7 A ITEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN*. ATLANTA. C,.V SUNDAY AUGUST 10, 1913 SMS TABLET New Version of Genesis Found in University of Pennsylvania Nippur Collection, 25,562,650 VOTES FOR PONIES *•* *•* *!*•*!* *•+ 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. Amo Pocbel, 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 scholar 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 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 hack to the reign 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 liood 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 i 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 storv 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 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 of the field artfully they (the gods) called into existence.” Race, Thrillingly Close to the Last, Showed Courage and Ability of Boys and Girls. Hoys 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.

Four others, Charles E. Kelly, of Cartersville, with 430.4 60; 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 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 Avere serious contenders for the prizes up to the very count. Some of tho.-e 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 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. Final Standing in Great Race for Prized Shetlands Use of Fireproofed Cotton Goods Urged 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 fire textbook the Fire Marshal is urging that every Kansas man ani 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 oy fire in Kansas fully 50 per cent and it would make a big decrease in the number of fires in the homes of the State.

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 h^r husband, O. W. Coleman, and both voted for Village Trustees. HAUPTMANN WRITES PLAY OF MONTEZUMA’S REIGN Special Cable to T^»e American. BERLIN.

SHERIFF llinois State’s Attorney Says Volo Vigilantes Who Maltreated the Town Beauty Must Answer. VOLO, ILL., Aug. 9.—Here in Volo, Lake County, III., • 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 Daily, 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 th* Richardson store, dragged her out on July 14 in the evening, set her astride a rail and bore her, struggling, screaming, almost raving, through tie- main street of the little town, climax ing the incident by dumping her in:o 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 andslippod 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 u. r *on her In Vol5 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 Mae. 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 w'ere heaped upon her. H*r clothing was half torn from her and amid jeers and ch«/rs anf 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, who are supposed to have played the rde 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. TO HDD'S E1F 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.

Mrs. Johnson alleges undue intimacy on the part of her husband with her ; stepmother, who is designated in the complaint as “one Anna ,1. It.” 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- i.e.rson the actress, when she arrived ; here on the steamship Adriatic and was asked if the reports that she Intended to marry again were true.

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 the 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 t/9 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- -• 11y, 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. LOUIS, Aug. 9.—Because his 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 Gottlgen University, was forced by his father to come to the United States and Join the army here as a private.

She was beautiful. If she wanted Jewels I bought Jewels. We were at Monto Carlo. She wanted to play the games. She was beautiful, and I loved her, so why should she not be happy? "We were in Paris, at the Horse Show in London, and many other places. She had automobiles and fine horses. “And then my money gave out. My parents refused to give me more, and my father forced me to come to the United States and try for a commis sion in the army. “Will I go back?” responded Dr. Goldfield in answer to a question. “Yes. when I get my commission hero I will go hack and the girl and I will be married. But not until then. I must stay in the army here until I am a lieutenant. Likes Open Air Life. “It’s the open air. and beautiful I like here more than anything else. That is why I have come to the West. “And your soldiers—well, next to the French dragoons they are about the best in the world, in my opinion, and I have seen the troops of all the larger countries. That’s* why I am enlisting as a private here, for I like the life and will stay anyway until I get my naturalization papers.” Goldfield Is twenty-five, and has served the last four years In the Ger man cavalry as a lieutenant.
