Browne of New York charged with annoying Presi dent Coolidge. has been handled here by the secret service, which is charged with the personal care of the executive. Efforts were made to settle the case without court action, but it was said that the rabbl would not agree to desist from sending letters to the White House.

Letters from Rabbl Browne have been coming to the White House for many years, officials said. Those in regard to the campaign fund began to come last July. Many were ad dressed to Frank W.

U.S. IN EGYPT MAY ECLIPSE CARTER LONDON, Mar. 10. (By Associat ed Press.) Egyptologists here agree that If the tomb found by the Boston Harvard expedition deep down in the rocks near the great pyramid at Glza proves to be that of the Pharaoh who immediately preceded the renowned pyramid builder, Cheophs, its impor tance is far greater than that of Tut-Ankh-Amen because it Is some thou sands of years older and the, contents mny throw light upon that remote period about which very little Is known. The Pharaoh Seneferu whose name is variously spoiled by English Egyptologists was the i'irsi builder of the fourth dynasty (about 4000 B. C.) while Tut-Ankh-Amen reigned as late as the ISth dynasty. Moreover, of which is fairly familiar. Moreover, Tut-Ankh-Amen was relatively unim portant while Seneferu was regarded as one of the founders of the Egyp tian empire and a man of great enterprise and energy. Sir Wallis Budge who lately re tired from the post of keeper of Egyptian antiquities In the British museum, told the Daily Express that, If the tomb proved to be that of Sene feru and had not been plundered, it was almost certain to yield objects of priceless value. (The Cairo dispatches yesterday telling of the discovery said the Sarcophagus had been unearthed in tact, with much funeral furniture in side. Near the sarcophagus, which was a large one of marble, with gold decorated columns and resting upon what seemed to be a palm, was the seal of Seneferu. CATRO, Egypt, March 10. (By the Associated Press.J-f Although it is generally hoped that the newly dis covered tomb at Giza, unearthed by the Boston-Harvard expedition, con tains the mummy of the Pharaoh Seneferu and records of bis reign, there is considerable doubt as to this among the Egyptologists here. Sev eral consider it unlikely that a king who built himself two pyramids at Medum and Dahshur should finally have been so modest as to order his own interment 90 feet below the. sur face, thus obliterating the personality of the powerful and prosperous ruler. They, therefore, express the opinion that it is unwise to raise great hopes at present leHt the public be disap pointed if the exploration reveals only the mummy of a member of a king's family or even perhaps some retniner, such as a serving man or barber. BOSTON, March 1 0. Dr. George A. Relsner, curator of the Lgyptmn department of the Boston - museum of fine arts and professor of Egypt ology at Harvard who heads" the lolnt expedition which has been enn ducting explorations In Egypt for 18 years, last night imputed the newiy discovered tombs to some lesser per sonage than Kings Seneferu or Che ops, although he dirt not minimize the importance of the find to the knowledge of eorly Egyptian history- "It Is an important find, but almost certninly it Is not the tomb of Seneferu,' he said. Dr. Relsner, who arrived In this country a month ago, for a few months vacation, Is staying nt a Boston hotel. Stating that in his belief the pyramid nt Dah Shur was the final resting place of Seneferu while the body of Cheops ,was be lieved to have been thrown into the Nile by his slaves. Dr. Relsner said the newly discovered tomb may be that of a royal retainer. He expects more detailed advices today.
