COLD QUEST FUTILE
Yankee Argonaut Says Ancient
Mariners Tale Is Mythical.

NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y, Sept. 28.-
After a voyage of 10000 miles in search
of $50,0000 600 in treasure, supposed to
have been hidden eighty years ago by
pirates in the South sea islands, for
mer Alderman George w. Sutton, of
this city, returned home today to his
wife and family, whom he had not seen
for fifteen months. Mr.. Sutton is rich
only in experience, for after he and
his companions>had spent $25. 900, they
became convinced that the tale Of
buried treasure, told them by Capt.
James Brown, the aged mariner from
Auburn, Mass, who organized the eX-
pedition, was myth.
The schooner Herman, in which the
party made the voyage, was sold at
the island of Tahiti, and the treasure
hunters returned TO San Francisco by
steamer. Mr.. Sutton says that when
he left San Francisco Capt. Brown,
who is seyenty-fiye years old, was in
jail, charged withassauft
Mr.. Sutton said he was firmly con-
vinced that the story related by Brown
emanated purely from his imagination.
He said that the captain had told many
remarka BILE tales at sea, saying, among
other things, that Sherlock Holmes
used to work for him.
Mr.. Sutton said that he was induced
to become member Of the expedition
by aafriend in San Francisco. This
friend said he, "heard Capt. Browns
story in San Francisco and wrote to
me to Investigate. / went to Auburn,
Mass, and saw the captain, who is a
Norwegian. He appeared to be a very
truthful man, and was apparently so
much in earnest that / went to San
Francisco with him, taking my lawyer
with me to organize the company
The captain told Mr. Sutton a re-
markable story. He said that in 1920,
when there was a revolution in Peru,
all the national treasure and the gold
and silver plate of the churches.
amounting to $4,000, 900, was placed
sen board the American schooner Black
witch alNl taken to Cocos island, in the
South sea. where it was buried He
said that in 1857 he and Capt Smith,
Of Salem, Mass, who was the son OF
the captain of the Blackwitch. went to
Cocos island in a sailing vessel, found
the treasure and removed 1t to another
Island. where they buried 1t again.
Then he said, they went on pirate
ship and captured several vessels
bound home with gold from Australia.
>, On the way, back to Australia, he
said, the crew got TO fighting and all
We're killed except himself and Capt.
Smith. Capt. Smith tried, to kill him,
but he shot Smith in seif-defense and
threw the body overheard, according
to his tale. This left Capt. Brown the
only survivor.

the secretary to pass on the 157 900
acres of land in the Cherokee Nation

prove or disapproye of the segregation,

DAKOTAN is MAD
S. A. McCanna, Rich, Loses His
Reason In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept 28.-Wandering
from farmhouse to farmhouse and pro-
claiming himself the richest man in the
world, the owner of North Dakota, the
king of finance and all the other titles
his fancy could confer on himself, S. A.
McCanna, wealthy land and mine
owner, was found by the Elgin police
ana yesterday placed under the care of
a physician by his relatives.
Mr.. MeCanna came to Chicago Sept.
22 and registered at the Windsor Cliff
ton hotel as McCanna, North Dakota.
After registering he had his baggage
sent to his room and then left the
house. Nothing more was seen of him
until he was found six miles from FL
gin, although diligent search for him
had been carried on in the meantime.
McCanna had the appearance of a
prosperous business man when he
reached the hotel. He was travel
stained. having just left a train on
which he had made the journey from
his home, but his dress showed that he
was wealthy and a man of education
and refinement There was nothing
peculiar about his movements, and the
hotel management did not know what
to make of his failure to occupy his
room until some of his Chicago rela-
uVes called to inquire about his arrival
When they were told that he had
left the hotel in mysterious way they
paid for the room which had been re-
served for him and began a search.
They were of the opinion that he was
demented and had wandered away.
Chicago was searched from one end to
the other and detectives went to the
suburbs to see If they could find the
man.
Traces of him were found west of the
city. and the Elgin police were notified.
Saturday afternoon they were notified
that a demented, prosperous looking
man had been seen six miles from the
town, and was telling the farmers that
he was the owner of North Dakota. He
was not violent, but wandered about In
an aimless way from one farmhouse
to another. The constable was asked
to secure him and hold him until some
one arrived to take him into custody.
Relatives of McCanna, among whom
are S. w. and S. J. Feeney, of the
brokerage firm Of Feeney & Co., of this
city, went to Elgin and placed him un-
der the care of a physician. McCanna
could give no explanation of his ae-
tions, but appeared to be glad to be
with his friends again He Is the
founder of the town in North Dakota
in which he lives and which bears his
name. He is known as one of the most
prosperous men in the state, and came
to Chicago to participate in the centen-
nial celebration and transact some
business.

Of his trip was told today by Col Ed

SMOKING HANNA OUT
Democratic Chairman Insists
Upon a Joint Debate.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Sept. 28.--
Charles P. Salen, chairman of the Ohio
Democratic state executive committee,
has made the following reply to Chair
man Dicks letter of last night, sent
from Columbus:
your two-column letter discussing
every phase of politics from the Penob-
scot to the Rio Grande and concluding
with the assertion that there is nothing
to discuss is noted in the public prints.
Unless you have exhausted the subject
yourself in the article, your candidate
might find something to discuss of a
political nature at the present time.
But for your assertion of your own
candor 1 would be inclined to doubt
your sincerity. The paramount issue
of the senatorial contest in this cam
paign is the public record of Senator
NJ. A. Hanna and his unfitness by rea
son thereof to be returned to the United
States senate.
"If you are not aware that Hon. John
H. Clarke has attacked his public rec
ord and joined issue with the present
senator upon his record: First, in
fathering the ship subsidy bill, which
seeks to take from the peoples treasury
100000 annually and put it into the
treasury of the steamship companies;
second, in forcing through the legisla-
ture the reactionary and expensive mu-
nicipal code, which denies home rule
to the cities of the state, and, third, in
using his official position to secure for
himself and associates franchise privi-
leges to the injury of the people-you
can get this information by inquiring
of Senator Hanna himself
He is on record as saying that his
public record has been outrageously at
tackled, and that when he goes upon the
platform he will have something to say
about it. [ have asked you to arrange
that Mr.. Clarke may be present when
he says it. You decline for reasons
that would be readily guessed if you
did not assert that candor compels you
to give the real reason for declining
joint discussion.
Hon. M. A. Hanna understands that
the above issues as to the merits of
these measures, which he has cham
pioned, are closely joined, perhaps too
closely joined for joint discussion. 1
trust, after advising with him, you will
become informed as to the situation
and accept our challenge It is not
Senator Bailey's free wool in Texas
which interests the people of Ohio. but

pull over the eyes of the people Again.

"JACK THE RIPPER"
Mutilated Body of Murdered Boy Is
Found in New York.

NEW YORK, Sept 2S.-With the
discovery of the body of boy four
teen years old on the bulkheads at
Katherine street and East river today,

of a crime that recalls the deeds of

that he was murdered. There are evil

The body was discovered under a

heavy pieces of timber, apparently
placed there to give the impression
that the boy had been sleeping under
the canvas and the timbers had fallen
on him. investigation showed that the

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-WaIl street
spent another gloomy day, which was
devoted mostly to trying to puzzle out
where the unending stream of liquida-
ton came from and what caused 1t.
Information on the subject, or even
authoritative opinions, were extremely
hard to get. 1t is pointed out that the
great bankers and capitalists were not
heard of in warning last year during
the high range of prices, while they
were seeking profitable market for
their holdings at that level. From this
it is inferred that the buyers of a
class which decides market movements
would not be heard of In melting 9TH
ers to buy If they were themselves
seeking securities on cheap terms in
the present market.
There is, in fact, rather notable
lack of public quotation of authorities
pointing the cheapness of stocks which
has been heard from time to time dur
ing the long decline and at price lev
els considerably above the present. But
it is equally true that men seeking a
market to realize ready money at foFc-
ed sale of securities are not likely to
miss any means of concealing their
transactions. The source of selling or

fling mystery and inferences usually

MAYOR OF STANFORD
GOES TO COLLEGE
Executive Thinks He Ought to Know

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 2S.-
People who saw a short, well built. de-
termined looking chap, somewhat boy
ish in appearance, striding modestly
across the Yale campus when Yale
opened her doors for her two hundred
and third year, might have thought he
was just a freshman. But in fact he
was no other than Mayor Charles H.
Leeds, of Stamford, who has decided
that he needs more of college career
than he was able to obtain in Prince
ton, where he graduated some years
ago. The mayor seemed somehow to
have imbibed the university spirit, and
his experience at manipulating ward
caucuses and presiding at meetings Of
the board of aldermen In Stamford had
given him more Of confident air than
is usually observed In a freshman.
The mayor went at once to the office
of Dean Phillips, of the graduate
school, where he registered on a small
piece of paper, giving his name and ad-
dress and his occupation as
mayor. This done, he sought
Prof S. c. Schwab, the head
of the department of political
economy, with whom he had short
chat. The mayor chose the following
list of studies with which he will strug-
gle for the coming three years to en-

SOFIA. Bulgaria, Sept. 2S.-The sit
uation here is much brighter today and
the war clouds appear to have lifted.
The porte's assurance that the thirty
two battalions recently order to pro-
ceed from Monastir to Adrianople will
not be moved has lessened the appre-
hension of the Bulgarian government.
Further satisfaction is derived from the
fact that M. Natohovitch is going to
ConStantinople in the capacity of Bull
garian diplomatic agent. He conducted
the negotiations with the porte last
June, and after their failure returned
to Sofia.
The committee appointed at yester-
days demonstration of $4,000 Mace
domains in this city waited on Premier
Petroff this afternoon and asked him If
the government intended to do any
thing to help the Macedonians M. Pet
rolf replied that the ministry was act
ing in what it conceived to be the best
interests of Bulgaria, and would con-
tinue the same policy. The Dnevnik
says:
Although the Bulgarians remain
quiet, it is not true indication of the
national feeling, but it is owing to the
approaching elections. 1t will not be
long before everybody will try to force

28.-Tonight the situation in the Cam

or serious rioting by the discharged
employees Of the Consolidated Lake Su-
perior company all day, is very grave.
NO reinforcements of militia have ar
rived from outside, and the only de-
Iense against the mob, which grows
hourly, is a more or less demoralized
police department, and a small COM
pany of militiamen.
An assault upon the office building
by the mob early this afternoon be-
fore the arrival on the ground of troops
was successful, and a mass of frenzied
men secured possession of the ground
moor OF the building, destroying every
thlng movable that came in their path.
crowd of the Office staff, with drawn
reVolvers, prevented their gaining ac-
cess TO the upper floors of the build
ings. Every window and door in the
building is smashed In. The arrival of
the troops on the grounds, armed with
pail cartridges, about o'clock, served
to restore some semblance of order.
The rioters then contented themselves
with throwing stones at the building
and hurting invectives at the soldiers,
who established dead line" and pre-
vented any approach toward the build
ing by any of the rioters. The greatest
number of the mob are ignorant
Italians, Firms, Norwegians and
Frenchmen, the latter perhaps the

drinking, although the bars this after
noon finally obeyed the order to close
