C., March 10.- Charles Beecher Warren of Michigan failed to become attorney general of the United States by a single vote today in the Senate. His nomination was rejected 40-40, vice-president Dawes failing to reach the Capitol from his hotel in time to cast the deciding vote. Administration leaders sought to delay announcement of the result in the hope that the vice-president, whoI was rushing to the Senate in a taxi- cab, voul arrive in time to break the tie. With victory in their grasp, Demo- cratic opponents of the nomination vigorously demanded that the roll call be closed with the announcement of the result, but even then Republican leaders resorted to further strategy in an effort to save the nomination from defeat. Senator Reed, Pennsylvanian, an- I nounced that he would change his vote from yea to nay so that he might present a motion to reconsider the question. That changed the final re- stit technically to 39 for and 41 against confirmation. As soon as Senator Reed made his motion opponents of confirmation countered with a motion to lay it on the table and demanded a roll call. That vote, too, resulted inra tie, 40- 40, but as the vice-president who could have cast the deciding ballot, entered the chamber, Senator Overman of North Carolina, the only Democratic to vote for confirmation, switched his vote. There was no indication tonmht what the President's course might be, the White House having declined to comment on the matter. If he de- cides not to resubmit the nomination to the Senate at this time or make a new one, lie may either leave solicitor general Beck in charge of the justice department until the next session of Congress or make a recess appoint- ment to fill the cabinet vacancy dur- ing that period.

Ouratheh2ran ~ Hfarvard Professor Istimates AIDMPI H~ Age Of Newly Unearthed Tomb Boston, Mass., March 10.-A cable vious to Dynasty VI. It is to be dat- ILL OP[ N 100 A received today by Dr. George A. Reis- ed to the time of King Seneseru, the ner, professor of Egyptology at Har- first king of Dynasty VI, the prede- vard and director of the Harvard Uni- cessor of Cheops, that Is, a period of W T E I O ES 1 versity-Boston museum of Fine Arts, Egyptian expedition definitely estab- lishes the tomb just discovered by the ,xpedition near the Giza pyramid as ieing some 1700 years older than the tomb of Tut-Ankh-amen and of a per- iod which little has been discovered ieretofore. The cable was from Alan Rowe, :;ief assistant of the expedition, whoI ias been working with Dr. Reisner for three years. The expedition was founded in 1905 and actual work be- gan in 1909 in this district. The text of the cable as extended by Dr. Reis- ner is as follows: "The new tomb reported from the eiyacuations of Ahe Harvard-Boston expedition at Giza pyramid is the only important intact tomb yet found pre- 100 years up to about 3,000 B. C. The tomb is situated about 100 metres due east of the great pyramid of Cheops. "On removing the top course of the stone in the masonry blocks which closed the door of the buried chamber, the chamber was seen to be about 18, feet long by 12 feet wide. Inside was an alabaster sarcophagus intact and on the coffin lay an elaborate woven' gold mat with a line of incised hiero- glyphics,, giving a name, indicating its occupant a lady, probably a prin- cess. "The posts of the sarcophagus are sheathed in gold and the floor of the chamber is covered with vessels of bronze and alabaster and a quantity' of gilded wooden furniture which is in bad condition."

BUTLER RETIRES Various -phases of the Near East Relief and of the student kitchen at Kiev were discussed by three speak- ers at the meeting of the Chamber ,f Commerce luncheon yesterday noon. This affair was the last to be held under the administration of W. Hack- ley Butler, retiring president of thel chamber. Rev. H-erbert A. Jump, who acted as chairman of the meeting, paid a tribute to the work of Mr. Butler on behalf of Ann Arbor, char- acterizing him as a man who has given perhaps more time and thought to city problems than has any other one person. Ray Legate, who has spent four years doing relief work among Rus- Ian students, presented a vivid pic- ture of the suffering and degradation that prevails in some of the foreign universities. "Conditions are unbe- lievable to one who - has not lived among the students," Mr. Legate stated. "Eighteen percent of the stu- dents at Kiev have already develop- ed incurable diseases, and this !in spite of the medical attention we have been trying to give them. They must' be taken out if others are to be safe." Mr. V. P. Blaine, a Cleveland busi- ness man, stated that 95 percent of the money contributed actually goes toward relief, only five perc'ent being required for overhead expenses. He outlined briefly the work being car- ried on by the relief, giving as an il- lustration of the real conditions the. fact that 940 percent of the children in one Armenian setlement are or- phans. In one of the relief settle- ments more than 14,000 chuldren have work, he added. SPANISH SOCIETY WILL PRESENT PLY TONI6HTi ard. *1 Dr. Hayford has been ill since last September when he had a stroke of apoplexy. Yesterday it was announc-t ed that the International {Geodetic and Physical conference meeting int Madrid, Spain, had accepted his mea- surement for the length of the polar and equatorial axis of the earth. A year ago he was awarded the Victoria medal by the Royal Geographic So- ciety of Great Britain for offering proof th-at the interior of the earth isI solid rather than molten. He dis- proved also the old theory of earth- quakes being caused by pressure in internal gases and showed that faults and dislodgements of the earth's crust were the impelling forces. Professor Hayford graduated from Cornell university in 1889 with the degree of civil engineer. He was born on a farm at Rouse Point, New York, May 19, 1868. He was appointed a member of the United States coast and geodetic survey after leaving Cornell. Mathematical skill won for him recognition and he was appoint- ed a member of the internation bound- ary commission which established the boundary line between the United States and Mexico in 1892-92. He later returned to Cornell as an in- structor in civil engineering. He was twice chosen delegate by the govern- ment to the International Geodetic conference. le was a member of the national academy of sciences and came to Northwestern university as head of the school of engineering in 1909.

PLAN TO HOLD EXhIBIT EVERY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY SHOW NEW MODELS An Arbor Dealers Association Will Give All Gate Receipts To University Band Ann Arbor's second automobile show will be formally opened at 1 o'clock this afternoon at the Yost field house when Mayor George E. Lewis gives the signal for the massive doors to be thrown open. The show will continue every afte'rion and evening until Saturday. Thousands are expected to attend the show during the four days be- catse of the unusual display of cars and other motorized equipment, and also due to the fact that the entire proceeds of the show are to be d- rected towards the support of the Uni- versity band. The Ann Arbor Auto- mobile Dealers association, the organ- ization sponsoring the show, hopes to realize sufficient funds from the en- terprise to pay all expenses of the band for the current year. The 11 members of the association have been working steadily to make the show a success. The band has complete charge of the sale of tickets, which are 50 cents each, and will re- ceive the entire gate receipts, as the automobile dealers are paying all ex- penses such as decorations, exhibits, and publicity. More than 100 passenger cars, rang- ing in price from $285 to $7,000, will be on display in addition to a number of trucks, basses, tractors, ambulances and other motorized and commercial vehicles. Indications are that more than 35 manufacturers and dealers of automobile accessories and various types of car equipment will be repre- sented, their products including tires, batteries, tops, camping outflts, an4 other general accessories. Numerous features have been ar- ranged, such as an exhibit of some of the work of automobile paint shops, showing the latest painting processes in various stages of production. Sev- eral electrically operated cut-away motors and chassis will be on inspec- tion in different booths. The most re- cent model of one popular car will be on display for the first time in this state. Another feature of the show will be the daily concerts by the University band. Two sections of the basketball floor have been left as a stand upon which the band will play every night and Saturday afternoon. On other afternoons, the band has arranged for different musical organizations'to en- tertain the spectators. Athletic stunts will be provided by the boxing, wrest- ling, fencing and gym teams of the University. A refreshment booth will also be conducted by a ladies society.

Prof. Evans Holbrook of the Law school told a number of huinorous Swedish stories in dialect and read several Swedish poems. B. W. Wheel- er of the history department related how the students of the University of Calirirnia control many student af- fairs entirely and explained the ma- ner in -which the tfriendly spirit be- tween students and faculty members has sprung up. Shirley Snith, secretary of the Uni versity, talked on the relations be- tween professors and the students citing the late President Burton as ar example of a man who could breal away the barriers between the young man attending school and the teacher Reule Kenyon's orchestra played m number of selections, Joseph Ellis '26A and Charles Wolcott played piano duet and Burton Hyde, '26M played the Xylophone. S UISPENDER S ON RAPID DECLINE SAY MERCHANTS Suspenders of the old-fashioned "never-slip" variety of the past are not regaining their lost favor on the campus here, according to managers of State street men's furnishings shops. Van Boven, Cress and Thompson ! were quite positive about it. "Sus- penders have passed into the realm of antiquity," they declared. "We + don't sell 'em." Pratt and Dunn dust- ed off the records and backed . up their arguments. "We simply don't sell them," was the verdict. Guy Woolfolk was more optimistic. "We sell two or three pair of sus- penders a year," he said,1 "and those are of the fancy variety,
