Mr. Sayers (dem., Tex.), the repre-
sentative of the minority on the APP
preparation committee, also presented
a statement. He said:
IF the present congress had rigidly
refused authority for additional con-
tracts, and had appropriated only to
meet the immediate fiscal years re-
quirements. the next congress and adj
ministration would have been in a po-
sition to largely reduce appropriations
and expenditures, and the administra-
ton of the government could easily
have been turned to an economical
method of governmental expenditure.
This, however, has not been done, and
the majority in congress must be held
responsible for this grave dereliction
in public duty"

Powell, aged so, was placed under ar
rest yesterday afternoon charged with
the murder of her daughter Anna
Powell, aged 80. They lived together
in a house on the West side, and yes

mitted suicide. She was found lying
on the kitchen floor with a bullet
in her brain. She lived but
few minutes. By her side was re-
volver with one chamber empty.
There was bullet wound through the
left arm indicating that she had
thrown up her arm to ward off the
shot, and the bullet passed through
the heshy part of the arm and into
the head. This disproves the suicide
story, and the police think the women
were quarreling and it eliminated in
murder.

Arrangements have been completed
by the executive committee of the Mis-
souri, state board of agriculture for a
series of experiments with Texas cat
tie. These tests will include the fol-
lowing: Experiments to ascertain
the value of dipping infected
southern cattle in some fluid that
will kill the Texas tick, with a
view of rendering them incapable of
spreading the infection. Native cattle
will be inoculated with serum in or
der to render them immune to south
ern fever, thereby enabling Missouri
breeders to supply Texas with inn
proved males. Experiments will also
be conducted to ascertain what con-
nection. if any, the Texas tick has in
communicating splenetic fever. A box
of ticks has been received from Aus

Important discovery in Mound Near
Springfield, u.
SPRINGFIELD, O., June 12.-Some
boys, while playing on Barrett's
Mound, in the village of Spring VAL
ley, southwest of here, discovered a
number of human bones that had
been unearthed by the upheaval of a
tree during a wind-storm. Excava-
tions were made, and four bodies were
found resting in the ground where the
tree had stood. ALI had been buried
with the heads to the east, indicating
reverence for the sun, and one of them
was found in reclining position. One
had been covered by mussel shells, but
on being exposed to the air the shells
crumbled to dust.
The skeletons indicate a race of peo.

from relics and other indications were
apparently warriors, and belonged to
some prehistoric race. The skeletons
were viewed by an immense throng of
people. When an attempt was made
to move them they fell to pieces. Fur
