new RECORD OF
DELUGE FOUND
Cunieform Tablet of 210O B. G.
Has the Bible Story
Parallel

Philadelphia. March 19.-The dis
covery of a fragment of a cuneiform
tablet, believed to be of the period
21O0 B. c.. bearing an account of the
deluge described in the bible and
agreeing with the narrative in Gene
sis, was reported here last night by
Prof. H. v. Hilprecht at a gathering
of friends of the University of Penn
sylvania at the home of Provost Har-
rison.
This fragment, which has just been
deciphered was one of those exca-
waited from the lowest strata of the
Oldest part of the ruins of the temple
Tibberary of Nippur and was brought
to this city by the expedition sent
out by the University of Pennsylvania
in 1899. 1t is of unbaked clay, and
measures two and three-quarter in
ches at its greatest width and two and
three-eighth inches at it's greatest
length.
AS translated by Prof. Hilprecht,
the narrative contained ON the tablet
is as follows:
Il Il declare unto) thee that con-
fines of heaven l will loosen. de-
luge I will make and it shall sweep
away oil 1AOA lO6CtuCIS UuI tllOu (IQc
Babylonian Noah) seek life before the
deluge cometh forth: for to all living
beings, as many as there are l will
bring overthrow, destruction. ami
hilation, y build great
ship and total height shall
be its structure. 1t shall be house
boat carrying what has been saved
of life. With strong
deck cover it. The ship which thou
shalt make into ii bring the beasts
of the field, the birds of heaven and
the creeping things, two of every
thing instead of a number
and the family. 80
The oldest tablet heretofore known
containing an account of the flood is
the "Layard deluge tablet" now in the
British museum. but the latter only
dated from $50 B. c. The "Layard
tablet" agreed with the details of the
hihla in only few particulars.

Pittsburg, March 19.-Five hun.
dred men from all sections of the
country, prominent in political and

were guests at the annual banquet Of

Special trains from Chicago and
New York over the Pennsylvania

Robert Mather, chairman of the
board Of directors Of the Westing-

the principal speaker was Chancellor
James r. Day Of Syracuse. Chancel-
lor Day asked who Of our fathers
could have believed that, in little
more than q hundred years, our con-
stitution would be set aside and the
will of a man substituted for the will
Of the people?
} "Today the leading representatives
in the senate and house of represen-
tatives," he said, "are called together
by the president of the United States,
some of whom have been chosen by
his approval, and told what kind Of
laws he wishes passed, and what, in
deed, he will permit to be passed.
Before a man of the people has
spoken in congress, or q word has
been heard from the numerous states,
this country is told from the white
house what the laws of the people
should be and what they must be.
mo country was ever subjected to
such an assault by its lawmakers and
administrators. No other country
could have withstood 1t and survived.
I'VE no sooner begin to turn our

Not Yet Settled.

Philadelphia, March 19.-After a
week Of peace talk and innumerable
conferences between the union lead
ers and tn peacemakers, the striking
motormen and conductors and the Of
ficials of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company were today appar-
emily still far apart. There was,
however, on both sides a better feel
ing which might lead at any time to
the opening OF negotiations. = :
This was the twenty ninth day of
the street car strike and the fifteenth
Of the general walk-out. There have
been few desertions from the ranks of
the trolley men but there is a slow
movement toward return to work on
the part Of the general strikers. The
return is not universal, but each day
finds few more men going back, so
that today there is not near as great
number idle as during the first few
days Of the sympathetic strike.
The dynamiting Of three cars in
different parts Of the city last night
are the first serious acts of violence
reported in nearly week.
