count of the prominence OF those interested
created unusual excitement. Those interested
are Mrs. Burl1ett, wife of j. P. Purkett, Of
Kingman, Kans, and sister to d. p. Green,
and Mrs. H. G. SturS, of Wichita. While an
employee was going through an incoming Santa
fe train this evening, he found in one of
the seats the dead body of an infant
about three months old. He at once
notified the officers and they discovered from
the passengers on the train that the seat had
been occupied by q man and woman and the
woman held in her arms q bundle. Drivers of
carriages conveying passengers from the depot
were hailed and in one OF them was the man
who had occupied the seat. The young man
gave his name as Otto Burket, a son of p. M.
Burkett, of Kingman Kansas. He is about
eighteen years old. He said the lady with whom
he was is his mother Young Burkett further
said passenger on the train handed his mother
a baby to take care of for brief time and that
it had been placed on the seat of the car While
in that condition its head was crushed by some
one sitting on it. They left it in the coach be-
cause they did not wish the expense of burial.
d. S. Green, q well-known man of Wichita,
called at the coroner's Office and said that Mrs.
Burkett was his sister and was at his house.
The coroner agreed to let her remain there
until morning Green said his sister had taken
the child from hospital in California, and in
tended to take it home with her and rear it as
her own. 1t died, SO said Green, few miles
north of Wichita. He said no accident had
happened the child. A rigid investigation will
follow.

WASHINGTON, March 6-The ways and
means committee to-day heard representa-
tives of the Brewers association in oppo-
sition to an increase of duty on hops. Vice
President Scharman,o the Brewers asso-
citation, argued in confirmation Of Lefen's
statement. Chairman Mckinley read from
the memorial jointly drawn up by the
brewers and hop growers in which the
farmers agreed TO assist the hop growers in
securing and N aintaining adequate protec-
ton for their product.
The witness admitted that this was the
result of an agreement by which the hop
growers were to aid the brewers in pre-
venting the enactment of prohibitory LIQUOR
laws. He maintained as result of prohi-
bition that more liquor was drunk than in
states where licenses were granted
Dingley, OF Maine, was much interested
in this and endeavored to controvert it,
He said the distillers sided with the brew
ers in their opposition to prohibition
Which would not be consistent course if
more whisky was consumed under pro-
hibitory law than in its absence Schar
man persisted, however, in the statement
that prohibition decreased the consump-
ton of beer ana increased that of whisky
