WONDERFUL WORK GOING
ON IN DESERTS OF EGYPT
TO FIND RELICS.

Working Together to Uneal:th the
Treasures Of the Valley of
the Nile.

Washington, ID. G.. June 15.-When
the announcement is made that some
exploration expedition has rescued
from the bowels of the earth material
that reveals the history of the people
who lived three thousand and more
years ago, lew people realize the at
tendant difficulties and %hardships that
are frequently undergone for the sake
of that branch Of science. Wallace
N. Stearas, in a communication to the
National Geographic Society, at Wash
ingtOn, d. c., gives some idea of this
side of the work in the reconstruction
OF Egypt's history.
Need Much Equipment.
These stupendous excavations
along the Nile call for equipment Oh a
considerable SCALE he says. Work
must be rapid. December l to April
1 marks the working year. Every
moment is precious. Every carload
must count. Every shcvelful of earth
must be carefully sifted whenever
there is a possibility of a find. Even
a basket brigade is sometimes pressed
into use. AS soon as some apparent
ly valuable piece is located, workmen
arc called off, experts are sent in,
every man is on guard. Carefully
every inch OF soil is watched as the
last baskets CT earth arc removed.
Every fragment must be saved and
laid away until everything has been
uncovered.
Keen disappointment.
Think of the disappointment when,
for example, a magnificent statue
comes out headless. Think Of the
conjectures as to the whereabouts of
the missing piece and the Juror when,
perhaps, weeks afterward, the lost is
found. There is an air OF hushed ex-
p%ectancy, a suppressed excitement
lowering over, that keeps men up un-
der the most tense strain under which
the work is of necessity conducted.

AT Deir-el-Bahari the debris had to

WHITE SLAVE
TRAFFIC LESS
Attorney General Says In
ternational Violations
Are Decreasing.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 10.-Inter-
state white slave traffic is decreasing
as a result of federal activity, attorney
general T. W. Gregory states in his
annual report made public here today.
For the fiscal year ended June 30 last,
there were 4S5 white slave indictments
and S57 convictions, compared with 3S2
indictments and 266 convictions for the
year preceding.
The bureau Of investigation has had
an average Of Al antitrust investiga-

violations of the national bank
ruptcy act have become so numerous
and so fragrant that special attention
has been given to them by the in
vestigating agents" says Mr.. Gregory.
Approximately three times as many
indictments and twice as many conv1c-
lions have been obtained as were had
during 1913 in cases in which agents
of the department were engaged.
Difficulties in dealing with cases Of
fraudulent impersonation of govern
ment officers emphasize the need for
penaLzing the use by detective
agencies, collection agencies, and the
like, Of the names United States,

bureau" or division of investigation"
says the attorney general.
Makes Recommendation.
The attorney general has several
recOmme ndatiOns for new legislation.
He would have the laws prohibiting
a railroad from transporting freight in
which it has an interest redrawn so
that the ends of the statute could not
be defeated by clever systems of in
corporation. He calls attention to the
curious fact that while it is a crime to
assault, beat or wound an officer Of
the United States engaged in serving
or executing process, it is no federal
crime to kill such officer under the
same circumstances.
The attorney general asks to have the
right of search extended so as to assist
in running down swindling advertising
frauds working great hardships upon
the cTedulous poor" which depend on
the mails for success in their nefarious
operations.
Mr.. Gregory -renews the recommended
lions OF previous annual reports that
limitations be put on extravagant at
torneys' fees in bankruptcy cases and
that the charges in such cases be more
definitely fixed.

MISSOURI SETS A PRECEDENT
TO OUTLAW SOCIAL CLUBS

Austin, Texas, Dec. 10.-If the Texas
courts follow the example of the courts
in Missouri, the Country club, the Toltec
club, the Elks' club, the Moose club and
any other kindred social organization
in Ell Paso will be restrained soon from
selling liquor
The case now pending in Texas is a
parallel to that just decided by the
supreme court of Missouri in which the
court held that bonifide social clubs
were without the right to sell liquor at
any time.
The pending case in Texas was tried
in the 26th district court which rem
dered decision eljoining the Country
club from dispensing liquor on election
day but permitting the serving OF
drinks on sundays and after $3.50 o. m,
the legal closing hours for saloons.
From this decision the attorney gem
eral, on behalf of the state took an
appeal contendinE that the clubs have
no right to dispense liquors to their
members or to anyone else
