BANGOR, Me.-Three boys, John
Eaton, Fred McInnis and Ivan Young,
while searching for spruce gum and
hazel nuts in the woods miles out Of
Bangor, were startled at what they
first thought to be full of the domes-
tic or pasture variety charging at
them across field.
AS the animal came nearer they saw
It was bull moose. The boys fed,
pursued through the underbrush by
the snorting. believing king of the
forest, and finally managed to climb a
tall tree where they perched for half
bn hour while the moose paved up the
turf around the tree. The moose de-
parted as suddenly as he came and the
boys got home to late supper.
Moose are numerous in all the sur
founding country, the long close time
evidently having resulted in multipli-
eation of their numbers and also in
making them unafraid of anything or

BOARD RESC|NDS
STREET ACTION

Action on the resolution TO widen
W. Sixteenth st. from Meridian St.
to Northwestern Ave. was rescinded
today by the board of works at a
public hearing.
City Attorney John X. Ruckels-
haus advised the board to rescind
action. as it would be illegal to
modify the project.
The board will consult the city
plan commission relative to carry
ing out the widening plan between
Meridian st. and Boulevard Pl.,
which would relieve the traffic con-
gestion. A new resolution calling
for the modified plan and the elimi-
nation of the hazardous jog at Hi
nois and Sixteenth SITS. will be
drawn. according to Virgil Wanda
grifft. board president.
Nandagrifft said the board had no
funds to widen E. Michigan st. be-
tween Noble and East SITS, as pro-
posed by business interests in the
locality. He said the board would
take up the Michigan st. plan as
soon as funds are available.
1.-THE Sixteenth st. project has
been pending two years and it would
be Unfair to drop the proposal and
take up the Michigan st. project
now" said Vandagrifft.

'Lingenfelter has delayed a pre-
liminary order recommending the
type of paving material on four
principal streets for two weeks.
The delay of Ligenfelter, consid-
cred an asphalt friend, was seen by

improvement until specifications can
be revised, eliminating concrete as
an available material from a cost
standpoint.

underbid the asphalt firms.

PEKIN WALL
TREASURE
is SOUGHT
Story That Two FaVoriteS
Hid Fifty lGoId Bars
Starts Search.
By United Press

6U CWtttU IICoo
PEKIN, May ia true Tom
Sawyer buried treasure hunt is in
progress within the secret walls Of
the Purple Forbidden City of Pekin
"a hunt for fifty golden bars which
cost the lives of two lovely concu-
bines of the Emperor Kwang Hsu.
An aged Chinese woman who,
thirty years ago, was attendant to
the two concubines is teller of the
tale which led to this search.
Bars Are Stolen
According to her story as told to
officers of the Palace Museum, the
late empress dowager, who is famed
as China's last strong ruler, and
who ruled the weakling Kwang Hus
with the proverbial rod of iron, re-
sorted to sale of office to crafty her
desire for funds with which to carry
out such projects as the building of
the New Summer Palace west Of
Pekin.
This demoralized the whole Impe-
rial household and two concubines
accepted a bride or fifty golden bars
from an official of Fukien province.
Learning of this, the Empress
summoned the concubines and de-
manded the golden bars.
Girls Imprisoned
Upon being refused. a refusal
made worse by the concubines' coun-
ter charge that she herself had set
them a bad example, the Empress
ordered them into close confinement
and subsequently caused them to
commit suicide just before the flight
of the Court when the foreign Boxer
Relief Force arrived in 1900.
The woman who tells the story
was then a girl of nineteen, and she.
as attendant to the two captives,
helped them conceal the booty. Sew
eral buildings have been constructed
on the site and initial search has
been unavailing. but with the pro-
mise Of three gold bars as reward if
the treasure is found. the woman is
helping in a vigorous hunt.
