LOST VALLEY "THINGS"
PROVE TO BE ONLY BEARS
Explorers Penetrate Far Into
Siskiyou Mountain Section, But
Find Nothing Startling.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ETNA MILLS, Calf, August go
Reports crediting all sorts OF strange
things to lost valley" in the Siski-
you Mountains, on the northern boun-'
dairy of California. led DR.. Paul Cad
man, DR.. Warner Hoyt and Harvey
Miller Of Berkeley 10 explore the re-
gion. They found the valley n beau
tiful little plain, almost impenetra-
BILE, but there was nothing more star
Ting than the number and size Of the
bear tracks.
The three men went by motor as
far into the mountains as they could,
then took horses into the wild and
rugged Caribou and Sawtooth ranges.
The hidden valley lies between the
headwaters of the Trinity and Salmon
Rivers. Some distance before reach
ing it they had to leave their horses
and make their way on foot There
was no trail into the valley, which is
protected by sheer peaks at the head
of Thompsons Creek.
The explorers found a clear gem
like glacial lake at the upper end of
the chasm, with a lush-green meadow
at the lower end. There was a null
titude of the mud wallows sometimes
called bears bathtubs." Aside from
the profusion of bear tracks, there
was little to distinguish the valley
from others of similar design in the
Sawtooths.
1t is a country of glacial lakes and
waterfalls of vast heights.

DINER" OF '6OS CRUDE.
And Forerunner of Pullman Car
Was an Amusing Makeshift.

Edward r. Mitchell in Scribners Magazine.
In the early sixties the night ex-
press to Washington proceeded by
the old Camden and Amboy route,
with a long ferriage from Manhat-
tan at the start The train we took
at Amboy was de luxe in the novelty
of it's accommodations, for 1t boast
ed diner and sleeper. The diner
from heavy work on account of long
service in the transportation of
trunks, and bare as to its interior
except that it was furnished in the
middle with an oblong counter.
around the four sides of which the
patrons ate while seated on high
stools, as in some railway station
restaurant of the present day.
From the inside of the oblong the
viands were served by negro walters
in white jackets. If memory does
not betray me, the bill of fare of
the diner on the Washington express
of threescore years ago consisted
chiefly of oyster stew, pie, crullers
and coffee.
The sleeping car, regarded by all
passengers as the crowning achieve
ment of railway enterprise in the
way of provision for sumptuous
travel, presented on entrance the ap-
pearance <of an ordinary day coach.
That, indeed, is what it really was,
although it carried the germ of the
subsequent Pullman.
When the porter-or was it the
brakeman? up the berths, as
1 observed with astonished interest,
he turned over every alternate seat
back, dividing the car into a series
of compartments or near compart-
ments. Then in each section he fit
ted from seat to seat base of boards
thinly upholstered and arranged
thereupon the sheets, blankets and
pillows.
A slightly longer platform, similar
ly padded, rested on the backs of the
car seats and formed the upper
berth. Finally, the porter or brake
man hung around three sides of the
sections a fiimsy and dingy curtain
of some cotton stuff; and lowers and
uppers were ready for their occupy
ing snooZers.
The lesser height Of the lower berth
yielded rather cramped and stuffy
quarters, especially for a large body !;
the upper was therefore the preferred
location.

CAVERLY LAUNCHES.
STUDY OF EVIDENCE.
Leopold and Loeb Unwor-
Earlier Murder At
tempt Revealed.
Ry the Associated Press.

by tHe ASSOclAteQ freSS.
CHICAGO, August 3o.-Judge John
r. Caverly. arbiter Of the fate Of
Nathan Leopold, jr., and Richard
Loeb, murderers of Robert Franks,
has begun his consideration of the
hearing on which he will base his
sentence.
The retiring chief justice Of the
Cook County Criminal Courts. who
assumes a bench in the divorce
court after he disposes of the Franks
case, expects to complete his review
of the testimony early next week.
Then, in a secluded place, he will go
over his notes and prepare the writ
ten decision he will hand down Sep
tember 10.
Meanwhile the youths in the county
Jail appeared In the best OF spirits,
unperturbed by the publication Of a
story of an attempt by them in 1920
to drown H. X. Buchanan, young Chi
cago attorney, near Charlevoix, Mich.
Leopold told the story to the States
attorney after they confessed the
Franks killing and Buchanan testified
before the grand jury.
The youths believed Buchanan re-
sponsible for stories circulated about
them at the universities Of Chicago
and Michigan, and hoped he would
drown when a canoe which the three
occupied was overturned, according
to Leopold's statement.
Both spend their time reading,
Leopold, who is a linguist, devoting
part to studying the Polish language.
They also are members of indoor
base ball teams in a league composed
of prisoners.

SALVAGING OF LUSITANIA
REGARDED IMPROBABLE
Vessel Sunk by German Torpedo
in 1915 Likely Obliterated
by Weight of Sea.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 3o.-Chances are
that the Lusitania, sunk off the Irish
coast by German torpedo in May
1915, never will be raised, according
to David Masters, author of a book
which describes the wonders of SAL
wage.
The sheer weight of the sea. the
writer points out, quickly obliterates
mans handiwork, and the Lusitania
probably ceased to be ship years ago
1t is extremely likely that the tre-
mendous pressure to which she was
subjected at the de tn of 2SS feet
long ago crushed her fiat, he says.
The liners 20-ton safe, full of VAL
uables, wouldTbe strong enough, one
might think, to resist the pressure of
the sea, but even the chances of salv-
ing the safe alone from the liners
strong room do not appeal to the
writer as being worth the risk.
Scores of schemes have been pro-
pounded for salving the Lusitania An
American has proposed to use a sub
marine. which would fire torpedoes
through the hull. Each torpedo
fcient cables had been fired they
would be picked up on the other side,
brought to-: the surface. and the
wreck lifted from the depths Ex-
perts say this ingenious scheme is
simple in theory, but impracticable,
and that the Lusitania remains, and
is likely to remain, where she sunk
more than nine years ago.

MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS
BY HERBERT COREY.

NEW YORK.-Young collegians in
town have been talking harshly to their
tailors.
I'VE want wide pants" say the
collegians.
you can't have EN-" say the
tailors. "If that style ever gets
hold on as impressionable a people
as we are the entire universe will
laugh"
1t appears that New York tailors
are convinced that the American male
is a short-legged fat man. The lank,
wide shouldered, high cheek -boned
American is only to be found in
books, they say. The New York
breed is framed like a Welsh pony,
low and wide.
But wide pants win. Walter Ha-
gen, the golf expert, returned from
England the other day, and the trade
papers carried the news that English
tailors regarded him as a very well
dressed man, indeed.
HE had his clothes made in Amer
ica?" they asked 'Is-that-so%
Tie obvious reason why wide trou-
sers are fashionable in England and
male who gives any thought what
ever to his clothes playes outdoors

golf, bats tennis. So he has a loose,
muscular figure, and wide trousers
become him.

perhaps? A blind man on proverty-

ly a guitar and a mouth organ. His
tin cup filled with the pennies Of the
poor. Chorus girls in their work

elderly woman plastered with dia-
monds. A six-foot man in livery,
