CONSTANTINOPLE (AP) Stir-
red by the example of tHe British
Archaeloglcal expedition which is
working on the Hippodrome, the
Turks have begun their own first
important excavation here.
Theirs is a case of digging up old
scores, for they have undertaken to
restore the famed Golden Gate,
symbol of triumph of their tradition-
al enemies, the Grek lords of the
Byzantine Empire.
Turish archaeologists, led by Ma-
cridy Bey, sub-director of th& Turk-
ish National Museum, began by re-
moving the brieks which the Otto-
man conqnerors used to block up
tile three arches of the triumphal
gate erected by Theodosius. the
Great in 384 A. D. to commemorate
his victory over the usurper Maxi-
mus.
# They have cleared away mounds
of earth and marble blocks thrown
down from the arches by earth-
quakes. By digging to depths of
one to three feet they have laid bare
the Byzantine pavement over which
Christian emperors, victors oyer
various barbarian hosts, were drawn
in triumphal chariots through exult-
ing mobs.
Of the many statuer, and rolléis
which are known to have adorned
the Golden Gate no trace remains,
and it is with the probability of
making impoiVujt finds that the
Turks intend to excavate the whole
precinct as long as their meager
funds permit. They have already
unearthed a small marble torso, the
key to an archaeological mystery.
For this torso is a fragment of the
famous frieze which is known to
have been in placa as late as 1621
and which history thereafter nevei
mentioned.
In 1621, Sir Thomas Rowe, Brit-
ish ambassador to Constantinople,
wa3 requested by the Duke of Buck-
ingham to purchase the frieze and
ship it to England. The sultan's
treasurer rode out one night to su-
pervise the removal of the frieze.
But the population gat wind of the
transaction, poured out to the Gold-
en Gate and stoned the treasurer
into fleeing for safety to the palace
whence he issued orders calling off
the deal with the English.
What became of the frieze there-
after no one knows, but the frag-
ment brought to light by the Turk-
ish excavators indicates that it was
not subsequently sent out of the
country, but that it was probably
buried by earthquakes and that
much of it may yet be found.

with almost every ruling house inj

The Dulte of Orleans claimed di-1
rect descent from the old Bourbon i
line, and he based his vain claim to
the throne of France on that de-
scent. In 1898 he married Princess
Maria Dorothea, a descendant of
the Hapsburg rulers of Austria.
King Mauel belongs to the ten-
centurles-old family of Bragance
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In 1913,
following his exile he extended his
connections by marrying Princess
Augusta Victoria of Hohenzollern,
a relation of the then ruling family
of Germany.
The two families were conected
through the duke's sister, Queen
Amelle, who was Manuel's mother
and former queen of Portugal. After
