Five Days for Applause.
)ne Paul Flood had it impressed
in his mind to the tune of five
'8 in the county jail by ? his
nor, .Judge Mendel L. Smith, that
(lau.se at the present session of
Court of General Sessions is ex
mely bad form. Flood 'was seated
a forward pew of the court room
en a jury brought in a verdict of
[uittal for Willie Singleton, charg
with grand larceny. Flood ap
bved the leniency shown his ac
Mntance and friend Singleton by be
ginn'ng to clap his hands.
"Bring that man up here," was
the order of Judge Smith to court
attaches. When being presented be
fore the presiding judge this official
ref) roved Flood for his conduct and
told him that he felt five days in jail
would give him ample chance to pon
der tha. he twas much out of order
in applauding in a court of justice. ?

Unearthing $15,000,000 Treasure

?
World vide interest Is focused on the valley of the kings along tft*
Nile In Egypt ? where Howard Carter, an American, discovered the tomb
of King Tutankhamen for Lord Carnarvon of England. This is last

I"lttk> effect of time.
Luxor, Egypt, Feb. IS. ? The tomb
of Tutenkhamen was opened official
ly to visitors this afternoon, when
about 100 distingu shed personages
weie admitted to tsee the splendors
disclosed last weok.- From ea.ly in
the morning the track alongside the
Nile leading to the valley of if f? k n ,s
was c;o\v ..eu, an. I g eat numbe.s
hastened in various conveyances to
'he scene of the excavations, among
them bo ng some of those privileged
to enhance :n'o the tomb itself, o j
r\Lord Carnarvon, Howard Carter,
Professor Bieasted, Professor Lacau,
and o her noted Egyptologists had
assembled early to supervise the ar
rangement for receiving the guests.
The damage done inside the tomb
by thieves seems to have been far
less than was anticipated. The can
opy chamber itself apparently is al
most untouched. The large s'ze of
the canopy, which to a great extent
hides numerous inscriptions and dec
orations on the walls, has lod Mr.
Carter to think that it may cover
other mummies in addition to that of
Tutenkhamdn.
About two o'clock in the after
noon the queen of the 'Belgians, the
crown prince, and Field Marshal
Viscount Allenby and Lady Allenby
were conducted into the tomb. They
were accompanied by Professor La
cau and M. Cappart, director of the j
Cinquentinaire museum at Brussels. |
The queen's slight figure easily pass- j
ed through the n?rro(v opening in the'
sealed door. But some of the others
had to squeeze through, espec ally
Lord Allenby, who is n*?big man.
Entering through the breech into
the inner chamber, which now was
brilliantly lighted by electric lamps,
he visitors exclaimed with delight
and astonishments at the beauties of
the glorious serine. Notwithstanding
the heat and the closeness of the a -
mosphere, Queen Elizabeth remained
for more than half an hour, plying
her conductors with questions an i
expressing intense interest, but when
she emerged it was manifest that she
had suffered, and she was glad to
rest on a nearby chair and take a
draught of water.
Each day adds to the wonders dis
posed by further explorations into
the tomb of the Pharoah Tut-Ankh
Amen. In the opinion of Howard
Carter, who has charge of the exca
vation, two years of work are need
ful in the examination, registration,
photographing and treatment of the
treasures, which are* described as
"magn;firent and unprecedented in
the annals of Egyptology." There i
is reason to believe that the tomb
will be closed this week and left, as
it is the excavotors devoting the re
mainder of the season to preparing
for removal of the objects now under
treamen .
The American miniver to Egypt,
.1. Morton lIoAcll. and Mrs. How
ell also inspected the treasures and
the min ster described them as "stu-.
pendous. marvelous, beyond all im
agining."
In the fourth chamber, which i?
as big as the ahrine room, unsold
riches arc piled high, these includ
ing a great golden chest, innumer
able boxes and jars, xvine vessels.
va?w? ami ? two beautiful
little statures of the king standing
on a lion, heavily gilded, each ab^ut
a foot high. On the ground along
side the canopy a number of paddles
were found belonging to sacred
model boats. These paddles arp
about four feci long.
The chariots in this annex were
not set: up as first reported, but
had been taken apart, like those dis
co\ered in the first chamber.
Although King Tutankhamen .has
been dead for more than 3,000 years
'??e has crowded many presen -day
celebrities oif of the front, page and
i.'i succeeding M. Coue as a 'opc of
public inteiest, ..says the Gre n ille
News. No other Egyptian king has
ever received the newspaper publi
city that is com ng to the la'. ? Mr.
Tutankhamen, and his feat of break
ing into the front page with ?a bang
af er 3,300 years of patient wait ng
should, prove encouraging to hose
who have been vainly smuggling for
the limelight and who feel like giving
up in despair While everybody has
read about him, few undertake to
pronounce his full name an I by gen
eral consent he has been nicknamed
"King Tut,'-' though some call him
"Two-tank." A few are inclined to
speak flippantly of the ancient king
and the Atlanta Journal suggests that
he was a Two-tank-man who carried
a flask on each hip. The Nwwberry
Observer thinks this is a gross in
justice to Tutankhamen, say.ng that
his mummy was found in the "amen"
corner. But tut, tut, they shouldn't
speak like that.
The discovery of the ancient tomb
and its furnishings in an excellent
state of preservation is really a
triumph for archeology, something
which has heretofore been of very lit
tle interest to most of us. While
the average person has been scoffing
at archaeologists and imagining them
to be old cranks and mossbacks en
gaged in uninterestnig and useless
work, this latest discovery of impor
tance with its attendant publicity is
causing a change iff the public mind as
regards archaeology. And anybody
who can take a 3,300 year-old mum
my and some antique furniture and
from a location in Egypt drive poli
tics and murder mysteries from the
front pages of American newspapers
is anything else bh' a moss-bagk.
The finding of King Tutankhamen's
tomb is considered the greatest dis
covery in the annals of Egyptology.
The discovery was made by a Mr.
Howard Carter, who had been d-gg^ng
eight years without success. We are
fold that Tutankhamen reigned for a
few years about the middle of the
fourteenth century B. C., that is
nearly .'1,300 years ngo, and that his
earthly carerr ended when he was
about eighteen years old. lie whs
buried in what is known as the* valley
| of the tombs of the kings, where,
| the tombs wore carved out of the liv
i ,ng rock. These tombs are large af
fairs of several chambers each and
in th?* outer chamber of King Tut.'s
tomb were found royal furniture,
chariots nnd orhamentfi of priceless
value. The chariots are inlaid with
gold and precious stones, the furni
ture is covered with gold foil, the de
signs are the cosilicst known and
there are priceless paintings. A
great pile of old-looking l>oxes was
found containing food for the king's
delectation on his journey into the
next world. And even in that eArly
day there were robbers, for ynmis
takable evidence has been found that
the tomb was at one time broken
into and a search made for valuables.
The tomb was repaired and the doors
closed again and sealed as is shown
by the seals of a later king. After

thoroughly probing the outer chamber
of the tomb the explorers have now
opened the inner chamber \vhere we
are told they are confronted with
splendors which surpass even those
of the ante-chambers and where is ex

king.
It is quite unusual for work of this
