This Contributor Says that While the
Prohibition Enforcement Officers
Found Some Whiskey on His Place,
They Did Not Catch Him Drinking
From Hose Leading to a Buried
Barrel, AS They Claimed They Did.
To the Editor of The Republican.
/. Dear Sir:-I am writing you in re-
gard to what was published in The
Republican about what the officers
found on my farm. l want it correct
ed, or l will find out the reason why.
The officers did not find any whiskey
mash on my farm, nor did they see
me drinking from the hose, as they
declared they did. 1 was at the barn
and had just fed the pigs and was
ready to milk the cows when the Off
GERS drove up in front of my house.
One of them came to the barn and
asked me to go along with him, which
| did.
They found some liquor in my pos
session, which they poured out, and
if they would search some more
houses in and around Oakland they
would be apt to find more liquor.
Now, want you to correct this
right away, for am not going to
have such things as that published on
me.
1t was bad enough to find liquor,
which is all that they did find, and
which was enough without telling and
publishing lies to make it seem a
lot worse.
Now, I would like for this to be COR
rected, and in the next paper.
Yours very truly,
HOBART HARVEY.

SEEKS TO SETTLE
] CLAIMS ONESTATE
Mellon Asks Court to Decide.
Disposition Of John C:
Landreau Property.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
has filed a bill of interpIeader in
the District Supreme Court against
Norman B. Landreau and Martini j.
Mcnamara, executors of the estate or
John Celestin Eandreau, and about 70
other clainsdnts to an award oil
$125,0 900 paid by the Republic of Peru
for the discovery of nitrate in 1874.
Mr.. Mellon tells the court that the
Secretary of State has informed him
that he is unable to agree as to the
amounts due each OF the various
claimants, and Secretary Mellon
wishes to avoid embarrassing litiga:
ton and possible liability if he pays
any of the claims and SO asks the
court to require the various claimants
to prove their rights and to decree
just how the money shall be distrib-
uted.
Through United States Attorney
Gordon and Assistant United States
Attorney Rover the Secretary of the
Treasury informs the court that the
Republic of Peru signed a protocol
May II, 1921, providing for an ar.
bitration over the Landreau claim
before the arbitral commission, which
reported October 26, 1922, that
$125.0O0 was due the Landreau
nelrS ana tH6 MONEY Will III
terest of $10,062 was paid into the
Treasury. Mr.. Mellon says he de-
Quoted from the fund $43,1S4.90, rep
resenting the cost of arbitration, and
there remains a balance of $91.S77 to
be distributed among the persons
found by the court to be entitled.
Landreau, 1t is explained, gave a
number of assignments and later at
tempted to repudiate some of them
on the claim that the provisions were
not carried out. The executors as
sert a claim to the entire balance, it
is stated. and Secretary Mellon passes
the problem on to the court for the
solution.

. POSEN,, Poland, July IA. - Tassilo
Schultheiss, professor at the Univer-
sity of Posen, who is regarded as one
of the greatest lingliists in Europe to-
dayA knows SO languages and 240
dialects.
Few people in Posen know him, for
he leads the life of recluse. Snow
white hair--he is only 80 years old
heightens the unusual character of his
appearance.
For a number of years he was mere
~ a modest teacher at the "gyfhna-
sum-" or high school When his uh-
usual gifts were discovered; however,
he was called to the university.
From a remote province in China
there recently arrived a letter for a
Posen merchant. who took 1t to the de-
partment of oriental languages at
the university. The professors in
charge pondered over the document
for week, and Were about Ito give UP
in despair, when one of them remem-
bered Schultheiss.
"Why. that's such-and-such dialect,
spoken by only a few thousand people
in China he said, and locked himself
up in his study for.the next IS hours.
AS he emerged he was able to place
q faultless translation into the hands

The massacre, which long has been d
matter of dispute among historians of
the West, marked the halt of Spanish
conquests to the North during the
eighteenth century.

Col. Don Pedro de Villasur was dis

In August, 1920, the caravan came
upon the Pawnees. The Spanish cava-

For two days Villasur waited fruitless,
