(OOLIDGE TACKLES SHP BOARDISSLE . Successor to Farley and Questions of Policy Before President Today. President Coolidge has not reached » decision regarding the selaction of i successor to Edward P. Farley. who has submitted his resignation as vhairman of the Shipping Board, nor has he made up his mind regarding any of the proposals made by Sena- tor Jones, chairman of the Senate commerce committee, providing far- ching changes in the policy of the Loard and the operation of the fleet. The President is known to be giving loth matters his close attention, with the hope that he will be able to dis- pose of at least one of them in a whort time. In this connection it is Lelieved the President will for the jresent concentrate on the picking of @ man entirely suitable to his ideas ro head the Shipping Board. He is represented as casting about for an xperienced man who may, above rverything eise, unravpl the present ngle of affaira said to exist in the Shipping Board, afd to prepare a poliey of operation for the future that will meet with the desires of the administration. He is known to want also pathy istrati with the admin- . Confers. With Jomes. President continued his study theso problems today by first co ferring with Senato Admiral Leigh Palmer, tired, who has been directing the fairs of the Shipping Board in South America for the past four or five months and who has been mentioned prominently as a possible successor o Mr. Farlev, joined this-conference Neither he nor Senator Jones wera in the least communicative re- arding the nature of the confe noe when they wera questioned ipon leaving the White House. Despite the fact that President Coolidge, n answer to incuiries on the subjéct, stated that there was no significance to the conference with niral Palmer Thursday afternoon. ng the resignation of Mr. there are those who feel that there is a strong possibility that Ad- niral Palmer is being considered by the President for the chairmanship of the board. Some of those who are follow affairs of the board clos. while the President ma the former in mind for the chairman ship, he may place him at_the h of the Emergency Fleet Corporation in the event he approves the Jones plan to divorce its activities from the supervision of the Shipping Board. A\dmiral Palmer is known to een slated to go to London as the director of the interests of the Ship- ping Board there, but no reason can e associated with this and his recent White House calls Admiral Palmer Qualified. Tt is pointed out that Admiral Pal- mer is eminently qualified from his long experience in the Navy and from politics of the “The not have have | man who will be in- entire sym- | !

LUXOR, Egypt, December 20.— With the removal of the roof of the great canopy over the sarcophagus of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, the next operation confronting the excavators is the dismantling of the sides of the outer shrine. The completion of this task will virtually conclude the preliminary work of this season and Howard Carter's men then will enter upon fresh discoveri Hopes are high hers that the sec- ond casket, which the correspondent is assured never has been opened,| will contain one of those bewilder- ingly rich and beautiful finds of royal jewelry with which the records of Egyptology are starred. Heights of Artistry Shown. The exquisite golden crowns, neck- laces, bracelets, mirrors and daggers belonging to the princesses of the twelfth dynasty, known as “The Treasure of Duhshur,’ which are now in the Cairo museum, show heights of artistry the goldsmiths of that most flourishing era of ancient Beyptian hbstory were capable of attaining. 2 Such pieces of the Jjewelry of Tutankbamen as the tomb already has glven up suggest the workms of the eighteenth dynasty quite as good as that of the twelfth, while It is considered more than likely that the royal insignia and personal ornaments of a relgn- ing king will exceed iu splendor any- thing hitherto found. Burglars Left Sepulchre Alone. In thelr work on the canopy, the excavators say, they found nothing to indicate that the burglars who ransacksd every part of the royal sepulchre had in any wise tampered with the shrine. Thus, while it is dangerous to prophesy as to the contents of a tomb, it is considered not an oversanguine belief that the whole collection of Tutankhamen's | jewelry wilil be found intact—part of | it ‘most probably when the second shrine is opened in the immediate ! future. Thers is believed to be scarcely any doubt, either, that the workmanship will show a strong influence of that 0dd naturalistio art movement that issued forth from the capital of Ak- henaton, the heretic king, Tutankha- men’s predecessor and father-in-law, traces of which already have been found in reliefs on boxes, chariots, etc., although the decoration of thege was more or less hampered by con- vention. The smaller ornaments, such as buckies, clasps, amulets and toilet | instruments, however, giving the imagination of the ‘artist greater scope, ure thought likely to reveal { to what extent the bizarre art of Tell | | El Amarna stimulated the craftsmen Tutankhamen's day. fTENNESSEEANS TO MEET.| ! a block in which more than half the | resident DECLARED VALID Baltimore Ordinance Upheld by Judge—Will Be Benefit, He Insists. $3.50 Philadelphia. $3.25 Chester $3.00 Wilmington AND RETURN SUNDAYS, January 6 & 20 SPECIAL TRAIN Eastern Standard T Lv. Washington (Unfon pecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, December 29.—That segregation of the races has been made constitutionally possible by the Baltimore zoning law was the declaration of Judge Charles W. Houlsler the suprems bench | vesterday. Judge Heulsler's at-| tontion was called to the fact that the working of the de-| cision rendered by him in superio court on the conatitutionality of the | zoning law had caused a great deal of comment as to just what he had in mind with reference to the move- ment of races about the city. He was asked if he had in mind the belief that in the discretion of the zoning board zones would be created within the city into which white people could not meve and other zones {nto which colored peo- ple could not move. - He said: “Of course, it does. They can do so without the sllghtest discrimination. The whole ordinance is merely a proper exercise of the police powers | of the munlcipality to promote the | safety, health, morals and welfare of the community’ Would Boost Values. “Certainly one of the most potent effects of such prounotion is apprecia- tion of property value, and mo one wliil for a moment deny that such segregation omes would appreciate | vaiues in such zomes for all races alike. It would promote neighborli- | neas and work for the advancement and betterment of all races alike.” This statement by Judge Heulsler reopens tho whole question of race segregation, which has been a live topic in Baltimore for more than a decade. It recalis the fact that at the time the West segregation ordinance was declared invalld by the court of appeals. February 4, 1911, the way was left open for segregation legis- lation that would be valid, but upon which no action has ever been taken. Text of Ordinance. The West ordinance was passed by council in October, 1910. This ordi- nance provided: That no negro can move into a block in which more than half of the residents are white. That no wpite person can movs into of ! are colored. i That when a new block Is begun the builder must specify in his ap- plication for a permit what race the | houses are intended for. In an unanimous decision the court of appeals declared the ordinance in- valid on purely technidal grounds, but stated that the mayor and eity coun- cil had the right to pass a law segre- gating the residential districts of the white and colored races. A few ef- forts to secure similar legisiation were made later, but were never car- ried through. ngton 10.05 am., Chester 10.23 deiphia, Broad Street, 10, leaves Broad Btreet West Philadelphia 59 p.m., Wilmington & Tickets on salo Friday preceding Excursion gArSimilar Exoursions Bundays, February 8, 17, March 8, 16, 30, and April 13.
