TENANT FINDS BURIED MONEY
An6 Now a Court Must Pick the Owner
At Treasure Discovered Hid
den In JaFa.

Runors Of the finding Of a great
treasure In the old Holland house here
have been confirmed by the filing Of
suit In the Fayette county circuit
court By the administrators Of the Hol-
land estate against o dozen defend
ants alleged TO have shared In the d.
vision Of the treasure, which amount
ed to 21,00n, says q dispatch from
Nuttallburg, ". Va, to the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. Attachments were served
on 50 banks In the surrounding sec
ton, where the money Is believed to
have been deposited
The story Of the treasure reads like
romance, In the sixties William Hol-
land veteran Of the Crimean war, came
to this country from England and set
tied In the Pennsylvania coal fields, Ii
16T2 he came to Kenney's creek and
begnn the development OF @ kiln, He
built home here IN 1885, where he
resided until his death In 1918
he was an eccentric character, and
none Of his family knew of his habit
Of hiding money. He died suddenly
Of heart failure. After Hollands
death the home passed into the hands
Of William Nelson, superintendent Of
the coal company, who began repairs
and reconstruction. The gold was
fund In different jars at different
times.

Shuts Out Sound.

Parsons who wish to concentrate
their attention upon studies, business
matters or what not, often find them
selves most annoyingly distracted by
noises OF one kind or another. Street
traffic may be disturbing; the crying
Of baby may irritate, or perhaps the
yowhng Of cats on a back fence Or
the persistent footing Of cornet In
the neighborhood may induce exasper-
alton.
To obyiate this sort OF trouble, Ga.
bino Janregul of Bridgeport, Conn,
has devised what he calls the ''ear Sd
lepcer.n
1t Is frame of light construction
which may be fixed upon the head In
such a way that two screws carrying
soft rubber plugs on their ends are In.
serted into the ears
When this adjustment has been
made exactly right the two screws that
carry the rubber plugs enter the wear
er's ears horizontally and have only
to be frightened sufficiently in order to
ut snugly and exclude all troublesome
sounds,

The Navipendulum.

One of the problems which naval
architects have to confront Is the roll
ing Of ship on the waves, and the
'navipendulum" is an invention for
dealing with 1t experimentally.
The apparatus consists Of two
parts: A plate to which q motion cor
responding to that Of q portion Of the
surface of wave is impaired, and a
pendulum Of = peculiar shape which
rolls upon the moving plate in the man

The same pendulum can be made
to represent different vessels Of given
size and shape by adding or removing
artificial resistance to the oscillatory
motion.

Sim Fein Drafting
Reply to England
in Secret Session
BY international News Service.

DUBLIN, Aug. 23.-The formal re.
ply OF the Sim Fem TO the English
peace proposals probably will not be
forwarded TO London until Saturday,
II was learned here this afternoon.
The Irish convention. composed of
local Sim Fem leaders from all parts
OF Ireland and representing business
and clerical views as well as political,
was in secret session debating the
peace situation.
Whether or not the Sim Fein cabi-
net has yet drawn up the draft OF the
reply to Premier Lloyd-George is not
known. None of the Sim Fein Off
Gals would discuss the matter either
privately or for publication.
There was an air of optimism in
Dublin, especially in press circles. 1t
was understood that canon de Valera
was in negotiation with a high per-
sonage who heretofore has not been
connected with the peace proceedings.

Interna tlonal News Service.

Labor leaders today warned that the
country faces the prospect of an i'm.
mediate tie-up Of transportation. either
organized or outlaw"
so precarious is the situation that
the railroad union executives have tel
egraphed to every railroad point urg-
ing the men TO take no hasty action
but to "sit tight" until their officials
have conferred and acted under the
laws of their respective unions.
Unions Feel Defeat.
Contrary TO general opinion, the re-
cent decision of the Railroad Labor
Board on overtime and working hours
Ia regarded as no victory by the
unions.
The shopcrafts. directly affected
by the decision have been officially
notified that IT is adverse"
The Pennsylvania railroad, accord
ing to information in the hands Of
labor officials here, will notify the
Labor Board Thursday that it cam
not comply with the boards orders to
call a new election of representatives
of the workers TO negotiate a new
working agreement. Thursday is tho
last day Of grace granted the COM
pany.
Outlaw" Strike Predicted.
The temper of the men on the Penn
sylvania system is such that an out
law strike is predicted unless imme-
date action authorizing an official
strike is taken by the union officials.
Railroad union executives of the
American Federation of Labor are
said now 10 be comforting in Chicago.
AS the conservative labor officials
here view the situation, the momen-
tous crisis in the gigantic struggle be-
tween the railroad workers and the
railroads has Gomez and the railroad
union executives face one of two alter
natives-authoriZing a strike or losing
the prestige OF their unions.
