(U.R) Police here have; a problem on their hnnria in the DPrson of One Charlie Schmidt, aged 65. Schmidt likes au. Evr since he arrived here five years ago, broke a.nd hungry, Schmidt's only comfortable moments mo-ments have been spent in the lnrlnm: He never misses a chance to get behind prison bars. - Six times mis year, acnmiai was booked for idling and loitering loiter-ing .si times Police Recorder A W. Callaway sent him to the cooler, f But- on the seventh time, he balked. "What's the use of punishing this man," Callaway reasoned "when he enjoys his punishment?" punish-ment?" Picked Up Again , Recently, officers again found Schmidt sleeping in a downtown doorway. They tapped the thin soles of his shoes with a nightstick. night-stick. Schmidt blinked, looked up and broke into a wide smile. When the wagon arrived, he almost chuckled aloud. The next day, Schmidt was taken before Judge Callaway, his head bowed, perhaps to hide a grin, and his checkered cap in hand. Callaway was so Irritated by the regularity of the culprit that he refused to send him to Jail. "Find some other place for him togo," he told Mrs. Clyde Aven, a policewoman. Prefers Road Gang Mrs. Aven asked Schmidt what his pleasure would be. His answer left her baffled, in view of Callaway's Calla-way's order. Schmidt replied that he wanted Nile Sands Believed Hiding Ancient Civilization Stdry KHARTOUM, Sudan 0J.PJ The unwritten . story of an : ancient Christian civilization in Africa may be buried beneath the desert sands ' around Karlma and . Don-f Don-f ola, on the banks of the Nile. Disturbed only by the hooves of occasional gazelle, this wilderness is believed to conceal the history of a people who populated the area thickly until 1340 A.D. The people built cities, had their own particular culture , and kept an outpost of Christendom flourishing in the depths of -the Moslem-controlled middle - east for nearly. 800 years An amateur archeologist has set out with camels and Sudanese bearers to survey the area at his own expense. He is Terence Gray, a wealthy Irishman, resident - of the south of France. . His purpose is to collect as many "clues" as possible about this civilization and then to re port to P. Ik Shinnie, archeology commissioner for the Sudan gov eminent. . Blank Chapter Gray's finds, though not sensa tional, have convinced Shinnie that a full-scale scientific expe dition. should be sent out to the Karlma area. "It will fill in a blank chapter of history if such an expedition is. financed, Shinnie said. If the expedition is not sent, it is likely that the "blank chap ter" never will be written. The Egyptian government is almost certain to start construction of a new dam in the locality soon, and the site of Shinnie's proposed in vestigations wlu -toe flooded by the waters of the Nile. The archeology commissioner has drawn up a detailed plan for a large expedition, armed with equipment for digging deep enough to fold ' back the desert from the remains' of temples and burial ; grounds which he feels certain lie under the sands. Probably Nubians It is believed that the Christian Chris-tian population of this extinct nation na-tion were Nubians. They were converted by missionaries of Greek extraction who were sent by the Empress Theodora of Constantinople, Con-stantinople, in 540 A.D.; Theodora was at one time a harlot dancing girl, but became a devout and active Christian after her marriage to the emperor. Constantinople, - or Byzantium, was at that time the capital of the eastern half of the split Roman Ro-man empire. It is amazing, Shinnie said, to realize that, while the western world was besieged by the forces of .uncivilized barbarians, , Theodora's Theo-dora's missionaries were able to reach the Sudan and found the Christian community. The Christian civilization is be lieved to have been finally overrun over-run in -the middle of :he 14th century by 'Moslem forces from the north. No massacres are known to have taken place, and the reason : for .the gradual degeneration de-generation and final disappearance disappear-ance of the population of the area is another point which Shinnie wants te clear up. y . - - r . - H r' 5 d Church Funds Swell as People Turn Out To Kiss Blarney Stone at 50c Apiece to "work with the road gang." When told that he absolutely would not get a stockade sen tence, Schmidt was on the verge of tears. "I've no place to go," he mourned. : . Mrs. Aven told him that "no man should spend his entire life in jail, especially if he's not - a criminal." But Schmidt found no comfort in sociology. "I like to be around the jail." the wrinkled little man explained. ex-plained. "People are so good to me here. Now they are trying to find a solution of his problem.

The nrrnxion was festival at St Mary's cathedral and the piece of limestone, described as weigning 15 pounds, was obtained by James Cummins of San Francisco. Cummins, as the story goes, got it from a cousin, one -Patric Connolly Con-nolly of county Cork, Ireland.
