quire careful polishing, as will much
of the Kings regalia, before their full
briliiance is apparent.
Although the market value Of Tut

daries and goldsmiths of the brilliant
court educated in the school of Telel-

1t is emphasized to me that stress

artistic value of the contents of the
sarcophagus, rather than on the ma
terial wealth in gold and jewels, al
though a great quantity of gold is
used in the regalia, and the King him
self lay wrapped in sheets of it.
Such work has never come down
from antiquity before, excepting a
few scattered gems of other Pharaohs,
now in the Cairo Museum. Summing
up the impressions of the last two
days, a qualified observer said last
night that the contents of the ante

on their discovery, were all second

first made.
Tut-ankh-Amen's embalming, it was
found yesterday afternoon, had not
been done so as TO permit the mummy

through the bandages that it caused
them to adhere to the body, and they
have to be cut away in chunks, an op-
Grafton of supreme delicacy if injury

All previous arguments to the effect
that the body would not be denuded
of its last coverings and that the scien-

when it was discovered that many
jewels were sewn into the mummy

This attitude explains my reception

lad no business to come. Then l was
advised that l had better go back to
Cairo and ask the Press Bureau for
the communique to be issued tomor-
row or Saturday or Sunday.
Howard Carter and his photog-
rapher, Harry Burton Of the Metro
politan Museum, are in no way re-
sponsible for these conditions, al
though, of course. they are unable,
if they wish to continue their marvel
louS work, to make or indorSe any
complaints regarding their treatment.
The above personal depression eX-
plains the impossibility of describing
precisely the royal regalia and state
robes of the dead Pharaoh at present.
The wealth of bracelets, jewel-cov
cred clothes and the contents of royal
jewel chests Sewed into the mummy
clothing left the eXcaVatorS and spec
tatorS at last blase, as these objects

LINE TO ANNAPOLIS
Service From Washington
Awaits Two Permits and
New Highway.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, June s25.-The Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Elec-
trio Railroad Co. stands ready to in
augurate a de luxe passenger motor
bus service over the Defense high
way between Washington and Annap-
oils if granted permission by the PUP
lie Service commissions of Maryland
and the District of Columbia.
President Doyle of the W.. B. and
A. has been planning the installation
Of such service for months. Creation
Of the Defense highway made such
move necessary. The new highway.
to be completed in 1927. will be II
miles shorter than at present and will
be some eight miles shorter than the
tracks Of the w, B. and A. 1t had
been the intention of the W.. b. and
A. to delay installation Of the bus
service, however, until the new high
way was thrown open to traffic. AS
matters stand. the proposed line will
operate over about 10 miles of COM
pleted road and some 612 miles of
county road which will not be COM
pleted for two years.
Appeals to ID. c. Commissioners.
In reply to an inquiry from the Dis
trict Commissioners in Washington as
to whether there was objection to
granting a permit to the Washington
Motor Coach Co. to operate between
the Nations Capital and the capital
of Maryland. President Doyle Of the
w. B. and A. said:
We therefore respectfully submit
that 1t is unfair to permit notorious
competition with a company which
has a substantial investment for the
purpose Of furnishing transportation
to the public
IF, through the cooperation of
your body with the Public Service
Commission of Maryland, our COM
pany would be granted an exclusive
franchise for such bus operation as
will properly serve the public between
the points mentioned. we stand ready
to make the necessary application, and
upon being granted such permit we
will place the service in effect"
Atlantic City Line Forecast.
Notorious service between Wash
ington and Atlantic City is forecast
by the application of Leon Arnold of
Washington to the Public Service
Commission for six permit blanks for
busses on such a line. This is the
latest inquiry of more than a score
to come to the commission concerning
the possibility Of interstate buses. But
no busses have started running, de
spite the fact that interstate operation
has been possibility for several
months.
The projects planned between Bal
timore and Washington are still hang
ing fire. The possibilities for unlimited
competition have scared off prospec-
tive investors. it is said.
