ROCKEFELLER
WANTS MUSEUM
IN FAR EAST
Offers Egyptian Nation $40,
100000 TO Build Institute
at Cairo

New York, Feb. 15.--tM-John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., has offered King
Fuad and the Egyptian nation $lO,-
100000 for the erection and maintcn-
ancc in Cairo of u great museum and
archaeological institute.
This fact has become known
through announcement in Cairo by
Professor James H. Breasted of the
University Of Chicago, who will be
chairman of@the trustees Of the new
museum if King Fuad accepts cer-
tain conditions for the gift which Mr..
Rockefeller desires to impose.
In New York an agent of Mr.. Rock
cfeller characterized the announce
ment as premature.
Extreme Egyptian nationalists wish
that control be vested in the Egyp-
tian government. Mr., Rockefeller, il
is asserted, desires M american di-
rectorate. /.
Negotiations have been in progress
since last fall. The museum would
house marvellous treasures which
have been found in Egypt, including
those taken from the tomb Of Tut
Ankh-Amen at Luxor, and other
places.
It is the opinion of archaeologists
that, Notwithstanding museums are
filled with Egyptian art, only a small
portion of that country's story has
been told and that the Rockefeller
gift will 60 long way toward bring
ing to light further marvellous things
remaining in the veritable treasure
house, and also facts about the hu-
man race from about the year 49,
600 B. c. to the time of Homer and
Herodotus. One Of the great incen-
tives to archaeological research is
for proofs establishing the real
cradle of civilization, whether along
the Nile or the Euphrates.

Washington, Feb. l5.--(P)--Thc
problem OF revising the tax reduction
bill SO as to meet the approval of the
house, senate and treasury today con-
frOnted conferees appointed by the
two chambers to strai.hten out points
Of difference
AS passed by the senate the bill
provides for a reduction of $456.26l,- =
600, or more than 1926, ,OOO, 900 in eX-
cess Of that voted by the house, and
about $lOO,OOO,OOO more than Secre-
tary Mellon believes the condition of
the treasury will permit this year.
A considerable portion of the in
crease appears to be doomed by the
attitude Of house leaders who would
adhere to their own figures. Chair
man Green of the ways and means
committee, heading the house con-
ferees, has declared that any in
crease over the $3.50, 100000 reduction
proposed by the house not only
threatens a treasury deficit but jcop-
ardizes enactment of several pend
ing bills calling for increased appro-
priations, including the public build
ing bill.
Mr.. Green also declared that while
government actuaries estimated the
senate bill would reduce taxes by
456,26l 900 this calendar year. its
! actual reduction would amount to
5000. 100000 annually when the bill
goes fully into effect in later years.
Support From Senate
The house conferees also have more
or less support from the three Re-
publican representatives of the sen
ate, inasmuch ps the major increases
in reduction VOTED by the senate
| were made on the votes of Democrats
aided by some Republican insurgents

Bc.lairc, Ohio, Feb. 15.-CR)-One
miner was killed and 10 others in
jured, one perhaps fatally, at the
Powhatan mine. 16 miles south OF
here, this morning. Six hundred
other men in the mine escaped unin-
jured.
Employees Of the mine, 700 in num-
her, went on strike Friday, after they
had been offered checks instead Of
currency as pay. w. o. Percival,
general manager Of the mine, took
the stand that it was too much of a
risk to transport money from Bel
laire banks.
The miners voted yesterday to re-
turn to work today.

The miners engaged in workings
farther in the main shaft made their
escape through the main entrance
within three hours after the explo-

w. o. Percival, mine manager, said
the mine would be reconditioned to-
day with view Of renewing opera
tions tomorrow.
BY a strange fate, the miner killet
was drowned. The blast threw hin
into the air and he landed face down
ward in a puddle of water. He ha.
not been identified.

RULINGS MAKE
THINGS WORSE
FOR FARMERS
Interference by Government
Drives Business to Winni-
peg, Says Cutten

Chicago, Fcg. R)-Arthur w.
Cutten, prominent grain operator, be-
lieves that government interference
has dcmoralZed the grain market"
and is driving this conntry's business
to Winnipeg.
Misunderstanding Of the function
that speculation performs has led to
Il series Of rulings which, instead of
helping matters for the farmer,
makes them worse" Mr.. Cutten said
in a statement today.
Everyone with practical knOwl-
edge Of speculation knows that the
outsider is always a buyer in every
speculative market. Strangely
enough, however, politicians in their
hunt for farmer votes continually at
tack the markets, which are the very
places where the farmer must sell
his surplus when he has one. The
result is that the portion of the
public which buys for higher prices
is frightened out of the market, and
support to take care Of the hedging
done by elevator interests against
actual grain bought from farmers
becomes insufficient to sustain
prices.
"The continued interference with
grain trading in this country is driv-
ing the business out of the United
States altogether up to Winnipeg.
The market there is rapidly becoming
the dominant grain market of North
America"

WARRANT FOR
EARL'S ARREST
ISSUED TODAY
Ofense Involves Moral Turpi.
tude in ElOpement With
the Countess

Washington, Feb. 15.-tP)-A war
rant for the arrest of the Earl of
Craven was issued today by the de-
partment of labor.
Issued at the request Of Commits
sloner Curren, in charge of immigra-
tion affairs at New York, the war
rant will be forwarded to him for
service. 1t was not known at the
department at the time of the issu-
ance that the earl had already de-
parted for Canada.
The charges contained in the war
rant are that the earl was guilty of
an offense involving moral turpitude
in his elopement to Africa with the
Countess of Carthcart. who has been
denied admission to this country on
similar grounds.
Order Will Be Contested
Should the earl return to New
York, the warrant will be served and
he will be given a hearing at Ellis
Island. Meanwhile, Wilton j. LAM
bert Of this city and William A. De-
ford Of New York. attorneys for the
countess, went forward with their
plans to contest the order Of Com
missioner NCurran in New York for
deportation of the countess. They
intend to make the point that the i'm
migration law covering such cases is
not mandatory and that it would be
an unwarranted exercise Of discretion
for the government to apply the act
to the countess.
A hearing in the case will be grant
ed by board of review at the labor
department late today.

EVERYTHING
IS READY TO
BEGIN WORK
Miners Are Anxious to Return
to Their Jobs After Six
Months Idleness

Scranton, Pa, Feb. 15.-LR)-Anx-
ious to return to work after an idle
ness of nearly six months, the 1885,
600 hard coal diggers today eagerly
awaited the ratification by their tri-
district convention in Scranton Of the
agreement reached in Philadelphia
by officials of the United Mine
Workers and representatives Of the
operators.
The convention opens tomorrow
and ratification is expected to come
not later than Wednesday, bringing
to an official end the longest and
most disastrous strike in the history
of the anthracite region. Twenty
four hours later anthracite will be
moving toward the market.
Everything is in readiness for a
resumption of operations. Large
forces were put to work cleaning up
and repairing Immediately after the
agreement was reached Friday and
today found most of the collieries in
fairly good shape.
Peak production probably will not
be reached before the V,d of the
month"; Many miners left the region
during the suspension and will not
be able to get back for a week or
two.
Opposition Is Negligible
Some opposition to ratification of
the new contract is expected in the
Scranton convention but leaders of
the miners said this would not be
formidable. Only one local union.
that at Edwardsville, has taken a
stand against the pact. This local.
which is largely anti-administration,
had its charter revoked twice last
year in order to break up unauthor-
ICED strikes.
The gloom, which had hung over
the anthracite belt since September
/, had entirely disappeared today.
Praise and Thanksgiving services for
the ending of the strike were held in
churches throughout the district yes
terday.
