CHANGEY APPERS WINER N TAVPA Bloody Election Seems to Favor Mayor—Several Boxes Impounded. By the Associated Press. TAMPA, Fla., September 4. —Mayor R. E. L. Chancey today appeared to have won another term of office in an election marked by bloodshed in spite of military supervision. Complete unofficial returns from 21 of the city's 29 precincts showed a total of 7,486 votes for Chancey, who had the support of the city election machine, to 3,907 for D. B. McKay, former mayor, who was favored by the county organization. Election officials said there would be some delay in completing returns, since several ballot boxes were im- pounded in the jail with poll officials from six precincts, who were charged with ballot-box stuffing. Both the city and county factions had hired hundreds of election “watchers” and armed them with guns and clubs. At one polling place, City Firemen J. T. Creel and P. D. Shirley were wounded in a clash between city officers and special county deputies. Later, Fireman Jimmie White and Special Officer J. B. Benjamin were shot. None was seriously wounded, but hospitals treated many for clubbed heads. ROBBERY REVEALS NEW GOLD HOARD Baltimore Boys Had Dug Up Thousands More After Court Fight on Find. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, September 4.—Good fortune and adversity conflicted today in the manner of a story book romance for two once penniless youths who unearthed a golden treasure from a musty cellar. The theft of $5000 in gold and $3,100 in currency from the home of one led to the revelation the boys had found a second treasure trove, valued at $10,000. Theodore Jones and Henry Grob had their first taste of wealth about a year ago, when they unearthed sev- eral thousand gold coins from the dank cellar floor beneath Jones’ residence. It was only after extended litiga- tion that they won the right to keep the gold. The coins were sold at auc- tion for $20,000. The boys did not reveal their sec- “Chicago” to By the Associated Press. The Navy has stricken from its | list of commissioned ships the old | threemasted schooner-cruiser Chicago, which naval experts regard as the | mother vessel of the present Ameri- can fleet. Secretary Swanson, who was & young man in Virginia when the | Chicago first became famous, has is- sued an order directing the vessel, moored now to the submarine dock | at Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor Bay, to be sold for scrap. The Chicago’s claim to immortality | is that she is the first steel warship | the United States ever built and it | | was on her record that this coun- | try—not without anguish and some | misgiving—decided to scrap the cld wood and iron type of vessel and to build an entire new navy.

Naval experts from all over the world came w in- | spect her steel hull and to study the | | strange boilers, which were a con- | tribution from the old-fashioned saw- | mill of the American backwoods. Soon after the Chicago came cown the ways of John Roach & Son's ond find of $10,000 until yesterday, | hipyard at Chester, Pa, the Navy | when police began investigating the robbery at the apartment where Theo- dore Jones lived with his mother and | SIDEWAI.K OUTLAY step-father, Philip A. Rummel. The $5,000 of gold and the $3,100 in eurrency that constituted his life sav- ings were stolen from a trunk in the second floor rear apartment last night, Rummel told police. When officers began inquiring into the presence of the gold in the house, ‘Theodore and Henry told Lieut. E. Zekiel Williams they decided a month | ago to dig in the cellar floor again. “I was holding the pick when it hit a can,” Theodore said. “We opened it and there was gold money in ft. We took it upstairs and divided it” Asked how the division was made, | Theodore said: | “Well, we just took one $20 gold piece for him and then one for me, | and then one for him and then one for me until all the $20 pieces were gone. Then we did the same with the $10 gold pieces.” 1 Gave Share to Mother. ‘Theodore said he gave his share to his mother, Mrs. Rummel, who put it 1‘:“ the trunk with her husband's sav- But Henry Grob’s mother took his share downtown and sold it for $3,400. “She took a beating,” Henry said. “It was worth $5,000, I'm sure.” ROCKVILLE PROPOSES PROJECTS OF $23,671 | Program Submitted to State W.

Be Scrapped Mother Vessel of American Navy to Pass Out of Existence. * The schooner-cruiser Chicago. built three more steel full-sail, full- steam cruisers—the Boston, Atlanta and Dolphin. These formed the famous “white” or ‘“evolutionary” squadron and with the Chicago as flagship were sent off to the Medi- terranean, Capt. Henry B. Robeson in command. Salute guns boomed from the Chi- cago in those days and in her salon more than one foreign ruler ate and drank from the silver platters and goblets given to the ship by the cit- izens of the city on Lake Michigan. Flagship of Squadrons. During the next decade the schoon- er-cruiser was flagship of both the North and South Atlantic squadrons, visiting Cape Town und St. Helcna; a few years later as flagship of the European, fleet she sailed through Suez and into the Indian Ocean. During the entire Spanish-Amer- ican War, the Chicago was under- going repairs at New York. She was held in reserve at Philadelphia dur- ing the World War so that during her entire history she never fired a gun at an enemy. In 1928, after being moored at Pear] Harbor to serve as a barracks for the submarine force, she had | her name changed to Alton so that a new and faster cruiser’might carry the name Chicago over the high seas.
