CARTER SEEKS _ _ TO BE TRUSTEE OF TUT'S TOMB Cairo.. Egypt. Feb. 23.--Howard Carter's application for a, writ ap pointing himself a trustee to the tomb of Tut Ankh Amen, in the Val-- ley of the Kings was heard~today by Pierre Crabites, :American judge of the Mixed Court. C The 3,000 year old tomb, which was reopened late yesterday: by Pierre Lacau, government director geneari of antiquities, was closed today, pre-- caustions have been taken to protect the Sarcophagus of Tut Ankh Amen's mummy. Later it will be reopened for tourists unless Carter wins his litigation. _ The ancient Pharaoh, after a peace-- ful death sleep of more than 30 cen-- turies, has become the subject of the strangest litigation the world has ever seen. f It is a dispute between the leader of the exploration party--Howard Carter--and the Egyptian govern-- ment.. Carter is seeking-- complete control of the tomb#and 50-- per cent of the articles found within; the gov-- ernment wants to take over the tomb for the profits it will yield from tourists. ®. Arl: * ived neen, when in Princeton a short time ago, threw some interesting side lights on the suit against the lllinois Central Railroad Company, Nu] conducted by Attorney General Ed-- ward J. Brundage, in which, it i8 claimed the railroad company. is cheating the state out of something like $15,000,000 in taxes through an improper method of bookk%" It is a remarkable story and how the state is losing at both ends through the railroad company and the attormney general. The state is being deprived of tax revenue it ought to receive and--at the same time money is being taken' out of the state treasury by Brundage for which the state has received prac-- tically no benefit and 'with the pos-- sibility that it never will.

No effective action has been taken against the railroad corporation by Brundage nor is any in sight. ~Of the $450,000 expended by Brundage in this suit, approxi-- mately $100,000 of the total has gone to his former law partner, B:inson Landon. Other huge sum$s have gone to Homer K. Galpin,' chairman of the republican county 'central committee of Chicago, and to other political attorneys.

Granted Special Charter The Illinois Central railroad at the time of its construction, was granted a special charter by the state legisla-- ture, . No other railroad company in the 'state has snuch a charter. The purpose of the charter granted the llinois Central was to secure a north and ~south railroad running through the middle of the state from Galena to Cairo. : To epcourage the com-- pany and aid in its construction, the Charter carried a special grant of~ thousands of nerelt.:r land. Er-- ery other section of for a con-- siderable distance was given to the company. These lands were sold in part at the time and the remainder a few years later when the road was fin-- ished. In addition to giving the rail-- road company the large land grant. the state provided that the com-- pany ~should pay no taxes into the state treasury, but in lieu of taxes should pay 7 per cent of its gross receipts. thus virtually making the state a sharcholder in the railroad. _ During the first years of its ex-- istence the railroad made a straight accounting to the state. In jlater years when the road became prosper-- ous, means were invented to relieve the state from securing its <percent-- age of the gross receipts. 'These means were devised through a sys-- tem of bookkeeping. > Juggling Road's Earnings Governor Deneen stated that one way of beating the state was through the bookkeeping charges entered against the traffic between Chicago and the South. 88 Within the state of Illinois the rail-- road company has numerous branch: lines, which were not included in the | original charter. A method of dis-- tributing the earnings among those branch lines has also been devised, in all of which the branch lines 32 a . tremendous advantage to the detri-- ment of the original charter line. Big Fees for Lawyer. -- The case brought by the state against the railroad company is an extremely simple one and should have been settled long ago. It con-- sists of merely. adding up the gross earnings of the charter line and. fig-- _uring seven per cent of that _ _ The charter from Illinois with the provision covering the seven per within the state. The railroad com-- pany extended its line to New Or-- leans and in doing so erected a bridge across the Ohio river at Oairo. 'l'he' freight rate, between Chicago and: New --Orleans . when this suit was started was $40 a ton. This was the rate charged the public. :In distrib uting this rate for the purpose of pay-- ing taxes in Illinois, the bridge com-- pany, the stock of which is owned by the railroad company, was . credited with $30 a ton and the railroad com-- pany for the entire distance between Chicago and New 'Orleans $10 a ton. The ten dollars a .ton was pro--rated according to railroad mileage so that the railroad efiny in Iilinois was credited with: than five dollara a ton, and on 'this the company pgid 7 per cent to the state. §"%4 The result is that the bridge com-- pany earns a tremendous profit, all of which is turned over to the railroad company and on which the railroad company pays no taxes. On the other hand, the diverting of this money to the bridge company makes the earn-- ings .of the {:llmd very small. The IIlinois Central, indeed, at . times claims it cannot make expenses. Attorney General Brundage and his experts have been at work on the case for seven years and are not thru yet. At one time under the Deneen administration the case was practi-- cally won by the state. At thb pres-- ent time the case is before the mas-- ter in chancery of La Salle county, where it has been for the g)ut four years. .. 9 _ The Master ruled against Brundage nearly three years ago and Brundage asked for a re--hearing on certain points. There the case has stood ever since. In the meantime, Brundage's law partner is drawing $100 a day and various. political attorneys are drawing large fees.

All this time Brundage has been de-- voting his time and his office to po-- litical intrigue. Hoe is now spen his whole time in trapsing up down the state, accusing Gov, 8 of embessling state funds . on the flimsy charge that a bank M'.l::; state deposits reloaned the to Chicago packers for a higher rate of interest than the bank paid over to the state. This charge is made in spite of the fact that over 250 other Illinois banks were handling state de-- posits at the same time and at the same rate of interest and were re-- loaning for higher rates to their cus-- tomers. Brundage, who is backing Senator Thurlow G. Essington _ of Streater, who is opposing Gov. Small for the Republican nomination, is directing the campaign against the governor almost entirely upon the trumped up charges arising from his handling of state funds while he was treasurer, and which were exploded at the trial in Waukegan. Brundage, with a vin-- dictiveness unparalleled in Illinois politics, has put himself in the posi-- tion where he cannot give loyal sup-- port to the Republican ticket next fall, if Gov. Smail is nominated, and for two years has been ruuning amuck, smashing and wrecking the party right angd left. Last spring he turned the City of Chicago over to the Democrats and now he has serv-- ed notice on the party that they must accept his candidat», Essington, for governor or he will} bolt the ticket and help elect a democratic state ticket next November. tled either way.
