0SKELETON in
THE WHITE HOUSE
Workman in the Presidents
Home Startled by
Discovery

Washington, D. c., Aug. 7.-While
dIgging down under an old wall be-
meath the foundations of the white
house workmen discovered an ancient
oven and a number of bones which
are believed to have belonged to a
human skeleton. the bones comprise
several ribs and one of the large
bones OF the leg. Their presence in
the excavation almost caused panic
among the negro laborers and il was
with difficulty that the negroes we're
persuaded to continue their work.
Strict orders were given by white
house OFFICIALS to suppress all infor-
nation about the finding Of the
bcrec. It is believed that the oven
in which they we're discovered be-
lorged to some early planter who
lived on or near the site of the white
house in the eighteenth century,. The
bones arc now in the possession of
officials of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, who win undertake to determine
whether they belong to human be
inc or an animal.
The workmen have found several
distinct traces of the fire which the
British army started in the white
house nearly consumed the home OF
the presidents.

This will necessitate the removal ot
