who died at an age of probably not
mere than (sixteen.
This information eamo at the end
iof a strenuous day's work by the
archaeologists, during which jewels
and treasures were'revealed in pitch
quantities that even Howard Carter
i Slid the other experts grew surfeited
at ,ti>e sight of them,
j Tltic was the day of all days In the
valley of the Kings Secretly the inner
; coffin of Tutankhamen had been oar
i ried* on a covered stretcher to the
tomb of Scit, the second tomb in the
extreme corner of the Royal Necro
polis, and. today, with only two tour
ists venturing through the deathly
befit to Lie valley—there snapshotting
each other in apparent solitude, ig
norant of the drama being enacted
underground a few yards away—the
supreme moment of all archeological
research was reached.
' I nfold Splendors Revealed.
Tutankhamen, had been X-rayed,
hilt privately, so that some hint of
what’ was to come was known to a
privileged few.
Rut the dark splotches on the pho
tographic plates taken through the
burial clothes cculd give but the mer
est hint of the splendors, dwarfing
all that has gone before, and that so
excited the world three years ago.
which met human eyes for the first
time in d.L'T.'t years, when the crown
jewels of ancient Egypt were revealed
today to an awed little group.
“No living mail ever dreamed of
such a tin ( | as this,” declared one of
tile, spectators at the close of the day's
work. And there is more to come.
Howard Carter and his assistants
began their work with the mummy's
feet. I'he head is still wrapped in
hundreds of feet of fine linen. The
most fascinating question of all,
whether upon lie brow rests the orown
of upper and lower Egypt, is there
fore still unsolved.
Indications cf Crown.
A protuberance on the brow indi
cates a dinmed if not a crowa, that
considering the splendor of the other
jewelfl and royal regalia already dis
covered, must indeed be marvelous.
It had been hoped that this secret
unwrapping, which Egyptian officials
who enforced their wjll upon Carter
and his assistants sought by every
means possible to conceal from the
world, could be completed last night.
So careful were the measures taken,
that this morning I was still the only
newspaper correspondent present in
the valley. Later one befezzed Egyp
tian journalist turned up.
I was met with scowls and black
looks from the native guards on duty,
who sprang out of the tomb of Seti
when I approached. Two soldiers
carrying rifleß joined, the guards, a
proceeding which led to apologies lat
er front the excavators.
Yet the excavators, .working under
Egyptian direction, were afraid to dis
obey the childish edicts of secrecy
which their masters seek to
eitfrree The penalty of disobedience
might be the,loss cf part of the
treasures which the Egyptians have
promised to the excavators should
their procedure during the remainder
bf their work meet with Egyptian
approval.
' Put Ban on Publicity.
Monsieur Lacan, the French direc
tor of antiquities, told me tonight:

any facts or photographs relating to

nation.
■Washington, Nov. 13—The North
jCaro’ina senators today received a let
ter from Secretary Jardine with ref
erence to the Mount Airy road mat
ter.
"This was formal notification of the
inability of the road officials to give
the Mount Airy road from Wytheville,
Va.. a place oh the federal road map
at this time.”
Copies of the letter follow:
“Honorable F. M. Simmons,
“Dear Senator:
"I have received your letter of No
vember 10th, together with Senator
Overman’s telegram of the Bth to you.
Since talking with you yesterday the
matter has again been up for consid
eration.
“Senator Overman telegraphed me
regarding this same matter on No
vember 7th, and after a conference
bad been had at the bureau of public
roads with Mr. Frank Page, chairman
of the North Carolina commission,
who was then passing through Wash
ington, I was able to make full re
ply to Senator Overman with knowl
edge of Mr. Overman’s recommenda
tion in the matter.
"As I understand the telegram
from Senator Overman, it probably
originated by a delegation headed by
Mr. Carter from Mount Airy, N. C.,
to secure a second route southward
from Wytheville, Va., among the
routes selected for interstate mark
ing by a board which has been func
tioning in co-operation with this de-|
partment since last winter. Thisi
delegation called at my office several
days ago. The State highway depart
ment approved a route suggested by
its representative from Wytheville,
through Sparta to Statesville, and
thence southward, and the whole mat
ter has been twice considered official
ly by the State highway commission
of North Carolina and favorably act
ed upon. In view of Mr. Rage’s final
conference at the bureau of public
roads, at which time the whole matter
was reviewed, I do not see how 1 can
delay action on the report of the
joint boanl. To do so would make
it impossible fbr me to meet my obli
gations to the board, and, further
more, it would set a serious prece
dent and make progress on the report
difficult. I regret that circumstances
make it impossible for me to do other
wise.
“I am taking the liberty of enclos
ing herewith a copy of the telegram
I Which has been sent to Senator Ov
; tip' WOl lit. The newspapers have be
haved go badly that we decided n'.t
f to permit (hem to print anythin* ex
. oepting those items which the lay
t public is fit to understand, and these
terns will be Risen out in official
! communiques from Cairo. We shall
’ nermit Mr. Cart or to write serious
i artie'es for serious students in serious
i archeological or scientific journals.
1 and lie may write books. But be
I must not sell any photographs."
This altitude explains my reception
‘ at the tomb I was to’.d that no facts
■ would be given cut here and that I
had no business to come. Then T was
advised that I had better go back to
Cairo and ask the press bureau for
the communique to be issued tomor
row or Saturday or Sunday.
Howard Carter and bis photogra
pher, Harry Burton, of the Metropol
itan Museum, are in no way respon
sible for these conditions, although, of
course, they tire unable, if they wish
to continue their marvelous work, to
make or endorse any complaints re
garding their treatment.
The above personal digression ex
plains the impossibility of describing
precisely the royal regalia and state
robes of the dead I’baroah at pres
ent.
Vast Wealth in Gems.
The wealth of bracelets, jewel-cov
ered clothes and the contents of royal
jewel chests sewed into the mummy's
clothing left the excavators and spec
tators at last blase, as these objects
were taken out hour after hour in
handfuls! Any one of scores of
these articles would, in the past, have
been regarded as the gem of any na
tional collection.
Tutankhamen’s removal in his mag
nificent inner coffin, the most re
markable mummy case ever found,
was accomplished with such secrecy
that Cartel’s own workmen were
given to understand and believed that
Carter had discovered only a life
sised statue of “kingska," or the sce
end self, often placed in these tombs.
! The exact object of this secrecy is
impossible to ascertain. When the
inner coffin was opened yesterday, Mr.
Burton was busy all day photograph
ing various objects. Moreover, I
gather that the amnxingly rich finds
are not confined to the inner coffin,
but many were discovered inside the
Sarcophagus since the work began on
October 17th, which were not men
tioned in the 600 words which have
been given out by the Cairo Press bu
reau since Chat time, purporting to
record the main facts of the principal
work done since the discovery was
first made.
Tutankhamen’s embalming, it was
found yesterday afternoon, had not
done so as to permit the mummy
being unwrapped in the usual fashion.
Embalming fluid had so soaked
through the bandages that it caused
them to adhere to the body, and they
have to be out away in chunks, an
operation of supreme delieaey if in
jury to the flesh is to be avoided.
Royal Body Is Denuded.
All previous arguments to the ef
fect that the body would not be de
nuded rs its last coverings and that
the scientific aims would be attained
so>ely by X-ray examination, went
by the board when it w-as discovered
that many jewels were sewn into the i
mummy clothes.
Over the hotly of the King rested j
a jewelled enameled gold framework. -
I hear, but cannot confirm, that some j
metal work in the inner casket was I
badly rusted, indicating Rome damage 1
by the embalming fluid or other li
qfiid.

The following is a copy cf the tele
gram to Senator Overman from Sec
i retary Jardine:

“Referring to your telegram No

, joint board be undertaken have also
requested that I refer report to them
at their annual meeting November
10th, nevt, at Detroit, and as this
work has been carried out predomi
nant by the states I feel it very in
advisable to withhold report from
forth-coming meeting on the basis of a
somewhat questionable detail in one
state. In any event I understand all
action by board has required concur
rence of states affected and action
by North Carolina highway depart
ment regarding Mount Airy route will
not alone be sufficient to secure con- ■
sideration. Harmonious action of
Virginia highway department also 1
necessary. I understand Virginia 1
has already once refused request for ]
additional mileage. North Carolina
has twice confirmed action of joint \
