having murdered the oil millionaire,
probably will net be pressed, it was in
Sicated to-day at the Office of the Car
ter County attorney. The information
vas fled two days after Hamon was
shot last November.
Such action, following the young
woman's acquittal, probably would be
regarded as persecution, it was said.

live together ten years in an Ardmore
hotel in which the late Republican Ma
tional Committeeman from Oklahoma

undecided whether the information

DIGGING INTO HISTORY
WITH PICK AND

Recent deciphering Of clay tablet
which may add a thousand years to
the span Of recorded history-for It
contains a code Of lave said TO- ante
date that Of Hammurabi by mil
lennium-is another reminder that
Psychologists are finding stranger true
stories than fiction can reveal. The
pick and the spade Of the explorer
have resulted in astounding revela-
lions, says a communication to the
National Geographic society from Al
bert T. Clay, who has deciphered some
of the most famous of the documents.
"Above all else, one Of the great
est surprises Is that the earliest peo-
pies, instead Of being barbarous OF
uncultured, were civilized and pos
sessed culture of d high order
writes Doctor Clay.
Several ancient Libraries and i'm
mense archives have been found

Years ago the library Of Ashurbanipal
(668-626 B. CO. was discovered at
Nineveh. In more recent years tenn
pie and school libraries have been
found at Nippur, Sippar, Larsa. Baby
lon. and Erech. The libraries Of the
FIRST three sites belong chiefly to the
third millennium B. c.; those Of the
last two belong to later periods.
But especially large archives OF
these documents. numbering several
hundred thousand and belonging to
the third and fourth millenniums b.

Drehem, Jokha, and recently at Or.
"The Code of Hammurabi. written
about 2OO0 B. c., upon large and
somewhat irregular stele, is perhaps
the most important monument of an
tiquity Of a high order. In cOdifyins
his laws Hammurabi arranged them
in a definite and logical order. based
upon accepted judicial decisions. In
no better way is it possible to become
acquainted with the everyday life OF
the ancient Babylonian than by a care

POSEN, THE EXPERIMENT

The province OF POsen, formerly
part of Germany's eastern Prussia.
and one Of the most important frag-
ments Of old Poland, which has been
incorporated in the new war-born Pc
land, was the unhappy experiment

an alien population.
Until the northern portion Of Posen
fell to Prussia. after the first par
tition Of Poland in 1872, and the re-
mainder was annexed to Prussia n
years later. Posen's history was blend

with the frst partition. 1t will be re-
called that Frederick the Great adopt
ed the ingenious scheme Of surround
ing those parts Of Poland he desired
with a military force. on the pretext
that he was seeking to check the
spread Of cattle disease.
After being banded for brief pc
Rod, Posen fell to Prussia again in
1915, ard for more than half a cen
fury Germany paid little heed to it.
After the division Of the vast estates
and other economic changes, Polish
middle classes in POsen began to pros
per, whereupon, toward the last quar-
ter Of the nineteenth century. Prussia
began to take notice of its provincial
"Topsy." Germans had been immi-

fury and the newcomers, at first were
welcomed. Severance of Posen from
Poland changed that feeling though
| open friction was not generated until
Prussia began her repressive meas

Polish mobiles had kept alive Pc
lish traditions, but Prussia was more
alarmed by the prosperity Of the Poles
than by what. today, might be called
the mobiles propaganda. So she sci
