CARTAGENA. OF RICH RENOWN. 400 YEARS OLD Famed Colombian Port Was Target of Many Attacks by Sea Rovers. Bu Timm Sfiri ini CARTAGENA. Colombia. Jan. 27. | -Among the oldest of modern cities. j Cartagena, founded In 1533. enters | upon the fifth renturv of its ex- j istence on Jan. 21. It will celebrate! the event In the picturesque .manner j of the country, with a program of festivities and an elaborate exposition designed to recall the j wealth of romance and travail j which 400 years of life have brought' to this ‘Carthage of the New World 1 ’ and to portray her presentday activities in commerce, agriculture. and industry. A port of call for noted navigators of the world, from Columbus to Lindbergh, Cartagena <pronounced Kar-tah-hay-nahi evokes at every step the memory of early American i history and the Spanish Main, and delights visitors with .its historic charm. Though possessing an ancient; glamour second to none, Cartagena presents the strange paradox of , antiquity and modernity side-by- j side. Gateway of Gold Once the chief port of Spanish conquerors, it was the gateway! through which Untold millions in gold and jewels passed from the new world to the old, fleets of treasure-laden galleons setting forth twice v early for Spanish ports. Today Cartagena is an active seaport on the Carribean .one of South j America’s northernmost points of contact with the teeming North | American continent, and a port of call for many transoceanic liners, which pause here cn route from the four corners of the world through the Panama canal. The life of Cartagena has been more colorful and more turbulent than that of any city in the Americas. The f'arl.y Spanish conquista-i dorrs discovered the herbor and decided to establish a city there! through which the Spanish fleet l might maintain contact with the rich new world over which their dominion rapidly was becoming estab- j h^hed. Rut the native Indians thought otherwise, and it was only with the greatest, difficulty that, they were subdued. On Jan. 1, 1533, the first stone of the new city was laid by Pedro de Hciedia in the name of Spain. City Built Raptdtv Thereupon, its fortresses and towers rose quickly, at a reported expense of eighty million dollars j and thousands upon thousands of j lives, perhaps the costliest city in | men and money since the building j of Rome or Athens. Spain's determination to build j strongly and to hold the city against all comers w ; as not without logic. ! Shipments of gold, silver and emeralds, costliest of jewels, in the mining of which Coloumbia still leads all other countries, were dispatched to the old world. Caravans of priceless booty flower | into Cartagena by muleback and other means of primitive tran.s- ! portation English and French raptfl- I ly learned of the treasure land, and j Spain, unwilling to share the bounty j of discovery, fortified mightily. The ! original fortification remain intact, i mute testimony to the power that

built this new world Carthage. Your guide points out, that, like Carthage of old. it withstancf'many a mighty siege and was the site of the greatest battles of those times. And like Carthage of old, Cartagena fell before invading conquerors. The most famous assault of all has an indirect but picturesque connection with United States history and with one of Uncle Sam's own most precious of national shrines. In the 17405, a British fleet, under command of Admiral Vernon, stormed Cartagena. It was one of the mast stupendous and enduring sieges of the military history of that day. The final stages of the siege found the would-be invaders under command of one Captain Lawrence Washington. Upon Captain Washington’s return to Virginia in 1742, he found anew house awaiting him. the central portion of the present mansion, and he gave it the name of Mt. Vernon, in honor of the admiral under whom he sailed for Cartagena. Upon his death, the property became that of George Wash-

ington. his half-brother. During the period 1544 to 1815. Cartagena was attacked eight times by pirates and buccaneers, among them the Englishman Drake and his countryman Hawkins. These succeeded in capturing the city, held it for a short period, and abandoned it, with booty valued at more than half a million ducats. French adventurers also succeeded in capturing the city after : strenuous siege, and departed with even greater treasure. In spite' of temporary capture, Cartagena continued to remain Spanish, for, although some of the besiegers were successful, their stay ! was only long enough to plunder ! and sack, to accumulate portable ; wealth to the capacity of their ma- ! rauding ships.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ATTACK UTILITY BILL PROVISIONS Four Major Objections Are Aired at Hearing on Measure. Four major objections to the house | bill to provide for municipal ownerj ship of utilities were aired Thursday night when the measure was given a public hearing in the house of representatives before Judiciary B committee. Another session on the bill will be held in the house chamber at 7 Monday night. Majority of tne speakers at Thursday night’s hearing objected to provision for taxation of municipally owned utilities. Practically all speakers pointed out that such taxation, in principle, might as well include taxation of schools, city halls and courthouses. Another objeettion raised was on the public counsel having charge of public rate cases. Neither did most

of the mayors and municipal plant j superintendents believe election should be held to avoid public service jurisdictiton. Majority of the speakers felt the process should be reversed with all municipalities taken out of the public service jurisdictiton with a provision that ! any which desired might hold an ; eleettion to come back within its ; regulation. The fourth objection had to do i with the provision that utilities be paid for out of their earnings. Mu- ! nicipalities should have the power to issue municipal bonds for the purpose, most of the objectors believed. Sinclair Oil Dealers Meet Dealers and filling station attendants of the Sinclair Refining Companv v Thursday night discussed the 1933 Indiana merchandising program in a meeting at the Severin. Company executives from New York and Chicago, and H. B. Moore, Indiana agent for Sinclair, had charge of the meeting. In several German cities there are communal Kitchens, where women in need may receive food materials and prepare them there for their i families.

CONSIDER VOTE ! RACKETEER BILL Anti-Love Balm Measure Also Is Held by House Judiciary. Political racketeering and antibreach of promise suit bills still are held today by house committee judiciary A following consideration at a meeting Thursday afternoon. The racketeering measure would cover cases like those reported during the November campaign when it was charged some employers threatened workers with discharge if they did not support the Republican national ticket.

Fear that even political speeches might be construed as violating the racketeering act was expressed in the committee hearing.
