Many of the 40 boys, who will
compete in the junior games, have
had considerable experience in high
school competition. Fred Doyle, son
Of the famous Connie, was a valuable
player on Tech Highs team. He is
expected to impress in the junior
matches. Given two or three more
years of actual play on the courts,
Fred, who has been diligently tu-
tored by his father, is expected to
take his place among the leading
netmen here.
Those in charge of the affair hone
that Mitchell of Western and Kip
Callan of st. Johns will be able to
compete. These two youngsters
showed exceptional form in the high
school games. Veterans who have
seen them in action are high in their
praise. Fred McGinty is another
youngster that will bear Watching.

LUXOR, Egypt, February 1.-THE
lid of Tut-Ankh-Amen's sarcophagus
was raised today. 1t is understood
the body of the king was found with
in.
When the lid was raised there was
revealed the most splendid gilded
mummy case ever found in Egypt. 1t
1t about three meters long.
The mummy case bears an effigy
IN relief of the king wearing the
Mems" or sacred headdress like that
Of the sphinx. decorated with the
head Of hawk and a serpent in pure
gold set with lapis lazuli. The hands
are crossed, one bearing crook
scepter and the other a fail.
A pathetic touch is given the efiey
py little crown of withered natural
mowers set about the gold headdress.
Inc royal mummy case has not yet
been opened.
Apparently the decision that Yhe
opening OF the sarcophagus would be
strictly private was reversed during
the morning, for shortly before 2
O'Clock distinguished company of
some twenty persons assembled in
the we'll of the tomb. 1t was Just 3:05
O'Clock when, escorted by Mr.. Carter
the party entered the tomb and soon
there came to the ears of the watch
ers, who sat on the parapet in a biaz-
ing sun, the clank of pulleys and the
sound of ropes slipping through the
DOCKS. AT AIS the party emerged from
the tomb.

The next question, in President
Coolidge's rebuke to the Senate for
Its invasion of the Executives pre-
rogative and it's attempt to "play
politics" with the Constitution is,
what will be the reaction of public
opinion on the case?
VIII the voters differentiate by
recognizing the Presidents course
and attitude as that of a courageous
public official. thoroughly intrenche'
in knowledge Of his rights and con-
stitutional functions, or succumb to
partisan and untenable effort to place
the President in the light of in some
way defending the oil scandal?
Motive Back of Demand.
For, stripped of all pretense and
attempted camoufiage, that is recog-
nized as being exactly what the pur-
pose OF the proposed democratic
lynching party with the aid of dis
affected republicans, was. 1t was a
drive on the President of the United
States for partisan purpose, to put
him In the seeming position of con-
doning the major offense, through a
process of distorted reasoning and
insinuation.
President Coolidge lost no time in
promptly meeting the partisan chal-
lenge of the majority in the Senate
which passed the resolution request
ing him to ask for Secretary DENLY
resignation. His answer was brief
terse and pointed. Perceiving the
partiSant intent. he said: 81 do not
propose to sacrifice any innocent man

to retain in office any unfit man for
my own welfare"

FIGHT GAS TAXI BILL
IN SENATE AFTER
PASSAGE BY HOUSE
Amendments Will Be Attack
ed When Action Is
Called For.

Passed by the House yesterday
afternoon, the gasoline tax bill today
awaited action by the Senate-action
which Senator Ball, chairman of the
District committee. said would be
sought with every effort.
Meanwhile the District Commits
sioners and civic organizations in
Washington which have opposed the
bill as amended and passed by the
House, were preparing to take such
steps as were possible to have the
objectionable features of the meas
ure stricken out by the Senate and
ironed out when the measure goes to
conference.
Senator Ball said that at the meet
ing of the District committee tomor-
row the bill would probably come up
for discussion. He indicated the COM
HIIttee might ask the Senate to pass
the bill as reported several weeks
ago to the Senate-providing for a
2-cent tax on gasoline and reten-
ton OF the present personal tax on
automobiles and for nominal Ii
GcnSe tax.
SHOULD the Senate pass the bill in
that shape it would then go to con-
ference with the House, and the diff
ferences be ironed out IN conference.
Senator Ball said that he would
utudy carefully the provisions Of the
bill as passed by the House before
taking any action on it He said he
would be inclined to favor a provi-
sion that the money raised under the
proposed law should be used for
street improvements and maintenance
and for better lighting, lin addition
to the regular appropriation made for
the streets and lighting"
Senator Ball said in reply to a ques-
ton that he did not believe it would
be necessary for the Senate committee
to hold hearings on the gasoline tax
bill.
When the gas tax bill was reported
to the Senate from the Senate COM
mittee early in the present session.
Senator Ball sought immediate action
on the measure. Senator Mcclellan
of Tennessee, however, raised the
point against the bill that it was a
revenue-raiSing measure and under
the Constitution mnst originate in the
House. In this contention Senator
Mcclellan was sustained by the SEN
ate, and the Senate has been waiting
for the House to send it the gasoline
tax bill.
AS passed by the House yesterday,
the measure has scant resemblance to
the draft as recommended by the Dis
trict Commissioners in the interest OF
reciprocity. 1t carries the two-cent-a-
gallon gasoline tax. 1t requires a if
teen-cent horsepower charge instead of
the 81 registration fee.
