The police were industriously investigating
yesterday story told to Police Captain Grant
on Monday night by William Pelsky of 314 East
seventy-arst street. or by somebody to whom
Pelsky had told it, concerning the missing head
of the murdered Gieldsensuppc. Tie story was
to this effect: Two boys. one OF whom was from
New York, found a package done up in paper while
playing about a thicket near Branchport, N. j.
The package was round and hard. 1t WAS tied
about with string. They cut the string. Inside
was something wrapped In bagging or in oil
cloth-the accounts difer-nnd inside that a
lump of plaster, through which hair protruded.
At this poiht the boys became frightened and
rolled the thing into a pond near by. Then they
ran away.
The New York boy is said to have told his
mother. who was staying with MRS. Mcintyre"
In Branchport, and tho affair was talked OF In
the house n couple of days. But It did not occur
to anybody to connect 1t with the Gieldsen-
suppe case until the mother came to this
city. Sho works in a cigar factory at
Second avenue and Fifty-fourth street,

out invitations to member Of the party to
sign an enrolment pledge, the chief idea of
which seemed to he opposition to the use of
public office for the upbuilding OF political or

culated Immediately AFTER air. Brookfeld and
his friends had received intimation from Presi.

or their man. and that he desired TO have a

Mr.. Brookfcld and his friends thought that
the responses that would come TO them appeal

number snd would be a most effective protest
against The recognition of the regular Republi-
can qrgani%ation. The fact Is that less than

COMING EVENTS IN CONGRESS.
THE SENATE'S ACTION DIFFICULTY
TO FORECAST.

The General Deficiency Bill Likely
to BE Passed and the Senate to BE
Ready to Take Up the Tariff hin
as Soon as Reported Back From
COnfcrence-What Else VIII De
Done by the Upper House Profile
NAUTICAL.
Washington, July 11-Beyond the fact
that the general deficiency appropriation
bill will probably be passed and that the
Senate will stand ready to take up the
tariff bill at any time that a report may
be brought in by the conference commit
tee, little can be predicted of the course
of events in the Senate during the present
week.
The disposition is to do little in the way
of general legislation, and there is prop
osition under consideration by the leaders
of the two sides Of the chamber to adopt
the plan now in vogue in the House for
sitting every third day after the deficiency
bill shall have been disposed of. This sug-
gestion has been made in view of the pos
sibility of pressure to take up the matter
of the appointment of currency commit
tee. The general impression about the
Senate is that the House will pass such
bill on the subject as the President NAV
recommend, but there Is no probability
that the Senate will take the matter up
seriously. The desire is to make this in
tention clear by infrequent meetings.
There are, however, some matters on
the executive calendar demanding atten-
ton, and there may be an effort to clear
the calendar during the week If this be
the case, there would be more or less dis
cussion in executive session over the Nc
Cord, Warner and Goodnow nominations.
The friends of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty also hope to be able to report a
ratification at their next Wednesday meet
ing, but 1t is by no means certain that the

deficiency bill, particular attention being
