Yesterday came another telephone
call informing the firm that the man
with the check was busy packing and
would send boy to cash the check and
assume responsibility.
Suspicious were aroused in the broker
age office by this time. and six detec-

about the Office. when boy appeared
with check later and received a spe-
cially prepared dummy package.
The boy walked a few PAGES from the
Office and handed the package to a man
who had patch over his left eye. The
man was Monnett. Both were arrested
and taken to police headquarters.
Monne.t exonerated the boy, stating
that he had been hired only to go to the
brokers Office. No charge was lodged
against Monnett, hut he was held as a
suspicious person for further question

The frenzied application of high
duties devised to increase the cost Of
living was carried a step further to-
day when the Senate, by vote OF 4s
to o5, passed the FordneyMcCumbe
tariff bill
Only three Republican Senators dis
played the courage to oppose the
measure. They were Senators Borah
Gdaho), who voted against the bilYr
Norris (Neb.). who was absent, but
whose opposition was announced, and
La Toilette (Wis). paired against it.
Ofsetting this, three Democrats
broke away from their party to sup
port the measure. They were Brous-
sard and Ransdell Ga.), who got very
high rates for their sugar producing
constituents. and kendrick (wyo),
who got the rates he wanted on wool.
The bill was ordered sent TO con-
ference to reconcile the changes made
by the Senate after the measure left
the House thirteen months ago. The
House program Is to send the meas
ure to conference on Tuesday. How
long IL will take TO obtain an agree

Searching for kentucky's
Long Lost Silver Mines

tn HE arrival of a party of Indians in
the mountains of Kentucky from
Oklahoma has revived hundred
and forty year search for the silver mines
discovered by John Swift in 1851. From
that time to 1863 Swift made number
of trips into that section of the country,
returning after each trip to his home in
North Carolina with a large quantity of
silver.
Swift. finally driven out of Kentucky
and killed by hostile Indians, left very
meager information regarding his jour
neys and the places where he had hid
den sums of money. The most minute
description is that contained in
memorandum which states that ION the
First of September, 1859, we left be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 dollars and
crowns on large creek running near
south course. Close to the spot we
marked our names (Swift, Jefferson,
Munday and others) on a beech tree
The New York herald., 1922-06-04

with compass, square and trowel. No
great distance from this place we left
SIS 900 of the same kind, marking three
or four trees with markers. Not far from
these we left the prize near a forked
white oak, and about three feet under
ground and laid two long stones across
it. marking several stones close about
it At the forks Of Sandy, close by the
fork, is small rock; 1t has spring in
one end of it, Between it and a small
branch we hid prize Under the ground;
It was valued at $4,000. We likewise
left $4,000 buried in the rocks OF the
rock house."
A few years ago a bar of pure silver
was found near a mill in Carter county.
Several years ago a party of Indians
visited Wolfe county and made its way
into the hills. The Indian tracks we're
followed to a small creek by the side
of which was deep excavation in which
a heavy body had rested. The Indians
later were seen carrying away heavy bags.
and from their talk 1t is believed they
found part of the Swift silver.
There are more than a hundred caves
in Carter county. In one of these
quantity Of tools and instruments was
discovered which led to the belief that
the mine was near one of these caves.
One band of Indians was reported to be
in possession Of map, but whether this
was the Swift map or not never was
known.
AS legend or fable is told to chill
dren. so the mothers of Kentucky tell
their children the story OF Swift's mine.
No word has been received from the
last party to go in quest of the treasure.

ment; the magic carpet to take its owner
de luxe to any destination in less time
than it takes to develop fiat feet in the

to heal all wounds and make well the
sick.
In these days of omniscient fappers
with fairy tales selling below par one
would hardly believe that the magic
apple, magic carpet and magic flute were
still with us.
Buff you will believe-the three
debutantes entered the race for that box
of bon-bons as fully equipped as the three
youths found themselves back in the days
when princesses were. 1t was only after
they had actively entered the ranks of
Camp Fire leaders that they discovered

OF course it is nothing unusual for
three fashionable young debutantes
to sit on the front steps of the
home of one of them and conspire in a
wager of box of chocolate bon-bons.
1t is, however, decidedly unusual for
such a frivolous incident to become the
guiding impulse, molding the careers of
three determined young debutantes. And
further, II is extraordinary that as the
result of that innocent gambling on the
front steps of a young woman's home
10000 other young women whose homes
are west of the Mississippi River should
be Joined together in a great organization
which is teaching them new ideals and
giving them new twist to their romantic
outlook upon life as it unfolds before the
young American girl of to-day And yet
that is just what has happened, because
Ruth and Grace Brown and Cecile Fran
cisco made bet four years ago of box
OF candy.
The wager might be regarded still as
undecided. yet two Of the young women
made mp their minds to forfeit their
claims and arbitrarily awarded 1t to the
third because-but that's a part of the
story.
The organization these three girls chose
was that of the Camp Fire Girls. All
three were attracted to it because of its
recognition of the need Of beauty and
worship in the life of the growing girl
All three saw in this ever spreading
movement chance to build up healthy
women. home makers and not home
breakers, girls who can use their heads az
