4 Belgian Egyptologist Praises Earl For Guarding Finds at Luxor Dr. Capart Advises Public to Let the Archeologists Work in Their Own Way. Tiuiew-New York Tim** coi»yrtelif. By f nr ran foment With the Earl of Carnarvon.) ; T.ONDO.N, March 14.—-Jean Capart, I the eminent Egyptologist and secre tary of the Musee Royal ilu Cinquan tenairc de Bruxelles, sends to the London Times the following observa tions on the camapign which has been directed against Lord Carnarvon during the past few weeks for de ciding to circulate his discoveries at the tomb of Tutankhamen to th# press of the world through the agency of the London Times. BY UR. Jl;\\ CAPART, Secretary of the Royal t inquanteaatre Museum of Brussels. LUXOR. March 14. —Tutankhamen was of the opinion that the tongue was botti the best and worst thing in the world. Had he lived in our days what would he have said of the press? Such was my reflection while read ing in the papers the other day ar ticles published against Lord Carnar von. According to certain people, the ♦iUestion which is now being raised is most important, it concerns the sacred rights of the press, tts l«n --prescriptable duties toward the pub lic. No obstacle whatever must he allowed to Intervene between exam ination of the Pharaonic treasures and the immediate distribution of the news to all papers. If Lord Car narvon does not give way, if he does not cancel the agreement with the London Times, the Kgyptian govern ment must intervene and the conces sion must be declared forfeit! Egyptians Have Control. One would almost think one were dreaming when one reads such things. Let us elucidate the discus sion by reducing it to its essential elements. There are in Egypt—an tiquities laws and an antiquities service. The government grants the right to excavate the ancient sites only under strict conditions, and one would like to see the same system applied to all European countries •where archeological work is often abandoned to plunders. And to ob tain authority to excavate moral and scientific guarantees must be fur nished. Lord Carnarvon secured a concession to excavate in the valley RENT YOUR PIANO PRQNS ? mo G J EST. 1679 >r ■■■ ~i~i iM.ii.liTi iC j~if~i 1 ■■■■7TT Graduate Eyes Examined "McCormick Medical i College Glasses Fitted Dr. CLAUDE S.

As long as his excavations continue he has an evi dent right to prohibit access to his work to every one except those agents. At this very moment in cer tain parts of the Karnak Temple, with which Lord Carnarvon has nothing to do. there are placards forbidding the public to approach the tents where clearances and restoration work are in progress. At the end of each ex cavation season the holder of a con cession is under an obligation to submit to the antiquities service a summary report of the work achiev ed. the objects discovered are then submitted without exception to the antiquities service. I do not believe that the concession can entail any other obligation. Has Cunarvea Failed f Now, has Lord Caruavon failed in any of his duties during his work at the tomb of Tutankhamen? On the contrary, since the very outset he has done much more than was iucumbeut on him, for in view of the supreme interest residing in his discovery he has given information to the public day by day through the intermediary of the greatest newspaper in the world. It is here it appears that the matter becomes thorny. It constitutes a violation of the rights of the public! Do you not agree that one ought to start a campaign against the annoy ing invention of patents and to for bid writers to reserve for one editor, to the exclusion of all others, the right to publish their works? Had Carnarvon succeeded, like so many excavators, in concealing his great discovery for some months from the public; had he then published It m volume, produced at great expense by one London house, would his ac tion have roused criticism? It is interesting in this connection to recall certain great finds of JCgyp tlan antiquities which have not re iTCLEAFTcOMPLEXION Ruddy Cheeks—Sparkling Eye*— Most Women Can Have Says Dr. Edwarda. a Well-Known Ohio Physician Dr. F.

About forty years ago the Kgyptian Antiquities Service had the extraordinary good fortune to vn caver at Delle Medina the family tomb of a personage named bit Nadjem. Even now his is ene of the beet by reason of the beauty of its paintings. The tomb, closed by its old door of carved and painted wood, contained numerous coffins, mum mies, funerary sledges, furniture and statuettes, Teesb Was Marveleaa. It was altogether marvelous and of unique interest. AH these pieces are unfortunately no longer to be found in the Cairo Museum. Seme have found their way to the Berlin Mu seum and to America A Spaniard named Tona gave a rapid and incor rect description in a pamphlet pub lished at Madrid, of which the annals of the antiquities service gave trans iated extracts a few years ago. Be yond that there is on record nothing regarding this marvelous discovery. Scarcely twenty years ago Prof. Schiaparelli found in the same part of the Theban necropolis the tomb of the architect Cha and of his wife Marit. In the Turbin Museum can be seen wonderful objects taken out of this sepulcher which has produced so many unique objects, as, for example, embroidered ornaments and cande labra.

Ten years ago German men of science who were clearing Tel-el- Amarna made a unique discovery of the house of the sculptors of Thothmes, in the studio of which still remained studies, sketches and fin ished works. Nothing, or scarcely anything was made public at tbe time of the discovery, which was first described in a report distributed solely to members of the Dsutsche orlentgesolUichaft. From time to time one sees In technical reviews or art albums some documents qf Impor tance which show that this discovery has completely upset our knowledge • of Egyptian sculpture. I could quote many more analogous examples. Why this time so much noise, so much shouting, so much tumult? From the Egyptian point of view the antlquitiee service would appear to exercise complete control over the progress of the discovery, i The work is being carried on by men of tried competence with aselstanoe, 1 I would almost say under the Control, i of scholars belonging to several na tionalities. and photographs have been taken by experts giving, with an ex , actltude which has never before been ' achleve«|. a minute Inventory of the find- Nothing can he destroyed, nothing can go astray, without leav ing formidable witnesses of indis putable value.
