SEARCH LIKELY FOR LOST TOMB OF ALEXANDER

Mosque Site in Namesake City to Be Excavated in Search. CAIRO, Jan. 31. A search Tor the tomb of Alexander the Great is likely to be conducted at last in his namesake city. Harold Carter, explaining his plans for the com- , ing season’s final work at the tomb of Tutankhamen, expressed interest in seeking the tom) of Alexander after his excavations at the Valley of the Kings are ended. Residents of Egypt have countered with the suggestion that Egypt well might undertake this important ■search, and at present the need for locating Alexander's tomb is a much discussed topic. The Macedonian conqueror who fought the greater part of his world and won it. died in Babylon. Plutarch stated that Alexander was ‘akcn to Alexandria and buried in a "old coffin. Herodotus, another historian, mentions seeing a glass sarcophagus of Alexander as it was carried in a procession leading westward from the Euphrates river. If the tomb is in Alexandria at ail, it is most likely to be at the site of the Mosque of Nebi Daniel. Plans lor excavating in this neighborhood were discu ed at the annual meeting of the Royal Society of Alexandria. held this month. Professor Breccia, curate of the Greco-Roman museum at Alexandria, urged that the city undertake the excavations to unearth the tomb of its founder. The neighborhood of the mosque is considered worthy of careful ex- , ploration. for it was the part of the ancient city where other rulers ! probably were buried. A granite pillar, still erect, was unearthed partly not long ago by workmen engaged m street repairs in this neighborhood and this bit of evidence of ancient construction further has stimulated interest in scientific study of the place. Doubt that Alexander ever was buried in Egypt has been expressed by a correspondent in the Egyptian Gazette, who Cites r oasons why the Greek hero would more likely have been taken back to his native town of Pella for burial. He points out that Perdicas was the most influential of Alexander’s generals, and that this Perdicas would not have taken the conqueror’s body to Egypt, because Perdica s arch-rival was Ptolemy of Egypt. The cortege seen by Herodotus, moving westward, might well have been heading toward a port to embark for the Macedonian j town of Pella, he contends.

“LAUGHING LADY” NOW AT INDIANA Nat Pendleton, actor and athlete, who is playing the role of a lifeguard in “The Laughing Lady” with Ruth Chatterton and Clive Brook, is said to have held many amateur wTesrling championships and is recognized as one of the foremost challengers for the present professor,al heavyweight wrestling crown. Pendleton won the Olympic wrestling championship in 1920. He has taken part in more than 250 amateur and professional bouts, has only one momento of the sport. That is a scar upon his right arm which runs almost from his wrist to the elbow. This scar is the result of a match with the former world's champion, Stanislaus Zybysco. Pendleton's arm was broken in this bout and he continued with the broken member dangling helplessly at his side, and wrestled his opponent to a draw. That is the nearest he ever came to defeat, for he has never had his shoulders pinned to the mat. In “The Laughing Lady.” be portrays the character responsible for the scandal which nearly wreck* several lives. This picture Is now at the Indiana. tt st tt Other theaters today offer: “The New Moon" at English's. “Lillies of the Field” at the Circle, “The Love Parade" at the Ohio, “Christina” at the Lyric. “Hot For Paris” at the Apollo, burlesque at the Mutual, movies at the Colonial, movies at the Granada, and “Models of 1930” at the Rialto.

SEWER SYSTEM STUDY IS BEGUN BY CITY BOARD Present Arrangements Are Inadequate to Care for Future Needs. Study of the city-wide sewage disposal system with the view of abating several public nuisances which have earned protests from citizens in various localities for years, has been started by City Engineer A. H. Moore, ex-officiol member of the city sanitary commission. The present city sewage system was designed and laid out by Rudolph Herring. New York civil engineer, during the administration of Thomas L. Sullivan, father of Mayor eginald H. Sullivan, in 1893. Growth of the city’s population has been more rapid than Herring anticipated. Consequently the sewage system increasingly is becoming inadequate to serve the entire populace. The city's population was 105,000 in 1890 and Herring esti-

mated the census would mount to 243.000 in 1920. But Indianapolis grew bv leaps and bounds and the 1920 population wa., 320,000, overloading many of the sewers. The estimate was about 30 per cent low. Moore said. The downtown sewage needs should be under observation and study for the next ten years with the view of constructing a proper method of relief at that time, if the city's growth continues at a normal rate, he asserted. Parallel relief sewers or a sanitary sewer around the city will be necessary in a few years, Moore added. Surveys of the extent, use and flow of present downtown sewers are being made by the engineering department. The auxiliary sewers cast millions of dollars when it becomes necessary to make the additions. Moore said The sanitary board, composed of B. J. T. Jeup. president, Otto C. Poss and Moore, has been working for some time on a method of relieving several neighborhood nuisances and eor.templates a Warfleigh sanitary sewer. Pogue's Run sewer and Irvington relief sewer in the near future. Jeup promised early action on the Broad Ripple interceptor. Means of eliminating stream pollution at about 100 points where sewers intercept by proper supervision and maintenance, is being

considered by the sanitary board. Much of the difficulty comes from backing-up of water in the sewer, making necessary weekly visitation by an experienced engineer to keep the sewers in condition, it was said. The board has been working toward eliminating industrial pollution of streams for seme time, the work being directed by 9 C. Calvert, sanitation plant chemist. There is pollution at Pleasant Run from the Prospect street plant of the Citizens Gas Company, but municipal ownership of the utility, at termination of the present court

An effort is being made stop the practice of industries emptying water which does not require treatment. into the sanitary sewers, thus overloading the sewage • disposal plant, Moore said. City engineers are working on plans to eliminate the infiltration of approximately three million gallons a day in the interceptor along Westfield boulevard, which would increase greatly the efficiency of the sewer. The works board and sanitary commission are co-operating in the matter of sewer improvements. The
