(By The Associated Press)
Washington, July 24. - Suits .in
which the Federal government is the
defendant, in the Court of Claims,
reached a new high record yesterday

when the aggregate of claims showed
a total of $1,602,000,000. More than
2,900 cases are awaiting considera-
tion of the court which now is in re-
cess until early fall.
- Income tax cases are conspicuous
on the court's docket. Many taxpayers
who have remitted to the government
under protest now are going into the
Court of Claims to get back alleged
overpayments.
Caire, July 24.-The court has re-
fused the appeal of the eight men
who in June were sentenced to death
for the assassination of Sir Lee Stack,
Sirdar, last November.

Dr. Harvey Howard, '04, chief of the
department of pothalmology at Peking
Union Medical college, who was re-
cently captured by Chinese bandits inj
the Sungari river district of Manchu-
ria, is still being held and no word
has been had from him. His brother,
George C. Howard, ex-'06L4, is now
visiting in Ann Arbor as the guest of
Charles A.Sink, of the School of Mus-
ic. He is enroute to Los Angeles, Cal.,
with his family.
Mr. Hward - is cnstantly in com-
municatlon with the Department of
State in Washington, but no definite
word has been received concerning his
brother. He believes that he will come
safely and that the state department
will do everything to protect his in-
terests. The knowledge which Dr.
Howard has of the Chinese language
and his many years of experience
there will aid him materially in his
present predicament.
Dr. Howard graduated from the Un-
iversity of Michigan in 1904. He wasI
prominent in campus activities, was
particularly interested in athletics,
and was a charter member of Acacia
fraternity.
From here he went to the Univer ity
of Pennsylvania, getting his medical
degree there in 1908. Latr he obtained

The riddle concerns why and wh4
the early Egyptians abandoned the

to the abandonment of the canal sy

country, and covered over with a great
mound of debris and wind blown sand,
Karanis is one of the few sites which
have survived the ravages of time.
This site was chosen as one of
three, at which the University expedi-
tion to the Near East is working, for
two reasons. There were evidences
that the ruins there were preserved
better than on many Egyptian sites.
In the second place diggings by the
natives over the past period of years
have brought to light such a number
of papyri and objects' of historical
worth that systematic investigation
seemed promising.
Investigation, Professor Boak con-
tinued, has brought to light the fact
that the mound has been the site of
three successive cities. From the na-
ture of the case it has been necessary
to study the history of these cities in
reverse order. After careful study of
the uppermost ruins,-the latest in
point of time,-had been made, contin-
ued excavation has made possible the
examination of the two lower ruins.
These cities are supposed to have been
in existence in the fourth and fifth
centuries A.D., the late second and
early third centuries A. D., and the
second and third centuries B.C., re-
spectively.
Professor Boak said that excava-
tion has reclaimed many objects, in-
teresting for the information they give
of the home life of the people, and of
the agricultural and industrial meth-
ods used in early times.
