BY THOMAS R. HENRY. An expedition of Carnegie Institution archeologists will leave early this Sprir | to follow up clues pointing to the e | istence of the ruins of six or elght | large cities in a hitherto unexplored | | stretch of the jungles of Northern | | Guatemala, it was announced today by | | Dr. Sylvanus Morley of the msmuuons | stafr. These ruins have been reported to | Dr. Morley by Indian chicle hunters who roam through the jungle. He has no doubt, he said, that several of the reports will prove well founded and | that it will be possible to add a new ||| chapter to the story of ome of the highest civilizations in antiquity. Already & foothold has been secured‘ in this direction, he said, by the dis- covery early last year of the ruins of the Old Empire City of Calakmul. Dr. Morley lectured on the Calakmul ex- plorations at_the institution building last night. This city he described as | a eort of Maya Pittsburgh, a very rich and busy center which stood close to| the top of the “second size” Maya | cities. It dates from approximately 356 A.D. or 616 A.D., according to the | school of Maya chronology by which the calculations are made. It rose rapidly to dominance and remained prosperous for close to 200 years. Then it declined, presumably from economic causes, since there is no evidence of a foreign invasion, and probably was rapidly depopulated. City of Boosters. Calakmul, as pictured by Dr. Morley. | must have been a city of “boosters. Its chief industry was religion—the | building of pyramids and monuments. | It was the custom of Maya cities to| commemorate each year by the build- ing of a monument. But where other | | citles were satisfied with one a year | the “boosters” of Calakmul would build four or five. They built enormous pyramids, one 150 feet high, apparently to get ahead of their neighbors. Dr. Morley has located 125 monuments and has been able to read the inscrip- tions of 45 of them. ‘The story of Calakmul, he believes, was similer to that of other American cities—both in Maya antiquity and in later times, Ploneers, pushed out from the older centers by population and food pressure, went into virgin terri- tory where the rich soil yielded boun- | tiful harvests. They stored their corn. | It constituted wealth, the only real wealth the Maya knew, since the race | bad no great industrial development. | With this stored wealth, which made possible the freeing of labor from the daily toil of getting enough to eat, it was possible to start the great public and ecclesiastical building projects. As wealth increased more labor was freed from these projects. The building of & monument or pyramid required an enormous amount of labor. Every stone had to be transported from a dis- stance on the head, or heads, of wor men. It was a task comparable to the building of the Egyptian pyramids. In | addition a large population had to be maintained to supply the needs of | these workmen, such as weaving their clothes. { ‘The present appearance of such a city as Calakmul, Dr. Morley said, might be compared to that of Wash- ington if all the business and dwelling houses were destroved and only the Government buildings and churches left standing. But actually it was not | a city in the modern sense, but a| densely populated, wide-spread area of small farms—some perhaps as much jas an acre in extent—with the farm population living in thatched huts, all traces of which long since have been | lost. It was comparable to the densely | | can city without the dominating bu: ness center. Every family must have | land. In about the center of such a| region of small farms stood the gmern-l ment and religious buildings Morley expects to encounter much me same pattern further in the unexplored v. | region. Rich Soil Was Exhausted. The time of profitable agricultural occupation of an area, and hence of the existence of one of these great centers, was limited. he points out.| Maya farming remained very primi-| tive to the end. Rich soil was ex-| hausted. It was only the abundance of the harvests of the earlier years, he believes, which enabled this people to obtain the reserve food supply with | which they could build up this great | aboriginal civilization. The civilizations | of the Old World were made possible in | much the same way, he says, and such |2 people as the North American Indians | or the Eskimo never could have been | expected to develop very far since all their energy was taken up in keeping | ahead of starvation. | The expedition into the jungle, he | said, will leave Chichen Itza, the Car- negia Institution headquarters in Yuca- tan, about March 1. It is expected | this expedition will go far towards || | slosing the gap between the oldest cities “of the Old Empire and the later Maya | estdblishments. Calakmul flourished |as a provincial center toward the end the Mava people transferred thelr ac- tivities to the northward and the New Empire. | “LONE WOLF” GETS YEAR FOR CARRYING WEAPON || John J. Neil, colored, 32, of the 1700 ck of Vermont avenue, who, accord- ng to police, is known in his neigh- | borhcod as the “Lone Wolf.” was sen- tenced to 365 days in jail after he had been declared guilty of carrying a deadly weapon by Police Court Judge Gus A. Schuldt yesterday Police said they stopped Nefl driving | | a stolen taxicab Tuesday in Southeast Washington. When they searched him | a dagger in a sheath attached to his | garter was found. The words “The lux;r‘ Wol” | handle. Additional charges of stealing the cab, which belonged to Saverio Gugliel- mini, 28, were referred to the grand \‘ Jury.

Is Driving” at 15 and 10 p.m. 130, 6:15 and 9 at 2, ‘The heavy burden of taxation mow borne by owners of real estate in the District must be reduced, Rufus S. Lusk, statistician, declared in an address last night before members of the Washing- ton Real Estate Board, meeting at the Willard Hotel. Citing figures to show the degree that | thastax burden on real estate has been increased here in the past three dec- ades, Mr. Lusk declared there must be an end to the continued rise. The per capita tax on real estate in but now has risen to about $41 per per- son, he said. All District taxes have been increased about 530 per cent in the past 30 years, he declared. Situation Can’t Go On. “This situation simply cannot go on,” he said. “There must be an end to this continued increase in the cost of our government, People will not indefi- nitely go on investing in a business from which the government takes so much of the return in the form of taxes.” Mr. Lusk made the statement in briefly reviewing results of a survey he made for the realty board for presen- tation to the Senate District subcom- mittee which is investigating rental con- ditions here. He explained that the statistical study of the financial condition of 244 build- ings, having a total assessed valuation of about $42,000,000, showéd that 66 per cent of the total rent receipts went for operating cost, including taxes and in- surance, but not mortgage interest; that 12,5 per cent went for taxes alone. “The District government is in part- nership with the owners of real estate the District, in partnership with em with a vengeance,” he declared You will realize this when you see that for every dollar of profit taken by | the owner of the apartment buildings, on an average, the District government took in the form of taxes $1.70. Based on Typical Case. These figures were based on compu- tations on a typical case drawn from the statistical study, using the average return of 4.6 per cent on the assessed value found by the survey, the hypo- thetical building being mortgaged to 60 per cent of its value at 6 per cent interest. ‘The meeting also was addressed by W. C. Miller, president-elect of the National Association of Real Estate Boards; John Weaver, a_past national president; H. Clifford Bangs, president of the Washington board; J. F. M. Bowie, past president of the local board, and John T. Meany, who discussed plans for the | Winter convention of the national body, to be held here late this month. Roger J. Whiteford, counsel for the | local board, reviewed evidence present- | ed to the Senate committee on the rent situation. Morton J, Luchs also spoke briefly. Many Strays in Glasgow. Glasgow, Scotland, has tens of thou- sands of stray dogs and cats, according to estimates based on the report just issued by the Glasgow Dog and Cat Home, a charitable institution.
