1fHE very throne hall in which Moses
called down tho ten plaques upon
tho Pharaoh OF Egypt has been
excavated.
This remarkable achievement Is the
latest work OF the Eckley d. Coxo, Jr.,
Expedition to Egypt. Mr.. Coke is the pres
ident of the University Museum connected
with tho University of Pennsylvania. The
present work in Egypt is in charge OF DR..
Clarence S. Fisher. one OF the curators OF
the museum.
The wonderful hall stands in tho great
palace Of tho Pharaoh Merenptah at
Memphis in Egypt-the greatest palace yet
found. And not less wonderful than the
finding of the hall is tho finding OF tho
gorgeous throne itself on which the Pha.
raoh sat when he gave audience to Moses
and Aaron.
Scholars generally agree that Mcrenptah
was probably the Pharaoh Of tho Exodus
the Pharaoh who would not let the Israel
ties leave Egypt until he was smitten with
the ten plaques. and who even then changed
his mind, pursued them, and was over
whelmed IN the Red Sea-
The Pharaoh OF the Oppression was

lions his name In connection with the
cruel labor he forced on the Israelitos at
the towns of Rameses and Pithom Now
an original inscription OF Merenp,ah. tho
son of ltameses. speaks of his victories
over the lsraclitcs, and this makes II prob.
able that he was the Pharaoh Of the Exc
dus, the monarch who knew not Joseph"
This being SO, IL must have been in the
throne room OF Merenptah's palace that
the scenes described in the Book OF Exodus
occurred-scenes that are among the most
Impressive i'll the sacred history. 1t was
mere that the majestic leader, Moses and
his priestly brother, Aaron, appeared be-
fore Pharaoh and warned him to let the
lsraeiiteS leave Egypt. 1t was here that
aaron cast down his rod and commanded
u 10 change into serpent. which devoured
the rods Of the Egyptian sorcerers, a
miracle that should have convinced Pha-
raoh that tho Almighty was on the side of
Israel.
From the throne now discovered tho
proud Pharaoh. perhaps inwardly quakin.
at the miracles he Witnessed refused to
listen 10 the warnings of Moses. In this
same throne room the Israelite leader
brarely repeated his warnings again and
again. one after another the dreadful
plaques fell upon Egypt. but Pharaoh re.
FUSED to let the Israelites go until the
plague OF the frstborn broke his heart.
Even then he changed his mind and pur.
sued the israelftcs to the Red Sea, where
his army was drowned, as the Book of EXC.
dus tells us.
Last year DR.. Fisher uncarthed the ruins
OF the great temple of Pharaoh Merenptoh

centuries. 1t was in this temple that
Moses is supposed to have spent some ~
his time, but tho discovery has been OK.

The palace is about 40 feet long and
100 feet wide and contains twenty rooms
a row OF pillars decorated the front. and
behind the entrance there was a grand
Vestibule containing two parallel rows,
running across the building, Of six columns
each. These were about four feet in diam
eter and the height was proportional. Only
the bases and some fragments remain, for
the fire seems TO have been highly de-
structive. 1t is evident that the palace
was constructed without regard to cost
and 1t is most unfortunate that so much of
IL has been destroyed. 1t is presumed
that DIR. Fisher, who is an architect and
who has been exploring in the Orient for
a dozen years, will be able to work out a
restoration" Of the building which will
give clear idea of how it appeared before
destruction. He has already prepared a
ground plan IN great detail.

McAlester, Okla, March 1S.-Quick.
cool action and "sure shooting" by W.
r. Mayfield, a guard at the peniten-

prevented an uprising at the state
prison late yesterday.
Fifty prisoners suddenly assaulted
Mayfield in the brick plant where he
was foreman. Richard Williams, serv-

and the leader of the blacks. knocked
Mayfield down.
The other negroes started hurting
bricks at Mayfield as he lay PROSTATE.
Williams, retreating to a safe distance,
was about to hurl a brick when May
field, from a crouching position, shot
him thru the head. The wound is be-
lieved to be mortal by the prison
physician.
Following the shooting, the other
blacks were cowed into submission
and returned to work.
