Vatican City, July 8 (#—The ex- cavations north of the Dead Sea by Father Alexius recently in cable Mallon, announced dis convinced authori- the famed atches from Jerusalem, have ties here he discovered wicked cities of the old testament Sodom and Gomorrah. Father Mallon, who is director of the Jerusalem sections of the pon- tifical Biblical institute of Rome, also is certain he has uncovered the places destroyed, as the Bible say “by brimstone and fire from tae Lord out of heaven." It was from these cities that the just man Lot fled, and it was here that Lot's wife. 80 the testament tells us, turned around to see the conflagration and was changed into a pillar of salt. Thinks Five Towns Found Sodom and Gomorrah were two of a group of five towns called *Cities ' of the Plains.” The others we Admah, Zebolim and Zoar. Father Mallon believes he has found them all in the region of eastern Ghor, in . Tran Dead a Lxcavations were begu last No- vember on a plain between t ‘Wady Gharbeh and the Wady Djar- afa. Twe workmen were distri- buted into two camps, one directed by Father Mallon, the other by M. Neuville, counsellor of the French consulate.

In the Holy Land there ar other ruins bet- ter preserved than those of Sodom and Gomorrah." Excavations carried on by J. O'Rourke, rector of the Pontificat Biblical Institute of Rome, prove that the ruins go back to the third millennium before Christ, that the cities were destroyed about twenty centuries before Christ, and were not therefore inhabited. This prov that they had an appreciably long existence, something like a thousand years, Proves Location of Citles Before beginning his excavations, Father Mallon had to prove to his own sfaction that Sodom and Gomorrah existed on the north si of the Dead Sea and not on the south side, as a number of archacol- ogists maintained With the help of another Jesuit, ther Power, he was able to prove this from the Bible itself.

The fire started in a broom fa tory and spread to two other sho and the {wo residences before ap- paratus from Frankfort, Lexington and Louisville succeeded in putting it out. The 500 convicts, at work in- slde the broom factory. aided fire- men. No one was reported injured. The factories were adjacent to the reformatory building, which houses 2,350 prisoners, and were enclosed by a high stockade. Although sparks from a switch engine were blamed as the cause of the blaze, authorities started an in- vestigation of the incendiarism.
