FINDS PERUVIAN
COLD ON ISLAND
Man Who Befriended Beggar Is
Rewarded With Key to
Buried Treasure.
ROBE ISJN8T YET BEAD
Locate* After Search of More Than
Seven Years Gold Hidden Half Cen
tury Ago—Church Despoiled
by Four Sailors.
Papeete, T. hlti.—Romance is not
yet dead. Tales of buccaneering, mur
der on the high sens, burled gold on
lonely, uninhabited islands and charts
and cryptograms of hidden treasure-
trove are not all Inventions of imag
inative minds or legends of n day
which Is long past.
Suita a tale is that of the treasure
of tlie island of I’lnaki, whose biding
place, after a patient search of more
than seven years, lias at hist been
discovered. And now a schooner from
Tahiti has been dispatched to bring
away the gold.
Sailors Despoil the Peruvian Church.
A half century ago four sailors, de
serters from a coastwise vessel,
joined revolutionists in Peru and
learned of n vast treasure of Jewels,
plate and Ingots, the property of the
cliureb, which lmd been hidden in Peru
to prevent It from falling into the
hands of one of the warring factions.
Secretly, the sailors searched for the
treasure, found it concealed In a
church and moved It to another hiding
place on the const.
Going to Panama, the seafarers, at
night, hoarded a small schooner, mur
dered the crew and, after putting the
treasure aboard, set sail across the
Pacific, intending to make some Eu
ropean port later to dispose of their
wealth. Recalling that they had no
clearance papers and probably could
not enter a Kuropeau port safely, they
decided to hide the gold on some un
inhabited Island and then get it later
in a vessel they would charter at Syd
ney, N. S. W., for trailing purposes.
Across tlieir path lay the island of
Flunk), In the Pnuniotu archipelago of
the smith seas, and at this unlnhnbhed
spot they stopped and hid tlieir loot.
One native, who observed them from
a neighboring island and rowed across
to see what the men from the strange
schooners were doing, was killed and
his tribal brothers, who crossed Inter,
found only ids empty canoe and
strange markings, on the trees.
Sailing on to Australia, the four
scuttled their ves-el a few miles from
norm at sen - opened the seams
of their ship. Not aii believed them,
for some resident* had seen the ship
approaching and had witnessed its
mysterious sinking. There were no
police, however. In that section, and
as the four looked desperate, they
were permitted to strike out overlaud
for Sydney unmolested.
Beggar Divulge* Hiding Place.
In 1914, years later, a Mr. Howe
was accosted on a Sydney street by an
aged beggar. Howe gave the man a
few shillings and was surprised to
bear tlie man ask bis tame and ad
dress. gome time later Howe re-
celved an urpi nt s*immons to a Syd
ney hospital. There he found the beg
gar. wlio told of how be and three
others lmd buried their treasure, hnd
sailed on to Australia and hnd set out
overland for Sydney. Flacks had at
tacked them and killed two of the
sailors. The beggar and his surviving
companion, Brown, tried for years to
get a ship to go for the treasure, but
never obtained money enough. Brown
finally disappeared, anil lie, Klllraln,
bad fallen Into misfortune and knew
Ids end was near. He gave Howe a
map of the Island, begged him to be
lieve tin- story and to sinreii for the
treasure. The following day the beg
gar died.
Since then Howe has been search
ing for the treasure, and lately an
nounced tlint he had found it in a
shallow lagoon on I’lnaki. Lately be
chartered a schooner nt Papeete to
go to lift the gold after making a
contract with the colonial government
as to Ids rights in the matter. It is
said the treasure Is worth several mil
lion dollars.
Drowned in Swimming Hole.
Lcwlstown, lit.—Mrs. Have Shaw„
thirty-five, her two children, Ruth,
fourteen, and Dorothy, twelve, and
Charles Lofley, an elderly man, uncle
of Mrs. Shaw, were drowned in a pool
on the Shaw farm, six miles west of
Canton.

HOPE TO COME BACK
Deported Radicals Are Fleeing

Tl.i e emigrants, according toAtner-
icon ion-,.at- of.i. n!s, who hear thef
stories and have to tell them there Is
not much chance for them to pet
lack, arc greatly disappointed with
wlmt they found in the "promised
land.'’
They tell of starvation and long
ride- In trains so packed with people
that there is scarcely room to breathe.
Besides those who hnvc succeeded
In getting to Latvia, there arc many
others who have written friends In
Riga asking for money from America.
The Moscow correspondent of the
Riga Rundschau writes as follows
about the Russian-Americans inside
the country:
“The numbers of Russian commu
nists expelled from America, who with
wry faces are selling tlieir last goods
and chattels on the Moscow market
plnces, are increasing every day.
"The soviet government is doing Its)
utmost to keep these people above j
water by giving them even whole fae-i
torics to run and manage. But jis
these factories are very much run
down, even American spirit and en
ergy is not sufficiently strong.to set
them In operation.
"A little better off are those of the
Immigrants who have managed to take
with them from America their tools
or goods produced by tlieir trade. Such
people are doing a big business and
can afford to live well. Thus, one
party of emigrants has succeeded In
installing a small sewing factory eon
tabling about 300 sewing machines.
“Formerly the soviet government
simply' would have confiscated this
lucrative enterprise, but at present
the government Is a little wary, the
more so ns In this case they have to
do with Immigrants whom they make
a point of treating with the greatest
possible courtesy and consideration.
“Quite recently there arrived a
party of Americans whose specialty
Is the construction of small dwelling
houses. They are welcomed and aided
by the soviet government.”
