BLOODY GARMENT
POINTS TO Staying
Virginia Officers Fear Foul
Play After Finding Wom-
ans Coat.
By the Associated Pres.

CLINTWOOD. Va. February A.
Authorities sought a solution today to
the mystery of blood-stained wom-
ans coat found on the highway near
Pound Gap, on the Virginia Kentucky
line.
Police Sergt. G. D. Buchanan of
Clintwood started an investigation

was a strong possibility Of foul play,
particularly because of the fact that
all marks of Identification had been
ripped from the coat. A blood
stained handkerchief was found near
by. Apparently these articles had
been tossed into the ditch line from a
passing car.
Wise County officers are assisting
Sergt, Buchanan in searching the
woodlands on both the Kentucky and
Virginia side Of Cumberland Noun
tain. II no further information Is
uncovered soon, 1t is reported that
Federal authorities will be requested
to aid in solving the mystery.
The coat, made of black velvet with
white fur collar and cuffs. is believed
to have been worn by some Kentucky
visitor to the Presidents ball at Nor
ton last Friday evening. It was
found Saturday. The coat was ripped
under each arm, suggesting a strenu-
Gus struggle. 1t Is believed to have
been worn by a woman of medium
height.

Despite the on-commital remarks
of conferees after their two meetings

close to the Governor said he was

Brewster rushed into the committee
room and asked to record his vote in

final result 10 to 8, including the
absentee ballots
At the outset of the meeting c. r.
Evans, former member of Congress
from Nevada, asked the committee to
give him franchise to operate a
model race track in the District-a
track which he said would not be
similar to the one that would be oper-
ated under the provisions of the Nor
ton bill.
Urges d. C. Set Example.
Good people enjoy a day at the
race track" he said. THE District of
Columbia should provide the finest
example of horse race course in the
world
The bill approved by the committee
differs radically from the one which
died in the Judiciary Subcommittee
of the House District Committee in
the last Congress That bill would
have permitted 80 days of racing
whereas the revised measure limits the
racing season to 54 days
1t also provides several sources Of
revenue from the operation of the
track. including a S6,000-a-day license
fee which the operator would be re-
quired to pay. In addition, it calls
for 7la per cent tax on the total
amount wagered at the tracks, less the
so-called "breakage." This is the odd
cents over any multiple of cents
which would go to the operator of
the track. The bill also provides
a Is per cent tax on the net revenue
Of the track.
The changes we're made in the bill
to remove the opposition of
Palmisano. who contended that the
plan for legalizing horse
racing in the District would give the
tracks here an unfair advantage with
those in Maryland.
Today's special meeting was called
as result of the sudden and unex-
pected opposition which developed in
the committee and prevented the
from being approved at an
executive session yesterday that fol-
lowed the regular meeting.
Others opposing hasty action on the
bill are doing so because they feel &C.
curate information has not yet been
furnished as to the amount of revenue
a race track would yield to the Dis
trict. Chairman Norton has roughly
estimated legalized racing would add
a minimum of s5o0.000 year to Dis
trict Golfers.
