GEORGE SEXTON ANSWERS CHARGES
 DAN SUTHERLAND

A Gateway representative in an in- terview with George Sexton yesterday over the pamphlet recently published by Delegate Dan Sutherland in which the latter accused Mir. Sexton of collu- sion with Judge Thomas M. Reed of the First Division to obstruct the will of the voters of Alaska in naming a Republican committeeman, asked MT. Sexton what he had to say i'll reply to the remarks of the delegate, alleged to have been made on the floor of the House of Representatives at Washing ton, D. c.
 My attention has just been called to a circular professed to contain speech by Delegate Sutherland, sup posedly delivered before Congress. I believe the best answer to the attacks of our Delegate is the result of the Ketchikan election, where he attempt ed to defeat the will of the people by interfering in the city elections and circulating defamatory reports in re- gard to Mayor Tom Torry. MT. Torry was elected by the largest vote in the history of the city, which vindicated his record and showed that MT. Suther land was prejudiced and not above islander and calumny of one of the towns best citizens
 ''As far as my personal matters go" said Mir. Sexton, "Sutherlands animos- ity is directed toward me by the fact that at the Republican convention at Cleveland, Ohio voted on every bal lot except the last one, for Mir. Her. bert c Hoover for candidate for vice. president of the United States"
 Mir Sexton stated that it should be "up to- Delegate Sutherland to prove his charges again well-known officials of the First Division, and if he could do so, they should be summarily dis missed If the statements of Suther- land are untrue, and every Alaskan resident knows they are, Mr. Suther- land should be dismissed from office," added MT. Sexton.
 Il believe it is high time that the criminal statements of Alaska's dele gate should no longer be tolerated. These statements approach criminal li- bel and are unworthy of a man holding the high office our delegate holds I have been aware for some time that Dan has been laboring under physical difficulties, and this may account for many of his wild statements on condi- tions in Alaska"
 In regard to his conduct at Cleve- land, Mir. Sexton stated that MT. John Frame was not recognized as Repub- lican, and that he had for many years controlled Democratic politics in Alas ka. He declared that Frame would never be recognized as a member of the Republican party by Alaska Re- publicans, and that his appointment would have disrupted the Republican organization in the Territory

GERTRUDE EDERLE COLLAPSES.
Ladies May Smoke
But Tobacco Crop
Shows Drop

Despite the spread Of the
tobacco habit among women,
world production Of tobacco
dropped off 2 per cent last year,
the Department Of Agriculture
announced today. The total out
put Of the weed was 1850, 000,-
900 pounds.
Most Of the decrease is ac-
counted for by shrinkage in
the United States and Greece.
This country produced 1,242,
ga, 900 pounds last year, as
compared with 1916 10, 900
pounds in 1923, q drop Of 272,-
4S7, 900 pounds. In Greece there
was d decline Of IS, 0OO, 900
pounds. Turkey and the Dutch
East Indies increased their pro-
auctions and made up part Of
this loss.
The United States grows
about half Of the tobacco that Is
reported III the world and about
half of the total raw tobacco
that enters into international
trade.

PIRATE GOLD IS
SOUGHT ALONG
GULF COAST
Diving and Dredging Opera
tioas Begun BY Secret
Expedition

By International News Service

--<-
PORT DIXIE, Fla, Aug. iS.-
Treasure cached along the gulf
coast by Pierce and Jean Lafitte
and John Inerarity is being search
ed for. today by an expedition fitted
out in Pensacola and operating
with Santa Rosa as base.
Intense interest is displayed by
old timers along this section Of
coast line. All. of them know that
pirate treasure exists and some
of them even whisper of finds by
members Of their immediate fam
lilies.
The present venture is expensive
~ QUILTED. Working from a huge
cement and steel barge, property
Of the Government during the war
and now owned by a syndicate, the
membership OF which is a closely
guarded secret, diving and dredging
operations in Choctawhatchee Bay
started this morning.
Captain Paul Steward refused
point blank to give the names OF
the men who chartered the .dredge.
He intinated. however. that the
men who are interested in the
treasure hunt know of the loca.
ton Of at least one treasure cache.
This, according TO reports, Is To-
Gated upon land owned by a de-
vefopment company and the own
ers of this development have
stated that they contemplate in
junction proceedings against the
syndicate to prevent dredging OPP
erations on their land or in waters
adjacent thereto.
VIII the guarding shades of Pierce
and Jean Lafitt and John Inerarity
allow the present venture to be
crowned with success? That is a
question that is in the hearts of the
old residents of this section.
Among themselves they talk free
~, but when questioned by strangers
they look out to sea, smile their
salty smiles and answer nothing.

saved the two men from injury,
the detectives declared. After a
struggle the man was placed under
arrest and turned over to LeFoe.
At the First precinct, the prisoner

RHO MONASTERY, Bulgaria,
Aug. 1S.-Freedom from the cares
Of governing Bulgaria are found
here in this mountain monastery,
alike for King Boris and his pre-
mier.
Professor Andrews, of Tufts Col
lege, Massachusetts, was surprised
to find himself face to face with
King Boris in this beautiful spot,
and he was quite complimented
when the King sat and chatted
with him for more than an hour;
the professors surprise was greater,
however, when, in walking through
the monastery, he came face to
face whit Premier Tsankoff.
"Morgen, said the premier. "Is
that the way you say 1t in Amer
ica?"
The professor smiled and re-
snonded, Woodworking"
"Ahr said the premier. per.
haps my English is not too good.
I am glad to meet you here.
though. for / understand you have
been inspecting the refugee camps.
ut is good that our western
friends should see what a huge
problem this <<1ugee question Is
for small Bulgaria. Our country is
filled with refugees, and our
frontier lines swarm with them.
That is due to the failure to execute
the minority clause in the Balkan
peace treaty. The desperate con-
dition caused has created a very
rich soil for discomfort among the
masses of the oppressed popula-
tions and for Bolshevist activities.
I'm Bulgaria both the public and
the state benevolence have been
taxed to the extreme, as every
seventh person is refugee"

Stiff Wind and choppy Sea
Overcome Girl Seven Miles

CAPE GRIS-NEZ, France, Aug.
1S.-Miss Gertrude Ederle, the
American girl who left here at
7:1O q. m. today to swim the
English Channel, collapsed at 3:5S
this afternoon and was lifted from
the water intO the tug which &c
companied her, according to adj
vices received here.
Miss Ederle was about seven
miles from Dover, her goal, when
she was forced to give up, ac-
cording to wireless from the tug.
Miss Ederle started out from
Cape Gris-Nez at ITO a. m. and
for the first five hours or so every
thing seemed in her favor.
The waters of the tickle channel
were calm and serene when she
started and. although the tide was
ia be against her until 1870 o'clock,
IL was calculated that that disa6-
vantage would be overcome from
noon EDWARDS, when the tide would
be her friend in the rest Of the
struggle to reach the Dover Cliffs
She Was Optimistic
Miss Ederle was full OF optimism
when she took off, an optimism
which was shared by watchers IN
the lighthouse at Gris-Nez, who fol-
lowed her with their glasses until
she disappeared into the channel
mists. At 10 a. m. came back
hopeful word that she was going
strong" six kilometers from the
French coast.
Optimism continued and at 11:30
O'Clock a Dover channel packet re.
ported Miss Ederle in mid-channel
with everything in her favor.
Then fortune, in the shape of the
natural elements, seemed to aban-
don Miss Ederle. She was strug-
Cling valiantly forward, but a
packet which reached Boulogne at
3:15 y. m. reported the wind rising
with Miss Ederle still battling In
mid-channel.
More disconcerting was a later
message from q Dover captain
who, arriving in the English port
at 4 o'clock this afternoon, reported
that he had not sighted the Ameri.
can girl. He added the discourag-
ing news that the middle OF the
channel was so rough that in his
opinion Miss Ederle could not pos
sibly succeed.

SUGGESTS PLAN TO MAKE
TRAFFIC SIGNS DURABLE

A method OF painting signs on
the streets so that they will not be
effaced so readily was suggested
to Colonel 1. c. Moller, acting d.
rector of traffic, by c. Francis
Jenkins, inventor today.
Jenkins, who invented a method
of transmitting photographs by
radio, suggests that the roadway
be stippled, or made into a surface
consisting of raised units, so that
the paint may be permitted to sink
below the surface and be evident
longer.

Engine Jumps Switch Within
City Limits-C Coaches
Stay on Tracks

Seventy-five passengers and the
train crew of a southern-bound
train which left the Union Station
at 9:15 today courted with death
when the engine jumped switch
as it turned the curve on the
viaduct over Second street and
Virginia avenue southwest, and
derailed together with an express
and baggage and mail car. The
parlor car and two coaches con-
tanning the passengers did not
leave the tracks.
Miraculous Escape
How Engineer Matt M. Bostwick
and Fireman Athol Melott escaped
with their lives when the engine
derailed is a mystery to trainmen
in the yards who witnessed the
accident. AS one oldtime railroad
man declared: Lady Luck was
sure with them"
An inquiry is under way to de-
termine the cause of the deraii-
ment, while a wrecking crew is
endeavoring to hoist THE engine
and. salvage it.
Except for a brief period Of
hysteria among some of the women
and children the passengers took
the accident quite calmly.
Coaches Sent Out Again
Working swiftly, the officials of
the Southern Railway took the
passenger coaches back to the
station, unloaded the mail and bag
gage and sent them out again at
1929.
Bostwick, Melott, and Jim Fisher,
the conductor, who were in charge
of the derailed train, all live at
The Plains, Va, and are veteran
railroad men.
The train was bound for Warren
ton and Harrisonburg, Va. 1t was
in the hands of what is known as
a cut-out engineer who leaves it
at Alexandria The road engineer
of the derailed engine, known on
the Southern line as No. 1104 Is
r. S. Coffin.
Engine Beyond Repair
Coffin, it is said, will be sadly
shocked when he learns that his
engine has been wrecked. probably
beyond repair. Each of the
Southern Railway engineers have
their own engines and they take
great pride in their appearance and
record.
Besides having his name printed
in prominent letters on the side of
his cabin, Coffin had the picture
of his young daughter pasted on
one of the huge dials in the center
of the engine.
First word of the accident came
to the police when one Of the pas
sengers walked down to the Seventh
street station and told Private F.
McGrath of the Fourth precinct.
McGrath Immediately notified police
headquarters and obtained the
essential details from train Of
ficials.
