Francisco, who was a member of
the party greeting Speaker Nich
olas Longworlh and his friends,
including- Crumpacker, on their
arrival here Friday.
The cause of Representative
Crumpacker's act was believed to
be worry over financial matters.
Notes left by him indicated he
labored under ...the hallucination
that his political and business as
sociates plotted to poison him. The
sentences were rambling, contain
ing frequently the words "They
have killed me."
Other members of the Long
worth party, shocked by the
tragedy,' could throw no 'lighten
Crumpacker's motive. "The trag
edy is unexplainable to me,"
Speaker Longworth declared to
day. "He was cheerful and enter
taining on our trip from Portland
to San Francisco. His death Is a
great loss to his district and to
congress."
"It doesn't seem true," Mrs.
Kahn said. "He was so cheerful
when I met him at the Oakland
mole last Friday."
Crumpacker was to have been a
guest of former United States Sen
ator James D. Phelan today at his
country home and he was to have
attended the annual grove play at
the Bohemian club on August 6.

Water? Declared Found

i LONDON,
July 25. (AP) A
Cairo despatch to the Daily Mail
says that an analysis of the liquid
found In an alabaster canoplc
chest recently taken from a recess
tn the tomb of Cheops, shows that
It consists of a 3 per cent solution
of natron (sesqul-carbonate .of
soda) in water. . This natron is
the usual Egyptian natron which
contains common salt and suit
phate of soda. s .-.
( Dr. George A. Iteisner, Harv
ard Egyptologist. last May opened;
tne sealed recess tn Cheops tomb
and found the canoplc box. which,
contained organic matter with a
clear yellowish liquid. This or
ganic matter was supposed to be
the viscera of Queen Hetepheres,
mother of Cheops.)
The , latest examination has dis
closed 'that the packets immersed
in the liquid, which was about the
same density as sea water, were
in reality , viscera wrapped in
linen. " "
This is the first time that water
has been discovered in an ancient
tomb, and it is considered all the
more rema'rkable as having been
found, not in a tomb of a late
pepriod, but in one of the older
pyramid rfge, nearly 5,000 years
