New York. April 1.-Two large bags
containing $4,000 in $50 gold pieces were
found hanging behind the chimney when
the hovel in which William Jaynes. an
aged farmer. lived for fifty years until
his death last December, was torn down
to-day at Hampstead. L. I Bank books
hidden in the walls Of the shanty showing
deposits OF $4,000 also were found
When the aged miser died he left a viii
bedueathing his shanty and the ten acres
of land. on which he grew vegetables, to
Sylvanus De Mott, d distant relative
No other relatives were mentioned in the
will and no reference was made to any
further property.
For years it had been believed that
Jaynes was wealthy and that he had a
vast hoard of gold buried in his garden,
so when he died at the age Of elghty-nine,
relatives and nelghbors dug up every
inch of the ground surrounding the hut
in hopes of discovering the treasure, but
their efforts were without avail
The executors, De Mott and a man
named Charles Bailey, recently decided
20 tear down the hOvel and erect a mod
ern dwelling, The work was begun to-
day, and as one Of the men was poking
in the wall with a crowbar a metallic
jingle came forth A moment later the
eTowbar penetrated one OF the bags. and
a stream Of yellow gold poured onto the
floor.
Wild with excitement. the men tore
the chimney down and discovered a sec
ond bag larger than the first. The bank
books were tucked away ink reeesses in
the walls.

He VIII Ignore Police.
Chester, Pa, April 15.-Following DIFF
ferences over the powers of the police
and their behavior since the beginning of
the strike on Monday, the town authori-
ties of Chester and the heads of the
Chester Traction Company clashed TO-
night over the expressed determination Of
President John J. Rigg to operate cars
tomorrow in the face Of the demonstra-
ton and threats Of the strikers and sym
pathizers.
The trouble resulted from the refusal
Of the police in the afternoon to promise
protection to cars after one car, manned
by professional strike-breaker and po-
licemen, had been sent out from the car
barn and chased a dozen squares by 1000
rioters.
Pistols were fired, but no one was hurt
The police officials also expressed doubt
as 10 whether they would protect cars
tomorrow if they all run.
As a result Of the stand taken by the
mayor and the police chief, President
John J. Rigs declared that tomorrow
morning he would operate cars with
strike-breakers whether he had police
protection or not.

Asheville, April l5-Whether the United
States owns all the land in the eight
western counties of North Carolina will
be decided in a test suit Instituted in the
United States Circuit Court here. by
District Attorney E. H. Holton.
The district attorney alleges that tie
United States owns all land west of the
Pigeon River and southwest Of the noun
tain chain, extending from the head of
the river TO the South Carolina boundary,
including 5000 acres of George ". Van
derbilts forest reserve, many towns. fac
tories, and mines. The land is occupied
by thousands of people.
The basis of the district attorneys
claim is that while the original thirteen
States were acting under articles Of con-
federation. North Carolina, having treaty
making power, made a treaty with the
Cherokee Indians. granting that tribe all
this territory. and that after the present
Federal Constitution was adopted the
United States made a treaty with the
Indians, who eeded their lands 10 the
United States in exchange for part of
Oklahoma, to which part the tribe re-
moved
North Carolina treated this cession TO
the United States are restoring the State S
ownership and granted the lands TO set
tiers on which grants all present land
holders base their claims
The district attorney says Congress need
not buy these lands for a forest reserve.
because It already owns them. It is pro-
posed TO take the forests and leave hold
ers Of improved property In peaceahle pos
session. Under this course all of the Van
derbIt holdings would be seized as they

PRESIDENT FOUGHT FOR SHIPS.
Wrote to Speaker Cannon and Mr.,
Humphrey.

| Extraordinary methods were pursued by
President Roosevelt TO defeat the Re
publican leaders in their insistenee that
one or two battle ships would be sufficient
for this years budget In addition to
sending in q special message he wrote
letters to Speaker Cannon and Represen-
tative Humphrey, of Washington, advo-
eating double the number Of armorelads
carried by the naval bill.
The letter 20 Mr.. Humphrey, in which
he said that he did not see how any
American could vote against four battle
ships. was read in the House The letter
to Speaker Cannon was intended 10 be
strictly confidential. and was not read.
but the methods pursued by the President
10 have its contents made known to men,
bers justify a reference to It.
In the letter to the Speaker, the Presi-
dent gave reasons for an authorization of
four battle ships radically different from
the reasons given by him in his public
message advocating that Congress make
appropriation for the same number of
.armorclads.
The message placed the recommendation
on the ground that strong navy was
the greatest guarantee of peace. The let
ter to Speaker Cannon indicated that
there was no telling what International
complications might arise.
The President made plain to MI Can
non, it is understood, that his letter to the
Speaker must be regarded as strictly con-
fidential and must not be shown to any
persons except the chairmen of the COM
mittees of the House most concerned
These chairmen were Tawney. OF the Ap-
propriations Committee Hull. Of the Mill
tary Committee, and Foss. of the Naval
Committee
Apparently they were not impressed by
the Presidents concern, for Tawney and
FOss, at least, were consistent and per-
sistent opponents of the four battle ships
proposition. and Tawney offered an
amendment which was voted down for
one battle ship only.
According to the story told in the House.
President Roosevelt gave to Representa-
tive Richmond Pearson Hobson, of Ala
bama, a copy Of the confidential letter to
Speaker Cannon. and 1t is said that the
speaker ana the CHAIRMAN OF the COM
mittees named were startled when ''-ey
learned that Mr. Hobson was showing
this copy TO his Democratic associates
and using it as an argument for four
battle ships
The circulation of the letter by Mr..
H0bson aroused some Indignation. and.
according TO gossip among congressman,
the inconsistency OF its sentiments with
those expressed in the Presidents mes
sage was responsible in part for the heavy
vote against the four battle-ship amend
ment. which Mr.. Hobson offered.

Simple Cure for Insomnia.

This to many persons is a matter
of high Importance. Nervous persons,
who are troubled with wakefulness
and excitability, usually have strong
tendency of blood to the brain, with
cold extremities. The pressure of
blood on the brain keeps it in stimu-
lated or wakeful state, and the pulsa-
tions in the head are often painful.
Let such rise and chafe the body and
extremities with brush or towel or
rub smartly with the hands to promote
circulation and withdraw excessive
amount of blood from the brain, and
they will fall asleep in few moments.
A cold bath or sponge bath and rub
bling or good run or rapid walk in
the open air. also going up and down
stairs few times just before retir-
ing, will aid in equalizing circula-
ton and promoting sleep. These rules
are simple and easy of application in
castle or cabin, and great benefit will
be realized by those giving them fair
test.
