. Jester in this county, Mrs. Anglin would win a com plete vindication. Here is Mr. Hutche son’s statement: Relative to charges by one John T. Anglin against his good wife, of this city, as result of an attempted shooting scrape in Macon, said Anglin being acquitted of charges of assault with intent to murder W. R. Jester, of Atlanta, I wish you would give me space in your col umns for a few words in behalf of Mrs. Anglin. I know’ the lady personally and hereby vouch for her irreproach able character. I am cognizant also of some things In connection with said John T. Anglin. The case has been tried to a great ex tent in the press. Public opin ion is formed oftentimes without all facts being known. Evidence so often is the basis of a miscar riage of Justice. If the public knew' the life that said Anglin led this good lady in the West, they would pause before rendering a verdict. I know that Mrs. Anglin is a good woman, has done nothing wrong and that Mr. Jester has known her since she was a child, Mrs. Anglin's father being In Jester’s employ. I trust that Anglin will enter suit against Mr. Jester in Fulton county, and I am certain that the public w'ill then have an opportu nity to pass a sentence commen surate with the weight of the scales of justice. Judge Ross, attorney for Anglin, is a great lawyer and a friend of mine. He charges certain things against Jester and brands Mrs. Anglin as a bad woman. I.et us have a trial of this affair in Ful ton through a damage suit, where lawyers’ Influence is not so far reaching as in the county of Bibb, and then we shall see another side to the outrageous and untruthful charges of a defendant, who can not testify, but who can say any thing that he desires on the stand, because he can not be reached by an indictment for perjury.” SAVANNAH PASTORS WHO RAPPED JURIES WILL BE ON VENIRE SAVANNAH.

TELLS WHERE TH FIND RIG HE TOOK Horse Thief Writes Note to the Police Chief and Stolen An- imal Is Recovered. Major Charles Vittur. proprietor of Vittur's livery stables, today regained possession of a fine horse and buggy which had been missing since Saturday. He got the rig back by following in structions in a mysterious note re ceived by Police Chief Beavers from the horse thief. This note, which came to the chief written on a dirty piece of paper in a scrawling hand and inclosed in a tele gram envelope, read: “Tell the livery stable man on Ma rietta street he can get his horse and buggy if he will go to a point one mile above Norcross. He will find it in the woods, tied to a tree, right behind a church. Tm drunk.” There w’as no signature. The charac ter of the almost Illegible writing in dicated that the writer knew what he was talking about when he said he was ’’drunk.” Chief Reavers turned the note over to Major Vittur, and the liveryman at once hurried to Norcross. He went to the point indicated, and there, behind a little country church, tied to a tree, was his horse and buggy. The writer of the note was gone. The thief called at Vittur’s stables Saturday morning and rented the horse and buggy, giving his name as “Scott,” and explaining that he wanted to drive to Ben Hill. When he failed to return at the appointed time, a search was started, but nothing was heard from the horse and buggy until the arrival of the note.
