So the Mourners Thought, but It Was
Only VentriIoquist's Trick.

Queenstown, Md, Feb. 20. - Sam
Johnson, a Centerville negro ventriloz
quist, went to Denton and was invited
to funeral. The parson was reading
a psalm and the pallbearers had started
to lower the body into it's final resting
place when suddenly without warning
came in stentorian tones from the
casket: LET me down easy, boys"
In few moments the cemetery was
minus mourners and preacher. Only
Johnson remained behind. Finally
some of the mourners decided to give
the corpse air to keep it from
smothering. They burst In the coffin
lids. After several hours delay the
corpse was finally buried.
The trick was discovered later. Sam
was arrested and after being given a
hearing before a magistrate was con-
signed to the care of the sheriff at
Denton.

NO HOPE FOR ACTION
President Roosevelt Has Little Ex-
pectation That Rate Legislation Will
be Enacted at the Present Session
Of Congress.

Washington, Feb. 2o-President
Roosevelt, who, for weeks, has been
hopeful that some definite action might
be taken at the present session of
congress on the railroad rate question,
practically has relinquished the idea
of securing legislation on the subject
this winter. 1t is reasonably certain
that he will call an extraordinary ses-
sion next autumn, to deal with the
question.
Representatives Esch and Townsend,
joint authors of the rate bill which
passed the house, had a talk with the
president today They outlined the rate
situation in congress as they found it.
They agreed with him the prospect for
enactment of rate legislation at this
session is remote They indicated that
if no action were taken at this session,
the subject would be considered thor
oughly during the coming summer with
the idea of presenting measure at the
next session which very likely would
contain some additional features.
