was sung by the pirates and bucca-
necrs in the Caribbean in the late
Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries
Dead Mans Chcs is an island in
the Virgins which has now lost its
identity in the new Iame Dead Chest
Island" Here the pirates were in the
habit of repairing to careen their ships
and stretch their legs, and naturally it
was an ideal occasion for songs which
flavor
Curiously enough, there is a little
church ON the Gillian coast which is
obviously built of ship timbers, and
recently an enthusiast waiting for a
coasting steamer bethought him that
If the building came from a ship the
bell probably did as well. A climb
among the rafters did not reveal the
name of the ship, as he hoped, but,
sure enough, round the edge of the
bell were the words, "Fifteen men on
the dead mans chest" All that the
priest could tell him was that the
church bell came from a ship that was
wrecked in 1922, which was Just the
time that the West Indies were getting
rather hot for the pirates, and many
were being driven into the Pacific.

LOS ANGELES, September IL
AS the vast solar laboratory into
which Southern California has been
converted for the purpose of view
ing the eclipse, broke up today, sci
entists tailed the results of their
tireless efforts and the expenditure
of thousands of dollars.
While admitting that the fog
bound eclipse prevented them from
obtaining any worth while photo
graphic results, with the possible
exception of pictures taken by
aviators flying four miles high may
have obtained, the following i'm
portant observations were made:
/. A display of rosy colored hy-
drogen gas was recorded by Prof.
S. A. Mitchell of the University of
Virginia, stationed at Lakeside.
2. An interesting demonstration
of the effect of the sun on the
earth IS magnetic conditions, which
may have an important bearing on
future charts and compass work,
was made by Captain Aut of the
Carnegie Institute of Washington.
During totality he noticed distinct
dip in the magnetic needle and
found that the electrical conduct
ivity of the air decreased ten per
cent.
3. Scientific calculations of the
time of the eclipse made years. ago
were one second off, the moon OBJ
securing the sun one second before
the appointed time.
While discouraging reports came
in from nearly all the scientific
parties that remained on terra
firme, there are still hopes that
when the films taken by army
aviators are developed, some val
liable pietues of the sun in eclipse
will result.
Fifteen planes took the air at
various points along the line of
totality and nearly all reported that
they had obtained photographs
which should prove excellent.
Lieutenant Macready, famous as
a transcontinental flyer, reported,
however, that his trip over Lower
California was failure, saying that
the fog was thick at $4,000 feet

Well Known Man
Dies Suddenly

The many business acquaintances
andfriends of j. Warren Smith, see
retary of the Home Investment
Company of Redlands, will doubt
less be shocked to learn of his
death which occurred at his home
in Redlands on Sunday.
Mr.. Smith, who for the past -
years has been coming to Imperial
Valley on business connected with
his firms extensive interests here,
arrived in this city last Thursday.
On Saturday morning, as he was not
feeling well, he was put on the noon
train by George A. Carter, local rep
resentative of the Home Investment
Company. At that time he informed
Mr.. Carter that he would be "all
right
However, he became worse on the
train, and was taken off at Cotton
in an unconscious condition, and
conveyed to his home by ambulance.
During the night his condition be-
came critical and he died the fol-
lowing morning without regaining
consciousness.
Mr.. Smith had made a life work
of the Nhome building association
problem, and was considered an au-
thority in his line. He had at var
ious times held numerous offices in
state and national associations of
building and loan associations. His
work carried him frequently to I'M
perial Valley, so his sudden death
will be as much regretted here as
if he had been one of our own cit
liens.
Mr.. Smith is ,uryived by his
widow and one son, Douglas, who
lives in Los Angeles.

on the success of covert negotia-
tions participated in by Berlin,
Paris and London, which, according
to information furnished govern
ment officials days ago, were TO be-
gin September 10. United Press
dispatches yesterday and today con
firmed the fact that such negotia-
tions did begin on that date.
p Two Steps Before U. S.
If these negotiations bring about
an accord among Germany, France,
Great Britain and Italy on the
main points of reparations agree
ment, the United States is to be in
vited to take two steps.
l. Provide financial assistance
for Germany.
2. Modify war debt claims
against the allies.
If the United States government
should decline, it will be charged
with responsibility for indefinitely
delaying settlement of the econ
omic problem which is keeping the
world in turmoil
The conversations now beginning
in Europe will continue for ten
days or two weeks, according to
information reaching here and are
an attempt to fix basis of a more
formal conference. A little later
Poincare, Baldwin and Curzon, Mus
solini and Theunis are to come to-
gether in Paris, when the British
are expected to outline new con
cessions they are prepared to grant
France on the French war debt,
providing Americah consent to mod
ification of the British war debt
can be had. Poincare in return, is
expected to state his willingness to
relinquislt frances grip on the
Ruhr, providing American assist
ance to Germany can be had.
Germany To Cooperate
Germany, in the meantime, will
have admitted the folly and failure
of passive resistance and readiness
to cooperate honestly in settle
ment.
If those things occur as expect
ed, the invitation to the United
States to enter the discussions is
likely to follow.
1t would then be suggested that
the United States provide credits
for Germany and that a means of
furthering stabilizing world condi-
tions, this government consent to
reopen the British debt funding
agreement to permit modification
that would have the net result of
reducing the British debt to this
government to a sum exactly equiv
alent to Great Britain's share in
German reparations. This would
mean considerable reduction of
the sum Great Britain is to pay the
United States.
Further, the United States would
be asked not to agree to collection
of the French or Italian debts, for
the present"
The principal obstacle to. this
program is the unwillingness Of a
large and influential section of
British officialdom to consider for
moment any plan that makes pay
ment of the British debt to Ameri-
ca appear to be dependent on col
lection Of German reparations. The
British government is being vigor-
ously urged to make it clear to the
world that no matter what happens
on reparations, the British debt
funding pact with the United States
will stand.
