Series of Hand -to.hand En-

Display Takes Place

New Orleans, Jan. 10.-(AP)---
Participants were reticenf today con.
cerning a series Of hand to-hand en-:
counters and flare Of gun display
that broke out yesterday in st.
Bernard parish, adjoining Orleans
parish which embraces New Orleans,
during selection of a jury to try the
first of seven registration suits
against Mrs. Anthony Leon, regi-
strar of the parish.
No shots were fired, but in brief
battle between Parish Judge J.
Claude Meraux and the husband of
the woman registrar, Judge Meraux
sustained q broken finger and body
bruises.
The registrar had ruled that sew
en- voters were disqualified for the
Democratic primary January II, and
those affected had brought suit to
have their names returned to the
official registration lists.
Started in Court Room
Spectators declared that the first
disturbance was staged in the court
room, in the form of q near fight
between one of the audience and
Neil Quave, plaintiff, whose case
was to be tried first. Judge Meraux
is said to have left his bench to
quell the scene.
The climax came in the court yard
after opposing attorneys had suc-
cessfully moved that the cases be
continued until Thursday. Preced-
ing the move for the continuance Of
the cases, a spirited legal battle
had. developed over the judges ac-
ceptance of the husband Of one Of
the seven plaintiffs as a juryman.
Outside the walls, Judge Meraux and
Leon met and their fight began, and
those who described it said that the
barrels Of shot guns and rifles were
apparent behind the trees and in
court house windows.
"The only thing that prevented
bloodshed was. the fact that the
members Of the opposing factions
were so closely intermingled that
neither could fire without danger to
the other contingent" said one wit
ness.

SLAB HELPS IN
CHECKING Time
HierogIyphs Give CIeW to
Correlating Maya and
Christian Calendar.
BY EMMA REH STEVENSON
Science Service Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, May 11.-Maya
hieroglyphs carved on comment
orative slab over 1900 years ago,
giving the exact date Of spring
equinox, may serve as an important
check on the various methods used
by scientists in correlating Magyar
and Christian time.
The writing was recently trans
lated by Enrique Juan Palacios OF
the Direction of Archaeology Of the
Mexican Ministry of Education. It
is inscribed on stone stella found
on the main terrace Of the ancient
ruined city of Santa Elena, Chiapas,
within the area that was once the
brilliant scene of the Old Maya en-
pire which flourished during the
first 800 years of the Christian Era
in southern Mexico and Central
America.
Symbol Is Clew
The stone was found over a year
ago, but until the present time only
the dedicatory date had been de-
ciphered. This important date Of
the unwilling" of the monument,
which also fixed the date of the city,
was carved out in full by the an
GENT Maya sculptor.
There are numerous methods of
reading Maya dates that have been
worked out by psychologists. The
method used by Palacios is one de-
vised by the Maya chronologjst Juan
Martinez Hernandez. According to
his system of date-reading, the in
augural date of the stone, 2 ahau
IS Xul in Maya, falls on June IA,
674 A. D.
On the slab are other groups of
symbols that tell about the spring
equinox Of that year and when it
occurred. There is the symbolic
representation of the equinox itself.
Another group of symbols in con-
nection with the equinox sign ex-
pressed the simple number "a. Pa
lacios found that by counting back
"a days from the date of the un-
yelling, June IA, 674, he came to the
other date, March %, STA A. D.,
which was the date of the equinox
in that year.
Other Methods Proved Wrong
This appears to be check on the
system of date-reading devised by
Juan Martinez Hernandez, and Pa
lacios points out that any other of
the methods of reading, such as
those used by English and American
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-05-11

scholars would lead to entirely diff
ferent dates.
In addition to the usual dedica-
ton dates, Maya stelae generally
contain much unreliable material,
but which appears to allude to vari-
Gus astronomical phenomena and
important events in the tropical
year.
