IN PASSPORT PLOT

NEW YORK. Feb. 25 Richard Mad

den of Hoboken, N. J., who was ar

rested in connection with the alleged plot to secure United States passports for German spies, was arraigned this afternoon before United State Commissioner Houghton and held for the federal grand Jury in the sum of $15,000 bail.

A collection of six genuine, ancient Babylonian tablets is now on exhibit

ion in a Main street window. These tablets are very small in size but the

inscriptions upon them in the arrow-

headed characters of the ancient Chal

deans and Babylonians are peculiarly distinct and well formed. The collect

ion was purchased by W. D. Foulke from Edgar G. Banks, who made ex

cavations in Babylon some years ago for the University of Chicago. They are part of a collection of a European dealer who is now in the war and sent

his collection to Mr. Banks asking him '

to sell them and return the proceeds

to nis tamily.

Tablets are Old. The first of these is a typical con

tract tablet bearing the name of Neb

uchadnezzar who was king of Babylon

from 605 to 562 B. C. It is dated in

the 13th year of his reign or 592 B. C. ! It was Nebuchadnezzar who conquered Syria and destroyed Jerusalem, burn-j ed the temple and led the Jews into captivity. He adorned Babylon, buiid-l ing the bridge over the Euphrates and the new palace with its hanging gar-i dens, and he erected the Median wail !

from the Euphrates to the Tigris together with magnificent water works. The date of this particular tablet is six years before the destruction of Jerusalem. But this tablet is of comparatively recently origin. The second, tablet which was found at Warka, the Biblical Erech, mentioned in Genesis 10:10, is dated 2100 years before Christ. Genesis gives the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth. The sons of Ham were Cush, Miztainana, Phut and Canaan. "And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a might hunter before the Lord, wherefore it was said, "Even

GOOD ROADS LEADER TO ATTEND LECTURE

Clarence Kenyon, president of the Indiana Good Roads association will be present at the road construction exhibition to be held tomorrow at 10 and 2:30 o'clock in the Commercial club rooms under Edward H. Barrett, state geologist. Although the meeting is open to all residents of the county, special Invitations' have been issued to a few. Prof. Hole has been asked to bring his class of Earlham students to the exhibition. County officials, township trustees and road men have been asked to attend. The exhibition includes several tons of models.

Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord, and the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and .Calneh in the land of Shinar." This tablet is a votive cone which was made and inscribed by the temple priests and sold to the visiting pilgrims, who thrust it into the wall between the bricks as an offering for the welfare of the king. The inscription reads: "For Sin-ga-shid, the

mighty here, King of Erech, King of Amany, in the temple of the Goddess Ishtar, which he built in the royal

residence of his kingdom." The date

of the cone is 2100 B. B.

But even this tablet, which goes back nearly to the time of the deluge.

is more recent than the four remaining

tablets, which are as follows:

No. 2. Pound at Jokha. A messenger tablet, with a list of provisions supplied the temple messenger for a journey about the country while he was collecting offerings for the temple. The messenger tablets are small and rare and are more highly prized than

any others because the writing upon

them is the finest and best. This

one comes from about. 2350 B. C. Is Temple Record.

No.4. Found at Jokha. A typical

tcirsple record of the offerings, date

about 2350 B. C.

io. o. .rouna at urenem. This is a temple receipt for one lamb delivered for the offerings. The tablet Avas not burned, but merely sundried, and therefore, the clay is soft. It came from early in the Ur dynasty, or

about 2350 B. C.

No. 6. Found at Jokha. An unusually perfect and distinct tablet of the average size, which is -a temple re

ceipt for gram delivered at the temple. The line of writing on the back is the date early in the Ur dynasty, or about 2350 B. C.

SOCIETY MEETS. The Queen Esther society of Grace Methodist church met last evening

at the home of Miss T?lanch

Compton, 348 Randolph street.

TBY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. That the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company reported to its stockholders as assets of the corporation worth millions, securities of subsidaries which generally are considered of little or no value, was the statement made today by Frederick C. Sharood, expert accountant for the Interstate Commerce commission at the re-opening of the inquiry into the railroad's finances. Sharood said the Rock Island's statement to its stockholders, dated June 30, 1914, declared the corporation ha a surplus of $6,199,941. To obtain this showing, Sharood said, the company included stock of the Trinity and Brazos Valley railroad held by the Rock Island, as worth $3,600,000, whereas it really is worthless because the Trinity line has an $8,000,000 deficit and is operating at a loss of $1,000,000 a year.
