TWO OBJECTS IN TOMB MYSTIFY EXCAVATORS AS TO SIGNIFICANCE (Continued from Tenth Page.) gloom cast around by Tutankhmen's death.” The tomb will be closed at the first opportunity, but the stream of visit- ors is so turbulent and so unbending that it is difficult to prophesy when the opportunity will arise. A distin- guished coterie braved a sandstorm to g0 to the tomb today. They were taken in to sec the gold and blue catafalque and later permitted to_ in- spect the treasures being treated in the workshop in the tomb of Setl II They have been talking about it ever since. Splendid Vision, There is no doubt it s a splendid vision, but there is now serious curi- osity as to the real historical facts which the discovery will reveal. That desire for knowledge cannot be satis- fied now or in the near future, pri- marily because work cannot be done while these constant interruptions continue. In any case, it will be years before the world knows what the ma- | terial in the tomb has to tell, but it is certain that the longer this proces- sion of sightseers goes on the longer must be the wait for an answer to the questions whether Tutankhamen came voluatarily to Thebes from Tell-el-An and whether he be- came reconverted to Amen faith through policy or enthusiasm. “There is a proposal afoot to take a selection of the finest objects already treated and to put them on show in the Calro Museum. That would be one ay of eliminating local Inter- rustions; but for the present it seems that Lord Carnarvon will finish the season in the blaze of glory with which it commenced when the nev of the discovery was first announced. It is pos le that the closure of the tomb next week may be temporary in- stead of until next fall. The discov- erers may perhaps close the tomb just long enough for public Interest to subside and then resume their inves. tigations unhampered by besieging crowds of visitors, STUDIES SEALS ON DOOR. Prof. Breasted Marvels at Discov- eries in Tomb of Tutankhamen. BY JAMES HENRY BREASTED. Profestor of ERYptology and Oriental Hixtory of the University of Chicago, By Cable to The Star. LUXOR. Egypt, February 23.—At the request of the discoverer T spent several days in a careful examination of the complicated and almost en- tirely unstudied evidence contained in the seals which the surviving offi- cers of King Tutankhamen had im- pressed upon the soft mortar cover- ing the masonry closure of his tomb doorways when he was left in hie last sleep more than 3,000 vears ago, I had stood in the solemn silence of his tomb before the mysterious sealed doorway, guarded by the king’s two sentinel statues looking &erenly down upon me on either hand, and had studied over 150 seal impressions with which the doorway was thickly covered from top to bottom. They furnished convincing evidence that the king’s body still lay within NORWORTH IN RADIO SKIT. Popular Singer on Hecht Company Program Tonight. Jack Norworth, star in “My Lady Friends,” a comedy which will be presented next week at the Garrick, will sing his most recent song hit, “I Am Spreading a Little Sunshine,” to- gether with some of his famous char- acter songs, over the radlophone this evening at station WEAS of the Hecht Company Music Store.

Pennsylvania Avenue Saks @qm an The New Karltons Lives up to its reputation as America’s Superior Hat at S .

On December 20 I had left the tomb with this krowledge and had voyaged slowly back té Cairo dreaming of the marvelous possibilities of &uch an almost untouched royal burlal, an absolutely unprecedented treasury of ancient art, religion and history. On February 15 I stood before the sealed doorway again. The magnifi- cent furniture which had filled the antechamber had been removed and only the statues of the king remain- ed on guard. Thus cleared the door- way was more accessible than before. and it confirmed the first conclusion T had drawn. Nevertheless, it was a thrilling experience the next after- noon to see Howard Carter's hammer and chisel skillfully breaking away the first hard plaster bearing seals and then dislodging the masonry fili- ing behind, thus producing in a quar- ter of an hour a small opening Which revealed one corner of the imposing blue and gold catafalque containing the body of Tutankhamen. We were the first men of the modern world to look into the burlel hall of an anclent king’s tomb, still remaining essential- 1y as it had looked when priests and royal officers closed and sealed It 3,250 years ago. Unheed Silent Protests. Through all the sweep of centuries no human eye had looked into this royal sepulcher, to step between the king’s two silent statues, unheeding their mute protests, to pass along the front of the catalfalgue to look through its open doors, to see within two closed inner doors, upon which the royal seal impressed there by a mortuary priest was still unbroken and to realize that the august dead still slept within—all these were ex- periences which make one keenly; aware of the feebleness of language. Beyond the sepulchural hall lay an- other chamber, undoubtedly the last in the tomb. 'Even the marvels of the antechamber, to which a few weeks of familiarity had accustomed us, had not prepared us for the amaz- ing revelation of this innermost cham- ber. Among all its myriad treasures I oarry with me an imperishable vislon of four Jovely goddesses in shining gold standing ‘in winsome grace with outspread arms and heads charmingly poised on one side as they | guard the sumptuous, gold-covered shrine containing the king's four mor- tuary vases, commonly called canoplc jars. These exquisite girlish figures are fundamentally a new revelation of grace and beauty in anclent art. They are quite equal to anything ever produced in Greek sculpture and rival the greatest works of art of any age. Unique Revolution Noted. The great value and significance of this most marvelous archeological dis- covery of modern times lies in the fact that in this tomb we have pre- sorved a group of survivals from the unique revolution in art and religion { which had preceded Tutankhamen. This revolution was due to the unique genius of Tutankhamen's father-in- law, Ikhnaton. He had introduced the earliest known monotheism and infused into art a freedom, power and beauty which completely trans- ormed it. fo e fevolution marked the highest level of anclent cultyre before the Greeks. The fanatical reaction which followed left very little of the new thought and art to reveal to us its character. Ikhnaton's beautiful cap- ital at Tel-El-Amarna was 8wept away and with it perished the great works of art which his tremendous revolution had brought forth. Some of them, however, were brought back ; to Thebes, the old capital, by Tut- ankhamen, and of theso not a few were plously placed.in his tomb by his surviving relatives. Tutankhamen’s tomb, therefore, be- came a treasury and magazine In which have been preserved the only surviving monuments and works of art of the first days of Intellectual emancipation in the human career and the only one antedating the Greeks. - ‘Nature of Evidence Withheld. Having been asked by the discov- erer to undertake-a full study of all the documents and evidence made available by tnis extraorajnary dis- covery for the purpose of furnishing for the final official publication a com- pletely documented historical inter- pretation of the tomb, I am not in a positien to disclose the interesting evidence on which the above state- ment of the value of the discovery rests, but the evidence will be made available to science in due time. Meantime we may rest content with the assurance that at last the great- est civilization antedating the Greeks i { this morning at the home of Mrs. Sarah D. C, FRIDAY, FEB brought forth by man are adequately revealed to us in works of supreme beauty and power. They form the Breatest revelation of this kind ever recovered in the entire Listory of archeological discovery in any land. For this revelation the Earl of Car- narvon and Howard Carter have laid us under a debt of gratitude and ap- preciation which we shall never be able to repay. (Copyright, 1923.) COLORED SOLDIER SHOT.
