EXPEDITION IS ' SEEKING BURIED pirates; gold fabulous Traditional Treasure to Be Drilled FQr in Deep Pit. By Tint* Special BOSTON, April 24 Pirate gold’s lure and a piece of parchment half the size of your thumbnail have united to revive search for a fabulous treasure sa'd by tradition to have been buried more than two centuries ago. There njay be nothing of value at the sand and stone-choked bottom of a 171-foot shaft, known as “the money pit,” on Oak Island, one of 365 islands that dot beautiful Chester Basin, oft the Nova Scotian coast. Eut Frederick L. Blair, who has devoted thirty-eight of his 63 years to a persistent effort to fathom the Oak Island mystery, will tell you f.htre is a real treasure—an Immense treasure—at the base of that deep pit. Prepare for Three Months’ Work And in the hope of proving his premise, he is sponsoring an elab-orately-equipped expedition which will begin drilling in the famed old shaft next week, prepared to stick to the task for at least three months. , It will be the first organized attempt in thirty-four years to unearth the supposed treasure. ‘See this bit of parchment,” Blair says. “It was scraped off the auger used by the Putnam expedition In 1897. They drilled down to the 153-foot level, and after penetrating a substance which scientists say is man-made cement, and a heavy planking, their auger passed into what may have been a buried chest.” It’s Convincing Evidence He passes you a magnifying glass, through which can be seen, on the fragment of parchment, what might be a small portion of script done in India ink. “That is more convincing evidence of a buried treasure than a few doubloons would be,” he says. “I am satisfied that either a treasure of immense value or priceless historical documents are in a chest at the bottom of the pit.” The Oak Island treasure which, according to tradition, was buried about 1700. is believed to be worth approximately $10,000,000. This is the estimate of William Chappell of Sydney, N. S., who worked at the shaft for twenty months during the expedition of 1897, and who, with faith unshaken, will direct the new expedition, comprising twenty-five to thirty men to start drilling next week. WRITER LAUDS NEVADA FOR ITS INDEPENDENCE Would Give Thomas Jefferson Real Thrill, Says Samuel Blythe.

DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN ASSAILED BY OFFICIAL 1 —- “Summer” Schedule Is Nuisance, Asserts Weather Bureau Head. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 24 Dr. C. F.

Picturesque and tie-less, John A. Jones, for years Republican boss of Grant county and considered one of i the most astute party leaders in the {state, may be the wedge which will drive Senators Arthur R. Robinson , and James E. Watson still farther apart. Jones, sometimes known as the i "perambulating sphinx,’ because of his taciturnity, has been postmaster of Marion for two terms and his present commission expires next | Jan. 1. However, he wants to hold ; on, not so much for the sake of the post, as the fact that a bitter fight is being waged against him by the | Lindsay interests, publishers of the consolidated newspapers at Marlon. This deep-seated enmity, which may terminate in an entirely new political alignment in Grant county, had its inception in 1920, when ■ Jones read The Chronicle out of : the Republican party. From then on the war was relentless and the paper succeeded in defeating Jones’ county commissioners for rs-election. u a a FOR years he had teen the most prominent Republican figure in ! the county. He was elected county i chairman in 1918, 1920 and 1922, and also served as Eleventh district , chairman in 1920-22. Many stories are being circulated ■as to how Jones first was appointed postmaster in 1923. They tell me that in 1922 Jones ; sought the postmastership, but was unabie to qualify for the appointment, so he had William D. Moss, prominent Grant county G. O. P. politician, qualify and accept the postmastership. Moss served from March until December. Then he resigned and Jones got the job after resigning the county and district chairmanships. Opposing Jones for the postmastership is Jacob Campbell, sheriff during the Marion lynching episode last August, who, because of this, was not considered for head of the state reformatory. a a a LEARNING, therefore, that there would be no state position available for him, Campbell, who is county chairman, decided That, through virtue of his office, he should be appointed postmaster. This places him in the embarrassing position of fighting his former political ally—but what does a little thing like that matter to Jake? For, as he has told his friends, he would like to have the place “which rightfully belongs to me.” The Lindsay newspapers, although not very warm toward Campbell, consider that the tools do not matter as long as the desired end be accomplished and so are expected to support Campbell. a a a Meanwhile, Jones in ws office in the postofflee building, is i like some wily old spider busy weaving a web. This brings us back to Watson and Robinson. Jones always has been an avowed Watson man. Since Albert Hail was defeated for reelection to congress from the district and Glenn Griswold of Peru, a Democrat, has the post, the patronage for the Eleventh district goes to the two senators. Watson is expected to be for Jones, and therefore, as the logics professor once said, Robinson will be "agin him.” Robinson may go for Campbell or anyone else, because by opposing Jones he expects to obtain the support of the Lindsay papers, which he will need greatly in the 1934 campaign.
