! HSTORGAL SOGETY SEEYS MEMBERS Intensive Drive Launched to Bring Total on Roll OFTEN AIDS CONGRESS Data Supplied Upon Requests From Both Houses—Body Founded in 1894. as a goul one thousand niembers, the Columbia Historical So- Ciety has launched an intensive mem- bership drive with the purpose of in- teresting in the activities of the or- ganization not only private citizens of Washington, but government offi- and members of Congress, it was announced today. The campalign is being waged by a special membership committee head- ed by F. Regis Noel and composed of the following: Edward F. Collada Albert Harper, Miss Maud Burr Mor- ris. Theodore W. Noyes. (eorge W. Offutt, jr., Mrs. Charies W. . Washington Topham espie Walsh. Ald Given Congress. This committee has sent out letters to the members of the society urging them to solicit at I t three friends to join. Letters also will be sent to members of both houses of Congress calling attention to the fact that the society in the past has been request- ed to supply historical data to Con- gress, and pointing out that member- ship in the society will afford the legislators a source of valuable In- formation regarding national and local history. A statement of the aims and ac- tivities of the Columbia Historical Soclety was made public by the mem- bership committee, as follows: States Have Socleties. The Columbia Historical Society was organized in the vear 1884, for the “collection, preservation and dif- fusion of knowledge respecting the history and topography of the Di trict of Columbia and national h tory and biography.” Its affairs are conducted by a board of managers composed of the eight officers and eight laymen, who meet monthly. Here are some interesting acts. Practically every state in the Union has its historical society, receiving financial support from the state, for the maintenance of a building suit- able for its purposes. for clerical services, and for the publication of its pamphlets and books of local his- tory relating o the pioneer davs of the state. 1t is believed that none of these state societies holds monthly meetings at which historical papers are read and illustrated lectures given iy Papers Given Monthly. The Columbia Historical Society re- ceives no government support, and is dependent entirely upon membership dues and the occasional sale of its volumes to other socie libraries and non embers. And yet, for near- Iy thirty vears, it has held a meet- ing once a month from November to May each year, at which papers re- lating to the earl tory of the District of Colum and the Unitel States government are read. This % the Nation's Capital, these pa- are of natignal as well as local interest and value. Also illustrated lectures and moving pictures on ap- propriate subjects are delivered, ‘These papers are collected and .n annual bound volume of several hun- dred pazes. profusely illustrated, is lssued free to the members. The twenty-fifth volume is in press and will shortly be issued These vol- umes are recognized as authoritative and are becoming more and more in demand daily, they should be in the hands of every onc of our lawmakers. Suitable Quarters Needed. The inability te attend its meet- mgs is frequently given as a reason for not joining tho society, but. while losing the social element and the ad- vantage of meeting and mingling with those historically inclined, the loss is offset by the receipt of the annual volume containing the papers read during the preceding vear. The social side should by no means be neglected. The society needs a suitable head- quarters, where its large and valuable library can be displaved and made avail- able to the members. An Increased in- ome would enable the committee in «harge to issue the annual volume more promptly and also to issue oceasionally additional volumes of reprints of early documents of vast interest to historians, TOFORE EX ing between Georze Nicholson and Constant Nicholson, at 741 11th st. n.iv..

It was a quarter past 1 o'clock when this quiet and subdued proces- sion filed from an adjacent tomb where they had nibbled at a luncheon preparatory to advancing to the stage for this historic occasion. Lord Car- narvon led the way past the barrier, followed by his daughter, Lady Evelyn Herbert; his brother, the Hon. Mervyn Herbert; Sir William Garstin, the Hon. Richard Bethel, Prof. Breasted, Mr. Winlock, Mr. Lithgoe and Dr. Alan Gardiner, with the ex- pert staff, including four members of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art exposition, at Thebes. Party ‘Ilnllerlly Nervou: For a few minutes they sat inside the barrier and looked dow into the mouth of the locked tomb, manifestl; nervous, and seeking to hide their agitation under a (’(J!l\’ellllln’lxl chat- ter which deceived nobody. Ten min- utes later there arrived Abdel Hamid Soliman Pasha, the undgrnu:re Soblle "\works of the Egyptian %ov- Prnment, and M. Lacau, director of the Egyptian antiquities department, and all were ready for the excursion into the past. M owly and conscious of the mo- mentous nature of the occasion, Mr. Carter's staff unlocked the outer wooden doorway and merged into the Jarkness of the steep passage lead- ing to the antechamber. Mr. Carter followed, while the guests apt-\(!‘. Warned that the atmosphere of the would be stifiing, divested word the native bearers co arry several chairs dow Stairs to the antechamber, and Lord Carnarvon who was gradually suc cumbing to the excitement sought re- in the suggestion that the party was going to enjoy a concert. There were strained laughs in response, fol- lowed by moments of embarrassed silence. Then Mr. Carter's voice boomed from the depth of the tomb, Won't you ali come down?” Debate Admitting Reporters. But before a general movement into the tomb shaft there was an inter- ruption which, because it came into such a surcharged atmosphere, seem- ed startlingly ominous. The ques- tion arose whether the press be ad- mitted. There had been a strong fight for the privileges, and for a few seconds the issue hung in the bal- ance. Lord Carnarvon, desired to ad- mit the London Times correspondent and delay the entry of the others for- a few days, but Hamid Soliman Pasha_inxisted that either all the correspondents or none be admitted. The “noes” had it and the press rep- resentatives were left to languish in the broiling sun. Strain Was Intense. that moment there was a At a menced to From since Dr. | ster- | of | Car- the | ary of | THE SUNDAY three-hour period of intense strain, not only for those in the shimmering stiliness above, but in & degree worse for those below, whose agitation yas reflected by nervous laughs, half fin ished and’ uneasy shufMing of feet which, ‘as the space in the antecham ber was so confined, reverberated boomingly to the outer air. It was just on the hour of 2 o'clock when like a signal gun striking a most fateful hour, there came the me- tallic click of a sharp instrument striking the seal-marked concrete covering the outer side of what was believed to be the mortuary chamber. This was the scene in the ante- chamber of the tomb; down twenty sieep old steps to a steep passage, perhaps ten vards long, on inte an oblong antechamber —about —seven yards long by five yards wide, by four high walls of solld rock panted a light pink and glowing with a roseate hue' in the strong gleam of several 200 candle power elcetric lights: in one corner stands two sentry boxes containing life-size statues of the king, which for 3,400 ycars had been the keepers of the porial of the death chamber, and in this narrcw space twenty people sit. Faces White in Excitement. Their faces are already white in fetid atmosphere and the artificial light accentuates their unnatural paleness. Sometimes they make jerky but no one listens, no one <. and all sit forward rigid and intense. - At the southern end of the ante- chamber a great oblong slab of great white masonry breaks the pink wall. That is the objective of the immediate attack. Mr. Carter picks up a chisel and hammer. He turns and attempts to relieve the strain by remark- ing that the concert will' commence. He hesitates and orders the light brought nearer so that the gleam concentrates on the MASORTY con- fronting him. The light advances till it plays on the seals on the like a spotlight on the stage, the rest of the chamber grows dim mer and more eerie. Suddenly with determined blow strikes and pick, pick, pick., and clink, clink, clink, floats upward in a not unmuslcal cadence. The echo rebounds from wall to wall in the dim antechamber. and fan nts a picture of the dead pharaon inside walking from his long sleep and ing with a stratled look as he the sounds of the intruders on his royal privacy. No Other Sound Is Heard. sound ‘other than that of the frontal attack on the door breaks the stillness, which is so thick that it can almost be felt. Perspiration down the faces of the little group and the dust rises in particles in the translucent glare of the electric lights. Every movement of Mr. Car- ter is watched with hypnotic intent- ness.

INDIANAPOLIS, February 17.—The body of Charles W. Miller, former at- torney general of Indiana, was found late this afternoon by city detectives in a room of the English Hotel here. Mr. Miller’s throat was slashed. The body was found by the side of the bed. A razor covered with blood lay on the dresser. In front of the dresser a small rug was saturated with blood. A half-pint bottle con- taining a small quantity of poisonous acid was found in the room. Henry M. Dowling, Mr. Miller's law partner, when informed that Mr. Mil- ler's body had been found, said that Mr. Miller was undoubtedly insane. Mr. Miller was formerly United IStates district attorney for Indiana. While serving in that capacity he successfully prosecuted the so-called dynamite conspiracy case, which brought him nation-wide fame. In this case forty-two men, many of Ithem labor leaders, including the Mc- Namara brothers, were tried. Two of them pleaded guilty Last Seen in“Drug Store. Mr. Miller took his life by culting his throat with the razor and drink- ing some of the poison, Paul F.
