TACOMA MAN FITTING OUT A
A VESSEL TO SAIL ABOUT
MAY /

Tacoma, Wash, April 6.-At Eagle
harbor the old bark Hesper is being
outfitted for Captain Fred Hackett's
third expedition to Cocos island for
pirate treasure supposed to be buried
there His story is that seventy-six
years ago, during war between Peru
and Chile, the Peruvians loaded their
treasury funds, amounting to $15,000,-
900 in coin. aboard a vessel command
ed by Captain L. Thompson. This
mariner quickly put out to sea, but OBJ
serving signs of mutiny, he put ashore
at Cocos island and buried his treas
ure there.
Captain Hackett possesses what he
believes to be the original chart, show
ing the location of the buried coin
boxes. He says that landslide pre-
vented his reaching the treasure on
his last voyage. He is now equipping
the Hesper with a powerful hydraulic
plant, almost big enough to sluice
away the whole island, which is said
to be only five miles in diameter. He
hopes to sail in May, and believes that
this time nothing can prevent his sue
cess.

OFFICERS BRAND 1T FALSE
SIMPLY ANOTHER OF MANY
SENSATIONAL REPORTS
THEY CLAIM
NO ARRESTS; none EXPECTED
HOWEVER, DETECTIVES AND
MOUNTED POLICE ARE STILL
IN CITY

Has the search of the officers so
nearly unearthed the hiding place of
the kdnapers of the little Rogers boy
that the criminals have threatened
violence of the little fellows relatives
If the sleuths are not called off the
trail? Color was given to such be-
lief last night and today by the pre-
valence of rumor to the effect that
Judge H. L. Waldo, grandfather of
the kidnapped child, had received an
anonymous letter, filled with dire
threats and giving him a few hours
in which to order a cessation of the
investigation being carried on by the
mounted police and detectives.
Today the rumor was strenuously
denied. 1t was branded by the Off
GERS as another of the many un-
truthful reports that have been cir
culated since the boys kidnapping oc-
Cured. Such a letter, If received, |
however, would prove an admirable
clew in which to work. 1t would not
be difficult matter to trace 1t to its
source For this reason a denial of
the existence OF such letter may
have been deemed the part of policy
on the part of the man hunters. If
such a dastardly deed as the sending
of threatening letter has been per-
petrated the search should be resumed
with increasing vigor and the culprits
should be punished to the limit of the
law if apprehended.
Nothing new," is the statement of
the officers when asked regarding the
progress of the investigation. 1--WE |
are up against it."

office of Chief of Police Ben Coles in

of the territorial mounted police is
conducting his campaign of investiga-
ton. His men are still actively at
work and are running down every
possible clew. The air of mystery
that shadowed the actions of the Off
GERS for several days Immediately fol-
lowing the kidnapping has disappeared.
They do not pretend to be in the pos
session of encouraging evidence or In
formation. They say no headway Is
being made. But they are still at
work and there is no indication that
they are about to quit
At midnight tonight week will
