vance guard Of the archaeological
expedition which went to Guatemala
to explore the Maya ruins, returned
home today looking little the worse
for the wear and tear OF "a trir
through tropical America. This guard
consists Of Professor Sylvanus &.
Morley and Jesse Nusbaum. the we'll
known expert with the camera. hi.
rector HeWett is expected TO arrive
tonight, and tomorrow Will likely is
sue a statement about the results of
the three months expedition.
1t is understood that a number of
most interesting discoveries were
made by the Santa Feaus ana that
Mr.. Nusbaum secured no less than
GOO photographs, some of Which arc
very interesting and valuable from an
archaeological standpoint.
Mr. Nusbaum declared today that
he had not been 50 dangerously itl
from the malaria fever as was ru-
mored, but admitted that he had been
down with it. He vas looking in first
rate condition and many greeted him
as he stood in front eff the Palace
this AFTERNOON.
The party left for Santa Re about
the middle of April and made part
OF the journey by carriage or wagon.
Asked If they had encountered any
warriors in Honduras where there
has been SO much warfare for years,
Mr.. Nusbaum could not refrain from
laughing. rs there anything funny
about the ,Honduran wars?" asked
the reporter. Il do not know that
there is" replied the archaeologlst,
still smiling, but your question re-
minds me Of the query we put.to the
r1fnicfaV fttnf, in the Piftf
of Guatemala. We asked him If there
was a revolution on in Honduras, for
we wanted to know what we We're to
face. He replied, with the utmost
gravity: All! No danger, this week
there is peace
Mr.. NusDaum found the light value
in Guatemala far different from Santa
re, or rather the conditions were diff
ferent for the heav.' foliage required
from eight to ten times as long an
exposure as in this city. He devel-
oped a number of his films and found
them satisfactory.
on all their journeys the achaeolo-
gists, armed with credentials from
Uncle sam and the Guatemalan gov
eminent, were received with the
greatest courtesy, IND no untoWard
event married the pleasure of tleil
trip.
Mr. Nusbaum brought back some
interesting coins, showing a crude
way of making silver pieces of
money. and these he will work into
a watch fob. He also has several
formidable looking bills. the $40 bill
being worth about $1.2O and a gOr-
geous So bill worth just thirty
ents.'
Mr.. Nusbaum declined to discuss
the results of the expedition, but said
that Director Hewett will probably
give out something for publication in
a day or two.
