TREASURE HUNTING
OFF E. S. VIRGINIA
More Than a Million Dollars In
Sunken Treasure, Gold and
Bullion on Wreck.

Bound on quest for more than a
million dollars in sunken treasure. the
steam trawler Ripple left New York
last week for Cape Charles, Va. and
the submerged wreck of the Ward
Line steamer Merida
The little trawler's decks were lit
tered with equipment for the salvag-
ing operations when she saled from
there late that afternoon, and her
crew included Frank Crilley. one of
the best known deep-sea divers, and
two assistants. George W. Nordstrom,
chief officer of the Merida when she
went down, also was aboard to aid
in locating the wreck.
The Merida was sunk in about -
fathomS of water on May 18th, 1911,
in Il collision with the steamship
Admiral Farragut. Her cargo in
cluded gold and silver bullion valued
at from 81 l,O00,000 to S2,000,000 which
she was transporting from Havana
to New York.
The Ripplc's salvaging expedition
is the second undertaking. The first
effort was made in 1916, and was re-
ported to have been financed by James
A. Stillman, banker, and Percy Rookie
felIer, of New York.
Converse ID West. broker. of New
York, who is one of the hackers of
the present expedition, declared he
believed the Ripple had good chance
ct recovering the treasure. Its a
gamble of course" he said, but we
believe the stake is we'll worth gam
bling for"

Teachers Must Be Paid
Minimum, Armstrong Rules
Salary Scale in Counties May Not be Pared Down
Below the Limit Prescribed By Law,
Says Attorney-General

Teachers salaries in the counties
must not be cut by the County Com
miSsioncrs below the minimum pre-
scribcd at the last session of the
State Legislature, no matter what
else in the school budget may be
pared down, according to an opinion
given by Attoney-General Arm
strong Wednesday to George II.
Rcavis, Assistant State Superintend-
ent of Education. Mr.. Reavis asked
for the ruling because of the appar-
entity conflicting laws.
One law provides that the County
Commissioners must approve the bud
gets submitted by the County Board
of Education. when the budgets do
not make necessary a levy of more
than 40 cents on every 500 of the
tax assessment, but that they may in
sist tha, the budgets come within this
limit. The other law provides min
imum salaries for teachers. In the
opinion Mr. Armstrong states:
IL it shall appear that the
County Commissioners have lev
led in full for the amounts re-
quired to pay teachers salaries
and have disapproved only GER
tain other items no legal question
will arise. If, however, the County
Commissioners decline To exceed
the i0-cent limit imposed upon
them by Law and, in order to
remain within it disapproye in
part the item of the budget relat-
ing to teachers salaries, the diff
Guilty submitted by your inquiry
is definitely presented.
Further on the opinion states:
There can be no doubt that
the Legislature desired minimum
salaries of teachers to be enlarged
and did not intend that the pur-
pose should be defeated by the
technical construction of any other
act passed at the same session.
1t is my view that the County

Mr.. Bratten, who was a candidate
