buried treasure,
Under other circumstances the Gov
ernor said today. he would take a
pick and shovel and go hunting for
the hidden valuables in person. but
with the campaign coming on he ex-
poets to be so busy, hunting votes
that hell have to delegate the task

The treasure trove in question con-
sists of large quantity OF silver

believes, somewhere near Freeboard

family OF his great grandfather. Cen
James Cox. first speaker of the Ma
tional House OF Representatives. and
IL was hidden during the revolution
to prevent it's falling into the hands
Of the British.
Governor Cox was told of the cache
today in letter from an aged aunt
living in Illinois. He is deeply inter
ested, he says, and intends to do
everything possible to recover tho
heirlooms. The governor already has
a considerable collection OF relics and
curios OF significance In the history

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Whether Arch
bishop Mannix, OF Australia, will be
permitted to land on English soil
will be determined at the Cabinet
meeting today.
Lloyd George stands firm on his
threat that the prelates remarks on
the Irish situation uttered in Ameri-
can addresses. have made him un-

be turned back upon his arrival at
Liverpool.

ory that such a course will react to
the benefit OF Sim Fein agitators, and
that 1t will be SEIZED upon as q pre-

CHANGE IN LANDINGS.
Meanwhile the Cunard line has
suspended landings at Queenstown
and the Baltic, which is bearing Man
nix, will dock at Liverpool. In some
quarters the change is regarded as
significant and there Is a belief that
the abandonment of the Irish port Ia
due to the fact that the COM
plications involving raising the
bars against the prelate are more
capable of solution in England, hence
the change, which has riled merchants

both passed II yesterday without
stopping and made for Liverpool
Should Archbishop Mannix land at
Liverpool, the question arises here as
to how the government can prevent
his coming to Ireland. Until a few
months ago a permit was required
to land in Ireland. but this regula-
tion was abolished. 1t Is suggested
that It might be revived, as has been
the rule regarding government search
of passengers baggage.
Large numbers Of Irish bishops and
priests from Australia are at present
visiting Ireland, and intimation has
been given that they will form a
bodyguard for Archbishop Mannix II

The archbishop of Sydney, AUS
tralia, who has been visiting Ire
land, today preached a sermon SYM

the Department Of Labor to submit
the present wage controversy over
the pay of peridiem District en-
ployes, to arbitration.
After hurried conference, held
Immediately upon receipt Of a COM
munication from the Labor Depart
ment, the Commissioners issued a
statement declaring it impossible"
to submit to any Scheme" Of arbi-
tration.
Joseph Hurley, president of the
City Employees Association, which
organization claims to represent
2,400 per diem employees Of the Dis
trict, has said his men would sub
init to arbitration.
STRIKE SEEMS CERTAIN.
with one side agreeding to arbi-
trate and the other side refusing,
chances of avoiding a strike when the
city employees meet tomorrow seem
slim.
Neither the Commissioners nor
Hurley have replied officially to the
from the Labor De-
partnent. Hurley told newspaper
men he would accept the proposition
and Commissioner Brownlow express
ed his attitude in the following state
ment:
"The Commissioners cannot submit
to arbitration. We are charged with
the duty of disposing OF public FUNDS
entrusted in our care. 1t is imposs-
ible for us to delegate this authority
to anyone else"
COMMISSIONERS FIRM.
There seems to be little doubt that
tho Commissioners will fatty refuse
to secede from their position. Their
statement yesterday, in which they
assailed the Department of Labor
conciliators, also made II clear that
their minds were unchanged, despite
the ultimatum of the employees giving
them two more days to increase
wages.
There appeared no hope today OF
avoiding a strike of District per diem
employees. The conciliators have la
bored to the point Of human possi-
bility,' they declare, andthcir labors
have been fruitless.
