February 16—The Fgyptian government's action re- garding Tut-ankh-Amen’s tomb, it is declared here, will be bhsed entirely upon the terms of Howard Carter's concession and the agreement of Kebruary 7, governing the admission of visitors to the tomb, of which Mr. Carter was a signatory, and the gov- ernment will act entirely within its legal rights. Every measure will be taken to preserve the valuable treas- ures of the tomb.

Carter Holds Keys to Tomb, But | Is Not Allowed to Enter. By the Associated Press. LONDON, February 16.—The dis- pute between Howard Carter and Egyptian officials over conditions sur- rounding the work in the tomb of Tut-ankh-Amen has reached a dead- lock, according to dispatches receiv- ed here, and the peculiar position of latter remanded to jail in default of $10,000. $1,000 Bills Involved. The three are charged by the secret service dlvision of the Trens- ury with a conspiracy to counterfeit $1,000 bills. Houghton and Jacobson were arrested while emerging from a house at 10th and B streets north- west. Two photographic glass nega- tives of the front and back of a $1.000 federal reserve note on the Federal Reserve Bank at Philadelphia were found in a satchel in the possession of the two men. On the person of |Jacobson a Treasury operative found one sheet of genulne government paper from which the ink which made it 2 $1 bill had been bleached. Habicht, a young man. said to be under thirty vears of age, was a former engraver and dle sinker in| the bureau and is considered an ex- pert artisan. Chief Moran of the secret service indicated today the government was investigating further into the ramifi- cations of the case. Another arrest in the conspiracy was made by a local police in Wash- ington today when Willlam Custer Sweeney of 114 C street northeast was taken for_questioning by the se- cret service. His connection with the affair was not fully revealed, but po- lice say they understood he was wanted with a view to his availabil- ity s a witness. Sweeney, who is a clerk in a clothing store and said by the police to be an intimate friend of Houghton's, was arrested by De- tectives Kelly, Shriver, Cullinane and | O'Dea. the moment is that Carter holds the keys to the tomb but is not allowed to enter. ‘ Mr. Carter, according to the Calro| correspondent of the Dally Mall, wrote | to Premler Said Zagloul Pasha, threatening to take legal action against the government, to which the premier replied that Carter was free to take action, but the government was determined that the appointed days for_ visiting the tomb be ob- iserved. He added: i, "I am sorry to have to remind you {that the tomb is not your property. The science which you Tightly invoke |cannot concelve that owing to the incident over the visits of people whom you wished to favor, you and tyour colleagues will abandon your investigations, In which not only {Egypt but the whole world is in- terested.” |y The Cairo correspondent of the Morning Post reports that the Egyp- | tian cabinet decided that Mr. Car-| ter's action in closing the tomb on his own initiative constituted in- fringement of contract, and that the government consequently is free to continue the work itself if it wishes, a course to which the Egyptian press is strongly urging it. The corre- spondent says, however, that Carter probably wiil 'be given the option of continuing the work, subject to oer- tain definite conditions.

NEW YORK, February 16.—The Brooklyn Eagle today publishes a letter to Herbert F. Gunnison, its publisher, from Joseph P. Tumulty, former secretary to the late Wood- row Wilson, stating that Mr. Wilson had determined to resign as President in 1914 if Congress did not accede to his demand for legisiation repealing the Panama canal tolls In the letter, Mr. Tumulty writes: “As an_interesting sidelight on the courage of Woodrow Wilson in connec- tion with this controversy, I wish for the first time to call attention to the fact that in the most solemn way he made the statement to me that in case Congress should refuse to repeal Pan- ama tolls there was nothing left for him to do_but resign as President of the United States. The conversation I had with him In this matter took place im- mediately after the delivery of his mes- sage to Congress, when it looked as if the tides of opposition were running very strongly. In discussing the matter of his resignation with me he said: ““l would not want to be President of a country that would violate & solemn treaty.
