WORK ON TOMB
Of KING TUT
STOPPED
Howard Carter Suspends Ac-
tiVity Due to Friction With
Egyptian Government.
BY International News Service.

LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 13.-Work
of exploring the thirty-century-old
tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen in the
Valley of Kings was suddenly dis
continued this afternoon. Howard
Carter, Psychologist in charge of
the work, said he would close the
tomb Immediately owing to "dis-
courtesies and restrictions inn
posed by the Egyptian govern
Iment." Carter has long been at
loggerheads with the Egyptian
department of public works.
Cause of Brecah.
1t was understood that the re-
fusal Of the Egyptian government
to allow the wives Of the excava-
tors to enter the tomb precipitated
the sudden suspension.
Before decision was taken to close
the tomb a number of newspaper
representatives were allowed to
visit the mortuary shrine, where
the opened sarcophagus rests. It
looked like a huge golden idol. A
bizarre effect was given by golden
head dress and the golden beard of
the bas relief on the lid Of the
mummy cases. The beard had been
worked out by goldsmiths into thick
rope-like strands.
Egyptologists believe that four
inner coffins are symbolic Of the
four heavens. They are made of
gold and silver. The only defect
yet discerned consist of two cracks
In the gold sheeting. Workmen
with much experience amongst the
tonbs OF the ancients said there
were probably secret bolts which
would release the corners, If they
could be found.
To X.Ray Mummy.
The golden coffin containing the
mummy Of Tut-Ankh-Amen may be
opened at the end of the winter
season to allow X-ray photographs
to be made of the body, It was
stated today by Arthur WeigalI,
inspector general of antiquities for
the Egyptian government.
Before the X-ray pictures are
made the winding sheets of per.
ruined linen will be removed from
the 3,OOO-year-old corpse. These
pictures are expected to reveal the
age of the ancient Pharaoh and
perhaps throw light upon the lost
art of Egyptian embalming which
preserved the bodies of the dead
for many centuries.

By KENNETH CLARK,
International Newa Garxine.


Charging "bad faith, fraud and
secret dealing" in connection with
the leasing Of Teapot Dome to
Harry F. Sinclair by ex-Secre-
tary of Interior Albert B. Fall,
Leo Stack, wealthy Denver Oil
man and politician, took the
stand in the Senate's oil investi-
CATION today and submitted to q
gruelling cross examination re-
garding his allegations.
The ramifications Of Stacks
charges included the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana and subsidi-
aries which claimed rights in the
naval reserve, and which were
paid $1,OOO,OO0 by Sinclair to
quiet claims, he said.
Standard IN Pipe Line.
Aside from the $1,000,000, Stack
alleged that the real consideration
which the Standard Companies OBJ
tanned from Sinclair was a half in
terest in the pipe line from the
Wyoming fields, required to be con.
structed by the oil magnate in the
lease contract he negotiated with
Fall.
Under questioning by Senator
Lenroot Rep.) Of Wisconsin, Stack
said he applied for lease to Teapot
Dome. acting for. the Midwest Re-
filming Company, on May 30, 1917.
He declared he offered to drill
wells on the reserve and give the
navy all fuel oil, his company
only reserving the water rights and
gasoline
His offer was fatty refused by
the navy, Stack said, and the ne
gotiations temporarily ended.
After Congress passed the navy
leasing act on June 4, 1920, Stack
said he approached E. L. Doheny
about going in with him for lease
to the Dome.
Wanted to Meet Daniels.
"Doheny was not enthusiastic at
first but later we went in together"
Stack said.
so 1 came to Washington and
went to my friend George Creel
and asked him to introduce me to
Secretary Of Navy Daniels.
"I didn't know Daniels myself
and I only wanted Creel to intro.
duce u.s."
"Did you want to lease the whole
reserve?"
mo, I only wanted to drill off
set wells.
TT was common knowledge that
the reserve was being drained by
wells in adjacent fields and 1t
seemed to me it would be wise for
the navy to lease part Of the re-
serve to save it's oil.
Stack said he went to Doheny be-
cause IT thought he was an inde-
pendent and l believed the Ameri-
can people would like an inde-
pendent oil man to handle the oil
in the reserves"
Repudiates CreeI's Testimony.
Stack repudiated Creel's testimony
that he was unaware that Doheny
was backing the proposition for
the lease.
"He (CreeD knew Doheny was
my backer."
Creel said he broke with Stack on
the plan to get the lease when he
learned Doheny was back Of Stack:
"I told Doheny I wanted Creel
in the deal because he could do
things in Washington couldn't do.
"Doheny agreed and he gave me
81, 900 for Creel."
"Why did you want Creel?"

the Little Big Horn June rs. 1873,
has discovered three bodies that had
never been buried. One Of the skel-
etins still had ON parts Of a U. s.
uniform, showing that he had been
a private soldier. The body was
found in a clump Of brushes near
where Custer first attempted to cross
the Little Big Horn and no doubt is
the remains of one of Calhoun's
company. He had probably been
wounded, crawled into the brush and
there died. The skulls OF the other
two men had been broken in above
the eyes as IL done by a stone mallet.
A spur of an officer, of peculiar con-
struction, a foot of a boy about IL
years old, no doubt Otto Reds foot,
a top boot, together with some brass
buttons marked NJ. d. and several
other relics were found on the field.
The buttons are thought to be those
from the uniform of DR.. De Wolf,
who was killed with Custer. The
