STATE GOVERNORS ARE ASKED BY
HARDING TO PROCLAIM OCTOBER
10TH AS FIRE PROTECTION DAY
tBY THE ASSOCIATED pKEss.)

Washington, Sept. 27.--State
governors were requested by Presi-
dent Harding in proclamation TO-
day to designate October 10. ami
versary of the Chicago fire. as fire
prevention day.
The proclamation follows:
Whereas, the United States suf-
fers through direction of fire an
annual loss of life estimated at
$4,000 human beings, most of
them women and children.
Whereas, in the face of the
worlds dire need for American
products our fire losses increased
during 1920 to over $500,000,000,
and during the previous five-year
period totaled $1.416,675,000. and,
Whereas, in addition forest
fires during the five years ended
with 1920, further reduced our
diminishing timber resources by
over $S5.000,000, and also threat
ering with aridity over 56,000,000
acres of hitherto productive wood
land, and.
Whereas, most of our fire losses
are due to carelessness and ignor-
ance and may be easily prevented
by increased care and education on
the part of the citizens:
Therefore, !. Warren G. Hard
ing, president of the United States,
do urge upon the governors to dcs-
ignate and set apart October 10,
anniversary of the Chicago fire,
as fire prevention day with these
principal objects in view, to-wit:
"To, request citizens of their
states to plan for that day and
period, through pulpit, through
forum and through the schools,
such instructive and educational
exercises as shall impress the pub
lie mind with the calamitous eff

z PERISH WHEN
NAVY SUBMARINE
GOES To BOTTOM
Sinking Occurs in San Pedro
Harbor; Divers Expect to.
Have the Vessel Raised
By Today.
(By The Associated Press. }

Los Angeles. Calf, Sept. az
Opening Of an inner torpedo door
while the outboard shutter was
opened and failure Of an interlock-
ing device to operate caused the
sinking last night Of the navy sub
marine Re-, with loss of two lives
in San Pedro harbor, it was Off
ci- lily announced at fleet head
quarters today.
j. L. Dreffein of San Pedro, was
drowned when thrown from the
coming tower of the sinking sub
marine and Frank o. Spaulsburg
Of Powers Lake, N. D., was trapped
in the engulfed craft. Both were
seamen of the re- crew.
Admiral T.. w. Eberle, COM
mander in chief of the Pacific
fleet, will return aboard the U. S. S.
New Mexico tomorrow from San
Diego and inaugurate a court in
quiry into the accident.
The sinking occurred while the
Rs was moored with eight other
submarines to the mother ship
Camden. That the sinking was
accelerated by thrush Of water
through opened vents and the con-
ming tower, also open due to the
excessive warmth here last night.
was the opinion expressed by Rear
Admiral II. o. Stickney, command
er of the Pacific fleet train. He
witnessed it from the deck of his
flagship the Cruiser Frederick
moored nearby.
Diving crews worked today on

LAND OFFICE To
TURN OVER HALF
MILLION DOLLARS
Fund to Be Given State
Treasurer for Benefit of
Common Schools and
State Institutions.

Santa Fe. Sept. 27.--The state
land office will shortly turn over
to the state treasurers office near
Iy $4,000 derived from oil leases
and held in escrow heretofore be-
cause of the pendency of suits at
tacking the leases, Assistant Land
Commissioner Fritz Muller stated
today.
This decision followed Attorney
General Harry S. Bowman's opin-
ion that the sum could be turned
over and made available for i'm
mediate use by the common
schools and state institutions, the
beneficiaries from the lands on
which the leases were granted. He
gave this opinion at the request of
the land office.
Bowman said the money vas for
the most part already earned be-
cause the greater part came from
first years rentals and the lessees
already had received all the ad-
vantages they could expect even
should the supreme court hold the
leases invalid in that they had
possession of the lands or drilling
for the period covered by the
rentals.
The attorney general added, In
his opinion, the money not earn
ed' but held UP pending the su-
preme courts decision also should
be turned over.

SET YOUR FACES
AGAINST EVILS,
VETERANS TOLD
= 4cks Against the Prin-
/cipIeS of Free Government
Must Be Combated, Says
G. A. R. Chief.
(By The Associated Press }

indianapolis, Sept. 27.-Every
insidious attack against the prin-
ciples of free government must be
fought off, Commander in Chief
w. A. Ketcham of the Grand Army
of the Republic. declared today in
an address at the formal opening
Of the fifty-fifth annual encamp-
ment. He told his comrades they
should "set their faces like flint
against all the evils that are
Observation-Disclosures, I. w. W.
ism, anarchism, Ku Klux Klan--
whatever their name may be--that
tend to throw a blight on the fair
name of the land that we saved
and still love-"
Commander Ketcham's address
marked the opening of the busi-
ness session. While the veterans
were meeting allied organizations
also began formal gatherings. The
sons of Veterans began their con-
Vention this afternoon, The aux
iliary of this organization also OPP
ened its meeting.
Mrs. Inez Jameson Bender, pres
ident of the Woman's Relief Corps,
in opening the session Of that body
suggested unification of the wo-
mems organizations affiliated with
the G. A. r.
While the various organizations
were meeting, the veterans also
found time to attend brigade and
regimental reunions.
As on previous days, the veter-
ans apparently found more plea
sure in the informal reunions with
their war time friends than in the
formal sessions.

RANCHMEN BELIEVE
THEY HAVE LOCATED
A BURIED TREASURE

Denver, Sept. 21-William Bark
er and Charlie Puma" Lee, ranch
men near Lake City. Colo, believe
they have located an enormous
treasure said to have been depos-
tied in a shaft in Treasure Peak
in the San Juan range by a band
of Spaniards and Frenchmen sew
eral hundred years ago, according
to an interview with tn men in to-
days Denver Post.
AT the bottom of the mine
shaft we found a tablet giving a
complete description of the loca-
tion of the treasure" Lee is quoted
as saying. Because of the rock
slides the men estimated the trea-
ture to be 200 or more feet beneath
the original location. According
to the Post interview the descrip-
tion is in Spanish and says that
three tunnels and two walls must
be pierced before the treasure is
found. The description tells the
distance of each of the tunnels and
the thickness of the walls. The
table, according to the interview,
says there are 1916 bars, but does
not say whether they are gold or
silver. The size Of the bars also
is given.
1--WE have pierced one OF the
tunnels" the interview quotes the
men saying, "but found no traces
OF the treasure"
The men will start excavation at
once, the story says and quotes
them as saying they expect it u
take two months to reach the spot
where the precious metal Is sup
posed to be buried.

BONDS,
VICTORY NOTES
ARE IN DEMAND
(By The Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 27.-Trading in
Liberty bonds and Victory notes
on the stock exchange today again
attained large proportions and
created several new high records
for the year, the chief feature be-
ing Victory Ans. These rose to
991z, but reacted with most ~ther
issues later. when realizing sales
caused moderate recessions.
Out OF total bond sales. roughly
estimated at 100000. the Lib
erty and Victory issues contribut-
ed rs per cent. Unusual activity
was shown by several Liberty 4 u S
but the Victory 4%s alone made
up about 80 per cent of the whole.
Demand for these securities again
proceeded. according to reports
from important financial institu-
tons, from insurance companies
and other large corporations. as
we'll as estates and rich individuals
in search of acceptable invest
ments.
From all accounts the liquida-
ton OF these bonds by small In
vestors has ceased.
An important element in the In
aifiry. FOR. these tripe Securities is
the relaxation of money rates. This
has released large amounts of idle
capital.
Low records for the various is
sues were established early this
year. The recovery to the highest
levels of this year this week ran
from about $2.75 to $5;15 per 500
bonds.

DOMESTIC LABOR IS
SCARCE IN new YORK

New York, Sept. 27.-Domestic
labor is so scarce in New York
that in thousands of homes, norm
ally well supplied with servants the
mistress is doing her own house,
keeping. Maids and buffers are
said by employment bureaus to
prefer being out of work to TAX
ing jobs at less than the high wage
scales prevailing last year.
OF many reasons advanced by
employment agencies for the fail
ufe OF servants and employers to
agree, one Of the most common is
that prospective maids seek work
only because. their husbands are
jobless and are refused places be-
cause prospective employers will
not consider APPLICANTS for tempo
rary positions.
Prevailing wage scales are said
by employment agencies to be:
Cooks, $50 to $40 a month: gem
eral houseworkers, $40 to $50
chambe.malds $50 to $50. Japa-
nese buffers command 800 to $12S
q month with board and lodging.
