SPAIN WANTS RIGHT TO
TALK ABOUT WAR, ANYHOW

from Madrid filed yesterday says:
SAction OF the government in pro-
hibiting the discussion of Spanish neu-
trality was severely criticized at a pub
lie meeting today by several speakers
who declared the prohibition was a vio-
lation of the constitution. Pablo A.
Iglesias. a socialist leader, asserted vio-
lations of the constitution were COM
mon in Spain, and demanded for each
citizen the right to discuss the ques-
ton of neutrality. He attacked the
passive attitude Of the government re-
garding the local labor agitation which
he said might expand into a revolu-
tionary movement"

BURIED TREASURE
CASE UP TUESDAY
Four Aged IoWanS to Face Trial
For Alleged Completely In
Killing Cattle Buyer
Back In 1868.

Bedford, Ia. July I2.-One of the most
thrilling cases in the history OF Iowa
criminal records comes on for a pre-
liminary hearing here tomorrow, In
which Samuel Scrivner. Bates Hunts
man. John Damewood and Henry
Damewood, all aged and hitherto I'M
stained residents of this section, are
charged with completely in the killing
of Nathaniel Smith in 1868. The officials
claim that the accused men were mem
bers of a counterfeiting gang back in
the pioneer days Of Iowa n that they
plotted to kill Smith to secure 100000
In cash. which he brought into the
country with him for the purpose OF
buying cattle.
Evidence of h crime came to light
through a court action started by Sam
uel Anderson, who alleged that he was
employed. II years ago, to hunt for the
old treasure chest, under promise OF q
division OF the loot. Anderson ays that
he found the chest but failed to get his
share of the money. The state claims
that it has located $43, 200 of the $4,000,
said to have been secured from the old
crime.
Mrs. Maria Porter, now a resident of,
Quittman, MO, has told q lur1d story
of hearing the advance plot and of see
ing the plotters,' later, with the body
of the murdered cattle buyer. Because
of her knowledge of the crime, she
claims, her Elife was threatened fire.
duently and fear of the consequences
kept her silent. Mrs. Porter's sister
married a member of the famous James
gang.
The inference of the situation Is that
either Mrs. Porter or her sister told the
James boys about the buried treasure
and that the famous Missouri bandits
made several unsuccessful efforts to To-
cate the loot.
Huntsman and his associates deny
the murder story. They admit that
they have searched for a buried treas
ure chest, but claim the search was
based on a legend that the James gang
had buried the fruits Of a bank robbery
near here.
Here is a new theory of the case
which some of the old timers here think
will apply when all the facts are turned
In:
Nathaniel Smith was a member Of
the James gang. instead of a cattle
buyer. The old Iowa counterfeiters
were in touch with the gang to some
extent and Smith was SEN among them
to hide the proceeds of a bank robbery.
The dowans concluded to "dOdblecross"
the James gang, so they killed the al
legged cattle buyer and '~'planted" the
'reasure chest. This view is considered
hore reasonable than that OF q cattle
'uyer wandering around the country,

New York, July 13.-Colonel Roose-

CARDS the country In such a serious sit
uation through the mistakes OF the
Wilson administration that he win
support any decent republican who
runs against him, by which is meant q
republican whose reactionary faint and
tendency Is not marked.
To the colorers mind, Wilson has
shown himself to be a second Buchan-
an. The attitude of the administration
on foreign matters has been to the
colonel "inconceivable" n more i'm
lportant still the failure of the admin

faces is in his own cogent phrase
nothing less than criminal"
Colonel Roosevelt has not gone back

He believes that 1t Is not a time for men

At the same time he regards it as not
Impossible that the republican party

that 1t would be impossible for him to

VESSELS WARNED
OF BOMB Menace
British Mule Transports Sup
posed to Carry Explosives
Planted BY Unknown Part
1er of Frank Holt.

Washington, July 13.-Navy depart
ment officials today awaited responses
from the British steamships, Howth
Head and Baron Napier, laden with
mules for the British army and now
off the South Atlantic coast, to u
warning wirelessed to them to watch
out for bombs in their holds. Both yes
sells sailed from New Orleans, July 8,
the Howth Head for Dublin and Bel
fast via Norfolk and the Baron Napier
direct for Avonmouth.
The warning was flashed out over
the sea from the Arlington wireless
station last night after the receipt by
Secretary Daniels of a telegram from i
New Orleans newspaper stating that q
letter to that paper from a person who
signed himself as "Pearce" indicted
that explosives had been placed aboard
the two vessels.
The writer of the letter also declared
and Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British
ambassador and completing the work
of Erich Muenter, who committed
suicide recently after wounding Mr..
Morgan.
Hollis Partner, He Says.
After announcing his intention TO kill
Mr.. Morgan to avenge the death Of
Holt, the letter writer says:
Holt (MueRter) was my partner,
and l glory in the thought Of his COM
radeship. We worked together ever
since this cursed war began. Holt IS
gone. but l am still here, ana 1 am 60
ing to carry on the work that the w
of us began. 1 am going to carry on the
work with %redoubled fury.
The statement that Holt intended to
wreck libraries and other such public
buildings is q lie. The capitol is the
only building that we planned to wreck
and we partly succeeded in our plans.
But what we did plan, and what I am
going to carry out. Is the just idea to
stop this country from contributing TO
the damnable, hellish, barbRric slaugh-
ter across the ocean.
After Springfield.
British mule ships are daily leav-
ing New Orleans laden with live stock
for the enemies OF Germany, just as
ships laden with uns and ammunI-
ton to slaughter Germans are almost
daily leaving New York. Therefore,
his city furnishes a promising field for
the work that lies before me. I may
succeed in blowing up but one British
ship leaving this port-I may succeed
in destroying 10-but 1 am going to
carry out this work. and whatever I
achieve'wiu be satisfactory 10 me-. AMI
then l will be ready for Morgan, and
after I Eel through with Morgan I will
be ready to share my pals fate. ]
consider 1t q glorious fate.
And Sir Cecil SprinR-Rice, do you
want to know whom Muenter was aft
er when he went to Glen Cove? Nor
gan? Partly. The real reason for going
to Glen Cove was Sir Cecil SPRING
Rice. " We have traiied Spring
Rice for weeks. and we are going to
get him yet"

Birthday Party

Mrs. w. D. Lennon, of Palisade
was just exactly 'steen years of age
last Saturday, and in honor of the
occasion a number of friends were in
vited to the house to partake in the
iollification. The rooms and both the
upper and lower porches were taste
fully decorated with green boughs and
Japanese lanterns, making a charm
ing picture when approaching and
entering the residence.
Dancing was indulged in for a
good part of the evening, but many
different games were played between
music, which also heightened the mer-
riment of the occasion. Miss Ethe
DeVaux won first prize in a contest
dance, consisting of handsome pail
of silk stockings. Hubbard Page was
also presented with very pretty
necktie.
Mrs. Lennon was the recipient OF
many gifts and beautiful flowers, al
of which quite took her by surprise.
Dainty and delicious refreshments
were served close on to the mystic
hour, but it was not until the "wet
sma' hours" that the last guest made
his adieu and voted the affair mos
enjoyable evening.

At Grantwood Hotel

More than two hundred members
of the Whitehead Lodge No. 184 F.
A. M. gathered at Buergeps Hotel
on last Friday evening for the tenth
annual reunion and banquet OF the
lodge. The gathering was very
merry one, and the spirit of good
fellowship and jovihlity prevailed
through out the evening. The ar
rangements made for the feast by
Herr Buergel outclassed those OF pre-
vious years for excellence and splen-
dor, and were thoroughly appreci-
ated by the diners. John j. Bagley
one of the past masters of the lodge
presided as POSTMASTER, and he kept
the fun and merriment at high clip
all night. The speech of the evening
was made by DR.. Charles F. Hunter
of Palisade, who spoke on Brother
hood and Fraternity. Speeches
were also made by Arthur M. Agnew,
Stephen McClave, William E. Atwood
and John GutheinZ.
The lodge was organized in 1908
and has grown with great strides
until it now has more than two hun
dred members. The lodge is the
owner of fine plot of ground on
Knox avenue and the Palisade troll
lev line on which it proposes to build

E. Y. Cohen Jubilant
Over Primary Results

Although a defeated candidate for
the nomination for the assembly by
the Republican party on Tuesday, E.
Y. Cohen instead of going around
with cloud of gloom hanging over
his countenance is today one of the
happiest men in Bergen county. He
considers the apparent defeat one of
the grandest victories that has oc-
Cured in the political life of Bergen
county in many years. In spite of the
fact that he was the only candidate
of the three in the Progressive
bracket not nominated, Mr.. Cohen
bears no grudge or malice and re-
joices with his colleagues in the de-
feat of the long string of old line
Republicans.
In discussing the situation with a
"Palisadian" reporter Mr.. Cohen said
in part:
Discouraged? should say not.
am surprised at the large vote
polled by our bracket and l am de-
lighted to see that the people of
Bergen county are awakening to a
progressive way of doing things, as
evidenced by their nomination of
Mr.. Alderman and Mr.. Bailey, two
men who stand for the best in poll
tics. No, l do not wonder that l
was not carried along with my
friends, for l presume that some of
my views have been little too radi-
cal for some of the people, but it is
only a question of time when they
will all come around. The mere fact
that l was only defeated by so small
margin of 400 votes shows clearly,
l think, how close the race was. In
the meantime there is no reason to
be downcast and every reason to be
happy"
