Four Barges With Crews Still
Adrift OffshOre-Steam-
ers Reported Safe

Norfolk, Va, March 4.--tR-Al-
though q score Of vessels were badly
battered by Wednesdays northeast
gale off the Virginia coast, coast
guardsmen today were completing
check which thus far has disclosed
no loss Of life.
Three cutters, the Carrabassett,
Manning and Mascoutin, were scour-
ing this section of the Atlantic sea-
board, principally to locate four
barges which broke away from their
towing tugs and are adrift with their
crews offshore. 1t is believed none
of the crews have met mishap.
Two vessels have been driven on
shoals, the steamer Firmore at
Smiths Point in Chesapeake Bay,
and the schooner William Bisbee
near Cape Henry. Tugs, however,
were expected to float both ships.
Two large steamers for whose
safety apprehension had been felt,
are now reported safe. The passen-
ger steamer City of St. Louis is pro-
ceeding to New York after emerg-
ency repair Of her steering gear, and
the steamer Willsolo planned to
dock here today after having put to
SEA to ride the gale. Fears for the
Willsolo had been expressed when
no radio messages came from her
yesterday when she was a. day over
due.

TWO BOYS FIND
RICH QUARTZIN
SOUTH NEVADA
PrOspectOrs Stand Ready To-
day For Rush Into New
Gold Producing District

Tonopah,s New, March 4.--(P)-
Nearly 100 automobiles stood ready
here today for stampede to new
gold producing district, yielding
what prospectors said was the richest
quartz ever seen in southern Nevada.
Two l9-year-old boys arrived here
Wednesday night with two sacks
filled with the quartz. Assays of the
ore gave returns Of $4,000 q ton.
The town was on the verge Of hys-
steria last night. Scores of prospec-
tors watched every movement of the
lads, and one man offered $1,000 to
be told the place where the ore was
found.
The boys who found the ore are
Frank Horton. Jr., and James Tray
nor. Both their fathers are mining
men. Horizons father is in Los
Angeles and the youths refused to
give the location of the strike until
he returns.
Mining engineers said that if the
ore given the assayer was Of the
"free" variety, it came from Death
Valley. famous in the history Of gold
in the west.
Reports around Tonopah said the
boys had found free gold, but the
youths kept their own counsel.

TH0S. MILLER
is GUILTY OF
0NSPIRACY
Jury Disagrees. However, in
Case Against Daugherty
Was Out 10 Hours
Federal Court, New York, March 1.

Federal Court, New York, March 1.
--(R-After more than 20 hours de-
liberation, jury today found Thomas
w. Miller, former alien property GUS
todian. guilty Of conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States of his honest
and unbiased services in allowing
claims for $7,000,000. A disagree
ment was reported for Harry NJ.
Daugherty, former attorney general,
and the indictment against him was
dismissed.
Daugherty and Miller were charged
with having released $7,O0O,OO worth
of property seized under the trading
with the enemy act after having been
given. according to the government,
"hyp0dermic injections of graft" by
John +. King. late national Republi-
can committeeman from Connecticut.
The property was the proceeds of
40 per cent of the stock of the Amer
lean Metal company, owned by two
German companies controlled by the
Merton family Of metal magnates.
History Of the Transaction
Richard Merton came to this coun-
try after the war to seek return of
the property through the A. +. c. Of
flee and retained King to put his
claim through the government offices.
He paid King fee of $44l 900 and
the government charged that part Of
this money found its way to Daugh-
terry and Miller through the agency
Of the late Jess W. Smith, Daugherty's
political handyman. The Merton
claim was passed in 1921.
BY the time the government Off
cials were indicted. the statute of
limitations prevented prosecution for
bribery and so they were charged
with conspiracy against the govern
ment they served, the period Of limi-
tation for conspiracy being six years.
They were brought to trial for con-
spring to defraud the government
Of their full and impartial services
in permitting passage Of the Merton
claim.
Bail Set at $1,000
Bail for Miller was continued pend
ing approval. 1t was set at $1,000.
Date Of sentence will be arranged by
counsel and Judge Knox.
United States Attorney Emory r.
Buckner, after the verdict on Miller
and the disagreement on Daugherty,
asked Judge Knox to nolle PROSE- the
indictment against Daugherty.
The court complied. Maximum SEN
tence in Miller's case is two years I'M
prisonment and $4,000 fine.
Aaron Sapiro, Miller's counsel, said
an appeal would be taken.

Good humor prevailed when the
house and senate met this morning to
adjust differences on various bills
passed by one house and amended in
the other.
Despite this fact, however, indica-
tions were that difficulty would be
experienced in adjusting conflicting
opinions on several bills.
Among these were the departmental
appropriation bill, carrying more than
81, 1000. 600 for the maintenance Of
various state departments; the bill
