Streets in New York were turned

When the sleet storm was at its

the barges as Whey drifted helpiessly

possible for tugs to tow them back

LONDON, December 27.-The Amer

them from some of the parts they
play and from the lines put into their

we are not an emotional people. AS for
English and American actresses, can
only say that at the top of the tree in
either country will be found about the
same degree of beauty, talen and eX-

"SEvEN SLEEPERS'
CATACOMBS FOUND
Resumption of Excavations
at Ephesus Brings
Tombs to Light.
By the Assoc; ted Press.

By the Assoc; ted Press
SMYRNA, Asia Minor, December
27.-Resumption of the excavations
at Ephesus, interrupted for number
of years, has finally brought to light
the long sought catacomDs OF tue
early Christian martyrs known as
THE Seven Sleepers OF Ephesus.
The systematic search for presum-
able antiquities in this part Of Asia
Minor was taken up last Fall by the
Museum Of Smyrna with the assist
ance of Profs. Keil, Theuner and Mlit-
ner of Vienna and Prof. Adolf Delss-
man. theological historian at the Uni
versity of Berlin.
After the workmen had cleared
away great piles of debris and stones
on the rugged slopes of the burial
GROUND of Ephesus, a vast compound
OF ancient Christian culture and the
adjoining tombs of the seven sleepers
were disclosed.
The tombs contained many lamps
of manifold designs, among which
were several specimens of fine sculp-
tural art with attractive representa-
tions of antique and early Christian
scenes, all bearing the monogram OF
Christ.
According to legend. seven Chris
tian youths about $50 A. D., hid them
selves from pursuit in a cave. Their
hiding place was discovered and the
entrance blocked The martyrs then
fell asleep. Nearly 200 years later a
herdsman discovered the cave and
letting in light awolSe the inmates.
The Emperor The odosius II, hearing
of this phenomenon, hastened to the
spot in time to hear from the martyrs
that God had wrought this marvel to
confirm the belief in the resurrection
of the dead. After having delivered
their messages, the martyrs again fell
asleep.
