PIEDRAS NEGR AS RUINS STUDY IS GIVEN APPROVAL Guatemalan Government Will Permit Pennsylvania Museum to Excavate Philadelphia, July *—(U.R)—Permission lias bedh granted by the Guatemalan government to the University of Pennsylvania Museum to excavate the ruins of Piedras Negras, “Black Stones," a deserted city of the one great Mayam Empire, it was announced here Saturday by Horace H. F. Jayne, director of the museum. Ewavation work, which will be [ under the direction of Dr. J. Alden Mason, curator of the American I section of the museum, probably will start in February, 1931. It was pointed out that the extended | rainy season in the latter half of the year makes it virtually impossible to accomplish much this year. Formerly a city nearly a mile square, nothing now remains of Piedras Negras but a cluster of ruins in the center of a wild and uninhabited section of forest, two days horseback riding from the nearest town of any consequence. Ths city attained its height about 500 A.D. The expedition, which is being sponsored by Eldridge R. Johnson, member of the board of managers I of the museum, contemplates trans-; porting several huge stelae, or carved stone monuments, from this, jungle wilderness to civilization.. These stelae, which range in' height from 10 to 16 feet and wt*gh| several tons, will be placed on wagons and transported through | the forest for two or three days before they reach a destination where they can be placed on a boat I for shipment to the United States. The stelae which the expedition! proposes to bring here are consid--red particularly fine exhibits of ■ Mayan art, according to Dr. Mason. They are lavishly ornamented with j beautiful figures of gods and godsses carved in high relief. Each bears the date when it was erected. “The land of the Maya nation," I Dr. Mason says, "has frequently j been termed the ‘Egypt of America.’ First employed because of the superficial resemblance of Mayan archaeology to that of Egypt, the term receives especial sanction now that the Maya culture is recognized as probably the oldest of the higher civilizations in America, that it was the fountain head from which many elements of culture spread to the surrounding nations, and that its dated monuments may he employed as the time scale by which other American cultural phenomena can be dated. "The Maya were the only people in America who invented a system of writing and vho were able to make records. In addition to this they worked out an elaborate calendrical system and were well versed in astronomy.” o CHIEF PROBER IS UNDER FIRE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tstus S. Peabody president of the Citizens Association! before being forwarded to State’s attorney Swanson,” said an early edition of the HeraldExatniner. The same paper in I a later edition referred to a runaway letter,” publication of which brought about “surprising results.” Rathbun, who was appointed spe■ial assistant state's attorney to head the special board investigating the reporter's murder, had no remarks to make concerning publica-1 tion of the letter. But his paper, the Tribune, quoted Loesch as saying he would withdra whis signature and support “because he had been misled," Drunker as saying the letter had been 'misinterpreted," and Peabody as being angry over use of his name. Slate’s attorney John A. Swanson to whom the "runaway” letter was addressed, wouldn’t comment, he said, until he received it. He indicated the same time that the Lingle murder case would not be presented to his new grand jury immediately, or until he has “more substantial evidence” to offer. Police and others investigating the Lingle murder and the maze of" clues, possibilities and rumors that have developed since the reporter was killed by gangsters in a pedestrian subway on June 9 turned ’heir attention to Springfield, 111., where had been found the body of
