TREASURE HUNTER
 GOES BANKRUPT Creditors of Ormesby Hear Entrancing Story of
 Hunt for Riches

London, September Especial. )-To treasure of the estimated value of H. o0o.O00 sterling, and to find that the road led, not to the sunshine of the tropics, but to the gloom of the bank ruptcy court, is surely to be counted among lifes little ironies.
 If there Is one thing in this world more certain than another 1t is that in the earth and under the sea exist vast amount of treasure which once belonged to man, and has, In a way, returned to nature. Whether it was consciously buried, or merely mislaid, whether it was lost in Spanish galleon or a mod ern liner. untold millions in bullion and jewels only await finding.
 The difficulty Is to locate them, as treasure hunters in all parts of the world for centuries past have found to their cost. If the money spent on ex- petitions to distant lands or in diving operations off the coasts of Spain and Portugal and Ireland were compared with the amount of treasure recovered 1t would almost certainly be found that there was a balance on the debit side.
 Creditors of Arthur Ormesby, who met in bankruptcy court yesterday to hear the explanation of his failure, were regaled with an entrancing story of 6 treasure hunt, which may have consoled them for the loss of their money.
 The debtor was interested in an ex- petition begun last year to search for the Jesuits secreted wealth at Sacam- baya, Bolivia. South America, reputed to amount 10 about s55, 1000. 900.
 This famous treasure was left by the Jesuits at the time of their expulsion from Spanish domains in the year 1767. That 1t has not been removed since is due to the fact that seven of the eight Jesuits who lived In the monastery of Sacambaya were hanged by the Pope. The survivor died In Peru. and through nm came the data relating to the treas ure, and also to the mines worked by the Jesuits. The information was op- tained from the daughter of a priest to whom the original document was sent for translation some years ago, and who is now dead.
 Eight years ago excavations were be- gun at the point indicated in the oIc document in the ruins which now rep resent the monastery. A tunnel was made in a hill which it was supposed hid the buried millions. and it was fondly supposed that further efforts would bring them to light
 MT. Ormesby had an agreement with Maj. Gen. Sir John Campbell, where by in consideration of his esrvices rem dered in the formation of the expedi- tion Sir John had agreed to pay him S100,000 in the event of $2.500,0O0 of the treasure being recovered. The debtor has charged his interest to the extent of s50,000. and his only assets, apart from such interest, are valued at s400. The liabilities are estimated at $25oo.

the operation. "An ulcer had formed and the man would have died within month if he had not been operated on," he said Ten of the knives had been bone handled but this material had been dissolved by the gastric acids The wooden handled knives were intact. The dollar swallowed 10 years ago was as bright as if the coin had just come from the mint. The acids had kept the silver from furnishing. Some of the steel blades were rusted.

Nothing of that sort is being done now or if 1t Is being done. 1t Is being kept very quiet. There Is feeling in financial circles that while business Is indubita- bly, good Just now. 1t is In such posi- ton that If anything bad should hap pen 1t could stop with a great deal moro suddenness than 1t started. This Is what Wall street is watching for-some sign of an abrupt stoppage of the pres- ent boom, and Wall street fears that a realization that we are facing general changing of the tarifr schedule may clap the brakes onto business with 6 force sufficient to hurl the driver through the wind shield.
 In brief. Wall street Is as full of hope as Is the rest of the country. It is hopeful but 1t has not as yet fully em- braced the idea that prosperity Is here in full force and to stay.

MARKET CONTINUES
 BULLISH IN TONE But Street Is Not Yet En-
 tirely Satisfied MONEY RATES GO UP Bank of England Has Not Advanced Rate Since 1907 Until Now. Politics Still Keen Factor
 on the Future
nx.W. c. NICHOLAS

New York, September 7.-tSpecial)- Either the market has lost it's rudder or the helmsman has gone on a strike. Certainly there has been no trend that anybody could discover during the last week and the most competent ohasers after profits running into the fractions of points have confessed themselves ab- solutely beaten at the game. In spite
 of the inactivity of the market, general sentiment toward securities has con tinued on the whole to be bullish and only the professional traders on the floor of the exchanges have leaned to-
 ward tho bear side. The facts sur rounding securities are undoubtedly
 bullish. The railroad earnings that
 have come to hand during the week
 have made splendid showings with one
 or two exceptions Reports from the
 steel centers have been not only satis-
 factory but highly flattering, and some
 of the technical journals devoted to the steel trade have described the buy
 ing of finished steel products and pig
 iron as "tremendous, "a strong word
 for a technical journal to use in de- l scribing business of any kind. All Of these bullish influences have led people | to expect that the market would go up, but in this expectation they have
 been something like former Secretary
 of the Treasury Shaw and his two hogs, the weight of which he was won't to dilate on In his old home In Dennison, Iowa with a great deal of enthusiasm.
 He finally slew the hogs and a neigh
 bor asked him if their weight came up to expectations No, 1t didn't said Shaw. And I didn't think 1t would" While people expect the market to go up and confess that the facts surround ing securities warrant an advance in prices in many cases, they will not be disappointed If 1t does not go up for a | considerable time to come.

BROKER is STILL MISSING
But Wife Believes w. H. Land Is
Alive and Will Soon Return to
His Home.

Norfolk, Va, March 19.-Nothing
further was heard yesterday in rela-
ton to the whereabouts of William H.
Land, one of Norfolk's most promin-
ent real estate brokers, who disap-
peared last Friday. Several clues are
thought to have been discovered but
none have lead to success in locating
the missing man.
Thursday morning he left home
in his usual bright and CHEEKY dispo-
sition. Since that time he has not
been seen at his home in Redgate ave
nue.. He was, however, seen on Gran
by street the next day; and at later
hour he was seen near the Norfolk
4 Western depot.
No definite theory as to the cause
of his disappearance has been reach
ed by members of his family. but they
believe that he is still alive and will
return shortly, unless he has met
with foul play. 1t does not seem
probable that he could have been the
victim of crimally inclined persons,
for the case would have come to the
attention of the police before this
time.
Mr.. Land is about S feet 5 inches
in height and rather stout, weighing
probably $50 or 100 pounds. He had
dark black hair, turning slightly gray
around the temples, black mustache
cut close and kept well trimmed. He
was we'll dressed and neat in appear
ance.

STOLEN MONEY RECOVERED
Detectives Secure Large Portion Of
Money Stolen by George f.
Huffman.

Harrisonburg, Va, March 80
Three glass fruit jars are on exhib-
ition here today in local store win
dow and are a great attraction to the
thousands of persons here for March
court day. The 500 twenty-dollar
bills, amounting to $11,900, which
were stuffed in the jars when the de-
tectives found them under the Huff
man home at Penn-Laird have been
sent to the department in Washing
ton.
George E. Huffman, the railway
mail clerk, after making his confess
ion, first told that the money was hid
den under the corn crib at his home
at Penn Laird. The detectives arriv-
ed here Saturday and spent several
hours tearing down the corn house
and digging up the ground. They
finally gave up their search and phon-
ed to Lynchburg their failure.
Huffman stubbornly refused to tell
the true hiding place of the money
until his lawyers threw out a hint
his family might get involved in the
affair. Huffman then said that the
money was under his fathers house
500 yards distant from the corn crib.
"A telephone message to Rockingham
followed and in few minutes three
fruit jars containing the money were
found.
The affair continues to be a genu-
inc sensation in Rockingham.
