VERDICT IN DEATH
OF WOMAN REACHED

Investigation of the death of
Josephine Mcdonald, the Chicago
woman. whose remains were found
in an open lot Jan. "a and is sup
posed to have been struck and kill
ed by an automobile. came to a
close yesterday when the coroner's
jury returned verdict in accord
ance with the facts, but failing to
FIX responsibility. The case was Of
special interest here because a few
days after the tragedy James Mon
roe of St. Louis gave himself up to
the sheriff, confessing that he was
the driver of the car. The confess
sion later was proven a fake and
Monroe was at last accounts in the
hands of federal officers on
white slave charge.

Rock Island has had no police wom-

the purpose for which she was ap-
pointed.
She has decided that the loop
section of the city will afford the
better opportunity for her work and
while she will not confine her beat
wholly to the heart of the down

FAMOUS SUNKEN
 TREASURE SHIPS

In the course of an article outlining the possibilities for salvaging vessels sunk by U-boats, A Russell Bond, in Everybody's, for February, mentions some instances of buried treasure that has never been recovered.
 "One of the most interesting wrecks on record is that of the Brit ish frigate Lutine, which was sunk off the coast of Holland in 1799. It was customary in those days to carry much gold and silver on war-vessels and this particular ship was known to have one thousand nine hundred gold bars and five hundred bars of silver with a total value of over six million dollars. It was driven aground in a storm and sank In comparatively shallow water. Great Britain at that time was at war with France, and Holland, an ally of France, claimed the frigate as prize of war. The water was so shallow that at low tide it was possible for a fisherman to reach 1t with scoops and grapples and recover some of it's treasure. A salvage company organized by the Dutch people to recover the wealth of the Lutine succeeded in getting not more than half a million dollars worth of gold and silver. The po- sition of the wreck, however, was de- cidedly unfavorable. It was in an exposed spot and the bottom was swept by strong tidal currents. Grad ually It became buried in sand, and all salvage operations had to cease.
 There are other rich treasures in the sea. In Cumana Bay, Venezuela lies the wreck of the Spanish flag ship, San Pedro, with two million l dollars worth of gold on board, which so far has def1ed all attempts at salv- age. The richest treasure of all is | probably a Spanish galleon, sunk of Lizard Point on the Cornish Coast l in 17S4, which Is believed to have aboard eighty-fve million dollars worth of gold.
 But we need not go so far af1eld | for valuable wrecks. Our own lakes | are filled with them. In fact, Lake Huron Is known locally as the Lake of Sunken Treasure It is estimat- ed that some twelve million dollars
 worth of gold and silver are buried l in the deeps of the Great Lakes"
