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.

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." '
"In my opinion," he continued,
'a combination Inteded to chean-
en the coat of a product is never
a violation of the anti-trust law ex
cept when It stifles competition ao
that It can fix the price."
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.
"In 1902," Senator Cummins said,
there were at least seven beet
sugar factories In the state ot
Michigan, owned by as many aep-
arate corporations. Most of them,
probably all of them save one.
