Discovered by Russell Kaufman, an
ex-service man, and Eloy Yerovi, an

Verbal pyrotechnics that scared to

marked the. public trial" of superin-
tendent of Schools Frank w. Ballou
conducted at the Franklin School yes
terday afternoon by Capt Julius 1. Pey-
ser and Ernest Greenwood, who con-
stitute the so-called progressive bloc"
on the board Of education. 1t was the
most unusual event ever recorded in
the history of the District public schools
and attracted one OF the largest
throngs that ever jammed their way
into the school boards chambers.
1t was not a trial in the ordinary
sense Of the word, for no formal
charges had been filed against Dr.
Ballou. 1t was intended by those who
called the meeting that it be an
informal conference. The superin-
tendent, however, was the target Of
many insinuations and interrogations,
fired at him in rapid succession by a
lawyer, Capt. Peyser, and his bloc"
associate, in an effort to draw from
him an admission that he was aware
the Commissioners had drafted a sub
stitute for the original teachers
salary bill and had failed 20 report
this fact to the board. his employer.
DR.. Ballou stood his ground bravely
and apparently satisfied the court"
that although he had conferred with
District government and budget
bureau representatives regarding the
teachers salary legislation, he was
totally ignorant of any substitute bill.
Ceremony Unprecedented.
The entire personnel of the board
was drawn into the unprecedented
ceremony. Each member was Ques-
toned regarding his or her knowl-
edge of the substitute bill. Each
made an emphatic denial. After all
testimony had been taken Capt. Pey-
ser fired his rebuttal remarks In i'm

only at DR.. Ballou, but the Commits

District auditor.
Capt. Peyser then pleaded for peace
and harmony on the school board and,
turning to his associates, said:

LUXOR, Egypt, January 5.-Howard
Carter's surprising last-minute decision
on Thursday to postpone further work
on Tut-ankh-Amens shrine and open
the doors Of the successive caskets to
establish whether the pharaoh's sarco-
phagus was really within has given
him the satisfaction of knowing that
at length his ambition has been realized
and that this modest tomb, with its
wealth of treasure, is indeed the sepul-
cher of the mystery monarch.
The frieze of Inscriptions on the pink
stone coffin,- freely interspersed with
Tut-ankh-Amen's cartouches, definitely
established this, but the immense and
solid lid of the coffin, which is perhaps
four inches thick, effectively bars the
way to further Investigation until the
surrounding shrines shall have been dis
mantled.

The world will have to wait possibly
until next season before the mummy Of
