EARLY RECORDS HEPT ON ARy Famous Kensington Rune Stone Now in Wisconsin { | Ephriam, Wis,, 24—Kensing- | ton Rune Stone, the documents of American history, over Sept one of oldest which sclentists of two continents debated as to its genuineness more than 20 years ago, now has a per- manent home farm of H. R. Holand, author, near here. Beveral socicties and eminent au- thorities have classed the stone as authentic as to discovery and con- teat, and say it proves to them that there were white exploring the interior of America as eary as 1362, The Kensington called because of its discovery the farm of Olaf Ohman, near Ken- sington, Minnesota, when found was encircled by the roots of a trec appeared to be very ancient in acter. It carried a date than eight hundred years in the past. The presumption is that th on the people Rune Stone, so- | on | anc har- more IMPORTANT MOVE IN CHINESE WAR (Gen.

Mr. Holand has trapsiated Runic inscription on the stone follows: “Eight Goths and twenty-two | Norsemen on (an) exploration jour- | ney from Vinland through the west- | ern regions. We had camp by two skerries one day's journey porth from this stone. We were (out) and| tished one day. When we came home (we) found ten men red with blood and dead. Ave Maria! Save (us) from evil! “(We) have ten of our party the sea to look after (or for) vessels 14 days' journey from island, Year 1362.” The ten men mentioned in the text | are supposed to have been members | of the exploration party left to watch the camp while thq rest went tishing, as stated. In theory, the story of the ex-| ploration party’s presence in Ameri- ca is that an expedition was fitted out in Norway in 1355 by Paul Knut- son in relief of Colonists in Green- land. It is believed that Knutson eventually reached Vinland and not finding those of whom he came in search, journeyed on to what is now the Hudson Bay country. The time eof this expedition fits in with the date inscribed on the Rune Stone. The wordyAve Maria” of the text indicates the presence of a Catholic priest in the expedition, Mr. Holand says. Very litle is known of the Knutson expedition or of its return, but it is known that the men inciuded in its | personnel were a long time absent. A further theory is that the “blond Eskimos,” described by the explorer Vilhjalmur Stefs as ly the as| by | our this fansson having been found by him west of Hudson Bay in 1909, may have been descendants of the "lost colonists,” in search of which Knutson went Election of Officers Ends Bankers’ Meeting Cleveland, Sept. 24.—Action = on committee reports and the election of officers today will close the 13th convention of the Investment Bank- ers’ association of America.
