INDICTED GREEKS GONE.
High Steamship Line Officials Declared
in Immigration Plot.

New York, April 1S.-The United
States government probably will have
to start a European hunt to apprehend
several officers and members of the
crew of the Greek steamship Athinia,
who were arrested and indicted on
February 25, charged with conspiracy
in a widespread plot for smuggling I'M
desirable aliens into this country. The
men when arrested all gave bail-a to-
tai of $45,000-for appearance on
their ships next voyage to this side.
She is in her dock again today, but
manned this time by an entirely new
outfit of officers and men.
The moment the ship tied up at her
pier. a United States attorney went on
board to take the indicted men to
court. To his surprise, he found the
vessel in charge of a completely new
set of men. The court will be asked
on Monday to declare their bail for
feited The offense is not one extra
ditable from Greece, but as the men
are all seafarers, the belief is that they
may be arrested as fugitives in some
other country.
According to the. district attorney,
some high steamship officials are in
volved in the plot, by which, it is
charged. thousands of persons deport-
able under the law, were landed here.
For months before making the first
open move, government agents worked
obtaining evidence. Some crossed the
Atlantic on vessels under suspicion,
and in one case an agent went back to
Greece as a depOrted alien.

BURIED CITIES FOUND.
Civilization Surprising Ancient Egypt
Found in Guatemala.

New York, April 1S.-Edgar L.
Hewitt, director of the School of
American Archaeology, has just re-
turned to New York from Quirigua,
Guatemala, with q glowing report of
the American researches there. The
diggings at both Quihigua and Copan,
he says, have laid bare ancient cities
of surprising splendor, which flourish
ed long before the Christian era.
The American archaeologists are in
complete possession of the ruins of
Quirigua. There they have found
sculpture as beautiful as any that
Egypt or Assyria ever boosted, and
hieroglyphics even more interesting,
but these can scarcely be read at all.
Only the system of reckoning time has
been deciphered, and the real history
is carved on blocks which no man has
yet been able to translate.
Close study of the masterpieces of
antique genus thus far unearthed
seems to show close cultural resem-
bIance between this civilization and
that of the races further north, but
there is not enough resemblance to
prove that there ever was any actual
connection of North and South Amer
lea before the fall of Rome
