ion that the blaze was caused either by
the stove being knocked over or by ex-
ploding.
Mrs. Wright, in whose apartment the
fatality occurred. stated Thursday night
that there was no one IN the place ex-
cept the two victims. Mrs. Wright had
left at about $50 o'clock to go to her work.
She also stated that Mrs. Jackson had
been in poor health for some time The
couple had been rooming at Mrs. Wrights
apartment for nearly II year. They for
merly came from Greensboro, where the
man has relatives. Letters found in the
room failed to reveal the given name of
the unfortunate woman. 1t was learned
from these letters however that she had
been corresponding with sister, Mrs.
John Norcott of pa Eagle street East
Boston. Mass.
The man was not employed about the
city other than in repairing watches and
the like in his room at times. 1t was
stated Thursday by Mrs. Wright that
he had been receiving an allowance from
his relatives in Greensboro.
The fire itself did only slight damage to
the furnishings of the room. The chem
zeal was used to eXtlnguish the blaze.
Since the above account of the tragedy
was put into type additional information
has been secured. II is learned that
Agnes c. McGrath. who roomed in the
same house with the Jacksons. was prac-
tically the first to go into the room after
the fire broke out.
She had been in the room about an hour
before the tragedy and started to go in
again. As she opened the door. she found
Mr.. Jackson on the floor with his trou
sers on fire. The oil heater was turned
down and an open kerosene can was
nearby. as if Mr.. Jackson had been try
ing to fill the heater. Mrs. Jackson lay
on the bed waving her arms. Miss Nc
Grath says that she helped put out thu
fire on the mans clothes. There wa:
blaze on the table leg and along thu
floor. The alarm was rung in as soon al
possible, but before the firemen arrived
Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson had evidently sue
cumbed to the smoke.

MAKING DIAMONDS POSSIBLE
President of Dutch Workers Union
Admits Artificial Process May
Be Known.

discriminatory Polak presl
dent of the Dutch Diamond Workers
union. says 1t is not impossible that
a German explosives firm has dis
covered how to manufacture diamonds
artificially. as 1t claims to have DONE
The chief difficulty is to obtain an
unbelievably powerful pressure under
the right circumstances, M. Polak ex-
planned. Since 1t is manufacturer
of explosives which is reported to have
discovered the method Of making dia-
monds, he said 1t was possible that
experiMenters had succeeded In OBJ
tanning the desired pressure
M. Polak expressed some doubt as to
whether diamonds could be manufac-
tured artificially at less than the cost
of mining them.
1t was recently announced In Berlin
that dynamite company of Hamburg
had obtained the patent for the man
ufacture Of diamonds and was In a
position to produce several hundred
carats daily at cost less than the
present world price for the natural
stones.

OLDEST PORTRAIT
FOUND ON STAMP
Discovered In Pennsylvania Unl-
versity's Collection Of Tablets
From BabyIonia.
IT IS A LIKENESS OF IBI-SIN
Picture Of the Last King Of Ur 10 on
a Clay Stamp and 10 az Clearly
Defined az the Day It
Was Made.

Philadelphia, Pa.-What is believed
being has been discovered In the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania museum COL
lection. Of clay tablets from BabylOnia
according to an announcement by Gu
ratOr Lagrain Of the Babylonian sec
ton. The portrait is on a clay post
age stamp" which also served as a
seal for a registered package, dated
about 23OO B. @.
1t is a likeness Of Ibi-Sin, the last
king of Ur. known to Bible students
as Ur Of the Chaldee.
The package or sack bearing the
seal, Doctor Lagrain said, appears to
have been sent by the high priest Of
the Temple Of Or, In which Abraham
later worshiped, to banker named
Shulpae, and probably contained gold.
Shows Personal Appearance.
ut is of unusual Importance to
psychologists" he added, because 1t
probably gives a clew to the personal
appearance Of the Sumerians.
'"The portrait Is on clay stamp. It
is as clear and distinct and the fea-
lures as well defined as the day 1t was
made. The astonishing thing is that
1t shows the cooking as smooth
shaven. It Is significant that the pic
ture shows lock of hair projecting in
the forehead from beneath the tur-
ban hat and another from behind.
ibl-Sln Was Different.
Before the days of Ibi-Sin we never
heard Of king giving any one
seal containing his portrait, but in
this instance the seal not only dis
tinctly says the king-god gave the
seal to the high priest of the Temple
of Ur, but shows picture of the
event.
Possibly the fact that Ibi.Sin was
the last Of his dynasty and may have
seen the end coming. was responsible
