providing For Old Horses.

a certain Herr Franz Bizony. who
died not long ago, was a great lover
Of animals. He dwelt at Miskolez,
Hungary, and In his will bequeathed
$4,000 to the city for the founding OF
a home for old horses.
More than a hundred horses, don
keys, cats, dogs and birds had their
homes in outhouses and stables on his
property during his lifetime. With the
exception Of his manservant, it Is said
that Herr Bizony had not seen anOth-
er human being for twelve years be;
fore his death.

Prince Humbert, heir to the Italian
throne, better known by his official
title as Prince of Piedmont, was born
ten years ago. In the early summer
he embarked on the man-of-war Puglia

Mediterranean. Heretofore the young
prince has spent his summers with his
mother and three sisters, but he wants

TELLS OF CIVILIZATION
In BABYLONIAN DESERT
Tribes 5000 Years Ago Further Ad-
vanced Than Arabs of To-
day, Says Banks.

From evidence gathered in excava-
tions in dhe Babylonian Desert, there is
little doubt that the region was inhabited
1900 years ago by a people of higher
civilization than the Arab tribe living
In that district today" said Prof. Edgar
j. Banks, who acted as field director Of
the Rockefeller expedition sent out TO
BabyIonia from the University of Chi
cago in an illustrated lecture at the Ma
tionaI Museum yesterday afternoon. on
"Bismya: the Lost City of Adab.' The
lecture was given under the auspices of
the Anthropological Society Of Washing
ton. following their. thirty-ffth annual
meeting.
1T seems reasonable to suppose -
stated Mr.. Banks. that Babylonian and
Egyptian civilizations and picture writ
ing might have had their origin in some
common tribe unknown to scientists. At
any rate. the traces OF civilization that
we discovered. pointed TO a wonderfully
developed city and people. Pottery frag-
ments and bricks. known to be 400 years
old. were discovered, and a statue OF
an ancient king was exhumed which un-
doubtedly dates back to 500 B. c"

AMERICANS TREATED

Declares Tales of Torture of For

Untrue.

Clarence Hay. son OF the late John
Hay. former Secretary OF State, one of
the first refugees to go directly from
Mexico City to New York. came TO
Washington yesterday, to acquaint the
administration with the true conditions
in Mexico City. Mr. Hay was at Vera
Cruz when the American marines seized
the city, and he Witnessed some of the
fighting.
Mr. Hay was associated with Prof Al
fred NJ. Tozzer. OF the Harvard anthro-
biological department, in making archae-
illogical studies in the valley Of Mexico.
My final remembrance of my last days
with Huerta,' said Hay. was at the
great fire a day or so before we left
which. for a time. threatened the entire
city. The President watched the flames
from the back seat OF his machine. He
happened TO be in boastful mood. as he
frequently is. when there is plenty OF
brandy in his system.
That's a big fire. Mr.. President said
one of his associates.
Not as big a fire as I will start in

the Mexican leaders retOrt. He was us
ing a native cOlloquialism. meaning that
he would not sit quiet II a landing were
attempted at the port OF Vera Cruz.
Later he gave Gen. Mas instructions TO
go the limit in defense of the town.
"On Monday. April 20. the day before
Admiral Fletcher's men landed on the
coast. about $50 Americans were herded
together on a refugee train bound for
Vera Cruz. We were treated. as we had
been through the entire winter. with
