OLD TIME 10
 BE RESUMED
HOUSE PASSES DAYLIGHT SAW ING REPEAL BILL OVER THE
 PRESIDENTS VETO.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (P)-Day- light saving in the United States, at feast for the time being, is believed to be thing of the past, the house of representative having passed the repeal bill over the Presidents veto today. This bill provides that the clocks of the country shall resume normal time on the first Sunday in October
 The vote for the repeal in the house stood 223 for and 1O1 against, and the daylight saving bill was therefore declared repealed as far as the house is concerned It yet r-- mains for the senate, however, to take the same action as has the house before the repeal is an assured fact, but it is believed that the repeal bill will also pass the senate.
 Regardless of the fact that the bill has been repealed supporters of day light saving turnout the country eX- press the opinion that it will yet be resorted to even by those who are now fighting it, as a means to pro- vide more hours of daylight in the working day.

 FORTUNE HUNT
BRITISH COMPANY WILL SEARCH FOR MYTHICAL FORTUNE
 OF PAUL KRUGER,

LONDON, Aug. 19.-(P)-In the be- lief that Paul Kruger, the president of the former Boer republic in South Africa, was possessed of enormous wealth, the larger part of which has never been accounted for, a company is now being organized here to search for his hidden fortune. The fortune is believed to consist of about $3,000,- 900 in gold and is thot to have been cemented in the hold of the bark Dorothea which was sunk off Zulu land.
 Kruger, during his lifetime, was known to be man of very frugal habits. At the same time it was also known that he continually received large sums of money. But very little of this, it is claimed, has been ac- counted for and it is for this reason that it is believed that the hold of Kruger's ocean home, the Dorothea, holds the remainder of his fortune.

WARSAW. Aug. 19- -(PJ- German troops which are supposed to be guarding the frontier between Ger many and Poland made d sudden at tack on the few Polish soldiers guard ug the Polish side of the line, driy- ing them back, according to informa- ton received here. The Germans then advanced for some distance and succeeded in occupying TWO villages in heastern Silesia, according to tine report, which further states, however. that the civilian population of the district, together with what few Polish soldiers could be gather cd together, succeeded in driving the Germans back across their own iron tier and themselves occupied two German villages. In fact the affair seems to have been more in the na- urr of rio, than d battle, aItho it IS believed that boundary line dis pules are the cause of the trouble.
 Immediately upon receipt of news of the battle here, Herbert Hoover, American relief commissioner, prac- IcaIly took charge of the entire for rIsn colony here, the fear being eX- pressed that there would be a panic among the foreigners when they heard that the Germans were adyanc- ng on the city, as was reported. Hoover then immediately issued or ders to all Americans to cooperate with him in an effort to cause hos 4ICea to cease.
