states have expressed doubt as TO Its

20 ingcnlously worked out that no real

There are -four bills in all The FIST

the second enacts a new registration

registration and the ballot box TO ne
groes owning and paying taxes on $500

TO insert this provision. as the Demo.
cratic leaders desire 10 shut ont only
the thriftless and ignorant negroes
and are willing TO admit to the ballot
box those who have sufficient thrift TO
accumulate $500 worth of property.
This property qualification is
thought preferable TO an educational
qualification. because II Is believed
that the negro who has accumulated
property will prove better worthy OF
the franchise than the educated negro,
who may be weighted with all the
shiftlessness OF his race.

Says Hnlpreeh; Table, is a Fraud.

The tablet that Professor Herman

sylyania, announced two weeks ago he
had discovered in an expedition to
Palestine. and which he said upheld
the Biblical story OF the deluge. was
denounced at a meeting OF the Amerl.
can Oriental society at the Johns Hop
kins university in Baltimore. Md, as a
fabrication and as an exploitation OF
an archaeological fraud for purely SEN
sational purposes. The paper. which
was on the --latest addition TO the
Babylonian literature of the deluge
story" was presented by Professor
George A. Barton. OF Bryn Mawr col.
lege. He took up in detail the conten-
tions OF Professor IIilpl chit and show.
ed that they were fallacious in every
particular.
ITO those who know Professor Hill
precht" said Professor Barton. IAN
elaborate refutation of his theories
will be unnecessary. Nevertheless.
hope 10 show that his statements
about the tablet are not only incorrect
as regards Interpretation. absolutely
wrong as regards the alleged are TO
which ne attributes them and totally
OF no significance from a Biblical
standpoint"
DR. Barton said that the scholarship
which Professor Hilprecht manifested
in his translation Of the text OF his
tablet was hardly worthy Of first
year student In Hebrew. and that the
restorations which he made in the
case OF filing In broken lines we're
purely conIectural lamentations and
that the chances Of his interpretations
being correct. were only about enc In
hundred.
"While occasionally his translation
OF line is sound" continued Dr.. Bar
ton. his drawing upon his Imagination
In filling out the broken lines was en-
tirely too free"
