PRIEST PREDICTS
DEATH OF MAN
WHO FOUND TUT
CarnarvOn Passes Few
Hours Later-Bitten
By Insect

Only few hours before Lord Car
narvon died this direful prediction
was uttered in Paris and wirelessed
to America by Universal Service.
At the time the noted explorer S
death was not expected:
"Paris, April 4.
Lord Carnarvon will die when the
moon is at full. The curse of AL
lah is on him as the disturber of
the Tomb of a Pharaoh. ~
This dramatic pronouncement
was made by Abdullah Ben Alba,
priest of the Arab mosque in the
Montmartre, to the Faithful last
night.
"When Tut-Ankh-Amen died he
foretold the doom of whoever dis
turbed his rest. -Four thousand
years are nothing when Allah lays
Il curse said Abdullah.
"Lord Carnarvon mysterious
Illness is not pneumonia. 1t is de
cay of the vital organs, which is
always the way the curse works. -
Death Predicted
CAIRO, April 5.-The Earl of
Carnarvon died peacefully ut , o.
clock this morning. He was con
scious almost to the end.
His death was due to blood pois-
oning through the bite of an insect
with the later development of pneu
monia.
Lord Carnarvon whose family
name was George Edward Stanhope
Molyneaux Herbert, was the fifth
earl of Carnarvon.
He was born June 26, 1866, son
of the fourth earl of Carnarvon and
his wife, Evelyn, daughter of the
sixth earl of Chesterfield.
lie was married in 1895 to AL.
nina Wombwell. Following his early
education at Eton he continued to
Trinity College, Cambridge. He was
exceedingly wealthy, owning ap-
proximately $4,000 acres, and was IL
prominent clubman.
The illness which caused his
death was attributed directly to
the bite of n poisonous insect short
ly after his memorable exploration
of the tomb of King Tut-Ankh-
Amen.
Other wierd condolences were
pointed to in the illness of Lord
Cornarvon wife enroute to his
bedside, the sudden stroke of ap-
pendicitis of Lady Carnarvon
maid the day before the tomb was
opened, the cobra that swallowed
Carnarvon s pet canary and the
widespread plague of boils that
swept Europe the day the tomb
was finally opened.

3 to "Bughouse"

Wild tales fitted through the air
in department No. l of the superior
court yesterday afternoon, and spec
tators had Il hard time maintaining
necessary court decOrGm as three un-
fortunates went through the form
ality of insanity tests, their distort-
ed brains leading them to tell of
weird phantasies that aroused
mingled feelings of sympathy and
mirth in those who heard them.
John Britncll, he who would con
vert the world, was present with a
grudge against the court and all
its attaches, because they would
not be saved and had refused him
permission to hold a celestial mar
riage in the courthouse last Satur-
day.
After several strenuous days try
ing to convert the unbelievers at
the county farm, John spent Tues
day night and Wednesday ut the
county Jail, after he had developed
a tendency to force at the county
{, farm. lie passed his time at the
Jail preaching and exhorting, now
| and then clapping his hands with
n noise that resembled machine
gun.
/ Doesn't Act Crazy!
Superintendent Adams, of the
county farm, thinks John may not
possibly be so crazy after all lie
persuaded several inmates at the
farm not to eat any of the food, say
| ing it was food Of the devil and
poisoned, and then proceeded to
eat not only his own food, but that
of the inmates who had listened tC
his line of argument. After a long
h;,rrangue to the court, Judge Cole
committed him to, the state hOspita
at Norwalk. St &Sk u
Roy Moss, who told weird story
of stars turning into airplanes an'
men turning to bugs in the police
court several weeks ago, was com
mitted to the state asylum at Pat
ton after all efforts to get any in
formation out of him had failed.
John Rowan, who wants tt
"leave. this Tabernacle of the En-
glish language and 60 to Egypt
where English is not spoken was
the last member of the trio and
one Of, those who refused to eat. at
! the county farm, partly due to the
suggestion of John Britnell that the
food was poisoned. Rowan was al
so committed to Norwalk.
The men will be taken tomorrow
to the institutions to which they
were committed.

 The morning programs assemble the best that the city affords and each concert in itself Is an artistic treat-'worth the price of the mem bership, one often hears.
 Will the Dream Come Trues
 My dream for the future of the club is that the community work started this fall may be the means of developing the musical talent in every organized unit--that these units will be a recognized force in each district for raising the musical standard until the public will auto matically demand the very best music everywhere. That our public will know good music, and love 1t, that our children will hear good music and want nothing else, that we may attract to our city more mu- sicians, good orchestra men. support larger orchestras In our movie houses and theatres, and eventually have a symphony orchestra of our own.
