40 Care for the ..Drunks.,

Mayor Ezra S. Meals of Harrisburg
Pa, has ordered the police department.
to see that drunken men are helped to
their homes instead of being arrested, and
to compel the saloon proprietors to take
care of the men found drunk in or near
their saloons. Mayor Meals holds that
it is not right to send these men to the,
lookup so long as they are not troubling
any one. OF course, the criminal DRINKS
will be dealt with summarily and the
habitual drunkards will be sent to Jail
to sober up. after which the mayor will
take them in hand personally and give,
them a chance to get hold of themselves.
He goes on the theory that drunkenness
is a disease. Whenever a man is taken
home the fact will be recorded for flu
ture reference.

DR.. Hilprecht's Final Reply.

In the form of a book of $50 pages just
from the press Prof. Herman V. Hill
precht of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA replies to the charges made against
him in connection with the collections of
Nippur tablets now in the possession of
that university. The book recounts the
evidence presented before the committee
of trustees resulting in his complete ex-
oneration by them, and explains to his
own satisfaction the circumstances out of
which grew this famous sciertific contro-
yersy. The first charge was that of lit
erary dishonesty in having spoken of
three of the tablets as being found by
himself in 1900, whereas they were said
to have been purchased by the members
of an earlier expedition. Hilprecht now
says that his books under dispute were
not strictly scientific, and that numerous
notes were not wanted by his publishers.
Hence he had not added the note telling
where the tablets had been bought. An
other charge was that of having retained
property belonging to the university. This
arose from the fact that with his own
money he had made excavations at Fara
independent of those conducted by the
university. Some of his finds he had
given to the university, but others he had
retained. The u also held that the
tablets were not of a literary character
and were not properly called a temple
library" Hilprecht repels this with tes-
timony of other scientists. In conclusions
he asserts that two men have been his an
~tagonists, Rev. DR.. Peters and Prot. Nor
ris Jastrow, Jr. The animus of the for
mer Hilprecht attributes to the criticisms
of the Peters expeditions in the Hilprecht
books. He accuses Jastrow of underhand-
ed and dishonest efforts to becloud the
public mind and poison it against the ac-
