Californian Fit Out Expedition 10 Re-
cover LonQ Lost treasure.


Oakland, Cal.-Gold bullion contain
ed In strong boxes on the long lost
Brother Jonathan, which was wrecked
off the Mendocino coast, Is the quest
of an expedition headed by Martin
Lund, which went up the coast from
San Francisco bay In Lund's forty ton
gasoline freighter the President.
Until Lund and his associates, con
sisting Of a diver and eight men, had
QUILTED Mt Sausalito and their vessel
was towed to sea by a steam schooner
they managed to guard their secret. 1t
has become known, however, that they
will attempt to raise the sunken treas
ure ship Brother Jonathan, which for
many years had been regarded as a
total loss.
When the Jonathan was wrecked she
was southbound from the northern
gold country with a fortune In her
strong boxes. The exact position OF
the vessel was undetermined, but Lund
stated that he had the proper position
and hoped to salvage the gold.
Tackle, equipment and supplies, to-
gether with the machinery necessary
to lift the gold bullion from the depths,
were taken aboard the freighter. Lund
limited that the Brother Jonathan was
only n out of three possible obJec-
tlyes. 1t is believed that some OF the
crew have been taken into Lund's con-
fdence and are to share In the gold If
1t Is recovered.

FATHERS MIX IN
KIDS QUARREL
AS a Result Lewis LapediS is
Held For Assault With
Intent to Kill.

Lewis Lapedis. AS S. Lafayette
ST., charged with assault and battery
with intent to Kill, was arraigned
in city court Saturday morning. At
first he pleaded guilty. the bond was
set at $50, and the case was con-
tinued until Monday. Later. how
ever, he procured a lawyer who re
versed the plea. Whereupon the
prosecutor asked the court 20 raise
the bond to $500. and set the case
for Saturday instead Of Monday. Al
though the case is set for Monday.
the trial will not take place until
Saturday. according TO the agree
ment reached by the attorneys.
Lapedis' 14-year- stepsOn told
the eight year old boy of Mitchell
Marty that his sister was dishonor-
able. and the youngster attempted to
avenge the slur by licking" his old
er antagonist. lie failed, however.
and was soon leaving the field in
fearful disgrace. However, a cham
pion appeared in the person Of his
father who began pursuit of young
Lapedis. At the home of the latter
he caught up with the lad.
Instead or having the 14-year-old
boy TO handle, Marty discovered the
elder Lapedis on the porch. After
few preliminary passes, Lapedis,
according to the police, used a club
TO end the battle.
Then, on a charge of assault and
battery preferred by Marty, Lewis
was taken 10 police headquarters
last night. His victim was so badly
hurt that it required 20 stitches to
sew up the arm which had been
laid open in. the fight. according TO
the statement made by the prose
cutor in court
Julia Todd. charged with keeping
a house of i'll fame, and Ruth John
son and Cathrine Cawley charged
with frequenting, were dismissed be-
cause of insufficient evidence. John
Solomon, who complained TO the po-
lice that he had been robbed while
in the house, which complaint in
stigated the raid. refused To testify
and the case against hiu. too, was
dismissed. He pleaded guilty, how
ever. TO intoxic&tion, and was given
suspended sentence of 81 and
costs.
The case of Jack Moore. charged
with petit larceny. was continued, as
was that OF Archie Stull, charged
with assault and batter. Maude
Beers, pleading guilty to assault and
battery. was fined 50 and costs, but
the sentence was suspended.
