the famous Sherlock Holmes uncanny
insight have been made after careful
study of the head by DR.. David M.
Robinson of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. director of the excavations at
Antioch.
The head was discovered during eX-
cavation, buried face down. in a
Byzantine house of the ruined city.
1t is in good condition, except that
the nose had been badly broken and
the ears and mouth are somewhat
battered, so that the face resembles
that of a prizefighter. A restoration
of the nose and other features has
been made by an artist on a plaster
cast of the head, revealing the fine
profile of the handsome Augustus.
Z "The head conforms so strictly to
the Augustan type and yet is so aca-
demic and generalized that it is safe
to apply to it the explanation of Prof.
Swift, that waxen or clay portrait

husts of Augustus were sent to the
provinces to he copied by local artists
who had never seen Augustus him.
self" says DIR. Robinson in a report
to the American Journal of Archeol-
ogy.
He believes that it was set up late
in Augustus lifetime, probably a. the
time the temple of Augustus was
erected in Antioch. AS there is no
trace of rayed crown or any other
sign of dedication, the likelihood is
that the emperor was still living when
this statue of him was set up in. the
distant Roman city.

TENANTS CALM AS
 BLOCK IS AF|RE
Stand in Windows and Watch as Flames Are Fought

An oyerheated stove in the rear of the store at 20S Arch street owned by Mrs. Mary Lazaro and run by Bessa Antonio, Is thought to hayo been responsible for q SS50 fire last night at 11:0j o'clock, which endangered the lives Of at least 40 persons who lived in the upper stories Of 'he building.
 An alarm from box No brought Companies No. 1, 2, 3, 6 and Truck Companies No and to the scene Of the fire, which was eXtngushed after a l5-minute battle. Deputy Chief Nj, r, Souney directed the men and Chief William J. Noble was at the store in civilian clothes.
 Pedestrians who happened 10 be passing noticed the counters in the rfar Of the store were blazing. An alarm was turned in and the fromen soon had the fire out, but smoke hampored their work for a while. The fire never looked serious, and the occupants Of the upper floors were not alarmed. Most of them stood at tho window and watched the fremen work. Very few of the tenants came 10 the street to watch the fire and there was no furniture or clothing taken out Of the build ing.
 Antonio and his wife were hys- terical and had to be forcibly de- aimed from entering the store. Chief Noble found the man weeping out side of his store, and 1t is thought hat he has no insurance, Directly in he rear of the store there is bed room, but no one was there at the lime of the fire,
 A large crowd which gathered was controlled by Sergeants Patrick Nc Away and Michael Flynn, together with force of policemen.

PRE- N)ENT
RAPS HIGH
PENSIONS

President Coolidge believes the
retirement bill reported yesterday
by the House Civil Service Com
mittee is too liberal both in re-
gard to annuities and age limits,
it was learned officially at the
White House today.
Although he has not seen the
bill, and is not therefore prepared
to say what action he would take
if it passes Congress, the Presi-
dent let it be known that he still
believes a maximum annuity of
$1,000 is more than necessary,
and that the retirement ages set
in the bill at so, 81 and 65 years
of age, are too low.
Matter Of Efficiency
The Executive disapproval of the
House bill is evidently not based
entirely on desire for economy,
but principally a belief that the
provisions of the bill are too liberal
from an efficient viewpoint. No
specific reference was made at the
White House today in regard to
the amount this bill would cost the
Government, although this has been
an important consideration in
previous discussions of the subject.
The White House spokesman
pointed out that there are no laws
exempting citizens from the bur-
den Of paying taxes after they at.
tain the age Of sixty years, and
contrasted that with railway mail
clerks, who, under this bill, would
be retired at the age of sixty,
with a liberal pension from the
Government.
He pointed out, however, that in
Massachusetts, a man is relieved
from paying a poll tax after he
reaches the age of seventy. This
Is the. figure the President favors
for a retirement age for Govern,
ment employees.
The President, ii is said, realizes
the difficulty of reaching fair age
of average disability. He compares
this problem with the difficulty in
setting fair minimum age limit for
voters. This age limit, he said, has
been set at Fl years although there
are many persons capable Of voting
before they reach that md others
who are not really capable i til they
become much older. -
$54,OOO,OOO Estimated Cost
The bill to which the Presidential
spokesman referred Is the one re.
ported by the House Civil Service
Committee yesterday setting the
age limit for clerical employees at
IS years. the retirement age for
mail carriers and mechanics at 81
years, and the age for railway mail
clerks at so, with maximum
annuity of $1,000, a contribution
from the employees of per cent of
their total salary, and a divisor in
computing annuities of 40.
The measure, it Is estimated,
would cost about $54,000,000 annual
Iy, of which the deductions from
the salaries Of employees would pay
$50 100000 annually while the re.
mainder would be paid by the Gov
eminent.

LONDON, April 6.-Explora-

made here by Mr.. and Mrs. James
A. Stillman in. an effort to train
their harmonious winds and

After announcing in Paris that
they would not find it necessary
to consult a psycho-analyst, the
Stillmans slipped quietly into
London for consultations with DR..

Psyche Analyst and the Psychoses"
and translator of Jung.
Mrs. Stillman Pleased
Mrs. Stillman is enthusiastic in
her praise of the results of their
conference with DIR. Baynes, which
she says is tuning their minds into
harmony. StiIlman Is more reticent
in his views on the value Of psyche
analysis. though he continues to

The. decision to consult the psy.
cho.analyst does not indicate that
there has been any rift in the

mans first came to Europe, DIR.
Baynes was in South Africa and
it was only a few days ago that
they learned of his return and came
to London to consult him.
The course of conferences and
treatment" is expected to last
three weeks, at the end of which
time Mr.. and Mrs. Stillman plan
to return to New York.
Both Seem Happy
Apparently very happy, Mr.. and
Mrs. Stillman are keeping very
much to themselves and rarely
leave their fashionable Mayfair
Hotel except to take quiet trips to
the English countryside. They both
display reluctance to discuss
themselves or the treatments"

SHED FOR
BANDIT
~ InternationaI News Service

BY international News Service
HARTFORD. Conn, April 6.
Unmourned, the body Of Gerald
Chapman-who paid the price for
a life of crime with his own life
at the hangman's moose was borne
to an unhallowed grave today.
With only two heavily yelled
and unnamed women, two lawyers.
and a handful of reporters present.
the remains were laid in bleak
wind-swept corner Of Mount St.
Benedict Cemetery, in a plot Of
unhallowed ground, overgrown
with weeds.
Not . Tear Shed
Not a tear was shed; not flower
was in evidence. There was no
tribute from the many who were
the friends of Chapman when he
was a king of the underworld,
spender and benefactor of sorts.
With brief. almost inaudibIe
prayer, and few perfunctory re-
marks by the Rev. Michael +.
Barry, the Catholic prison chaplain,
who was Chapman's last friend and
comforter, the body was lowered
into the grave.
Two gravediggers and an under
taker lent an air of professional
grief to the occasion, but it was
evident that most OF those who
came to see Chapman buried came
not for reasons of grief at his going
An IngIOrious Finalel
Interest conferred about the two
women, but their Identities was q
closely guarded secret. 1t is be-
lieved that one of these women was
the witness that the Chapman law
yers had hoped to have heard TO
establish an alibi for Chapman.
The hanging of Chapman early
today was sordidly dramatic END
to a dramatic career. but the
dreary spectacle Of the perfunctory
funeral on the wind-swept cemetery
flats was an inglorious finale to an
inglorious career.
An Enigma to Last
AS the grave-d iggers turned their
spades on the grave OF Chapman
thew covered the last traces of one
of the most notorious figures In
the annals of American crime.
Chapman went to his grave an
enigma, MS he had lived
AS far as. can be learned the
bandit left behind him no will, no
documents showing any earthly con-
nections, and no statement of con.
fession or denial
Twenty years of crime is said to
have brought him more than
million dollars.
When he was hanged today he
had left but two gold-plated collar
buttons.
The bandits share of the Leonard
Street mail robbery Of S2.400,000 in
negotiable bonds was close to a
million.
The New Britain burglary yielded
him no more than $500 and the
moose.
Chapman, like his colleague,
Dutch" Anderson. had been sur
with a plethora of the 70
mantle lore of the world Of crime,
but neither Chapman nor Anderson
left behind tncul any records. save
