Curator May Have Found
Site of Legendary Tribe

Lincoln, Neb,, Oct. 2s R-What
may have been the habitat OF the
legendary lost tribe OF Cherokee
Indians for which the famous
Chief sequoia lost his life In the
search In 1S4s. has been uncovered
In Richardson county, Nebraska. by
u. z. Blackman. curator OF the
State Historical society museum.
Prof. Blackman found the re-
mains OF an ancient Indian city, to-
gether with several pieces OF pot
terry and many Clipped flint tools,
different from those made by tribes
hitherto known to have inhabited
that region.
Unearthed articles bear unmls-
taxable signs OF Cherokee origin,
Mr.. Blackman said. This led him
to believe 1t possible that the site
was once the location of the lost
tribe which legends say split away
from the tribal homo IN southeast
ern United States and pushed
across the Mississippi never TO re-
turn. The migration Is supposed TO
have taken place before the white
man came to America.

AUTO PRESENTED
TO RABBI HADAS
Surprise Features Business
Meeting Held at Synagogue

Rabbi Gershon Hadas of the Con-
gregation Brethren Sons of Israel
was presented with an automobile by
the congregation last evening.
Rabbi Hadas had called business
at the synagogue and knew
nothing of the intention Of his flock
to present him with the machine, a
sedan, until the speech was made
by Attorney George Levitt. The
recipient was at a loss for words, he
admitted, for the first time since
coming to New Britain.
1t was originally intended to have
the automobile driven Il Rabbi
Hadas' home in the Sherman apart
ments Oh West Main street by a
committee of the congregation. But
the committee decided to seize the
opportunity offered by the calling of
the business meeting and while the
session was In progress I. Goldman
drove the car 10 the synagogue and
parked it at the curb.
Rabbi and Mrs. Hadas have been
in New Britain since last July and
in that short period have endeared
themselves to all the members Of
the congregation. The former
finds 1t necessary to go to all parts
Of tho city to attend to the spirit
ual necdsAof his flock and the con-
gregation decided TO tighten his
labors by furnishing him with an
automobile. The machine is fully
equipped aud registered with the
motor vehicle commissioner at Hart
ford. The committee was thought
full enough even to have proper in
surance taken out and to have the
tank filled TO the brim with gaso-
line.
About 60 were in attendance at
the presentation after which a
luncheon was served.
The business meeting was called
to discuss the situation at the Tai
mud Torah, where religion instruc-
tons are given to Jewish youth and
children. There are now $50 pupils
registered, compared with so prior
to the advent Of Rabbi Hadas. 1t
was decided to enlarge the teach
ing personnel and to make other
improvements which are necessary.
