VIEW Of PHARA0H'S

Use of Roentgen Rays.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LUXOR, Egypt. January 5.-For the
present at least and probably for some
time to come, 1t will be impossible to
get a comprehensive view Of the gigan-
tic granite sarcophagus OF Pharaoh
Tut nkh-Amen, surrounded as it is by
the nest of shrines.
There is abundant evidence. how
ever, to show that il fully bears out
the surmise of the Psychologists that
the sarcophagus of Tut-ankh- Amen the
Magnificent IN everywise would be
worthy of the great era of art in which
that pharaoh reigned. The coffin Of
Harmahib. his successor. which now
lies in the depths of Harmahib's ruined
tomb not 400 yards from the resting
place of Tut t-ankh-Amen, is also of pink
ish stone, and is of a purity of design
and delicacy Of workmanship that rep
at its best, notably the protective god
desses at the four corners. covering
with outspread wings. as 1t were, the
body of the dead king.
1t Is considered probable that the
e1cavators will arrange for view of
the sarcophagus in it's shrines for the
official world within the next week
or so. 'rE
As Mr. Carter is sanguine Of being
able to radiograph the contents Of the
coffin through the stone. there Is some
speculation as to whether, now that
the sarcophaguS has been found, he
may not alter his previously announced
decision not to employ Roentgen rays
on the tomb, this season.

Raid on Apartment of J. J.
Lynch Reopens Bootleg
Scandal in High Life.
LIST OF NAMES FOUND;
CHOICE. LIQUORS TAKEN
Asher Conducts Coup-More Ar
rests Expected From Evidence
Obtained.

Another liquor scandal. involving
foreign diplomatic names which may
be yet linked to the Christmas con-
spiracy cases. developed today when
police and prohibition agents started
to follow developments from the ar
rest Of John ]. Lynch of 1928 G street
and Frank Ceccarelli of Boston last
night.
The arrest was made In the apart
ment Of J. L. Asher. prohibition agent.
who worked up the case in associa-
tion with Lieut. Davis and Sergt. Nc
Quade of the vice squad.
1t is known that Lynch's name was
handed to the vice squad to start an
investigation several months ago. out
Of which grew the eleven arrests just
before Christmas that caused a scan
dal in the National Capital.
Letter to Diplomat.
Among the items seized last night
In Lynch's apartment, according to
Asher, was d letter to diplomat of
the Honduran legation relating to the
release of a large quantity Of liquor
from a bonded warehouse. A list of
names also was found. as Welt as
about $4,000 worth of the finest i'm
ported liquor.
Asher said today that the Lynch case
was not yet completed. and that other
arrests might be expected. He left
Washington hurriedly this afternoon.
and is believed TO- be in a nearby city
working on another angle of the case.
Although the police have not yet
called into collaboration on this case
the special Intelligence agents of the
Treasury Department, it is known
that the. vice squad regards this ar
rest as the Keystone Of the cases
started when the eleven arrests on
conspiracy charges were made on
December 81.
Claims Admission.
According to Asher. Lynch admitted
to- him before he knew his fdentity
that he WAS obtaining his stun from
the alleged Scarborough -Morris-Lam-
An attempt is also being made to
get a lineup on persons believed to
be financially interested in the opera :
tions OF the latest person arrested.
Police expect to report additional ar
rests before the middle Of next week.
Lieut.. Davis and Sergt. McQuade
could not be located today. Nc
Quade took q prominent part in the
raid last night. Plans had been laid
carefully. McQuade placed himself
In an apartment adjoining the one
occupied by Lynch. Then the tele-
phone call for supplies was made
As soon as the purchase was COM
pleted, Lieut.. Davis and Asher OBJ
tanned a warrant and went back to
the apartment at which McQuade was
still standing sentry post.
Then the raid took place. Quietly
and systematically Asher went over
the apartment, finally stopping at q
clothes closet A number of hangers
were screwed into a false ceiling OF
the closet and when one of them was
turned three times by Asher, the cache
was revealed.
I'VE regard the arrest as one which
will probably do more to stop flow OF
good liquor to a supposedly highly
respected class of Washingtonians
than any in the past" Asher said to-
day.
Lynch was arrested about a year
ago, when he told the -klrresting Off.
GERS that he was obtaining his liquor
from the Cuban legation. This started
a mild scandal that has been almos,
forgotten since.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
PLAN BITTER FIGHT
NMELL0N TAX BILL
Attack Prepared Despite
Coolidge Opposition to
Changes in Measure.
MINORITY CHIEFS CENTER
FIRE ON SURTAX RATES
Count on Support of Progressive
Bloc to Force Amendments
Through.

Democratic leaders of the House are
preparing to launch a fight against a
number of the important provisions
Of the Mellon tax bill. among them
the proposed plan to reduce surtax
rates to a maximum of 25 per cent
on net incomes exceeding 100000.
Minority members Of the ways and
means committee are understood to
have agreed that the maximum sur
tax rate should be "A per cent of in
comes in excess of $4,000. Existing
law fixes the maximum at so per cent
of incomes exceeding 100000.
The administration bill has been the
subject of a series of conferences by
the eleven democrats on the committee
and Representative Garrett. the minor
ity leader. The group Is said to be
united as to what changes should be
made in the bill and is counting on
the support of the insurgent republi-
cans.
Among other amendments favored
by the democrats is said to be one
providing for more sweeping repeal OF
nuisance taxes
Coolidge Opposes Change.
With President Coolidge known to
oppose any alteration In the essential
provisions of the Mellon tax reduc-
ton bill or any compromise involving
its principles. republican leaders in
the House today continued their eff
forts to put off action on a soldiers
bonus measure until the ways and
means committee can decide not only
on the administrative features of the
tax bill, but also on the proposed rate
changes.
The Presidents attitude was made
known at the White House yesterday.
: but it was said he did not plan to
bring pressure in support of his views
upon individual representatives and
was confident that Congress. in acting
on the bill, would translate into law
the Will Of the people.
Efforts to get some affirmative
action on the whole revenue law re-
vision program prior to a show down
on the bonus appear to. have made
some progress in conference between
steering committee leaders and re-
publican members of the House who
have been demanding a party confer
ence to instruct the ways and means
committee on the question.
Several of the representatives who
have been circulating petitions for
the conference are said to be willing
10 withhold them for a time to give
the committee 'rea asonable" oppor-
tunity to report a bonus bill.

|MUSSELSHELL INCREABES
COAST HOG SHIPMENTS

In spite of the heavy shipment of
fat hogs from Musselshell county
already this year, an average ship
ment of carload month will be
maintained until next fall, in the
opinion of A. B. Hicks, who returned
to Roundup recently from Seattle,
where he marketed his last shipment.
This shipment was the third in three
weeks to have been made by Mr..
Hicks, and from which he netted
more than $1,000.
Mr.. Hicks has four more cars I'M

the next 10 days, and the remaining
stock in the county is expected to
supply an average of a carload a
month until spring pigs are ready
for market next fall.
The increase in hog raising in
Musselshell county has been remark
able and is said to be the direct re-
suit of the determination of farmers
to devote more of their attention to
growing corn. This has brought an
increase in five years of more than
200 per cent in the acreage given
