Treasure Trove Found
in Cellar of House
in Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Mr., March Is.
Police are guarding a house
at 318 North Pine street, where
excavators uncovered several
hundred dollars in gold and sill
yer coins while digging in the
cellar.
The police guard was posted
to prevent eager "gold-diggers"
from digging away the founda-
ton. The house, now vacant,
was occupied in pre-civil war
days by a wealthy German
family. The treasure was
buried then, it was indicated by
dates on the coins.
News Of the discovery spread
like wildfire, and in a few mo-
ments hundreds of negroes
gathered and plunged into the
house, seeking to share in the
find. Police soon arrived and
put a stop to unauthorized gold
digging, but not until the hoard
had been cleaned out.

Unhappy Lot OF Nom Voter

A citizen who does not register

position in a discussion over the
conduct of governmental affairs
as a soap box orator who ha-

way a business man should
handle his trade. Neither has
acquired any interest in the busi-
ness he attempts to critioise and
the people in charge of affairs
are under no obligation to listen
to him. Those who wish to take

have until August l9 to register
for the September primaries.
There still will be limited time

1t takes less than five minutes
