Oriental Pearls Found in Grave Of Indian On Barnes Plantation Puzzle to Experts On Migration; - Gems From Far Off Asia Strung Around Neck of Brave Before He Is Placed in Burial Mound on P_roperty of Local Man. The discovery in an old Indian burial mound in Georgia, or whn.t experts have called “Oriental” arls was one of the rewards of Luther M. Barnes of Lincoln street when he and his employes opened up the mound on his southern plan- tation this winter, and Mr. Barnes now has a number of unusual rel- fes as a result of his archeological excavations. The pearls are remarkable be- eause of their character. They are in & necklace which was found around what was once the neck of a skeleton. The piece of jewelry was found to be composed of alternate farge and small objects of & pecu- Mar chalky texture, but when Mr. Barnes acraped two of the smaller ones he discovered, under the outer coating, glistening Wwhite spheres which resembled pearis. He took them to a jeweler, who examined them and told him that not only were they pearls but they were Ori- ental pearls, which are not found In this country. This has raised a puzzle which Mr. Barnes has been unable to solve. ft is not believed that the mound had been disturbed since the last English-8panish-Indian battle in Georgia about 200 years ago, and how the Indians came into posses- sion of Asiatic gems is a mystery. It is possible, Mr. Barnes thinks that they may have obtained them from the Spaniards, although this seems unlikely because of the vora- cious manner in which the Spanish dealt with the Indians. Well Dug By Spaniards ‘Mr. Barnes owns Woodbine plan- tation, a large estate in Woodbine, Georgia, just north of the Florida state line near Jacksonville. The tand thereabouts has many histori- eal associations. On his property there is an old well dug by the Spaniards, who were the first white men to settle that section of what Is now the United States. Later the jand became a rice plantation, but it had fallen into disuse long be- fore the local man bought it and much of the property is now a great swamp, densely overgrown with a tangle of wold trees and penetrated by former canals and the 8atilla river. This river, old deeds and maps in Mr. Barnes's possesion show, was originally named the “8t. llla" river, but this term has been corrupted by common practice and now appears in the version on maps. Mr. Barnes knew for a long time that there was an Indian burial mound on the plantation, but it was only recently that he dug into it. He and his helpers were rewarded by the discovery of a partially mouldered skeleton, buried in a sitting position and surrounded by weapons and ornaments placed there to accompany their owner to the “happy hunting ground.” The necklace with the pearls was the most notable of these articles. Another necklace composed entire- Iy of pleces of the chalky material was also found. Mr. Barnes is un- certain of the composition of this stuff. It looks as if it were a sedi- mentary rock, as there are definite strata in it, but it is white and is a0 chalky that it can actually be used for writing. A number of separate pieces of this material and of bone were also discovered. None of them are of fine workmanship except for the cleanly bored holes through some of them. Stone Hatchet Head Discovered A stone hatchet head was also found, as was a similarly shaped but much larger atone which may have been the head of a battle axe but appears too heavy to have been wielded in this fashion. Both of these atones are sharp on one end and finely rounded on the other, and it is believed the bigger one, which weighs more than two pounds, may have been a hand tool used for chopping with one end and for pounding with the other. The records which became Mr. Barnes' property as part of the land transfer are also very interest- ing. They trace the title to the property for almost 200 years and are written, in ink now almost fad- ed into jllegibility, on paper- which is yellow and frayed. Included among the deeds aré many record- ing the sale of slaves at s0 much per head. ‘This spring the plantation was on the edge of the path of a great hur- ricane which swept the southeastern states, and the road was so blocked with fallen trees that it was several | days before the Barneses could travers it to town. JUDGES UPSET ON ROAD T0 HARTFORD Booth and Wolle Have Slight Accident—Escape Unburt Hartford, June 25 (®—Bringing| with them a tale of adventure on the New Haven to Hartford road, Supe- rior Court Judges John Rufus Booth and Isaac Wolfe arrived at the county building this morning in ex- cellent health and spirits. They had made the trip in a roadster driven by Judge Booth, not, however, without mishap. In turn- ing aside on the road to avoid a horse and wagon, Judge Bootm was forced to drive over into a ditch alongside the highway. The car tipped on its side, dump- ing the two jurists onto the ground. Both, however, were unhurt, and continued to Hartford in ample time for the opening of court. Judge Wolfe is one of the three judges sitting in the trial of *“Cow- bey" Frank Di Battista, and Judge Booth is presiding on the civil side. C. Or' C.

Perry, 67 year old fisherman of this city, was reported today to be resting comfortably at the Home Memo- rial hospital following the ampu- tation of his right arm above the elbow. The arm was torn almost com- pletely off late yesterday when it was caught in a rope of a net which Perry, who was alone, was engaged in hauling up in Long Island 8ound near Race Rock. When he finally succeeded in releasing his arm, Perry found it dangling by a mere thread. He wrenched the arm off, dropped it m the boat, succeeded in starting the motor and, suffering excru- ciating pain, covered the seven miles to this city, moored his craft at a wharf and walked to a friend’s house, He was taken to the hospital and night an op- eration was performed in an ef- fort to save his life through the removal of the mutilated mem- ber above tne elbow.

Police, in predicting an early ar- rest, stated that a Boston youth who ! spent much of his time in Newton! was the suspect. Descriptions of the assailant furnished by the victims! resembled his, it was said. The first attack occurred on June 12 on a lonely road between Weston and Lincoln, the victim being a Cambridge girl whose name was withheld. S8he reported the assail- ant threatened to burn her alive after throwing gasoline on her cloth- ing while she lay unconscious from the effects of the beating. She es- caped from the young man after a struggle, she said, ran down the road and later went home in a pass- ing automobile. Last Saturday night, Miss Mary Raramian, 32, of the Back Bay, went motoring with a new acquaintance who, as in the first case, gave his name as “Robinson.” She told po- lice he drove to the same lonely spot between Weston and Lincoln, | parked, and made objectionable ad- | vances. In the struggle that followed, Miss Saramian injured one of her feet which recently had been oper- ated on, and she told police she was forced to crawl a mile oh her hands and knees for aid. CABINET WILL CONSIDER AMNESTY FOR ALSATIANS | Ousted Teachers and Leaders May Be Freed on Action of Chamber of Deputies, Suggested Next Paris, June 25 (—The French cabinet decided today to present to the chamber of deputies a bill grant- ing amnesty to the two Alsatian autonomist leaders, Dr. Eugene Rick- lin, and M.

Even this ban would be lifted by the bill which parliament is expected to adopt immediately. Alsatian unrest has given French official circles grave concern, and the cabinet's decision was regarded as the inevitable consequence of the acquittal at Besancon last Saturday of former Deputy Roos on similar charges. Both Ricklin and Rosse were tried and convicted at Colmar.
