 Their predictions were similar to the unusual warning given Lord Carnarvon in connection with the excavation of the tomb of Tutan- khemen in the Egyptian valley of kings. Scientists scoffed at the idea that the spirits of ancient Gods would punish those who opened the Egyptian rulers tomb. But several of the most widely known members of the expedition died in accidents or unusual cir cumstances. The Monte Alban dis coveries are considered the most important ever made in America in tracing the civilization on the continent before the Spanish con- quest.

Newton D. Baker In Line For Presidency
 By His Statement
Former War Secretary Has Said Repeatedly He Was Not in Line, But His Dropping of League of Nations, Sends Him Into Race Willingly or Unwillingly
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER IJnstnxl Dwncc CfoH ro~vocvnnAovx

ONltc0 frcSS Stau OOrreSpOnOCut. Washington, Jan 27.-UP)- Chances of another Ohioan becom- ing president-or at least a presi- dential candidate-were regarded as better to-day with Newton D. Bakers personal elimination of the league of nations as a political issue in the presidential cam paign.
 His declaration met the ap- proval of democrats of various factions. Members of both parties regarded the statement as foresha- flowing a possible dark-horse can- didacy.
 Bakers statement was signifi- cant because some of his friends have felt that his belief in the league of nations might hamper them in advancing him as a com promise candidate. Baker had frankly reiterated his faith in the league.
 Lest he be misunderstood, Ba- ker in his latest statement pre- diets again that some day the United States will go into the league and ought to. But he says he would not, if he had the power. take the United Staets into it until an informed and con- vinced majority of the American people favors 1t.
 "I am not in favor of plank in the Sdemocratic platform urg- ing our joining the league" he said.
 So far as Baker is concerned. this is intended to disassociate the league from the coming presi- dential race. It meets the chief fear that opponents had raised against him.
 Baker said he was not candi- date for president. It is certain, however. that he would accept if nomination were rendered. Many Roosevelt democrats regard Wilson's secretary of war as the logical compromise. Roose- velt's friends claim he is within

 Many natives of pure Mixtecan and Zapotecan descent, were confident that the head of the expedition which opened the tomb of six Mix tecon chieftans would be bewitch- ed and doomed to death.
 Others claimed that the discov-
 cry of the six proud chieftans, buried perhaps for 500 years. would bring the economic saliva ton of residents of the state of Oaxaca. Oaxaca witch doctors claim that the spirit of Zaachila guards the tomb of the Chieftans. Alfonso Case. who disturbed the
