Gem-Studded Relics in Tomb in Egypt Amaze Explorers

LONDON', Dec. 23. The Cairo correspondent of The London Times in a dispatch to his paper describes how Lord Carrarvon and Howard Carter unearthed below the tomb of Rameses VI. near Luxor, two rooms containing the funeral .paraphernalia of King Tukankamen, who reigned about 1350 D. C, the discovery of which was announced yesterday. He says: "A sealed outer door was carefully opened, then a way was cleared down some 16 steps and along a passage of about 25 feet. A door to the chambers was found to bo sealed as the outer door had been and, as on the outer door, there were traces of reclosing. "With difficulty an entrance was effected and when at last the excavators managed to squeeze their way in an

extraordinary sight met their eyes.

one that they could scarcely credit.

"First they saw three magnificent

statues, all gilt, with exquisite carving and the heads of a typhoon, panther and lion. On these rested beds beautifully carved, gilt and inlaid with

ivory and semi-precious stones and also innumerable boxes of exquisite

workmanship. Contents of Some of the Boxes.

One 'of these boxes was inlaid with ebony and ivory with gilt inscriptions.

Another contained emblems of the un

derworld. On a third, which contained royal robes handsomely embroidered

With precious stones and golden ean

dais, were beautifully painted hunting scenes. - There was a stool of ebony inlaid with ivory, with most delicately carved ducks' feet. Also a child's stood of fine workmanship. .; - "Beneath one of the couches was the state throne of King Tutankhamen, probably one of the most beautiful objects of art ever discovered. There was also a heavily gilt chair, with portraits of the King and Queen, the whole encrusted with turquoise, cornelian lapis and other semi-precious stones. Statues Found. " "Two life-sized statues of the King with gold work, holding a golden stick and mace, faced each other. They had handsome features and feet and were delicately carved with eyes of glass and a head dress richly studded with gems. There were also four chariots, the sides of which were encrusted with semi-precious stone3 and rich gold decoration. These were dismantled with a charioteer's apron of leopard's skin hanging over the seat. "Other notworthy objects were royal sticks, one of ebony with the head of an Asiatic as a handle in gold. Another was of handsomest filigree work. There was also a stool for a throne with Asiatics carved on it, denoting that the King had placed his foot on the necks of Asiatic prisoners taken in war ; "There were some quaint bronze gilt musical instruments and a robing dummy for royal wigs and robes. There were also some exquisite alabaster vases with a very intricate and unknown design, ai of one piece, and some handsome blue Egyptian faience, and enormous quantities of provisions for the dead, comprising trussed duck and haunches of venison, and all packed in boxes according to the custom of the time. Wreaths and Rolls of Paper. "There were some remarkable wreaths still looking like evergreen, and one of the boxes contained rolls of paper which are expected to render a ma.s of information. "A further chamber revealed an indescribable state of confusion. Here furniture, gold beds, exquisite boxes and alabaster vases similar to those found in the first chamber were piled high one on top of the other, so closely

ery is that there is still a third sealed chamber which significantly the two figures of the King discovered are guarding and which may possibly turn out to be the actual tomb of King Tfj tankhamen with numbers, of heretics buried with him." ' :

packed that it has been impossible to get inside yet.

"Numbers of .these treasures were in

a fairly good stateof preservation, but

others are in a somewhat precarious condition. The greatest care i3 being taken in handling them, however, and

there is every hope that under Mr. Car

ter's capable direction most of them will be preserved.

"From the manner in which it3 con

tents were disposed it is evidently that

this cache has not remained untouched since it was buried. There seems

no doubt that the wonderful collection

of objects formed part of the funeral

paraphernalia of King Tutankhamon, whose cartouche is seen everywhere in both its forms, and that they were moved from the tombs where they were originally placed, and in order to preserve them from thieves were transferred for safety to these chambers. Cause For Sensation. "The sealing and blocking of the doors and passages which have so far been opened, suggest that metal robbers had attacked these chambers and that inspectors of Rameses IX, had reason to enter to reclose them. From the famous Abbott and other papers it

is known that these royal tombs suffered at the hands of robbers, but' whatever the chambers may have contamed originally their contents today are sufficient cause for a sensation in

the Egyptological world. Obscure Points of History Made Clear. The discovery will clear up many obscure point3 in regard to the eighteenth dynasty, among others that not only was Smenkhara Co-Regent with Akhenaten, but it appears that he must have died or ceded the throne simultaneously with him. Sepulchral

objects of Smenkhara found here bear protocols of both monarchs. "Tutankhamen's reign, which was Circa 1358 B. C, marks- the transition from the Aten faith back to the worship of Amen. The scenes and inscriptions upon his funeral furniture depict the King under both religions, first under the Aten faith when he was named Tutankhaten, or living image of Aten or the sun's disc, and secondly under Amen worship, where he calls himself Tutank hamen, or the living image of Amen. "What adds interest to this discov-

RUSSIAN VISITS HIS BROTHER IN DETROIT AFTER HARD JOURNEY

TOLEDO, Ohio Following a journey 'of more than three years, from his former home . in Komenietz, province of Podolsk, Russia, in which he spent

many millions of rubles, suffered indescriable hardships, and witnessed scenes which he said have undermined his health, Joseph Sruliowitch, 22 years of age, has arrived at the home of a; brother, here. " .

Unable to speak English, Sruliowitch

related his story through his brother, a tailor who assumed the name of E. L. Sells, when he became a citizen of the United States two years ago. When the fighting between the Bol

shevist ana UKrainian forces was

most severe, the latter occupied Komenietz. Soldiers entered young Srulio-

witch's home, with the intention, he asserted, of at least killing the father, if not the entire family. The mother collapsed, and died two hours later,

and in some fashion, the young Russian's father escaped. At the age of seventeen, Joseph was pressed into military service of Xhe

Bolshevik government. He took part in a number of battles against the Poles, and latei escaped and returned

to his . home town, only to find it in

the hands of the Ukrainians. ' He was

forced to j6in their ranks, and for a long time, compelled to fight his own people. ' When the Ukrainians retired before a strong counter attack, young Sruliowitch threw away his Ukrainian uniform, and again joined the ranks of the Russian forces. - ' . t
