been more celebrated visitors than in
any previous year. and every condition
has been favorable to the maximum
enjoyment of the park.

persons to the same date in 1922 and

Nothing more discouraging than

EXPLORERS ARE PREPARING
To EXCAVATE KING TUT
Deep Sleep of Egyptian Mummy Will
Be Disturbed After Long Rest.

The deep, deep sleep Of King Tut
ankhamen may finally be broken.
King Tut has been resting quietly in
his tomb in Egypt for thousands OF
years. Pharaoh OF Egypt when the
country was at its period OF greatest
splendor. it was many hundreds OF
years before the time of Christ that
this mummy was deposited in the
massive stone tomb that rears its
head above the desert.
Deposited with the royal mummy
were jewels, art treasures, gold coin.
ard other valuable articles, the total
value OF which amounts to millions of
dollars.
To Dig Again.
Last winter Lord Carnarvon, an
Englishman. and Howard Carter. an
American. led an expedition which
succeeded in penetrating into the out
er chambers OF the royal tomb. Deep
in the recesses OF the massive stone
structure IS believed to be the num-
my OF King Tut. sleeping the eternal
sleep.
Lord Carnarvon has since died. but
Carter says that this winter eXCava-
tons will be pursued. and hopes are
entertained that the inner chamber
will be reached and that light Tor the
first time in thousands OF years will
strike into the gloomy sepulcher.
Expect Rare Find.
Many OF the valuable articles buried
with King Tut have been unearthed.
Garter believes, however that in the
inner chamber are jewels Of incom-
parable worth and that the royal
crown OF gold and diamonds, valued
at millions. may be found. The Egyp-
tians entombed the personal treasures
OF the dead with the body, in the be
lief that they would be used in the al
ter-life. King Tut's personal treas
ures have hardly been touched at yet
The imagination falters at what
the tomb may yet disclose" said Car
ter in discussing plans for the coming
winters excavations.
But II is not the discovery of the
treasures that enthralls the world so
much as the thought that after mil
'enniums the sleep OF the pharoah will
be disturbed. that the royal mummy,
wrapped in its gravecloths, will be
ressurrected from its tomb and may
be placed in some museum for the
people OF all nations to scrutinize.

With IN official weight OF 3.898H

sey pigs, Texas now holds the worlds
record Tor tonnage of pork produced
by one sow and for average weight
per pig in six months time. The lit

$50 days old, under the supervision OF
A. l. Ward swine specialist OF Tex
as A. and NJ. college, and officials OF
the McLennan county farm bureau.
The pigs averaged 3249 pounds per
head and made a daily gain of is
pounds for the whole feeding period.
The last twenty days of the daily
gain was 81 pounds for each pig.
There were fourteen pigs in the lit
ter, which was farrowed March S.
Twelve pigs were raised. The sow

War on Strike-Breakers.
Kid Dropper and his followers were
engaged several years ago by striking
wet wash laundry workers to beat up
strike breakers. Later, when the strlk-
ers won. Kid Dropper hired out to the
wet wash laundry proprietor to wage
war on proprietOrs OF hand laundries.
The spirit OF conmercialism has ia
ken possession of the gangster. While
there never, was anything OF a com
mendable nature about the East Side
tough. at least the Yakey Yates and
the Plug Uglies fought face to face
and generally for the love OF fighting
or because they mixed their beers
with whisky too freely.
Nowadays the Kid Droppers and
Little Augies" do not fight. They
drop a man by' shooting him in the
back and for hire or because he IS a
member OF rival gang. They are, too,
opponents OF the double cross.
The Double-Cross
This was illustrated by the tactics
OF Kid Dropper, who, by the way,
earned his title when mere boy by
beating I'D children and taking away
the pennies which had been given
them to buy candy at the corner gro
Gerry.
Kid Dropper was arrested, shortly
before his death, with Is of his gang
sters while entering into contract
with leaders OF the musicians union,
soon to 60 out on strike. The gang
sters We're being hired to club strike
breakers At the same time he had a
contract with the other side to pro-
tect and escort strike-breakers to their
places OF employment In other words,
hall cf his gang was to protect strike
breakers, the other half was to way
lay and give them a clubbing.
Motive Was Jealousy.
Little Augie" and his gang were
not doing so well. They cnvied the
prosperity Of Kid Dropper and his
henchmen. Then it was that Louis
Cohen joined the former gang and
was persuaded TO go out and kill Kid
Dropper.
Now Cohen faces a murder charge.
But his gang is loyal. Somehow or
other large sums OF money are being
collected to save Cohen from the
chair. The best lawyers will defend
him. Five years up the river" is the
he expects. Five years in
Sing Sing-it isn't much for murder.

GANGS WAGE DEADLY WAR
IN HEART OF NEW YORK CITY

more wears ago-the days OF Monk
Eastman, Big Jack Zelig, Niger Mike
Salter. Johnny Spanish, Paul Kelly
and Kid Twist Time was when the
East Side was Irish and the gang
sters were Irish. They fought Tor the
love OF fighting. Did the followers OF
Kelly invade the domain OF the fol
lowers Of Johnny Spanish there was
certain to be fight. Broken heads
bruised bodies and bloodled noses
were the only casualties inflicted,
however. Those were days OF Red
Leary and Danny Driscoll, OF the Five
Points gang, the Yakey Yates, the
Plug Uglies and the Whyo gang.
They fought among and between
themselves but only with tough tstS
and brickbat or two.
These gangs were occasionally Tor
hire. Politicians hired them, in the
old DAYS. on election day. Monk East
man. for instance. would corral his
gang. march them to the polls. and
order them to vote six or dozen
times for certain candidates. Say,
said Monk once, Il cut some ice
in this town. Why, l make hall OF the
big politicians.
New Aspects of War.
Came natives OF Italy to the East
Side. The Irish left to settle in other
parts OF the city. The Italians also
engaged in gang warfare but instead
OF fists and brickbats they used the
deadly stiletto. Gang leadership was
taken over by such men as Louis POg-
gi. surnamed The Lamp, Jimmy kel-
" de Silvio and Big Jack Sirocco,
These knife fighters confined their
activities for the most part to mem
bers of their own race They kept on
the East Side and the rest OF New
York city didn't bother much about
gang warfare. Now enters a new ele-
ment on the East Side-the Jews from
Russia. Germany, Poland and Aus
tria. Now comes the regime OF Dopey
Benny Fem. Dave Bernstein, Kid
DropDer and Little Augie.' Where
FORMERLY gangs fought with gnarled
fists and brickbats and later with
knives now reviewers are used. ne
gangster now is a sallOw youth slight
OF build. s1ouching in his gait, sneak
ing in his manner and one who al
wavs shoots at a rivals back.
Now too does the gang leader real
ize that money can be made through
his followers.
The gangs are now employed by
strikers to war on strike-breakers and
They are also employed by
manufacturers and other employers to
war on rival employers or strikers.
