ANCIENT LAWS OF INTEREST
Oldest Known Written Code Has Re-
Gently Been Translated by Emil
nent French Scientist

What is said TO be the oldest known
written code of laws In the world,
probably antedating that of Hammur-
abb by at least 1000 years, has been
discovered in part among the hitherto
untranSlated clay tablets from Nippur
at the University of Pennsylvania I-u-
scum.
The Hammurabi code was prepared
about POO b. c., and was discovered
about 20 years ago on a large dlorite
stone by French explorers.
The laws, just translated by Able
'Scheil Of Paris, deal with responsible
ties Of hired servants, rentals. rights
of slave women who have borne chill
dren to their masters, punishment for
adultery, etc.
One interesting statute provides that
rentals must run for three years in
case a man has taken over a house
the owner does not know how TO man.
age. This is somewhat obscure and
may mean that all rentals were for
that term. In any event property
could not be idle or be improperly
used
In case a slave bore children to her
master she and the offspring were
free, and If the master married the
slave the children became legitimate.

Fortunately for Murray the sort of
patronage most calculated to de-
velop his genius has found him
out in his quiet lair, and the re-
suit has been a series of camera
portraits and photograph compost
tions of unique character and
poetic charm. His preoccupation
just now is the completion of a
series of portraits of the best
known artists who live and work
in and about Washington Square
These will be incorporated in a
distinctive volume, "Greenwich
Village and It's Artists" a veri-
table "Who's Who" of the VILLAGE.

FIRST, STATEMENT ON MOoTED
QUESTION IS GIVEN OUT
BY SECRETARY cOLBY.
ISSUED BY CONSENT or JAPS
Outcome Of The Movement to Re-cast
Land Laws Of California Must be
Acceptable to Country at Large.

Washington.-The State Depart

that no outcome Of the movement II
California to re-cast the state laws af'
fecting alien land tenure will be ac-
ceptable to the country at large that
does not accord with existing and ap-
plicable provisions Of law and, what
is equally important, with the ma

The statement was the first issued
on the California land question, which
long has been matter of converse
tion between the department and the
Japanese ambassador to Washington.
The fact that it was issued on the eve
OF the election in California at waich
the proposed new state law is to bo
voted upon was declared by State De-
partment officials to have no political
. significance.
The impression was given that the
chief purpose was to convey an as
surance to the people CT JaDan that
the American government would SEQ
to it that their legitimate irterest
would be snfeguarded and would c1tl-
tinue to have the consideration 70
which they we're entitled.
