MISSION TREASURE
|D|GG|NGS
Unearthing Of Old Ruins
Revives San Juan Capis-
trano Fables.
BY the Associated Press.

by LHc AobOClhtou FEcOos
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calf,
May 4.-Tales of buried treasure at
the 160-year-old mission Of San Juan
Capistrano were revived today by the
unearthing of ancient ruins.
For more than a century treasure
hunters have dug about the mission
in unsuccessful quest of fabled gold.
Chance discovery this week by q
workman's pick of an old stone side
walk and conduit, hidden for years
by ruins, rekindled hopes of treasure
seekers. Two applied to Father A. J.
Hutchinson for permission to renew
the hunt. They were denied.
The only gold in these hills comes
from crops" said the mission pastor.
The padres were poor and had moth
ing of value to bury.
Father Hutchinson said the still
persistent belief in buried treasure
dates back to the raids of Bouchard,
an Argentinian pirate, who sailed the
California coast robbing ranches and
missions.
"One story" the pastor explained,
relates wealthy ranchers when ad-
vised Of an impending raid by the
insurgent hurried to the mission and
buried their silver and gold and other
valuables. After the raid they were
supposed to have returned and
claimed their possessions, but legend
says that they were unable to find
much of their treasure and that 1t
still is in the ground here.
"Other stories credited the padres
with having obtained rich gold and
silver from mines in the nearby hills,
which was buried in small amounts
at a time. Another equally erro-
neous story Is that every ranchero had
to give the church one-tenth Of his
cattle, which was transformed by
sales or trades into gold"
During his Is years as pastor of the
mission, Father Hutchinson said he
has been interviewed by countless
treasure hunters whose ancestors
were supposed to have disclosed the
secret hiding place.

ECC[ES ANSWERS
BANK BILL CRITICS
Denies Measure Permits
Diversion of Credit by
Reserve Board.
BY the Associated Press.

by Ine ASSOClateu rTess'
Differing with certain members Of
the House Banking Committee,
Gov. Eccles Of the Federal Reserve
Board takes the position that the
banking bill now before Congress was
not designed to allow the board to
divert credit from industries which
are producing surpluses.
In a letter to Rudolf S. Hecht,
president of the American Bankers
Association, Eccles declared that op-
posite view held by some members
of the House committee had nothing
to support them. The Governor said
section of the bank bill on this
point had been inserted in the legis-
lation at his own suggestion.
The Eccles letter quoted from an
Associated Press dispatch published
April 81, in which 1t was said that
some committeeman were claiming
Presidential support for new move
toward a planned economy in which
money and credit could be DETECTED
from industries already producing
surpluses and used instead to develop
fields where demand exceeds domestic
supply"
Section of Bill Quoted.
The section Of the bill In question
says:
1T shall be the duty of the Federal
Reserve Board to exercise such pow
ers as it possesses in such manner
as to promote conditions conducive to
business stability, and to mitigate by
its influence unstabilizing fluctuations
in the general level of production,
trade, prices and employment, SO far
as may be possible within the scope
Of monetary action and credit admin
istration.'
Eccles wrote Hecht that the idea
that this language would permit diver
sion of credit from surplus producing
industries has not at any time ever
entered into any discussion of the
banking bill in which ! have partici.
pated. and it would never have oc-
CURED to me that any part of the
bill might be susceptible of such ar
Interpretation"
Suggested Disputed Section.
Saying that the section quoted hac
been incorporated in the banking bill
at his suggestion, Eccles continued:
That an objective of this kind is
one toward which monetary policy
must be directed by any responsible
authority would seem to be self-eH-
dent. I think. that no one would
question the obligation of the Federal
Reserve System to make every effort tc
contribute as much as it possibly car
to the attainment and maintenance
of satisfactory and stable conditions
in the field of business enterprise ano
employment. . -
But neither this statement of OBJ
jective, nor any other section of the
bill. would authorize either the Fedora
Reserve Board or the Federal Reserve
banks to determine the amount oI
credit that member banks might ex.
tend to any branch of industrial, com.
mercial or agricultural activity"

Both were bloody and scarcely able

but physicians said their injuries were
not serious. The Defense Committee,
expressing dissatisfaction with ex-
animation Of the two by hospital ply

other doctors examine them.

Although he said he saw only about
a dozen men when he and Levinson
were seized from their parked auto
mobile in the town plaza Thursday
night, Minor insisted that many others
must have been involved in the pur-
ported abduction. He said he had
screamed loud enough to have been

when he was pulled from the car and
loaded into one of the masked mems

Roberts, by the two bruised victims
of the strange attack were not definite
enough to arouse hopes of the officers
for an early solution of the case.
Mcintosh said the State would

case and that mo matter where the
guilt lies, high or low, prosecution will
result in any arrests we make"

MISS TAGGART ASKS
VOTE FOR DISTRICT
Nineteenth Amendment Failed
for Women in Capital,
She Maintains.

Miss Eta Taggart. a member Of the
District of Columbia bar and second
wee president of the Federation of
Citizens Associations Thursdav night
broadcast an appeal to the disenfran-
chized women of Washington to strive
for a vote for the District residents.
Although the women of the Dis
trict have the same economic, legal
and social status as the women of the
States" Miss Taggart said. they have
not had the same political advantages,
through their inability to vote and a
consequent lack Of national represen-
tation."
Miss Taggart said the most note
worthy privilege gained by women
through the long years of struggle for
legal recognition came to them under
the passage of the nineteenth amend
ment to the Constitution, which en-
franchized all qualified women, with
the exception of those living in the
District.
1T is to be hoped" the speaker
said. that all women will be aroused
by the injustice which has been done
to the women of our Capital City. and
that each one will use every means
of influencing the members of Con-
gresS to take an interest in and act
favorably upon the question of fran
chise for the District.
THE constitutional amendment urged
by the citizens empowers Congress to
correct this inequity without disturb
ing IN the slightest the national con-
troll Of the Capital or the present
form Of municipal government AL
that happens will be that the District
will become a small fractional part
of that Congress, and politically an
integral part of the Nation which that
Congress represents"

Natures Children
Barn Swallow.

Ranging well over North America
during the Spring and Summer, and
going to South America for their
Winters, you can readily see how well
known this bird is.
In April when he arrives, he greets
you with most enchanting Spring
song. 1t is a clear, sweet song, that
sounds like "weet-tweet, twet-weet," :"
with variations. The impression you
always get is the singers supreme hap
piness on being with you once again.
He inspects his favorite haunts. The
stream where he loves to bathe, the
pond where insect hunting Is espe-
cially fine and the open door Of the
barn where he may find rafters handy
for swinging his nest In a corner. OF
perhaps under bridge where the fussy
little stream passes. So intent Is he
upon refreshing his memory he pays
scant attention to you, and that il
your good luck.
The barn swallow Is the most beau
tiful Of the family, and our poets have
long sung his virtues.
There are two broods each year. The
first one arrives about the last of May
The cradle Is well built. It Is the
first adobe. The material used is mud
and some times the builder is ambi-
tious and mixes her mud bricks with
straw. Feathers and hay are used
for the inner walls and mattress. You
may see the rim of the nursery
fringed with feathers. There are from
four to six white eggs, well freckled
with browns. reddish browns and lilac.
The youngsters are a noisy lot and
even make themselves heard as they
pick their way from their shell in
closure. Father and mother have no
difficulty In finding an abundance Of
food for their offspring, the only ques-
tion is to make enough trips from their
source Of supply to quiet their elarnor-
ing brood.
