V, profound effect in Berlin, according to The

AUTHORITY FROM OXFORD
rReVuildihg'!oF the World
Told by Ancient Tablet
TjlRAGMENT of Sumerian tablet,
part of Nippur collection at Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Museum,
tells of recreation of world after
flood.
Translation mado by Dr. Stephen
Herbert Langdon, of Oxford.
Fragment is mate of famous Nip
pur tablet containing epic of flood
and fall of man, which names Noah,
not Adam, as cater of forbidden
fruit.
Search is being made f other
fragments, that would ci.jiplcte
newly found story, dating from
2250 B. C.
A new discovery In prehlstorlo literature
a fragment of the Sumerian story of the
reconstruction of civilisation after the
deluge was announced today by Doctor
Stephen Herbert Langdon, one of the fore
most Sumerian scholars in the world and
assistant curator of tin University of Penn
sylvania Museum.
The story on the shattered clay tablet
from which Doctor Langdon made the trans
lation evidently is a sequel to the Sumerian
eplo of the flood and the fall of man In
scribed on the famous Nippur tablet, which
caused a learned controversy at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania several years ago.
Believing that the complete ftory may be
found, officials of ths museum have Insti
tuted a search among the. "tablets of the
Nippur collection for the fragments that
would-round out the narrative.
"The fragment comes from the right hand
upper corner of a tablet of the same size
as the tablet containing the eplo of par,
adlse, the flood and thecal! of man," said
Doctor Langdon, who is Shlllltoe professor
of- Assyrlology at Oxford University, "It
apparently refers to the reconstruction of
humanity after the flood. The boat or arc
is mentioned, as well as Lahama, the god
of the deluge. Then it goes on to describe
the regeneration of the ancient land of
Sumerla at the hands of the god of wisdom,
Who decreed that Sumerla should be the
center of civilization, and the Sumerlans
the rulers of the world."
So small is the fragment and so dis
figured Is the reverse that no hope of learn
ing the entire story may be entertained
without the discovery of the other frag
ments tlfat would complete the tablet, Doc
tor Langdon said. They may be among the
17,000 "books" which the University of
Cofltlntud. en rase Tire. Column Six

Twenty-five wealthy rhtladelphlans at
least have paid hush-money to members of
the "million dollar blackmail syndicate," ac
cording to Investigators of the Department
of Justice, 'who today are delving deeper
Into the Workings of the organization,
hoping to perfect a dragnet which even
tually will round-up the whole band.
The "syndicate" Is said to have made
$1,000,000 last year preying on wealthy vic
tims in Philadelphia, Atlantic City New
York and Chicago. Philadelphians, how
ever, are said to have been the chief suf
ferers. It Is known that one Philadelphia
woman paid I3E.000 when threats were
made to expose a "little affair."
WORKED IN HOTELS
While the Government has been on the
trail of the gang for many months, and re
gardless of the fact that the swindling has
been effec'trd In tho best hotels, almost un
der the nosrs of tho police, many of the
swindlers are known as the craftiest of
criminals. Thus they have been able to
escape arrest. '
A bomb was exploded In the "syndicate"
camp in Chicago last Saturday, when after
months of Investigation Government detect
ives arrested four men and three women,
said to be members of the gang.
Those arrested were Helen Evers, wife
of George Irwin, said to bs the leader of
the gang; Henry Itussell, Edward Dona
hue, alias Doc Donahue; Mrs. Frances Al
len, Mrs. Edward Donahue, Jimmy Chris
tlan, alias W. J. Cross, and George Bland,
They will bo arraigned beforo a United
States commissioner In Chicago Tuesday.
They probably will bo tried in Philadelphia,
owing to the fact that most of the offenses
were committed here. They were arrested
just as five wealthy men in Chicago had
been "sized up" ready for the "picking."
Special agents of the Department of Jus
tice were ordered from Washington and
New York today to Chicago to aid in com,
pletlng .the tdenUgcatlon otthe alleged,
Blackmailers urid"er arrest there. Al Bruce
Blelaskl, chief of the Investigation Bureau,
said that the department was not yet fully
Informed as to tho Identity of tho persons
under arrest, as some of them are operating
under assumed names.
He said, however, that he was con
vinced that the men and women under ar
rest In Chicago are the leaders of the
band which has operated all over the East,
especially at summer resorts, nnd that ad
ditional arrests will be made very shortly.
ONE OF THEM "SQUEALED"
Members of the gang can attribute their
downfall to the working of that old adage,
"When thieves fall out." Frank Crocker,
a member of the gang, felt that he had
been double-crossed and took Ills revenge
on his erstwhile associates by going to the
Government agents with his tale.
"We've got Crocker In the county Jail,"
said Clabaugh today. "Crocker was the
man from whom information about tho band
first came."
Crocker lives at 41 Blckerstaff street.
Boston. He was a member of the gang that
fleeced Mrs. neglna Kllpper, of Philadel
phia, according to Clabaugh.
"Crocker didn't get what he thought was
coming to him out of that deal," said the
Government investigators. "He followed
Irwin and French, two members of the
gang previously arrested, to Chicago. Ho
renewed his demands and they laughed at
him. .Then he 'squealed.' It waa after this
that Mrs. Kllpper was kidnapped.-

George Long, of Inasmuch Mis
sion, Tells of Drug Rav
ages Here
Social workers throughout the city today
are discussing the assertion of George Long,
superintendent of Inasmuch Mission, that
there are more than 25,000 dope fiends In
Philadelphia. Mr, Long made thl state
ment In an address on dope last night at the
mission.
Captain William J, Norton, of the Volun
teers of America, said today in regard to Mr,
Long's statement;
"There certainly must be fully that num
ber of drug iddicts In this 'city, and the
number is on the Increase. Narcotlo drugs
are undermining the health and morals of
tho city. Our Tenderloin Is manufacturing
dope fiends by the hundred every month.
The pity of It Is that the scourge is getting
the young girls and boys seventeen years
old."
Mr. Long -told his audience that Philadel
phia was the headquarters of (he Jlllclt
narcotlo drug Uafllc of the United States.
Tons of dope, he asserted,, are annually
shipped from this city to all sections ?t the,
country. '
Many In the audience were former dru.j
addicts and they listened with deep interest
to tbe'Btory of Mr. Long's own experience
as a dope fiend. Long began using narcotlo.
drug when he -was it years old and. did
not abanden the habit until he had reached
his th,lrty-tMr4 year, wjUn he was eon
verted in the QeUtee Mllei.
