IDELVING DEEPER INTO
 TOMB OF OLD KING TUT
Carter Today Continues Preparations for Opening of tine Immense
 Outer Shrine.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Luxor, Egypt, Jan. 2.-After two days of terruption-visiting day on Monday and the weekly holiday yes- terday work on King Tutankha- mems tomb was resumed this morn- ing when Howard Carter continued his preparations for dismantling tho outer chrine.
 A series of unforeseen incidents, such as the immense weight of the canopy lid and the fragile condition of the pail. have tended greatly to protract the task and to disorganize the program of the excavators. It was originally hoped to reach and open the sarcophagus eff one was found) by. the middle of this month, but unless the sarcophagus Is discov- cred immediately on opening the sec- ond shrine, there is little hope that this object will be attained on sched- uled time. The second shrine is so large that it may well contain two or three inner caskets enclosing the sar- cophagus itself.
 Of the many well known people now beginning to arrive in Cairo. several are expected in Luxor this month. Henri De Ligne, now in Cairo, will probably proceed to this place, while Arthur of Connaught, who arrives in Cairo on Sunday. is also likely to pay Luxor brief visit.

SALARY COMMITTEE

Employees of the city have adopted the practice of making requests for salary increases. They are not to be blamed for taking this action, as there have been instances where the com pensation of an employee has remain cd the same year after year merely because no attention was called to the inadcquacy Of such pay. As this GUS tom has flourished there has come to members Of the common council, without their realizing it perhaps, a feeling that as no request for d salary increase was made by the incumbent of the office, no increase was due.
 This attitude was shown at a recent meeting of the council when u resolu- ton was introduced asking the salary committee to consider all salaries, whether there had been requests from all for an increase or not. Such re- solution was quito unnecessary, but il has served a purpose. It has called the situation to the attention Of mem bers of the common council, and it has moved members of the salary committee to stata unofficially and properly, that il is the duty of the committee 10 do the very thing called for by this resolution, namely, to con sidcr all salaries annually, whether re- quests have been made for increases or not. This is the attitude of the chair man of the committee, and this is the correct attitude. The city has on its payroll today at least one head of a department who recommended, at the December meeting Of the council, in- crcusrs in his department but who rofrainod from seeking an increase for himself. Disrcgarding the deserts of this official entirely, and not indica- ting belief as to whether or not he deserves an increase but leaving that entirely to the salary committee and the council, it may be seen that it is quite possible a city might have an official who would refrain from "re- commonding' an increase for himself. There was the case Of another official who. having requested an increase years ago and having been refused, did not ask for an increase again but did his work well, remaining under paid until very recently
 lt is well that the salary committee members have made it plain that they consider it the committees duty to go over salaries annually and make such adjustment as fl deems proper. No one planes officials for bringing the mat ter of their salaries to the attention Of the committee. But New Britain people do not want those officials ior- gotten who. deserving of evidence oI appreciation as they are. refrain from making such requests owing to a sense or the possible impropriety of pleadins their own eases.

1t may have been a couple OF hours
later, when Capt. Blood, as spruce and
cool as If he had just como from a
levee, stepped upon the quarterback
Of the Victorieuse, to confront M. de
Rivarol, still in bedgown' and night
cap.
II have to report, NJ. le Baron, that
we are in possession of the fort on
Boca Chica. The standard OF France
is flying from what remains of Its
tower. and, the way into the outer
harbour Is. open. to your fleet,
NJ. de RivaroI was compelled. to
swallow his fury, though it choked
him. The juhilation among hts off,
GERS had been such that he could not
continue as he had begun. Yet his
eyes were maleyolent, his face pale
with anger.
''You are fortunate, NJ. Blood, that
you succeeded" he said. 1T would
have gone very i'll with you had you
failed. Another time be 30 good as
to await, my orders, lest you should

Blood smiled with a flash of white
teeth, and bowed.
Il shall be glad of your orders now,
general, for pursuing our advantage
You realize that speed In striking is
the first essential"
Rivarol was left gaping a moment.
Absorbed in his ridiculous anger, he
had considered nothing. But he made
quick recovery. "To my cabin, If
you please" he commanded per-
emptorily, and was turning to lead
the way, when Blood arrested him.

stored with ammunition and light

The baron went back to his flag
ship an infuriated, but by no means
wiser man. Wisdom-not even the
pungent wisdom experience thrusts
upon usy-is not for such as N. de
Rivarol. His anger embraced all
things, but focused chiefly upon
Capt. Blood. In some warped process
of reasoning he held the buccaneer
chiefly responsible for this misad-
venture. He went to bed considering
furiously what he should say to
Capt. Blood upon the morrow.
He was awakened at dawn by the
rolling thunder of guns. Emerging
upon the poop in nightcap and slip
pers, he beheld a sight that increased
his unreasonable and unreasoninG
fury. The four buccaneer ships un-
der canvas were going through ex-
traordinary versNhalf mile off
the Boca Chica and little more than
half. a mile away from the remainder
Of the fleet, and from their fianks
flame and smoke were belching each
time they swung broadside to the
great round fort that guarded that
narrow entrance. The fort was re-
turning the fire vigorously and vi
ciously. But the buccaneers timed
their broadsides with extraordinary
Judgment to catch the defending ord
nance reloading: then rs they drew
the Spaniards' fire, they swung away
again, not only taking care to be
ever moving targets, but. further, to
present no more than bow or stern to
the fort, their masts in line. when
the heaviest cannodades were to be
expected.
Gibberihg and cursing, M. de Ri
varol stood there and watched this
action. SO presumptuously under
taken by Blood on his own RESPONSE
bility. The officers Of the Victorieuse
crowded roNpd him. but it was not
until NJ de Cussy came to join the
group that he opened the sluices Of
his rage. And NJ. de Cussy himself
invited the deluge that now caught
him. He had come up rubbing his
hands and taking a proper satisfac
ton in the energy of the men whom
he had enlisted.
aha, M. de Rivarol." he laughed.
Evening star., 1924-12-02

"He understands his business, eh,
this Capt. Blood. He'll plant the
lilies Of France on that fort before
breakfast"
The baron swung upon him snarl-
ing. "He understands his business
oh? His business, let me tell you.
M de Cussy, is to obey my orders

I'll deal with him for his damned

"Justified It! All, parbleu! Can q
soldier ever Justify acting without
orders?" He raved on furiously. his
j officers supporting him out Of their
detestatfon Of Capt. Blood.
Meanwhile the fight went merrily
on. The fort was suffering badly
Yet for all their maneuvering the
