NEW YORIK, February 9.— < Herald today 1t was announced in railroad circles | today that the Pennsylvania system is { planning to purchase or secure by long lease all the properties of the Norfolk Southern railroad. The Pennsylvania announces officially that it contemplates big developments at this port. Included in its development program is the establishment of deep water ter- minals at Little Creek. near Cape Henrs. which will shorten by two hours the barging of fregiht and the tranafer of passengers from trains at Cape Charles. 1t requires three hours for a steamer to take passengers from Norfolk to Cape Charles 1o board trains. When the Lit tlo Creek terminals are completed the transfer will be made in fifty-five min- utes. In its plan to secure control of the Norfolk Southern the Pennsylvania pur- poses to dig_a canal for freight traffic through the headwaters of Little Creek, |a distance of about one mile, and to ild a huge freight station at Broad Creck. The Norfolk Southern now extends from_Norfolk southward through cast- ern North Carolina, penetrating what for years has been considered one | the ‘most promising agricultural sec- | tions on the Atlantic seaboard.

B, CARROLL WINS Opening Pharaol’s Inner Tomb) yoaee i\ (HILDREN erly—-qund | BY ARTHUR WEIGALL. { By Cable to The Sta: LUXOR. Egypt, February 9.—It is idle to attempt further to hide the fact that all is not well at the tomb lof Pharaoh Tutankhamen, for there have been references in the press to trouble, and people are beginning to guess, if only by the delay, that some- i thing has gone wrong. Let me hasten to say that there is nothing wrong with the tomb itself, and in a few the inner chamber will be opened and the thrill of dis- covery will make us forget our anx- ieties, but for the moment people’s nerves are decidedly on edge, and one | might imagine that that malevolence !which is sometimes supposed to lin- ger around the bones of the ancient | dead nad veen at work Clash ©Over Authority.

Most of these articles, particu the fabrics, were in 4 most perish able condition and their examination and treatment have necessitated long and tedlous work. This, however, has now been concluded and the objects are all packed and made ready transportation to Cairo, where they will updergo further investigation. - W or_k has now been started on an- ofljl-r chest, namel the wooden box | painted red. ‘On the lid was found one of the king's faience collarettes and a number of faience rings, strung on 2 roll of linen.

I These vases and cups are a portion of the original contents of the box, as is indicated by the hieratic docket {upon the lid, but, like the robe, mimed lin with these original contents are fother objects thrown in by the {nccropolis oMcials who visited the chamber after the robberies and put {into the nearest box, irrespective of {its juscription, the articles which the | robbers had cast on the floor in their i search for more valuable and more portuble metal objects. These extraneous objects are for the most part in the nature of jewelry,| and among them, as far as the pres- ent investigation has gone, the finest appears to be a covering In gold und inluld stone and glass which looks 4s though it had been a sort of coat of mail. Owing to the weakness of its threads this covering had broken up and fallen into many pleces, sO that its exact design and the purpose for which it was Intended cannot be stated with certainly at present. It is now being picked out plecemeal, a tedious process which requires much time, patience and skill, and it is ‘hoped that it will be 'possible to !string it on to new threads and to re- construct it. Until that procedure has been completed it will be impos- sible for any one, no matter how ex- (ert, to say what this covering really is. or what the nature is of the other ‘bjects remaining in the box. Identification Is Problem. This question of identifying the ar- ticles, as also of establishing his- torical or personal data from the va- | riou objects found in the ante-; chamber, ‘is one of the most difficult problems confronting Mr. Carter and his assistants. As has been pointed out several times already, the history of the perlod to which these chambers belong is most obscure. Very litle is known about it, consequently, while there {s every possibility that consid- erable light will be thrown on it by this discovery, the greatest care has naturally to be taken in making pub- lic any deductions. The position of the objectsand their relation one to another play a great art in identification, etc., and the! imanner in which the contents of| chests and boxes have been disturbed | and mixed up renders this work mos. ! ! ditficult Often a deduction mudu‘ from one collection of objects has to!l be corr i in the light of informa- tion derived from a closer examina- tion of subsequent objects. Therefore, while the experts periodically express opinions regarding histori and other data obtained from these cham- bers, these opinions must for the time be regarded to a very great extent as conjectures, and only when an exami- nation of all the objects has been smpleted and the information derived i therefrom collated will it be possible for any one to arrive at any author- itative conclusion. Some of the most interesting things | now under examination are fabrics. | tapestry fabrics; that is, linen into} | which patterns have been woven, of | !swhich various epecimens have been | found in the boxes 8o far opene ! Much of them is in a perished cond | tion, but is capuble of reconstruction. ! The only specimens of such Work | previously found lave been a collec | tion of a few small pieces now in the Cairo museum. which were foun | by Mr. Carter in the tomb of Tehut es T in 1902-3. These pieces are a | thousand years earlier than any other ! piece known, and are finer by thirty- six strands to the warp than any other ever made. Present Strands Not Counted. Up to the present moment the strands of specimens found in Tut- ankhamen's antechamber have not heen counted, but they are certainly of the finest texture, and since th: period of Tutankhamen is reputed to{ have been the zenith of the middle | empire industry there is every reason to expect that they will be at least| of equal fineness to those found in! the tomb of Tehutimes IV. i Today again there was no work at the tomb and the approach thereto for the first time since the removal of (he contents began was almost en- tirely deserted by visitors. It is prob- able that nothing will be done tomor- row, but it is pected that the unrk; n the tomb will be resumed on Sat-| urday. by which time Lord Carnarvon ! Will have returned from Cairo. | T have spoken before of the extra- | ordinary jumble of articles in the so- | Oilled annex to the outer chamber of | the tomb. The only view of it at present is through a small hole near the floor made by ancient robbers I Through this hole only a privileged few &0 far have been permitted to peer }\ith an electric light bulb in their |haund. In these circumstances an approximately complete catalogue of .the objects in the annex cannot be glven, but the following are some of | the most conspicuous articles i There are several statues, appar-j ently carved in stone, some of which {eem 1o be figures of Hapi. adapted Hapi_was the god of the Nile and one of the guardian dieties of the dead. There is more than one gaming board like a chess- | board, with black and white squares {apparently inlaid in ivory. There are ibhoxes all more or less elaborately | puinted or decorated, but closed, and {1t is impossible to conjecture the ! nature of their contents. There are {more alabaster vases, which vie in !beauty with those already found in; he outer chamber. There is aiso a great quantity of articles of pottery. or faience. including vessels of ;I“ variety of shapes, to make vases. presumably for | | table purposes and sacerdotal uses. Other Objects Seen Some gilded poles appear to be part | of the canopy, sections of which, as already told, were found in the outer chamber, and which is believed to have been taken by the king on his travels to be set up as a shelter when | he stopped to rest or to give audi- ences. There are a number or woven baskets, seemingly of finest kind, and funerary boats of various sises such as were habitually linked with the dead to assist them in crossing the Water surrounding the Elysian Field. | These are mixed up with divers art- icles of household furniture from the palace, such as carved and gilded | bedsteads, chairs and beadwork has- ! socks. ! **The whole place is in extreme con- | fusion. the entire floor being covered | with objects, often piled one on top of | another. Considering the extrem care needed in handling these things, the task of disentangling them and lof getting them out offers a thorny problem.
