TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1914, CONTINUE SEARCH 10 FIND PIRATES GOLD Gulf Coast Raked for Treasure Baried by Jean Léfiie. Galveston, Tex., July 14.—The pot of gold at the rainbow’s, end was never more seductive or elusive than the pirate treasure Jean Lafitte is supposed to have planted on Gal- veston lsland or on the shores of Gal- veston Bay., Nearly a hundred years have passed since the pirate of the Gulf sailed the River Styx, vet the lure of his treasure continues. Generation gfter generation has had seekers of easy riches, and today there are probably scores who cher- igsh the hope of stumbling upon the plunder. The quest of this storied gold has inspired writers of many periods to produce the most outrage- ously improbable tales, and fool- hardy expeditions have been with- cut number. Most Interesting Report. Among the records of searchers for the treasure there is nome more interesting than that prepared by George W. Grover in Galveston in 1910. The manuscript ef his yarn, “Jean Lafitte and His Treasury Box, a Narrative,” is among the valued possessions of the Rosenbérg library, and is included in the compilation of articles concerning Lafitte. The “Treasury Box'" story is duplicated, appearing first in 'penned longhand and in printed characters. The pen- cilled illustrations appear desultory and irrelevant, but may in the knowl- edge of the artist-author have some bearing on the narrative. When Lafitte was driven from the coast of Louisiana, the writer relates, he made his headquarters at Cam- peachy on the eastern part of Galves- ton Island. He built his famous Redhouse where Mechanic and Elev- enth streets now meet. The prep- aration. of a box for treasure is de- scribed in detail although how the author ' gained this intimate knowl- edge when he can only vaguely place the time as between 1816 and 1819 is a puzzle. Sending sentinel ships east to Calcasieu, Lafitte followed as far as Rollover and with a small landing party took his treasure to East Bay Bayou thence to a point opposite the southeastern part of High Island. The bavou was then navigable, but ‘has since been naturally filled in. The treasure laden party went up an iso- lated ravine until it’' reached a large hackberry| tree. Here the ship’s carpenter got busy and chiselled upon the tree near its base the following: “D M 15 D E.” Story of Fallen Tree. The inscription appears to have flabbergasted the author, who claims he gazed upon the identical tree. The tree, worm-eaten at its base, had toppled over when he saw it. He osked an old inhabitant its age, and was informed it was 150 years old. Of the many persons who puzzled over the cabalistic marking, none de- ciphered the true meaning. Mr. Grover, however, thought he had solved the riddle, and intended hunt- ing up the treasure. Whether he did or not the manuscript did not state. Continuing, Mr. Grover avers that in the '50s Alexdnder Edgar living at the mouth of the Blind Bayou dis- covered a stranger searching . for something and said: “My friend, prob- ably I can assist you.” The stranger then explained that he had sailed with Lafitte, that a party of privateersmen, closely pressed by the enemy, had put ashore at this point and buried some of their plunder. Many Contradictory Assertions. The investigator of the Lafitte data &t the library needs to be armed with a large shaker of salt, for more than one grain has to be taken with some of the assertions.

The colonel discussed “the monkey diet, jungle fever and the River of Doubt” with Father Cur- ran. Discuss Connecticut Visit. Robinson on-leaving Sagamore Hill at 10:30 o'clock, said that he and Mr. 4Jsop had discussed the colonel's visit to Connecticut on August 15, when he will speak in Hartford. “We went over the New York situa- tion briefly,” Robinson added, “but there is no chapge in the situation.” Robinson said that he knew nothing of the alleged Whitman letter other than what he had read in the news- TY! ASS0CIATION Boyne day, July 12, and the parade of the Orangemen passed off without serious trouble, It is admitted, how- ever, that the Ulster question has lreflched a “crisis” again. tory assertions which has set him up in the golden glow of romance. Frank Stockton, the novelist, dissents violently from these charming "por- trayals, He admiits Lafitte with reluc- tance into his ‘““Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coasts,” saying he was “so little of a pirate that it may be doubted whether or not he deserves a place in these stories of American pirates.” Having got in against the author’s wishes and judgment Lafitte is treated with scant consideration. respecting pirate would be mortitied to be accused of knowing no more about a ship than about making a sonnet, Lafitte, says Mr. Stockton, never committed an actual act of piracy in his life. The reported claim of Lafitte that he was a commander of privateers commissioned to hurt the British trade is presented. Mr. Stock- ton is so strongly opposed to the terror of the gulf as a bona fide pirate that he appears to go as far beyond the mark of strict accuracy as do the ad- n:irers of Lafitte. Last of Lafitte, Lafitte seems to have been a sourceful man, and not lacking humor. When the governor ot Louisiana offered a reward of $500 for his head the pirate chief re- sponded by offering $5,000 for Clai- borne’s head. This upon aathority of E. G. Littlejohn, who had an article. about the “Lord of Campeachy” in the Elite Magazine in 1907, The Red- house is said to have been the scene of many princely entertainments, Prizes were brought in Wwhile' these events were in progress ana doubloons were “as plentiful as bis- cuits.”” The capture of an American boat in Matagorda Bay in 1820 proved the undoing of the leader. The government sent a naval officer Lafitte with a message to get out for good. The envoy was lavishly enter- tained, but would not be dissuadea from his purpose. So Lafitte, after showering gold upon his followers, sailed away, and is said to have died in Yucatan in 1826, A history of Louisiana relates that the Lafittes, Jean and Pierre, were tried at New Orleans in connection with their depredations, and -that the United States district attorney re- signed to defend them. He was afraid to go after his fee when he had won the case, so sent his associate in the defense. The latter returned with $40,000 and glowing accounts of the Saratarian’s hospitality. It was a shame, he asserted, to “call honest and polished gentlemen. pirates.” Reference in this sketch is made to Gen. Jackson's hasty denunciation of the men he afterward praised as vrave soldiers. Jackson wrote in his “hellish banditti” proclamation: “Confident that any attempt to in- vade our soll will be repelled, the un- lersigned calls not upon pirates and robhers to join him in the glorious cause.” re- in Any selt- | to | WHITMAN TANGLE PLEASES COLONEL Roosevelt and Robinson Discuss Former’s Visit to Comnec:icut. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 14.—Charles S. Whitman was not officially desig- nated yesterday as a member of the exclusive organizatiion known as the Ananias club. In fact Colonel Roose- velt refused to discuss the letter the district attorney is alleged to have | written repudiating William Barnes, Jr., the republican state chairman, or give any information concerning the contents of the copy of the communi- cation said to Itave been submitted to him by Charles H. Duell, Jr., the ycung progressive leader, who has been endeavoring to gain the colonel's indorsement of Whitman’s candidacy for governor. Far From Disappointed. ‘When the subject was called to the Colonel's attention he seemed far from displeased that the secret had leaked out. He added that he had no knowledge of how the story of the rysterious letter, which Mr. Whitman insisted he did not write, reached the newspapers. The Colonel did not deny however, that a copy of the letter had been submitted fo him by Mr. Duell. It was learned from a high author- BILE AND BILIOUSNESS Bile is manufactured in the cells of the liver. It assists digestion and prevents putrefaction in the intestines. Bile is | necessary to life but excess of bile is poisonous. The effects of excessive secretion of bile and failure to eliminate it from the blood, which is also a function of the liver, are white-coated or brown-furred tongue, bit- ter taste in the mouth, indigestion, head- ache, lack of appetite, consupauon and weariness. { .

Dictated, Duell Told Colonel. Mr. Duell informed Colonel Roose- velt, it is said, that the original of the copy he brought to Oyster Bay was dictated by the district attorney about two weeks ago. It is said to Lave been addressed to Charles H. uell, Jr., and the six other incor- porators of the Whitman Non-Parti- san league. The best information obtainable here, since Roosevelt refuses to dis- cuss the matter, is that the colonel has only the word of Duell that the letter was written by the district at- torney. Roosevelt Is Aroused. Roosevelt refused to listen to the suggestions, said to have been made by Duell, that he refrain from at- tacking: the district attorney for mak- ing public his anti-Barnes pronounce- ment. at the eleventh hour. The colonel, it is said, sent word through Mr. Duell, who, so the story goes, represented himself as Mr. Whitman's envoy, that ne would refdise to “‘enter j into any deal or understanding of any kind.” Will Be “Goat.” Politicians are convinced that young Mr. Duell is in a fair way to be chosen ag the ‘“goat” in the letter mystery episode. On the other hand, it is pointed out, Colonel Roosevelt may see fit to cause the copy of the letter to be given to the newspapers with ar explanation of the overtures said to have been made by Mr. Duell, who was received as a representative of Mr. Whitman. Conference With Robinson. Following the publication in New York of the report of the existence of the letter, the authorship of which has been disclaimed by the district at- torney, the colonel's cousin, Theodore Douglas Robinson, progressive state chairman, came to Sagamore Hill tonight for a conference with Roose- velt. He was accompanied by his brother-in-law, Joseph W. Alsop, Con- necticut state chairman. Refuses to Comment. Colonel Roosevelt refused to com- ment on the report from Washington that he would appear before the sen- ate committee on foreign affairs in ccnnection with the pending Colom- bian treaty, It is known, however, that the colonel is willing to go be- fcre the senate committee at any time that his presence may be desired. It is the belief of the colonel's friends that he will not be given an opportunity to get his story of the acquisition of the canal zone before the senate committee until after con- gress reconvenes in December.

He said he did not discuss the matter with the colonel, AVIATORS MORE CONFIDENT. Boehm’s Record Foundation for Belief Porte Will Fly Over Ocean. New York, July 14.—The record made on. Saturday last Roehm at Johannisthal when he re- mained in the air for twenty-folr hours and twelve minutes and flew a distance of 1,350 miles, has caused members of the Aero club to feel more confident than ever that Lieu- tenant Porte will accomplish his pro- posed Atlantic flight in the alirboat America. Boehm used an ordinary biplane in his flight and the fact that it was not equipped for an endurance test is an indication, according to Henry Woodhouse, of the Aero club, that the America, with her special equipment, will be able to carry Lieutenant Porte to the Azores with- | ocut mishap. The route to be followed by Lieu- tenant Porte to the Azores is 1,140 miles, or some 210 miles less than the distance covered by Boehm. TWO NERVOUS WOMEN Made Well By Lydia E.

Washington, July 14.—Conserva- tianists in congress looked with inter- est today to the conference which haa been arranged to be held at the White House tonight, when efforts are to be made to smooth out difficulties over pending conservation legislation. President Wilson, members of the cabinet and members of the house planned to consider the pending Adamson general dam bill. The bill is designed to promote nav- igation on what are now, in the | gregate, thousands of miles of shoal streams with possibilities of power development attractive to private cap- itai but practically prohibitive to the | government if undertaken to promote navigation only. 4 | The plan is to grant permits for fifty year periods, for private con- | struction of dams and locks so as to | provide heads of water for genera- !tion of power and hydro-electricity | for power purposes for communities , needing light, fuel and power for manufacturing and other purposes, Representative-#erris and other op- ponents of the bill in its present | shape, with whom Secretary Lane is understood to be aligned, say the bill might leave a loophole for grants 'of perpetual rights to private capi- tal.
