-fSDOS. May 1 5.-The' Paint

travel ow flCa and land as she is
of her vgorgeoas coloring -- Her
husband, loo. likes migratory
mshts, and. according to scien
tific researchers, these butterflies
in great numbers have been known
to make journeys from Turkey to
England.
C.JB. Williams, chief entomolo
gist of, the Egyptian ministry- of
griulture. who has been study
ing he habits of the Painted Lady
for several years, gave an account
of his work in a recent Issue of
Nature. The butterfly of this spe

England. They leave the desert
early In the spring and arrive in
the Vicinity of the southern shores
of the Mediterranean usually
aboat April. From Palestine .they
appear to fly through SyriU and
Turkey to the Balkan states, and
from '"'Ecvnt. Triooli and. Algeria
they cross to southern fcarope. All
during the flight stragglers and

Prof. Wutz now conies out with
the new and somewhat startling
statement that1 the Septuaglnta Is
largely a reproduction of Hebrew
words written with Greelc letters.
He claims to hare discovered that
as early as 200 B. C. Jewish schol
are ' utilized ' Greek-Hebrew texts
for their translations into Greek.
These transciptions, he ; believes,
funished not only an elucidation of
the Septuaginta a feat hitherto
considered impossible but 7 also
open up an entirely new vista 1n
old biblical literature. An author
ity like Kittel recognizes in these
discoveries of Wutz a likely means
of arriving at the much sought-for
original Hebrew text of the Old
Testament. - - ;

(By Associated Press,') Jonathan
M. Davis, former governor, charg
ed with seeking a bribe; admitted
on the stand today that several
parts of a statement given the
press to explain why his son, Rus
sell O. Davis, had delivered a par
don, to Fred Tollman, a forger,
were not true, C. B. Griffith, at
torney general, pressed- tho de
fendant late today to admit that
a "Peterson route" really H was
mentioned before? the executive ex
pressed a willingness to parole
Walter Grundy, an embezzler.
Mr. Davis denied this, however.:
The fortnergovernor, however,;
held his ground.
A. h. Oswald, Hutchinson attor
ney who represented Grundy in a
parole application, 'had testified
that Davis was cold to appears for
executive clemency ; until Oswald
said:
"Well I guess the only thing to
do is to take the Peterson route.
'The phrase "Peterson route,"
Oswald declared, related to reports
that' Oswald had heard pardons
were being sold through the office
of Carl J. Peterson, bank commis
sioner. Suggestion of the "Peterson
route,? according to Oswald's tes
timony, led to the solicitation of
a $2500 bribe by jboth the gover
nor and Peterson. , Davis branded
as false 1 the statement that the
words "Peterson route" ever were
used by Oswald In any conversa
tion with him.
Davis had undergone four hours
of cross examination upon the ad
journment of court tonight. The
attorney general will resume ques
tioning him In the morning.
Davis tried to make a speech to.
the jury to explain the Inaccuracy
of parts of "the statement given
the press January! 10. V
"Wait!" shouted Griffith, hold
ing up an arm, "your attorneys
will give "you a chance to talk."
"I thought you'd give me the
chance, countered Davis. , ' ,

the repartee. ; ': y
Jjudge James A. McClure rapped

every spectator from the court
room; r "
