BILL LOADED DOWN WITH LAST MINUTE AMENDMENTS MAX ING LIKELY MEASURE WILL GO TO CONFERENCE III ATTI- TUDE OF COOLIDGE UNCER- TAIN Il FINAL HOUSE VOTE TUESDAY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. P)-The Senate passed the McNary-Haughen farm bill which it killed less than eight months ago. The vote was AZ to 39.

DETROIT, Feb. 12. R-The police expressed dorbt whether four skulls and two br is of hair, one of which was blood otted, found in an aban- doned trunk in Royal Oak house, were those of slain women or had been stolen from graves. They began a search for James Coyner, a negro grave robber, who was the previous oc- cupant of the house. The skulls were discovered by children of a family which had moved into the house.
 The grave robbing theory does not explain the blood clotted strand of hair. The skulls were wrapped in the society page of newspaper, on which the names of women had been marked over with penciled dates, numbers and names. A notebook contained the names of society women. The woman who owned the house said man by the name of Ed Crayton, an alias of Coyner, was recently convicted of grave robbing and sentenced to the penitentiary, but she did not remember where.
