Partisanship became bitter during de-
bate, republicans, among them Chairman
Fordney of the ways and means commit
tee. charging that the democratic admin
istration during the war had INDUCED in
ar orgy of extravaganza while democratic
leaders denied that there had been any
unnecessary extravaganza.
When Mr.. Fordney declared that the
democrats had sold nearly two billion dol
lars worth of army supplies in France at
tremendous sacrifice, Representative
Garrett, of Tennessee, acting democratic
leader. leaped to his feet and shouted:
Dawes sold those supplies
Eyes, but Woodrow Wilson directed him
to do so,'' replied Mr.. Fordney.
Representative Graham. republican, of
Illinois, author of the bill. told the house
that ship loads of supplies. bought by
foreigners for 'song'' were being shipped
to the United States in such quantities
as to jeopardize American industry by
their low prices. Shipments, he said. in

anna City and st. Andrews. a distance
of about two miles.
The railroad company had asked
authority to discontinue operation OF
this line permanently on the ground
that 1t did not pay expenses. but the
commission granted the authority only
for 80 days as an experiment.
Residents of St Andrews Bay vigor-
ously opposed the step on the ground
that it leaves their city without any
railroad for freight or passengers.
The railroad company applied for
the authority December % 1920, and
the case was heard for the Interstate
Commerce Commission by the Rail-
road Commission of Florida. The
Florida Commission recommended that
the application be denied on the ground
that the abandonment of he branch
would work injustice to residents of ST.
Andrews and make it very difficult for
the fishermen operating there to ham
die their shipments. 1t pointed out
that this industry has grown in re-
cent years and that the abandonment
of the railroad might destroy the fish
ing industry / also stated its opinion
that the railroad company estimate of
the cost of rehabilitating the branch

White early this morning walked
into the sheriff's office and calmly
declared that his automobile had gone

said was driving it, had been drowned
County officials at first doubted the
mans story, as his clothing was neat

his having been submerged. He in
sisted, however that he had gone to
his home first and changed clothes
after walking about Z miles, then get
ting a lift to town on a farm wagon.
Deputies were dispatched to the canal
and located the machine. When it
was pulled out, articles of feminine
apparel were found including a corset
and underwear. Divers worked for
hours, finally coming upon the body
about o'clock.
White told the authorities he had

night while she was waiting for a
jitney and asked her to go for a ride

White declared that after they had
driven about ten miles out in Tamiami

the Everglades, Miss Gilbert asked
him If she might drive the car, to
which he assented. He was unable to
give clear explanation of how the
car plunged into the water.
White is employed here as a clerk.
He has wife and two children who

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-Buried
under two feet of sand, the body Of
Father Patrick E. Heslin, of Holy Angels
Catholic church, Colma, who has been
missing since the night of August 2, was
dug from beach on the Pacific ocean.
20 miles south of San Francisco late last
night and brought to this city today.
Two bullet wounds were in the body.
Led by William A Hightower, an un-
employed baker who had been in San
Francisco only a few weeks and who is
held pending investigation, local officials
We're taken to the spot and the body ex-
hunfed as a smoky lantern made feeble
efforts to dispel the gloomy darkness.
Hightower told the authorities that he
learned of the buried body several days
ago from a woman who said she was
Daily Mason. She is being sought.
The lonely grave was but short dis
tance from Saluda Beach, popular bath
ing resort. 1t had been dug at the bot
tom of a sand cliff.
From its cramped position the body was
lifted an examination showed that bull
let had been fired through, the heart,
while second bullet had plowed through
the head and torn off part of the skull.
The search of the room occupied by
Hightower who failed to explain to the
police why he had delayed giving his in
formation to them led to the discovery OF
pieces of bloody burlap, a rifle and news
paper clippings telling of rewards offered
for Father Heslin.
Hightower, however, held to his original
story in which he declared he made a
personal investigation several days ago
and found bits of black rag and AS cali
bre revolver and bloodstained piece of
gunny sack in the sand near the spot
where the body was later dug I'D.
Three days later, he said, he made an
other visit to the grave Unable to keep
his gruesome secret longer, he decided
to inform officials of the church and paid
visit to the home of Archbishop Hanna
OF San Francisco. But the church man
was in conference and Hightower then
told his story to a newspaper man. who
Informed the police. Recovery of the
hedy followed.
In the pockets of the dead priests
clothing were found a watch which had
stopped at 1852, red morocco case con-
tanning the bread and wine of the Blessed
Sacrament and a roll of money.
Father Heslin was last seen alive about
0 p. M, August 2, when stranger drove
to the parish house in Co1ma, persuaded
the priest to enter his automobile under
the pretense that he wanted the last sac
rament administered to dying relative
and drove away. The next night Arch
bishop Hanna received an anonymous LETT

return. Later the demand was increased
