A Turkish rug captured in the Turkish war of 1683 and owned by Count Branitzki, was sold to a Paris firm for approximately $100,000, it was learned today. But the government vetoed the exportation of the rug and it will remain in Poland. was wrested from his mother by a Turk. For years the boy lived in various Turkish homes, believing he was a Turk. But finally an Armenian, recognizing his race, bought him for the' equivalent of thirty cents and the next thing Loris knew was that he was being cared for by the Near East Relief.

Meantime Vernian had come to this country. She appealed to the Near East Relief, to find her son, and this finally was accomplished by means of the scars on Loris' thighs and shoulders. State Health Department officials A definite determination of this diagnosis, however, cannot be con firmed until laboratory tests have been completed, Dr. J. Moore Campbell, chief of the bureau of communicable diseases, announced today.

The camp, patronized almost exclusively by girls from New York City, was vacated after twenty-one of the 250 girls became ill. This condition greatly hampered the work of the investigation, Doctor Campbell said. When he reached the camp it was deserted except for the proprietor, Doctor Grossman, and Mrs. Grossman. A 'bedside examination of two patients in the Carbondale Hospital developed that the infection resembled typhoid fever germs.

"The indications, therefore, point to the possibility of a typhoid carrier having been in the camp, possibly one of the employes," Doctor Campbell said. Other camps which obtained their milk and water supplies from the same sources as Camp Tabor showed no signs of illness. Because' of its isolated position there was a constant turn over in the help at Camp Tabor. A checkup is being made by health authorities of the children who were abruptly hurried home after the discovery of illness in the camp. "I am positive," Doctor Campbell declared, "that the infantile paralysis diagnosis was incorrect and that the fear generated by such false report occasioned hysteria which led to a wholesale departure." The reports on the situation from a disease standpoint have been exaggerated.

President Hoover's formal acceptance of the FJihu Root formula for American adherence to the world court is ready for publication, the United Press learned today. Mr.

Hoover has decided to request Senate aproval of the Root plan as a substitute for the Senate reservations which for three years have prevented the United States from becoming a court member. Next month the League of Nations assembly in annual meeting at Geneva will pass upon the revised court statutes which Root and a commission of jurists drafted last spring. The revised statutes, in the opinion of Mr. Hoover, Secretary of State Stim-son and other advocates of Ameri can adherence, remove 'the condi tions against which the Senate sought protection. Only seven of the forty-seven court members assented to the American reservations.

Objections of other members concerned the two of the Senate's reservations. One provided that the United States might at any time withdraw its adherence to the protocal, and that the statute for the court could not be amended without the consent of the United States. The other reservation provided the court could not without the consent of the United States entertain any request for an advisory opinion touching any dispute or question in which the United States had or claimed an interest. Administration leaders are aware of opposition in the Senate to ex changing the Senate reservations for Root's formula.

RAF ZEPPELIN REACHES TOKIO From One for Tokio and Yokohama, to pay. courtesy visits before coming to earth at When the Graf returned to the airport, the crowd had grown to mammoth proportions, and the twenty passengers and crew of forty-one in the dirigible again had the thrill of above, a cheering, gesticulating sea of humanity. But this time, the was even more romantic than any of the Zeppelin's previous arrivals, for on the field beneath was spread out a cosmopolitan crowd of Germans, Americans, English and Japanese, many of the latter in colorful costumes, thrilled as never before by the first flight of the monarch of the air which has devastated the distances which separate the ends of the earth. As the Zeppelin's motors, for the first time in 102 hours, ceased their dull roar and whined down to a stop, the "spider" coils of landing ropes were thrown down from hatchways and seized by the eager hands of the ground crew. Wild Cheers Slowly the great ship was nosed down to earth, and the "banzais" of the Japanese, the "hochs" tjf the Germans and the hearty "hurrahs" of the Americans and English rose to an even higher pitch as the faces of the passengers were espied against the glass of the ship's gondola.

The landing was accomplished without great 'difficulty, and the Graf housed in the Kasumigaura hangar, especially equiped to shelter the great air liner during her brief stay in Tokio. By its early arrival here, the Zeppelin completed the second stage of her journey in almost twenty hours less than her commander, Dr. Hugo Eckener, had hoped for. Before leaving Fried-richshafen, Doctor Eckener said he hoped to make the trip in 120 hours, but was fully prepared to to snorid 1 80 hours in the sir if headwinds hampered the dirigible's progress. Tokio was en fete for the occasion of the Graf's arrival, and thousands upon thousands of Japanese from all over the country had flocked to the city for a holiday and to watch the majestic craft soar overhead.

The Graf arrived over the capital, fifteen minutes after leaving Kasumigaura, and after circling the city while virtually the entire population tumbled into the streets to watch the sight, flew southward to visit Yokohama.

m. The endurancer's arrival brought relief to airport crews who had scanned the skies throughout the night for the long overdue craft. An all-night vigil had been kept for the endurancer with the tiny refueling craft poised on the airport runway ready to hop off at a moment's notice to give food and gas supplies. Definite word from the Sun God had been lacking at the airport here since the endurancers left New York yesterday after completing the toilsome first half of her round-trip flight. The Spokane friers, returning on the second half of their non-stop round-trip refueling flight over the United States, appeared over the Bellefonte flying field shortly after 10 clock last night and dropped a note asking about weather conditions in Cleveland.
