HAGERSTOWN. Md, August 90
Lee Houser, reputed finder of the
treasure near the Brownsville Viewer
ton road last Thursday, has made
up his mind to- go to Washington
and was expected to leave for that
city today. where he will turn over
the mildewed bunch of notes to the
Treasury Department and seek to
have them exchanged for new cur
rency. The notes were found in the
tin which contained the gold and
are in such a condition that Houser
fears to handle them. He was told
that if he kept the roll intact, ex-
perts at the Treasury Department
would be able to see how much was
in the roll and would return the
like amount in gold currency
1t Is said that he reached the de-
cision after the visit of two depart
ment of Justice agents yesterday. 1t

spent the day in that section inter-

family had assured Houser that the

Houser found about $4,000 last
Thursday. He told the first person
who interviewed him last Friday be-
fore the public knew, that he had
found any treasure. Hhe then began
to read the papers and found that he
might have to give up the money.
He then denied that he had found
it, but refused to make the denial un-

declared.

Yamamoto's appointment, which was

The appointment of Yamamoto means
the reyamping of the entire cabinet
and doubtless many important
changes will be made. .s
The new premier's career is varied.
He formerly was a member of the
supreme military council and fought
on the imperial side in the war, of
restoration. He Is pioneer graduate
of the Naval Academy and visited
Europe and America in 1887 as a
member of the suite of. Vice Minister
of the Navy Kabayama. He also
visited England and America in 1907
as a member of the suite of Prince
Fushimi. He formed cabinet in
1913; succeeding Premier Katsura.
His cabinet fell in 1914.
Yamamoto was born in 1852 and is
a member of the old school Of poll
ticians who are out of tune with
the progressive generation which the
late Admiral Kato represented.
