LOCKWOOD WITHERS
CRAIG TRANSIT BLAST
Declares Comptroller Has No
Positive Plans for Remedies.

State Senator Charles c. Lockwood.
Republican, Coalition candidate for
Comptroller. declared last niGht that
Comptroller Charles L. Craig's position
on the transit plan offered no solution
OF the problem; quite the contrary. It
encouraged delay and litigation. He Sc
verely attacked the Comptroller in re-
ferring to the latter's statement In re-
gard to traction published in the morn
ing papers.
II voted against the transit bills at
Albany" said Senator Lockwood. "and
I object tc a sliding scale of fare. be-
lieve in a permanent five cent fare, In
accordance with the contract Of the COM
panies with the city. There was received
by the city in that contract very little
more than five cent fare agreement
II am opposed to the transit plan In
its present form. The city has invested
more than 5000. 100000. The arrears Of
taxes owed by the companies, amounting
to about s13,000.000. should not be can
called but should be paid. The claims
of those who suffered personal injuries

humanity. as well as to law and duty"
The city must have it's say as to
which roads should be accepted or re-
jected. The city must have --aper rep
resentation on all boards controlling the
operating lines, as well as the holding
companies. 1t should likewise have able
representation in any proceedings for
fixing the valuations and the right Of
appeal to the courts from the decisions
Of the commission on that subject
"The commission has given this sub
ject intelligent and thoughtful study and
invites constructive suggestions from all
citizens. Hence some of mine are given.

TEN MILLIONS IN GOLD HELD
 BY THE OCEAN
Only Half of Valuable Metal Lost in Shipwrcck Off Irish Coast Is Salveged by Divers.
(By International News Service)

l (By International News Service) 1 London, Oct. 29.-After her fourth year of effort to salvage the $20.- { 100000 of gold lost in the liner 1 iLaurentic, the Racer has been laid up until next April, when she will resume operations.
 It was on January 23. 1917, that | the Laurentic, a magnificent auIil- iary cruiser, struck none and sank in Lough Swilly, off one of the widest parts of the west coast of Ireland, in over twenty fathoms 1 of water.
 Tho same summer salvage opera tions were started on her. But there was great initial difficulty on account of the swift sitting uI of the sand. Only by luck was the wreck found at all--two divers came across a mound of sand, and 1 by metal protruding. The mound not much more than ten feet high but covering some hundreds of | 1 It became necessary to place rings of explosives on the exposed plates and cut out section, ex. posing girders and more plates be How, and these in turn had to be icut through by dynamite until the layer containing the gold was reach. ed So great had the pressure oi the sand been, however, that the strong room, previously about twelve feet high, had been pressed out to the height of few inches and the ingots, in consequence, scatter ed over a very wide area.
 | However, by the fall of 1920 over $5,0OO,00o in gold had been recover 4 ed and nearly as much again during the present summer has been trans ferred from the depths of the Allan tic to the vaults of the Bank o England.
 Whether it will be possible to re mer is a matter for doubt. Foul years at the mercy of the Atlantic rollers have reduced her to scraI iron, and it is difficult to tell tho stern from the bow. The accumula tion of sand has also become ar increasingly difficult proposition Only by the installation of three powerful pumps, each capable ol sucking up sand at the rate oi one ton per second, has it beer possible to proceed with the worl at all.
 But if the total sum can be TO gained from this twisted heap oI iron it will constitute the greates piece of salvage work ever known.

Little Rock, Oct. 29.--- Governor McRae yesterday afternoon announce cd that he would call special cleo tions in the second judicial circuit and Lee county for circuit judge and sheriff respectively.
 Judge V. s. Nicely resigned on ac- count of his health after he had been appointed to fill the vacancy. Tho office was then tcndered to former governor J. M. Futrell of Paragould who declined. Last Thursday meeting of several mem- bers of the bar was held at Jones' boro and w. w. Randy was recon mendsd for the position. Governor McRae announced that no tempo rary appointment would be made pending the election. He has noti- fled the political committees of the district that he will give them suf- ficient time to make nominations If they desire, and will later de- termine the date of the election The governor, however, saw fit tc ests blish a precedent in his appoint ment of Judge Nicely to succeed Judge Dudley.
 When Arthur Cotter, sheriff ol Lee county, died some months ago Governor McRae appointed Fred Cal loway to fill the office during tax collecting season, with the under standing that he would call spe- cial election later so that the peo- pie might have voice in the se- lection of sheriff. The date of the election will depend upon the wishes of tho political organizations of the county.
