1 into the tunnel and there fourGl cleaning darkly the gold bars, ob- viously hidden there for centuries. The bars bore the seal of the old Spanish crown.
 The theory was that there, at the foot of the Santa Maria mountains, was the famed La Estrella mine which prospectors have sought for 200 years. It was suggested that natives, outraged at the cruel treat ment of the Conquistadores, ann pushed treasure train, killed all its men and buried them with their gold and personal belongings in the mine tunnel. This belief was strengthened because mingled with the bars were rusted weapons and gold mining and gold washing equipment.
 Natives learned of the find and rushed to the scene. So did pro- vincial police who put a machine gun guard at the spot. Police re- Inducements were sent from here as soon as the government began to believe that the story of the find was true. Van Steck, the French man, told provincial authorities that he left the scene to report the find to the government and file treas ure trove claim which would give the prospectors 50 per cent of their find. He alleged that Hill, the Ger man, told natives that he-Van Steck--would not return and that the natives the prospectors had hired could not be paid. Van Steck said he returned, treasured the rle- tives, and Hill fled to the hills. These charges convinced authorities here that they had better act promptly. Col. Manuel Pino. chief of police of Panama. left for the spot Sunday with three chartered planes and police endorsements.

 The resolutions, offered on the oc. casion of the orders 60th annual convention, also criticized Robert w Bingham, United States ambassador to Great Britain, and other "Ameri- can diplomats whose affection for the country of their temporary sta- ton is often greater than their de- votion to the cause of their United States"

A verdict of $4,5O0, the largest in common pleas court for the year, was re- turned in favor of Dr. Wolfe, and the defense immediately made mo- tion to have the verdict set aside.

C.L.D. BUILDING
 WINS VICTORY
Judge Wynne Denies In- junction Motion of Wa
 terbury Trust Co.

Possibility that the location of the four-story c. L. D. building on North Main stret might be changed through court order was removed, at least for the present today when Judge Kenneth Wynne in a superior court decision, denied the injunction, proceedings of the Wa terbury Trust company against the G. L. D. Realty company.
 Tn Waterbury Trust company, owners of the property adjoining the G. L. D. building on North Main street, had sought an injunction restraining the defendant company from interfering with the enjoy ment of their easement rights, which are supposed to have been contained in an ancient agreement.
 Alleged Encroachment
 The c. L. D. building, compara- lively new in structure. is alleged to encroach upon these easement rights, which guarantee an un- hindered view of the center of Wa terbury."
 The Waterbury Trust company sought, as a relief measure, re- moval of a portion of the c. L. D. building. Judge Wynne refused to recognize their demands, and found the issues for the defendants, ac- companying his decision with the opinion, "The court is far from con- vinced that anyone can fairly say with exactitude what is the loca- ton and where the boundaries of the property giving rise to the present dispute"
 Action in supreme court resulted from Q previous trial of an action on the same allegations.
