STRUGGLING FOR ADM|RAlsH|P
Several Navy Captains Covet the
Title of Rear
Admiral.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-The COM
ing vacancy of the billet of chief of the
bureau of yards and docks OF the navy
department, with the rank of rear adj
miral, promises to lead to an interest
ing test of rival candidates. The fight
appears, for the present, to be con-
fined to line officers, since the only civil
engineers eligible under the law, are
officers Of the corps, who are not re-
garded as available.
OF course, if Peary, who is a civil
engineer in the navy, should be heard
from later in the year as having
reached the north pole. perhaps the
question would be settled by his ap-
pointment, although his arctic achieve
ments would probably place him suf-
ficently in demand as a lecturer to
make a bureau craftsmanship appear
tame, uninteresting and improbable.
The situation has led to the mention
of number of prominent line officers
for the place to succeed Rear Admiral
M. T. Endicott as head of the corps
of civil engineers, and who retires for
age in November
Among those mentioned in this con-
nection are Captain E. H. c.. LeutZe.
commandant of the navy yard and SUI
at Washington; Commander John M.
Bowyer, now in command Of the Co
lumbia; Captain Richardson Clover,
who is in Washington on waiting Or
ders, and Captain Richard Wainwright,
member of the general board.

Prof. Flinders. Unearth's Worship
ping Place Of Ancients.
THINKS HE HAS RAMEsEs' COIN CACHE
SOLVE PROBLEM
THAT HAS BEEN BOTHERING
SCIENTISTS FOR YEARS.

BOSTON, Mass, May 1S.-The Rev.
DR.. William Copley Winslow, noted
archaeologist Of this city has received
an extensive communication from Pro-
fessor Flinders Petrie, the well known
Psychologist, containing some highly
interesting details of his recent discov-
cries near Cairo, Egypt. According to
the statements of Professor Petrie he
has discovered the remains of the
Temple of Onias at Eel-El- Yahu- dieh,
IS miles north of Cairo, and he has
brought to light evidence of the pres
ence of the Hyksos. or shepherd kings,
in the Delta, thereby solving an inter-
esting puzzle on this point Professor
Petrie also states that he has, in all
probability, identified the treasure city
of Rameses built by the Israelites In
bondage thousands of years before the
time of Christ. The construction of the
city Is TeIerTeU W III Tie III 81 SHopeCI
of the Book of Exodus.
The mounds of Tel El-Yahu- dieh
were visited and described in 1925 by
Linant, the French engineer and ex-
plorer. Subsequently Greville Chast-
er, Hayter Lewis, Brugsch Bay and
others examined or eXcavated the site.
In 1887, for the Egypt exploration fund,
Professor Naville made determined eff
forts to disclose the secrets of the
mounds, but did not succeed.
Professor Petrie, in his communica-
ton to Dr. Winslow, says, "Our dis
covery Of the actual town and temple
site of Onias is beyond doubt. 1t is
a very clear case of all the known re-
auirements being satisfied as to date,
place, conditions and buildings. Be-
sides the temple site and city, we have
a remarkable historical subject here in
clearing the Hyksos cemetery and the
great fort of the Hyksos. The tombs
contain scarabs of the Hyksos, and
we have got at this place scahabs of
Khyan, Apepi II, and Skhanra, who
were probably all Hyksos.'

ONE HUNDRED STORY SKYScRAPER
Giant Buildings Coming Says New
York Contractor-ShootP eo-
pie Up Tubes.

. NEW YORK, May 1S.-A 100-story
building, covering an entire block,
probably will be the next development
of this age of skyscrapers, according to
Theodore Starrett of the Thomson
Starrett Building Construction COM
pany.
Twill New York have a 100-story
building in the near future?" said Mr..
Starrett. Perhaps. I might say, not
yet, but SOON In New York we must
keep on building and must build up
ward.
1--WE have about reached the limit so
far as elevator service in our high
buildings is concerned. The weight of
the cable for a 2S--story building eleva-
tor service is something enormous, and
if we are to build much higher we
must find some new method of perpen
dicular transportation.
mo doubt instead of the old style
elevator. the new type of building VIII
be equipped with pneumatic tube con-
veyarces and we shall be shot upward
with as great raDidity as letters are
sent across Brooklyn bridge.
Perhaps we shall have transfer
points at each twentieth floor. and on
each transfer floor there will be some
particular department. Maybe on the
twentieth floor we shall have general
market. on the fortieth floor theatres,
on the sixtieth. a shopping district, and
so on for the big building of the future
will be a city within itself"
