Coin Bnried to Keep Lazy Kin folk From Getting It, Document Says, finder Told Bow to Dlar It Up. CENTR ALIA. Wash., Jan. 25. (Spe cial.) "This is a will of my own con struction and, as a man of good health and sound mind, do I, W. F. Bryan, col ored give and bequeath to the finder of this will one-half of a half-gallon glass jug full of gold coin, which lies buried five feet deep and SO feet east of the section corner of my old home stead. The finder must publish this before any work begins on its recov ery, but the finder must get another party to dig for it and the digger gets one-half. I do this to keep my lazy klnfolk from getting it. If they make any fuss about it after it is found, give them $1 each. There is also another jucful bnried a few rods west of the old dwelling house. I can't locate it. however, as the mark is lost. Dated this 2d day of October, 1888. (Signed) W. F. Bryan." According to an unsigned letter re ceived by the Centralia Daily Chronicle yesterday the above testament was found by the writer under a sill of an old house on the W. V. Miller home stead on the east side of the city. It is apparent that the finder desires to conceal his identity, and at the same time fulfill the terms of the will by publishing the testament. It is expect ed that the east side will resemble a -old rush as the result of its publica tion. Bryan, who Is well remembered by the old residents of Centralia, died In the early '90s. Allan Miller, a present resident of Centralia. was a nephew ot Mrs. Bryan, who died about six weeks ago. BONDS HELD UP BY FIGHT King; County Commissioner's Elec tion Is Vet in Contest. -.A l l lh..

MEASURE AIDS SUFFRAGE Resolution Bases Representation on Total Vote. WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. A resolu tion for an amendment to the Const! ution which would base representa tion in Congress on the actual voting strength of the various states has been introduced in the Senate by Senator I'oindexter. Mr. Polndexter proposes to amend the second section of the Four tctnth Amendment to the Constitution by striking out the word 'male'" where It occurs. That section of the amend ment as it now stands recognizes the principle of employing vouus strength nnnmrnn urn t as a measure of representation in Con gress. .... Senator Polndexter asked that this amendment, together with a second one introduced by him amending the Fif teenth Amendment to provide that the right to vote shall not be denied on account of sex be referred to the Sen ate committee on woman suffrage. Vice-President Marshall ruled that resolutions for constitutional amend ments would be referred to the commit tee on Judiciary, although a motion to change the reference would be in or der. Senator Poindexter then asked unanimous consent that the amend ments be referred to the committee on woman suffrage, but Senator James, of Kentucky, objected. The effect of Senator Poindexter's amendment would be to make a reduc tion of representation effective in states where women are denied the right to vote. A complete basis for representation, under the terms of his resolution, exists only in the 11 West ern states in which women enjoy rights of suffrage Identical with those of men.
