PREPARE T RECPEN TON OF PHARAH Archeologists Engage Labor to Remove Earth Seal Placed There Last Year. By the Associuted Fress. LUXOR, Egypt, October 19.—Prep- arations for lifting the 2,000 tons of earth, stone and wooden joists that now rest over the tomb of Tutankha- men are proceeding apace. Howard Carter and his American assoclates, Messrs. Candler and Burton, have re- established themselves in their lonely concrete domiciles at the entrance to the valley of kings, and have made a preliminary survey of the work that must be done before the inner tomb belleved to contain the mummy of the pharach can be opened. The archeologists established that at least a fortnight will be required to clear away the vast hcap of rubble that now shields the king from the outside world. It is possible that a narrow gauge railway loaned by the American archeological mission will be used to hasten the work. Nearly 100 of the native excavators Wwho helped Mr. Carter uncover the tomb last summer have been re-en- gaged at stipends which make Amer- jgan union wages look like fortunes. Each digger i3 to receive 12 cents a a alight bonus at the end son if the pharaok’s body is iin the sarcophagus. Most of the laborers are boys of from ten to eighteen, but some of them are Erown men who support two or three wives on this slender remuneration. It is probable that Pharmoh Tut: ankhamen wlill be undisturbed for many weeks, as the dismantling of his multiple tabernacle of gold will require the most painstaking labor and skill. The delicate parts of the outer and inner shells will have to be treated chemically and the wut- most care taken to guard them against breakage. In addition to this, the entire wall shielding the Bepulchre from the other chambers probably will have to be demolished B0 as to parmit the archeologists suffi- slent room in which to work: L Cannot Use X-Ray, ‘" M. Carter Is sanguine that the body of the king will be revealed Just as It was burled. The fact that the Inner cofMin is of stone precludes the use of the X-ray in determining ‘Wwhether It contains’ the mummy. It is possible that when the labors of the season are over the Egyptian overnment will arrange to place a large glass slab over the sarcophagus 8o that visitors from all parts of the World can sea what whi probably prove to be the most perfect example of royal mummy ever dlscovered. It this {3 done, the tomb will be {llum- inated by ‘electric lights and the hitherto neglected and remote Valley of Kings will have become one of the world's show places. WASHINGTON MONUMENT ELEVATOR OUT OF USE The elevator of the Washington Monument has been placed out of operation for probably a week pend- ing the making of repairs. herrill, officer in charge ings and grounds, in mak- ing this announcement, said that the re- pair work in question would be in con- nectfon with the elevator cable. He said also the Monument would not be closed to the public and those visitors de- siring to may go to the top by climb- ing the stairs.

NEW YORK, October 19.—Evangeline Booth, commander of the Salvation Army’ in the United States, Who was operated on Sunday night at her home near White Plains for abscesses in the nasal passages, was reported tonight by her physiclan to be in & serlous but not necessarily alarming_ condition. All her engagements have been can- celed for the present. Drs. Duncan McPherson and Herbert L. Wheeler fs- sued the following bulletin: “The pain suffered by Commander Miss Booth has caused loss of sleep, which, coupled with unavoldable lack of inourishment, has very greatly reduced her strength. It would therefore be dangerous even to allow her to be pres- ent at any public meeting, were she otherwise able to attend. Exposure to | arafts in her present state of low re. sistance might produce prneumonia or invite other serious complications. Ab- ‘Aolute rest and quiet for the time being are imperative.” THE WEATHER October 20 LD Overcoat Time THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO: ow for of One and two Pants Suits D. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1923.
