DESCRIBES VISIT
TO EGYPTIAN TOMB
DR.. J. H. Breasted, in Lee
ture, Tells of Wonders of
Tut-ankh-Amen's Burial.

DR.. James H. Breasted, world
famous Psychologist, last evening
related his personal experiences in
viewing the tomb of Tut-ankh Amen
and told the significant facts which
that discoverer added to the worlds
knowledge of ancient history. DR..
Breasted spoke before members of
the National Geographic Society, to
whom he was introduced by DR.. Gill
bert Grosvenor, president Of the
society
The Importance of the finding of
Tut ut-ankh-Amen's tomb lay in the fact
that it revealed Egyptian culture
during the worlds first period of
spiritual and intellectual emancipa
tion, the speaker said. He told how
Tut-ankh-Amen's father-in-law had
been the worlds first great idealist
and emancipator from older ideas in
religion, art, and modes OF thinking.
He described a painting found on the
back of chair Of the tomb as re-
vealing this modernism" of $3.50
years ago. This painting, incident
ally, pictured the pharaoh in pose
of conquest bearing out the Biblical
description, Il will make thine
enemies thy footstool." ~.
Saw Statue Wink.
In conquest lay the first inkling
peoples had of world affairs, the
speaker said. So long as they re-
manned in their Nile Valley their con-
ception of the world was limited to
the few square miles about their
homes. But when the great Egyp-
tian, Babylonian and Hittite expan-
sions began the average man began
to take a world view such as we find
natural today with the help Of news
papers, radio, the telephone and other
communication means. This broader
view affected the ancients' outlook
upon life, and out of 1T grew the con-
ception of a universal God.
Working in the tomb was a weird
experience at times, DR.. Breasted said
Upon one occasion he heard strange
noises and then he thought he saw
one Of the 3,000-year-old statues wink
at him. 1t developed that the noises
were real enough-they came from
the cracking of woodwork because
of its exposure to different tempera-
ture and humidity-and the winking
of the statue was caused by a bit of
the coating over one eye being slowly
waited backward and forward by a
breeze
His first view of the treasures
which had been sealed up for thou
sands of years was dramatic mo-
ment, the speaker continued. He said
the anteroom reminded him Of a
property room of modern opera
house in its sumptuous magnificence.

EXPLORING OF OCEAN BOTTOM
TO RIVAL TALE OF CAPT. MEMO
Macy Officials Plan Thorough Study of Waters
adjacent to America-Much Data to
Be Sought.

Jules Ferne's exploration of the sea
bottom by the mythical Capt. Memo is
to have its counterpart in reality, IL
recommendations embodied in the final
report of the conference on ocean
ography to the Secretary Of the Navy,
made public today, are put into practice.
- The u. S. S. Rainbow, which has re-
Gently been on service in the Orient,
would be fitted out for oceanographic
researches under the plan as outlined by
Lieut.. Comdr. George E. Brandt, U. S.
N, secretary general Of the conference.
The region of the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean Sea, and neighboring
parts of the North Atlantic, extending.
through the Panama Canal into the
Pacific, have been selected as the start
ing point of the expedition. An esti-
mated expenditure of s57,5o0 would be
required at first. ~. .-
With Capt. F.. B. Bassett, u. S. N,
photographer of the Navy. as it's presi-
dent, the conference recommended that
research work in oceanography form a
permanent part of naval activities.
Those who took part in the conference
included representatives of the State,
Treasury, War, Navy, Interior, Agri-
culture and Commerce departments,
the Smithsonian Institution. the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences and Ma
Congress, the Carnegie Institution and
Shipping Board, as we'll as Secretary
Wilbur, Capt. f. w. Wallace, editor of
Fishing Gazette, and Herbert J. Browne,
long-range weather forecaster.
A national cooperative program of
research in oceanography is the goal
seen by the conference, To explore
some of the ocean waters that cover
five- -sevenths of the earths surface
and exploit food, plant and animal
resources in them, and gain scien-
tific geographic, economic and cI-
matte information, is the motive that
prompts 1t. -..-.--- -
The definite objects which the con-
ference had in mind are: Discovering,
developing and utilizing the resources
of the sea; facilitating navigation of
the sea and air and improving COM
munication by radio and submarine
cable; promoting human welfare

Physician Predicts Perfect Mans
Production by Gland Regulation

tenor or bass
by increasing the action of
sluggish glands and slowing down
the over-active glands. remarkable
results have been accomplished,
and we are on the verge of even
greater achievements which will
make possible the production of
the prefect man."
DR.. Diffenbach expressed the
opinion that control of the duct
less glands was far superior to
implantation of monkey glands
for the restoration of youth.
CHICAGO, November 21.-The
idea of the production of the per-
feet man by the regulation of
glands was characterized as "Uto-
plan" at headquarters Of the
American Medical Association to-
day. 1t was represented that
existing medical knowledge of the
functions of glands and Of changes
that might occur in them was too
meager to support such theory.

through scientific discovery and the
progress of knowledge and safe
guarding human life. Work in the
north Pacific and north Atlantic
Oceans would be undertaken at a
later time
Among the scientific problems to be
taken up are: Shapes, contours and
depths of ocean basins; evaporation
and rain, fog and snow over sea and
land areas; distribution and periodic
changes in atmospheric pressures and
winds; ocean currents and vertical
circulation of ocean waters; sea
water chemistry: shifting of shore
lines, warpfng Of margins of conti-
nents and submarine upheaya1s and
dislocations; nature and composition
of sea bottom; previous land connec-
tions and changes in existing connec-
tions between continents; areas and
features of submarine volcanism and
earthquake movement; sedimenta
ton; light penetration in sea water
and it's bearing on plant and animal
life; distribution of the intensity of
gravity; distribution. relative abun-
dance and interrelations of various
forms of plant and animal life; visi-
bility under different atmospheric
conditions: height, length and velocity
of ocean waves, and the location and
extent OF fields of static and electro
static disturbances and Investigations
of other forms of atmospheric electric
ity. -
Included, in the practical results
which the. conference expects are: Dis
covery of new fishing banks as aid
to food supply; full understanding of
climate and developing of better
means of predicting weather condi-
tions; solution of weather problems
affecting sea and air navigation;
knowledge of iceberg drifts; loca-
tfon of deposits of oil, ores and other
economically important resources, and
Improvement of radio communication
and reduction of operating cost of
radio stations Specimens of scientific
Importance would be transferred to the
National Museum for study, exchange
or other disposition, agreed on with the
Navy.

H|-)ACKERS SOLD
RUM SHIPS CARGO
Veronica Was in Charge of
Pirates Three Weeks Be-
fore Turned Adrift.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HALIFAX, N. s., November 22.-
The four masted British schooner
Veronica was under command OF
band of armed liquor pirates for
three weeks before it was deserted
and left drifting, cripple of the
seas crying for help, it was reported
here last night when the craft was
toWed into port.
The master of the schooner and
the two supercargoes refused to talk,
but the mate, a Scotchman, who
claimed years of service on the
seven seas, told a story of modern
pirates, compared to whom, he said,
Oriental pirates of the China Sea
with whom he had come in contact
were gentlemen"
According to the mate. the We
ronica was boarded October "a, off
Montauk Point, by Is men who came
ostensibly to purchase liquor, with
which he said the craft was loaded.
When they were aboard, the mate
related, the men covered the Veroni-
cas- crew with pistols.
Hi-jackers Sold Cargo.
Taking complete charge of their
prize, the hi-jackerS proceeded to
conduct a wholesale liquor business
with small craft. the mate said. un-
til nearly all the cargo was sold.
While the pirates were in COM
mand, it was said, the officers were
kept locked in the chain locker, and
the crew was forced undeN threat of
violence to assist in disposing of the
cargo. Every night, it was reported,
the entire crew was locked in a. COM
partment and kept under guard until
the morning. -
Then, after crippling the engines of
the Veronica, smashing her compass
chronometer and other instruments
by which she might be guided to port
the pirates went over the side as
sually as they had arrived. leaving
their victim an aimless hulk at the
mercy of the elements.
The mate said that the Veronica
drifted about, her officers unable to
take their bearings, until flares and
rockets they sent up every night
were seen by the liner President
Harding Wednesday night, three days
after they had been cast loose by
their captors.
When the Veronica arrived here ii
was reported that not drop of water
remained aboard and that the supply
of provisions was very low. Cham
pagne and whisky had been used by
the crew to assuage their thirst in
the absence of water, it was said.
The crew of the schooner, mostly
foreigners who could speak but lit
tie English, said that they had ship
ped on the Veronica four months ago
in Bremen, ostensibly for cruise to
Melilla, Morocco.
They said, however, that they had
not seem land since the day of their
sailing. They reported enormous
hardships at the hands of the pirates.
When the craft dropped anchor
customs officers sealed up the re-
manning liquor. No estimate was
available of the value of the cargo
which had been looted, or the amount
the pirates received for what they
had sold over the side.
According to one member of the

"SRTE WALL" SUIT
LOST BY CHURCH
Woman's Injunction Against
Obstruction Upheld
After 13 Years.
Rv the Associated Press


NEW YORK, November 22-MrS.
Augusta f. Stetson gained another
victory in her long fight to prevent
erection of a spite wall" between
her home and New York's First
Church of Christ, Scientist, when the
appellate division of the supreme
court upheld a lower court injunction
against the church.
The decision, which DEGREES that no
obstruction OF any kind may be erect
ed to shut off the Tight air, view
and access" between Mrs. Stetson's
$4,000 home and the church at Cen
trail Park West and Ninety-sixth
street, was rendered after 13 years of
litigation. 1t upholds an injunction
granted Mrs. Stetson against the
church last August
Mrs. Stetson erected the residence
in 1904, on property purchased from
the church. in which she had been the
first reader and a leader in it's foun-
datfon and maintenance. Six years
later, as a result of a disagreement
with a church faction, Mrs. Stetson
resigned, both as Il member and Il
trustee
In 1911 the church trustees decided
to extend garage at the rear of The
church property to the building line
construction of which would have Gu
OFF Mrs. Stetson's home from acccks
to and view of Central Park, acruss
the street. Her protests to the trus-
tees being of no avail. she took the
case INTO the courts. contending that
the extension would do no good to
the church in any way" and would
result in large financial loss to her.
Her attorney characterized the build
ing project as wicked one"
Last July Mrs. Stetson obtained
from supreme Court Justice Burr per
mission to reopen her suit. which al
ready had been determined in her
IaVor and was on appeal by the
church, that she might include in ;bc
court records a. certificate of consent
executed by the church in 1906, hui
which was missing when the cas-
was first tried.

LANDLORD DENIES
INCREASED RENTS
Tenants at Darlington Apart
ments Organize to Pro-
test Raises.

Rental raises in the Sixteenth Street
Mansions. formerly the Chastleton,
were fatty denied by the owner,
Maurice Baskin, in a statement today
in which he declared: Il wish to say
that the statement that the tenants
have received notice of any increases
in rent is absolutely false"
Not only did Mr.. Baskin deny rental
raises in the apartment, but he charg-
ed that mimeographed circulars had
been scattered "surreptitiously by some
irresponsible scoundrels who were ap-
parently afraid to sign their Names"
The circulars referred to by Mr.
Baskin related to meeting of
tenants tonight in the Sixteenth
Street Mansions lobby.
THE whole affair is obviously a
malicious lie and attempt by ire
sponsible individuals and professional
trouble makers to stir up trouble and
attain newspaper notoriety for some
Interior motive" charges Mr.. Baskin.
Mrs. Brown Asked to Speak.
Mrs. Henry C. Brown, secretary of
the Tenants League today stated
that she had been invited to appear
and speak at mass meeting at the
Sixteenth Street Mansions to be held
by a group of dissatisfied tenants.
Mrs. Brown also stated that she had
received from the leaders of the
movement In the Chastleton a list of
15 tenants who had voiced complaints
Mr.. Baskin stated that he had no
objection to the tenants holding a
mass meeting in the lobby tonight IL
there is no interference with the
rights of others in the building and
everything is orderly.
Darlington Tenants Protest.
Determination to fight their rent
increases and to assist other tenants
in their opposition to rental raises
was expressed by the occupants of
the Darlington apartment house, at
Sixteenth street and Columbia road,
at a public mass meeting held in the
lobby of the building last night.
This is the first apartment house in
the Sixteenth street district to join
the protest move and will be follow
ed tonight by public meeting at
the Sixteenth Street Mansions.
A lengthy meeting was held at the
Darlington last night during which
Mrs. Brown related many specific in
stances of rent raises working un-
usual hardships."
To Aid Appeal.
At the conclusion of the meeting
tenants at the Darlington appointed
a committee to cooperate with the
league: Henry E. Barrett, Mrs. Frank
r. Sunny, Mrs. Harry Harrandon,
Frank F. Maxwell and A. j. Hatterly.
The appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court from the decision of the
District Court of Appeals in the case
of F'inck VS.. Peck, which involves the
validity Of the Rent Commission,
which had been held up due to lack
of funds will now be filed. The Ten
ants League raised the necessary $100
with the assistance of Mrs. Charles
Lusky and loaned to the appealee.
The attorney in the case states that
the papers will probably be filed Tues
day.
