We can get TO the rooms which branch off
from the main stope.
Head in Basket.
One of the most gruesome sights wit
messed today was mans head being

the flesh was almost entirely burned
away from the skull. Lees, arms and
mansled trunks were brought out in sue

Statement of the Committee.

Senator Carmack favored the Dolli-
yer motion but said he would not vote
for the Esch- Townsend bill in its pres
ent form. Senator Foster and Senator
McLaurin said they had not fully
made up their minds in regard to the
bin before them. 1t was the over
whelming sentiment that the bill could
not be reported without additional
hearings. but il was not determined
whether there should be a limit of time
placed on the investigation
Senator Dolliver announced that he
would renew his motion when the COM
mittee meets again, and said further
that if a resolution is adopted to sit
after the adjournment of congress he
would move TO amend to require an
early report.
