, All tile world loves a bluejacket, but
comparatively few Americans are ac

Navy, Mr. Josephus Daniels, has long

public knon him better for what he

At the Orpheum
A rattling duo of song and comedy
entertainers is iMack and Orth, who,
with their hodge podge of nonsense and
mirth are proving one of the big hits
j on the popular array of Keith hits at
the Orpheum this week. Their sketch
is a comedy vehicle, not entirely dif
-1 erent from the one in which they ap
i peared here in several years ago. al
' though it is considerably brightened by
the addition of new song hits. How-
I ever, in the case of iMack aud Orth,
:t dosen'; seem to be their material.
'For the boys are so decidedly clever
and pleasing that no matter what thev
10, say or sing, always seems to please.
I Since this celebrated duo of song
writers last appeared at the Orpheum
they added some new aud tuneful songs
to their loug list of publications and
this week they are singing some of their
latest as well as some of the old fa
vorites. Mack and Orth offer one of
the tine Keith hits that are supporting
I na * lavton and company in their ex
cellent comedy dama, entitled "Milk."
; Also on the same bill Boganghi's
Midget Rider is scoring the comedy hit

fairly reveling in the act offered by the

FOUND AFTER 4,0(10 YEARS
Yale Recovers aud Is Deciphering
Babylonian Law Code Tablet
New Haven. Conn., Jan. 29.—A
Babylonian tablet, believed to have
been buried in the earth more than
4.000 years and containing the earliest
law code, recently has been unearthed;
and is now in possesion of Yale Uni
versity, it became known yesterday.
The tablet is heavily encrusted, but
part of it has beeu cleaned ami de
ciphered.
I he laws are written in the Sumerian
language, the language of Southern
Babylonia, prior to its conquest bv the
Semites or Accadians, in the time of
Hammarabi. Owing to the imperfe-'t
knowledge tff the language, the work
of deciphering is extremely difficult,
but the university expects to'have com
plete translations made and published.
The laws that have been translated
; refer to legislation concerning injury to
| women; the repudiation of children
[who have beeu adopted: elopement; the
hire of boats and cattle, and provision
i tor the killing of a hired ox by a lion.
These laws ar believed to have beeu
written about 2,500 B. C.
(iIRL WANTS DIVORCE. TOO
Thinks Judge Hands Them Out Like
Calling Cards
Detroit. Jan. 29.—Judge Van Zile
had just handed out three divorce de
trees in rapid-fire fashion, when a slip
of a girl elbowed her way among at
j torneys and clients to the witness
| stand.
"Mr. Judge, I'd like to have one
of those, if you piease," she said in
genuously.
"I want my marriage annulled. He
told me he was single, but I found out
too late that he was a married man.''
continued she with a choke in her
throat.
Judge \an Zile leaned over his desk
and peered at her over his spectacles.
•'Mv dear young woman, a divorce
can't be had so easily. We don't hand
them out here like calling cards, even
though it may have looked to you that
way. You 'II have to get an attorney.
Then you come back, and we'll see
what we can do for you."
The girl drew back for a moment
as if stunned with disappointment.
Then she rushed from the court room
without another word.
NO RIGHTS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL
Minnesota Court Upholds Discrimina
tion Against Colored Girl
Brainerd, Minn., Jan. 29.—1n the '
matter of their treatment in Sunday
schools, negroes have no civil rights.
This was the ruling of Judge W. S.
McC'lenahan in the district court here.
Mary C. Marshall, coolred, ltl years
old. had brought suit against the offi
cers of a Sunday school at Aitkin,
Minn., alleging she had been discrimi
nated against while attending religious
services, being forced to sit apart from
the white members.
"No legislative body," Judge Mc-
Clenahan said, "ever specifically in
cluded churches or religious societies in
the so-called civil rights act. For
courts to undertake to'dictate how they
shall conduct their affairr would meet
with just resentment and would be of
doubtful legality ou constitutional
grounds."
AMERICAN CAPTAIN PILOTS
HIS VESSEL THROUCH MINE
STREWN WATERSAT BREMEN
New York, Jan. 29.—Captain Ed
ward T. Pinchin, who piloted the Amer
ican steamer Elmoute through mine
strewn waters sat'clv into the harbor
of Bremen on New Year's Day, brought
his ship bock to this port to-day. Al-1
though Captain Pinchin *» feat was re
garded with amazement at Bremen, he
was arrested before his ship could dis
charge its catgo of 6,000 bales of cot
ton, questioned at length and finally ta
ken before a German admiral who cross
examined him anil released him.
Because of the double distinction of ]
guiding his ship through the mine!
fields and of bringing the American \
flag into Bremen harbor for the first j
time in 4 4 years aboard a merchant
vessel, Captain Pinclvin was royally en
tertained. he said, during his stay in i
Bretneu.
Feat Performed in Fog
Captain Pinchin said that he hail*
steered his vessel through a prohibited!
channel into Bremen harbor during a
fog. Because of tiie fog he etju led the j
cordon of German battleships anil ]
cruisers stationed at the entrance. The'
first the German naval authorities knew'
of his intentions was when the fo?|
lifted and they saw Elmonte lying at. j
anchor.
Elmonte sailed from New York De-!
eenrber 11, stopping here on her way to j
Bremen from Galveston. She arrive.!
at Dover, England, on Christmas Day
and had to wait till the next day, on j
account of the holiday, to obtain per
mission from the British Admiralty toj
continue her trip to Bremen. Captain i
Pinchin said that after he left Dover
he was heU up by patrol boats at Deal!
tiil a party of junior naval o fibers who
boarded her were satisfied as to her
cargo and destination.
After Elmonte had discharged her
cargo at Bremen her crew of American
sailors were given shore leave. They
were welcomed by citizens with a great
demonstration, Captain Pinchin said. El
monte brought back a cargo of salt
from Bremen.

; ASKS U. S. ENVOY TO ACT
FOR AUSTRIAN PRISONERS
Berlin, via London. Jan. 29. —Word
| was received here yesterday from
| Vienna that the Austrian Foreign Min
, ister, Baron Stephan Buriau, had cabled
11 Secretary Bryan, at Washington, ex
j pressing regret that the American dip
| lomatic representative in Russia, into
I whose care Austrian interests in that,
i | country were committed at the out
■ ; break of the war, had not been able to
1 j afford better protection to Austrian and
. German prisoners of war. Baron Burian
i j suggests that the American Ambassa
| dor at Petrograd make new representa
tions to the Russian government in be
! halt' of the prisoners.
The condition of the prisoners, Baron
i j Burian says, has not been improved,
; either in France or Russia, since Sec-
J retary Bryan took action in their be
. j half some time ago. Baron Burian re
quests a telegraphic reply from Mr.
