sent from Nome, Alaska, via Seattle,
to the New York Sun, Lieutenant Ralph

nue Cutter Bear, gives a graphic descrip
tion of the disaster that befell the
wrecked steamship Karluk of the Stcf
nnsson North Pole expedition. Lieu
tenant Dempwolf quote the survivors
on board the Bear as saying that the
Karluk was hard and fast In the Ice
pack from early October up to January
10, when the ship was crushed and sank.
Vi. L. McKlnlay and J. R Hadly, two
of the survivors, are on the Bear.
Fearing disaster when the Karluk was
drifting toward the North Pole, Captain
Bartlett, of that vessel, had skin clothing
made for all the ship's company by an
Eskimo and his wife Bartlett also had
the sledges and gear put In order and,
as a further protection, the ship's crew
each day chopped the ice around the
Karl.ik Into small pieces to make a
cushion against the pressure of the ice
pack. respite that precaution, the vessel
gradually settled In the water after being
crushed, and disappeared on January 10

this morning after completing the.i tour

Palmer asserted, was a political com

to an accident to tho machinery.
Whtlo the naval olllcers In charge of

It Is understood that tho gcneiators had
burned out because of the high pressuie
at which the plant has been forced to run
night nnd day. In an endeavor to dispatch
all the messages accepted for transmlh-
ion. As the Tuckerton .station Is one of
two In the 1'nlted States furnishing direct

practlcillj swiimpcd with work since tho
i.ibles censed operation.
Tho generators affected by the break

use tit Tuckerton Is of German manu
f.ictute, thye may be much difficulty in
replacing tho destroyed parts fo that the
plant may bo kept out of commission for

POLITICAL MOVIES

HISSES IN THEATRE
Mothers and Children Ex
press Disapproval as Air of
Decided Coolness Per
vades Playhouse.
An air of decided coolness pervaded the
Apollo Theatre, ."2d street and Qlrard
avenue, nt tho matinee this afternoon,
when a moving picture of Senator Penrose
was flashed on the screen. Thcro were
also a few hisses from the mothers pres
ent when tho Senator's picture appeared,
ns his object of getting before tho public.
In this way has been made plain to
them.
The Senator was shown addressing a
crowd of worklngmen at Homewood, Pa.
Ho wore his familiar expression of al
leged sincerity, and to thoso not ac
quainted with his political deeds, he
seemed to mean all ho was saying.
When tho plcturo appeared at the same
theatre last night. It was hissed by the
chlldworkers present. It was evident that
they had heard their parents tell how lit
tle Penrose had done for the working
children generally, and so they gave vent
to their disapproval of the senior Sena
tor's nctlon In an emphatic manner.
Tho hisses finally turned Into laughter
mingled with plain criticism, which left no
doubt where the children stood. The
mnnngement, It Is said. Is considering
removing the picture from the bill.

Tho part played by woman In tho fail

contradict tho story of tho creation ana

The facts disclosed In the translation.;
of Dr. Langdon antedate In their result ,
nil Hebraic lltorature by more than 10"
years. Tho original text of tho tablet!,
according to Dr. Langdon, was written'
by a priest of the town of Nippur, In
the valley of the Euphrates, more than,
!2?.years beroro Abraham and mora than
1300 years previous to tho departure 0i'"
the children of Israel from Egypt.
Dr. Langdon mokes tho following com

land of primeval bliss, which It locates at
Dilmun. an Island In tho Persian Gulf,'
and probably connected with the raaln.
land In prehistoric times. In this paradlij"
dwelt mankind, whom Ntntud, the crea

ANGRY "WATER GOD SENDS FLOOD.
"In Paradise Enkl, the water god an4
lord ot all wisdom, ruled over mankind
with his wlfo. After a long period Enkl
becamo dissatisfied with manklnc ly

I take It to mean that man did not rthderK

reason Enkl sends the flood, and frail'

but the Klrts of Dilmun and to'rhflnj'
pious ones are summoned to tne snores
of tho rlvor by Nlntud. They embark on
a ship. After the deluge tho King Is
called Tagtug, tho dlvlno, a name which.
Is most probably rendered into bemiuof
by Nuhu (God's wrath Is appeased), and
this Tagtug lives In a garden. Is himself
a gardener, and the wise Enkl revealed
unto him wisdom. The Greek historians,
too, preserved this story in the legend of
Oannes, who rose fiom tho Persian Gulf
to teach men wisdom In primeval times,
and so Tagtug. as In the Hebrew story of
Noah, plants a garden, names tho treej
and plants nnd Is permitted to eat of all
but tho Cassia (apple) tree,
"Tho Cassia In Sumerian documents l
tho herb of healing, as well ns In Seraltlo
and Greek medicine. The legends In re
gard to It probably told of Its being th
plant which bestowed absolute Immortal.
Ity. Of this plant Tagtug was not to eat,
for thereby ho would attain eternal life.
Mankind until this time possessed ex.
tremo longevity, but not Immortality.
Tagtug, however, on his own Initiative
fnV., nnri pntn Tie l.q cursed bv Nlntud
'and becomes a prey to disease nnd ordl
nary mortality. Then In the original
Sumerlnn Htorv Noah, tho survivor of the.
flood. Is the one who eats from the tree,
of life. No woman Is concerned In this
disobedience, which resulted In our losl'
of perfect health and countless years.
TRADITION OF THE SCRPKNT.
"From certain sources which connect
the Cassia nllh tho serpent and the
curse. I Infer, however, that the Sumei
lans had a trndltlon regarding the ser
pent tempter, which Induced man to eat
from the tree of life. It Is possible, too.
that from some other source we may yet
obtain evidence that In Sumerian tradi
tion a woman also figured In the InflnlH
sin. Our document, however, mentions no
wlfo of Tagtug. After the loss of eternal
bliss the estate of man evidently becams
painful nnd tortured, therefore the goas
sent them eight divine patrons to cars
for the fields, to heal disease, and presiui
over the various arts."
It Is malntnlned by what are known"
followers of the higher criticism that
Genesis Is a comparative book in wnic
threo or four narratives have been rathef
crudely combined. Thus there are t
accounts In the enrller chapters which w
not agree, and two accounts of the noon
which are quite different, but easily eP.
