Sturtevant of Yale Unt- versity, who presented his discover- fes at a joint session of the Lingulstio Soclety of America and the Ameri- |can Philolological association held re- cently in Cincinnati. The tablet was bought from a dealer in antiques for the Yale Babylonian collection by the late Profemsor Albert T. Clay, Where the dealer got it is not known, but its appearance, the shape of the characters on it, and particularly the language of the inscription suggest that the ultimate source is the vil- lage of Bodhas Keul, ninety miles east of Angora, the present capital of Turkey. Very likely, Professor Sturtevant said here today, it was stolen by a laborer during the exca- vations carried on there by the Ger- man archaclogist, Hugo Winkler, ‘in 1907 and 1908, The language and insacription s that of the Hittite empire, which was very powerful in the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries B. C., and whoso capital, Hattusas, was on the site of Boghaz Keui. Its power was broken and the capital destroyed about 1200 B. C. by invading barbarians from Europe. The very existence of the | Hittite state in Asia Minor was so far per is now used. ‘The Yale tablet i the firet Hittite document to be interproted in this country, and one of a very few at present in American museums, It contains directions for performing two sacrifices to Innaras, the god of manhood. The purpose of the first sacrifice is to drive out the effemin. ate Innaras and to brin gin the mas- culine Innaras, so that the sons may be bern to the sacrificer. The aecond gacrifice is designed to avert the anger of Innares. Albert T. Clay, who secured the tablet for the university, was William M. Laffan professor of Assyriology and Babylonian “literature at Yale from 1910 until his death in 1925. He was famous as an assyriologist and Babylonlan acholar and was founder of the American School of Oriental Ressarch in Bagdad. The Yale Babylonian collection, of which Profemsor Clay was curator, contains over eight thousand Bumerian and Babylonian inscriptions and other antiques, dating from the earliest period known in history down to the second century before the Christlan era, covering a period of between four and five thousand years. Professor Sturtevant, who deci- phered the tablet, is a graduate of forgotten in later centuries that the name camesto be applied to the ments for other qUarterk qu.nT-outhcrmou province of the empire, which had been erected into an in- lege, the University of Mis- d Columbia university, be- ¢ ing to Yale. He is a mem. ber of the executive committee of the Linguistic SBociety of America, 8 Unconsclous as Choir Sings “Throw Out Lifeline” Jan. 30 UM—A blaskjack in the hands of a negro cholrmaster wtopped the source of biue notes at the services in the Friendship Bap- tiet church yesterday, the leader and the singer were un- conscious, the worship continued. Deacon Thomas Chapman disliked the sour notes and silently drawing a blackjack, felled Casey McGurick Jones, baritone, who was singing off key. George Washington McGaveck, basso, objected, and tearing a tele- phone from the wall felled Deacon Chapman. - Later when Sergeant Mulvihill dropped in, as was his custom; the choir, led by McGavock was singing, “Throw Out the Lifeline,” while toth Peacon Chapman and Jones lay unconscious, side by side in front of the choir.
