HUNTING REVIVED IN ERIN

Sport. Banned by Land Owners
During Political Disturbance,
Again Flourishes.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, March 1.-One Of the
first amusements to suffer from po-
litical disturbance in Ireland Is ala
ways riding to hounds, and the ire-
fusaI of the people to allow the dogs
and their mounted followers over
their lands has been regarded as
demonstration of political opinion.
Today hunting once again is In full
swing and the numerous packs of
hounds all over the country carry on
without Interruption. condition
thought typical of the recent change.
In Waterford the hounds are under
the imastership of members of the
family of the Marquis Of Waterford.
English visitors have not yet begun
to come back IN large numbers, but
the outbreak Of the foot-and- mouth
disease among horses in England has
acted as a deterrent to the sport. and
the Irish hunting packs are taking
advantage of this circumstance to in
vite English sportsmen to come to
Ireland.

SHOALS MEASURE
FACES OBSTACLES
IN CRUSH Of BILLS

WASHINGTON, Feb. with the
Mckenzie bill authorizing acceptance
of Henry F'ord's offer for Muscle
Shoals formally reported to theNhouse
today, move by advocates Of the
measure to secure prompt considera-
ton apparently met with but little
encoura cement from Republican lead
ers.
Representative LongWorth, of Ohio,
the majority leader, said it had not
been determined what place could be
given the measure. He said the res
olution of Acting Chairman Mcken-
zie, of the house military affairs com
mittee, requesting early considera-
ton for the bill, had been taken up
by the Republican leaders to ascer-
tain when it could come before the
house.
Representative Garrett, of Tennes
see, the Democratic leader, declared
he was in favor of the Mckenzie res
olution, and would exert his influ-
ence to obtain early consideration of
the bill.
The tax measure and appropriation
bills. Mr.. LongwOrth pointed out,
have precedence over other matters
and with a request also for prompt
action on the immigration bill, it was
difficult to predict any date for the
shoals discussion.
Tho 1.cc0lllti0n of Mr. Nc 1nZie
provides for ten hours debate under
the five-minute rule. with the time
to be equally divided between advO'
Gates and opponents.
The bill, as formally reported, en-
bodies practically the offer as made
by Mr.. Ford two years ago.
The section authorizing replace
ment of the Gorgas plant with a
similar steam plant differs slightly
from Mr.. Ford's wish as expressed
to the committee 1t provides that
the new plant must be located at OF
near Dam No II, on the Black War
ror river, Alabama. Mr.. Ford haC
I suggested a clause be added, prOvid
/ ing for either the location specified
or some other point mutually accep
/ table to the government and him
self.

mittee had reached the same con
/ clusion as did the committee of The

posaI which meets all of the require
ments of the national defense act

Golden Casket Holding Body
of Ancient Pharaoh Is Fully
Revealed as Growing
|" Stage of Work Nears

LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 2.-(By the
Associated Press. with steady
strides, considering the bewildering
difficulty of the work, the excaVa
tors in the tomb of Tutenkhmun
are approaching the browning 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 Olsen
gagged save for the walls Of the third
shrine, and fully disclosed in its
cleaning golden beauty.
As Howard Carter draws nearer
to the heart of this bizarre, beauti-
full nest of shrines, evidence &C
cumulates that the BODY of the
mystery pharoah still is within.
| Tucked away in the corners and the
narrow spaces between the differ
cnt caskets have been found sue
cessively such attributes of royalty
as the kings sceptres, maces of
gilded wood inlaid with faience and
now, within the last few days, the
| discovery of two great ostrich
| feather fans with gilded handles
more han three and a half leet
long, stamped with the two car
touches giving the klng's family
name and official title, proclaims
that the body of pharoah is indeed
| close at hand.
For these fans, which have been
symbol of royalty in the Orient
through the ages and are frequently
depicted in mural relief in the an
cient Egyptian temples, were borne
close behind the monarch by great
mobiles, who were honOred by the
charge, even as today in Rome great
fans are borne close beside the Sedla
! Gestatoria, bearing the pope.
Were further indications required
i they would be found in the protec-
/ tive goddesses of death with tenderly
/ spreading wings which are beautiful
/ ly depicted in gilded gesso on the
covering Of the fourth casket, SINH
/ lar to the goddesses distinguished
/ by the excavatOrs inclsed upon the
outside of the stone sarcophagus. in
their brief glimpse Of the coffin a
month ago.
/ Mr. Garter was at first extremely
! puzzled by the problem which the
/ 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 difficulty. For the rest,
/ however. the shrine appeared TO be
in one piece and how to dismantle IT
/ without damage in the narrow space
at his disposal was a problem.
Closer inspection today showed
that after all the shrine is in sec
tons like the others. AS a result
of this afternoons work. by means
of wedges, Mr.. Carter succeeded in
raising the roof of the shrine about
sixteen inches, disclosing part OF
che lid of the sarcophagus beneath.
One of the next things TO be done IS
to provide the elaborate tackle OF
pulleys and differential gear re.
CURED to raise the immensely heavy
lid Of the sarcophaSus.
