W NEWLY LOCATED TDIWB MAY Y ELD VALUABLE DATA Sarcophagus Believed That of Senef eru, Founder of 4th Dynasty, Egypt SPAN IS 5900 YEARS Scientists Not Yet Certain Whether Discovery Is That of Ruler or Underling. (AMoelited Fran Lasatd Win.) LONDON, Mar. 10. Egyptoto ogists here agree that If .the tomb found by the Boston-Harvard, ex pedition deep down In the rocks near the great pyramid at Giia proves to be that ot the Pharaoh which preceded the renowned pyr amid builder Cheops, lta Import ance is far greater than that of Tut-Ankh-Amen because It la some thousand of yearn older and the contenta may throw light upon that remote period about which very little la known. The Pharaoh Seneferu, whose name ia variously spelled by English ' Egyptologists, was the first builder of the fourth dynasty (about 4,000 B. C), while Tut-Ankh-Amen reigned as late as the 18th dynasty, the history of which la fairly familiar. Moreover, Tut-Ankh-Amen was a relatively unim portant king . while Seneferu waa regarded as one ot the founders of the Egyptian empire, and a man of great enterprise and energy. Sir Wallls Budge, who lately re tired from the post of keeper ot Egyptian antiquities in the Brit ish museum, told the- Daily - Ex press that, if the tomb proved to be that of Seneferu and had not been plundered, It waa almost cer tain to yield objects of priceless value. The Cairo dispatch yesterday, telling of the discovery, said the sarcophagus had been unearthed intact, with much funeral furni ture Inside. Near the sarcopha gus, which was a large one of mar-1 ble, with gold decorated columns, and resting upon what seemed to be a palm was the seal of Sene feru. Mummy May Be That of Menial CAIRO, Egypt, Mar. 10. Al though It is generally hoped that the newly discovered tomb at Giza unearthed by the Boston-Harvard expedition contains the mummy of the Pharaoh Seneferu and records ot his reign, there Is considerable doubt as to this tmong the Egyp tologists here. Several consider it unlikelv that a king who built himself two pyramids at Medumaj and Dahspur should finally have been so modest as to order his own Interment 90 feet below the surface, thus obliterating the per sonality of the powerful and pros perous ruler. They therefore express the opin ion that it ia unwise to raise great hopes at present lest the public be disappointed If the exploration re veals only the mummy of a mem ber of the king's family or even perhaps some retainer, such aa a serving man or barber.

The senate late thia after- noon rejected the nomination of Charlea B. Warren of Micht- gan to be attorney general. 4 4'4444 WASHINGTON . ia n- dispute over Charlea B. Warren'a -uuuuauon to do attorney-general was resumed today in the senate. Chairman Cummins of the Judio lary committee defended h. lnee againat the charges that have been brought againat him while the burden of the opposition waa taken over by Senator Reed, dem ocrat Missouri. Opening the debate. Senator Cummlna declared the whole argu ment of those who oppose confirm ation rested on a supposition that r. warren would not faithfully execute the laws. Just because he had been faithful to ons client in private lire, the aenator aald, hi enemlea appeared to believe he would not be faithful to another. "If he Is an honest man," he con tinued, "he will execute the laws of the United States lust aa faithfully and just aa diligently as is in his power." Senator Cnmmlna said the presi dent should have free choice" In the selection of members of his official family, "and should be held responsible for the faithful execu tion of the law." Reviewing Mr. Warren's connec tion with the sugar Interests, the Iowa aenator declared the nom inee's "sole interest In the sugar Interests waa to place the Michi gan Sugar company on Its feet so . It could produce sugar."

Senator Cummlna said It waa urged that Mr. Warren was not a fit person to become attorney-general becauae in 1902 he acted aa counsel for persons connected with the American Sugar Refining com pany in the purchase of a urge amount of the stock ot beet sugnr corporations In Michigan; that In 1906 he participated in the organ ization of the Michigan Sugar cor poration of which ho became coun sel and afterwards president; and that the American Sugar refining company, together with the Michi gan 8uxar company and certain other individual defendants, of whom Mr. Warren waa one, were prosecuted later by the govern ment for violation of the 8nerman anti-trust law.
