LEADERS FR0WN 0N PLAN OF cANDH| F0R
 THE PHILIPPINES

MANILA, P. l., May 13. P)- Mahatma Gandhi'S campaign of civil dsobedience is watched with keen terest in this country, where some leaders for years have
 advocated immediate, complete and absolute independence" from the United States.
 There have been scattered sug- gestons that the Filipinos would do we'll to follow in the footsteps of the Indian nationalists, but the only effort in this direction by any popular leader met with a cold reception.
 Senator Juan Sumulong. head of the Democrats, or minority party, came out for Philippine civil dis obedience, and was promptly jeered by the press and by the leaders of the Nacionalista or ma jority party. ~ There are a number of reasons for the failure of the Filipinos to be more than passively interested in the Indian situation. American Filipino relations as whole are not. bad. Cooperation between the governor general and the leg islative heads prevails.

It is a long trail to Los Angeles and the 1892 Olympics but the performances of several American youngsters in recent track meets are encouraging to American pros poets in the tenth modern renewal of the ancient Greek games.
 The rise of Ira Singer and Will liam Bruder as first ran1 sprinters, the fine performances of Ray Con- ger at 1000 yards and the mile, and the great indoor half miles of Russell Chapman, the new worlds record performance of George Spitz in the high jump, to name only few are cause for rejoicing in American Olympic committee cir cles.
 Of the five only Conger com- peted in the 1928 Olympics and his form on the boards this winter has been better than he showed in 1928. He finished a badly spent 10th in the 1,500 meter final at Amsterdam but his added years and weight have given him new en- durance without, seemingly, taking away that great finishing kick" that characterizes all his races.

DO YOU
 SUFFER FROM
 CONSTIPATION {?

Countless remedies are advertised for constipation. Many relieve for the moment but they are habit form ing and must be continued. Others contain calomel and dangerous min e:'al drugs, which remain in the sys- tenn, settle in the joints and cause aches and pains. Some are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave depressed after effect.
 Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage natures machinery to become lazy.
 A purely vegetable laxative such as Carter's Little Liver Pills, gently touches the liver, bile starts to flow, the bowels move gently, the intestines are thoroughly cleansed and constipa- ton poisons pass away. The stomach, liver and bowels are now active and the system enjoys a real tonic effect All druggists sell genuine red pkgs.

 Chapman, who has obscured his talents for years to help his slow CT Bates college mates to victory in r-,ay races, is the most promising halt miller s.lc eastern tracks have seen since Lloyd Hahn was burn ing up the boards. Powerfully built, possessed of fighting heart he thinks it's a swell break if he's only ten yards back at the start Of his anchor in relay race the Bates college senior should be at his peak in another year. In his running Chapman is somc- what reminiscent of Hahn who burned himself out in the semi finals at Amsterdam and could fin- ish no better than fifth behind the flying Englishman Lowe. Chap man has the same rather ungain- ly dogged gait, but he does not run with his chin on his chest as Hahn did.
 Add to these men, Frank Wykof3 in the sprints, Fed oturdy lA v..e pole vault, Lee Seminar and Per- cy Beard, the two best college murders today for that event, Erik and Rothert and Krenz in the weights and you have the nucleus for a great track and field team.

travelled it themselves until the CRY was
fenced. Like other roads laid out y, len who
must beware of ambuscade, it kept much as
possible to high and open ground. The land
it traversed on the north fork of the Llano
came to be known as Lechuza Ranch.
In 1881 the Lechuza came into the posses
sion of a young Scotchman, Capt. George
Keith Gordon, who, after having hunted slaves
the East Coast of Africa and mapped many
of its harbors, had lately retired from the
British Navy. Nearly so years have passed
now since Capt. Gordon became interested in
the San Saba mine he is still interested and
has trail to hunt out. This is his story.
Twenty-Five miles or so northwest of the
Lechuza Ranch was Fort McKavett, occupied
during the seventies for the purpose of frontier
defense. After it was abandoned the camp
sutler remained in the country. He was not an
uncommunicative sort of being, and he was not
tardy in letting the newly arrived owner of the
Lechuza know that the hillsideS and valleys of
his estate contained something more valuable
than the eye-delighting mesquite grass.
One day while scouting out in the vicinity of
a large cedar brake on the Lechuza range the
sutler, so he told Capt Gordon, saw three In
dams. He himself was hidden from them, so
he watched. Presently they disappeared in q
very queer manner-vanished as If into the
earth-then reappeared and left. Curious to
what they had been up to, the sutler rode
down to the spot. He found hole in the
down into it he could distinguish nothing
clearly and so became more curious He dragged
up small log tied his lariat to it and lowered
himself. Something over 90 feet down he struck
bottom.
He was in a concave about is feet across.
Against the wall on one side the skeleton Of
man sprawied over heap of silver bars. The
bars were so heavy that the suffer could not
take even one with him, for it would be all he
could do to pull his own weight out of the hole.
He would return to the fort, he told himself,
and make immediate preparations for securing
the silver bars and hauling them away After
clambering to the surface he marked the spot
carefully and left. But man attached to the
army even in the looSest wsy, is very often not
his own master For reasons not necessary to
delineate here it was full two years before the
sutler got back to haul out the silver.
When he did get back he found that fire
had swept the cedar brake, celebrating all sur
face markings The hole, 80 inches in diameter,
was lost
This account reminded Capt. Gordon Of q

cavity he himself had observed in a cedar brake
in his pasture but had not investigated. He
was thinking of investigating it when one
morning a stranger drove up to LechuZa head
quarters and, after the usual beating about the
bush asked permission to hunt silver on the
ranch. He was willing to give the owner half
of whatever he should find. Telling him moth
ing, Capt Gordon hitched up his buggy and
drove the prospector to spot on the old Silver
Trail, where some irons from burned wagon
had given rise to a tale about Spanish treasure.
GIT was hot July day." Capt. Gordon mar
rates. st was not feeling very well, SO
sat in the shade and let the stranger have his
way. He produced divining rod and followed
its pull into dense cedar brake-directly away
from the wagon irons but toward the cave I
knew about After an hours struggle with the
heat and cedar limbs he returned, claiming
that the farther he went the harder the rod
pulled. There must be wagon load of the
stuff at least he said. now told him the
suffers story
THE next morning he two young English
men, who we're staying with me, and I, all well
provided with ropes, picks, crowbars and
shovels, got into a wagon and headed for the
cave. On our arrival the rod in the strangers
hand at once told us that the silver was still in
the hole. We let him down and entered also.
The rod pulled toward one side. The cave was
not so deep the sutler had described his as
Delng ana IL appeared 70 nave peen nlleo WIN
loose rocks. My theory was that the cedar fire
had ignited bat guano in the cave and that the
heat had caused rocks to crack and fall The
young Englishmen few in to moving the debris
and within three hours were down to solid rock
bottom-but not to silver. The mineral rod still
pointed to the spot, but we were disguised and
quit"
So much for the silver cache. The mine out
of which the SpaniardS took silver affords the
problem that Capt. Gordon has really been in
terested in. Some time after the experience in
the cave he was over on the Nueces River and
there met Gen. John r. Baylor, who has had
some remarkable exploits as a mineralogist.
Baylor showed Capt. Gordon an outcropping Of
curious sandstone from which he had essayed
showing of silver. The captain began tracing
that formation. He found that, cropping out
in various places it led in a north-northeast di-
rection across his own ranch and on straight
toward the old preside at Menard. He and his
brother aSSayed some of the rock found on the
Lechuza and got a good percentage Of silver.
The way to find the San Saba Mine Is to
