Senor DR.. Daniel F. r. de la Borbolla
OF the staff Of the National Museum of
the treasures, utilizing slides and movies
to point out the progress of the work
and its significance. He termed the COL

Monte Alban
Two members Of the Metropolitan
police force are in attendance at the
exhibit to guard the valuable treasures,
which came to Washington upon invi-
tation of George Washington University
and the Carnegie Institute of Washing
ton. The region in which the treasures
were located was the center of one of
the most advanced cultures of pre-Co-

the Maya, in the region to the south
and east Of the Isthmus of Tehuante-
pee, including territory now part Of the
Central American republics. and the

DR.. Borbolla explained.
Perfect Workmanship"
THE treasures unearthed at Monte
Alban show a perfection of workman
ship and an eXquisiteness of detail COM
parable to the work OF craftsmen of any
age. Although the time of the burial
of the jewels cannot be placed exactly,
it is believed, judging by their style,
that it could not have been later than
the fifteenth century. In addition to
the esthetic value of the jewels, they
reveal that centuries of civilization and
long phases of culture must have passed
before a people could have attained
such mastery of art as is shown in this
exhibition. The archaeological investi-
cations which are now being conducted
in Mexico are expected to make known
the secrets Of the advanced civilization
of these early peoples of America"
Gold and silver ornaments and OBJ
jects, objects of jade and turquoise
beads, pearls, mosaic and other tokens
are included in the exhibit.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 31.-Ofcial cir
cles expect a decisive turn this week
IN negotiations of the British war
debts mission at Washington.
With the treasury and the Bank of
England maintaining their usual off,
cial silence, most other financial
authorities are busy explaining how
puzzled they are by President Roose-
velt's program.
Some newspapers jumped today to
the without any authorita-
tive reason--that debt negotiations
might be abandoned soon.
Exactly the opposite may prove true
should Sir Frederick Leithross' con-
ferences at Washington prove to have
furthered Anglo-American collabora-
ton. Financial authorities here see no
reason why the debt negotiations should
not be continued under such circum-
stances.
When the cabinet meets late this
week, it is expected that Sir Frederick
will have communicated the American
Presidents views,
The British governments position is
that the whole debt negotiations are
in Mr.. Roosevelt's hands. If the Pres
ident wants them continued, the Brit
ish mission will stay in Washington.
II Mr.. Roosevelt is too busy with
domestic and financial problems. he
likely will indicate this to the mission
and then it will be up to the cabinet
to decide what to do about the general
debt policy and, Incidentally, the De-
cember IS payment.

M'KEE ACCUSED
OF USING OFFICE
Seabury Says He Took Ad.
vantage of AIdermanic Pest
for Private Advantage.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October 31.-The ac-
cusation that Joseph v. Mckee, now
seeking the mayors chair, used his off,
cial position as president Of the Board
was tossed into the city campaign to-
day by Samuel Seabury.
The fusion leader made this charge
while hammering away at McKee's S con-
nections with the city administration
prior to the revelations Of the Hofstad-
ter committee city graft investigations,
which Seabury prosecuted.
He made the basis of his charge a
suppressed affidavit in the investiga-
ton by Francis T. McEneny, whom Nc
Kee discharged as chief examiner of
the Board of Aldermen and later REIN
stated The reason for this reinstate-
ment has been made talking point
of the campaign by Seabury.
Says Seabury Rejected Statement.
Seabury's accusation, which he said
was one phase of the McEneny afti-
davit. was that Mckee incorporated a
realty company, acting as private at
torney, and then. as member OF the
city Board of Estimate, voted to grant
the company's application for change
in the grade of street f1anking Its
property.
Seabury said this city grant saved
expensive reconstruction of the COM
pany's coal yard in Brooklyn. One Of
the companys director, he added, was
McKee's private secretary.
Terming this accusation new IT,
rade from Judge Seabury," Mckee de-
clared he would not permit himself to
be deferred from what he considered to
be the issues of the campaign by per
Sonalities and vilifications."
Judge Seabury," he said "has at
tempted to introduce false and dis
credited statement that he himself
rejected in the legislative investigation
when offered by Senator McNaboe
(State Senator John j. McNaboe)
through whose associates in Tammany
Hall it was procured.
Charges Tammany Link.
HE knows that McEneny in signed
and attested affidavid withdrew every
word Of the earlier defamatory state
ment that had been procured for him.
49, His attempt to base campaign
charges on the McEneny statement is
at par with LaGuardias attempt to
attribute the Willard suicide to me-"
Seabury made public a photostatic
copy of a certificate of incorporation
issued September II, 1880, to the Hart
Place Realty Corporation" which bore
the typewriter legend: Joseph V.
Mckee. attorney at law, 165 Broadway.
New York City,
The Fusion candidate, F'loTell0 II, Ia
Guardia, asserted in campaign speech
that "54 per cent of Mckee's local
ticket lis the Tann1any ticket
-Out of 65 candidates for alderman
on the Recovery ticket, IS are running
as regular Tammany candidates." he
said. Mr.. Mckee declares he has sew
cred connections with Tamany, but the
ugly fact remains that 81 per cent of
his local ticket is the Tammany ticket"
