Allan Davis, chairman of the council, said the en- tire session was devoted to the dis- cussion of the Capper teachers' salary and school reorganization bill, and that everything was carried on in perfect harmony and agreement. To dispel the opinion of certain high school teachers that the school authorities were not in favor of the teachers’ salary bill as amended by the House District committee, the of- ficials issued the following com- munique following the council meet- ing. “The attitude of the school offic been in favor of the salary bill very effort by the school officials been given to bring before the members of Congress the necessity for the authorization of an adequate sulary schedule.

Some educators have asked for a department of education Iitself. It has been pointed out however, that the prominent educators of the coun- try feel that the reorganization plan of jolning the two will be a for- ward step at least, and of there comes enough development in the fu- ture, with growth of the educational| branch of the department, it might| be separated, in such manner as the formerly united Departments of Commerce and Labor was separated. The Christian Science church, it is{ learned has rongly opposed the combination in the weifare depart- ment on the grounds that the govern- ment will attempt to {nject health Ppropaganda in the educational sys- tem of the country. Officials have re- ceived a flood of protests from Chris- tian scientists all over the country it was learned. alleging that such a program will infringe on their per- sonal prerogatives concerning health and the treatment of disease. Great Benefits Seen. On the part of proponents of the plan, however, it has been pointed out, that the wellbeing of the body and the wellbeing of the mind are inseparably linked, and that greater attention to the health of school chil- dren through a closer cooperation be- tween the federal and state govern- ments and education systems of the country would result in raising the level of both the physique and men- tality of the coming generation. No detailed plan of working out the connection between the two is| understood to have been completed, however. By placing the two branches in the same department, it has been pointed out, each can be counted on to grow and enlarge its functions and usefulness to the people of the country. It has been the consistent history of every use- ful branch of the government, ac- cording to close students of the situ- ation, that it grew from small be- ginninga through the zealous activ- ity of its chiefs.

Secretary Weeks sald today that “every consideration” had been glven Gen. Cronkhite by the War Depart- ment in his investigation of the death county of his son. “I personally interceded with the Attorney General,” sald Mr. Weeks, “and it was at my instigation that the Department of Justice made its investigation.” The Secretary added that under the circumstances it was impossible for Gen. Cronkhite to render “active service,” although carried on Army rolls as a major general, “We needed a man,” Mr. Weeks said, “who would give us the service required of an officer on active duty and the need was increased, due to the shortage in officers as a result of | recent reductions. Gen. Cronkhite did not function in that capacity and it was apparent he never could.” Correspondence Reproduced. In the pamphlet which has been placed in the hands of members of Congress are contained copies of the voluminous correspondence between Gen. Cronkhite and the War Depart- ment and the general's direct appeals to President Harding as commander- in-chief of the Army. The communications Gen. Cronkhite was ordered on April 28, 1921, to command the Panama canal department and that he made an ineffectual effort to haxe the transfer canceled to permit him to remain in the United States until those responsible for his son's death had been brought to justice. On July 17, 1921, and after an- nouncement by the Attorney General that the cases against Capt. Rosen- bluth and Sergt. Pothier in connection with the death of Maj. Cronkhite would be dropped for lack of federal jurisdiction and the two men be dis- charged from federal custody, Gen. Cronkhite wrote the Secretary of War appealing for his intervention with the Department of Justice to prevent such action. In that letter Gen. Cronkhite said: “There i8 no question that, but for a peremptory order of the Attorney General, stopping the Indictment of the men charged with this crime, in order to hold an impartial investi- gation In the case, which was never held, these. men would have been indicted and probably tried.

GERMAN RIOT CITY REFUSES PAYMENT OF FINE TO FRENCH (Continued from First Page.) station square and the number of sentinels has been doubled. ‘The French have begun to requis tlon automobliles, quoted as being de- manded, according to the size of the districts. Thus thirty were demanded in Dortmund and ~seventy-two In Essen. The French close the roads until the deliveries are made or enough machines are seized. It was this move that led to the shooting in Gelsemkirchen, where one German policeman was killed and two French gendarmes seriously wounded. The gendarmes had requisitioned an au- tomobile and were hurrying through the city without tail lights on the machine, when the policeman whistled for them to stop. The gendarmes climbed out of the car, an altercation ensued and the shooting followed. In consequence of this battle the city of Gelsenkirchen, which has & population of more than 150,000, was fined 100,000,000 paper marks. The French also undertook a military punitive expedition against the town, marching in with tanks, machine guns, mine throwers, artillery and cavalry. Two thousand soldlers oc- cupled the public buildings, including the police barracks. Guards were stationed at the street crossings and trafic was suspended. There was some shooting when the French entered the police barracks and ordered the men there to throw their hands up. About forty of them were disarmed _and led away between guards. The mayor, chief of police and the manager of the reichsbank were arrested. Having completed their work, the French evacuated the city and returned to their own quarters. 48 AUTOS DEMANDED. By the Associated Press. BOCHUM, February 14.—It is stated in German quarters that the occupi tional authorities have demanded the delivery of forty-eight automabiles by the German residents, each car to be of at least twenty horsepower, capa- ble of seating four and accompanied by a chauffeur. As a guarantee of fulfillment of the demand, it is said, a number of auto- moblles have already been appropriat- ed in the streets. The German claim that fulfillment of the requisition would involve property worth one bil- lion marks. NEWSPAPER PLANT CLOSED. By the Associated Press.

T The . followin o written for tbe London Times by D; Gardiner, and is the first authoritativ account of what may be called the docu- mentary evidence so far furnished by the contents of the tomb. BY DR. ALAN H. GARDINER. Precisely seven days and three hours after leaving London I found myselt at the entrance of the tomb of King Tutankhamen, ready to un- dertake any deciphering work which might be intrusted to me. A sight of the artistic marvels discovered by | Howard Carter largely atoned for my natural disappointment at the news that after all there were no papyri. Those acquainted with the conditions ‘will have no difficulty in understand- ing how the mistake arose. At the outset only & dim light was avail- able, the lids of the boxes had to be raised with the utmost caution, and 1t would have been scientifically crim- inal to handle or even touch objects within. It is little wonder, therefore, that some discolored rolls of linen were mistaken for papyri. Doubt it Papyri Are Found. Whether or not papyrl will ulti- mately be found among the treasures of the tomb is doubtful If, as we - are entitled to hope, the burial cham- ber be intact, or buc slightly plun- dered, it is likely that at least an example of the Book of the Dead will_be discovered, but what students of Egyptian history and philology long for is not a corrupt, garbled version of the anclent 'funerary rituals such as a papyrus of the Book of the Dead belonging to this period would undoubtedly present, but, rather, a series of leiters, jour- nals or archives of some sort that could throw light upon the stirring times in which King Tutankhamen lived or upon his conversion from the Aten heresy back to the faith of his_forefathers. The hope that any such documents will emerge is, we must admit, l?at a very faint one. Probably in the end the claim of the new tomb to be the greatest discovery ever made in Egypt will rest. inly on. the great quantity | |arti King Tutankhamen of objects found and their amazingly high artistic quality. Historical Harvest to Be Slight. The historical harvest will be of less importance. ~Inscriptions avail- able for study at the moment of my visit were of three kings, First, there were official sealings stamped upon the mud partitions by which the tomb itself and its several chambers were closed. Secondly, - there were dockets of labels, written in hieratio, on various boxes and on wine jars. Lastly, there were purely decora- tive hieroglyphic legends, which form a_striking feature of all objects of tic merit, The task of dealing with the mud sealings was rightly Intrusted to Prof. Breasted, eminent historian of anclent Egypt, but I am permitted to state that no evidence was thereby revealed of any interference with the tomb later than the reign of King Haremhap, Tutankhamen’s successor. This conclusion tallies with that to be drawn from the hieratic dockets, all of which are cotemporary, and indeed are probably attributable in all cases, except the wine jars, to the undertakers themselves. The Egyptians were a meticulous people, and it is characteristic of Established 1875 Coffee Best Blend.........pound, Best Maracaibo.....pound, Best Golden Rio....pound, My Coffee, package, pound, White House, in cartons, pound, Chase & Sanborn, in tins, pound, Barrington-Hall, in tins, pound, Kaffee Hag, carton, pound, Dekofa vevuvou.en..pound, Magruder’s Fine Groceries Conn.

In one case & box is said to have contained “the sidelock of his majesty, which he wore when he was a child,” besides razors, proces (?) and alabaster vases, and on the 1id of another box we read of various garments of fine linen, | and on a third of a ewer of silver and six silver milk vessels. Had the boxes been left unrified by robbers we should have found a valuablé means of testing the validity of our translations, for it must be con- fessed that the precise meaning of Egyptian names of many utensils, articles of clothing and the like is {still largely a matter of conjecture. { " Unhappily this line of investigation s not likely to prove very profitable, cince it appears that most of the boxes have been emptied by robbers fand subsequently repacked haste, | either by them or by the pri who resealed the tomb. Here and there, {however, we may still find in these boxes this or that object which is mentioned on the 1id. _(This has in fact occurred since Dr. Gardiner, Who is now in Cairo, wrote the fore- 0ing. € The purely decorative inscriptions are not very informative. At their shortest they give the cartouches of Tutankhamen or of his queen, Ankh- nesamen. One 1id of a box found in the rubbish of a passage, and men- tioned in the first communication sent to the London Times, is inter- esting because it names the heretic king Akhenaten, his daughter, Menet- aten, and her husband, the associated king Smenkhkara (if that be the true reading of his name). For the most part the decorative legends are purely rhetorical in character. Thus, on a riding whip Tutankhamen Is| described as “appearing gloriously in ! chariot _(literally on his horse) | even like the rising sun” and on| one of his staffe of office he is said to inspire “fear in every hill ooun- try and there is no land free from ibe dread of him." Such is the nature of the Inscrip- tion studied by me thus far. As al- ready stated, in estimating the im- portance of the find we shall have to look rather to the artistic value of the tomb than to its historical or cultural teaching. That fs, at all events, my first impression. But there remaine masses of material still to be examined on_subsequent visits to Luxor. When I left there early in January only a few objects were as yet in a safe enough condition to leave the hands of the restorers for philological examination. | | | mmissioner of the memorial asso-, * COLDER WEATHER DUE, SAYS D.
