NEV.' YORK, Ffeb. I.S.—Unex- I
pecteuiy firm .Liverpool cables were i
followed by active covering in the I
cotton market at the opening toda>. ;
First prices wore firm at an at.- ■
vance of 43 to CO poihts, except for i
Novel. w’nicn was 73 points high- !
er and May contracts sold at 32.1a j
on the call or 70 points above Satur- j
day's closing. Liverpool v«is an ac
tive boxer here, but houses with
southern and western connections
were sellers at tire opening advance,
and prices soon eased off under re
newed liquidation with May selling
down to 31.60 and July to 30.4a be
fore the end of the first half hour
or within 15 points of the. previous t
close Private cables said that, ru j
mors that the British dockciv strike ,
had been settled were not confirmed. |
but: Liverpool was an acti.'e buyer j
here and continental buying was re
ported in the Liverpool market.
Id verpool showed continued firm
ness, and was a considerable buyer
here, but the local market failed to
hold the opening advance and fluc
tuations were nervous and irrcgul-u
later. Local traders swmed to be
waiting lor news as to the action o!
Manchester spinners on short time I
proposals, an 1 the late forenoon sell
ing here was accompanied by reports
of' a continued poor demand for cot
ton goods. May contracts eased off
to 81.50, or about 65 points from the
high price of the morning, and with- j
in 5 points of Saturday's closing, j
The market was a few points up ;
from the lowest at mid-day. with
trading less active and the tone ‘un
certain.
The buying movement promoted
by the purchase of Livperpool ap
peared to have run its course and
the market turned weak during the
early afternoon under a renewal of
liquidation and general selling. May
broke to 30.75 or 140 points from the
high level of the morning and 70
points net lower. Prices were with
in a point or two of the lowest
around 2 o'clock with old crop,
months showing net losses of fifty
to sixty points.

NEW ORLEANS CO-
NEW ORLEANS, Feb IS.—As
Liverpool came in much better than 1
due particularly on the old crop
deliveries, the cotton market opened
42 to 4S points higher on the near
positions and 30 points up on Oc
tober. Liverpool appeared to be in
fluenced mainly by unfavorable
weather in the belt over Sunday,
as V ,ere were no developments in
the dock strike which is still on.
After advancing four to eight points
additional right after the start, the
market eased off gradually on realiz
ing, some hedge selling and sales
by short scalpers. The market then
quieted down and was steady at
the end of the first half hour of
trading with May at 31.22 and July
30.33.
Cotton ruled steady and compara
tively quiet following the moderate
recession from the early high at the
close of the first h*alf hour of trad
ing. Liverpool closed strong and
with one to two penny points of
the highest of the day there. New-
York advices claimed that the mar
ket was heavily oversold and bore
evidence of the existence of a large
short interest. Manchester cabled
that there was a much better de
mand for cloths from India and
China. The resignation of Secretary
of the Navy Denby and the decision
of the British labor cabinet to inter
vene to end the dock strike were sus
taining features. In the half hour
before noon the market eased off on
renewed selling and made a new low
at 30.83 for May, and 29.97 for July,
but rallied again near noon when
May traded at 30.92 and July at
30.05.
The cotton market weakened
sharply after noon and established
n*w lows for the day with May 30.06
and July 29.27. or 70 to 77 poiTtts
dov n from the earlier low. The
weaker tone was attributed to re*
newal of short selling and lack of
any sort of sustained bullish sup
port. The selling was also in some
measure attributed to a report of the
bureau of markets claiming good
progress in crop preparations in the
weestern belt and prospective in
creased acreage in that section.

GRAIN
I _ i
CHICAGO (Monday), Feb. IS. — I
■ Wheat developed a heavy tonembout i
i midsession today. Ths opening was
! fairly steady with little wheat for
! sale and a fair Sprinkling of buying
j orders. A minute or two later there
! was an increase in commission
i house selling and the market wo’k
j ed downward until local bull lead
l ers came to the rescue.
Wheat closed 7-8 to 1 cent lower.
May, $1.09 7-8 to $1.10; July, $1,09 5-8
to $1,09 3-4; September, $1,09 5-8.
Spreaders, who sold in Winnipeg,
also took wheat out of the pit.
About mid session a local mill re
ported a shut-down partly be
i cause of the lack of business and
■ this increased the pressure. Liver-
I pool strength was due to the dock
j workers' strike, caused a half in
' the demand for wheat from that
country and the seaboard expects
some reselling by Liverpool mer
chants of wheat that they will be
unable to handle. Domestic milling
demand was quiet.
Corn closed 3-8 to 3-4 cents lower.
May, 79 3-S to 71) 14c; July, 79 7-8 to
Site; September. 80 1-Sc.
Corn also had a heavy tone to-
I day. the depressing influence being
ihe heavy receipts. Arrivals were
estimated at 799 cars and the hedg
ing pressure against Lh-se receipts
did much to cause the decline. Cash
corn was off I@2 cents with dis
j counts 1-2@l -cent wider. Receivers
• reported that there is no noticeable
' Jet-tip in consignment notices. Ship- I
ping demand is slow. Sales of 100,- I
000 bushels of contract corn were |
made to go to store.
Oats were unchanged to 1-4 cent
lower. May, 47 7-8 c; July, 45 5-Sc;
September, 43c.
Oats were easier with other grain.
? ,! < Te hedging n"-~-ure was noted.
Buying by houses with foreign tv
count -caused a steady tone in pro
visions.
Lard closed unchanged to 2 1-2
cents lower, and ribs 2 1-2 to 5 cents
lower.

SENATE CONFIRMS
POMERENE; ACTION
ON AIDE DEFERRED
(Continued from Page 1)
mitt.ee, defended the apointments,
declaring that both Mr. Pomerene
and Mr. Roberts were men of ability
and fully capable of handling the
cases. He contended thJt the real
questions involved were the legality
of tlie contracts and whether there
was executive authority for the
transfer of the control of the naval
ojl reserves from the navy to interior
departments.
Lodge Backs Pomerene s
Land laws, lie argued, are involv
ed only in icidental questidns such
as whether there was a conspiracy
by which the Standard Oil interests
were to give Harry F. Sinclair a
clear field to obtain the lease of Tea
pot Dome.
Interrupted by Senator Norris, Re
publican, Nebraska, Senator Lenroot
agreed that rhe land -law was hte
real question involved in the pro
posal to recover Sections 1G and 3t>
in California.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, also support
ed Mr. Pomerene as “a man of hon
or; a man of ability; a man of energy;
a man to be. trusted.”
What we need here in this great
work,” Senator Lodge said, “is
energy, patriotism and determina
tion to serve the country- regardless
of anything else. f don’t' believe
there is a man in the country who
will serve with greater energy than
Senator Pomerene.”
Opening the fight against Mr.
omerer.-.'. Senator Dili, Democrat
hin?tcn. who also initiated the
light for ‘lie open session of the
senate, expressed the hope that
courtesy” would not in
.iience the votes cf any senators.
He de-lared i'ie issue should b? met
squarely, and demanded to know
what the country would think if
tv!^ ! ' a!e 13 to Senator
na,sn or. t tie question of counsel."
President “Thoughtless”
Opposing the nominations, Sena
tor-Wheeler, Democrat, Montana,
declared that the thing that “nau
seated” him was that “the presi
dent in his selections has given no
apparent thought to the qualifica
tions of the men.
* First, tlie president appointed
Mr. Gregory without inquiring as to
oil ( jn ter ests,” Senator Wheel*.-
said. “Then he appointed Mr.
Stray n. Now he has named a. man
from the Democratic party knowing
it. would be difficult for many on
this side to vote agaihst .him. Ap
parently the only reconimendation
for Mr. Roberts was the indorse
ment of the senior senator (Pepperi
from Pennsj’lvania.”
Senators Pittman, Nevvida, and
Jones, New Mexico, Democrats, in
explaining beforehand why they
would vote for Mr. Pomerene, de
clared they were weary of delay,
and that in any event there was no
assurance that the president would
appoint men of greater ability than
the last two he had selected.
Senators Norris and Stanlev.
Democrats, Kentucky, told the sen
ate they would follow the lead of
Senator Walsh in this matter, as
he was better acquainted with the
facts and the laws.
TWO DETROIT ATTOI NEYS
DEFEND DENBY LEA 1
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Two
Detroit attorneys George L. Canfield
and Hal H. Smith, who said they
had been sent to Washington by
“friends of Edwin Denby” issued
it joint statement today defending
at length the navy secretary’s
course in the oil leasing program.
They went over- all the legal as
pects of the case as argued out in
the oil committee, and declared .Mr.
Denby had been a victim of “politi
cal chicanery” and of “public
clamor.”
At Air. Denby’s office it was said
that the presence of the lawyers
here and their purpose was no‘
known.
WORK AT TEAPOT SITE
PRACTICALLY AT STANDSTILL
CASPER, Wyo.. Feb.' 16.—De
velopment onerations on the Teapot
oil dome. 45 miles north of here,
have been practicallv at a standstill
since early winter. W. L. Connelly,
vice -president, and general manager
of the Mammoth Oil company, stated
today in response to a report that
tlie company had shut down oper
ations because of the senate oil
committee’s investigation. When
major operations were suspended,
drilling of only one new well and
the deepening of two old ones to
a lower sand were continued. The
new hole wa« completed recently,
and operations still are in progress
on the deep tests, which are headed
for the Lakota formation, accord
ing to Mr. Connelly.
No more drilling will be instituted.
Mr. Connelly stated, until advices
are received from Harry Sinclair
Last year's development program
was not. launched until the middle
of March. The company has com
pleted to date 86 wells in the Tea
pot field.
The Alammoth company made no
provision for winter operations,
water lines being left exposed ex
cept on the few wells on which
work was in progress.
LONDON SEES HEALTHY SIGN

LONDON. 'Feb. 16.—Agitation in

Dome oil lease investigation is
termed by the Morning Post today
“a healthy sign of the determine,

Recalling sindlar scandals in

CHR’STIMTS OFFICE
USED OF INTERESTS.
COMMITTEE IS TOLD
tv A SIH.NG TON, Feb. 16.—A sug
gestion that some one, sought to
use the office, of George B. Chris
tian, Jr., while he was secretary to
the president, to' forestall govern
ment action against a motion pic
ture corporation, was made today
before the senate interstate com
merce committee.
The committee, whleli has under
consideration Air. Christian’s nomi
nation to be a memoer of the fed
eral trade commission, was told by
Huston Thompson, one of the pres
ent members,' that ?»ir. Christian
called him to the White House and
a.'.ked vJhy a complaint was being
drawn up against the Famous Play
ers-Lasky corporation, without giv
ing them e. hearing..
Commissioner Thompson said he
was surprised that the White House
knew of the commission’s investiga
tions, and regarded Mr. Christian’s
statements to him as “unusual.” A
complaint at that time had not been
decided on, but one was issued
the commission later —in May. 1921.
Felt lie Was “Interested”
Senator Bruce. Democrat, Mary
land. asked if the interview had
given the witness “an impression
that. Air. Christian was connected
professionally with this company.”
“I felt he was interested,” was
the reply, “or he would no: have
asked the questions he did.”
Replying further, Air. Thompson
said it seemed ‘‘that some one was
using Mr. Christian's office to pre
vent action."
“I reported the incident to the
remainder of the commission, be
lieving it had some connection with
reports made by our field agents
that they had been told the case
would never go through—that
things would happen which would
block it. On the following day we
met and voted to issue the com
plaint.''
The interview took place in the
president’s private office, the wit
ness said, but only himself and Mr.
Christian were present.
“I want to say,” said Mr. Thomp
son, “that. I don’t believe President
Harding had the slightest connec
tion with this matter."
Christian May' Appear
“Did you think there was some
impropriety in the president’s secre
tary thus approaching an important
agency of the government upon
pending cases?” he was asked.
“It was unusual at least.”'
“Were you ever called Io the
White House on any other case?"
“No.” '
The committee .adjourned until
next Wednesdt;Wafter deciding that
Mr. Christian $ ould be given an op
portunity to appear before it if he
desires. A number of union labor
leaders have filed pro
tests against the nomination, and

TUT’S TOMB IN NO MAN’S LAND;
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS LIKELY
TO SETTLE CARTER’S RIGHTS
Egyptologist Holds Keys But
May Not Enter as Native
Government Insists _on
Contract Regulation Right
CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 17.—The
Egyptian government’s action re
garding Tutenkhamun’s tomb, it is
declared here, will be based entirely
upon the terms of Howard Carter’s
concession and the agreement of
February 7, governing the admis
sion of visitors to the tomb, of which
Mr. Carter was a signatory and the
government will act entirely from its
legal rights.
Every measure will be taken to
preserve the valuable treasures of
the tomb.
The situation existing In the val
ley of the kings has no precedent in
the annals of Egyptology. The dif
ferences between Mr. Carter and. the
Egyptian authorities have placed
Tutenkhamun’s tomb virtually in
No Man’s Land, for Mr. Carter holds
the keys to the woodenlsteel gates
while the Egyptian government has
put%the tomb out of bounds by an
nouncing that the officials of the
antiquities department have the
right to call upon the armed police
on duty in the valley to repel any at
tempts to enter it.
A permanent watch has been es
tablished by three native inspectors
of the department of antiquities to
see that tjiese orders are enforced.
Direct telephonic communication has
been established between the valley
and the headquarters of the chief in
Spector of antiquities for upper
Egypt situated outside of Luxor on
the Karnak road, the telephone box
being within a hundred yards of Tut-*
enkhamun’s tomb. The chief inspec
tor, who is an Englishman and whom
the government has entrusted with
the execution of its orders, is thus in
immediate contact with the tomb
guards.
In recognition of the fact that the
present situation is wholly untenable,
the general expectation here is that
the Egyptian government will claim
to exercise its right under the con
tract with Mr. Carter and take over
the tomb and complete the work of
exploration. In such an event it
is assumed the excavators will re
sort to legal proceedings to deter
mine whether the government is en
titled to exercise this right.
Luxor is buzzing like a beehive,
for every foreign excavator fears
the Egyptian government may make
the present incident the occasion for
revising the whole ( system under
which foreigners are granted licenses
to dig. For many years past tlie
situation by which the bulk of exca
vation in Egypt has been done by
foreigners with foreign capital and
taking a share of the findings as a
reward, has created constant fric
tion between the government and the
excavators.
CARTER DEFIED AUTHORITY,
IS EGYPTIANS CLAIM
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The
Egyptian legation today made this
explanation of the much-discussed
incident of the closing of Tutenkh
amun’s tomb:
"According to an understanding
in which Howard Carter participat
ed the Egyptian government decid
ed to regulate the visits to the tomb.
Wednesday, February 13, was re
served exclusively for the press.
“Mr. Carter asked permission for
a certain number of his personal
friends to visit the tomb on that
day. The Egyptian government re
fused his* request, in accordance
with the agreement, and Mr. Car
ter, not satisfied with the refusal
of the government, threatened to
take legal proceedings and closed
the tomb. •
‘‘Tlie Egyptian government could
not allow defiance of its authority,
and took steps to have the laws and,
regulations respected.
“The Egyptian legation stated that
it hoped that Air. Carter's action
would not fail to create ‘universal
indignation.’ ______

been violated, the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan, Inc., on Saturday
filed in the Fulton superior court a
petition for a contempt ruling
against two officials and all the
members of Nalhan Bedford Forrest
Kian No. 1. A temporary inunction
also was secured, restraining Klan
No. 1 from holding meetings, using
the klan ritual, initiating candidates,
or collecting dues.
The petition charges that Klan
No. 1, which is rhe parent organiza- x
tion of the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan, but which seceded from the
national order seme months ago at
the height o fthe controversy be
tween Dr. Hiram W. Evans, impe
rial wizard, and William Joseph Sim
mons, founder and former emperor
of the klan, is bound by injunc
tion secured last August. This order
restrained Klar. No. 1 from holding
"rneetings in the name of the Ku
Klux Ailan, using the klan ritual,
and posing as a part of
the klan.
The petition filed Saturday is di
rected against Henry J. Norton, ex
alted cyclops, and Earl M. Carmain,
klokann, respectively of Nathan Bed

The cross bill resulted in an injunc
against Klan Nor 1 as outlined above.
The cross bill resulted in ian injunc
tion against Klan No. 1, but the lat
ter’s petition wjs dismissed January

It is charged in the petition filed
Saturday that despite the injunction
secured last August there has been
no cessation of operations by Klan
No. 1, and that meetings have been
held, candidates have been initiated
and dues collected.
A rule nisi v»as issued, directing
Klan No. 1 and the other defendants
