Party Sails To Hunt Treasure
Lost AT Sea

New York, Aug. 31.-Uncheered
except by her own crew and almost
unnoticed in the bustling traffic lanes
of the harbor, the little American
steam trawler Ripple put to sea TINS
afternoon on one of those romantic
quests that always bring a thrill to
the imagination-a hunt for ourled
treasure.
Silver and gold-21 tons OF bar
silver, many kegs of gold colns-are
what Capt. Jack Carmichael and his
crew of 25 are after. The stuff is
at a certain point buried beneath the
shifting sands of the Atlantic. mat
certain spot is known accurately and
surely to the treasure-seekers. And
besides the silver and gold are cop
per and lead in huge qualities. A
rich haul, if it can be hauled.
Ten years ago the Ward liner Me-
rida, bound from Havana to New
York was rammed by the American
mail steamship Admiral Farragut.
She sank with her precious cargo be-
fore even the safe containing the
passengers money and valuables
could be opened. All her passengers
and crew were taken aboard the Far
ragut.
Captain Robertson and Chief Of
ficer George W. Nordstrom were in
charge. She went down in 80 ia
thoms of water. The two men made
precise reckoning of her position
Captain Robertson has since dice,
but Nordstrom, now captain, has
the necessary data, and he was one
of those who showed off this after
noon in the little Ripple.
In 1916 an effort was made to salv
age the treasure of the Merida
Percy Rockefeller and James A. Still
man were back of this, it was said
but the attempt failed because of
heavy weather for one reason, and,
for another, because the treasure
tiers did not have the exact
location.

Girl Bound And Robbed in
Boardwalk Hotel

Atlantic City, Aug. 3O.-lnterrupt-
ed while dressing for dinner by two
men. masked and armed with revoIyv-
ers, who entered her room in board
ak hotel here, Miss Ana knoebe, OF
Philadelphia, was gagged and bound
and robbed of jewelry valued at near
" $4,000 last night. :,
Despite the precautions OF the motel
authorities and the police the robbery
became known today. Miss knoehe'
at police headquarters, viewed a line
up of prisoners and the Rogues Gal
lerv. but was unable to pick out her
assailants. =
Miss Knoehe was found bundled
under the covers of the bed in her
room, where she was placed By the
robbers to prevent her from giving an
alarm. Search of her bureau dis
closed that the robbers had stolen all
the jcwc!ry she brought here on her
vacation.
DESPITE their rude intrusion, the
robbers were unusually polite in the
way they went about their business.
Although she pleaded through her
gag that they release her, the rob-
bers refused, but they assured her
again and again that they did not
like to treat her in this unseemly
manner.
1--WE can't help it, lady. It's gotta
be done. An if we let you loose
you'll yell. And that wouldn't do at
all. at ALL" they told her.
Lifting her gently, they carried her
to the bed and there piled the blan-
kets high over her. Quickly they
searched her clothes and the bureau
and dressing table; then quietly de-
parted.
Half an hour later a girl compan-
ion knocked at Miss Knoehe's door,
found it unlocked, opened it and en-
tered The alarm was quickly given,
but the robbers had escaped.

Boston, Aug. 31.-The mysterious

he will undertake to feed Boston's un-

en- an eight-year lease on large

Senator Smoot Preparing
Bill In Place of House
Measure.
WELLS OF REVENUE
Incomes, Tariffs, Tobacco, Estates,
Manufactures, Corporations Listed.
Other Sources Noted.

Washington, Aug. 30.-A new basis
of taxation to take the place of the
House Revenue measure and prat
tically all present tax laws was pro-
posed today by Senator Smoot, Re-
publican, Utah, who announced he
was preparing bill embodying the
plan, which he estimated would yield
So, ,S95, 100000 this year. He added
that he would take the question up
with the Senate Finance Committee
when it begins consideration of rev.
enue questions Thursday.
The use of only six sources of taxa
ton, including a tax on manufactur-
ing sales instead of the more than
80 now on the statute books was ad-
vocated by Senator Smoot. The six
wells from which the Utah Senator
proposed to pump revenue and the
amounts which he estimated each
would yield annually follow:
Income taxes (maXimum rate Of
80 per cent?, $S30,000,0O0.
Ten per cent tax on net corpora
tion profits, $445,000,000.
Tobacco taxes (present rates),
$255, 100000.
Estate taxes, S150,000,000.
Manufacturers sales tax Is per
cent?, S1,200,000,000.
Import taxes (tariff), $500 000,-
900.
While the six sources would pro-
duce only 280,000,000. Mr.. Smoot
estimated that the other $615,000,-
900 would be obtained from collection
of unpaid taxes, receipts from war
salvage and the old tax on with
drawals of liquor from bonded ware
houses. Unpaid taxes, he figured,
should add $340,000,000 to this years
revenue, war salvage receipts should
be around $200,000,000 and the liquor
tax should produce another S75,-
100000
The $3,S95 100000 anticipated as
the laws yield will exceed the Gov
ernment commitments at present by
$l34, 700, 900, according to Mr.. Smoot.
One of the arguments which Mr..
Smoot said could be made in favor
of his program was its simplicity.
Anybody can make out his tax re-
turns" if Congress adopts his sue-
gestion. he said, adding that it would
result in a saving of perhans S25.-
100000 in the collections and would
do away with about two-thirds of the
employees in the revenue service.
