So strong had the belief in this report become that senators were congratulating Senator New on 20ing into the cabinet. Moving picture photographers were on the trail of the Indilana senator, also, in the bellef that he is to be made a member of the cabinet. Senator New denied that he. had any information whatever regarding the matter. Tt is believed that a statement made by the President prior to his clection, to the effect that he would appoint a man from the west as Sec- jret of the Interior has prevented h ppointing Senator New to that office. Mr. Work and his appointment would conform with the statement which has been attributed to the President. ning when he made his rounds of the Hermitage plantation, the little gir! rode before him on his horse, Sam Patch, the charger presented Jackson by the citizens of Philadelphia in 1833 during a tour of the north. During the long days at the Her- mitage the little girl played on an old-fashioned sofa in the general's bedroom, where the general would sit ibefore the portrait of his dead wife To only one place the little grand- daughter never ompanied _him Eivery evening at sunset he went alone to his wife's tomb in the Her- mitage garden. where he stood bare- headed. ~ Little Rachel always await- ed him at the garden gate Recelves His Parting Gift Only a few days before his death, on her return from school in Nash- ville, the general called the child to his bedside and placed around her neck a quaint beaded chain, to which for whom she was named. her to wear and cherish mand most faithfully carried out. After Gen. Jackson's death, young Rachel and her parents continued to make their home at the Hermitage, and there she was married, January 1853, to Dr. John Marshall Law- nce of Tennessee. In 1855, Tennessee purchased Hermitage property government to be used as a second West Point. and the Lawrence family moved to their own home, Birdsong. two miles distant from the historic Jackson home. Casual There Mrs He bade it. a com- the to present to the sits 1o Hermitage. Lawrence spent her sub- sequent vears, journeying over to the Hermitage now and then to join in welcoming there some visitor of un- usual note. One of the most inter- esting of these occasions was when President Ttoosevelt visited the Her- mitage in 1907. Mrs. Lawrence will be buried in the Hermitage beside her husband, where sleep Gen Jacks bers of his household. D. C.

House Adopts Bill to End Exemp- tion on “Capital Loes Another administration measure de- signed to close up gaps in the exist- ing tax law was approved yesterday by the House without a roll call. It now goes to the Senate. Under the terms of the bill a tax- payer sustaining a loss in the sale of a capital asset would be allowed to deduct only 1215 per cent of that loss from his total taxable income inste: of the whole amount of the loss as at present. In the case of gains from the sale of capital assets, the tax would remain at 121, per cent of the total gain. as at present secretury Mellon wrote Congress j that the capital loss exemption was being availed of extensively, particu- larly wealthy individuals and cor- porations, to cvade federal taxation.

Egypt. February 3 —Sev- parties of native and foreign students are beginning to arrive at Luxor to make a first-hand study of these recently unfolded pages of an- tiquity. There were two eager groups | of them. along with a large crowd of | tourist visitors. here yesterday watch- | ing the removal of a number of in- teresting objects from-Tutankhamen's tomb. There was a wooden shrine about ! two feet high, covered with gold foil. | on which some charming scenes of | ancient life had been exquisitely | worked, but these have not vet been | closely 'studied. The shrine had two swinging doors. fastening with a lit- tie bronze bolt, and n general the shape is like the shrines of the gods seen in the temples, as, for example, the shrine of Horus at Edfu. There alvo was removed & beautiful ushabti statuette, a figure of the king, made | in wood inlaid with gold. It is'in the style of art of the time of Akhnaton, | and is assuredly one of the most beautiful ushabtis ever found. A small wooden stool made of ivory | was next brought up. and two wood- | en headrests, on which the ancient Egyptians supported their necks when sleeping, as do certain modern peoples. Then there was one of the | remaining chariot wheels, and a bow- ishaped voke of the chariot, which | | went across the necks of the horses. Bits were used in the horses’ mouths, {and they were driven with reins vers muech as we manage today. Some of | | the royal linen was also brought up, | but one could not see if these were | | actual robe { |” Finally a few sweepings from the floor of the tomb were carefully re- | moved, in case any stray beads or, fragments of jewelry had been over- | looked, and among these little heaps ! of dust were a number of grains of seed, remains of what must have been basketfuls of various grain, most of which has already been re- ' moved. People often ask whether ancient grain. of this kind still has life in it and can be grown, answer is in the negative, and stories of this kind that one hears are due to modern grain, found In the open tombs, being mistaken for the an- cien xcavators are now taking their | time, and it will be still some days before the inner chamber is opened.

The Senate District committes today ‘asked the Commissioners for a report on the bill introduced by Senator Phipps a few days ago, giving the President the power of appointing the local board of education, subjegt to confirmation by the Senate. While the city heads have not yet considered the bill in board session, it is belleved at the District building they will suggest to Congress in reply that the appointing power over the school board be placed in the board of Com- missioners.
