Treasure Hunting
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Searching for hidden treasure has ever
been a Fascinating pursuit. especially
with those fond of adventure. A Wiscon-
sin college professor has lately formed
a company to excavate on Oak island,
Nova Scotia. where it is believed two
million pounds sterling was buried over
two centuries ago. Feasibility is given
to this story by the unearthing of a
large stone during a previous attempt to
locate the fund, on which information
was given that the treasure lay 10 feet
below. The pits filing with water caused
the abandonment of the scheme which
the company now organized proposes to
carry out.
Expeditions of this sort sometimes have
no better foundation than rumor or
vague conjecture. Yet instances are not
wanting where the inference drawn has
a certain historical support. The defeat
of the Spanish Armada, for example.
has led to a search for those rich-laden
sunken galleons. Several of them have
been definitely located. although their
treasure as yet remains inaccessible.
Again, Charles Kingsley's question as to
what became of all the boarded gems at
the sacking of ancient Rome has in
spred many attempts to secure author
ity for dredging the Tiber The belief
obtains that many of the old Mexican
mission stations contain immense wealth
in the shape of gold ornaments hidden
away during time of disruption.
A popular legend, maybe with less sup
port is that which credits mad King
John of England with having buried a
chest of royal valuables in the neigh
bOrhood of Newark castle Only a few
months ago the startling tidings came
that an English search party had gained

II was particularly this last detail which
convinced the local authorities that the

TO BLOW
UP U. S. EMBASSY
IN MEXICO CITY
Ambassador Wilson Asks Mexican Gov
eminent TO Prevent Further Anti
American Demonstrations.

Mexico City, July 14.-Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson received Saturday
an anonymous letter threatening to
blow up the American embassy The
missive was Immediately turned over to
the Mexican foreign ministry.
Mr. Wilson has asked the Mexican
government TO prevent any more anti
American demonstrations.
The pals prints full page article on
the anti-American movement, intimat-
ing editorially that the time is near
when MeXicans must fight the United
States, and urging Mexico to put the
responsibility for war up to America.
The paper says it has been visited by a
committee of women school teachers
who offered to go into the army and
fight in case of an international conflict.
President Huerta, after causing the
police Saturday to disperse the public
school students who were figuring in an
anti-American demonstration at the Ma
tional palace, sent message to the
students informing them they might
send committee to- him, but he would
not sanction a demonstration.
The Mexican Department OF the In
terror says that representatives of 10000
workmen have appealed to the govern
ment for military training so that they
may be ready to fight for the national
existence.
