The fascinating interest of the an cient ruins in RhOdOsia, South Africa, drew the attention of archeolOgistS of the British association during its re- cent meetings at Cape Town. Among these ruins the most conspicuous is the great ZimhabWa temple, which lies about 204 miles inland from the Indian ocean. The oldest of the ruined buildings are believed to date back at least to the days of King Solo mon. It IS thought that they were constructed by Semitic colOnlsts, whose chief object was gold mining, and who have left indications of their worship of Baal and Ashtaroth, as described in the Bible. Experts believe that pre- cious metal to the value of $9,0O0, 900 or $4,OO0,O00 must have been extracted from the gold reefs of RhodeSia in an cient times.

The inhabitants of the New Heb; rides, composed of 12 large and 100 smaller islands, believe in witchcrad and all sorts of signs and omens. par ticularly of their departed ancestors and in gods which are thought to be incorporated in certain stones or ani- malls.

Here the natives meet on moonlight nights and perform wild and fantastic antics to the booming of their deep drums, some of which, six feet or more in height and carved from the trunks of trees, are capable of making terrible noises.

TO INVESTIGATE CHARGES.
Bureau Sends Agent to Look Into
Nashville Soldier Plant.

The Veterans Bureau has sent a
special representative to Nashville to
investigate conditions in the Tennes-
see Agricultural Institution there and
remove all former soldier inmates if
necessary, the bureau announced to-
day.
The action was taken. the bureau
explained, as result of charges of
extortion practiced upon negro sole
dier inmates of the institution by U.
]. Hale, it's colored president. Re
moval Of Hale from the institution
was demanded of the Tennessee board
of education last week by Director
Forbes.
Hale, officials said, has resigned
from supervision of the former serv-
ice men in the school. but has not
severed his connection with the in
stitution. The latter step, officials
said, would be insisted upon by the
bureau. The representative of the
bureau left for Nashville armed with
authority to withdraw the 200 colored
soldiers from the school and place
them in other institutions unless the
removal of Hale was effected.

walt, was reported last night to the
local Red Cross nurse by residents
! of Highland avenue, and police were

by the police, but he protested his
innocence. although Greenwalt said
he was one of the boys who drove a
nail through his hand and were in
| the act of driving one through the
other when his cries for help fright
] ened them away.
The GreenWalt boy, who went to the
home of Fred Hill. after the latter's 8
son had assisted in pulling the nail
| from Greenwalt's hand. said he was
| attacked by two negroes in the Bal
| timore and Ohio freight yard and
that they dragged him to Toulouse
nearby. where they started to cru
city him.
! While one boy held GreenwalS the
other. it was alleged. procured nails
| and stone and nailed his arm
against the building. The other hand
was being nailed in like manner
away.
| Greenwalt said the negroes told him
! they intended also to mail up" Fred
| Hills boy.
: Young Greenwalt was suffering in
| tensely when taken to the Red Cross
Office, where Miss Margaret Showers,
executive secretary, and Miss Ger
| trude Higgins, district nurse, heard
his story.
A physician attended the boy and
several large doses of antitoxin were
Injected into his back to prevent
