Another treasure story is the tale of an
Indian woman 100 years old 1t relates to
great hoard of gold that was hidden in the
Andes by one of the chiefs, who was muir
dered before he came back to Cuzco This
treasure has long been searched for in vain
by both foreigners and Peruvians. Not long
ago this old Indian woman, being about to
die, sent word to haciendado of Spanish
descent for whom she had worked, asking
him to hasten to her He reached her hut
in the mountains just in time to get her last
message. This was that her maternal
grandmother, who had died 80 years before,
had given her word that would indicate
where this treasure lay The word was an
Indian one and it meant the Lake of the
Two Stones. The old woman was ques-
toned, but she would tell nothing more.
That night she died The story went forth
and the whole country was searched by
treasure hunters, all seeking for the Lake of
Two Stones. AT last a narrow valley was
discovered containing lake in which there
were two tall rocks rising high over the
water. The investigators drained the lake.
They dug down under the largest stone and
there found platform Of masonry, covering
a chamber in which the treasure was found.
The secret was kept from the officials for
fear of confscation. And SO no one knows
just how much gold was discovered, but it
was of such great value that it made all of
those who participated in the division rich
Another of those Inca traditions relates to
cave in a mountain called Pillchau, near
Cuenca i'll Ecuador. This cave contains a
mighty treasure of gold, but its entrance is
closed by giant of granite under whose
arm is hole which is open only once a
year and that on Good Friday. Then, and
then only, the giant raises his arm and the
man who can be there at that time can
crawl in under it and get an immense treas
ure of gold. AS the story goes, the gold is
in piles SO labeled that only one pile is to be
taken at a time. If one man takes only the
assigned quantity he will get away safely
But if he is greedy and takes more he will be
squeezed to death by the arm of the giant as
he goes out This is the belief held by the
Indians. Many supersttious people have
looked for that cave, but so far neither the
cave nor the giant has yet been discovered
A fairly we'll authenticated tradition re-
fers to an Inca named Ruminagu who is
said to have carried away the gold and silver
of Quito and buried them: These treasures
were taken from the palaces of Atahualpa
and from the temples and converts of the
virgins of the sun at that place 1t is said
that some of the gold was started to Gaia
marca in order that it might aid in freeing
Atahualpa, but that Ruminagui feared the
treachery of the Spaniards and buried the
gold on the way. This story came to the
Spaniards, and Sebastian de Benalcazar one

be burned, his execution being brought
about largely by Friar Valverde, who was
after made Bishop of Cuzco
During my stay in Cuzco I visited the
Temple of the Sun, upon whose foundations
now stand the church and convent of the
Dominicans. This was known by the Incas
as The Coricancha' or the "place of gold"
1t was rectangular on three sides, with
great oval at the back and its walls were two
stories high and altogether about 1900 feet
long These walls were surrounded by a
thick cornice or border of gold about eight
inches wide, and where the wall joined the
roof there was broad golden band The
roof was covered with gold, and the inner
walls of the temple were literally plated with
it, vegetables and vines Of all sorts being
engraved upon them.
Opposite the entrance to the temple was
mighty plate Of solid gold, heavily incrust-
ed with emeralds and precious stones. This
represented human face surrounded with
rays. 1t was the image of the sun whom the
1ncas worshiped, and used gold in doing So
They considered that metal sacred to the
sun, and otter referred to it as the tears of
that heavenly body. On both sides Of the
image were the embalmed bodies Of the In
cas- of the past each seated on chair of
solid gold.
In addition to the Temple Of the Sun, the
lncas had temples to the stars and moon
The traditions say that there were chapels
to these heavenly bodies in the great temple
at Cuzco, and it is whispered that evidences
of these have recently been discovered

All OF the ornaments and utensils devoted
to the religion of the Incas were made of
gold or silver. In the great hall of the sun
there were golden ewers which held the
water, used at the time of the sacrifices; and
there were Il silver jars filled with Indian
corn. There was golden llama with a
golden fleece; and also golden birds and
golden flowers, all of life size
The Spaniards found a vast amount of
gold in the cemeteries of the Incas. Some
of those monarchs, after death, had their
royal bowels filled with gold. Gold was
buried with them There is a record that
one Garcia Gutierrez paid one-ffth OF the
treasures he found in the graveyards at Tru-
jillo to the Spanish crown. This was only
20 per cent Of the whole, and it shows that

Western Federation OF Miners
Refuses to Recognize Defeat

Denver, Col, April 13.-That the
Western Federation of Miners refuses
to recognize defeat" in ending the
Michigan copper strike IN that they
capitulated not to the mining COM
panies but to a near future that prom
ised nothing but hunger and priva-
tionP; that they expect to continue
their onward march to the goal of
economic liberty were the features
of statement issued today by Charles
H. Myer, president of the Western
Federation of Miners. The statement
was made on receipt of official notifi
cation from district officials that the
mine strikers voted to call off the
strike.
The statement said:
I'VE want the public to know that
at no time during the life of the strike
did they (the miners) feel more con-
fident of victory than on the day they
cast their votes declaring the same at
end"
After reciting the four demands and
the federation's action In supporting
the strikers the statement details in
cidents "as told through the press
charging that the Governor of Michi-
gan aided the unpowerful copper in
terests in driving ''under-paid and
over-worked labor back into the
mines" It declares that gunner were
used to institute a reign of terror,
clubbing and shooting workmen whose
only crime was their refusal to con-
tinue work under unbearable condi-
tons.
1t is maintained that Federation rep
resentatives made every effort to
bring about an honorable adjustment,
going so far as to waive all their
rights and abide by the finding OF
board of arbitration selected by the
Governor and president"

cent of the crime of killing Rosenthal.
Whitley Lewis always declared that
he didn't fire a shot and it is the
warden's opinion that his dying words
were: II didn't shoot at Rosenthal."
Mr.. Clancy said that "Dago Frank"
and Whitley Lewis" always believed
they were not guilty of Staying Rosen-
thai, as were the men who fired the
shots.
Against Execution
Incidentally. while Mr.. Clancy was
sitting in Mr.. Riley's office tonight
the superintendent expressed the hope
that no other man ever would pay the
penalty of death in the electric chair
in this state.
II hope" he said, Ito see the next
Legislature pass law permitting jul
ries to fix life penalty, and that this
reform will succeed in doing away
with capital punishment"
Warden Clancy denied reports that
he was on the verge of a nervous
breakdown owing to his experience
with the gunner.
Governor Glynn was greatly inter-
ested in the report of the warden, but
he declined to make any comment
whatsoever on the case.

Lefty Louie were married. Their young
widows survive them.
Not only during the trial but in
statements given out at Sing Sing,
three of the gunner persisted in the
declaration that Dago Frank had not
been present at the time of the muir
der. and was not in any way con-
cerned in the plot to murder Rosen-
thai During their stay in the death
house all four maintained an attitude
of martyrlike innocence, tempered
with an optimism growing out of their
belief that their fate hinged upon
Becker's and that if he were not gull
ty, they must be set free. The news
crushing hopes of this nature as an
nounced by the warden was received
with stoical calmness.
The crime for which the four gum
men paid the death penalty started
wave of police reform, from which the
ripples have not yet subsidized.
Throughout the revelations made at
the time and subsequently, stalked the
vague, sinister monster known as the
police system"
Rosenthal was shot down early on
the morning of July 16, 1912, in front
of the Hotel Metropole in the heart
of the Tenderloin. On receiving an an
nouncement from man who came in
to the hotel, he walked out and fell
dead before a fusilade of bullets. The
murderers leaped into an automobile
and escaped. Weeks later after Beck
er had been arrested the gunner were
found in a fiat in Brooklyn.
Their conviction and Becker's were
based chilly on the testimony of three
dence. These men-Jack Rose, Bridgey
Weber and Harry Vallon-deelared
that they had hired the gunner to
kill the gambler Rosenthal, at Beck
er's request.
Sam Schepps, little gambler, cor
roborated their testimony. and was
not adjudged an accomplice.
Becker was a police lieutenant in
charge of the strong arm squad"
whose duties were to keep in subjec-
ton the gangs of the city and to reg
ulate gambling houses and places OF
illfame. Rose, Weber and WALTON said
that Becker had made use of his po-
sition to collect money from these
houses. Rosenthal, according to these
same witnesses, having a grievance
against Becker. was about to give evil
dence against Becker to the District
Attorney.
Becker was arrested July %, 1912, but
nearly two months elapsed before the
apprehension of the gunner. Their
trial before Justice Golf marked Il
record of speed in criminal procedure
