Will Go Ahead in Treasure Hunt, He
Announces.

NORFOLK, Va, october 8 (P.-
Capt. H. L. Bowdoin, in charge of the
expedition attempting to recover the
treasure on the steamship Merida, said
tonight he had heard nothing of Will
liam BrightWell's claim of ownership of
jewels on the Merida.
He asserted he would not alter his
plans to recover the Maximillian Jewels
if they are on the sunken ship. which
lies in 200 feet of water about 60 miles
east of Cape Charles.
THE Merida has been sunk more
than 21 years and her treasure belongs
to any one who can recover it." he said
I'VE are nearer to the treasure than
Brightweu, whoever he may be.
III We recover the jewels Brightwell
can have them if he pays us for them
They are said to be worth $4,000, ,00O"
Capt. Bowdoin said the salvage
steamer Salvor, flagship of the treasure
hunting fleet composed of that vessel
and the trawlers Sea Gull and Sea
Rambler, will resume the treasure hunt
next week.
The vessels have been in port for
about two weeks. Because of dissatis-
faction among the crew, Capt Bowdoin
recently dispensed with the services Of
the Salvor's skipper and several others
of the crew. He has employed D. H.
Hayman of North Carolina as the new
skipper Of the vessel.

High lights in the legislative program
are expected to be formulation Of q
policy regarding the restoration of pay
and benefits taken away by the econ
on.y act, liberalization of the retire
ment law, and fair and equitable clas-
sif1cation for all Government employees
with previous assurance from organized
labor that 1t will support Federal work
ers on these important items OF their
program.
Referring to statements by certain
candidates for dismissal Of more 0,00C
employees, and drastic pay cuts for the
rest, the statement referred to outstand-
ing services of the Government, de-
clared that such services could not be
eliminated, and said 1t was question
able where such proposed reduction in
personnel could be made.
"Not Opposing Economy"
Declaring the economy act wage cuts
run as high as IS per cent, the fedora
ton declared 1--WE are not opposed to
economy in Government. 1t must be
done, but why attept it at the expense
mainly Of persons who are performing
unselflsh and devoted service to the
American people? Our definition OF
economy is not reducing wages, but
eliminating waste. :"
There is one thing for Federal en-
ployes to do" the statement added
They must place their case squarely
before those fair-minded legislators and
the American people and avail them
selves of the strength of organization
which has advanced the condition of
American labor"

Mrs. Raymond Robins departed from
the White House yesterday for Louis
vile, holding to her belief that her hus-
band was kidnapped when he disap-
peared September 3 and failed to keep
an appointment with his long time
friend, President Hoover.
The wife Of the social economist and
supporter of prohibition held to her
theory that her husband had been kid
naped by bootleggers despite the Prohi-
bitlon Bureaus inability to find any
facts to support it.
During her two-day visit at the
Executive Mansion she talked over all
the case with President Hoover, Walter
Newton. one of Mr.. Hoover's secretaries,
and with Col. Amos w. w. Woodcock,
chief OF the Prohibition Bureau
She went to Louisville to visit DR..
Vernon Robins, brother of her husband
Mrs. Robins talked with newspaper
men at length before her departure but
admitted she had received no informa-
ton as to her husbands whereabouts.
Il am firmly convinced" she said,
that my husband is not dead and has
not been harmed"
Asked the basis for such a belief she,
smilingly, replied:

hurriedly from Fort Myer. However
their services ultimately proved un-
necessary, as an examination showed
the other horses were in fair condi-
ton.
Crowd Blocks Traffic.
Mr.. Halstead had seen one of the
horses lying on the street, traffic mean
while being blocked by the crowd that
assembled. A little farther down the
street the second horse was breathing
his last. Five other tired mounts were
standing along the curb with corporal
in attendance
The corporal told Halstead he had
called Fort Myer and had been told to
bring the other horses into the stables.
Believing the tired mounts unfit for
further riding, however, Halstead in
tervened and succeeded in having the
veterinarian and truck sent to the
scene.
When Maj. ]. L. Behmey, the post
veterinarian. arrived, he conducted a
post mortem, which showed the horses
had passed out of the picture" due
to the unaccustomed exertion.
Examination of the five other horses
convinced him it would be easier for
them to jog along slowly to Fort Myer
than to ride out in trucks.
The eight-day maneuvers, fatal to
two faithful Steeds, nevertheless proved
the mettle of the Fort Myer mounts.
Except for this one incident, the others
arrived at the fort In splendid condi-
tion. This is all the more surprising,
it was said, due to the fact there are
a great many old horses in the 18th
Cavalry.
Enforced Economy Victims"
The two that died under saddle, like
veteran troopers, may be said to be the
victims of enforced Army economy
With appropriations cut to the bone
this year. it has been impossible to Sc
cure all the remounts that are needed,
not only at Fort Myer but at other
cavalry posts. The same is true of
the artillery horses at the Virginia
post. There are many old mounts
among these.
Curious crowds hung about the scene
at Dupont Circle for more than an
hour until covered wagon of the Dis
trict Street Cleaning Department ar
rived and hauled the bodies of the dead
horses away. Unlike soldiers who die
in the service, an ignominious finish
is to be written after gallant end.

sApprNa THE NATION.

In recent address, Harold Nc
Gugin. representative from Kansas,
held that taxes are draining the life
blood of the nation.
In 1918 the total annual tax burden
of the country was s2,sOOO0O00o At
present, our ability to pay is less than
It was then. Yet in 1880 the total
burden reached sl2 2O0OOo0OO, and it
is appreciably higher now. Where, in
1918, the total public debt averaged
$43.33 per capita, it now averages
more than s255.00.
Congressman McGugin, like other
qualified observers, lays the principal
blame for exorbitant taxes on the
continual widening of government ac-
tivities. More and more billions are
demanded for "relief"-for ventures
into business, for subsidies for states.
The great bulk of these appropriations

called the Bonus has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
with respect TO the SO called Bonus
such Is not the proper term. 1t Is

pledged itself to pay these certificates
in full by l045. Since they must be
paid at any rate by 1945 favor pay
Ing them Immediately. not merely
after awhile. Such additional funds
In circulation will stimulate business
now. Else the government will find
itself obliged to appropriate additional
funds for extra public works. And this
will make two debts to pay instead OF
one. If had been in the Senate this
past spring I would have voted in
favor OF the Adjusted Compensation
payment then before Congress Just as
did Congressman Sam B. Hill, dry de-
mocrat Of Waterville, and Congress-
man Ralph Horr, wet republican Of
Seattle. would pay the adjusted
compensation now while the boys that

World Relationships
Are at a Critical Stage

In his final word through the press
tc the voters before the primary cleo
ton next Tuesday, September IS,
Emery Asbury, Republican candidate
for Congress in the new Sixth District,
makes the following statement:
World relationships are ut n critical
stage; as critical Us ut any time In our
history. Europe owes us billions Of
money which she claims she cannot
pay. Democracy has broken down
across the Atlantic, and we have To
deal with dominating personalities,
rather than with nations.
1.-THE progress OF world reorganiza-
tion--League of Nations, World Court,
and tho rest--has stopped waiting for
CLEAN Of light on the great problems
OF international debts and armament
reduction. America has put forth a
program Of percentage reduction Of
offensive ornaments as o great stride
toward lifting the over-powering
burden Of taxation from the shoulders
OF mankind and, at the same time,
strengthening the bonds Of peace. As
we await Europe's answer, the two
great Oriental powers GRID their loins
for q death grapple over the control
OF northeastern Asia, with the Soviet
menacing figure in the background.
Now, II ever, America needs trained
leadership.
I'VE should cancel no debts Afneri-
cas- plan Of armament reductions
would balance European budgets and
permit our debtors to meet their obli-
cations to us, We must guard our In
terests In the Pacific. The Philippines
are an everpresent problem. My five
years In the Philippine government
have shown me how great that prob
lem Is. China and Japan depend upon
our trade for their very exlstance. The
safety Of that trade depends upon an
adequate system Of naval defense up
to the ratio provided in the Washing
ton treaty. Let us offer the world the
friendship ard the leadership which
we are so able to give; and we can
make that leadership most effective If
VIC speak with q consciousness of ade-
Guate strength to meet any aggression.
1.-THE new Sixth Congressional dis
trict should send one Of her many
loyal sons to Congress to look after
her local interests. She should take
care, however, to send one who can aid
the national administration in guard
ing Americas interests In both hem
ispheres. The people Of this district
