age of twenty-five. He lives in the al

ers
Doctor Gates, who is director gen.
eral of the national museum of Guate-
mala. has been studying the Maya in
scriptions and ruins for more than
twenty years. AS result of his pres
ent studies he expects shortly to be
able to translate the entire writing
system. and reveal the know ledge and
attainments Of the Maya civilization.
Already several of the cabalistic sym
bols have been read, and it is expected
that an announcement concerning tie
deciphering, of great Importance to
ethnologists and archeologlsts. will be
made shortly.
The final success of his extended in
vestigation, Doctor Gates said, was due
not only to the use of the kymagraph
in his research, but to study of the
grammar of the present tongues and
application of the rules thus worked
out to the writing found in the in
scriptions.

Close Up Jail
This Offense Of the Americans fol-
lowed an early Sunday morning epi-
sode Of two weeks before in which a
whole station was corrupted. Two
Americans after joyous Saturday
night reused the exclusive West End
with ribad singing Of some of Amer
ica's best known barber shop SYM
phonies. They We're arrested ami
taken to jail. Refusing to be irritated
by their arrest they prevailed upon
one of the reserves to visit a nearby
all night cafe and bring back cham
pasne. With each visit of the police
men, who arranged shifts between the
station house and the cafe, the melO-
American repertory was varied with
the old German favorites.
By five o'clock in the morning the
neighbors began to complain and the
indignant policemen decided, upon the
suggestion of the Americans, to close
the jail Accordingly they repaired To
one of the uptown hotels and visiting
the rooms Of several friends of the
Americans who were to sail for Amer
lea the same day, pronounced all their
passports invalid in such an earnest
manner that the sleepy guests were
obliged to buy more champagne when
the Joke" was discovered.
Chief Is Indignant
When the chief of the outlying sta
tion arrived and found the place locked
up he was a bit more than surprised,
but when his trusted officers finally re-
turned in taXicabs, still singing
snatches of American songs and tell
ing about the regular fellows" they
had in Jail the night before. he was
astounded and penned an indignant re-
port to the police chief suggesting that
all Americans be made ineligible for at
least the quiet. residential district
prisons.
Thus far there has been no ruling
excluding the visitors from the United
States from jails.
