RIFLES, AMMUNITION, AND a
AIRPLANES SOLD TO MEXICO

Washington.-Sale of 5000 En-
field rifles, 5000, 900 rounds of am
munition for the guns, and eight
D-H-4 surplus airplanes to the
Mexican government has been an
nounced by Secretary Weeks.
The transaction was completed
when word came by wire to Mexi-
can agents that the government
had transferred funds necessary to
make one-half of the payment in
cash, the balance to be paid with
in 80 days. The terms fixed by
Secretary Weeks were equivalent
to a cash transaction and were &C.
cepted by the Mexican govern
ment, paving the way for imme-
dlate delivery of the war NUM-
tions at the army depots where
they were stored.
Under the terms of the sale, the
war department will turn over the
rifles and ammunition at Fort Sam
Houston and Fort Bliss, while the
airpIanes will be delivered from
the depot at Fairfield, Ohio. The
Mexican government will make it's .
own arrangements for shipment to
the border. Orders were issued
at once for delivery of the mill
tary supplies to designated Mexi-
can agents.

PHAR0AH MUMMY FOUND
INTACT IN TOMB OF TUT
Remains of Tutenkhamen Rest Safely
in Mammoth Sealed Sarcophaaus
for Thirty Centuries

Luxor, Egypt.-With the discover.
of the colossal sarcophagus of Tuten
khamen inclosed in a nest of fou
wondrous shrines, the ques / I
whether the mortal remains of ths
pharoah lie in. this mortuary chape
has been decided. The sarcophagus
has remained intact through 30 cen
turtles, unviolated by the sacreligious
hands of tomb robbers.
Here was definite confirmation that
for the first time in history, the un-
violated sepulchre of king of ancient
Egypt had been discovered.
Here, in a coffin of craven stone of
workmanship rivaling the greatest
masterpieces, must undoubtedly lie, in
closed in magnificently decorated
mummy cases, the body of the king as
the priests laid him to rest, more than
5000 years ago.
The long-sought-for treasure of an
tiquity, carved from pinkish granite,
probably Assuan stone, lies within the
fourth casket of blazing gold-a casket
even more brilliant than the other
shrines enclosing the sarcophagus, its
doors covered with cartouches of the
dead pharaoh surrounding a figure of
the monarch
The sarcophagus is deliberately
carved and there is reason to believe
IT will prove to be Of even greater ar
tistic value than the pink sarcophagus
Of Harmahib, or the famous alabaster
coffin of Seti l., in the Soane museum
in London. Following up Thursdays
discovery of the fourth casket the
search was proceeded with, and, in the
presence of Professor Percy e. New
berry, the noted Psychologist, and the
other members of his staff. Howard
Carter, in charge Of the exploration,
unbolted the doors of the fourth
shrine, disclosing the sarcophagus, and
finally establishing the fact that the
last resting place of Tutankhamen.
Owing to the vast dimensions of the
outer canopy, which quite dwarfed the
of the sepulchral chamber,
the excavators came upon the sarco
phagus with some surprise. 1t was
enclosed in the fourth of nest of four
shrines, an arrangement different from
anything yet discovered. All the
shrines are profusely gilded, and the
fourth, like the preceding ones, is
decorated with cartouches
and the figure of the king.
Owing to the size of the sarcophagus
and the cramped dimensions of the
mortuary chamber, it probably will be
some time before the lid can be raised |
20 examine the contents, especially as
l preliminary to this would be the re-
noval, at least, of the roof of the sec
md, third and fourth shrines.
