Torrio, who was ready to flee the country with a fortune of £2,000,000 in United States Government securities, and who was captured yesterday, owed his downfall to the close co- ordination now existing between the Government departments. He had applied for a passport In Washington and booked a passage in the liner Empress of Australia, leav Fine Quebec the following Sunday for

MR
TR. HOWARD CARTER -archeologist and ex- plorer of Tutankhamen fame-wants to find the tomb of Alexander the Great, but the expedition will be costly
He said to a press representa- tive in, London:--
"If I should once make an impor tant fik concerning Alexander the Great, it la pretty certain that the Government would take control and finance further exploration.
"As it is, I must just mark time, and hope the money will come from
somewhere.
"These expeditions are expensive. "When we excavated for the Lomb of Tutankhamen between £30,000 and £75,000 was spent. Moving the objects once the tomb is opened is costly.
"It took us nine years to remove everything froi Tutankhamen's tooth, and cost £11.000."
LAST WISH
Mr. Carter believes that Alexander was buried somewhere on the out- skirts of the old town of Alexandria, It is known that his inst wish was to be furled there.
"But to excavato there would be like trying to excavate under a Lon- don suburt," Mr. Carter added. "We should have to dig under people's houses,
