Worrall of Meriden, state Including 101 Mummies, In Caves | =& i = Of Ancient Egyptians at Meydum * Scarabs and Toilet Articles Unearthed From Tomb —One Gallery Crowded With Coffins, Inscribed With Qualities of Occu- pants. Cairo, Egypt, March 21 (P—Ex- cavators under the direction of the University of Pennsylvania are mak- ing discoveries of considerable his- toric value, including 101’ mummies, amid the tombs of ancient Egyp- tians at Meydum. Several wunsuspected chambers with untouched coffins and contents have been unearthed by the party, which has been digging since No- vember, and although' the discover- ies are not so rich in artistic and historic interest as those at Luxor ond more recently at the Spinx, they make a valuable contribution to knowledge of Egyptian history over a wide period. Toreigner’s Tomb Explored The first tomb of note to be un- carthed was that of a foreigner who, some of the pottery indicated, had come from Cyprus and settled at Meydum in the reign of Thothmes the third, about 1500 B. C. His name was K. A. Gamesh. His coffin was beautifully decorated and inscribed with a record of his qualitles. In another large coffin, also of rich interior, scveral mummies were found, as well as 25 scarabs, numer- ous amulets and a set of very deli- cate toilet articles. To the east of the Mastaba was discovered a cemctery of contem- porary date. A number of bodies were exposed, all having been bur- ied in the same manner, namely with their heads to the north and lying on their left flanks with faces turned to the east. This position was customary under the XVII dynasty at Meydum and elsewhere, but the most prolific yield was obtained from a spot which was sunk some dis- tance to the southeast of the pyra- mid. Here the explorers came upon 12 rock cut chambers, most of which were stacked up to the ceiling with Jayers of coffins in rows. In addi- tion to 29 single burials, witheut coffins, this “complex” contained 101 mummies in coffins of which 30 were recovered in a fair state of preservation. See Through Wall . The chambers were discovered in the reverse order of their dating, which ranged from the new empire 1o the Ptolemaic and Roman era. When the first chamber was reached, the explorers were able to sec through a chink in the wall the rows of coffins in a larger and low- er chamber to the north and when this was broken into it was seen to be an anteroom with other cham- bers leading -from it. N The anteroom was piled high with corpses nd coffins thick with cob- webs and covered with rubble and lumps of rock which had flaked off from the ceiling. Jt took several days hard work to reduce their con- fusion to order and sort out skele- tons, mummies and coffins. Photo- graphs were taken of each stage of the work. Only the better preserved | coffins were kept. The chambers on the south side of the pit were similarly disposed but the three adjoini.g rooms . were found to be sealed. One contained a very black coffin of the 12th dynasty (B. C. 2000), rectangular in shape and painted in exquisite white hieroglyphs with religious texts from the Heliopolis recession of the book of the dead. The coffin had originally belonged to a lady named Sat Her Em Hat, but was again used during the 18th dynasty, or thereabows. Underneath | lay the remains of a similar coffin belonging to a person named | Khenti Khet Em Hat. | ONOWDEN CLASHED WITH CHURCHILL. Chancellor of Exchequer's Re—j fort Called “Yulgar” by Enemits Tondon, March 21 (A—Party| feeling in the house of commons is | running so high on the budget, | which will be introduced April 14, that clashes are frequent. Particularly are they noticeable hetween the chancellor of the ex- | chequer, Philip Snowden, and his predecessor, Winston Churchill. Mr. Snowden has been pressed | regularly in the house to reveal something of the coming budget but | he has refused, stating that he has said half a dozen times he could not anlicipate his budget statement. Asks Better Reason “Surely.” said Mr. Churchill, on ene occasion, “Mr. Snowden should give the house some better reason | for persisting in his attitude of | spiteful contumc)y.” | Mr. Snowden retorted that he had | a precedent in Churchill's “spiteful” | reimposition of the McKenna duties | safeguarding the British silk and | motor car industries which the first | labor government removed. Then, Mr. Snowden refused to re- ceive a deputation from the silk trade and Mr. Churchill rose to point out that the chancellor of the exchequer usually received at this timo of the year as many as 15 dep- | utations from industries who fear the effects of the budget. “One reason for my refusal.” | Snowden explained easil®, “is that 1 do not find as much enjoyment as | Mr. Churchill did in airing his views before denutations.” Call Retort Vulgar Snowden's snub roused the con- | servatives to fury' and one veice cried ont. “That was very vulgar, Snowden.” “If my answer appeared to be vul- gar T am sorry to fall into the pre- i cedent which has just been set” 8nowden replied, with 1a scorntul wave at Churchill. Conservatives cried *arrogance, insolence, impudence,” but the con- test of the budget remained a close- ly guarded secret, within Mr. §now- den’s white haired head.

The legal con- tention is expected to be that the word men in the definition “men of good character” defining juror's qualifications, is a general term ap- plying to men and women alike.
