MILLIONS IN GOLD
FOUND OFF HONDURAS
Treasure Hidden Years Ago
Discovered by Party of Ex-
pIorers From Frisco.

SAN DIEGO, Cal. June 9.-Treasure,
variousIy estimated at from fifteen mil
lion to sixty-five million dollars, which
was hidden by the crew of a Chilean
cruiser off the coast of Honduras more
than a generation ago, has been recov-
cred, according to reports received here,
by a party of explorers aboard the
steamship Eureka, now bound for this
port.
The Eureka is commanded by Capt.
Burtiss, and about two weeks ago
steamed from here under a thirty-day
charter, with party OF San Francis
cans. Their movements were SO cautious
and so surrounded in mystery that 1t was
suspected that the vessel was on fill
clustering expedition against Mexico.
Financed in San Francisco.
The expedition is supposed to have been
financed by Harry kreling OF San Fran
cisco. The map showing the location of
the buried treasure was in the posses ssion
of an erstwhile resident Of Honduras
who tried for many years to attract cap
ital to finance an expedition In search Of
the hidden gold. He was unsuccessful up
to the time he met Mr.. Kreling, several
weeks ago.
A message has been received from
Salina Cruz which read:
Expedition "a success in every way.

This system is now in vogue in Ger

The food problem. the "high cost OF

GOVERNMENT TO ABSORB
ALL EXPRESS BUSINESS
Representative Lewis Pro-
poses to Combine Traffic
With Postal Service.

Representative David J. Lewis of Mary
| land is the author of a bill proposing
| that the government secure all the ex.
press companies Of the country through
| condemnation proceedings and add them
to the postal service. This, he believes
would permit reduction of more than
one-half in the rates on small parcels
and about ope-third generally His bill
provides for this cut and also for the
extension of the system to the country
districts through rural delivery.
Assigns Reasons.
There are two main reasons" said
Mr.. Lewis today. why postal express is
necessary. First, the express company
service does not reach the country and
the farmers. and, second, the contracts
of the express companies give them an
average rate of three-quarters of cent
pound on parcels with the railways,
while the government is paying the rail-
ways cents pound for carrying mail.
In order to get this comparatively cheap
transportation rate for the carriage of
parcels I propose that the express COM
panies' contracts with the railways De
acquired by condemnation
Mr.. Lewis in explaining his remarkable
proposition declared that the charge for
carrying express matter in the United
States is sixteen times as. much as for
carrying freight, while the average in
other countries is only five times as
much; that the effect Is to so restrict the
express traffic here that 1t amounts to
less than one-half per capita of what
it Is in other countries. although our
long distances are such as to demand
more of express conditions.
System Of Zones.
Mr.. Lewis has worked out a system of
zones based on q scientific deduction,
from which a five-pound package. for in
stance. can be sent from Baltimore to
Havre de Grace for IL cents. while the
express companies now charge Is cents.
and average 27 cents for like distances:
from Calais. Me-, to San Francisco will
cost 80 cents for five pounds and $2.42 for
fifty pounds. as against the express COM
pany charges of 65 cents and $50.
The facts are, he said, that the ex-
press companies have been making over
so per cent on the capital actually In
vested, but at that give no service to the
millions of farmers of America.
The rural free delivery. he said, ought
to be part of the express system. and
this bill would provide an agricultural
parcels post to market the farmers, pro-
duce. Rates even lower than those quot
ed are possible. he said. by having the
