TREASURES OF
EARL CARNARVON
AROUSE INTEREST
By Associated Press.
LONDON. April 6.—The untimely
death of the Earl of Cnrnarvon before
he could present the full harvest of
his Egyptian discoveries appeals
deeply to popular sympathy here. and
many appreciative editorial and obit-
gory notices appear in the press to-
ay.
These articles emphasize among
other things the loss which egloglogy
has suffered in the death of the man
who brought to it energy, enterprise
and wealth.
All the despatches from Cairo agree
essentially to his illness and its
cause. No statement by physicians
has been received and inasmuch as
there seems to be nothing unusual to
report. none is expected.
The late Earle's friends here be-
lieve that his health suffered from
his activities connected with the work
at King Tutenkhamun’s tomb. To
this were added the excitement and
worry following the great discovery.
with the result that he became weak-
ened physically and was therefore less
able to resist the attack of illness that
proved fatal.
Carnarvon is credited with having
said recently that he was “worried to
death‘v by the countless telegrams.
letters and requests of all kinds from
archeologists and learned societies.
The disposition of the late Earl's
rare collection of antiques has alreaa-
become a question of public intere
Recognized as one of the most im-
portant men in the world. the Car-
narvon treasures include many rari-
ties of all pariah. several of which
were purchased at very high prices
The collection is said to include a por-
trait statue that of Thothems III.
which was found in Egypt during the
war by native excavators. Carnarvon
paid some thousands of pounds for
the little treasure. It is about seven
inches in height and is made of solid
gold. It dates back to approximate!)
1560 B. C. _
Whether the Earl disposes of his
collection in his will is unknown. but
the hope is expressed that he may
have bequeathed t to the nation. The
possibility of it b as sold. is also sus-
grated.
The public knows littTc or Lord
Portchcster. the new Earl of Carnar-
von, beyond the fact that he is an of-
‘f'lcer in a cavalry regiment and ”13"
he 1. reputod to be a skillful horse-
man. With his succession to the HUB
another American peeress comes into
British society. but it is not known
whether her husband wm return to
his duties in India or will retire to
enjoy his. new rank.
SJOGREN SENTENCED
MIDDLETOWN. April 6.-—-Joseph
L. Siogrcn. who killed his brother
Gustaf, in Portland. January 8. 1913.
today pleaded guilty to murder in the
second degree and was sentenced to
life imprisonment by Judge C. L.
Avery in the Middlesex County Supe-
rior court. The grand jury indicted
Sjorgen for first degree murder. The
man had confessed his crime.
The court session was short. State
Attorney Ellis related the story of the
crime and Dr. Roy L. Leeks. superin-
tendent of the Conn. State Hospital.
testified that from an examination of
Siogren he was convinced that he was
sane.
No relatives of the man was in
court so far as was larened. The
court room was fairly well filled.
Biogren in his confession after his
arrest recently in Hamilton. Ohio.
said that he had had a quarrel with
the brother over a quarter of a dot-
lar. He hit the brother with a revol-
ver butt and shot him four times. He
hid the body in a heap of stones and
two days later left town. The body
was found. but no trace of Siogren
was found until he voluntarily sur-
rendered himself at Hamilton. He
was brought back without objection.
Biogren had said that his conscience
had worried him and this fact led him
to give himself up.
The case of Julius Land. indicted
for murder in the lecond degree. will
be called next Wednesday and 100
talesmen have been called.

By Associated Press.
NE“! YORK. April 6.—The
tude of persons in high offical

ant
professional position who tacitly sanc-
tion violation of the prohibition
laws by purchasing bootleg liquor is a
matter for serious thought. li‘ederal
Prohibition Commispioner Haynes dc-
clnred in an address today before the

ference.
"These citizens." Commissioner
Haynes said. "seem not yet to have

"fire you for or againsr tne constitu-
tion of the United States?" It is not to
be wondered at that bootleggers and
criminals will violate the law for
’the sake of possible illegal gains. but
it is difficult to understood how pro-
minent clubmen. business and profes-
sional men become to such viola-
tions.
If there can be any different de-
gree of responsibility among citizens
of right observance of law, men of
such influential cfrcles as these should
be considered even more guilty than
those of whom society expects

for other laws——-a lack of regard upon
the part of others foi- the law; upon

prised in the breakdown of the gov-
