down in the Gaffney bowling alleys
as being one of the best and consis-
tent bowlers of his age who play
there, generally piling up the stu
pendous score of 40 to $50 every
game, was drafted by the Alumni
team one evening last week to play
with them in a match game against
the Knights of Columbus For some
reason, Bud was not in form aid
only rolled SO. AS a result the AL
umni were defeateds Investigation
has developed that A. ]. DeNoyer
captain of the KC's, may have had
something to do with Buds failure
to carry his team to victory. He is
known to have had some private
conversation with Bud just before
the game started and the Alumni are
inclined to think that it was another
case of the man higher III" getting
in his work merry nicely.

Whereas, figures are frequently
given to show that the freight on farm
produce to a central market is great
er than the price the farmer receives
at home and the Railroad received
more for the mere act of transporta-
ton of crops than the farmer receiv-
ed for his entire years labor,-the
high freight rate also adds much to
the cost of the manufactured goods
that the farmer buys.
THEREFORE,, be it resolved by the
Wisconsin State Grange that we reit-
crate our demand that we made last
year for the repeal of the so-caIIed
Guarantee Clause" of the Esch-Cum-
minis Law and ask at once that a
substantial reduction be made in
freight rates on all products, especial
Iy over those railroads that have vot-
ed excessive dividends or stock divi-
dends.

DEATH BY EVIL SPIRIT POSSIBLE
SAYS DOYLE.

The theory that spirit had killed
Lord CeTnaryon Tor invading the TOMB
of Tut-ankh-Amen is probable" one
according to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
who asserted here yesterday that theIu
were spirits of the killing type
He did not say positively that he
thought there was som ething supernat
urdl about the death of Lord Carnar
Won. but he was of the opinion that a
supernatural agency might well have
stepped nand killed the excavator.
The talk OF an attack on Lord Car

about the powers of the old Egyptians

ing about their tombs and mummies.
There have been other instances of
persons who met with unfortunate
ends under similar circumstances. We
know that all the powers Of the an
cient Egyptians were used to guard
their mummies and they must have
had great powers. or course. l don't
say that some Egyptian spirit did Kill

There are many maleyolent spirits.
There was mummy in the Brit

caus e of the series of misfortunes
which befell those who had anything
to 10 with it. The excavators the
workmen who carried it. the photogra
piers who photographed it and others
seemed to be pursued by an evil influ-
ence."
Sir Arthur said that friend of his
a British journalist became very much
interested in the tenacious curse which
seemed to hang over this mummy. But
the deadliness of the curse had not yet
been exhausted. The journalist soon
died of typhoid.
ROBBERS NOT DEFERRED
1t was pointed out yesterday by
Psychologists that hundreds of others
had broken into tombs supposedly PRO
tected by similar curses and had livcl
long and useful lives afterwards.

published stories on the curse theory
of Lord Carnarvon's death.
"An Egyptian king wasn't worried
about what men were going to do long
after his death. He decorated his grave
and ordered luxurious trappings to be
buried with him so that these articles
might placate tire forty-two gods whose
approval he must win before his soul
might find peace. His interest were

ry out OF rare book written original
ly in Arabic. 1t was pointed out yester
day by DR.. Caroline Ransom Williams
Psychologist of the New York Histor
icai Society, that this book could nave
no bearing on the case, for the reason
that the Arabian writer wrote at a per
iod when the ancient Egyptian langu-
age was unknown and could have mad
no real information about ancient
Egyptian burials.
Interesting light on tomb-robbing is
furnished by several papyrus docu-
ments of the time of Ramesses TX. OF
the Twentieth dynasty, notably the
Abbott, Meyer and Amherst papyri,
which tell of the trial of tombrobbers
and contain transcripts OF their profes
lsions. How lightly the ancient Egypt
ian regard the curses and other protec
tive devices about the tombs is indicat
ed by the fact that the tomb of every
ancient Egyptian monarch was pluh-
de! ed in antiquity. The tomb of Tut
IT nkh-Amen himself was plundered, al
though loot was taken only from the
outer chambers. Lord Carnaryon found
laiopce beads in the masonry OF the
doorway to the inner mortuary cham
Der, making it seem probable that the
very workmen who sealed the tomb
took what they could lay their hands
on.
Nor have modern Egyptians, in
spite of their superstition refraimed
froIa plundering. DR.. Williams said
that when the mummy of Amen-Hotep
Il. was restored to its tomb within re-
cent years, certain natives refused to
acc. pit the statement that the mummy
had been completely plundered In an
Gent times. They therefore broke into
the tomb. unwrapped and roughly
handled the mummy. The tomb viola
tors were arrested but public senti-
meLt on the subject of reverence for
the ancient dead was so dormont in
the native court that the men could
not he convicted
Although superstition has not pre-
vented the plundering of tombs by an
cient Egyptians and their modern des.
cendants the ordinary Egyptian of to
day is superstitious on the subject.

natives had seen an awe-inspiring por

DIR. KUNZ TALKS ON CURSES.
d.. George F. Kunz discussed the
curse theory yesterday in the follow
ing statement:
What was thought about such re-
m. walls in two far distant periods and
by reigning King end a king among
authors, appears from the mortuary in
scripions on the Sarcophagus OF Esh-
m ':n2o-. a Phoeuic.an King of the six h
century b. c., and from the strange
line cat in Shakesr cares gravestone

The Phoenician casts his curse on
the desecrator in no uncertain tone.
for he says:
Let there be no resting place
among The Rephain for the man; even
if he be of royal lineaga who ventures
to open this chamber OF repose or re-
move The sarcophagus in which I am
at rest"
twenty-five hundred years later in
far-away England, the supreme lord Of
our literature expenses the same sen.i
mint in an equally emphatic way in
the following lines:
Good friend for Jesuss sake for
bear
To dig the dust enclosed here:
Blest be the man that spares these
stones
And curst be he that moves my
bones"
THUS in both, with all their dispar-
ity OF origin. we have an unmistakable
record of what the past thought abou;

THE FINAL. CONCLUSION

In the meantime, the Grand Lolge
OF virginia, througir counsel aa' he

emphasized the fac that the GRAM!
Lodge of Virginia was not Sinking It's
duty. 1t would meet all constitution
al obi cations Ia the Supreme Loug.
ana would pay N.ey as contribu-
ton or as gift, but from a staul-
point of principles would not recognize
by force the imposition OF an unconsti
tutionai tax. If the Supreme Lodge is
Ill earnest as expressed by counsel and
VIII not and does not insist upon the
collection of the money as tax; the
controversy between the Grand Lodge
X. Of p, Of Virginia and the Supreme
Lodge may be said to be ended.

THE LEGAL ASSESSMENT

At the session Of the Virginia
Grand Lodge at Bristol 1903 it passed a
resolution assessing its members, IN
what it regarded as legal way the
sum of twenty cents per member for
the two years and out of this fund
realized $690!30. which amount 1t paid
over to the Supreme Lodge at the In.
dianapolis session. Having agreed to
raise this money, why was it, it did not
pay it's full quota as it promised to
do? Attorney Lesh pointed out that the
Supr eme Chancellor had never demand
ed the payment of this quota of taxes.
but had included four years taxes
two years Of which were the Supreme
Lodge taxes. against which Va, had
protested. Virginia was ready to pay
the balance of the taxes, which it hal
levied in its own right. 1t had sent UP
all that was collected The provision
of the Virginia tax levy provided that
this money should be used for the de-
Tense Of the Order and when the SUI
preme Keepe rof Records and Seal re-
ported that the money was being used
for salaries travelling and other ex-
penses. the Virginia members would
not pay the tax.

C. X. ROBINSONlS REPORT

Past Grand Chancellor c. X. Robin
son had made this report. This then
constituted the cruX Of the argument
until Attorney Henry f. Davis assert
ed that the Supreme Lodge was not eX
polling the Grand Lodge Of Virginia
for the failure to pay any tax. Grand
Chancellor John Mitchell. Jr., of Vir-
ginia was on the stand. while the argu
merit went on and but few questions
were asked him while counsel were
engaged in legal tits raising ques-
tiore OF law. which could only be de-
cided finally by another ruling from
the Court of Appeals of the District or
Columbia. DR.. E. r. Jefferson, Grand
Master of Exchequer of the Grand
Lodge Of Virginia was an interested
observer. He was to have followed the
Grand Chancellor Of Virginia on the
N+and. One feature of the case was the
fraternizing Of the Virginians with
the Supreme Lodge officials.
