Impatient at the largess of praise re?
cently bestowed upon the Hoard of Al?
dermen bv Mavor Mitchel. President
McAneay and others. Wiliiam Bullock,
director of the Tammanv Bureau of
City Inquiry, made public yesterday
his own unfavorable opinion about the
citv fathers. It was conta'ned in a
htter to Mr. McAneny. and the main
point wa? that "the present Board of
Aldermen has abused one of it? greHt
?st power?, and the or.? which proba?
bly more than nnv other touches the
tiocket of the taxpayer.
"Since January 1, 1914," it contin?
ued, "the Board of Aldermen has ap?
proved the letung of city contracts
amounting to $1,130,500 without com?
petitive bidding. I am informed this
amount far exceeds the total for any
eighteen months since consolidation.
"Experience in the past," he ?ays.
"proved that opportunity to let con?
tracts without open bidding led to fa?
voritism and graft. By removirg con?
tracts totalling $1,130,500 from com?
petitive bidding the Board of Aldermen
in the last eighteen months to that
extent has opened the door to favorit?
ism and graft."
The purchase of automobiles fcr city
department?, which has bean the sub?
ject o? criticism in recent years, Mr.
Bullock says has been exempted by
the board in the case of a machine for
tho Water Commissioner, at $",075; the
Borough President of Brooklyn, at
$1.800; of The Bronx, at $2,200; of
Queens, at $2,000; of Richmond, at
$2,500, and for the Queens Park Com?
piler, at $3,000.
Speaking of the appropri?t i ?jn of
$808,010 in the budget for the F;r#Pre

he points out that in the list of con?
tracts exempted from competition are
two giving the Crokcr National Fire
Prevention Engineering Company $3,
000 for weekly inspections, drills, in?
struction, testing of hose standpipes
and extinguishers and other measures
for protection against fires. "What
does the $800,000-a-year Fire Preven?

Charities has been given a free hand
in paying out $60,000 for flour, and to
spend as he pleases 574,220 for fish,

Holiday Features in New
Calendar to Aid Trade
and Labor.
A new calendar has been planned by
a New York clergyman, the Rev. H. P.
Hame?, curate of All Angels' Episcopal
Church. He said yesterday tha* he has
received hearty indorsements here by
several influential ministers of the
proposed change. Christian forces
favor the move, he says, in the inter?
ests of labor, of trade and general
! world advance.
Mr. llames declared that he has
heard fmorahly from ?o many clergy?
men in Europe that he believes a cal?
endar shift may come into the negoti?
ations thut end the great war.
Among the features of this calendar
is one providing that all holidays come
on Mondays. This is in the interest of
labor. There can then be at frequent
? intervals in the year half of Satui
| day and then two day? of vacation.
, Another novelty, one that will be wel
; corned by trade, is that Easter is al
1 ways to fall on the third Sunday in
April. Tremendous difference obtain*
in trade whether Easter be early or
late.
A still more radical action is the ad?
dition of another month to the year.
j This newcomer foe? between June and
July, and is called "Holiday," although
Mr. Hamen said yesterday that ?ome
other lame might be substituted. Ih
i reason fer a new month is that th-;
i calender proposes that all months ?hall
I have twenty-eight days and be uniform.
There will, however, he one extra
I day each year, and two extra ones on
, leap years. These Mr. Harnes propose.!
to put in at the end of December and
to make them general holidays at>

AMERICAN DIGS UP
EGYPTIAN TEMPLE
One of Glories of Memphis
Excavated by Dr. Fisher,
of Philadelphia.
SCARABS, AMULETS
AND GOLD FOUND
Statues and Busts More than
Three Thousand Years Old
Brought to LiLght.
IB> ?n* J
Philadelphia. Aug. 1. ? The discovery
of a treat temple ut Memphis. ;..r;, pt,
belonging approximately to '.he. .
of Rameses II, is announced by the
University Museum, as a result of the
spring and summer explorations of,
Kckley B. Cox?, jr., of the fig]
expedition under the leadership of Dr.
Fisher, curator of the museum s Egyp?
tian section,
The find la considered of first im
portance and it is hoped, will prove
to be the beginning of further devlop
ments in the uncovering of the history
of Memphis, which was one of the
great cities of the world, probably the
greatest in the time of Rameses II.
more than three thousand years ago,
which is known to have been of great
importance lve thousand years ago and [
probably has a history running thous- ;
and?, of yearn behind that era.
The temple was silted over with mud
from the Nile and covered with sand
blown from the desert, so that nothing
remained of the glories which were so
prominent in the days of Herodotus
and which lasted until within a cen?
tury or two of the Christian era.
The discovery of the great temple,
to students of history, Is highly valu?
able, bearing out the glowing chron?
icles of the glory of the Egypt of
Herodotus. It forms another refuta?
tion of recent historians who have
accused him of inserting myths in his
writings.
When the digging began the capitals
of two columns of the great palace
were discovered. After one hundred
expert diggers had spent three months
in careful excavation a great hall of
columns was unearthed and the exca?
vations were then carried down to the
original ?oil.
The temple must originally have
been one of the glories of Egypt. In j
spite of the worl< of time, of sieges
and other destructions enough survives;
to show that it was a magnificent!
place. This temple in all its gorgeous- |
ness was described by Herodotus. A
large inscription indicates that it may
possibly be the temple of Set II, al?
though at first it was supposed to
have been erected by Menephtah, son
of Rameses II
Some four thousand specimens were
recovered, small and large, some of
them of great archaeological im?
portance. The finds include scarabs,
amulets, gold and silver ornament?.,
'rings and objects, many ushabtis and
especially many moulds for making
these ushaftis, necklaces and jewels
The larger specimens include some
very fine statues, representing the
finest or nearly the finest in
Egyptian sculpture and several busts.
well carved in red sandstone, probablv
portraits.
There are many inscriptions on the
walls, the columns and the archit?
raves, which are yet to be deciphered.
A numher of eminent archaeologists I
have visited the site and have warmlv
congratulated Dr. Fisher on his re-1
markable discoveries, not only of the
great building, but of the thousands!
of art obiects, of which many will'
come to the University Museum for'
permanent exhibition.
Owing to the war excavation in
OEgypt has almost entirely stopped
except that bv the Eckley B. Coxe, jr.,
expedition, which has been vigorously ,
. ng its work and expects to con- ^
tinue.
