J she was divorced from him.
Carried Cjasoliitc
The tale ran that Ryberg left
Seattle Tuesday night, went to the
home of A. W. Earle, a neighbor
of the Mummeys, remained until
it was too late to do 'so longer,
Started to return to $eattle, missed
the car and then proceeded to the

From the time he Jeft Seattle
Ryberg, according to the confes
sions given out by Sheriff. McCul
loch, had with him a bottle of
gasoline he had taken from Seattle.
This gasoline he was related to
have thrown, burning, into the
house before seizing a shotgun and
shooting Mrs. Mummey and grab
bing the axe with which he in
flicted six wounds on Mummey's
head and broke one of the' old
man's arms. i
These st atemeutst cleared" f rottr

er, 8 4 years old, who was arrested
at Seattle a few hours before Ry
berg. :
Mummey, lying in a Seattle hos
pital where he was said to have a
fighting chance to live, had said
after much incoherent talk, that
he had recognized the face of
Weaver. Asked by Sheriff McCul
loch if it might have been Ry
berg's face, Mummey had answer
ed in 'the affirmative.
The confessions which the sher
iff attributed to Ryberg followed
questioning based oh bits of evi
dence that Mr. McCyUoch had
gathered.
The sheriff investigating Ry
berg's stbry on his arrest in Se
attle Wednesday night that he had
walked the 15 miles from Seattle
Heights to Seattle where he ar
rived about two hours after the
tragedy of the Mummeys was dis
covered, had found that Austin
Earl, a son of A. W. Earl, had
seen Ryberg four miles south of
Seattle' Heights an hour afterward.
Stained Clothing Found
In Ryberg's room In Seattle the
sheriff found, he reported, a stain
ed shirt and underclothing freshly
washed. Ryberg offered a rusty
pan used in washing garments as
an explanation of the stains. But
the sheriff said that the stains
were in spots and not all over the
clothing. These things, the sher
iff related, caused him to believe
that bones found in the basement
of the. burned home were those of
Mrs. 'Mummey. A statement given
out by the sheriff as signed by Ry
berg, read: , i
"I went to A. W. Earl's house at
Seattle Heights early: Tuesday eve

Another Amendment Wedded
on Revenue Bill By House
Democrat - Republican -Insurgent
Group
TAX.RkTURNS, SUBJECT .
TO OFFICIAL INSPECTION
Both' Changes Draw Fire
From Republicans One
Given Small Majority ,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.- The
house tlemocratic-reimblkan in
surgent coalition wedged another
amendment into the revenue , bill
today, niaking tax returns subject
to inspection by certain congress
ional committees.
This amendment and another
adopted by a one-vote margin
opening corporation tax returns to
inspection of state officials regard
less of whether the state imposes
an income tax as the law now re
quires, developed the major con
troversial issues of the day. Both
amendments drew fire from the
republicans. Representative Mills
New York, charged that "this
piecemeal destruction of the rev
enue bill is not only leading to
complete distortion of the meas
ure but to destruction of the in
come tax law itself." He asserted
that the measure was being inadw
an instrument of politics adding
that "instead of bringing relief to
the tax payers it Is going to harass
them."
Relief Claimed
Representative wlngo, demo
crat, Arkansas, in reply denied
that amendments thus far adopt
ed had done more than bring re
lief to a greater numbr of tax pay
ers, audlcclaied be would rathe
be charged with political motives
than personal iulerest in framiug
a revenue bill."
The republican stand served to
defeat an amendment offered by
Representative Moore, democrat,
Virginia, which would have open
ed personal as well as corporation
returns to state officers. It was4
lost 122 to 74.
Additional charges in the meas
ures 'were" tentatively agreed upon
at a meeting of some members of
both parties of the ways and means
committee. ThcBe would increase
the estate or inheritance tax and
impose a' gifjf tax. What rates
will bo . proposed was not deter
mined although the schedule ad
vanced recently by Representative
Ramseyer, Republican, Iowa, to
make the maximum rate on the
estate tax 40 per cent applying to
the amount by -which the net es
tate of a decedent exceeds $10,
000,000 was favored by a number
of those who conferred.
Representative Longworth, the
republican leader, who yesterday
advanced a new compromise on
the income rate schedules as a
substitute for the democratic rates
already voted into the bill declar
ed tonight he expected eight or
nine of the 17 republicans who
supported the democratic plan to
vote for the substitute if an op
portunity is afforded when the bill
is up for a final vote. The repub

IS NOT UNEXPECTED
No Formal Subpoena for Ap.
pearapce Is Issued Will
Testify Monday
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2J. C.
Bascoiu Sleinp, secretary to Presi
dent CooliclRe, will be called as'a
witness in the oir inquiry, proba
bly next Monday.
This was made known today by
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, who has, taken the lead in
pressing the investigation, after
he had returned unexpectedly to
Washington from a vacation at
Pinehurst, N. C.
Mr. Slemp ' visited Palm' Beach
last December at the time former
Secretary Fall and. Edward B.' Mc
Lean, publisher5 ot the Washing
ton Post, were there and he proba
bly will be asked if he talked
with them about the oil scandal.
Call Not. I'nexpirctcd
Other members of the commit
tee who concurred in the decision
to call the president's secretary,
said he might be questioned also
ax. to 'whether he had talked with
government officials or others
mentioned in the oil cases since
the beginning of the sensational
disclosures which 'followed the
testimony ot Archie Roosevelt on
January 22.
Apparently the news that he
would be called .came as no. sur
prise to Mr, Slemp. U was under-,
stood that he had "Jjcen advised
several days ago that some mem
bers of the committee were of the
opinion that he should be ques
tioned. Upou learning of Senator
Walsh's statement, Mr. Slemp
communicated with friends at the
capitol and wa3 told that no for
mal subpoena for his appearance;
had been issued. None may be.
as in the usual course" high gov
ernment officials simply are in
vited to appear before the com
mittee. The decision to call Mr. Slemp
was only ohe development whfch'
came out of hnrried conferences
which Senator Walsh held with
committeemen and his colleague,
Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mon
tana, immediately upon reaching
Jiis office.
General procedure at the renew
al of the public hearings next
.Monday was discussed by Mr.
Walsh and Chairman Lenroot and
later it was stated that Mileton
Ailcs, president of Riggs Natjonal
bank" of Washington, probably
would be the first witness Mon
day. Senator Walsh declined to dis
close the subject matter updn
which he wllt.be questioned; but
it is known that the committee de
sires to have information from the
records of the bank which might
throw some light upon rumors re
lated to those current in connec
tion with supposed oil stock
tiansactions by public officials. '
After the examination of Mr.
Ailes and Mr. Slemp,. the commit
tee probably will call in its expert
accountants before proceeding
with other witnesses. These ac
countants have completed their
audit of the books of W. B. Hibbs
& Co.', a Washington stock broker
age firm, and also of the books of
the former Washington branch ot
Ungerleider & Co., a Cleveland
stock brokerage firm.
Senator Walsh also said offi
cials of the Federal Amcricau Na
tional bank and the Commercial
National bank, both of Washing-
J toft, would be summoned in con
nection with the testimony given
by Mr. "McLean at Palm Bcaeh
that he had 'given Fall checks ag
gregating 1100,000 drawn on
these banks, and which subse
quently were returned to him un
used. :
"We shall pursue the inquiry
with respect to these chocks."
Senator Walsh said, "because the
general belief is that this transac
tion never did take place."
Mr. McLean Is now in Washing
ton under subpoena but the time
hc wtll be called- before' the com
mittee has not yet .been detcr-
f mined. Senator Walsh said he
had. conferred . last . Sunday 'with

to be Darticlcs from two different
bodies. A portion of the; bones
wero littla more than ash while
others still had burned' flesh ad

physicians. The fire whitened
bones tho' physicians said gave
them' the appearance ot skeleton

ed by time, while the others were
readily' recognized as being j but
recently burned. . . ; .
"The fire started 'at1 6:30 a. ml.
and when I arrived at 9 o'clock
tho ashes were coll enough to
walk upon," stated Coroner Pick
el. Yet, the bones I recovered
hardly filled more than one and
one-half quart jars.
"In my opinion the body was
either dismembered and burned
piece by piece; or tho head,; arms
and legs must have been buried
or hidden in the nearby duck pond
and the torso burned in the kitclf
en stove. I am the more inclined
to the latter theory for the iron
of tho stove was partially melted,
indicating a fire reaching 2600 de
grees, Fahrenheit. The most
amazing part of the discovery of
the bones is that no trace of Mrs.
Mummey's skull or any other
skull has been recovered. The
skull is tho hardest portion'of the
human, body to destroy, it taking
from three to five houra to eradi

A chemical analysis of the bones
will be made tomorrow.
