Washington, August 15: ? The State department tonight made pubic the reply of the United States rejecting views set forth by the \u3tro-Hungarian Government in a recent note contending that exportation of war munitions from Amerca to Austra's enemies was conlucted on such a scale as to be "not n consonance with the definition of leutrality." Though friendly, the note flatly lenies the Austro-Hungarian contention, and recalls that that country and Germany furnished munitions to Great Britain during the Boer war, when England's enemies :ould not import such supplies. In this connection the note suggests that had Austria and Germany refused to sell arms to Great Britain it that time "on the ground that to io so would violate the spirit of strict neutrality," the Imperial and Royal Government might with greater consistency and greater m,>'- " ' a Uo nnnfonfinn LUICC UI^C 11/3 kvuwti?>v>? The note insists that the United States is pursuing a strictly neutral :ourse and adhering to a principle )n which it would depend for mulitions in the markets of the world f it should be attacked by a foreign Power. PLACES BLAME ON NOAH, iVbo, It Is Claimed, First Sinned by Eating Cassia Tree. Philadelphia, August 12:?Adam and Eve did not bring about the fall )f man,but it was Noah,according to \ translation of a tablet now in the University of Pennsylvania museum, rhis announcement was made today Dy a representative of the museum. According to the Sumerian theology round on the tablet, which is said to lave been written before the days )f Abraham and which was traasated by Dr Steven L&ngdon, professor of Assyriology in Oxford uni /ersity, England, Noah was ordered lot to eat of the Cassia tree in the harden of Paradise and when he lisobeyed the curse fell on him. The curse was that he should have 11 health and an early death instead >f living to be 50,000 years old like lis ancestors. 1 A J >_ ? According 10 toaay s nuuuuuw nent Dr Langdon asserts this tablet s at least 1,000 years older than the jfenesis account and, so far as is mown, is the oldest record of the sort n existence. The tablet was writ;en more than 4,000 years ago. Babylonian and Sumerain accounts place the flood at something like i,500 B C, and the lapse of time between the creation and the flood is llled by ten kings who reigned altogether 432,000 years, an average of 13,200 years each. The reason that ater kings reigned comparatively jhort periods, the tablet says, is diat Noah sinned in eating of the Cassia tree. E C I A L >f Enameled Wai tted Ware.

Milledgeville, Ga, August 16:?A mob variously estimated at between i 25 and 65 in number overpowered i Warden Smith and guards at the , State prison farm near here at 11 o'clock tonight and quickly got Leo 1 M Frank and rushed him away in an ii automobile. j ii ;j First reports that it might be a '; friends of Frank were dispelled! when a prisoner said he had heard a b member of the mob say Frank's body ' p would be placed tomorrow upon the d grave of Mary Ph&gan at Marietta, a Frank was serving a life sentence b , fnr tViP mnrrlpr nf t.hp crirl. b Shortly before / o ciock tnis morn- j ing he was hanged to an oak tree in j 1 ? ftoof 1>AVA O ff At?

I Frank H Earle, aged 74, said to have been the only survivor of Gen 2 Custer's command when the 7th i cavalry was massacred by Indians at 2 the battle of the Little Big Horn, died at Arkansas City, Ark, Friday. i The mob was orderly but worked P with very quick precision. Eight P i automobiles took the men to within; $ a short distance of the prison. They ii i first cut all wires from Milledgeville. n i Five men went to the house of J $ ' T Smith, warden, covered him with y pistols and stood guard over him. p Other men went to the house of J a M Burke, superintendent of the pris- b on, and held him under cover of e their guns. T Practically every other member ii > of the mob then rushed to the stockade gate nearest the dormitory where 1( Frank was being housed. Only yesterday did the physicians discharge him from the hospital where he had been since being murderously as- a saulted in the dormitory. C As on the night Frank wa3 attack- C ed, only two guards were on duty. E The mob quickly overpowered Chief p Night Guard Hester and the other K man on duty, proceeded to the dorm- ** itory and within a few minutes seized K Frank and rushed him back to the l automobiles. L Those who had been holding Smith L and Burke left as soon as Frank was |j brought out and joined their fellows, y The automobiles, reported to num- M ber eight, then were started in the *j direction of Eatonton. Nothing p more had been heard of them hours p after they left. S Only one member of that part of T the mob that went to the dormitory talked. He gave the commands to the guards which were backed up by the arms of the other members of the mob. ci ti Ci STORY OF THE LYNCHING. n Marietta, Ga, August 17:?Leo M d Frank is dead, a victim of mob law. 1 .
