A few concluding paragraphs Of
the sundry schedule were approved
when the house convened, prelimin-

The income tax will probably be
reached tomorrow. Renewal OF the

The Republicans also criticised the
inclusion of agricultural implements
in the undutiable list. They declared
this concession was a sop" thrown
the farmers to relieve the tariff slash
es on wheat and -four. In the free list
the house waded through maze OF
"unpronouncables," as Representative
Payne, Of New York, designated them,
such as apatits, roucou, dragons blood

Amendments were prepared by the
minority proposing to place cattle on
the free list when that paragraph was

Highland Park authorities believe
that the skeletons of a man and wo-

Woodward-ave., Saturday, are those
of young couple who came from

The incident was recalled by
Robert Holloway. formerly of Ypsi-

He declared that the disappearance of
the couple was reported to the police
at the time, but as 1t was generally
believed that they had eloped, investi.
cation was dropped.
A large knife, found in the grave
with the bodies, indicates foul play,
but whether a suicide pact existed be-

bones were uncovered. Saturday, or
whether they were slain by q third
person, the police are unable TO guess.

get the public officials to do their plain

DR.. Kiefer and Mrs. Kiefer there
pom arose and left the church. Mr..
Hovey continued:
IL stand unabashed when truth de-
mands utterance. If It we're the
mayor Of Detroit who were neglecting
his duty, would stand up and tell
him so. The Board OF Health is not
enforcing the laws. never saw a
sanitary oficer in an alley. except
when called him there on special
duty
Mr.. Hovey then attacked the d. p.
w. for inefiiciency, and the police de-
rartment for refusing to pay attention
to complaints. and failure to enforce
ordinances In favor OF cleanliness.
Pastor Willis A. Moore stood In his
pulpit, waiting to dismiss the aud.
