MAY BE KIDD'S TREASURE
Chest FILLED with Ancient Coins In
eRrthed Near PeekskilI Leads to
Search for Pirates Wealth.

NEW YORK, April IA gang Of Italians
at work on New York Central improvements
near Anthony's Nose, three miles north Of
Peeksklll, has, it is reported. unearthed an
ancient chest filled with silver coins Of
small denomination.
The discovery led to a fresh outbreak
OF the search for Captain Kidd's alleged
buried treasure, the search for which has
at various times caused the upheaval OF
large tracts on Long Island and along the
Hudson.
The fact that the coins just found bear a
date subsequent to the execution Of the
notorious pirate at London in 170l ap-
parently has had little effect in checking
the lust for gold, and the demand for picks
and shovels is said to be Unsuitable in the
vicinity Of Peekskill.

"HE FRIENDS of Terence V.
Powderly in this community
Il and they are many and
staunch--have read, not per-
haps with surprise, but certainly with
regret. the reports in the newspapers
crediting President Roosevelt with the
intention of displacing Mr. Powderly
from the position of Commissioner
General of Immigration. There has not
been surprise because it has been
known to them that Mr.. Powderly has
had powerful enemies. both among the
great transatlantic steamship COM
panies. which are opposed to a resolute
enforcement Of the immigration laws.
and among some labor organizations,
which bear resentment because Mr..
Powderly declined in 1896 to lend his
influential aid to the sociallstic and
revolutionary candidacy of William
Jennings Bryan.
There has also been friction at Wash
ington between the commissioner gen.
erals office and the first assistant sec
retary Of the treasury. a gentleman, If
make it difficult for a subordinate to
get along with him and at the same
time do what the law requires. Those
who know Mr.. Powderly best will not
believe that he is at fault. His knowl-
edge of the immigration problem is cx-
celled by that of no man now in public
life; his determination to enforce the
lou t.l,. ,.,l,
to the extent of the power at his COM
mand has been demonstrated repeat
edly; and if in the exercise of his au-
thority he had received proper support
from above none who know him will
believe that immigration would not
have been safeguarded to the legal
limit.
or Frank z. Sargent, the man named
in the press reports as the presidents 3
choice for Mr.. Powderly's position, the
public knows nothing that is bad and
much that is good. He would undoubt-
edly give an administration of the
office as efficient as he could. But he
is man without experience in immi-
grafton affairs whilst Mr. Powderly
has the duties of the office at his
fingers ends. Simply because friction
has existed is not a reason why Mr.
Powdery should be summarily re-
moved. In fairness to him and to his
friends the president should cause n
thorough investigation into it's causes.
Mr. Powderly is willing to abide the
result of such an inquiry. Those who
aim at his scalp should be made to
abide it.
