practiced among the uncivilized tribes
Of Bengal.
In Angul some Khonds sacrificed a girl
as preparatory offering against cholera,
and in Palamau aboy was enticed into
the jungle and killed as a sacrifice. There
can be little doubt that any relaxation

THIS IS WHAT REPRESENTATIVE
HAYES FEARS HAS BEEN DONE
IN THE HOUSE.
TAFT CONSULTED IN MATTER.
Minority Taking Advantage of Oppor-
tunity of Getting Members on
Investigating Committee.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS IS CALLED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-A
new and decidedly interesting turn was
given to the ''insurgent' movement i'll
the House today when Representatives
Hayes of California, Murdoch Of Kan
sas and Gardner of Massachusetts has
tened to the white house to tell the
President in effect that they were afraid
they had been used by the Demo
Gratis in the matter of the Ballinger-P Pin
chot investigating committee and that
the Democrats were taking advantage OF
the opportunity to put two Of their most
partisan members on the committee for
the purpose of making political capital
out of the affair.
Hayes First to Call.
Mr.. Hayes was the first Of the insur-
gents to reach the white house He told
the President that while he was an In
surgent he did not intend to be placed
in the position of helping the Democrats
to throw mud at Il Republican admins
tration." This, he was afraid, was go
ing to happen unless some means OIL
changing the Democratic selections TOR
the investigating committee could be de-
yised
Messrs James of Kentucky and Rain
ey of Illinois we. e selected by the Demo
cratic caucus for appointment under the
action of the nsurgent-Democratlc COM
bination, which took the power OF ap-
pointing the committee away from the
speaker.
Hardly had Mr.. Hayes left the execu,
tive offices when Messrs. Murdock ana
Gardner walked in arm in arm. Ihey
reiterated much that Mr.. Hayes had
said, but admitted that they did not see
exactly how they were going to get out
of the difficulty.
4 statement was prepared by Mr..
Gardner and Mr.. Murdoch, which SAID:
I'VE called on the President and spoke
to him about the personnel of the inves-
tigating committee, but nothing definite
was arrived at. The President felt that
it was not for him to indicate his choice
as to the future action of the House IN
this respect, but urged that it was of the
utmost Importance that the members of
the committee should be men recognized
by both sides of the House as fair and
impartial i'll the investigation.
Call for Caucus
4 call was issued today for Repub-
lican caucus of the House Wednesday
night to select the House members of
the investigating committee. The call
stated that the House members" would
be named, which many people believe
foreshadows an effort to defeat Repre-
sentatives James and Rainey, who We're

WITCHCRAFT IN INDIA.
Belief So Strong That Human Sacrifice
Is Still Practiced.

The belief in witchcraft is still fast
rooted in parts of India, and the unfor-
tunate persons suspected of the black
art are not uncommonly done to death.
In Bengal last year several cases of
the kind came before the courts. In
the Sonthal Parganahs a woman was
murdered by her mother and brother,
who believed her to be a witch.
In Palamau man was killed as the
villagers held that he was a wizard In
another case two women were murdered
