STOF ATOGCULT - THEORY OF DEATH Brtish Pross Soes. Nothing Strange in Carnarvon's Demise ! London, April 18, (By Assoclated Press).~—The untimely death of the Earl of Carnarvon bef he could reap the full harvest of his Egyptian discoveries appeals deeply to popular sympathy here, and many apprecia- tive editorial and obituary notices pear in the press today. These articles’ emphasize | among ather things the loss which Egyptol- OgY has suffered in the death of the man who brought to it energy, enter- prise and weaith, * . Scuff at Occult Theories The newspapers deprecate what all sober commentators regard as the foolish ‘suggestion that maligh occult influences contributed to the earl's death, All tho dispatches from Cairo agreo essentially to his illness nnd its cause. No statement by physiclins has been recélved and 'inasmuch as there seems to be nothing unusual to report none is expected. 17 The late earl's friends heré, believe that his health suffered from his ac- tivitles connected with 'ths work at King Tutankhamen’s tomb. To this were added -the excitement and. worry follo g the great discovery with the result that he became weakened physically and was theréetore less able | * to resist the attack of illness that proved fatal. Carnarvon is credited- witii-having sald recently that he was “woryiei to death” by the countless telegrams, let- ters and requests of all Kinds trom archaeologists and learned societies. Had Many Relics The disposition of the lats earl's rare collection of antiques at his country seat has already become. a question of public interest, Recogniz- ed as one of the most important col- . Jections in the world, the Carnarvon treasures include many rare relics of all periods, several of which were purchased at very high prices. The gem of the collection is said to be a portrait statuette of Thothmes III which =18 found in Egypt during the war by native excavators. Carnarvon paid some thousands of pounds for the little ‘treasure. It is about seven inches in height.and is made of solid gold. It dates back to approximately “1560 B. C. Whether the ear] disposed of his collection in his will 1s unknown but the hope is expressed that he may have bequeathed it to the nation, The possibility of it being sold, is alsd suggested. The public knows little .of Lord Portchester the new Earl of Carnar- von beyond the fact that he is un ofi- cer in a cavalry regfment and that he is reputed to be a. skilful horserisn. With his succession to the title amn- other Ameérican peeress cr:mqa into British society but it is not'tnown whether her husband will return to his duties in India or will retire to ¢n- Jjoy his-new rank. = —— — ——————— FOX'S STARTING SUNDAY ot e The Million Dollar Kid Ly JACKIE COOGAN With' the Billion Dollar $mile IN “DADDY” Y e Tt Y et Y e LONDON PREPARES FOR BiG CROP OF TOURISTS 100,000 Americans Expected . to He Only Vanguard of Pleasure Seck- ers This' Summer, ing plang to entertain more Ameri- can tourists this surnmer than in any similad period in recent times, The vanguard estimated at 100,000 who are expected to arrive in time to see the Duke of York's.wedding [from the sidelines, will be only ‘a forerunner of a veritable army of pleasure seekers, which before the summer is spent {s expected to num- ber at least 700,000, - Judging from £he spending propensities of Ameri- can tourists in previous years, this summer's delegation s expected ‘to spend at least $100,000,000. Whereas three years ago 40 per cent of the Amerfean tourists disembarked at Southampton or other English ports, and 60 per cent landed at Cherbourg and other continental ports, the Eng- Jish - tourist statisticlans are now boasting that the ratio has beenp more than reversed in favor of the British Isles. Everything is being done by British hotel keepers and other pro- fessional entertainers not only to maintatn that lead over continental attraction, but even to increase it. Besides installing thousands of Am- erican soda fountains for the benefit of those with Volsteadian thirsts, the [English are importing ever increas- ing numbers of American jazz band musicians to play for American dance ers. There are now more American jazz musicians in London, according to the statentent.of a prominent London hotel' official, than ‘in any other three European capitals combined. . In fact, the influx of Americdn musicians has reached such a stage that there have been numerous protests against al. lowing alien musicians to enter Eng- EASURE WAY KEEP RUN FROM BRITAIN Was lntroduced Into Commons by on the sald fifth day of April, and It shall not be lawful to renew any of the sald lcenses (elther wholly or In part) on any condition whatsoever, "2, From and after the said fifth day of April it shall not bo lowful for Any person or persons to manufacture, import, or sell or be concerned in the manufacture, importation, or sale of aleobolle liquors with the exception London, April 13, —~England i§ mak- land in the face of so much upem- | ployment. WOMEN EXCEL MEN Exp‘mmce of Carnegie Trust for Scotland Universities Shows Who Has Higher Moral Sense. London, April !34'—The answer to the question of whether women have a higher moral sense than men will be found in the affirmative if the ex- perience of the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland fs taken as a deciding factor. The Trust un- dertakes to provide funds for stu- dents wishing to enter colleges, and though they are under no obligation they are expected to repay what | mogey, they can.
