REFUSES TO TESTIFY Fail Raises Legal Points In With, Y holding Information z

.WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 Albeft B. Fall, who has furnished Washington with number of sensations in recent weeks, provided still another today, when he refused to testify before the Senate oil committee and questioned that body's authority. Mir. Falls brief appearance and the testimony before the House naval committee of Rear Ad- miral Robison in explanation of the fuel tank construction at Pearl Har- bor, comprised the activities of Con- gress in the Teapot Dome row, the glamor of which was subdued by the shadow of Woodrow Wilson's illness. Admiral Robison defended construction contract on the grounds of national de- fense.
 The Senate was not in session today, having adjourned over until Monday, when the resolution seeking the retire ment of Secretary Denby will be taken up again. The House passed a bill giving congressional sanction to the settlement of the debt of Finland, after which it proceeded to debate on the post office and treasury appropriation bill. Chaplain Montgomery in his prayer made a supplication for Mir. Wilson.
 At the request of the navy depart ment, Chairman Butler of the naval committee introduced a bill to author ize a $07 900, 900 construction program.
 Statement Is Prepared.
 Mir. Fall read this prepared state ment:
 T decline to answer the questions for the following reasons and on the following grounds: The committee is conducting an investigation under Sen ate resolution 282, agreed to April 21, 1922, in the eighty ty-seventh Congress and in Senate resolution 294, agreed to May 15, 1922, in the same Congress, and further by virtue of Senate reso- lution 434, agreed to by the Senate on February 5, 1923, during the same Con gress, and l do not consider that acting under those resolutions, or under the last mentioned resolution which author iZes the committee to sit after the exx- piration of the sixty-seventh Congress. until the assembling of the sixty-eighth Congress and until otherwise ordered by the Senate, this committee has any authority to conduct the investigation now attempted to be conducted by the addressing of this question me.

! 10 RAISE HID OF \
 1 COFFIN OF TUT.
Fourth Shrine Now Stands Fully Disclosed In Its Gleam- ing, Golden Beauty

! LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 2.-(By As sociated Press.)-With steady strides, considering the bewildering difficulty /, of the work, the excavators in the tomb of Tutankhamen are approaching the crowning stage of their labors-the opening of the great pink stone coffin. | Good progress was made this week with the work of dismantling the three outer shrines. so that with the removal of the two side cornices of the third shrine this morning, the fourth casket now stands disengaged save for the walls of the third shrine, and fully dis closed in its sleaming golden, beauty. As Howard Carter draws nearer to the heart of this bizarre, beautiful nest of shrines, evidence accumulates that the body of the mystery PharOah is still within. Tucked away in the cor !, ners and the narrow spaces between | the different caskets have been found successive such attributes of royalty as the kings scepters, maces of gilded wood inlaid with faience and now. &ithin the last few days. the discovery of two great ostrich feather fans with gilded handles more than three and a
 
 cartouches giving the kings family name and official title. proclaims that the body of the Pharaoh is indeed close at hand
 Fan Bearers H0nOred
 For these fans. which have been a symbol of royalty in the Orient through the ages and are recently de- picted in muriel relief in the ancient ,,1o eIn ho- hind the monarch by great nobles who were honored by the charge even as to- day in Rome great fans are borne close beside the sedia Gestatoris, bearing the pope.
 i Were further indications required they would be found in the protective goddesses of death with tenderly spreading wings which are beautifully depicted in gilded gesso on the covering of the fourth casket. similar to the goddesses distinguished by the excava- tor, in their brief glimpse of the coffin q month ago.
 MT. Carter was at, first extremely fourth casket presented. Obviously his first move would be to take off the doors. which in the case of the other shrines was not an operation of great l OlHlcultN. T UT tHe rest, nOWeNeT, LHe shrine appeared to be in one piece and how to dismantle it without damage in the narrow space at his disposal was a problem. N
 Shrine In Sections
 Closer inspection today showed that, after all, the shrine is in sections like the others. As result of this after noon's work. by means. of wedges, Mir. Carter succeeded in raising the roof of the shrine about Is tnches,, disclosing part of the lid of the sarcophagtis be- heath. One of the next things to be lone is to provide ,the elaborate tackle of pulleys and ,diferentiaI gear re- luired to raise the immensely heavy lid of the sarcophagus.:
 Mir. Carter conferred all the morning at his home on the edge of the Valley of the Kings with his lawyer, who ar rived unexpectedly from Alexandria presumably in connection with the long drawn out negotiations proceeding be- tween the Egyptian government and the excavators regarding the control of the lomb.

GERMANY NEEDS
 FINANCIAL AID
Experts Told Foreign Loan Is Only Way To Stabilize Ma
 tions Currency
sy sIRpyNAMD sAHN (Le6ssl Win fs Tha Ape- Heraid)

BERLIN, Feb. Germany has put squarely up to th6 committee of ex- perts her conviction, that restabilizd- ton of herscurrency, held to be the first and most important step toward repara- tions settlement, is dependent on. out side financial aid and. the return of the Ruhr and the Rhineland to the mother republic.
 In a memorandum to Gen. Charles G. Dawes and the other members of his committee Saturday, it is declared that this is the only way in which normal currency" can be restored. The memorandum has not yet off cially been made public, but it's con tents were revealed Saturday night. 1t presents the prospect of economic recov- cry, especially by the railroads, if Ger many and her industries are given a chance. n
 The government claims that the "rentenmark," the temporary currency, is stable, but insists that it must be re- placed by n permanent gold currency. Germany condition described as "convalesccnce after the crisis" and the memorandum says the, situation is gravely aggravated, byE the separation from the Reich. of Huhr and. Rhineland, and the hampering of currency and public finance relations between the oc- cupied and unoccupied areas.
 Sad Picture
 A sad picture is painted of Ger many, in mid-January, with three mil lion men unemployed and half as many more working on but part time sched- ules. This, the memotandum points out, is in itself a tremendous drain on the republic. .,
 The railroads, it is shown, earned a surplus of 500,0O0;O0O marks before the war, as compared with deficit of something like 2,O00,0 GOO gold marks in 1922. N 7'
 Germany's shipping, before the war, amounted to 5,000,0O0 tons last year it was but half that. Her commerce fig ures before the war showed 1000, 900 tons imported and 10000, 900 exported. while in 1922, the imports were 6 6,3O0.- 900 and 6,200,000 exports.
 Before the war, Germany's laborers received an average wage of 35 marks week; in November last they received IS marks-in American dollars-an average of $4.50.
 Pre-war Germany covered a < food shortage by importing one-fifth of her food supplies; now she has lost much territory through the Versailles treaty, the memorandum declares.

est is felt here i'll the fate of several
foreigners. Tomler, d leading mer-
chant of Leningrad. who was ar
rested five months ago. is still await
ing trial on the charge of economic
espionage. Tomler was interested in
certain Murmansk timber properties
and he secured a copy of a govern
ment report about them.
The German government regards
this case as of the greatest lnpor-
tance and it demands that Russia
shall give Tomler an early and open
trial. 1t has engaged two of the fore
most German lawyers, Freunder ana
Alsberg. to defend him. Several of
the governments represented here
agree concerning the Importance or
the issue and viii send their consuiar lri
officials to attend the trial. the
maximum penalty for economic es-
pionage is death.
Dutch Envoy Exiled.
The Dutchman. Schmidt. who was
left in charge of the Netherlands le-
cation, was arrested five months ago

merce. was arrested six months ago
