TOMB IF PHARAOH MAY BE SCENE IF 5 It LEGAL FIGHT
Egyptian Government at Outs With English Lord Over Control of Valuable
 Relics.
By ARrHUR wEIGALL


 Newspaper Alliance and London Daily Mail, the New York World and The Birmingham Age-Herald.) ) LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 13.-It Is idle to attempt further to hide the fact that all is not we'll at the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, for there have been references in the press to trouble and people are beginning to guess, if only by the delay, that something has gone wrong. Let me hasten to say that there Is nothing wrong with the tomb itself and in a few days the inner chamber will be opened and the thrill of discovery will make us forget our anxieties, but for the moment peoples nerves are decidedly on edge and one might imagine that that malevolence, which Is sometimes supposed to finger around the bones of the ancient dead. had been at work.
 The fact is, that something like 8 direct issue has arisen between Lord Carnarvon who, with Howard Carter. discovered the tomb, and the Egyptian government department of antiquities. The latter correctly as- sumes the right to inspect the tomb and have information regarding the progress of the work. and the former suggest, by a certain shortness of temper, that the intrusion is re- scented.
 Battle Develops
 It began with the government de- fiantly sending visitors to the tomb with authorizations to enter 1t, and Carter equally defiantly refusing to admit them, saying, with justice, that 1t would interrupt the work But things came to a head when To~ft frI, I,+1 were also refused access to the tomb by Lord Carnarvon. and thereupon these journalists were invited to in- spect it, over Lord Carnaryon's head, by tho angry government. Now the fight has developed into battle between the excavators, who wish to open the inner chamber where the body of the Pharaoh is believed to be. when and how they like-secret- ly some say-and the antiquities de- partment. The latter is backed up by public opinion, which has deplored the exploitation of Egypt's royal dead as private commercial enterprise, and regards the discovery as far too important for any individual hanky- panky.
 Question of Principle
 As late servant of the Egyptian government. I find my sympathies
  naturally on the side of the authori- ties who are obviously trying to keep archaeology distinct from com merce, and I am glad to see that Captain Engelbach, the British schol- ar, who is the present inspector gen. eral of antiquities, is so faithfully maintaining the dignity of his de- partment and of Egyptology in gen eral, against the rather perverse at tftude of the excavating party. The antiquities department and the gov ernment are looking broadly at the question as one of principle and are much exercised in case any unchecked exploitation of this great discovery should create a precedent and loose into Egypt hord of loot hunters native and foreign. all clamoring for publicity which seems to bring sncb wealth in it's train.
 On the other hand. Lord Carnaryon honestly does not see the damage he Is doing to the ethics of archa aeoJoey and goes his way with a curious ad-

only trust change will come over the situation before the pres ent attitude forces tha resignation of M Iacau, the French director of an- tiquities, or of Engelbach, whose high minded devotion to science is now passing through it's bitter trial Let it be understood that Lord Car narvon's work, on the technical side, is above criticism-thanks particu- larly to the generous aid of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art The only danger is one to the future excavations in this country, because of the unfortunate introduction of the commercial element now man ffesting itself in sort of plot to keep back all news until a profitable. journalistic coup, on the day of the opening of the inner chamber, has been secured.
 The only hope of combating these private interests and preventing their repetition is for instant representa- tions to be made to the Egyptian government, on the ground of archae- ologlcal principle. to assist the antiq- uities department to enforce it's pres- ence at the opening. and to arrange TOT the immediate announcement of news to all the worlds press repre- sentatives, now gathered in the val ley of the kings. If this is not done commercial precedent will be es tablished and all excavations in Egypt will have to end

Member of Chamber Finds Senti

PARIS, November 30.-The chamber
of deputies has been asked to install
a radio broadcasting apparatus. The
originator of the idea is Deputy LIE
Fagette of the department of Ariege,
who finds that his plan is variously
received. Raoul Peret, who as presi-
dent of the chamber takes no share in
the debates, is neutral. saying it is
for the chamber to decide.
Pierre Forgot, reputed to be the
finest orator in either house of parlia-
ment, finds the scheme excellent.
However, doubts are freely expressed
by those deputies who render yeoman
service on the parliamentary COM
mittees but who spare their eloQuence
on the floor Of the chamber. They
say that even should the idea be sue
cessful at first, the novelty would soon
wear off.

garded as likely candidates for posi-

Will Take Dispute Over Calling
Game to Higher Authorities

Bridgeport. Aug. 22.-President
Jack Kearney of the Fishermen is all
set for big battle with Dan O'Neil,
president of the Eastern League. The
| local president claims Dan told him
| II would do him no good to protest
the second game here Sunday between
the Senator's and Fishermen which
ended in a jam.
President O'Neil was spectator but
left the grounds after imp Rorty had
been assaulted. Kearney's argument
Iis not SO much the loss of the game
Fbut he cannot see why the league
president did not remain and find out
why Rorty did not follow instructions
which Dan gave.
II saw the president of the league
In an automobile with Thomas J.
Spellacy of Hartford" said Kearney.
II asked him how it came that the
game was called at the end of the
seventh inning when he had told me
he had instructed the umpires to go
through with it.
President O'Neil told me he would
take the blame for what happened
after the game. He said an umpire
was supposed to use some judgment
! told him would file protest and
he informed me it would do me no
good.
II want to say that if Bridgeport
is going to be the goat then I am
going to fight. I told President ONeil
some time ago that he should keep
Rorty out of Newfield Park as there
might be trouble. But could not re-
fuse Rorty admittance to the park
when he had been assigned to work
here as that would mean we would
forfeit our franchise.
II got no satisfaction from the
leagues president but may get some
from some persons higher up.
II want to find out why ] cannot
file protest with the president of our
league after one of his umpires has
violated an order issued by him.
II want to find out how it is
league president can issue an order to
an umpire, have the latter disobey it
and when the president of the club
speaks about entering a protest he is
told such action will be but a waste
of time. I'm going to place the facts
before the proper authorities and get
information as to Just what my rights
are"
O'Neil last night offered 500 re-
ward for the arrest and conviction of
the person or persons who assaulted
Umpire Rorty in Bridgeport. Rorty
was cut on the head and suffered
three broken ribs.
