STRIKE IS OFF BUT ISSUES ARE
 NOT SETTLED
Executives Will Press Re- quest for Another Reduc- ton in Wages--Union Men Undisturbed.

| Chicago, Oct. 29.-Peace reigns in railway circles, but the issues which threatened war are yet to be disposed of.
 The rail strike scheduled to start Sunday was called off shortly be- fore midnight Thursday. Less than |12 hours later, however. railroad executives declared their intention : to press the 10 per cent additional wage reduction proposal which, add cd to other grievances provoked the walkout order.
 "Our program for the immediate future as announced October 14, re- mains unchanged" said Samuel M. Felton, president of the Chicago Great Western Railway and chair man of the Western Railroad execu- l tives Committee. "Only a further reduction of wages will restore pros perity"
 l MT. Feltons statements were echoed by Samuel Dunn, editor of Railway Age, who in an address at a luncheon of the local railroad executives declared that the "un- ions action settles only one thing that there will be no strike"
 "It does not settle the question of further wage reductions or rate reductions" he continued.
 "The roads are going right ahead with the plans to get further pay cuts and thus reduce rates. But if the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion reduces rates and the Labor Board refuses to reduce wages the roads will be ill a disastrous condi- jtion."
 But the plans of the railroads as thus revealed apparently were nc surprise to the heads of the "bie five" brotherhoods. They said they had expected such announcements but were resting easy in what they believed to be assurance from the United States Railroad Labor Board that no action will be taken foi some time. The pledge of railway executives not to move without au- Ithority of the board added to the sense of security, the union chiei said.
 w. G. Lee, president of the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen and lchief among the brotherhood leaders as proponent of peace, said last night:
 ''So far as I am concerned, when II addressed the joint meeting oi brotherhood general chairmen Thurs day night and urged adoption of the resolution declaring the strike off I acted with full knowledge of what the future attitude of the railway executives would be.
 "Of course they will continue tc ask for the 10 per cent wage reduc- tion. We expect that, but MT Hooper in the statement issued Tues day night said the Labor Board docket of cases is crowded and that there was no danger of immediate action. This assurance was suffi- cient to avert a threatened calamity; the same assurance is adequate Inow."

CAPTAIN KIDD
 MONEY HUNT
 IS COMMENCED
Thirty Million Dollars in Gold and Silver Sought in Mine Shaft-Left by Spaniards.

(By International News SerVlce) Durango, Colo, Oct. 29.-With a veritable Captain Kidd" treasure as their objective, two old-time residents of the "San Juan country" have started operations near Treas ure Peak, in the San Juan noun tain range, thirty-five miles north east of this city, in an effort to locate hoard of gold and silver estimated to be valued at upward of $50, ,000,000.
 William Barker and Charles Lee, both of Lake City, Colo, believe they have discovered long-lost mine shaft that will lead to the un- earthing of an enormous treasure hidden by band of Spaniards sev- eral centuries ago.
 l According to the romantic story handed down from generation to generation in this region, Spanish fortune hunters, harassed by savage Indians, after the former had se- cured large quantities of gold and silver by placer mining operations l in the mountain streams, concealed their riches in the heart of Treasure Peak and fled.
 | Numerous unsuccessful attempts have been made to locate the hidden believe that the mine-shaft leading to the cache used by the Spaniards has been discovered.
 At the bottom of this shaft, Lee said, i've found stone tablet which gave a complete description of the location of the treasure. The description is in Spanish and states that three tunnels and two walls must be pierced before the treasure is found It gives the distance Of each of the tunnels and the thick ness of the walls. In addition, it as serts that a bottle containing fur ther descrpitions of the location will be found at the base of one o1 the walls.
 "The tablet places the amount ol the treasure secreted at 3,516 bars It does not say whether they are gold or silver, but we believe they represent both of these valuable metals. The size of the bars also i! given.
 Because of a rock-slide," Let continued, ''the treasure, according
 to the directions given in the tablet
 will be two hundred feet below thu
 original location, which was giveI
 as many feet under ground.
 ''The tablet also mentions somt Ideath-traps in the shaft, and WI
 ere using every precaution in dig lging for the treasure. We have al
 ready found one of the tunnels
 but nothing was revealed that would
 indicate the exact location of tn . treasure. However, the bottle men
 toned in the description on the tab let is not supposed to be at tn
 base of the wall at the end of tn
 first tunnel, but is believed to b. at the base of the wall at the enC
 of the second tunnel.
 "We are progressing rapidly ant expect to spend two months reachin,
 the location mentioned in the tablet
 We are confident that one of tn greatest hidden treasures in tn
 world is secreted in Treasure Peak
 and the finding of the tablet in tn shaft convinces us that we are ol the right track

account of his hopeless infatuation for an actress much older than him. self
 They were written to his parents, an artistic Belgian couple, resident in Brussels. Paul, boy of sensitive and somewhat morbid disposition, old for his years, was studying in England for a commercial career. He became acquainted with the girl, who was acting in a touring company. Completely obsessed with her, although she did everything to discourage him, he became inn bued with the idea of becoming an actor in order to be near her. In this he was unsuccessful, and the following letter, written just before his tragic end, exemplifies his state of mind:
 My dear Mamma and my dear Papa:-
 "This time is the last I write you, dDu WllCIl yOu lOdu tllC biNS follow your poor Paul will be dead.
 But before I die I wish to have good time for the last week. Any one condemned to die has right l. to a last kindness.
 "In borrowing from friends ] have furnished myself with ninety six shillings. My watch and chain, pawned, have added ten shillings; I have sold my green suit and my overcoat. That makes forty shillings more, and 1 have sold, for about thirty shillings, some old clothes, shirts and shoes I had, therefore, total of 176 shillings to spend.
 ''Then l went up to see -, thinking to marry her, and, all though that was not to be, I fell more madly in love with her than ever and I think she liked me, too because she never asked me fol money.
 "She was just sweetness itself and she began to chide me for be- 1 ing silly. l pretended to her that I was rich and offered to give heI a car, but she would not hear oi such a thing. AS regards the mon l ey, 1 spent it in two luncheons taxis and bouquets, and this last week of life has been ray of sun shine, in the brilliancy of which have for an instant forgotten everything.
 ''Then on Sunday she went away and I have fallen back into the real !ity-into the horrible reality; and it only remains for me to die.
 After I had said goodby I went indoors and fell on my bed, where I lay for an hour.
 'I cried and I suffered, stifling my sobs in my pillow, kissing hel photograph and eating the last flower that she gave me, breathing a little of the perfume that remain ed to me.
 By turns ideas and remembrance'
 came to me. Remembrances O
 home and of you, my two poor olt people. Then the remembrances O her in certain manner that sht
 had of looking at me and saying
 You silly little baby boy!'
 All is past, and I have passed ,, the whole day in sorrow, although
 master of myself-laughing, cry ing; and I can assure you I fee very well but for the little anxiet,
 about the unknown, which agitate me and makes me feverish. Beside me is the cord with whic1

HONEST JOHN
Lind INTRODUCES
GOVERNOR FRAZER
Mmnesota's First Democratic Gov
ernor, Pays Tribute to Nonpartisan
League-Sells $4,000 Worth of n.
D. Bonds.

Minneapolis, Minn.-A subscription
of $4,000 worth of bonds was one of
the results of a little meeting here Of
200 people to boost the sale Of North
Dakota state bonds.
Governor Frazier made his usually
splendid speech in behalf of the
cause he represents by virtue of the
majority of the votes of his state.
He explained how in seven state
wide elections North Dakota people
had indorsed the League program
and how a minority which had once
held power for themselves had resist
ed this majority by every possible
means, false reports to hurt the cred
it Of the state being one Of the means
used.
He also pointed out how this oppo-
sition of q minority continued with
even greater bitterness after the Su-
preme Court of the United States had
given unanimous approval Of North
Dakota's industrial legislation.
SENATOR LADD PRESENT
Senator F.. F. Ladd who happened to
be going through Minneapolis on the
day Of the meeting, was prevailed up
on to be present He outlined the
history Of the agricultural group
formed in congress recently to watch
legislation. He prophesied a revival
Of the sales tax propaganda.
But the part which affected the
writer most was short speech by
Ex-Governor John Lind in introducing
Governor Frazier. Now past sixty
seven and evidently having some ply.
steal difficulty in speaking, the ex-
governor had to speak slowly and he
spoke as prophet.
