After many days we had lifted the COW
ering slab from this stone tomb, exposing
a hollow chamber directly underneath, in
which rested many ancient swords of a
shape never before encountered among
ancient relics. Ornaments which we after
ward concluded had been the insignia of
Semiramis's sovereignty, and which, no
doubt, she had worn upon state occasions,
were scattered in this trough-like chamber.
Little mounds of dust, with traces Of
threads and beadwork, were mute evidence
that here had been laid away the rich
robes and intimate garments of the Queen
herself, whose body, according to the in
scriptions above the tomb, reposed some
where beneath.
When we had opportunity to delve
deeper into the tomb, lifting aside another
layer OF slabs, we came to the catafalque.
In a huge solid stone space had been
carved large enough for the body OF the
Queen. The primitive sculptors had simu-

it stretched from one side of the rock to

room were in a good state of preservation,

of dust and gases which impeded our prog

From the bottom OF the stone steps
there stretched a raised platform, or dais,
with baIustrade of urns and vases across
the length of the room, traversing its cen

covered to be a large stone tomb set at
the foot OF huge slab, on which were the
familiar cuneiform characters Of the Hit

Semiramis went into the Vannic camps
and threw herself at the feet of the i'm
pressionable Aram. The king at once took
her into his household and gave her full
opportunity to perform her mission. So
infatuated did he become with the refugee
that his wise men and priests began to
conspire against the new concubine and
finally succeeded in opening the kings eyes
to her Vaccinations.
Aram was a willing lover. but he also
was wise king. He summoned Semi
ramis before him, reproached her and,
deaf to her pleadings that she sought moth
ing better than to prove her affection for
him. he sent her into the wilderness, bid
ding her return, as she came, to her As
syrian master
Semiramis returned to the palace of
ShamshiRamman, furious at the scorn of
Aram. whom she had grown to love- She
demanded of the Assyrian king that he de-
scend upon Aram and punish him. and
when ShamshiRsmman displayed a hesi-
tation, she offered to lead an army her
self, II he would grant her one, and bring

gave battle to the hosts of Aram on the
plains which skirt the shores of the lake,
and defeated him. When the toll of battle
was counted the, body of the king was
found among his slain warriors
Semiramis grieved greatly. She caused
the body of Aram to be buried in state
and its ashes confined in an urn which. in
after years, she must have removed to the
shrine she builded for herself in the Lesk
rock

there had been a circular opening in the
floor, through which the Queens treas

chambers the royal treasure. This floor
is divided into three smaller chambers.
The walls and stone columns which stand
alone are covered with inscriptions. About
the floor are scattered stone blocks which
probably are hollow and the repository of
sacred emblems or gold and jewels. There

by Djevdet Bey, the Governor. but from
the great mass Of cuneiform inscriptions
within the tomb we had already been able
to decipher Semiramis's story Of her own
amazing life and other matters Of great
interest.
She DISCLOSE herself as having been a
Khatti woman who had been captured by
the Babylonians and immured as a votary

city whose name has not yet been de-
ciphered. She was later again captured
by the Assyrian king, Shamshi-Ramman.

as she calls herself. Sammuramat, of which
SemiFamis seems to be the Greek and Ar
menian form, made good use Of the arts Of
love she had learned in the Temple Of Sar-
panit. the Babylonian Venus. There came
a time when Shamshi- -Ramman, having
failed in two attempts to conquer the great
king Aram of the Vannic Kingdom to the
north, bethought himself of the widely
heralded penchant of Aram for pretty girl
slaves. He chose Semiramis as that one
of his women most skilled in Voluptuous
allurements and bade her 20 into the north

= to light the actual tomb and remains
of Queen Semiramis, the most famous
woman of all ancient history, with her
own story of her life and her tragic ro-
nance.
Ancient chroniclers attributed so many
wonders to SemiramIs that moderns al
most began to doubt her existence Ac-
cording to the Greeks she was the wife OF
Minus. the plunderer of Nineveh. Old
Herodotus exercised his highest fancy IN
painting her achievements. She built the
great city of Babylon with its hanging gar
dens and other wonders
From legends and a few early inscrip-
tions discovered before this, we could be-
lieve that Semiramis was a very remark
able queen, perhaps the first woman con-
queror of history, who ruled in Mesopo-
tamia in early Biblical times. Now we
know her own story as inscribed at her
own command, and find that her life was
in many respects as remarkable as the
legends make it. The news of the discov-
cry OF the tomb and the extraordinary fash
ion Of its revealment are told here for the
first time by the Rev. Earle Mac r. F1em-
ming, who shared in the discovery.

Behind the stairway leading down into
this tomb room is smaller room, in which
one huge urn of bronze and clay rests in
solitary splendor upon a slab. Around the
walls are inscriptions as yet undeciphered.
What this urn contains may only be con-
iectured Perhaps it is the ashes of the
lost Aram-the king who was Semiramis's
only love, and whose asnes sne says she
preserved.
Below these chambers is another,
reached by sharply descending stairway,
also stretching clear across the rock. This
was the royal library" room, for here, in
inscriptions and pictorial carvings, on
walls and slabs, is written the history OF
the world as reported to the Queen, and
the history, too, of her own life. These
inscriptions, in various forms, have been
but partly translated. On the floor Of this
room there are countless uDns and vases,
each with an inscription or a pictorial
legend on its bowl not yet solved. What
they contain also is a mystery-perhaps
each one holds the ashes of royal lover.

, If Rosenberg really did reach
toward his pistol pocket and Stey-

an excellent foundation for a plea
of self defense if he ever is tried
for murder or even assault with
intent to kill.
Like all underworld kings, Ros-
enberg kept a woman. No men
tion has been made Of the pro-
verbal bulldog. The woman,
Virginia Reed, was a member OF
the redlight colony in Superior
until Max came along and be-
slowed his smiles on her, thereby
lifting her several rungs up the

SUPERIOR, Sept. 5.-(Spe-
cial to the Rip-saw)-There are
grave fears that Max. Rosenberg,
King Of the Underworld in Su-
perior, never will recover from
the bullet wound inflicted on him
by his partner, Billy Stevens.
Max Rosenberg, alias "Gefu-
elite. Max was shot by his part
ner Monday, August II, in the
Cafe America, during a business
quarrel. The bullet from a 49,
caliber automatic revolver shat
tered Rosenberg's left arm, near
ly penetrated his lung and lodged
between the folds Of the pleura,
or lung covering.
The human harpy nearly bled to
death from the wound, an ar
terry being cut. y 1t was not be-
lieved that he would live through
the night. He made his will and
!. awaited the worst.
At last Rosenberg began to
mend and it was reported that he
would be out and around in due
course. After that, Billy Stevens,
his assailant, was released on bail
in the sum Of $4,000. 1t has been
whispered among friends Of the
two men that, if Max recovered,
he would not prosecute his part
ner for the shooting.
Now comes the report from the
hospital thata Rosenberg is great
ly troubled by the bullet. 1t
has been moving around the tho
racic tract, greatly to the detri-
!! ment of the patient. X-ray pho
tographs, taken at different times
show the vagrant and erratic
course of the bullet between the
two folds Of the pleura.
The bullet has not been ex-
tracted because Rosenberg is too
weak to stand the operation, p,
That state of affairs makes
Rosenberg's friends fear the
worst. If he passes out, then
Stevens will have to stand trial
for murder in the first degree.
Those who know both men well
declare that Stevens is much the
better man Of the two. Although
| he is confirmed member Of the
| underworld, he is credited with
possessing many admirable hu-
| man traits. ~:
A gambler who has known
Rosenberg for many years has
very little to say in his favor.

habit of making a bad mouth over
money matter, whining about how

it is alleged, a huge sum was
