SEEKING FOR

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 12.-Search for
sunken treasure amounting to So

bottom Of the ocean eleven years in
the wreck of the Ward line steam
ship Merida is vigorously going on at
a point sixty miles east of the vir-
ginia capes, where the Merida went
down after a collision with the Unit
ed Fruit Company's steamer Admiral
Farragut. Word has come from the
treasure hunters that they believe
they have located the wreck of the
sunken vessel and expect soon to
bring to the surface of the ocean the
gold. silver and precious stones which
had to be abandoned when the vessel
sunk.
The search for the treasure ships
wreck is being made from the steam
er Ripple, a disreputable looking old
craft. Looks don't amount to much
as far as salvage vessels go, however,
and aboard the Ripple is the best gear

twenty-five men. this ship carries
three Of the best known divers of the
country, all Of them able to work at
depths considerably in excess of the
200 feet in which the Merida is sup
posed to lie.
The search for the Merida's treas
ure is being financed by a group of
prominent New Workers. The Ripple
left New York on August 80, and has
been steadily dragging the bottom at
a point approximately sixty miles
east Of Cape Charles, where the Mer-
ida is supposed to have foundered.
When the Ripple commenced the
sweeping of the bottom at the posi-

A. B. W|TCHER INDICTED
FOR EMBEzzlEMENT

Arthur b. Witcher, many years
president Of the Ely National Rank
until recently mayor OF the city of
Ely. and within the past few years
mentioned as q possible Democratic
candidate for the Office Of Governor
OF Nevada, has been indicted by the
United States grand jury on charges
of embezzlement of bank funds and
Justification of reports to the comp
troller of currency Of the United
States, says the Carson News.
The indictment, which is a 2S-page
typewriter document. contains 16
counts, which are based on seven sep
arate financial transactions and three
reports made to the comptroller on
the condition of the bank, which wac
a membei of the Federal Reserve
bank Of San Francisco.
The last count charges that at the
close Of business, June 80, witcher
was indebted to the bank in the sum
of 15,099.46, covered by hcecks and
cash items, though when he on July
IA filed out the report to the Govern
ment he caused the entry to read
None"
Witcher left Ely several weeks ago,
1t is said, and is now supposed to be
in Mexico. The fact that he was in
financial difficulties two years ago
was known in certain circles, but no
newspaper publicity was given the
matter, and nc proceedings were in
stituted through fear of embarrassing
all banks In the eastern part of the
State. Conditions were not the best
in White Pine County at the time,
owing to labor differences in the cop
per camp causing a long period of in
activity and lack Of usual production
by the mines.
1t is stated that Witcher's affairs
became deeply involved through
transactions in mining property. He
severed his connection with the bank
about Is months ago.. Carson ac-
qu~aintances stated recently Mrs. Wit
cher sued for divorce and was grant
ed a decree two or three years ago.

Denver Officers Believe Morse In
 California City

DENVER, Aug. 2o.-Information from the postal authorities and police of Los Angeles tonight led local au- thorities to believe that Edwin F. Morse, Denver bank teller, charged with embezzlement of upwards of $75,o00, fled to Los Angeles rather than to Fl Paso.
 Los Angeles postal authorities said they had no record of delivering to Dr. George o. Morse. father of the teller. at Los Angeles. a package con- taining s1.o0o in bills and no record of any special delivery letter to the doctor. Police investigating were told by Dr. Morse. the information said. that the currency was delivered to him by a messenger and he had destroyed the original package, so he could not say whether it was received by mail.
 Officials here hold to the theory that young Morse was in Los Angeles at the time and sent the package to his father by special messenger.

O|L CONTAIN SEE EARLY SETTLEMENT
 IF MEXICO DISPUTE
rRepubliean A. P. Leased wirel

MEXICO CITY, Aug 2o.-Possible solution of the difficulties between Mexico and the United States rela- tive to article 27 of the constitution, which has to do with petroleum de- posits in Mexico, is seen by represen- tatives of oil companies here in the announcement that the supreme court intends to hold public hearings be- ginning Tuesday next on temporary injunction suits brought against the government by foreign oil companies. some of which have been pending since 1918.
 Various oil men stated today that if the courts decision is far reaching enough it doubtless would be ac- cepted as law of the land as indi- eating Mexicos judicial interpreta- ton of, controversial clauses of the famous article.
 It is understood that approximately 1S0 of the suits. most of them dating back to the Carranza regime, will be called up for hearing.
 The majority of them were brought after Carranza's decree was issued ordering all companies to manifest their holdings or make them subject to denouncement.
 Virtually all the foreign companies erfused to make manifests, resulting in almost 200 announcements against their properties. This precipitated numerous legal actions to determine the ownership of the properties.
 When President Obregon assumed power he prohibited the issuance ot new permits for drilling on denounced properties, which virtually rendered them useless One of the main points to be considered by the supreme court in it's anticipated decisions IS the matter of Announcements embrac- ing alleged confiscation.
 The supreme court has been con sfdering the suits for several weeks and recently held several conferences with President Obregon. There is no intimation of the courts intention whether 1t will pass strictly upon the immediate questions involved in the suits, or take advantage of the opportunity to lay down once for all, as the nations supreme legal body the governments attitude toward the alleged .confiscatory and retroactive aspects of article 27. Some of the oil men here frankly are dubious that the court will render decision o1 such a nature as to settle the ques- tions now in dispute.

To Merge Army And
 NaUy Departments
(Continued from Page One)


 and navy got along better under the single head than they had at any previous time. It seemed such an op- vious thing to .do-to give the entire performance under the big top. so to say-that professional military men commented on it favorably.
 Plan Considered Feasible
 Nothing was done in the United States, of course. Nothing could be done at the time. But during the campaign Mir. Harding declared him. self in favor of the plan of joining the two great departments of defense. Then the matter was allowed to die out. Until very recently there were people here in Washington who had forgotten that the suggestion had been made. There were few who be- lieved that 1t was feasible or that a serious attempt would be made to join the two departments Yet there is nothing more serious in the whole plan of government reorganization. and there is nothing more feasible in the conviction of its packers
 What are the arguments against the amalgamation? I asked of one of the men chiefly interested in It.
 Mostly social" sad he. The off, cers of the navy think that the of ficers of the army grade socially somewhere below a hedgehog" This was confirmed in a way by a very high officer of the army: Two Services at Odds
 "The navy has assumed a superior ity to the army that is wholly un- justified" said he. Tt has created a certain mutual antagonism that cer- tainly is destructive of the comrade- ship and understanding which should be felt between the two services. Duping the war. for example. the navy sometimes placed comparatively junior officers of the navy in the best
Arizona republican., 1921-08-21

Eeutenants you can find in a years ride. And they cost more than the second wife of an old man. Besides that maybe there won't be any other war. So he think that good idea would be-maybe-to enter into an arrangement with the large and elab crate shipping board we nov have oN our hands. and which had the larsesf and most elaborate and costliest fleet ever assembled under single tent. Maybe m time of war. the ship ping board could spare few of those steamers for transports Maybe it would be made 10 if it felt reluctant. Between times the steamers could earn a little. They would at least earn more than if either the army or navy were using them for parking space for junior officers.
 There are many more things that might be said about the proposed amalgamation of the army and navy and the creation of the new depart ment of national defense. But there is only one thing to be said about it that really counts:
