automobile insurance was to be dls- cussed here today at conference between Wesley E. Monk, state ln- surance commissioner. and George A. Parker, registrar of motor vehi- clcs.

 Monk made it clear late yesterday that the public could expect no ma terial change in the new rates as tentatively fixed.
 It was stated that the increased rates were necessary largely because of fraudulent claims made on a wholesale basis.
 In this connection it was stated, | immediate steps are contemplated to effect the disbarment of certain law yers who, in the words of Governor Fuller, have found that the com- pulsorv insurance law lends itself ''to all kinds of bribery, chicanery and misma cement"

OLD INCAS RUINS FINALLY REACHED
Peruvian Expedition Finds
 Ancient Fortress

Lima, Peru, Aug. o1.-{P-The Peruvian flag has been hoisted over the fortress at Huaynapiccho, where the ancient warriors of the Inca em- plre looked down from their steep mountain retreat and beheld Fran CISCO P1zarro's handful of Spania rds conquer their land some hundreds of years ago.
 Although it is not known definite " whether the Spaniards ever suc- ceeded in penetrating the jung,es ana climbing the mountain to Huayna piccho it is not considered likely due to the undisturbed order m which the ruins have been found ms oelns true, then the white ma n for the first tir1e has set foot in this particular part of the Inca Atahual- pas vast domain.
 Huaynapiccho was discovered early this month by Peruvian scientific expedition which, having penetrated the iungles 10 Macchu- ficcho, discovered l6 years ago by an expedition headed by Senator Hira m Bingham of the United States. made study through binoculars of the surrounding territory.
 | One of the explorers. from The inca astronomical observatory of i lhtihuatana in the ruins of Macchu i plccho. turned his glasses on the summit of the towering Hueyna piccho mountain nearby. He per celved heretofore undiscovered ruins on the peak and promptly re- i ported his finding to the head of the expedition. organized by the prefect of the department of Cuzco. Attempts then were made to reach the ruins but it was found i'm possible to cross the intervcnine Nilcanota river and pierce the thick " entangled underbrush. much less scale the steep mountain.
 The expedition returned 10 Cuzco once the capital Of the Inca empire and now flourishing Peruvian city, and telegram was sent 10 President Agusto B. Lcguia. at Lima, advising him of the discovery.
 A new attempt to reach the ruins 1 was authorized and the expedition returned to Maccupiccho. Four of the explorers swam the Nilcanota and opened trail through the dense "llds to the base of the mountain. One of the party was bit ten by snake and could not pro- ceed, but the others pushed on to ind a wide stone stairway 400 wards long leading up tha steep incline.
 At the top of the staircase they l found the great old fortress where they promptly hoisted the Peruvian i flag. Outside the fortress lay the rulns of an evidently once thriving i city. There were big stone construc- tons, many platform dwellings characteristic of the Inca architec. 'nre. streets. alleys and other rem i nants of note. But all was covered by a thick wild growth which in the course of centuries had spread itself rampant over the town.
 When the expedition returned fol the second time to Cuzco anoth he, i telegraphic report was sent to Pres. ldent Leguia and now d new explor- alton party is being organized with the purpose of thoroughly examin. | ing the ruins
 The fortress and city have become known as Huaynapiccho because oi their location on the mountain b., that name.
