Finds Key to Inscription

Thus. in an indirect manner. the story
OF Virgll's "Aeneid" receives scientific
corroboration. Dr. Jordan, president Of
Stanford university, said:
DR. Hempl has made a most impor-
tant discovery. The deciphering Of
these Etruscan Inscriptions overturns
the popular idea that there is no con-
nection between the Romans and the
Etruscans. Dr. Hempl, with his key to
Etruscan inscriptions, will make enor-
nous changes in our views of the an
cient history of Rome and Greece"

Police Commission Decides Not <.
 To Pay Men While Not on Out,

A meeting of the Police Commission was held last night in the office of Mayor Teague, alfA members being present. The Secretary of the Com mission, H. w, Parrish, read a letter from the City Attorney, c. P. Mo Intyre. in which he informed the Com mission that he considered the matter of removing the houses of prostitution on Smythe and Eugene Streets within the Jurisdiction of the Commission But as the City Council has taken the mat ter up, 1t was decided to wait until after the next meeting of the Council before further action should be taken.
 The petition of former PatrOlman John A. LaPrade, asking for continu- ance of his salary while he was unable to work, was heard. As five months pay has already been given since he has been disabled. and as the City Code forbids the paying of salary while a person is not on duty, it was decld- ed that his salary could not continue; but that his place would be held open until he was able to serve again. The resignations of G. S. Berry and H. S. Brady from the police force were ac- cepted.
 The applications of John Starr and J. E. Nichol to serve on the police force were considered, and they were added as suprenumerary members of the police force. The petition of Bicycle Patrolman R. s. Cloud for the payment of four days salary while he was off duty caused from injuries sus- tained by falling from his wheel. was considered and on the recommendation of the Chief of Police, the petition was granted.
 The Commission then adjourned. The Commissioners present were. besides the Mayor. E. Lobman and James Gal laRher.

First sxirmish Battle Between PhysR- clans and Druggists Results in Victory for the Drug
 Store People.

Columbus. Ga. Jan. 1s.-(Special. ) The first skirmish in the battle be- tween the Muscogee County Medical Society and certain of the city drug gists, resulted in a victory for the drug store folks in Muscogee Superior Court today, when Shepherd Crimson, a prominent young pharmacist. charg- ed with practising medicine without license. was found not guilty by jury as quickly as 1t could write the ver- dict.
 Two other eases of similar character, ih which the doctors through their as- sociation. were also the prosecutors, were continued untii the next term of court.
 In the case tried today, a negro went to drugstore and received from Mir. Brinson medicine that the druggist re- commended as good for his trouble. The druggists action was, strictly speaking. prescribing for the negro. but the judge charged that if he did not receive compensation for so pre- scribing. he was not practicing medi. cine in the eyes of the law.

 But I do not think it inappropriate to refer to some of the expressions that fal. from the lips of men promi- nenk in public life, that are utterly lacking in any sympathy of that kind, and are that cruel and abrupt in their meaning, if they are to be given the meaning that the words naturally bear. refer to those gentlemen who deem 1t necessary to affirm that, in the in. terest of this country the negro rac6 should have no education. Now, | am glad to know and believe that those men, in their hearts, do not be- lieve that; 1t come rather more from a desire to say something that shall have sensational effect. than itNdoes from a real spirit-I was going to say, of cruelty towards a race that desiyes from those of us who are white all the aid, all the assistance and all the sym pathy we can give them.

HappineA he as- serted, was not to be found in the possession of the luxuries of life, but in the consciousness of having done the best you could, under the circum- stances. Work brought good diges- tion, and this was no small matter, as he could testify from many banquets.
