Kingston, Jamaica, Oct 4,-The ex- petition composed of Harvard students which started recently on the schooner Mayhower from New York in search of sunken treasure in these waters, will likely have to modify the original plans. The treasure seekers intended to search for Spanish galleon which sunk many years ago. but the exped- ton has been anticipated by a Jamai- can syndicate which chartered a schooner and after an !neffcctual search, returned to Montego bay
 The Jamaicans occupied several weeks in their gold hunting trip and had exciting experiences with hurrl- canes The galleon was not found, but her position on the ocean bed was To- cated, the wreck having broken tc pieces years ago. Divers were sent down and a number of gold coins were found, but nothing of any great value The leader of the expedition was the son of Sir Henry Arthur Blake. whc was governor of Jamaica in lSS9-97
 The location of the wreck which is believed to be near Silver Cay, be- tween Puerto Plata and Turks Island has been visited frequently during the course of the last few centuries, first by an expedition fitted out by the Duke of AhemRrle. who was governor of Jamaica in 1887, Even as late as 1902 ten thousand pieces of freight were brought into Kingston harbor by q party of divers

tues far surpass its faults. It is
estimated that 100000 people attend
the hundreds Of New York nickel
odeons, and world in motion"
theaters every day. On the whole.
they see little that could possibly
be harmful to the morals and
great deal that Is highly instructive.
That the motion picture shows
have come to stay the refoTmers may
as well consider a settled fact. Some
OF the best vaudeville theaters in
New York have recently abandoned
the vaudeville field and are now
showing only moving pictures. Many
of these houses give elaborate pro-
grams, including representations Of
dramas by great actors, accompanied
by spoken or Photographed words
and elaborate musical and mechani-
cal effects.
The patron of the picture show
sees, for a nickel or dime a show
that Is in many respects far superior
to the average vaudeville perform
ance In its startling and entertaining
qualities. The nickeIodeon has be-
come firmly intrenched in popular
favor as the playhouse of the poor.
An attempt to put it out of existence
would be unfortunate, we're it not
so futile.

for the time being in an attempt to
stay the onward march OF It's city
from the days OF old. when shade
trees were planted in the streets pro-
miscuously and without regard to

not want them removed. The man

Moral Reforms That win Fail to
Come to Pass.
(By Glenn Guernsey.)


NEW YORK. May Eff the sentI-
ment Of the New York city members
OF the state legislature counts for
anything-and the metropolitan
solons admittedly have considerable
influence In the deliberations of the
august body at Albany Governor
Hughes is not likely to be successful
in his attempt to secure the passage
OF an anti-race track gambling bill.
There is visable to the nude eye,
no abatement in the feeling Of OPP
position to the governors pet mea-
sure. The senators and assembly
men will go up to Albany on Mon
day, for the special session called
by the governor, in decidedly sulky
mood. The scenes enacted in the
assembly chamber on the final day
of the regular session, when the name
of Hughes was greeted with boots
and jeers, will likely be repeated.
Meanwhile the race tracks out on
Long Island continue to attract the
usual large crowds and the bookmak-
ers are doing fourlshing business.
While 1t is probable that a majority
of the voters Of the upstate counties
and cities favor a measure to abolish
gambling at the tracks, such senti-
ment is by no means universal In
New York. Most all New Workers
In all walks of like, whether or not
they are devotees OF the sport of
kings, look upon race track gam
bling as a harmless pastime and it's
abolition as an infringement of per-
sonal liberty.
To the casual onlooker, whose in
terest In the matter Is purely academ-
lc, the viewpoint of the man In the
street has much in Its favor. Why
one class of men should be deprived
Of the privilege OF wagering their
money on the ability OF certain
horse to get under the wire first.
while others may legally bet on
whether a specified stock is going up
or down, is distinction beyond my
limited comprehension. That, OF
course, is merely an opinion, as
Mark Twain assures us, that is re-
sponsible for horse races.
There exists considerable doubt in
my mind whether the gambling in
stinct can be eradicated by legisla-
tion. l once knew a man who, de-
prived OF all other methods Of wooing
the tickle goddess, Chance. made
wagers with himself whether he
should keep his money or throw II
into the stove. Incidentally the
stove won.
