HUMAN SKELETONS
ARE FOUND In CAVE
Bristol Professor Makes Grue-
some Discovery in Noun
tains of Tennessee.
tsy The Associated press,

BRISTOL, Va.,-Tenn., Jan. 25.-Dis-
covery of approximately 500 human
skeletons In a cave in the mountains
about 15 miles from Bristol was made
today by Professor Henry Woodman
of this city, who made an inspection
of the cave at the invitation of noun
taineers.
An opening which runs 40 feet
straight down in the earth was found
several days ago by people living in
that section Upon making investiga-
ton they found several human skulls.
The skulls were brought to Bristol
and newspapermen and college pro-
fessors were asked to enter and in
spect the interior of the opening.
Upon descending the tunnel by
means of rope Professor Woodman
found a heap of human bones 80 feet
high and about 500 feet wide. Indian
hatchets and beads were also found.
The cave has several tunnels reaching
off on the sides and is in the shape of
q huge crevice in the earth. The bones
were partly covered over by earth
which is thought to have fallen in
from the opening above. The peak

that the Indians threw their dead into
the cavity.
The heap Is cone shaped and con-
tanned an assortment OF every bone In
the human body. Professor Woodman
declares experiments show that some
Of the bones have been In the cave for
about 1000 years. A number Of ex-
perts and archaeologists are planning
to spend a night in the cave to con-
tinue the investigation. The cave is
located in a spot in the mountains al

DIR. w. Traves Glib, physician for

1t was brought out in cross -exami :

BRIEF HEARINGS ON
SOLDIER BONUS BILL
LIKELY NEXT WEEK
Opportunity viii BE Afforded
Representatives of 0rganiza-
tiOns to Express Views.
ANNOUNCEMENT is MADE
BY CHAIRMAN FORDNEY
Decision of House Ways and
Means Committee Came on
Eve of Republican Caucus
tsx The Associated Pressl


WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. - Brief
hearings win be held. probably next
week. by the house ways and means
! committee preliminary to the drafting
Of a soldier bonus bill, Chairman
Fordney announced today. Oppor-
tunity will be afforded representatives
! of the treasury and OF veterans organ
| izations, such as the American Legion,
to present their views. but It is un-
likely, he said. that any ehttempt viii
be made to obtain the opinions Of
others.
/ Mr.. Fordney said bin would be re-
ported to the house within two or
three weeks" and would carry a pro-
vision for the raising OF necessary
revenue.
Announcement OF the committees
plans came after a conference today
between republican leaders of the
senate and house at which It was
agreed a bonus bin should be framed
in the house with the determination
of way to provide revenue left en-
tirely to the ways and means COM
mittee.
Decision of the committee to take
action also came on the eve OF a eau
Gus OF house republicans tomorrow
night at which members who were ia
the military service during the war arc
expected to demand prompt enactment
of bonus bill
Insistence, of Secretary Mellon, ex-
pressed in a letter TO Mr.. Fordney,
that the country's finances were so
critical that bonus was inadvlsable,
especially If linked up with the foreign
debt, had a tendency today Of increas-
ing talk among house members in
favor Of some sort OF sales tax.
Chairman Fordney refused to COM
ment on Mr.. Melons letter, declaring
he had not read It. lie reiterated the
belief. however, that some revenue for
a bonus might be obtainable from the
foreign debt repayment without dis
turbing finances OF the country.
Committee members, however, gen
orally were agreed that a sales tax
would have to furnish tho bulk II not
all of the revenue for a bonus.
Declaring that the committee had in
no way agreed as to what kind Of
tax should be levied, Mr.. Fordney said
he was emphatically opposed to tax
on gasoline. A bill proposing a pro-
ducers' tax Of 3 cents a gallon is pend
ing before the committee. II would
produce $500. 100000 annually, accord
ing to Mr.. Fordney. who contended,
however. that It would be a grave
mistake to levy such a tax.
The committee chairman is said to
have decided not to hold lengthy hear
ings on the bonus question because OF
the belief that the committee in pre-
pairing the new internal revenue bill
heard sufficient testimony from yari-
Gus individuals as to the effect Of diff
ferent kinds of taxes.

Carnival Association Desire One
or More Boats to Take Part
in Mardi Gras Fes-
tiyitieS.

That tho carnival for 1922 is assured
and that 1t win be a great success. is
the prediction Of it's promoters who
at an enthusiastic meeting yesterday
afternoon received reports on finances
and made plans for the two days OF
carnival which will be featured by
two of the best spectacles ever pro-
Iuced in the city.
The organization which has pledged
itself to make the 1922 carnival one
of the best ever held is leaving no
avenue open to failure. and every man
has been constituted a committee Of
one to see that the celebration is a
success.
James Largue, secretary OF the as
sociation. was authorized at the meet
ing yesterday afternoon to Immediate
ly get in touch with Congressman J.
II. Smithwick by wire, to urge that he
use his influence to have a battleship.
or perhaps several in the harbor dur
ing the two days of Mardi Gras.
1t is understood that both Mobile
and New Orleans are planning to put
over a carnival celebration this year
on big scale. and while Pensacola is
late in making plans for the celebra-
ton it is believed that through tnten-
sive effort, this city can cary out one
of the best carnival programs ever
presented here.
Already the contract has been signed
for the construction and painting OF
the floats, and A. a. Wrighton, con-
tractor, started work yesterday, and
has guaranteed to have the seven
rloals ready for delivery on Monday,
Il FEBRUARY q. While the plans for the
parade will be kept secret, and an
nounced only at the last minute, the
building committee has formulated a
plan of parade which will be not only
novel and beautiful. but which will
add new laurels TO those already gar
.lered in the past.
Already the funds subscribed
amount to 81, 2,124, and there are a num-
Der of subscriptions yet to be secured,
besides Lunds to be derived from en-
terLalnments which VIII be gwen by
the association. among which Will be

that has been given, but all who have
not yet paid the amounts subscribed
