AMERIGAN TOURISTS ARERICH HARVEST Many From—llfismm Pay Visits to Luxor —_— . Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt, March 29 (By the Assoclated Press)-— Within the last month three big ocean liners from the Unitéd States have touched at Egypt, and swarms of Am- erican tourists have flacked down to the scene of King Tutankhamun's ter- restrial resurrection in the Valley of the Kings. American travelers who heretofore have spent their winters in the Holy Land, Algeria or other semi- tropical resorts, have this year chosen the Nile because of Its nearness to the tomb of the anclent Pharaoh. The great presidential shrines a« Mount Vernon and Springfield, Iiv, hn,\'t not attracted a greater number of American piigrims this winter than the strange subterranean scpulchre of Egypt. “Have you seen the new tomb?” is the first question put to every Ameri- can upon setting foot in Egypt. For in the popular view, not to have visit- cd the now famous mummy chamber is not to have been in Egypt. Ameri- can .visitors, instead of stopping off at | Cairo, as was their habit previousty, | now come directly down to Luxor, making the 450-mile journey from the capital in 12" hours, or more leisurely in one of the river excursion boats. The finding of Tutankhamun's tomb | has given this little Nile municipality | an importance it has not enjoyed in 8,000 years. On East Bank of Niie Luxor is snugly situated on the east | bank of the Nile, opposite ancient/| Thebes, and has a population of 15, 000. Its chief attrection, apart from the new royal tomb, is the temple ot Luxor, built by the svvereigns of a forgotten age and, until 1890, buried in the accumulated rubbish and mud of centuries. A Mohammedan mos- que built in the heart of the ruins ot the temple strikes an incongruous note. The principal industry of Luxos besides tourists’ hotels, is souvenir- making. The busy and ingenious Arabs of the town bring quantities of |- clephant tusks, rhinoceros hides and amber from the Sudan and other areas and convert them deftly into a thousand and one novelttes and knicle knacks to attract the tourists. The latest product of their ingenuity is an ivory figure of Tutankhamun which is sold for a dollar. The men of Luxor go about in long cotton cloaks and white turbans, while the svomen wear sombre dresses and shawls of deep black that cover even their faces. The chidren of both sexes ramble about the streets naked, a, custom dictated both by economy and the excessive heat. The only s¢hool in the town is an American missionary institution for girls. Like| the modern Greeks, the Egyptians or today take little interest in the his- tory and achievements of thei: an- cignt forebeats, and seem quite in- different »to-the- tentple-and tomb Bx- caVvating being carried on by the Am- erican, British and French archaeolo- THE A.

They are interested only in the amount of gold the new tombs may ion that large quantities of this are taken secretly out of Egypt by for- eigners. § Site of Ancient Thebes A pleasant 15-minute sail across the Nile in catboats rowed by Arabs brings the visitor to the site of an- clent Thebes, in its day the largest and most sumptuous capital in the world. The metropolis of antiquity is now a vast expanse of sand, marshes, sugar fields and straggling farms.

The Emperor Hadrian came here in the dawn of Roman history and scratched his In- itlals upon the pediment of the vocal Memnon, just as do the tourists of today.

The narrow footpath that led to it in the days when Tutankhamun's sanctuary was uninvaded by prowling archae- ologists has become expanded into the width of a good American road. It winds through poverty-stricken vil- lages of the native farmers, past the temple of Rameses III, and beyond the mountain- shrine of Queen Hat- shepsut, the Cleopatra of the Dynasty, and thence past the deathlike Valley of the.Queens. After getting a glimpse of the en- trance of Tutankhamun's rock-hewn portal—for no one is permitted to go into the tomb itself—visitors usuay seek the cool shade of one of the many tombs that are quarried in the side of the mountain. Here they dis- cuss the merits of Tutankhamun's sepulchre and eat their luncheon, while the mummified body of a sov- ereign of by-gone centuries rests In all its anclent majesty tn a ghostly inner chamber.

B0OZE HUNT RESUMED Prohibition Enforcement Officers In- structed to Watch Highways For Automobiles Carrying Liquor. ! Hartford, March 29.—“Watch all the highways closely. Halt any motor truck or pleasure car that 100ks sus- picious.” These are the orders which prohibition agents all over the state received a few days ago from Fed- eral Prohibition Director Mackenzie. He announced today that he had sent forth these orders because the disap- pearance of snow from the highways would probably resuit 'in a resump- tion of traffic in liquor over the high- ways and by ways in motor trucks and pleasure cars. FRENCH SOCIALISTS ARE SEEKING 70 FREE SACCO Organizing Demonstrations in Favor of Him and Vanzetti, Convicted Murderers Here. Paris March 29 (By Associated Press).—Labor unionists of extreme tendencies in Irance have, resumed their agitation in favor of Nicola Sac- | ed of murder at South Braintree, Mass.,, and are organizing meetings, the advance posters of which bear the caption: “Liberty or death.” These posters declare that “the infamous judge slayer (Judge Web-| s ster Thayer of the Massachusetts superior court), persists in postponing | the re-trial of Sacco and Vanzetti in spite of the fact that one after an- other, the prosecuting witnesses have retracted.” Slackening of the activities of the workers and anarchists throughout | the world is generally denounced at these meetings, particular, stress be- ing placed on the cases of Sacco and Vanzetti and the sentence to hanging of 172 peasants in India, The Krench action in the Ruhr is also repudiated by the labor extremists. The police as a rule attach no more significance to these meetings than to the usual run of extremist gatherings but a discreet guard is still main tained of Ambassador Herrick's resi dence and the American embassy.
