who had charge of the other two. Cost
gan, it was said. was acting under orders

the raiders drew revolveSs and blocked
the exits. The names OF the forty were
taken. and seven were arrested on Joe
Doe warrants issued by Chief Magis-
trate McAdoo. charged with keeping a
gambling place.
About the same time Hickson's men
raided the rear OF the saloon at 80 West
Goth ST. Ten men were found there and
two John Doe warrants served. Two
telephones. which proved to be slot ma
chimes. were destroyed. Next, at the cor
ner Of Sixth az. and Seth St. the raiders
arrested Joseph p. Herman, Of Rock
away Beach, and charged him with ac-
Cepting bets, and David Baum. of 1O6
East S1st St, accused of having u hand

The Morris squad. under Sergeant Hut

some details this week of his recent dis

made at AhyIog, about halfway between

expeditions I'm lsl2-13 and l9l3-14. carried
further the work done by Professor
FlIn2ers-Pet-ie and Miss Murray Pro-
fessor Naville says OF his discoveries:
I'VE worked from December "a, 1913. to
March II, 1914. and during the eleven
weeks we experienced anxiety as well as
excitement. At nine yards under the soil
We found a large building constructed
in granite and very hard red sandstone.
This edifice is divided into three naves.
which are surrounded by sixteen large
cells all IDENTICAL i'm size and shape, and
containing no inscriptions on the walls

the building was many thousand years
old, as the walls Of the more modern
ediilces OF ancient Egypt are covered
with inscriptions IN front OF the cells

huge blocks OF granite. and the platform

the chamber of Osiris by piercing a hola

never known what the thieves carried
away. Did they take the sarcophasus OF
Osiris?
According 10 our observations tho
temple and tomb Of Osiris was modified.
and perhaps enlarged bv Set l. about
the year 10 B. &. Ancient legends state
that the body Of Osiris was dismembered
every night by his enemies. and that the
members were transported 10 different
parts OF Egypt and frther. that his sons
gathered the members every morning
and brought them back 10 the temple e
AbydoS. For this reason perhaps there
are supposed TO be several tombs of Osiris
in Egypt. but the real one is at Abydos,
We are sure.
