Pot Of Louisiana
Pirates Gold Found

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. What
residents believe was a pot of Jean
Laftte's gold buried years ago by
members of his pirate band, has been
unearthed on the farm of Ben Cam
bre on Bayou Manchac, about twelve
miles from Port Vincent. The dis
covery was made by Roy McCroy, a
young farmer of Ascension parish.
He was blowing the land, the story
goes. when the ploughshare struck
what he believed to be a great rock.
He dug up the object and it turned
out to be rusty iron pot, Anticipated
in make. He tore off the cover and
a large collection of ancient Spanish
gold coins was revealed.
The money has been placed in a
Baton Rouge bank for safekeeping.
No estimate of the value of the
treasure has been made. The finding
of the treasure recalls the wild days
of the pirate in Louisiana. His
headquarters were in a secluded nook

feet under the ground, at the end of
which | dig place large enough for
my family which consists of Mrs.
Beaver and three children"
Tinker Bob was, indeed, surprised
to think Timothy Beaver was such a
wonderful creature. He sat patient
ly on his sled watching the many
maneuvers of the Beavers as they
carried limbs and sticks and made
their dam still higher. Their front
teeth were like chisles and it only
took moment to gnaw large limb
in two. Now and then one would
plunge into the water and from the
bottom Of the lake bring up mud and
stones and pack them in place so the
water would not leak through the
dam.
Suddenly every worker halted and
raised to his hind feet. In silence
they were motionless for an instant.
Then came a signal from Timothy
Beaver, at which each Beaver plung-
ed into the water and was seen no
more. Tinker Bob could not under
stand just what this might mean but
he thought he would wait a little to
see what would happen.
He arose from his sled and looked
about. As he stood on his tiptOes
searching the landscape, he spied a
familiar creature coming toward the
dam. Tinker Bob hid himself among
some underbrush along the bank Of
the river and waited to see what
would take place. when this unwel-
come stranger arrived. He soon saw
what was in the mind of this fellow
for he had seen the same trick be-
fore. 1t was the same old sHunter
with his traps and he was putting
them on the Beaver dam. For Beaver
skins are very valuable, and the
Hunter was anxious to. get few to
take to the city to trade for food.

SOUTH COLD TO
HOOVER BOOM
Candidacy's Failure TIC
Sweep Dixie Proves
Severe Setback

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE out
standing feature of the last few days
in national politics has been the ap-
parent slump of the boom for Her
bert Hoover for president which was
started by a New York newspaper
something over week ago
Reports from over the country IN
dictate that when the first wave caus-
ed by the Hoover splash had subsld-
ed there were new ripples on the
surface to indicate that Hoover
would be a serious contender for
either the Democratic or Republican
nomination.
From California comes the word
that the Democrats there believe that
Hoover could be elected and they are
reported to be starting move to
make him the Democratic nominee,
but elsewhere there is little news of
the Hoover boom.
Question of Party Politics.
Throughout the South it seems that
the question whether Hoover is a
Democrat has caused the leaders in
that section to look on Hoover's can
didacy Internationally and without en-
thusiasm, while most of the Northern
states seem to have favorite son can
didates for the Democratic nomina
ton, who, at the present time. are
overshadowing the Hoover move
ment.
Further than this, Hoover has been
hurt a great deal by his lack of or
ganization in either party. The fact
that there has been no definite an
nouncement of his politics has caused
many leaders who might ordinarily
be expected to spouse his cause to
hesitate, hold back and spurn the
Hoover movement as being outside
their dominion. In the meantime the
candidates of both parties are going
into the various states and lining up
the political leaders right and left,
leaving little room for the Hoover
movement, except among the unor-
gained element, which is never
strong in American politics.
hiR-. icket antteDM123 4123 4123 l
Possibility of Deadlock.
The party lineup has already be-
come SO strong among the Republi-
cans for various candidates that it
now appears almost impossible that
Hoover could be nominated except
in the event of a deadlock, which
would cause a complete overturn of
the dope bucket for the Republican
convention. The general belief is
in Washington that if Hover wishes
to make the race he will have to com
NIT himself to Democratic policies,
for his chances in that direction are
infinitely better than they are with
the Republicans.
Pennsylvania Democrats have de-
termined to lineup solidly behind A.
Mitchell Palmer. Encouragement,
and he will undoubtedly get the sew
enty-six votes in the Democratic con-
ventlon from that state. Indiana
Democrats are very much undecided
what they will do and probably will
follow the instructions of Vice-Pres-
ident Marshall, who wants an unin.
structed delegation sent to San Fran
cisco.
