wounded here last night by German
security police who interfercd In a
cafe alteration. The tension, which
already was high. has been increased
bythe shooting, and today the French
moved tanks into the city.
Trouble III Cafe.
The shooting incident arose from
the soldiers demanding drinks in the
cafe and being met with a.refusal by
a waiter. A row was started, the Sc
curity police appeared and, the
French claim. fired the first shot.
A guard of Freuch soldiers has
been placed in the Essen branch of
the Reichsbank, but is is explained
as a measure to protect the supply of
electric current to theKaiserhof Hotel,
the French headquarters, which is fed
through the banks transmitter.
Shot ny sentry.
several cases of attempted sabotage
were reported during the night from
various parts of the Ruhr. One in
stance resulted in the death OF Ger

The acts of sabotage were directed
particularly against the lines of COM
munication. During the night addi-
tional telephone and telegraph wire

headquarters there considerably in
keeping in touch with the Ruhr de-
velopments.

Is Greatest Discovery.

New York. Feb. l6.-The tomb OF
Pharaoh Tut-ankh amen opened by
explorers today In the valley OF the
Kings near l.uzon, rs by far the
richest treasure trove ever uncovered
In the metropolis OF ancient Thebes.
and In all likelihood Is the richest
that ever will be discovered,a Ambrose
Lansing. acting curate of the Egyp-
tian section OF the Metropolitan mu-
scum OF art. declared today.
Tombs of practically all the early
rulers of Egypt have been accounted
for. most of them thoroughly looted
by native. grave diggers. said Mr..
Lansing. who has spent much time
himself with Metropolitan expeditions
delving in the old burial places.
Only Few Left.
"There are only two or three royal
tombs left to look for" and they are
those of. lesser kings-for instance.
those of Semenkhare, who reigned for
a few months before Tut-ankh amen
and Ay. who reigncd for an equally
short time after Tut-ankh-amen
death.
"All the others have been opened.
a few by Psychologists, but the most
by vandals who left nothing of i'm
portance behind.
Equipment Worth Millions.
1.-THE Itinerary equipment. much. of
1t heavily encrusted with gold and
semi-precious stones is valued in the
millions.
But treasures of greater value, in
the eyes of the Egyptologists-bits of
history data of the era antedating
Christ by thirteen and half centur-
ies--are hoped for when the hiero

Fascinating Theory.
One of the most fascinating theories
the records in the tomb may confirm
or explode is that advanced by Ar
thur Wiegalf former inspector gen.
eral of antiquities to the Egyptian

Snown Psychologists that Tut-ankh-
amen was the Pharaoh who expressed
The children of Israel and whose |
army, pursuing the Israelites at the |
lime of the exodus is declared in I
Biblical accounts to have been swal-
owedu pin the Red sea. He called I
himself Monotheistic worship of Atom,
In the midst of his eight year

urn to the Polytheistic to worship his
ancestors.

The proposal TO name local fire

no favor with Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa

was heartily in accord with the fire
boards action in opposing the ap-
pointment OF Chief w. j. Noble TO

grets the action OF the state In dis

mer New Britain fuel administrator.
Harry c. Brown, whom he considered
a valuable man, and fails to see the
wisdom of such a policy. especially
since he was giving his services gratis,
involving no expense to the city or
state.
Regarding proposed legislation
anent the subject of fuel administra-
tors, the mayor was unable to 'ex-
press any opinion since reports con-
cerning the law he felt were not suf-
iiciently ineligible to indicate what
it is proposed to accomplish by the
new regulations.
Superintendent Robert Hurley of
the state police department has been
quoted as being in favor of the dis
placement of any fire marshal who
either would not serve or who would
not be allowed by his fire board to
act. He is also reported TO be in
favor of law which would require
