NE WYORK, Feb. 17. (Ily Associ
ated Press). Tho tomb of Pharaoh
Tutenkhamun, opened by explorers
yesterday in tho valley of the kings
near Luxor Is by far the richest trea
sure trove ever uncovered In the
necropolis of ancient Thebes, and In
all likelihood is the richest that ever
will be discovered, Ambrose Lansing,
acting curator of the Metropolitan
museum of art, asserted today.
Tombs of virtually all tho early
rulers of Egypt have been accounted
for, most of thorn thoroughly looted
by native grave robbers, said Mr. Lan
sing. He has spent much timo him
self with Metroolitan expeditions,
delving in the old burial places.
"There are only two or three royal
tombs left to look for," he said, "and
they are those of losRer kings for
Instance, those of Semonkhare, who

an equally short timo nftor Tntcnkha
muh's death.
"All the others have boen opened, a
few by archaeologists, but the most of
them by vanadals, who loll nothing of
Importance behind them.
"Royal furniture, garments, chariots
ornaments and works of art of rare
beauty and exquisite workmanship al
ready have ly;cn found in unprece
dented quantities In the outer cham
ber of Tutenkhamun's tomb. Tho
funerary equipment, much of it heav
ily encrusted with gold and semi
precious stones, is valued at millions
of dollars.
"lint treasures of greater valuo in
the' eyes of the Egyptologists bits of
historical data of the era antedating
Christ by thirteen nnd a half centur
ies are hoped for when tho hiero
glyphic Inscriptions, within the tomb
itself have been translated.
"One of the most fascinating theor
ies the records In tho tomb may con
firm or explore is that advanced by
Arthur Welgal, former Inspector gen
eral of antiquities to the Egyptian
government and one of tho best

ND1CTED POR
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Feb. 7. Dr. LouIb
L. Jacobs, physician at Camp Kearny
was arrested by county offlcerB this
morning under an indictment returned
yesterday afternoon by the grand jury
charging him with having murdered
Frltzl Mann, pretty Snn Diego dancer,
whose body was found on the bench
at Torrey Pines, four weeks ago.
Dr. Jacobs had been held In custody
for a time, following discovery of the
body nnd evidences of murder, but
was released on habeas corpus pro
ceedings with tho district attorney's
office admitting thnt insufficient evi
dence was had at that time to hold
him longor.
Now cvtdonco Is said to havo been
proHentod before the grand jury re
sulting in return of an Indictment lute
yoBterday. Tho nnture of this evi
dence was not revealed by the author
ities today.
The arrest of Dr. Jacobs took place
at the Camp Kearny hospital this fore
noon and was made by County Detec
tive Frank Wislcr and Deputy Sheriff
Oliver Sexton. Major Harry Colin, In
charge at the hospital, received the
civil officers at headquarters and
rondlly agreed to removal of the phy
sician under tho grand jury indict
ment Dr. Jacobs declined to make .a Btate
nicnt regarding his connection with
tho case but stated one probably
would be lBsued after a conference
with his attorney.
Dr. Jacobs' first entrance Into Hie
mystery of Frltzl Mann's death came
when bo voluntarily appeared at the
office of tho chief of police and told
Chief Patrick that he had known Miss
Mann for some time and that he had
boen with her on an automobile ride
a few nights before her death. He
said that on that account she-confided
to him sho was in a delicate condition
and asked him to assist her but he de
clined. Subsequent Investigations, ns re
vealed by tho authorities, disclosed
much correspondence with tho doctor
who It was declared, had been aware
of her condition for some time and
had made plans with her regarding an
operation.
It has boen established in the Inves
tigations of tho death niyBtery that
Miss Munn nnd a male companion oc
cupied one of the lllue Sea cottngoB
at La Jolln i'or a time on Sunday night
