LONDON, Feb. Id.—The dispute be-
tween Howard Carter and Egyptian
officials over conditions surrounding
work in the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen
has reached a deadlock, according to.
dispatches received here, and the pe-
culiar position of the moment is that
Carter holds the keys to the tomb but
is not allowed to enter.
Mr. Carter, according to th* Cairo
correspondent of the Daily Mall, wrote
to Premier Said Zagloul Pasha, thrent-
ening to take legal action against the
government, to which the premier re-
plied that Carter was free to take ac-
tion but the government was deter-
mined that the appointed days for
visiting the tomb be observed. He
added:
”I am sorry to have to remind you
that the tomb is not your property.
The science which you righty invoke
cannot conceive that owing to the in-
cident over the visit of people whom
you wished to favor, you and your col-
leagues will abandon your investiga-
tions. in which not only Egypt but the
whole world is interested."
The Cairo correspondent of the
Morning Post reported that the Kg¥P-
Uan cabinet decided that Mr. Carter’s
action in closing the tomb on his own
initiative constituted infringement of
contract and that the government con-
sequently is free to continue the work
if it wishes, a course to which the
Egyptian press is strongly urging It.
The correspondent says, however, that
Carter probably will be given the op-
tion of continuing the work subject to
certain definite conditions.

Ths tournament was organized by
the Y. W. C, A. physical department,
and has created much interest among
the girls of Austin. Koock store has
offered an engraved loving cup to the
team that has the highest percentage
at the end of the term. This cup is
on display at the Koock's jewelry
store, 519 Congress Avenue.
With three teams tying for second
place the remaining games promise to
be full of competition and pep. The
style of basket ball used by the girls
is improving and • rough edges are
being rounded off by constant practice
and persistent team work. The games
have done much to instill a good
sportsmanship between the teams.
NEW YORK, Feb. If.—There was
renewed liquidation in the cotton
market at the opening today owing
to weak Liverpool cables, reports that
labor troubles had developed in Lanca-
shire, and the failure of advices from
the domestic good markets to show
any improvement The opening was
barely steady at a decline of 25 points
to an advance of 2 points, new crop
months being relatively steady. May
sold off to 30.97 and July to 29.75 but
there was active covering and prob-
ably some buying for a reaction after
the big break of yesterday. This com-
bined with a moderate trade demand
to fix prices steadied prices after the
first few minutes and there were ral-
lies of 26 or 10 points from the lowest
during the early trading.
The mid-morning rallies met further
flurries of liquidation but there was
a good deal of covering fur over the
week-end, promoted by reports of a
firmer spot basis in the Routh and
rumors of continental buying. After
selling off to 30.97, May rallied to 11.10.
or 46 points net higher, but the market
showed continued nervousness in the
late trading and that delivery closed
at 11.46. The general market closed
barely steady, net 21 points higher to
7 points lower.

that the practice be etopped.
The whole question has been com-
plicated by a three-cornered row
joined la by agents ot ths prohibition
unit, officers of the intelligence di-
vision of the treasury department, end

prohibition officiate engaged in a tarsi
battle to which serious charges were
made against members of both forces
and revere l on both bides were sus-
pended. Three deputy United Statos
marshals now are bold under bond on
charges of conspiracy to violate the
prohibition laws.
While aU of this has been to
progress, charges of liquor baylag by
high officials and ordinary citsens

of hundreds of names of prominent
bootleg customers had been seised to a

today’s stock market, which made
substantial recovery from yesterday
weakness.
Short covering gave Impetus to the
advance, which was also facilitated
by the encouraging tenor of the week-
ly mercantile reviews. Several of the

tory purchases of stocks on the theory
that yesterday's decline had improved
the technical position of the market
and that there was no decided change
in the economic situation.
Houston Oil and Chandler Motors
led on the rebound, each gaining 4
points while General Electric, Bald-

Earl Combs, brilliant outfielder pur-
chase by the Yankees from ths Louis-
viile A, A Club, has written Manager
Huggins that he would like to be trie
out st shortstop instead of the garden
job. Maybe the kid figures that with
Everett Bcott about to step out the
chances of playing regularly will be
better if he can deliver. With Bob
Meusel, Babe Ruth and Whitey Witt
en the job for the gardening work, so
to speak, he sees a bench job ahead.
