Noah's Ark Wasn't Ship; 1t
Was Great CheOps Pyramid,
Noted EgyptOIOgist Says

He is also convinced that the
pyramids stand today living mon
ument to an old and noble philos-
ophy, a civilization greater than
any human race has since attained.
His explanation of the feat per-
formed by these ancient engineers
is that they were of race infinite
ly more spiritual than modern
man; that their power lay in great
er understanding of the universe
and it's laws. For instance, he said,
his researches indicate that those
ancients, prior to 10000 years ago,
had no language, needed no Ian
guage. They had the gift of trans
ference of Thought, higher, finer
comprehension of what we call
telepathy, and as language was
born into the world for the use of
human beings, this spirituality was
gradually lost to u.s.
Knew "Powcr of Light
I'm like manner" Dr. Getzinger
continued, they understood the
power of light to lessen the weight
of mass objects-a fact which mod
ern experiments are even now
making evident"
Some knowledge of this kind, DR..
Getzinger thinks, made possible
the handling of those huge blocks
of limestone and granite of which
the pyramids are constructed"

Los Angeles, Cal, June 16.-
Noah's ark, built to save human
and animal life from the food OF
ancient biblical times, is still ex-
tant for all to see, 10000 years aft
er its construction This is the be-
lief Of DR.. E. C. Getzinger, Egyptol-
ogist, now visiting here His con-
clusion is based, he declares, on re-
cent discoveries, following 35 years
of research work, some OF the re-
suits of which he described in an
address before the Friday Morning
club.
DR.. Getzinger is convinced that
the ark of Noah was not a ship {;
that it was the great pyramid OF
Cheops in Egypt. Near the top OF
each of the pyramids, at the same
level, is a high water line where
a deep niche has been cut into the
rock by the lashing of a long-for-
gotten surf-the surf of the flood
which inundated the ancient bibn-
cal world, he declared.
PharaOhs Not Builders.
DR.. Getzinger is convinced the
pyramids were built thousands OF
years before the reign of the Pha-
raohs. The latter, to whom they
have been accredited, merely re-
paired them and caused casing OF
stones to be built over them, he
said.

CHANG is GIVEN
GREATER POWER
Manchurian Provinces Proclaim
New Government; Name Him
Commander of All Troops.

Mukden, Manchuria, June 10
CBy the Associated Press. Proc
lamation of a new form of govern
ment throughout Manchuria, pub
Iished today by assemblies repre-
senting the thre provinces, provides
that each province shall govern it
self, while recognizing Manchuria
as still a part of China, and name
Chang Tso-Lin commander-in-
chief of all troops.
General Chang, whose army has
been hard pressed since its recent
defeat by the troops of Wu Pei-Fu,
before Peking, assumed office
as generalissimo of Manchuria on
June 4. The official announcement
SAYS the proclamation was drawn
by an inter-provincial chamber OF
commerce., educational depart
ments and artisans unions.
The assembly, claiming to act on
behalf of all the people OF Man
churia, named Chang commander
for the maintenance of peace and
order in connection with new plan
for self-government.
He accordingly accepted a seal
of Office and ordered flags display
ed in honor of the event.
It is understood that the inten-
ton is to make Manchuria virtually
independent, but to continue to call
it q part of China.
The Manchurian provinces are
Holungkiang, Kiran and Shengking.

Currier Reads Ponderous
Tabulation to Trial
Jury.

Waukegan, H., June 16-(By the
Associated Press)-Tracing the
travels of the s27,94S, 500 loaned by
the state treasury to the Grant
Park bank, Donald Currier, ac-
countant for the prosecution in the
trial of Governor Len Small, today
continued his recital of the sum-
mary of the states evidence. The
jurors, furnished with copies of
Mr.. Curriers' tabulation, which fills
seven typewriter sheets three feet
wide and two feet deep, followed
the reading closely.
Line by line the witness followed
the draft on the treasury through
the Fort Dearborn and Livestock
Exchange banks of Chicago, where
other notes of the Chicago packers
were purchased, and~then traced
the interest discount on the notes
and the eventual return of the prin-
cipal to the state.
Delay Is Avoided.
An anticipated delay this morn
ing, due to a hanging scheduled to
take place in the courthouse was
removed last night when Governor
Small granted the condemned man
sixty days reprieVe.
By a decision of Judge Claire c,
Edwards last night, following ar
gument over defense objection to
Mr.. Curriers' testimony, the prose
cution's. accountant will be per-
mitted today to testify not only To
figures taken from his summary OF
the states evidence, but also to his
deductions necessary to complete
certain transactions. His conclu-
sions, when not based on mathema-
tical deductions and all statements
smacking of argument, will be
barred, however.

Today is the governors sixtietf
birthday. He spent the day as us
ual in court, accompanied by his
daughter and son-in-law, Captain
and Mrs. Jack Inglish. The COVER
nor will leave this afternoon for his
home in Kankakee, to spend the

REPUBS ARE
OPPOSED To
DRY SHIPS
Will Fight Against Stop
ping Liquor Sale on
u. S. Boats.

Washington, June 16.-Without a
record vote the house merchant
marine committee today rejected
the Bankhead amendment to the
ship subsidy bill providing that nc
government aid should be allowed
ships on which liquor was Sold
The Edmonds proposal which
would extend the Volstead law to
the sea by fning all ships Of any
registry touching American ports
on which liquor selling was permit
ted, was not acted on, and the com
mittee ordered the bill reported by
straight party vote.
Washington, June 16.-With Re-
publican members of the house
merchant marine committee under
stood virtually to have agreed to
oppose the proposal to stop the sale
of liquor on American ships by de-
nying the federal aid provided in
the subsidy bill to ships on which
such sale is made, another amend
ment to the bill, proposing 3 fine
for the sale of liquor on any ship
during a voyage starting or ending
at an American port, was before the
committee today for consideration
The latter proposal, offered by
Representative Edmonds, Republi-
can, of Pennsylvania, as a substi-
tute for the first amendment pre-
sented by Representative Bank
head, Democrat, of Alabama, and
discussed informally by the com
mittee yesterday, would have the
effect of putting American ships on
a parity with those of other nations
which do not have prohibition. In
addition to providing a fine of $1O,-
600 for the first and second Of
fense, the final penalty would be t0
prohibit the entrance of ship tc
American ports. - '--- - '--
Conflicts With Treaties.
After the proposal was discussed
by majority committeeman yester-
day, the view was expressed III
some quarters that it conflicted
with many of the nations CONNER
cial treaties.
Meanwhile, in the executive
, branch, although officials were un-
derstood still to be discussing the
question today, there had been nc
| developments beyond the indication
at the treasury department that At
/ orney-General Daugherty might be
asked soon for a ruling on the le'
gality of liquor selling on American
ships. In this connection Mr.
Daugherty said that if such re
quest was made, it would be actet
on as speedily as possible.

- Lester Williams, the young law
yer, whose plea Governor Small an
swered with a sixty-days' stay of
execution, prepared to take the case
again to the supreme court which
yesterday denied writ of superse-
deas.
Witness Was Periurer.
Williams began his fight armed
with an affidavit by a Kenosha
(Wis.) saloonkeeper, who admitted
perjury in Potz' trial. The saloon
keeper testified that Potz and his
companions were sober when they
left the Kenosha saloon on the
night Peterson was shot, but said
in his affidavit that he gave the
testimony through fear of prosecu-
ton for selling liquor to Potz and
his friends.
Last nights hearing was held in
the court room where Governor
Small is on trial on charges of con-
spiracy to defraud the state. VIII
liams in his plea, said Potz had
been pushed through a speedy trial
and "railroaded' to the gallows sc
Judge Claire C. Edwards could hear
the governors own trial.
