GOVERNOR ASSAILS ASSEMBLY MEMBERS Says They Lack Courage of Their | Convictions « Hartford, April 20,—Declaring the legislators dia not have the courage of their convictions, hut were like 50 many ants, at the capitol, following where they were led, Govérnor Charles A. Templeton at a clvic club “Juncheon at Hotel Bond today se- yerely criticlzed members of the Con- necticut legisiature for not voting as ghey themselves believed they should vote, He declared that the members of the legislature would sacrifice any< thing else to get half a mile of road- way Installed, “Men came to my office and told me they were absolutely suro 1 was right in the stand 1 had taken on that last measure” (the Kent Hubbard bill) declared the governor, “but they could not vote with me, Such men are cowards and it is up to you men to tell these legislators what they should do. Ninety-nine per cent of tho members of the legislature are honest and mean to do what is right but they get in the crowd and run arcund where they are led."” * Faith in his plan for a three-head- ed highway commission for the state of Connecticut as a sane safeguard on the expenditure of the state's money for-highway was reiterated by the governor. Although not yet as- sured that his plan for the manage- ment of the state highway depart- ment would be approved by the legis- lature the governor announced that 4t it did prevail he would appoint on this eommission Howard Whitmore of Naugatuck, Morgan Brainard of Hartford with the third selection yet to be made. The governor was very -forceful in his discussion of “the state’s busi- ness,” the subject he elected to have for his talk, and he made it plain he bhad had enough of politics and politi- cal influence in the carrying on of the state’s business. He declared with considerahle emotion that never again would he “accept political office, not even “for.the whole city of Washing- ton,”” and revealed the pressure brought to bear on him was tremend- ous.

When the work of the expedition is ! done, he adds, it may yleld a wholly new story, of the inception of the re- liglous movement that prepared the world for Christianity, or it may cor- roborate the story in Genesis, Development of Cities, ' Describing his visit to Ur, the cor- respondent says that it is probably to this 6,000 year old city that the world owes the development of cities, great irrigation schemes, gardens, wa- ter supply, the use of lead and as- phalt, drainage and fortress bullding. “Bricks,” he writes, “were made in Ur earlier than'in Egypt. Here the arch was invented and the vault sys- tematically, used in monumental structures, and it was in Mesopotamia th#& the dome became prominent, Forty centuries before Christ Ur was a great city in the midst of cultiva- tion. Even now the line of silted-in canals can be scen stretching away to the far horizon. Land Has Been Deserted. “For more than 2,500 years,” the correspondent proceeds, “since Darius and his Persian hordes swept over the land, Ur has been deserted ex- cept for Bedouins. That the ruins of a vast city which was once trod by Abraham are there is definitely known. Only tentative exploring shafts have been sunk here and there over the wide expanse, but each has vielded relics of a lost people, the Sumerians, It is now known that after Abraham left Ur there came a long period of difficulties, The im- pending collapse of the dynastry was probably the reason for his departure, “It has been discovered that after destroying the city the conquerors laid pavements over the principal buildings. The tablets, buried in the archives beneath each set of pave- ments, tell the intimate stories of the daily llves of the kings and leaders, merchants, property owners and slaves, Tablets found at Ur show that legal transactions, including mar- riage contracts, sales and tenancies, were witnessed by six persons. It is expected to find the record of prop- erty sold by Abraham before leav- ing Ur. ‘Would Find First Records. “Records obtained so far show that the Sumerians were nearly ex- tinct in Abraham’s time, so that the records are earlier than the Nippur collection. The intentions of the American and British experts are to excavate to the first record of occu- pancy at Ur. Among the finds are tiny leaves of gold which, according to the records, were set upon the lips of the dead; a mannikin of three feet, clad in a sheep skin with tail hanging down, made of some hard, green stone, and hoes and axes, wrought in-stone, which were placed on the altar of the Moon God as em- blems of industry.” COOLIDGE IN HARTFORD Vice-President Will Be Entertained Monday By Small Group of Prom- inent Republicans, Hartford, April 20.—~Vice-President Calvin Coolidge will be in Hartford on Monday and he will be entertained at noon at a private luncheon to be attended by a small group of promin- ent republicans.
