Foul Play Suspicion
When X-Rays Show
Condition of Mummy

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. Ia
A conference Of doctors was called
here yesterday after it was found
that Lady Tesha, daughter of the
doorkeeper of the Golden House of
Anon, who died 5000 years ago, had
hardly a whole bone in heF body, to
determine whether she had been
done to death.
The body OF Lady Tesha, wrap
ped in yards of linen, painted with
gum and then covered with a plaster
cast, gaiHy painted, is in the Min
neapoIis Institute of Arts, where it
was brought in 1916 after having
been eXcavated from her tomb vat
Thebes, Egypt, several years pre-
ViouSly.
Because Of the unusual beauty of
the painted panels on the mummy
case, no effort has been made to
open it, and until yesterday moth
ing was known of the cases con-
tents. X-ray plates were developed
yesterday showing that Lady
Tesha's head was severed from her
body, and that several bones in her
arms and thorax were misplaced and
broken.
At first it was thought this in
Dictated execution or murder, but a
council of physicians advanced the
theory that in the collapse of it's
sues within the mummy case the
bones had fallen away from their
original positions and probably were
fractured in transit
sives decided to vote for the Demo
cratic candidate, Senator Smith, the
fight was over. That there was no
extreme bitterness as an aftermath
of, this unprecedented procedure
never before has a minority senator
been made chairman of an important
committees credited largely to
Senator Curtis personality and tact
fulness.
The senator from Kansas not only
bears up well but wears we'll under
his arduous and oftentimes disagree
able duties. He is one of the gem
uinelT popular members of the SEN
ate and has displayed qualities of
leadership that have earned him the
wholesome respect of his colleagues.
Gossip about the capitol has it that
he is to be rewarded for his party
services by being made the candidate
for vice president when the Repub-
lican national convention meets next
June in Cleveland, and some of his
friends are pointing out that with
President Coolidge at the head Of
the ticket it would be the best kind
of politics to put the distinguished
Kansan in second place.
Senator Curtis, by the way, may
we'll lay claim to being a real Amer
lean, for in him there is the blood
of the original inhabitants of this
country. His maternal grandmother
was a Kaw Inditn and as a lad he
attended a school on the KaW In
dian reservation in Kansas. He
spent several years of his youth as
a jockey, and it is no doubt due to
his training and experience in that
profession that lie knows now how
to WELD whip SO effectively.
1t may be, too, that was where he
got his zest for running for office.
At any rate, within three years after
he became a full-fledged lawyer in
1881 he was elected county attor-
ney of Shawnee county and was re-
elected in 1886. In 1898 he came to
congress and was a winner in every
biennial race until 1907, when he was
elected to the senate and resigned
from the house. He, was defeated
TO rre-election to the senate in 1872
but two years later he came back
again winner of the popular ver-
dict, to repeat once more in 1920.
In all, Senator Curtis has scored
some u wins to one defeat. That is
a record the Republican national
delegates may ponder over next June
at Cleveland.
