Exposition.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-Is Ur
of the Chaldees about to yield its
greatest archaeological treasure?
Archaeologists are hoping against
hope that it may happen.
The burial place of the great
King Dr. Engur who built the mag
nif1cent ziggurat at Or 4,3OO years
ago has been reached, but not
opened, by the joint archaeological
expedition from the British muse
UNI and the University Of Pennsyl-
vania museum.
A complex of brick buildings, long
buried in the earth, represents the
tombs Of three generations of kings
of the Golden Age of Ur, Ur-Engur,
his son Dungi, and his grandson
Bur- Sin, according to a report re-
ceived at the museum here from G.
Leonard Woolley, field Ndirector of
the expedition. The structures in
clude vaulted chambers and pass
ages, stairways and deep, brick-lined
pits.
Graves Escaped Enemies
TT is too much to hope that the
royal graves should have escaped
the notice of the enemies to whom
Ur SO often fell prey, although
until the last tomb has been opened
hope will persist" Woolley writes.
i is already determined beyond
reasonable doubt that King Bur-
Sins grave did fall into the hands
of the enemies of Ur. The long
vaulted room which is taken to be
his burial chamber has been reached
in the excavations and no more
was found in it than few scattered
bones.
Woolley's explanation IS that this
kings tomb was sought out and
plundered by the Elamintes, who
swept down from the Persian hills
and brought the Third Dynasty OF
Or to disastrous end.
Building Is Fine
Even if we do not find "a single
object, however" Woolley adds, eve
are amply rewarded for our exca-
vations. The actual tomb of Bur-
Sin is one of the finest monuments
of Ur, but even that tomb seems al
most insignificant with what has
been revealed in the early stages OF
the excavation of Dungi'S building,
cat the rear of the Dungi build
ing are two flights Of stairs leading
up to what was a high paved room,
and beneath the floor of this room
there lies g huge brick-lined pit
more than twenty feet deep, which
had been filled in with clean packed
SOIL
A bricked-up door and broad
stairs running down to long
vaulted passages lie ahead of the
excavators.
always, however, the great pit
remains the center of all conjec-
lures" Woolley states; land we are
anxious to learn what lies beyond
the stairs which run down to the
entrance of the vaults and now ter
inmate abruptly against the wall
of straight-cut earth"

AUTOS IN 1881
EXHIBIT STRESS
SPEED, POWER
SmoothneSs of Operation
Also Factor in All
New Models.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Speed and
slnoothness of operation are en-
phasized in exhibits at the thirty
FIRST annual automobile show which
opened at Grand Central palace
Today.
Approximately 800 models, in
GLIDING thirty-f1ve different makes
Of cars, are being shown.
In response to what. manufac-
turers consider a demand for great
er power and more ease of opera
ton, wheel-base lengths have been
increased and eight, twelve and
sixteen-cylinder cars are more pop
ular.
The effect has been carried into
body lines with the result that a
majority of the new models are
built closer to the ground and re-
fleet the airplane influence.
Gas Tanks Hidden
Radiator caps on many cars have
been concealed beneath the hood
and in several cases the gasoline
tanks are hidden.
Most of the new models have
been constructed with the idea that
croSs-country touring will maintain
its popularity.
Many manufacturers claim to
have eliminated body sway in their
cars, and the multi cylinder cars are
especially recommended for extend
ed trips. Road tests have proved, it
was said, that great speed with
comparative safety may be attained.
There is tendency to utilize SOM
Der colors. Pastel shades are popu-
lar, and green, black and brown
seem to be the most widely used.
Blue IS losing favor, but maroon IS
returning to vogue. Many models
employ solid color for body, mold
ing and tenders with a different COL
or for the wheels.
Better for Women

bent on shaping the operation of
cars to accommodate the women
drivers.
Electrical improvements make the
new models easy to operate, because
of the "f1nger-touch' steering wheel,
and a clutch that can be released by
a slight pressure of the toe. Wind
shield pillars are narrower and bet
ter vision is afforded the. driver.
Both drivers seats and the steering
arms are adjustable.
Balloon tires have lost none of
their popularity, and nlanufactur-
ers predict increased mileage from
those that have been placed on 1881
cars.

How the Railroads
Help the Motorist

The motorist has a friendly ally
in the railroads. They work for
him and serve him in many ways.
They carry steel and other RAJ"
materials, completed automobiles,
gasoline, oil, bodybuilding mate
rails and machinery.
They provide markers and other
warnings at grade crossings, and
they share in the cost Of separat-
ing grades.
Their taxes help to build and
keep up the public highways.
Finally, railway freight and
passenger traffic neither congests
nor wears out the highways. A
days loading of railway freight
and passengers, moving by high
way in 5-ton trucks and 3o-pas-
senger buses under normal traffic
conditions. would occupy at any
given moment approximately
$1,000 miles.
Constructive criticism and Sus-
gestions are invited.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The most
recent phase Of investigation of
political fraud and judicial irreg-
ularities in New York has CEN
tered on a particularly vicious sys-
tenn surrounding magistrates courts
the professional bondsmen, petty
grafters, crooked lawyers who take
advantage of the unfortunate, the
ignorant and the criminal who are
brought before the bar of justice.
Into this tangle of corruption
and fraud has gone Isidor j. Kresel,
an under sized man whose re-
lentless pounding and skillful,
sharp witted questioning have
given him an enviable record as
an investigator
Still more menacing TO some Of
the persons involved is the slim
figure of Chile Mapocha Acuna, a
sallow-faced little Latin American
whose career in New York as a
worker at odd jobs finally led to
a post on the outskirts of the Grim
inal world as stool pigeon"
Guarded by Police
Fearing the fate Of an underworld
'souealer," Acuna constantly is
guarded by six policemen.
Charges made by Acuna-and he
picked his men out of a line of
police officers involved eighteen
members of the police vice squad.
The system he described was one
Of framing" girls on vice charges.
With Acuna working as stool
pigeon for the police, he said he
found certain officers kept up a
high record of arrests by preying
on innocent girls who we're arrested
and then forced to pay money to
professional bondsmen to secure
their release from Jail.
The part Of the magistrates, If
any, in the system was placed under
investigation by Kresel Testimony

she was refused bail by the magis-
trate until she had paid a lawyer
to arrange the bond
Discharged by Court
Later she was discharged, the
Judge remarking that there was alb
solutely no evidence to support the
charge against her.
Two women victims also have
been witnesses against the police
men who we're brought to trial be-
fore a deputy police commissioner
after the evidence against them
had been revealed at the magis-
trates inquiry in the appellate di-
vision.
The women, Winifred Grayson
Sakwich and Mrs. Jennie Domzal-
ski Jappas, under questioning by
Kresel, said they were framed" by
policemen and also testified that
they were beaten and kicked. They
had difficulty in identifying the
policemen.
a Charges Were Denied
The charges were denied by the
accused police and the defense at
tempted to present testimony dam
aging the character of the two
women witnesses and Acuna.
The Investigations caused cir
culation of rumors that two, Inagis-
trates, Abraham RosenblutlN and
Louis B. Brodsky, would resign, but
the reports we're denied by Referee
J Samuel Seabury, who was named
by Governor Roosevelt to act in the
inquiry.
