Body of Princess
OF 1000 Years Ago
Unearthed at Luxor

Luxor, Egypt, Jan. 21-By A. P.)-
Interest in the tomb of King Tuten-
khamun was temporarily diverted
through the discovery by the Ameri-
can archaeologists of the body + an
Egyptian princess, 1000 years old,
and apparently one of the first The
ban dynasty which flourished 2,15O
years before Christ.
The neck of the princess IS delicat-
lv tattooed with small blush syobols
and traceries einblematic of her
caste. The body is marvelously pre-
served. The hair and teeth are in
tact. Slight intentions on the neck.

Paris, Jan. 81. (By A. P.)-Premier
Poincare, together with his colleag-
ues in the cabinet who are especially
interested in reparations, and Louis
Barthou, president of the reparations
commission, this morning pu. the
finishing touches to the French plan
which NJ. Barthou will present to the
rcparation commission tomorrow
when it begins consideration of the
reply the commission is to make to
Germany's request for a moratorium
on her payments.
M. Poincare's plan as presented to
the recent premier's conference forms
the basis of the suggestions which
M. Barthou will make to the commits
sion. The plan will be modified
slightly by the incorporation of some
ideas submitted by Benito Mussolini,
the Italian premier. Instead of an
absolute moratorium provision the
plan will provide for an interior loan
by Germany, guaranteed by the heads
of German industry, for 5000, OOO, 900
gold marks, 100000, 900 of which will
be devoted to sterilization of the
mark and the remainder to 60 to the
Allies for reparations.
All previous propositions of the
Allies and of the PREPARATION commits
sion for the reorganization of Ger
man finances will be re-affirmed. The
whole plan is to be subordinated to
the prerequisite abandonment by the
German government of all resistance
to French action in the Ruhr valley
or elsewhere in occupied territory
under the treaty of Versailles.
1t is understood on good authority
that NJ. Barthou, first of all. will say
to the commission that it is useless
to consider a moratorium to Germany
on payments under the Versailles
treaty if the German government re-
pudiates the treaty or refuses to ac-
cept application of it's terms: that
il Germany will withdraw her OPP
position to the measures which the
treaty authorizes, then it will be pos
sible to consider giving her a two
year partial moratorium.

With the important reports pre-
sented and digested. those of the
Cole and Budget Committees, and
the recommendations of Governor
Baxter in his inaugural address
keenly in mind, the legislators are
now called. on to decide what their
attitude will be in regard to the vari-
GUS resolves which will be forthcom-
ing appropriating money for this and
that purpose.
Legislators admit that it is easier
to say ECONOMY" than to practise it
and the manner in which the key
note of these reports may best be
carried out, is likely to become the
subject of considerable debate within
the next few weeks if not all through
the legislative session.
The first Monday session of the
S1st Legislature will be held at 4.3O
this afternoon. and it is anticipated
that this week the custom of holding
Friday sessions will be adopted.
Members have been warned that
with the bills already pouring in
there will be no lack of business for
many weeks to come and that to
April they must make work days
of Mondays and Fridays.
The daily sessions this week will
undoubtedly he longer. Most of the
hearings scheduled for last week
were postponed for one reason or
another but now with the commit
tees fully organized the committee
rooms will be busy places each af-
ternoon.

New York, Jan. 21.-(By A. ~P.)-
Although the financial markets
have shown themselves somewhat
sensitive to developments in the
Ruhr crisis during the past week,
their tone has been notably steady.
In most quarters this condition has
been attributed to the many signs
of good domestic business. to easy
money and to philosophical att-
tude toward the European situation
That the country's supply of funds
is abundant is testified to by both
the behavior of the money market

To Send Organizers
To Southern Mills

Manchester. n. H.. Jan. 21.-Thomas
+. Mcmahon of the L. Il. w., at a mass
meeting of textile workers tonight de-
clared that in 10 days thre organic
ers would proceed to the South to
start on their work of unionizing the
cotton mills. He said that just where
the work in the South would begin is
being kept secret for fear that the or
ganizers would be denied offices for
headquarters when they arrived. He
cautioned the textile workers not to
take seriously the threat that northern
cotton mills would take up locations in
the South. as water there is not fit to
use in the manufacture of cotton
CLOTH" which would augment the cost
of, production.
Mr.. Mcmahon stated the average
weekly wage of the textile worker in
the Amoskcag Corporation was S16.41.
but that in Fall River the wage was
worse than that which prevails in the
South.

DIR. Grant Fails to
Retract in ulpit
May Try for Heresy

New York. Jan. 21.-Dr. Percy Stick
ney Grant in the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the Ascension, crowded as
never before. reaffirmed today the ut
terances which prompted Bishop Will
liam L. Manning to make a formal de-
mand Friday that he either recant or
resign from the ministry.
Speaking from the pulpit of the Fifth
avenue church in which he has been
rector for so years. DR.. Grant failed
to retract single one of the state
ments which caused Bishop Manning s
action and led churchmen to discuss
the probability of trial for heresy.
Instead Of retracting, DR.. Grant re-
peated
Your son comes home from college,"
DR.. Grant said in closing" You say,
Son. let's go to church. Do you want
your son to reply. Father don't ask
me to listen to all that bunk"
At the same hour members Of st.
Simeon's Episcopal church in the
Bronx passed a resolution calling upon
the bishop and the ecclesiastical au-
thorities to take steps to enforce the
law and "canonS Of the church in such
cases made and provided"
The resolution charged that DR..
Grant had cast reproach on the sane
tity of holy matrimony: had made
statements tending to the encourage
ment of violation of the ordination
vows of the clergy; had denied the mi
| raculous elements of the gospel, the
divinity of Jesus Christ, and the Chris
tian faith as contained in the Apostle
| Creed"
Even the aisles of the Church of the
Ascension, one of the Fashionable
| places of worship of the metropolis,
were crowded during Dr. Grants SER
mon. The divorced wife of the mil
| lionaire w. L. d. Stokes. Mrs. Philip
lydig. fiancee of DR.. Grant, sat in the
| first pew. DR.. Grant announced his
engagement several months ago, de-
| spite the canonS of the EpiScopa
church against the re-marriage of those
divorced.
The close of DR.. Grants sermon
brought sudden silence. then great
burst of applause. Silent spots
sprinkled in the spaces of the church
marked the pews of those less enthus-
lastlc or. perhaps. antagonistic. The
! applause ceased for a moment. then
was renewed as forcibly as before DR..
! Grant hesitatcd. and left the pulpit.

present his intention to go to Paris,
that the idea prevails in Stockholm
the present moment is inorportune
