Reprecentative Henry, of Connecticut,
Report! Oleomargarine Bill,

house met today Mr. Henry, of Con
necticut, reported the oleomargarine
bill from the committee on agrlcuh
ture. With the report'were submit
ted the vl^wa of the minority of the
committee and the substitute offered
by them. There being no epeclal or
der and no appropriation bills ready
the committees were called.
Not a single commltteo responded,
and Mr.-Payne, of New York, the ma
jority floor leader, remarked senten-
tiously that later on In the session
members would complain that they
had no opportunity under the rules to
secure consideration for their bills.
•Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, reported the
permanent census bill ami gave notice
teat he would call it up tomorrow.
Mr. Maddox, of Georgia, protested
that tho time was too short for mem
bers to familiarise themselves with
the measure.

Track Will Not Be Sold.
New Orleans, Jan. 29.—Alfred Hen-
nen Morris today dented the atatement
that has been published to the effect
that the Morria track at Weatchester,
N. Y., would be cut up and sold. Mr.
Morris said another lease for two
years has been arranged with the
Westchester Racing association.
When It was found disturbed an Inves
tigation followed.
It was first thought the motive
might have been robbery, as there
were stories around to the effect that
Bcrr.ftiy had been burled with a lot
of money and jewelry. Relatives, how
ever, say „.ils was not the case.
1. upon investigation the body
ned not to have been tampered
with except In the cutting off of the
band. R was in a fairly good state of
preservation, expert that the llesh, of
course, had withered away and crum
bled to dust.
Tno hand, however, was missing,
and it Is explained on tho theory of
negro superstition that If a per
son carries always with him tip; fijst
hunt of the middle finger of s mnn
who has been buried he will never be
arrested, no matter what crime he
may commit.
Circumstantial evidence points very
strongly toward a negro who has been
loafing around Adalrsvllle for some
time. He borrowed a wrap recently
from a party for the purpose of at
tending to some work, as he said.
When the wrap was returned it con
tained red mud. An examination show
ed It was prartleally the same as that
found in the grave.
The negro has also made some re
marks about a charm he possessed
that would prevent him from being ar
rested. Since the discovery of the
opened grave the negro has not been
seen aiounrl the community.

the city hall, the Pendleton and oth
er buildings now stand, was bought
13 years ago for-11.625, Since then
