In speaking about the case both Deputy
Sheriff Grimes and Constable Day ex-
pressed the opinion that the man had I'M
doubtedly been murdered, but they were
not at all certain that the crime had been
committed in the locality, no one having
disappeared from that section. Deputy
Grimes recalled the fact that man known
as Taylor whose family lives in Washing
ton had frequently visited Oxon Hill, where
he was well known, and the deputy was Of
the opinion that the clothing on the dead
man tailed with that worn by Taylor when
seen at Oxon Hill several months ago. 1t
was thought that the dead man had been
a sailor by reason of the emblem tattooed
on his right arm, and it was said that Tay-
lor had been in the service. Taylor was
stated to have been known as Lum' Tay-
lor.
Several men who came to view the body
endeavored to ascertain if 1T was that of
a young man known as Turner, who for
number of months recently Travelled around
Oxon Hill. Mr.. George King thought the
dead man was Turner but another person
present said that Turner had been seen in
Washington few days since. The corpse
last evening was placed in charge of Mr..
Pyles
1t was the general expression that the
man had been murdered at some distant
point and then removed to the spot where
the body was found. The nearest house to
the spot is quarter of mile away, and
no path or road leads near the place. 1t
was stated among the law officers on the
scene yesterday that the state will offer
reward for the apprehension of the person
guilty of the murder.

SO many things to eat. and there are rea-

Prompt Response to Brake.

Assistant Secretary of State PIERCE has
received from United States Vice Consul
Touhay at Tunis, under date of April q. an
interesting communication which tells of a
practical demonstration in that far-away
African dependency of the excellence OF
American locomotives. On the % of April
serious collision took place at short
distance from the city of Tunis between an
incoming passenger train from Algiers and
an outgoing freight train, resulting in a
number OF serious injuries to passengers
and freight. The freight train was drawn
by an American locomotive, and the engi-
neer in charge loudly asserted that the ac-
cident was due to the failure Of the iocorno-
tive to answer to her brakes To clear up
the question of responsibility it was decided
by the railroad authorities to reconstitute
the train in precisely the same manner as
when the collision occurred and gain
practical test of the locomotives capabili-
ties at short stoppage. One of the most
reliable engineers on the road was put In
charge Of the engine, and on two trials
running at middle and fast speed-the big
American locomotive was easily brought to
halt by competent handling. The consul
says that the wonderful ease and gertrude
with which the huge locomotive answered
her engineer was considered nothing short
of miraculous by the authorities Of the
road

Conspirators Said to Have Swirdled

five physicians, who are supposed to be
reputable. More arrests are expected this
week, and it is understood some Of the doc
tors will be taken into custody.
It is charged that their operations have
extended all over the country and that the
companies have paid out as high $4,000, 900
since 1900 as a result of the ingenious
scheme-one- third of the total amount paid
by the companies to liquidate claims

LEASING PUBLIC LANDS.
Delegation of Cattlemen Heard by
House Committee.

A delegation of cattlemen from Nebraska
was heard this morning by the House COM
mittee on public lands in favor Of the bill
for the leasing for grazing purposes of va
cant public lands at an annual rental of 2
cents an acre, the proceeds to be expended
by the government for irrigation purposes.
The delegation consisted of Bartlett Rich
ards. c. F. Coffee. William Ferdon, Daniel
Hill. A. NJ Modisett and e. C. Harris.
Some Of the reasons presented were:
First, that 1t takes about thirty acres of
grazing land for each head of cattle; IL the
cattleman is not allowed to lease land in
addition to his homestead section it will
curtail his output Of cattle to such an ex-
tent as to put him out of business that the
land In the great ''sand hilr' sections of
the country was fitted for nothing but graz
ing; that blowing the land destroyed the
sod, which cannot be replaced for at least
twenty years.
II was stated that Canada was making
bids for American cattle raisers and farm
ers and that she made the boast that this

year she would get 10000. Of this class OF
American citizens to settle on her grazing
lands
The delegation urged that the cattle
raising business was one which wo7llu natu-
rally be curtailed by the increase of popula-
ton in the west and that beef was bound
to become one Of the luxuries of life In the
near future
Delegate Rodey of New Mexico opposed
the bill before the committee, stating that
the citizens Of New Mexico were satisfied
with the present homestead laws.
No action was taken by the committee.
