FATALITY ATTACHED
TO COVER FOR MUMMY
Death and Disaster for Those Who
Come in Contact with
Case

LONDON, March 27.-It would APP
pear from a lecture delivered here by
Mrs. st. Hill that there is some strange
fatality attached to the wooden cover
for a mummy belonging to lady OF
the college of the Amen-Ra at Thepes,
which stands in corner OF the First
Egyptian room at the British museum.
The lecturer stated that every one who
came into contact with the case that
had held the body of the Egyptian
princess or priestess had suffered mis-
hap or disaster and, can it coincidence
or what you will, the story behind the
coffin contains an extraordinary series
of incidents of i'll luck mischance and
even tragedy.
While there is no official ADMISSION
of these incidents, the facts which are
related below have been verified,
among others, by two distinguished
professors.
The cover. which is regarded by the
authorities as one of the best exam
pies of coffin decoration of the eight
zenith dynasty, was presented TO the
museum in 1869 by A. F. wheeler. Inc
case came into the possession, some
twenty years before this date, of par
ty of travellers in Thebes. 1t was
brought to their notice by an Arab sent
nv Mustapha Aga. What had become
of the mummy was never explained.
There were five friends in the party,
and their troubles began almost at
once. The servant of one was handing
him a gun, when, without visible cause
it exploded, the charge lodging in his
arm, which had to be amputated. A
second member of the party died in
poverty within the year, third was
shot and a fourth lost a narge part OF
his fortune and also died.
Eventually the case was brought to
England and was given by the fifth
member of the party to married sis
ter. From the day the case entered
the house misfortune followed mtsfor-
tune. and the family suffered large
financial losses
1t was at this time that the cover
was photographed and the photog-
rapher found thereon the faces of two
women, one of them being of malevo-
lent type Soon afterward the pho
tographer died; the man who carried
the cover to the museum also died and
his assistant had his arm broken.
Since it has been in its present case,
with two other covers, in the Egyptian
room two of the attendants in the room
have died

TREAT PROMISED BY
FINE ARTS LEAGUE
Twelve Canvases from the Macbeth
Gallery, New York, Will Be
Hung at first Annual
Exhibition
m HE feature of opening week at the
Ian 1.e

"HE feature of opening week at the
first annual exhibition of the Fine
- Arts league of Los Angeles will be
the twelve canvases sent from the
Macbeth gallery of New York.
The names of these exhibitors, the
period and the titles of the pictures
are given as follows:
George Innis, 1S25?1Ss4, Coming
Storm
William Morris Hunt. 1s24-1s7s,
"Ophelia.'
Arthur B. Davies. 1862, Lake and
Island"
Charles H. Davis, 1856, Breaking of
Winter"
]. Francis Murphy. 1858, hillside
Farm"
Frederick Ballard Williams. 1872.
"The Trio"
Carleton Virgins. 1S4S. "Midsum-
mer, Connecticut Valley"
William Sartain. 1S43, Waste Lands,
Burney's JOY"
Paul Daugherty, 1877, "Manana."
William H. Howe, 1916, salt
Marshes of Connecticut"
Mrs. G. B. Conan, 1884.
Pictures by William Morris Hunt are
rare, as the price paid for his
"Ophelia," $4,000, indicates, and Los An
geles is to be congratulated on the
quality of an exhibition which includes
this fine canvas
Charles H. Davis, Murphy and Sar-
tain hold front rank among American
landscape painters and are splendidly
represented.
A picture by Frederick Ballard Will
liams has just been bought by the
Metropolitan Museum, as has also one
by Sartain and one by Davis.
Arthur b. Davies was the success OF
the New York season with zone man"
shows. His work is exceedingly per-
sonal and excites the greatest interest
and controversy, his vivid imagination
not being understood by everyone. The
Metropolitan Museum has just come
into possession of one of his recent
figure pictures.
Paul Dougherty is the legitimate
successor to Winslow Horner, painting
the Maine coast with almost equal
power.
Examples by George Innis are most
difficult to secure and this one is of
unusual merit, though small.
The exhibit will be opened to the
public April 3.

ELEVATOR BOY SAVES
TENANTS FROM FLAMES
Through Young Mans AIertness
TWenty-four Families Escape
from Apartment House

NEW YORK, March 27.-Through the
alertness of an elevator boy the TWEEN
ty-four families in the fashionable
Robert apartments, in West One Hun
dred and Seventh street escaped early
today, when fire, which had started on
the fourth floor, filed the big apart
ment house with a dense smoke.
The tenants were all asleep when the
fire was discovered. Mrs. Leopold
Hersendeler, who lived on the fourth
floor with her husband and infant
daughter, was awakened by the smoke
and found the kitchen in flames
She ran to the window and raised an
alarm. The elevator boy, William Van
derporf, went to the switchboard on
the first floor, rang the telephones in
the apartments and told the occupants
to hurry to the halls and down by the
elevator.
Then he ran the elevator up and
down until everyone on the sixth floor
was taken down safely.
Many tenants reached the streets
scantily clad and most of them sought
shelter in nearby apartment houses.
The fire was confined to the fourth
floor.

in reference to this society, condernn
ing it as dangerous to the moral ana
spiritual welfare of the people, and
then he recited the signs and pass
words.
Money and Clubs
"This society, which professed to
represent the reparees OF Limerick
and Sarsfields Riders, and Rory Ogue,
and other distinguished persons in Irish
history" said Mr.. Healy, was bri-
gaded by Mr.. Devlin under the Brit
ish Lion and Unicorn and the British
Friendly Societies Act:
"A private and confidential circular
was issued by Devlin to the, members
and in consequence 223 young gentle
men who came from Belfast marcneo
to the meeting"
Here Mr.. Healy held aloft a formid-
able lockwood baton, which, he said,
was a specimen of a number that were
in sacks under the charge of Mr..
Johnston, who, as the men reached the
Mansion house, gave each of them a
green rosette and a bludgeon.
"At the close of the day." said Mr..
Healy. Mr.. Johnston, from pile of
gold before him, gave to each worker
in the vineyard who handed up his
baton, half a sovereign. Instructions
were given to the Belfast bludgeon-
men not to allow any man who had a
Cork dcceHt " Coiiio hO"i 'AiS P
FORM
Charles Kent of Dublin, steward
at the convention, stated that at eight
o'clock on the morning of the conVen-
ton he and forty other men received
from Mr. Johnston a baton which he
took from a sack on the floor. He told
them that any man who caused noise
or became in any way obnoxious was
to be thrown out by force, and that
If necessary the batons were to be
used.
About 10 a. m. a great number of
strangers came. He did not see any
batons with them, but that might be
accounted for by the fact that the
Dublin mer had been told by Mr..
Johnston to conceal their batons in
their inside pockets.

COMMITTEEMAN SAYS
POLITICIANS LEAD IN
PHILIPPINES PROTEST

WASHINGTON, March 27-Harold
w. Pitt, chairman of the committee
on reciprocal trade and special repre-
sentative of the Manila merchants as
sociation, made a statement today IN
which he declared that the opposition
on the part of the Filipino assembly on
that provision of the pending tarih bill
for free trade between the islands and
this country indicated in the dispatches
from Manila, was to have been eX-
pected.
Mr.. Pitt added:
1.-THE members of the assembly are
politicians whose desire is to hasten
the withdrawal of the United States
from the Philippines. in which event
they will be in control.
"That they do not represent the ma
terial interests and more intelligent
classes is attested by petition signed
by nearly 100000 of the responsible
business and professional people
throughout the archipelago praying for
free trade with the United States,
which is now on file with authorities in
Washington"

Los ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH %

Perrot, a fascinating Frenchwoman is
going to give her English sisters weekly
lectures on the art of love making all
through the London season. Rank and
fashion sat at the feet OF Nine. de
Perrot. who had eloquence and the art
of the elocutionist at her command, at
the Ritz hotel, last season. when she
lectured, in French, but English is to
be the language spoken at the Fortune
playhouse.
Charm of Womanhood
$50 many brilliant and clever women
in England seem to lack the charm of
womanhood and 1, want to tell them
that the qualities of the heart have
been uppermost in the greatest and
most brilliant women of all times" ex-
planned Nine. de Perrott. Intellect,
talent, accomplishments, wit, are no
barrier to charm and to the power of
loving and being loved.
This is surely where the suffragettes
make a mistake. They do not cultivate
charm. The other day at the British
museum young lady knocked into me
as she passed. Pardon me- I said to
her, but may / ask a question? Are
you a suffragette?' why, yes she
said: how did you know? Are you
one?' Because you have such manly
manners, mademoiselle, 1 said.
>"Englishwomen have had no oppor-
tunity of hearing some of the great
French love stories. There is no good
translation, for instance. of the love
letters of Heloise and Abelard, which
are in Latin. What there is is but
the shadow of the real Heloise. Later
1 will tell the love stories of the wo-
men of the French Revolution, fas-
chatting record"
