TUT CURSE STILL STALKS
DR.. WeigaII, Explorer,
Dies MysteriousIy
In London Home

LONDON, Jan. 3 G.N.SO The
f,tal course of Tutankhamen" was
recalled today in the death under
mysterious circumstances Of Ar
t ur Weigall, SO, famous Egyptolo-
gist.
The Course" tradition was that
anyone connected, directly or in
directly, with the opening of the
tomb of the famous old Egyptian
king would die mySteriously.
Weigall was present at the
opening of thC tomb and was
active in the famous archaeological
expedition 10 years ago.
Regarding his death in a Lon
don hospital a friend said today:
"He had been i'll for about six
months, but the exact cause Of
his death seems a mystery"
Although many Scoffed at the
Curse Of Tutankhamen," Weigall
was not among them. He often
had remarked that one of the
dead queens of Egypt still had re-
markable powers.
The death Of Weigall, whose
first wife was the former HortenSe
Schleiter, of Chicago, recalled
those of other men connected with
the unearthing of Tutankhamen's
tomb. Lord Carnarvon, sponsor of
the expedition, died in 1923. Regi-
nald L. Wendell, brother-in-law of
Lord Carnarvon, died in 1928 at

PRUNE-BUY|NG
TIME : HERE

This is a good time to buy
prunes, provided you like 'em and
haven't any around the house
right now.
Prices of the wrinkled fruit in
Washington are lower now than
they have been for many weeks,
reports the Consumers Counsel of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, in announcing the
results of a study Of retail food
prices here and in other cities.
The lowly prune, it seems, cost
11.3 cents a pound on November
81 in the average local store, but
dropped to 1913 cents a pound by
December S.
Sharp drops were reported also
for pork chops, which went from
20 to 24.9 cents a pound in the
period studied, and for eggs, which
decreased from AS to 40.1 cents
Q dozen.
Increases were noted in cheese
and butter, while bread, potatoes,
lard and milk remained firm. and
slight decreases were found in
wheat flour, hens, steak and
few other commodities.

BEDE[L BEATEN
IN HIS APPEAL

Conviction of William E. Bedell,
on a charge of housebreaking and
larceny of 5000 from a safe Of
the Breyer Ice Cream Company,
was upheld yesterday in an opin-
ion of the District Court of Ap-
peals.
Bedell and three other men were
arrested in connection with the
theft, which occurred in July,
1882. The other defendants were
James E. Gro and August Pag-
lie cohini, who pleaded guilty, and
illiam F. Cush, who was freed
by a directed verdict. Grove, son
Of a park policeman, made a
I..tement to detectives implicat-
ing all of them in the crime.
However, upon trial of the case,
Grove repudiated his written
statement and claimed he had not
seen Bedell on the night Of the
crime. At this point the Govern
ment expressed surprise and over
objections of defense counsel was
given permission to cross-examine
Grove, it's own witness.
The defense counsel contended
this, coupled with permitting the
prosecutor to read excerpts from
Groves written statement, was
error on the part of the trial
court. The Court of Appeals
failed to agree with the conten-
tion, holding the examination was
proper and the trial court had
protected the defendants rights
in it's charge to the jury.

SICKNESS
On DECLINE

The dread menace Of sleeping
sickness, which swept st. Louis
last summer and threw the entire
country in state Of apprehen-
sion, is gradually diminishing, the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice announced today.
In November, only 268 cases
were reported, compared with 602
for october. In the New England
and Middle Atlantic States, the
number of cases dropped from 262
for the four weeks ended Novem-
ber 4 to "a for the ensuing four
weeks. In the East North Central
section the number dropped from
14O to 80, and in the West North
Central from SO to 20.
The South Central and Noun
tain Area States disclosed a slight
increase, while the Pacific section
reported a decrease.
Cases of communicable diseases
in the District of Columbia for
the week ended December 9, 1888,
were featured by a considerable
increase in measles over the CORE
spending period of 1882. The
number of cases for the 1888 week
totaled 81, compared with only
two in 1882. There is no cause
for alarm, however, it was pointed
out, the 1888 figure representing
a normal seasonal number, while
the 1882 figure was abnormally
low. There were 10 cases of
diphtheria and two of influenza.

JACKASS' SONS
ABSENT, ALAS

There will be no "sons Of the

Congress which starts today.
Such a title was given to Q
group of Middle Western Repub-

ministration when the Repub-
licans had control of the Senate.
Now, however, those who were
considered a part of the "sons Of

stitute the group which is eX'

AAA To REDUCE.
PERSONNEL

Gradual reduction of low-salaried
personnel in the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration was fore
cast today by officials of one Of
the major moves in their efforts
to improve the efficiency of the
organization.
The reduction will be achieved,
it was said, by eliminating ineffi-
cient workers as fast as their tenn
porary appointments expire and
by filling newly created or vacated
positions through the transfer Of
existing employees, rather than
through the hiring Of new ones.
The entire force, including Off
cials, now numbers more than
3,7OO. This number is "top heavy"
officials said, and calls for a de-
crease as quickly as it can be salts
factorily arranged.
The precise number of positions
to be eliminated cannot be esti-
mated at present, officials added.
In the most recent Of the shake
ups in the AAA, about 100 officials
and employees were removed.
