THE ARK OF NOAH.
An Ancient Tablet That Givs an Elk
act Description of It.

Washington Post, ,-t-.. 3.
A remarkable discovery has been made
In the British museum during the slow
course of deciphering the cuneiform IN
scriptions on earthern tablets found In
the ruins of the lihrary of Asurbanipal
the Magnificent, King of Assyria from 66S
to 626 before the day of Christ
The new find is that Of a tablet that
tells in details of Noahs ark. giving
exact dimensions and enumerating the
animals that were carried on 1t to save
them from the deluge.
The ancient record. predating even the
ancient Asurbanipars reign by no one
knows how many centuries. treats 1.-THE
matter not as legend, but as history
According to the dimensions given in the
record. the hull of the ark was almost
exactly twice as long and more than ten
times as wide as the Oceanic or the Gel
tic. the two biggest ships In the world
today Eeither of the two big ships when
in drydock towers eighty feet from keel
to lower deck. The deckhouse alone OF
the ark according to the tablets was
more than three times as high as that.
So great was this declxhouse that Meth
err the Oceanic nor Celtic could accommo-
date it on their hulls. for II alone was
400 feet longer than either of these ships
are over all.
The description of the ark as given in
the tablets depicts 1t as having been a
huge houseboat in form. Thus the pres
ent and. common CONCEPTION of what its
appearance was is identical with that
conveyed by the old record. 80,
According to the figures given i'm the
tablet. the ark would have drawn so
much water than she never could enter
New York harbor, even in the highest
tide. when there are thirty-six feet of
water clear This fact serves to give
graphic conception OF what the extent of
the deluge must have been.
The tablet. after giving the dimensions
of the ark. goes on, to describe the ar
of the deckhouse. There was
ample room on each side OF the deckhouse
for moving about. space 1920 feet wide
having been left on each side OF the craft

Comment of Paris Press.

Paris. Feb. 24.-The visit of Prince
Henry of Prussia to the United states
is attracting attention here, and there IL
/ d tinge of irony in the newspaper COM
ments, which betray some feeling OF
pique at the enthusiasm of his reception
The Temps says:
oTbis time it is not the iron glove,
but the hand in the glove or silk and
velvet that Prince Henry stretches out.
1t is somewhat significant that the Wash
ingfon birthday fetes passed almost I'M
perceived amid the brilliance of the re-
ceptfon of the Prince who represents one
of the monarchies of effete Europe. The
great republic is launched In the very
midst of the international melee and nc
longer has time to devote itself to the
Jealous and almost exclusive worship OF
the glorious memories of its history"
The Journal des Bats remarks:
The Americans must see in Prince
Henry's fiattering visit fresh PROOF OF the
ca gerress of the powers OF the OLD worio
to worship the rising sun OF tnis young
and powerful republic. which some OF
them formerly treated as parvenue, but

the Plan Proposed by Petitioners
Governor Willing to Take Desired
Action if Constitutional Bill Can
Be Prepared.
Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 5.-Governor
Stone was waited upon by committee
from the state legislative board of rail
road employees of Pennsylvania during
the afternoon and requested to take
immediate steps to Sring about set
tlement of the strike in the anthracite
coal regions and, if necessary, call an
extra session of the legislature for the
enactment of compulsory arbitration
law. The committee presented a
signed statement setting forth that the
strike is causing much distress among
the anthracite miners and their fam.
lilies, hardships to millions of people
and proving disastrous to the business
interests of the state.
The committee stated that the rail-
road employees depend upon the coal
traffic for four-ffths of their living and
that they were not making as good
wages as before the strike. The com
mittee said the board was preparing a
bill which its members believed would
end the strike and prevent strikes in
the future if it should become a law.
Governor Stone replied that it, by
calling a s1ecial session of the legis-
lature, law could be passed that
would be constitutional and would set
tie the strike and prevent others, he
would not hesitate to cal! special ses-
sion.
Governor Stone also said he regard
ed the strike as of sufficient public in
terest to justify an extra session of
the legislature if it would solve the
difficulty, but he would not call spe-
cial session n the interest of specula-4
tion or for political effect if norsatis.=
factory law could be passed or good

IAssaIants Are President Thomas r,
! Williams of the California Jockey
Club and Truxton BeaIe, Former
United States Minister to Persia and
Greece-An Article Rejecting on d
Young Lady the Alleged Cause.
San Francisco, Sept 5.-Fred Mar.
riott, the publisher of the San Fran
cisco News Letter, was shot at his
home three times and seriously wound
ed. His assailants were Thomas Fl.
Williams, Jr., president of the Cali
fornia Jockey club, and TruxtOn Beale,
a former United States minister to
Persia and Greece and a we'll known
club man of this city. Neither will
say who did the shooting, but Marriott
says that it was Williams.
The first shot fired shattered Mar
riott's left leg below the knee and he
fell to the stairs. AS he rolled to the
bottom of the stairs two more bullets
were shot into him. One cut through
the thigh a few inches below the hip.
passing clear through the leg. The
other struck him in the right hand.
Mrs. Marriott, hearing the first shot,
came to the head of the stairs in time
to see her husband fall. She started
down to him. Then it is claimed the
revolver was turned in her direction
and two more shots were fired. One
passed within four inches Of her head.
In an interview Mr.. Williams sad:
'Yes, Beale and myself did the
shooting, but there is nothing to say.
We considered it our duty to punish
Marriott for publishing an article last
week rejecting upon the reputation OF
a young lady"
Beale said that although the lady's
name was not mentioned, her identity
was 50 plainly indicated that he felt
bound to resent the publication. Mel
ther Williams or Beale, although ad-
mitting the shooting, would say who
fired the shots. After the shooting
they went to the Pacific Union club
where they were placed under arrest.
Marriott's wounds, it is thought, will
not result fatally. Williams and Beale
were released on $4,000 bonds each.
No affair in recent years has caused
such sensation as the shooting OF

Marriott. Both Beale and Williams
have been prominent financially and
socially for years and they probably
are as we'll known in other parts Of
the country as in California. TruXton
Beale is the son of Langan Beale, who
came to California many years ago and
accumulated a vast estate. Beale was
at one time United States minister to
Persia and later to Greece and is al
present a member of the wool dealing
firm of Shoobert, Baale &, Co.
Williams Rated as a Millionaire.
T. H. Williams is known all over the
country as racing man. He is presi-
dent of the California Jockey club,
which controls racing in California
He inherited a large fortune from his
father and is rated as a millionaire.
Frederick Marriott, the wounded
publisher, is also we'll known. He in.
herited the News Letter, weekly pub
ication, from his father who estab
lished the paper many years ago
Marriott was also publisher of the
Overland Monthly. While the alleged
slanderous story published by the
News Letter. which caused the shoot
ing, did not mention the young ladys
name, it was generally known who was
referred to. The young woman was
heartbroken over the publication and
appealed to Beale, an old friend of her
family, for assistance. Beale asked
the advice of Williams and together
they went to Marriott's house. The
shooting followed. In speaking of the
affair Williams said:
1--WE undoubtedly committed an as
sault on Marriott, but we feel we were
entirely justified in doing so, as he
had attacked in his paper the char
acter of an estimable young lady with
out any reason or cause. We are both
satisfied that the attack in his paper
was made with malice. We felt that
the only remedy for such a procedure
was physical punishment and we ad-
ministered it."
Mr.. Beale said said: "The attack
was made on a particularly warm
friend of mine, who lives with her
mother in San Rafael. She is we'll
known in society and not the least
word of scandal has ever attached to
her name The article did not men
tion her name, but it indicated clearly
at whom it was aimed. 1t told of her
playing tag in nightgOWn at Mount
Tamalpais with a party of friends.
We felt perfectly justified in taking
the measures We did and have nothing
to regret"
