Astounding Mark Reached in Great Contest
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 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 George Smith,
the English ocholar and explorer,
brought back from Babvlonia the
> cylinders which gave a Babylonian
account of the origin of mankind and
much of his early history, and these
not only excited great interest 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 reig.i of Assurbanipal in the
seventh century B. C. The university
r. useum tablet dates back possibly
to 2500 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 throws much new light
on the early ideas of the Babylonians
and Sumerians.
The striking novel features of the
new tablet are these:
That It was a female deity who
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 ways.
The character of the female goddess-*
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 .* ven prediluvian
cities and the special god of each are
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. It
originally was about seven inches
square, but on such a surface the
ancients cculd 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 s*he 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 chief
gods of power, although they were
among seven sf 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
of the field artfully they (the gods)
called into existence.”

Boys and Girls.
Boys and girls in The Georgian and American Pony Contest
polled the astounding total of 25,562,650 votes.
Miss Robert Harbour, of District No. 2, won first honors with
647,175 votes. She had first choice of the ponies, and took t 1, • lit^c

black pony covoted by many others—
“Queen Bess.”
Totals of more than a half-millior
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 439.930, and
Ross Greer, with 440,925, climbed over
the 400.000 mark, and neared the haPf-
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, b'ecau-e the prizes were
more attractive to children than any
which any Atlanta newspaper ever
before had offered.
A remarkable feature is the way
tiie 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 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 to speak.
Presumably those in the same dis
tricts had even chances, and should
not be permitted to compete with 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!
Every one of them is “game/
There lias 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.

State Fire Marshal Says Stores in
Kansas Sell No Other
* Kind.
TOPEKA, Aug. 9.—Harrison Park-
man, State Fire Marshal, believes
that stores ought to sell only fire
proof cotton goods.
In the new State Are textbook the
Eire Marshal is urging that every
Kansas jnan an I woman refuse to
buy any but fireproof cotton goods
and that they adopt the German
method and fireproof all cotton ma
terials.
The Fire Marshal believes that this
action would decrease the number of
deaths ny fire in Kansas fully 50 per
rent and It would make a big decrease
in the number of fires in the homes
of the State.

Mends Own Socks
To Let Wife Vote
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 fi^st 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.
SHEfllFF
llinois State's Attorney Says Volo
Vigilantes Who Maltreated the
Town Beauty Must Answer.
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 ths
Richardson store, dragged her out on
July 14 in the, evening, set her astride
a 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 miles
of Chicago.
Slips Away During Night.
After the vigilantes had dumped
Mrs. Richardson into one of the va
rious mud puddles which abound ,n
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 «he left, and to remain
over until daylight was out'of the
question, because members of the
mob had warned Mrs. Richardson that
If the sun rose imon her in VolD
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 was an in
valid, knowing there was no hope of
my recovery, would not be guilty >f
what they charge.
“And to think that I was helpless
to save her from the Indignities
which were heaped upon her. H?r
clothing was half torn from her and
amid jeers and chf'#rg *h|
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. who
are supposed to have played the roV-
of vigilantes, are calmly awaiting de
velopments.
Husband Says She
0 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
ings by Harold D. Johnson, of the Co
lonial Life Insurance Company, and his
wife, Mrs. Harriet L Johnson. In the
Supreme Court at White Plains.
The husband alleges that his wife is
so infatuated with a certain Italian
count that she frequently kissed his
foot.
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, Mirabeau Towns, ridiculed the
foot-kissing episodes complained of by-
Johnson.
No More Matrimony
For Julia Sanderson
Former Wife of Tod Sloan Says She
Will Never Tire of
Single Life.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—“Never again ”
This was the terse reply of Julia San
derson the actress, when she arrived
here on the steamship Adriatic and was
asked if the reports that she intended
to marry again were true.
After dealing that solar plexus blow
to the matrimonial rumor, the former
wife of Tod Sloan gave out her Ideas
on marriage.
"When a girl is free and single she
ran have all the fun in the world,” she
said. "It is different when you are
married. Nobody wants to talk to you.
Nobody wants to see you. No more bar
riers for me.”

Twin Boys’ Skin Is
Turning to Black
Eighteen-Month-0Id Babies Are Suf
fering From Rare Malady Known
as Hodgkin’s Disease.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug 9.—Eighteen- !
month-old twin boys in the Children’s
Homeopathic Hospital are suffering !
from one of the rarest diseases known to
medical science. It has changed their i
color from white to black The disease I
is pseudo leucaemia, or Hodgkin's dls- j
ease, and it is an affection of the lym- !
pathic glands in which the number of
white blood corpuscles Is Increased and
the red blood corpurcles greatly dimin
ished.
The twins are the children of Anthony
Amato and they were born eighteen
months ago. They were then white.
Then their skin began growing dark.
Men's Farewell Kiss
Mistaken for Fight
Ardent Osculation at Railroad Sta
tion Causes Commotion Among
Passengers at Gate.
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
'he 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 the.lr antics from a distance cared
to Interfere. When it seemed as if the
taller 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 dls-
ctly, but there was no mystery about
s*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 LOUIS, Aug. 9.—Because bis
love for a pretty German actress re
sulted in his squandering an Inheri
tance of $32,000 in one year. Dr. Otto
Gordon Goldfield, scion of a wealthy
family, a lieutenant in the German
cavalry and a graduate of Gottigen
University, was forced by his father
to come to the United States and Join
the army here as a private. The
young German is now in barracks
here.
Ruth Werner. German dancer and
singer, charmed the young man when
in Vienna. Hi© grandfather bad just
died and left him $32,000. Within a
ye^r this was gone, and after numer
ous appeals to his father, Dr. Goldfield
was forced to come here.
Told to Give Up Girl,
His father, who is the vice president
of the Corporation of Hamburg, told
him to give up the girl, his commis
sion in the army and go to America.
“I fell in love with the girl,” ex
plained “Private” Goldfield. “and
spent all my money on her. She was
beautiful. If she wanted jewels I
bought Jewels. We were at Monte
