these sunken vaults; then more Of the
crude concrete was poured around and
over the chests. When the holes had
been filled with earth and the ground
smoothed off the captain made marks
ON his rough map to indicate these two
deposits, and the buccaneers departed.
They were never to see their golden
hoard again.
co GOES the circumstantial evidence
which half of Florida since 1928 has
built up to account for the presence
of an ancient concrete-covered chest
found in the wilds along the bank OF
the Suwannee River. Hands have
actually been laid on the Golfer, it has
been measured, been grappled around
with hooks; firm after firm of accredited
engineers has lightly approached the
task Of wrenching it from the embrace
Of quicksand, only to have it slip and
be gulped deeper and deeper into the
NAV. At last, however, it has been
circled in a steel cylinder, riveted
through with bit and anchored to bed
rock. Its recovery now is matter of
weeks-by the engineers who laid the
foundations of the Lincoln Memorial
here in Washington.
Should it be gold contained in the
chest-and the mass of circumstantial
evidence put forth by engineers and
chemists confounds even the skeptic-
that gold will not be the louisiana Pur-
chase money. A letter from the his
torical adviser of the Department of
State says: "No part of that sum
Il. e., the Louisiana Purchase money!
was paid in specie. The payment was
wholly made in stock of the United
States, or Government bonds, as such
stock would now be called. The
following is quoted from the message of
President Jefferson of November 8,
1904: Having prepared and deliv-
cred the stock created in execution of
the convention of Paris of April 80, 1903,
In consideration of the cession of that
country, we have received from the gov
ernment Of France an acknowledgment,
In due form, of the fulfillment of that
0VAHuldtxOu.
However, to confound the issue-as all
hunts for buried treasure are inevitably
cOnfounded-the acting chief bibliogra-
pher Of the Library Of Congress regrets
TO report that after an extended search
we have been unable to find the specific
information regarding the payment by
the United States to France for the
Louisiana Purchase"
But diSregarding the ultimate fate Of
the Louisiana Purchase gold, if such
there was, the old chest still lies there
In the quicksands of the Suwannee. Fol-
low the tale little further:

Backed by long experience in salvage
work, he was quickly drafted by those
in charge. Now he undertook feat
that had never before been performed.
The steel shaft had been driven
through the % feet of quicksand and
now rested on the shelf of rock sur
rounding the Golfer. Holm resolved to
explore the dark murk filling the CYL
inder. If successful, he would be able
to attach cables to the chest. A steam
derrick carrying mammoth steel grap-
pie was brought up within the next few
days. Holm got into his diving suit and
let himself down into the cylinder.
1t became a struggle to remain up
right in the quicksand. Several times
he had to be drawn to the surface to
unstOp the exhaust pipe of his diving
suit. But at length he felt his hand
touch the chest. He groped his way
around it, determining its dimensions.
A pull on the guide rope, and in a mo-
ment the huge cable with the grapple
attached came plunging down, striking
a corner of the chest with such force
diSlodged. This specimen was later
analysed and found to be of the same
texture as the material that went into
the making of Fort Marion, at st. Au-
gustine, the construction of which was
begun by the Spaniards in 1888.
Holm, hooking the claws of the grapple
over the Golfer, gave the signal and was
pulled to the surface. He had left every
thing set for the final hoisting-but what
a ghaStly transformation had come over
him. Blood was streaming from his nose
and mouth. His finger tips were bleed
ing. But he had reached his goal, and
therefore made no complaint.
All gathered around to watch the hoist
pull the chest out Of the earth. The
cables went taut. The MINDLESS began
to turn slowly. The Golfer was rising.
No one spoke. Begrimed engineers, un-
shaven, haggard, stared with strange
light in their eyes. 1t may have been
gold they were thinking of, it may have
been other things.
Suddenly loud report shattered the
spell and the frayed ends of the cables
were seen dangling from the top of the
crane. They had underestimated the
weight of the chest.
CARL HOLM, in his descent of the
shaft, had corroborated the dimen-
sions of the chest. What, the group inn
mediately asked, could be contained in
a receptacle Of such dimensions that
would give it sufficient weight to part
the cables they had used? Lead? 1t was
the heaviest of the non-precious metals.
Such mass of lead would weigh six
tons. Not enough-the cables tested
much more than that. The only metals
heavier were gold and platinum. Plati-
mum, of course, was out of the question
it must be gold.
A dogged silence settled upon Nelson
and his men as they went to work again.
Within the next few days a new contact
was successfully made. However, the
chest had slipped from the rock shelving
and had sunk to bed rock at depth of
38 feet. But men do strange things for
10 tons of gold.

Borah. This does not refer to southern Republicans but to southern Democrats who are profoundly shocked by what Roosevelt has done to the party. They want to vote against him but hesitate over a Republican of the ordinary type. There are millions like them. in the South and else where, for whom Borah would be ideal. The same is true of independent voters every where.
 The broad reason for turn ing toward the Idaho senator is the fact that he is a true liberal. The word has been stolen by the New Dealers be cause it at once appealed to the public and concealed their designs. Sullivan regards the New Deal "as reactionary as a proposal to go back to the time before the Magma Car ta."
 If Senator Borah is not the Republican nominee, he at least is the man that the nom inee will have to beat at the convention. - Alaska Daily Press of Juneau.

WHOM DO REPUBLICANS
 WANT :?

In any discussion of possi- ble Republican nominees for the presidency at the 1886 election, the name of Senator William E. Borah inevitably is the first brought up. In one of his recent articles, Mark Sullivan, political con- mentator, asserts that the man most desired-by the largest number of persons for the Republican nomina- tion, is Borah. He declares the situation clean-cut. It must be recognized, he said, by those whose sentiments favor others and by those who have regarded Borah as not a strict Republican.
 The Idaho senator, the ar ticle said, is desired by east ern Republicans because he is the ablest man in America at defending the constitution, making clear and simple to the people why they need it. Eastern Republicans consider that the issue next year will be the constitution.
 Western Republican leaders favor Borah because of his extreme popularity. There is little doubt in their minds that he would carry the west. One New Deal senator from the west has said that Borah against Roosevelt would car ry every western state.
 Much of the South, the ar ticle continues, also wants

have it on good authority that, should you meet a visi- tor from the land of the Con- quering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, it is good manners to call it Ethiopia instead of Abyssinia.
 H. Murry Jacoby, New York financier, who was a Special Ambassador of the United States at the coronation of Emperor Halle Selassie, ex- plains that Ethiopia" means burned by the sun and "Aby- Ssinia" as a word connoting a mixture of races. It is under standable in the light of his tory that the portion of the people who know that there is a choice in the use of names should want to be called Eth iopians. While in view of the many racial elements in the population "Abyssinia' as well describes the country, it is obviously good form to speak of it as Ethiopia unless the time comes when it will be necessary to think of it as Italopia.
 There was an Ethiopia which had it's beginnings in the mists of antiquity. It was the Aesthiopia of the Greeks and Romans; the Ouch of the He breWs. Its fame is recalled in the claims of the later Eth iopian rulers that they were the descendants of King Solo mon. The history of the coun- try is linked with that of Egg ypt, which was at one time under Ethiopian domination.
 But it does not appear that the ancient Ethiopia included the territory of the Ethiopia of today, or, at least, that it included more than a small part of it. Some authorities are of the opinion that the Ethiopia of the past roughly corresponded in position to

Colonial Homes Win Favor
1000 INSPECT
NEW CONCRETE
DWELLING
BY MYRON M. PARKER,
Real Estate Editor

Mr.. Spangler, of the Spangler
Engineering Company, who Is
building quite a few houses in
Arlington county of English and
Colonial types, claims that the ma
iority of people purchasing homes
in that vicinity lean towards the
Colonial style and in consequence
his new houses, which he is just
starting, will conform to that de-
sign.
It was quite interesting to learn
from Oswald F. Schuette, of the
Farley Process Corporation, that
more than 1000 persons visited
their exhibition house last Sunday.
It is on the Colesville Road opposite
the indian Springs Country Club.
This house demonstrates a new de-
parture in architecture in that

prefabricated walls of Farley mo-
sale concrete.
Heating Test
AS pioneer in new field this
Farley Polychrome House No. /"
has naturally attracted nation
wide attention. Another very in
teresting feature described by Mr..
Schuette was that they had heated
the house to a temperature OF IS
degrees, turned off the furnace
for "a hours, and again took the
temperature. This time it read 81
degrees, proving that this new con-
struction held the heat almost
perfectly.
Britton Brown, a partner in the
firm of Randall H. Hagner, has
recuperated from his recent ILL
ness and is spending few days
in New York.
A. H. Ryan, better known as
CAP to his many acquaintance,
recently bought the old Finley
estate outside of Ellicott City and
has remodelled it into one of the
show places of Maryland.
Scores Success
Mr.. Ryan has always been a sue
cessful real estate operator and
last year built several houses on
the old Blagden estate, which he
sold quickly. If he does not be-
come too interested in hunting
and the life of gentleman
farmer, he is contemplating build
ing more houses in the near fu-
ture.

Apartment space at present is

gan to undouble. are still general
ly in the lead in degree of space

Building Loans Boom,

of loans greater than at any like
season in the last three years was
made by the building and loan
associations during the first quar-.
ter of 1885, reports to the United
States Building and Loan League
from important States in the in
dustry indicate. In a fourth Of
the reporting States the loans this
year mount higher than in any
first quarter for four years.
Comparing the reporting States
for 1884 and 1885, the national or
ganization finds a 50 per cent in,
crease in volume of loans and a
II per cent increase in the num-
berS of families served, thus show
ing that the size of the average
loan has decreased slightly. The
growing Importance of moderniza-
ton and repair loans is the chief
reason for the smaller amounts
per family being disbursed.
I. F'riedlander, Houston. Tex,
president of the league, estimates
on basis of the reporting States
that between $75,OOO,O0O and $780,
900, 900 was placed out in loans by

Calling attention to the pres
ent search of capital for the best
investment opportunities. and to
long-term trends now strongly fav-
orable to real estate investment,
Walter S. Schmidt, Cincinnati,
president of the National Associ-
alton of Real Estate Boards,
makes this comment:
cat this juncture, bills deal
ing with the mortgage are be-
fore legislatures in great
many States. Among the pro-
posals are extensions of redemp-
ton periods, mOratOria on in
terest payments, elimination Of
deficiency judgments.
II earnestly believe that here
we may well sound a note of
caution. Mortgage money is re-
appearing and those States
which make the mortgage unat-
tractive, or unduly impair the
obligation of contract, will find
themselves without adequate
funds for financing.
every indication points to a
steady improvement in new con-
structiOn during 1885 and to pro-
nOunced activity probably by
1886. Building revival will be
hampered in those communities
which get the reputation for
being unsafe for mortgage in
