One day. however. there was a social up- lTeaval and the lawless element was ex- pelled by force into the mountains. Then the new era began and since that time the town has been highly prosperous.

BERGDOLL ESCAPED WHILE
HUNTING FOR POT OF COLL

Washington, May 4.-Major Gen
eral Peter c. Harris, adjutant gen
eral of the army, told a house in
vestigating committee yesterday
that he alone was responsible for
the release under guard of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, convicted draft
dodger, to go out secretly and hunt
for a pot of buried gold in the
mountains of West Virginia.
Bergdol1 was permitted to start on
the golden chase, but never return
ed, escaping at Philadelphia, where
he had stopped over on his way from
Fort Jay, N. Y, to the mountains,
to visit his mother, now awaiting g
sentence for conspiracy to aid him
in evading the draft.
It was on the plea of Samuel T.
Ansell, formerly acting adjutant gen
eral of the army, General Harris tes-
titled, that the prisoner was let out.
The general said he had been as
sured by Mr.. Ansell, attorney for
Bergdo1l, that the story of the hid
den treasure was true, and that he
would be sent back to Fort Jay as
soon as he had climbed the hills for
his gold.

STEEL WORKERS GET
TWENTY PER CENT CUT

New York, May "A reduction
of about 20 per cent in wages for day
labor, effective May 16, and an
equitable adjustment of other rates,
including salaries, at the plants of
the United States Steel corporation,
was announced by Ebert H. Gary,
chairman of the corporation board
of directors. 1t is estimated that be-
tween 10000 and 175,O0O employees
of the corporation will be affected by
the cut.
During 1920 the average daily
wage of employees was $500 as
against $612 in 1919, according to
corporation figures. Total salaries and
wages disbursed by the steel corpor-
alton in 1920. when the total num-
ber of employees was $1,000 aggre-
gated $5S1,556,925.
On the basis of the reduction an
nounced today corporation officials
estimated the average cut in wages
at approximately $1.40 per day per
man. Roughly, this will affect a re-
duction in the payroll, calculated on
the present number of employees, of
not less than $15O,O0O,OOO annually.

London, May 4.-The Allied gov

separated today by members of the
reparation commission in two parts.
One of these is purely legal while the

in the interest of rates on bonds.
1t is not possible to determine yet
precisely yet what specifications will
be presented to Germany but accord
ing to the present plans the commiss-

strictly in compliance with the peace
treaty while simultaneously will be
sent another part of the plan as a
of the treaty favorable
to Germany and which she can accept
or not.
The commission states that what
was being studied now are questions
of form rather than of essentials.

Charlotte, May 4.-The attitude of
the cotton manufacturers of North

strike of operatives is said to be
one of concern. The mills have been
running for several months for the
purpose of keeping the organization
together and not because it was nee
essary to take care of orders received.

Charlotte, offered no new develop
ments from the stand point of the

BRINGS UP DEBT OF
SOUTHERN STATES

London, May 4-The United
States will be called upon to assume
responsibility for the repudiated
debts of eight southern states when
the question of settlement of Eng
lands debt to her is adjusted, accord
ing to an article on the financial page
of the Morning Post.
The aggregate of such debts of
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina is estimated
at $60,00O,000 by the unsigned
writer who evidently is a financial
expert and who is laboring under the
delusion that the United States
'tseems disposed to imagine we have
some ingenious schemes of evading
our financial responsibility by get
ting out on the backs of our allies,
or of Germany, by some kind of a
pooling of debts.''
The writer, whose article is pub
lished without comment by the Post,
regrets that the question of all debts
was not settled or at best more thor
oughly ventilated at the peace con-
ference instead of devoting so much
time to discussing Mr.. Wilson's pet
project of a league of nations" He
summarizes his conception of the
American viewpoint of the debt thus
continuing:
Americas views on the subject
of European Indebtedness to herself,
including ou own, are curiously di-
verse. One is the hard standpoint of
regarding such a debt as a business
transaction pure and simple, and
that it is useless to even consider the
expediency of granting credits to the
more necessitous countries until the
world knows the assets and 1iabili-
ties of the continent-in other
words Europe for the time being
must work out her own salvation"
He then refers to the suggestion
that the United States purchase the
West Indies which 1--WE would not en-
tertain for one minute

BRITISH ADMIRALTY ORDERS
FOURTH SUMMERS WORK
ON THE LAITRENVIC

London, May 4.-Another attempt
miralty to recover the remainder of
is to be made this Summer by the Ad-
the bullion lost when the armed liner
Laurentic was mined and sunk off
the north Coast of Ireland in 1917.
The salvage vessel Racer, together
with the Canadian drifter No. 1, will
undertake the salvage work for the
fourth Summer.
The Laurentic went down in 20
fathoms (126 feet) of water four
miles off the coast of Donegal, carry
ing gold bars to the value of between
s1O,OOO,OOO and SIS, 100000.
Four years of pounding by At
lantic gales have reduced the wreck
to a shape1ess mass and each year
the work has been more difficult
Last Summer the divers found that
about 250 tons of hull and decl-
plates had settled on the strong room
where the gold was stored, breaking
it in. The result was that only about
$4,000 was recovered, compared
with $1,250,OO0 the previous year
After the Winter storms the divers
expect to find the wreckage covered
with gravel and silt which has to be
cleared away with pumps. Then the
steel plates and girdles must be cut
away.
The Racer is now equipped, in ad-
dition to every possible contrivance
for aiding divers, with ''recompress
ion chamber" a diver can reach the
bottom in half a minute, but after
prolonged immersion at 20 fathoms
below the surface, half an hour has
to be allowed for raising him, be-
cause if brought up too quickly he
is likely to collapse. The great pres
sure at 20 fathoms saturates the sys-
tenn with nitrogen gas, but in the re-
compression chamber the nitrogen
can be eliminated gradually.
