Egypt April 6, (By Associated Press),- Among the wealth of antiquities found in the tomb of Tutankhamur no trace has yet been discovered oi single scrap of .papyrl that will throw any light on the obscure his tory of Egypt during that monarch's reign. Indeed, not even the hiero- glyphic inscriptions and pictorial legends on the walls of the mortuary chamber reveal any intelligible facts concerning the life and achievements of tho king who ruled the Nile 1850 years before Christ.
 Most of the 30 or more other royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings are adorned with innumerable sculptures. bas-reliefs, paintings and tablets, Illustrative of the periods in which the Pharaobs reigned These inscriptions and paintings are, more- over, of a much higher merit than the few which have been found in Tutankhamun's death chamber. They have been of invaluable service to the American and British archaeologists in piecing documents found in the tombs. the fragmentary history of the old and new empire.

MANY WANT TOBE
 SOUTH SEA KINGS
People Get Wrong Impression Of
 Newspaper Headline

Honolulu. T. H.. April 6.--The United States harbors q large num- Der of citizens who would be kings. according to letters applying for royal jobs which have found their way to Governor Wallace R. Harrington. They come as a result of an appar- ently widespread misconception of the South Seas. V
 The applicants got busy after read ing a mainland newspaper article headed Rulers Wanted for Islands In South Seas" and the erroneous infor- nation that details might be obtain- cd from the American Consul at Hon. olulu." The deluge of letters that fol- lowed found their way. In the absence of m American, Consul at Honolulu, to the American governor of the American Territory of Hawaii.
 Part of . Series.
 The newspaper article was part of z series entitled Life as It Really Is in the South Seas" The first article. according to information here. began with the question:; How would you like to be the ruler of a South Sea Island?" Apparently the number of American citizens who crave to don royal paraphernalia in some far-off palm-lined, tropic island Is legion. The applicants included insurance sales- men, farmers. university students. oil men, cowboys. clerks and bankers. The position of king was described as not arducus hours not long. and with continued series of "tall glasses of amber rum punch" always at the el- bow of the monarch. The only dis advantage to the Job was given as "the loneliness, which grows"
 One applicant wrote: Seeing re- gently in one of our Texas papers an article in regards, to kings jobs in the South Sea Islands, would you kindly furnish me with the information in re- gards to Kings job in said. islands? What part of the islands are men wanted. what experience is necessary, if transportation Is furnished, what salary is paid, and under whom does the applicant work if awarded posi- ton. Is it a U. $. government position or is it local concern? Any other in. formation you can furnish will be ap- preciated."
 Qualification Stated.
 Another applicant states his qualif- cations in these words: My dear Consul; This story. appeals to the writer. and If there is anything to it would be pleased to get in touch with the makers of kings. Have had lots ot experience handling men and con- ducting business, and am sure could learn how to make copra. If you know anything about this. put me next and the favor will be appreciat- cd"

veal some new facts regarding thu little known events of the departed sovefeign's short reign. If found they will be given to Prof. Jamei Brestead, the great Egyptian scholar of the University of Chicago, for de- cipherment and interpretation.
 Opposite the aperture of Tutank. hamun's burial vault is a large paint ing of the kiAg drawn in the style oi the reign of Akhnaton, the heretic sovereign, with high sloping head and wearing helmet and a leopard skin. This has formed the subject of much study and speculation by How ard Carter and his American asso- ciates. There Is no indication that Tutankhamun adhered to Akhna- toms new faith--the worship Of Aten the god of the solar dics--nor any thing to controvert the known fact that he led Egypt back to the old faith--the worship of Amen, the great god of Thebes. Tutankhamnn is represented in the painting as wor- shipping Osiris, god of the life and resurrection, in the traditional man. nef.
 May Prevent Removal.
 The news from London that the influence of the British government may be exerted to prevent the re- moval of Tutankhamun's body from It's burial place to n museum was re- celved here. with satisfaction and re- lief by Egyptians and others who are averse to what they term "hody snatching" by foreign invaders. They declare there Is as little Justification for disturbing the ashes of the an- cient Pharaoh as there would be in removing the dead from one of the royal tosnbs in Westminster Abbey.
 In this connection it is pointed out that King Amenophis. who is in- tered a short distance from Tutank- hamun, specifically requested. by a written tablet in his sepulchral cham Der, that his ashes be not disturbed. The plea, however, was not observed until the British authorities in Egypt intervened and succeeded in having the kings body returned from the
