FIND LEAD TABLET
Man Here Says Grave OF Virginia
Dare Located in Washington.

Practically all of Virginia Dare:
descendants are satisfied that one OF
the mysteries of history has been
solved with the discovery of lead slab
in January in the city of Washington,
ID. c., bearing an inscription indicat-
ing that Virginia Dare, first white
child born i'll America, had been buried
theirs.
This is the statement made by J.
Steffins White of New York City who
Is stopping at the St. Anthony hotel.
Mr.. White is a descendant of Cover
nor John White of Virginia, grand
father of Virginia Dare.
The slab of which Mr.. White spoke
was unearthed in Washington Jan
uary > by Russell Kaufman who was
digging in his back yard. 1t is one
eighth of an inch thick, fourteen inch
es long and six inches wide. 1t was
buried but three feet under the ground
and when cleaned with an acid the fol-
lowing inscription, apparently cut
with hot instrument, was disclosed !:
Virginia Dare"
Died Here.

"Charles R."
Virginia Dare was the grand
daughter Of Governor John White and
daughter Of one of his official staff
whose expedition to establish an agri-
cultural colony left England in 1851,
arriving in the summer at Roanoke
Island, Virginia, where the child was
born the same year. Governor White
soon left for England, and, returning
one year later, was unable TO find any
trace of the colony or the child.
Officials Of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute have declined to express any opin-
ion on the genuineness of the find
pending more thorough examination.
Mr.. White said, however, that the
descendants of Virginia Dare are GER
tain that the tablet is entirely anthem
tic and considerable interest has been
aroused in the White family over the
discovery.
The Whites from Governor John
White down have always been indus
trial and interested in geology, ac-
cording to !. Steffins White. He said
that his grandfather. Lawson w.
White and his father. Capt. Charles
j. White, engaged in numerous indus
trial undertakings. Some Of the ac-
complishments Of the family have
been the building of toll roads in early
colonial times and the building of
railroads and canals later.
j. Steffins White, says he is a geol-
ogist and president of the American
Transport and Refining company OF
New York, which has quite extensive
oil holdings.

with the handsome, dashing Count

her, the count married her and for
many years they lived in exile. Paris

Portland. Sept. 4.-Errors played a
critical part in splitting the double bill
between Portland and Lewiston here
today, the Green Sox looking bad in
the opening game and losing to /,
while in the second Lewiston blew up
in the eighth inning and presented the
locals with 5 to . victory.
The Athletics touched Lanky Jordan
hard in the opening game but 1t was
the Portland spit baller's luck that
most of the hits should come after err
rors behind him had placed him in the
hole. Twice Portland miscued when
easy double plays were possible, while
Adams found little trouble in the box
for the visitors.
The second game was close until the
very end. Lewiston scored the first
run of the tilt in the fifth when Buck
Gaudette homered. The Sox tied the
count in the same frame, but Lewiston
took a lead of one run in the following
stanza when Prior singled and scored
on two wild pitches. In the eighth the
Lewiston infield went blooey and
Leid's solid single was the only hit
made during the inning, four runs
scoring.
