THE 'SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, HOTEL REOPENING FORWINTER INFLUX Atlantic City Enjoying Great Popularity—1935 Events Scheduled. ATLANTIC CITY, December 8.— Further evidence that Atlantic City 1s rapidly becoming as great a year- | around resort as a Summer center comes in the announcement that the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, closed shortly after Labor day, is to reopen Decerh- ber 19. ,» It is the first time in the memories of the oldest inhabitants that a large beach-front hotel has opened in mid- Winter. Only a few days ago it was dis- closed that five leading beach-front hotels showed an increase of 33 per cent in room sales during the first nine months of this year over the corresponding period of 1933, and that | during October the same ratio of busi- ness would show an increase of ap- proximately 100 per cent. Hotel men | say these indications, coupled with the hotel's announcement, show asvery | definite trend toward recovery here, where 1,200 hotels comprise the prin- cipal industry. A program of special attractions of interest to visitors taking in the en- | tire year of 1935, with an outstanding | event for each month, has been | mapped out by the Atlantic City Special Events Committee, which is STEAMSHIPS.

COLONIA, Uruguay, December 8.— Buried treasure, legendary golden riches of the Incas of Peru, including the crown of Athualpa, last Inca King have this River Plate port all excited. Excavators are digging a _great hole in the sand at Honda Beach, near here, seeking millions which, if old tales are true, were buried here more than 200 years ago by the pi- rates Moreau and Molina, who, after hiding their find, went out to sea on another series of raids, but met an armed British barkentine. In the ensuing battle both Moreau and Mo- lina were killed. Survivor Tells. Only one sailor of the pirate crew was spared, according to local ver- land to be hanged, but before he died | he told how Moreau and Molina had buried their loot at Colonia. ‘The gold. the story goes, was taken from Viceroy Laserna of Peru, who ingots, earmarked for the King of Spain. Moreau and Molina intercept- ed Laserna's craft and made off with the ingots and also the crown of Athualpa, last of the Inca monarchs, executed by the great conquistador Francisco Pizarro. The treasure is believed to have been buried, to give the legends all the conventional treasure trove de- tails, on a dark and stormy night in 1808. Sought in 1883. A British expedition dug unsuccess- fully for the treasure in 1883. Edward VII, when Prince of Wales, also was interested, says Carlos Mac- Coll, cne of the promoters of the e: sions, and he was hauled off to Eng- | had embarked with 60 kegs of precious | CRUISES cavations now going on. One of the other leaders is Maj. 0 Caram- bula, jr., son of a former chief of pcuce of Coxonu, who was intimately th the unsuccessful amuh -nempu to find the treasure. Maj. Carambula claims to have found a curiously carved stgne at Playa Honda which strengthened his treasure theories. Such a stone, he said, figured as a key in the British excavation plans of 1883, but they never found it. It was, he avers, mentioned by the pirate hanged in England. FIRE SAFEGUARDS BUILT INTO TWO NEW LINERS Alarm System Is Provided For. Carbon-Dioxide Cylinders Placed to RQetect Smoke. NEW YORK, December 8.—The Gdynia-America Line reports that special attention is being paid to the fire-prevention and fire-fighting equip- ment on the two ships now being built for the line in Trieste. There will be fire-resisting bulkheads on the va- rious decks, and cabin bulkheading and lining are to be fireproof treated throughout. On “B” deck, a fire-fighting center is to be provided with carbon-dioxide cylinders for smoke detecting. This |room is to be equipped with fire- fighting appliances and will be in tele- phonic communication with the wheel- House.
