BelgianEgyptologist Praises Earl; For Guarding Finds at Luxor|; Dr. Capart Advisés Public to Let the; Archeologists Work in Their Ouwn (Tandon T arranger es-New Tork Times copsrig 1C with the Earl of CATnarvon.) T.ONDON. March 1i-Jean Capar the eminent Lgyptologist and secr tary of the Musee Royal du Cinquan- cnaire de Bruxelles, sends to the J.ondon Times the following observa- tions on the camapign which has Deen directed against Lord Carnarvon uring the past few weeks for de- ciding to circulate his discoveries at the tomb of Tutankhamen to the press of the world through the agency of the London Times. BY DR. JEAN CAPART. Secretary of the Royal Cinquantenaire Museum of Brussels. LUXOR, March 14 —Tutankhamen was of the opinion that the tongue was both the best and worst thing n the world. Had he lived in our would he have said of reflection while read- the other day ar- ainst Lord Carnar- on. According to certain people, the «question which is now being raised s most important, it concerns the sacred rights of the press, fts im- prescriptable duties toward the pub- 1 No obstaci hatever must be allowed to inte: between exam- ination of the Pharaonic treasures and the immediate distribution of the news to all papers. If Lord Car- narvon does not give way, if he does | not cancel the agreement with the tondon Times, the Egyptian govern- ment must intervene and the conces- sion must be declared forfeit! Egyptians Have Comtrol. One would almost think one were dreaming when one reads such things. Let us elucidate the discus- sion by reducing it to its essential elements. There are in Egypt—an- tiquities laws and an antiquities sery nment grants the right to vate the ancl only under strict condlitions, a would like to see the sam applied to European countries where archeological work s often abandoned to plunders.

By|of the kings at Thebbs and at all| itimes lus works are subject to in- fspection by a represen(ative of the antiquitics service. As long as his excavations continue he has an evi- | dent right to prohibit access to his work to every one except those agents. At this very moment in cer- tain parts of the Karnak Temple. with which Lord Carnarvon has nothing to do, there are placards forbidding the public Lo approach the tents where clearances and restoration work are in progress. At the end of each ex- cavation season the holder of a con- cession js under an obligation to submit to the antiquities service a summary report of the work achiev- ed. the objects discovered are then submitted without exception to the antiquities service. 1 do net belleve that the concession can entail any other obligation. Has Carnarven Falled? Now, has Lord Carpaven failed in any of his duties during his work 8t the tomb of Tutankhamen? On the coutrary, since the very outset he has done much more than was incumbeut on him, for in view of the supreme interest residing im his diseovery he has given information to the public day by day through the intermediary of the greatest newspaper in the world. Tt {5 here it appears that the matter becomes thorny. It constitutes a violation of the rights of the pyblic! Do you not agree that ome ought to start a campalgn against the annoy- ing invention of patents and to for- bid writers to reserve for one editor, to the exclusion of all others, the right to publish their works?

Even now his is ene of the best by reasom of the beauty of its paintings. The tomb, closed by its old door of carved and painted wood, contatned numerous coffina, mum- mies, funerary sledges, furniture and atatuettes. Tomb Was Marvelous 1t was altogether marvelous and of unique interest. AlL these pieces are unfortunately no longer to be found in the Cairo Musewm. Seme have found thelr way to the Berlin Mu- eum and to America. A Spaniard med Tona gave a rapid and incor- rect description in a pamphlet pub- lshed at Madrid. of which the annals of the untiquities service gave trans. lated extracts a few vears ago. Be- yond that there is on record nething regarding this marvelous discovery, Scarcely twenty years ago Prof Schiaparelll found in the same part of the Theban necropolis the tomb of the architect Cha and of hiz wife Marit. In the Turbin Museum can be seen wonderful objects taken out of this sepulcher which has produced so many unique objects, as, for example, embroidered ornaments’ and cande- labra. - There was some mugnificent furniture as well as sofe statues of refined art, one of stucco floral gariand atill well pre- servi et for & faw parsgraphs tn the Daily Press and one or two pummaries Dothing has yet been pu abeut this discovery and It is impossible to obtain even for sc tific studies photographbs of these ! jportant Ten years ago German men of solence ~ who were clearing Tel-el- Amarna de a unique discovery of the house of the sculptors of Thothmes, in the studio of which atill remained studies, sketches and fin- ished works.
