A-12 DIVERS MAY LIFT SH'S G0LDROON 100 Per Cent Salvage Pos- sibility Encourages Egypt Operators. | BY DAVID SCOTT. @pecial Dispatch to The Star. v o lay sea all ;{; \n%‘he rain, Alberto Giano and his Italian divers were deep in plans | for salvaging the $5,000,000 treasure of | the Peninsular Oriental liner Egypt, 400 | feet beneath the surface of the ocean. Already they have devised a scheme which, if it succeeds, should rank as one of the most remarkable operations ever performed in the history of marine sal- vage. | Fhe divers intend, it possible, to cut into the Egypt's hull as a surgeon cuts | into a patient’s body, to remove the bullion room as a surgeon might remove & patient’s appendix and bring it to the surface without opening it and carry it bodily to land. In this way they hope to salvage the whole of its contents at one stroke without losing & penny by the Way. Time Is Important. The reasons for attempting are two. In the first place, there is the question of time. A whole season of work will be needed to lay the bullion room bare. If the room were opened and its contents scooped up bit by bit, the work would run into a third year. The second reason is that piecemeal salvage would in- volve inevitable and perhaps heavy Scoop and grappling irons, no this n Very large piec:: amoun! coin would inevitably be scattered lost, it if the com: attempt to raise the bullion room involve no additional work before- ke along its length below rted laterally by the deck on h it stands. A piece of the deck hull blown away on each side so the the bullion room will stand clear. Will Lower Stirrups. Soft and Smooth By Datty Use of Cuticura Soap Do You Get Up | Feeling Tired?

With patience and care, there is no reason why the opera- tion should not succeed. The riskiest part will be bringing the caisson and its burden to land; but here again noth- ing will be left to chance. The neces- sary gear already is being designed in detail, and it is not likely any possible contingency will be overlooked. Inde- pendent experts already have given their warm approval of the plan. The divers estimate they will need 300 working hours to clear away the bullion room, which is, roughly, equiva- lent to three months under favorable conditions. Therefore, the salvage op- erations constitute a am for next year.

BUDAPEST, September 11.—The | newspaper Ujsag vesterday made public a declaration by Archduke Albrecht to the effect that while he adheres to belief in the validity of his marriage, in England recently, to the divorced wife of a Hungarian diplomat, according to the Hungarian civil Jaw, he is convinced “as a faithful Catholic, from a human standpoint and having a regard for his soul’s salvation,” that his marriage was not fully valid. For this reason, the statement says, he has not yet taken up common habita- tion with his bride, who, by her union with Albrecht became a Hungarian royal princess. She has moved into a villa, while Albrecht continues in his former residence, until the Pope shall have given the sanction of the church to the wedding. —_— S Police officials at Acton, England, were recently asked by an elderly wom- ;1:1 to compel a nexxhtbor w;'&p “put- radio waves on throug! e wall” making her very 1. COMMUNISTS CLUBBED Berlin Demonstrators Defy Police, Who Arrest Nearly 50. BERLIN, September 11 (#)—Com- munist demonstrations occurred in va- rious parts of Berlin last night and in one of them, on the historic Wilhelm- strasse, the disturbers defied the police and were dispersed with gunfire. The demonstrators marched up to the presidential palace, where they were met by the armed guards and warned to disperse. When they re- fused to do so, the police fired shots into the air and the Communists took heed and left. Police used their clubs freely at oth- er points and arrested nearly 50 of the manifestants.

His chest was still expanding when Mrs. Penny brushed him aside and teed up. The hole was halved. D. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1930.
