PHILADELPHIA, January ga
mammoth death-pit in which the bodies
of As victims, sacrificed in accordance
with ancient Sumerian burial rites, were
found amid an amazing wealth of gold,
silver and semi-precious stones, has
been discovered in Ur of the Chaldees,
home of Abraham, by the joint archeo-
logical expedition of the University of
Pennsylvania Museum and the British
Museum, it was announced yesterday.
The death-pit is larger than any
found heretofore in the 5.O0O-year-old
cemetery at Ur, and although it has
been only partly cleared 1t already has
yielded "a gold head-dresses, inlaid
pendants, wreaths and hair-ribbons.
many silver combs" and other orna-
ments according to report from c.
Leonard Woolley, director of the ex-
petition.
Three harps of unusual design and
pair of statues of rams which are
made of gold silver, white shell and
lapls lazuli also were found. These
statues were described as two of the
most remarkable objects of antiquity
that Sumeria has yet produced"
In reporting the discovery of the
death-pit, Mr.. Woolley said that the
pit should be the introduction to an
actual tomb and that the workers now
were digging down from the modern
surface in the hope of finding tomb
beneath it
THE rim of very large copper YES
sci was the first thing to be found"
said the report. Another vessel ap-
peared next to it, and then came the
black stain of decayed wood. Very
careful clearing here laid bare the per-
feet impression of the wheels of a
wagon, although the wagon itself had
long since disappeared.
I'm front of the impression lay the
skeletons of two asses and a groom,
and among the bones could be seen the
line OF silver and lapis lazuli beads
which had decorated the reins. It
was just such wagon as we found In
the grave of King of Ur last season,
After penetrating further we found
the skeletons of other animals, includ-
ing sheep, a collection of copper vases
and weapons and the bones of a man.
Here was novel feature. The
bodies of the victim and the offerings
had been placed in the grave-pit, earth
had been heaped above them and

SUGAR BYPRODUCTS
TARIFF PLEAS HEARD
Protest Against Revision of Black
strap Molasses Duty Is Made
by Mill Official.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Having heard arguments for proposed
changes in the sugar tariff, the House
ways and means committee turned to
sugar byproducts today and heard first
a protest against any revision OF the
duty on blackstrap molaSseS.
The protest came from j. H. Caldwell,
vice president of the Ralston Purina
Mills. ST. Louis, who said that of TO-
100000 tons of feed produced by the
mixed feed industry 100000 tons con-
tain blackStrap molasses and that the
United States produces less than one
twelfth of the molasses required for
such feed Any tariff increase, he said,
would affect every farmer and feeder
because of keen competition and would
restrict the growing of alfalfa and al
falfa meal.
AS did Caldwell, John L. Craig of
Philadelphia, an importer, favored re-
writing of the rnolasses section to pre-
vent manipulation of the product to es-
cape 1-6 of cent duty per gallon. The
duty now ranges from 1-6 to IL of a
cent per gallon. Craig said imported
blackstrap did not come in competition
with domestic products. The imported
product, he explained, is made from
cane sugar while the American is
manufactured from beet sugar, which
he contended was unfit for feeding
because of its chemical content.

CHICAGO. January 22-Police sweep
ings-the 1000 men and women arrested
in a crook cleanup without postwar
precedent-were being sifted today by
police, prosecutors and the courts.
Analysis of the results Of the raids
were far from complete. for every jail
in the city was crowded and the task
of making a complete check was nee
eSsarily slow. Courts, however. were
cooperating, habeas corpus petitions
being temporarily denied in every case
where police officials requested more
time for investigation.
Trials of more than 5000 of those ar
rested were started today, the cases be-
ing distributed among the various police
courts, charges in most cases being dis
orderly conduct or vagrancy.
More cleanup drives, as sudden and
as thorough as that which had filled the
jails today. are to follow Deputy Com
missioner Siege said. Even as the check
of prisoners was progressing early today,
raiders entered the Ambassador Club on
the near North Side, and arrested
Daniel Barone, owner. on charges of
gambling and possessing liquor One
hundred guests, many from nearby Gold
Coast addresses, were permitted to leave.

BOOK REVIEW
Modesto
 By G. B. Stern

Arnold Bennett once said that no man could write more than one big book, which was true in his case; as while many of his later books are ad- mirable and most of them readable, not one is in the class with his master piece, "Old Wives Tales"
 Gertrude Stern has gone him one better as she has given us two big books, 'The Matriaeh" and "A Deputy Was King" but like his, her other books, it must be confessed, fall far below the standard she set for herself.
 Of the lesser books, her latest Modesto" is the best It is light, frothy, frivolous, and full of humor; you feel you must finish 1t before you lay 1t down, just to see what happens.
 The four principle characters, the young Englishman, Laurence Terrier; Belmont, his mother; Nicholas Lepry, the actor; and the ostensible heroine, Modesto, the Italian peasant girl, are all vividly drawn.
 The background, particularly in Italy, is a work of art; you feel the hot sun beating down on your head, see the blue sky, the mule paths, olive trees, vineyards or the hillsides and all the rest. It has of course been done many times before, but never bet ter. To attempt to tell how the mar riage of the rich and very young Eng lishman, to the vain ambitious peasant girl promises at first to be dire fail ure. and then blossoms into a perfect union would we a mistake. G. B. Stern has done it so we'll, you simply must read it for yourself.
 While Modesto is given the center of the stage most of the time. Belmont Terrier, the mother of Laurence, with her fascinating personality and the suggestion of a secret in her life, s the one who interests you. Your curiosity s conquered in regard to her relation to Nick; and the eleverest jests of the book are the subtle con- versations between them; when so little is said and SO much indicated
 Nick Is rather inscrutable and hard to understand, but when the crisis comes he is the one who unravels the tangle and brings peace to the troubled soul of the simple nindle Laurie.
 The way the author brings the Rak- onitz family into many of her stories is interesting; in this book at least one would not expect to find them but they are here. The last scene, the grand fiesta to celebrate the wedding anniversary of Lorenzo and Modesto is wonderfully we'll done. It gives such fine picture of Italian peasant life, and could only have been written by one who knows and loves Italy like Gertrude Stern.
