PAR0LED CONVICT HAS
BURIED TREASURE YARN
Offers by Tom Alexander to Locate 1t
for Portland People Lead to His
Arrest.
OFFERS TO SPLIT WITH
DETECTIVES IN ROSE CITY
Close to 100000 in Loot Said to Have
Been Buried by Train Robbers and
Others.

Portland, June 21.-Offers made by
Tom Alexander, paroled convict, to
lead Detectives Tichenor and Abbot
to a spot where money and valua5les
worth more than 100000 are buried
are puzzling the detectives, who believe
that, while Alexander cannot do what
he pretends, he probably has some ink
ling of real "plant,' his description
of the supposed loot answering to that
which was taken from a Union Pacific
train near Ogden about three years ago.
Alexander, after serving three years
of 15-year term from klamath Falls,
was parOled some months ago, and has
been in Portland. Yesterday it came
to the ears of the detectives that he
was going about the North End trying
to enlist some one in a mysterious ex-
pedition, and they went after him.
On the way to detective headquarters
Alexander offered to take the detec.
tives into his confidence, promising that
the loot should be "split three ways. {"
one-third, he said, must 60 toward eff
fecting the release of an unnamed
man now in the state penitentiary, and
the remainder would be divided between
himself and the detectives.
Cash Placed at $4,000
Except that it is out of the state of
Oregon, Alexander would give no hint
OF the hiding pace, but he said it con-
tanned $15O,OOO IN az er mou9v, $%1UpO
in gold and a large quantity Of iewNlry
arc registered mail It would cost
$5Gn to unearth it, he said.
"Why don't you 60 after it alone, "
he was asked
g. can't leave the state and, besides,
have no money. You can hold a gun
on me all the way, and if I don t make
good, shoot"
After questioning the man at length,
the detectives summoned Deputy Sher.
iff Curtis, who is a state parole officer,
and had custody of Alexander while
warden Of the penitentiary, Mr.. Curtis
believes that the man in the peniten.
'tiary whose release is to be effected is
Ed, Jergens, sentenced to 10 years to
life for stage holdup and frequently
mentioned in connection with the train
holdups which have occurred on the
Southern Pacific road at Cow Creek
canyon. Jergins, however, says Alex.
ander, is not the man he refers to.
"Don u be mutt" whispered Alex.
ander to Detective Tichenor, as Curtis
led him away. "The money is there,
and you might as well have it as any.
one"
While no confidence is placed by the
authorities in the story as told by
Alexander, all of them are inclined to
believe that he may have gathered
prison gossip of some significance, as
great quantities Of valuables stolen in
a number of train holdups never have
come to light. Deputy Curtis will hold
Alexander for further investigation.

ART OR SPECULATION

1t is reported that President Wilson
is not pleased with the Senate Finance
Committee because it reported in faor
OF "a tariff tax on art and books. -
The tariff on art as it has been for a
long time, seems to us to be quite right
and satisfactory. The art which is
imported into this country to be put in
public galleries for the use and view
Of the people at large. is now admit
ted free. Books for public Libraries,
museums and the like, are also admit
ted free. But this does not satisfy
those who want to have the name of
being favorable to art and literature.
They want all art work and all litera.
ture to be put On the free list. This,
however, would be manifestly unfair,
for two reasons.
First, the person who imports PIC
lures, statuary, or rare books for his
own private enjoyment and to show TO
his friends. has no claim whatever upon
the public to allow him to make these
imports free of duty. There is no more
obligation to allow the free import of
such private purchases than there is to
allow the import of fine crockery, glass
ware, household adornments, tapestries.
and fine linen. All Of these come, more
or less, under the designation of art.
but the import of them is for private
and personal use, and in all such cases
the import duty should be paid. The
qualification Of vanity or the private
taste of the wealthy through the import
of rare articles should pay its price.
Just the same as other articles that arc
not called art or literature should paw.
For, so far as such imports are for the
qualification of the owner and held as
his private property. the public has no
interest whatever in exempting them
from duty.
Second, there is form of speculation
which is involved in bringing in rare
pictures, rare sculpture. or artistic or
rare books It often happens that the
importer Of such rarities is able To real.
ize big profit on his investment, and
he sells, lust as he expected TO. The
purpose of the import was to make
money. Just the same as merchants pur-
pose doing in their importing Of rare
laccs, or fabrics of many kinds, that
might be and are called art The spec
ulative dealer in art or in books is sim
ply a merchant. and rs such should be
compelled 10 pay on his imports pre-.
cisely the same as any dealer in any
form Of imported goods.
This is the distinction which the Sen.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-07-21

ate clearly seeks to make IN attaching
duties to art and book imports. AS to
books, there is another feature which
comes in. We refer to tho labor ele-
ment. Books, the work upon which is
done in Great Britain, either wholly or
in part, are imported in direct compe-
tition with the printers and the book
publishers in this country. There is no
reason why these printers and publish
ers should be put IN direct competition
with foreign work on the basis of the
low wage scale Of European workmen
and publishers.
We imagine, therefore, that Presi-
dent Wilson will have his labor for his
pains in undertaking to argue with the
Senators against the imposition of a
duty upon private imports Of works of
art or Of books. and that is exactly how
the matter ought to rest.

EXPATRIATED AMERICANS.

In connection with the jubilee cele-
bration at Gettysburg, there was a
mournful note recalled by an expert
encc of Secretary Root when he was
on his tour OF the South American Re-
publics. 1t will be remembered that
directly after the war, a number of the
Officers Of the Southern army and
leading politicians of the Confederacy
expatriated themselves, being 10th to
take the oath of allegiance to the
United States, and despairing Of their
country since the Confederate cause
had failed Some of these officers
went to Egypt, some to Europe, and
some TO the various countries of South
America, Secretary Root in his Jour

expatriates near Sac Paulo in Brazil

old Confederate officers vet alive and
having numerous descendants. They
spoke the English language in their
homes, and, as a rule, have entirely

home. Some Of these approached Secre-
tary Root and questioned him on the

proposition of returning, asking his
advice as to what they ought to do,
Replying to one who asked if he ought
to return to the United States, Secre-
tary Root said; "No; stay where you
are, and bo good Brazilians. You will
find the States so changed that they
will no longer seem like home to you. -
There is no question but that Secre-
tary Root gave good advice to that
man, and to all who are similarly cir
cumstanced, The United States today
is quite different Nation from the
former Union of States; it's people are
so changed that these old Confederates
would not recognize them any moro
as their compatriots. Even in the
South the change has been so great
that the returning Confederate would
feel himself stranger in q strange
land
And so there was no representation
at Gettysburg of that Confederate
colony at Sac Paulo, or of any Confed
crate family that expatriated itself.
And this is just as well, for while at
Gettysburg memories might have en-
tlrely departed, as far as any animos
ity is concerned. the mournful fact re-
mains that these e1patriates would
find the conditions so different in the
United States from their dreams of
long ago, that they would be disheart-
ened, discouraged, and appalled,.

DEALING WITH NICARAGUA.

1t Will come as a surprise upon the
country, precisely as the dispatches
say it was to members of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Affairs, to find
that Secretary Bryan is friendly TO the
Nicaraguan treaty, which the Taft ad-
ministration favored, and that he is
disposed to go even further than Sec
retary Knox ventured to go, in the
way Of getting actual control over Mic
aragua. 1t is true, further, that the
United States, at the instigation of the
government of Nicaragua, intervened
10 protect the lives of Americans and
other foreigners when disturbances
arose in the Nicaraguan republic last
year. Some criticism was made of this
by the Democrats, but nothing very
serious, because the procedure was reg
ular and above board, and beyond ALL
effective.
1t is a surprise, however, to find that
Secretary Bryan is disposed to go so
much further than Secretary Knox ven
tured to propose In the way of super
vision over Nicaraguan affairs. Sec
retary Bryan is in favor OF paying the
S3,000,000 to get the perpetual canal
right. He is in favor of putting upon
Nicaragua the same limitations that
we have put upon Cuba, and even
more. In all this we are glad to sup
port Secretary Bryan, and to recog-
nize in this move a new departure on
the part of the administration and
limitation on the dcnunciation of "dol-
lar diplomacy" that was SO fervently
fouted on the coming in Of the pres
ent administration. 1t appears that
Secretary Bryan has found since he
came into office that the dollar is
big thing in modern diplomacy. all
over the world. Diplomacy is today
used more to advance commercial in.
terests than it ever was before in the
history OF the world; although the con.
nection between diplomacy and COM
mercialism has always been very di-
rect and close.
The inquiry is suggested whether
Mr.. Bryan wishes to mako this decla.
ration as 10 Nicaragua u IOTclunDeI
as to his policy toward other Cen
tral American republics. We would not
consider that it is necessarily so. but
that it is a precedent IN case any Of
the Central American republics wish
to put their destinies and their SUI
pervision under charge of Our Govern
ment. Because the Secretary is in
favor of this step towards Nicaragua,
it does not necessarily follow that he
Is seeking the same control as to Costa
Rica, San Salvador, Guatemala, or that
there is concealed in it any hint to-
ward Mexico. At the same time, we
consider the action timely, and hope
that it may have good effect also
upon Mexico, by way of suggestion
to that country that the United States
is alert and is prepared to take its
part in the international affairs of the
world and in support of the Monroe
doctrine. and that it is not willing to
lie supine and be trodden over by
weak and reckless power that seems
to have neither self-respect nor capa
city for self-rule.
