PIRATE COLD
LOCATED BY
MEXICAN BOY.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, March 4. W.D
The crew of the tuna boat Amor
Da Patria, returning from a cruise
in Lower California waters, today
brought a tale of pirate gold-S2,-
100000 in pieces of eight and gold
doubloons picked up by a Mexican
lad in the sands of Santa Margar-
tia island, 600 miles south of here.
The story was that Mexican boy,
trying to start a fire on the beach
on the island had struck rusting
chest filled with a kings ransom in
pirate treasure.
The crew of the fishing schoon-
er said the discovery became public
in the little village of Port Magda-
lena whe nthe boy attempted to pay
for pack of cigarets with an old
doubloon.
i've got plenty more of these,
too," he is reported to have told
the tobacconist.
Then came the story that the
youthful Mexican, attempting to
start fire, scooped depression in
the beach sand. He struck some
thing hard. Digging further he
found a rusty chest. 1t took nine OF
his friends to help him extricate
the chest and its rich contents, so
the story goes.
The youths interests are being
looked after by Mexican customs
house official, the fishermen said,
and the Mexican government plans
to take 25 per cent of the treasure.
Since the find" according to the
fishermen, practically the whole
population of Port Magdalena
moved to Santa Margarita island
where they are industriously prob
ing the sands.

By 11-Year-Old Boy Reared

BY HARRY FLORY
,jted Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

LONDON, March Am 11--year-
cid boy, reared in Boston was eX-
pected today to succeed to the Gold
en- Lotus throne of Siam which
King Prajadhipok gave up because
his parliament would not restore his
power of life and death over his
subjects.
While Prajadhipok remained at
his country estate near London, 1t
was reported from Lausanne, Swift
zerland, that the SiameSe minister
to France visited Prince Amanda, the
ll-year-old heir presumptive, and
asked him to go to Siam to take the
throne. Amanda and his mother.
Princess Songkla-living at mod
est Lausanne boarding house during
his education-were willing, al
though the boys health is delicate
and he was forced recently to inter-
rupt his studies at a private school
to 90 to Villars for winter sports.
A statement from the government
at Bangkok was expected tomorrow,
probably announcing that Amanda
would rule, with regency to guide
him during his minority.
The boy will be king, Brother OF
the Moon, Supreme Arbiter of the
Ebb and Flow of Tides and Possess
sor of the "a Umbrellas.
Young Prince Amanda was fam
iliar sght to Bostonians in his child
hood, when he was wheeled through
the streets in his baby carriage
while his father, the late Prince
Mahidol, was medical student at
| Harvard. ~
AS king, if he ascends the throne
as expected, he will be borne
| through the streets of Bangkok in a
golden sedan throne, with elephants
| from the royal stable following. He
will have gold and red river barge,
yacht, a special railway train, his
own golf course and his own palace

anda of Siam will accept the throne
o. his country provided that his pre-
sence is not required until his health
improves, his mother, Princess
Songkla, decided today.
Her decision came after a visit

SiLsbee School
To Be Rebuilt

After considerable discussion on
the subject of consolidation, Silsbee
school district has decided to re-
build the school, burned to the
ground in a fire recently, instead of
consolidating with another school
district.
In order to do this, it will be
necessary to hold bond election
which in all probability will be set
for March 80, the regular school
election date, this serving as an &C.

be two different organic acts. There can
not be two different acts. May [ ask how
the Government intends to synchroDlze
the two acts:
The Governor: Mr.. Chairman That's
a difficult problem. To have a committee
appointed oy this Council and one by
the St. Thomas Council and have them
work together is the only solutlou have

of both committees, and the best thing
is for them 10 meet as early as possible

committees may not reach unanimous

that the Councils have agreed on most
