HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA. CA.. SUNDAY. AUGUST in, 1013. 7 A 25,562,650 VOTES FOR PONIES +•+ +•+ SAYS TIFT New Version of Genesis Found in University of Pennsylvania Nippur Collection, DATE IS FIXED AT 2100 B, C. Dr. Arno Poebel’s Discovery Is Regarded as Oldest Story of Origin of World. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.—It was a woman who created mankind, ac cording to a s tablet 4,000 years old . Just deciphered at the Pennsylvania University Museum by Dr. Arno Poebel, who Is at work translating the tablets dug up In Nippur some years ago by the museum expedi tions. , About 37 years ago Georg© Smith, ^ the English ocholar and explorer, brought back from Babylonia the cylinders which gave a Babylonian account of the origin of mankind and much of his early history, and these not only excited great interert but had a profound effect upon the theological teachings. The parallelism between the Babylonian story and that of Genesis developed a new school In theological criticism. But the cyl inders of Smith only dated back to the reign of Assurbanipal in the seventh century B. C. The university museum tablet dates back possibly to 2600 B. C., and it Is reasonably certain to be no later than the reign of Hamurabi. about 2100 B. C. Female Deity Created Man. The new account of the creation and the flood throw's much new light on the early ideas of the Babylonians and Sumerians. The striking novel features of the new tablet are these: That It w*as a female deity w*ho created mankind, known as “the blackheaded,” from the color of the hair. That new deities or new character istics of the gods are discovered in the original document, although they have been hinted at In other w T avs. The Character of the female goddess i Is now made important from the ear liest times and equal with the two male ruler gods. Later tablets speak of these as unimportant. That the first f ven prediluvian cities and the special god of each are i discovered. That the older Babylonian name of the Scriptural Noah is Zingidda. That deluge ruins of the predelu- vian cities were not all destroyed, some not until historic times. There is historic basis to much of the state ment in this epic. Opens With Poem. Dr. Poebel has prepared a careful literal translation of the tablet. Tt originally w-as about seven inches square, but on such a surface the ancients could write in Ideographic signs a long epic poem, and that is what this table contained. Like the first chapter of Genesis, the story opens with a great poem on the origin of the heavens as well as of the earth. It appears that Nintu. a female god, created mankind, and she is found lamenting that the other gods seem bent on the destruction of her sub jects. She speaks of the human be ings as “my creations.” It appears that Anu and Enlil were the chi^f gods of pow*er, although they were among seven of equal rank, the firs* being god of heaven and the second god of earth. Then comes the story of the creation: "Nintu created the blackheaded, (human race.) * * * “The fields of the ground produced abundance, the cattle and the four-legged beasts a of the field artfully they (the gods) Icalled into existence.” Astounding Mark Reached in Great Contest Race, Thrillingly Close to the Last, Showed Courage and Ability of Boys and Girls. boys and girls in The Georgian and American Pony Contest polled the astounding total of 25,562,650 votes. ^°kert Harbour, of District No. 2, won first honors with 647,17.) votes. She had first choice of the ponies, and took the little M ISS ROBERT JESTER HARBOUR, 340 Ponce DeLeon avenue, who polled largest number of votes in Georgian and American’s great Pony Contest. Winner of first prize is shown driving “Queen Bess, 99 the little Shetland most coveted in the contest. black pony coveted by many others- "Queen Bess.” Totals of more than a half-million votes were made by George Rosser in District No. 1, and Fannie Mae Cook in District No. 4. Four others, Charles E. Kelly, of Cartersville, with 430,460; Frank Ison. Jr., of College Park, with 474,090; William Turner, with 470,930, and Ross Greer, with 440,925, climbed over the 400,000 mark, and neared the half million level. All Had Big Totals. All the others had big total votes— large enough to win In any ordinary contest. But this was no ordinary contest. It was harder fought than any competition of the kind in the history of Atlanta. This was in evitable, because the prizes were more attractive to children than any which any Atlanta newspaper ever before had offered. A remarkable feature is the way the contestants were "bunched” at the finish. In many districts there are five, six and even ten who were serious contenders for the prizes up to the very r count. Some of those who were fifth in their own district-* would have won a pony, or at least a watch, in some other district. This seems hard, but it is the fate of war, so J r,r >eak. Presumably those In ‘.lie tricts rad even cha-.ces, a l uld not be permitted compete \ ith the boys and girls working in a region where the going, perhaps, was much more difficult. Credit to the Losers. Hats off to the losers! v Every one of them is “game.’ There has not been a complaint of unfairness—not a single kick at the method in which the contest was conducted. Nothing but a spirit of fair play, and the motto, "Let the best man win,” has prevailed. There is this much consolation—the boys and girls who worked sincerely in the contest have gained experience which will be Invaluable to them In later life—an insight into business methods worth more than any prize. Then, too, they have the satisfac tion of knowing that they have aided in introducing Atlanta’s best news papers into homes where they were strangers before.

SHERIFF llinois State's Attorney Says Volo Vigilantes Who Maltreated the Town Beauty Must Answer. Illinois Husband Consents to Do Washing to Prove Housekeep ing Isn’t Hard. CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—Just to prove to an expectant world that he was a good husband, Wayne Colby stayed home, mended the socks, tended the children and washed dishes while his wife cast her vote In the first elec tion under the universal suffrage law recently enacted. "Just to show that it is not such a terrible thing for a man to stay at home and do the housework on the occasional voting day,” said Colby, "I thought I would help Mrs. Colby out with the washing.” The first woman to cast her vote in the State was Mrs. Fannie Coleman, of Wamac, near Central Illinois. Sh« was accompanied to the polls by her husband, O. W. Coleman, and both voted for Village Trustees. HAUPTMANN WRITES I 3 LAY OF MONTEZUMA’S REIGN Special Cable to The American. BERLIN, Aug. 9.—Gerhart Haupt mann Is writing a new drama, to be called "The White Saviour,” and which deals with the Introduction of Chris tianity Into Mexico by the Spaniards under Cortez. One of the principal characters is its King Montezuma. It Is predicted that the play will be a striking piece of Christian symbolism and that It will have some remarkable scenic effects. VOLO, ILL., Aug. 9.—Here In Volo, Lake County*, Ill., the women who rode Mrs. John Richardson, the town beauty, on a rail will have to answer to the grand Jury. The State's At torney Ralph Dady, says so. Gossip caused the trouble. Mrs. Richardson Is pretty. Her husband, who keeps the small country store, is a cripple. William Dunnill, a brother- in-law* of the wife, was a frequent caller. The village women descended on the Richardson store, dragged her out on July 14 in the evening, set her .astride rail and bore her. struggling, screaming, almost raving, through the main street of the little town, climax ing the incident by dumping her into a mud puddle by a roadside and warning her to "pack up her traps and °*o,” meaning thereby an ultima tum that she must forever leave Volo. And, paradoxical as it may seem, all of this happened within forty milv*s of Chicago. Slips Away During Night. After the vigilantes had dumped Mrs. Richardson Into one of the va rious mud puddles which abound ,a the vicinity, the victim emerged from her oozy bath, went by a circuitous route back to her husband’s store, conferred with him and slipped away during the night. It was impossible to employ an automobile, buggy or other convey ance the night she left, and to remain over until daylight was out of tho question, because members of the mob had warned Mrs. Richardson that if the sun rose unon her In Vola again they would tar and feather her. Her husband witnessed the abduc tion of his wife, but. being unable to rise, could render her no assistance It is estimated that at least half the male population of Volo witnessed the hazing of Mrs. Richardson. In fact, 't is said that the women who commit ted the outrage had previously taken their husbands and brothers into their confidence and that the proposition had been indorsee, in family council. It was expected that Will Dunnill, brother-in-law of Mrs. Richardson would Interfere in her behalf, but he left Volo a few hours before the at tack. Therefore, Mrs. Richardson’s husband being disabled, and her brother-in-law being absent, she was without champion. Husband Defends Her. Just before Mrs. Richardson’s flignt from Volo, her husband gave her $1,500. To a newspaper man, Richardson said: "My wife Is a good woman. She is not guilty of the charges the other women make. I won’t believe it. A woman who has cared for me during my invalidism for the last nine years, who married me when I w*as an in valid, knowing there was no hope of my recovery, w*ould not be guilty w hat they charge. “And to think that I w*as helpless to save her from the indignities which were heaped upon her. H a r clothing was half torn from her and amid jeers and ch frs ant the throw ing of mud and stones, she was rid den through the streets. It was n act of Middle-Age barbarism and hardly worthy of women of Illinois, who have Just obtained the right to vote.” Meanwhile the women of Volo. w*ho are supposed to have played the role of vigilantes, are calmly awaiting de velopments. Husband Says She Kissed Count's Foot Wife Brings Counter Charge That He Is Unduly Friendly With Stepmother. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Counter suits have been instituted in divorce proceed- j ings by Harold I). Johnson, of the Co lonial Life Insurance Company, and his wife, Mrs. Harriet L.

Mrs. Johnson alleges undue intimacy on the part'of her husband with her stepmother, who is designated in the complaint as “one Anna J. R.” Johnson has entered a general denial to his wife's charges, while the wife’s attorney, Mira beau Towns, ridiculed the foot-kissing episodes complained of by Johnson. 10 HEIR’S EXILE Y Lieutenant in the Kaiser's Army Comes to Chicago and Joins U.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—“Smack!” A score of persons hurrying to and fro in the Pennsylvania Railroad sta tion yesterday stopped short. • "Smack!” The sound was repeated. Turning in h6 direction from which it seemed to emanate, the curious among the persons in the station saw two well-dressed young men in each other’s arms. Both men were of athletic build and none of the persons who stopped to watch their antics from a distance cared to interfere. When it seemed as if the ialler of the two was about to be thrown, they separated suddenly. Then the gates to the train shed were thrown open and an announcer called upon all intending passengers bound for Jamaica, L. I., and points east to go aboard the waiting train That seemed to be a signal for a re commencement of hostilities. “Smack!” Stire enough. It sounded again dis- nctly, but there was no mystery about *e cause this time. “Good-bye, Pierre.” said the taller man; “don’t forget to write.’’ And a fourth time they kissed before parting. ST.
