" TREASURE-IS MYTH
Legends of Hidden Fortunes
Spread Among People.
EXCITMENT RUNS HIGH
Gigantic Hoax Perpetrated Vpon
Gullible Public by Schemer
Leads to Big Fiasco.
MONTEREY, Mex., Feb. 15. (Spe
cial.) Many millions of dollars In
gold and silver money and bullion,
church jewels and precious orna
ments, were buried in Mexico during
the long revolutionary period. Stories
already are being told of the search
for stores of this hidden wealth In
out-of-the-way places.
It Is expected that many strange
legends will grow out of the hiding
away of wealth to prevent It from
Jailing into the hands of revolution
ists and bandits, and that these
etories will be added to the many
of a similar kind that have long
teen current In Mexico.
Of the many legends of burled
treasure in Mexico none is more re
markable than that concerning Fran
cisco Fernandez Pelliter and his get-rich-quick
scheme to recover alleged
hidden wealth on the top of Mount
Orizaba in the barranca of Texmalaca.
Bis Scheme In Launched.
Pelliter had resided in the town of
Orizaba for many years and was well
known In that locality. . Up to the
time the treasure trove inspiration
struck him he had lived the ordinary
life of a quiet and law-abiding citi
zen. How long he had had his
Startling plan in mind is not known.
But when he decided to let the
public know of the vast treasure
which, according to his announce
ment, was buried in a certain spot
on Mount Orizaba, he conducted the
campaign with a thoroughness and
farsightedness which bespoke a saga
ciousness not hitherto suspected by
the people of his community.
He proclaimed far and wide that
Jio had come into possession of plans,
documents and papers which located,
without doubt, the place where a vast
treasure in silver, gold and precious
gems had been hidden by robbers
who had taken it from one of the
convoys which, in the Spanish days.
made their way from the coast to
the capital. This treasure, he as
serted, was hidden on Mount Orizaba,
In the barranca of Texmalaca.
Story Is Believed Readily.
So earnest was the man in his
assertions and so upright and honor
able had his past life been, that the
story was believed readily. It spread
from one end of the country to the
other. Pelliter soon found himself
famous.
He then announced that he would
organize a joint stock company. The
Immediate and enthusiastic response
to his appeal for subscribers showed
the intense interest that had been
aroused in the reputed treasure. He
had no difficulty in floating the
issues; in fact he could have sold
many more. People in all walks of
life, rich and poor, conservative
business men and adventurers, vied
with each other -for the opportunity
to share the supposed great wealth
with the promoter. How much
money Pelliter secured from these
gullible folks was never known, but
It was believed to be considerable.
After the shares had been disposed
of an expedition was organized to go
in search of the treasure. Five hun
dred workmen, with a complete ex
cavating outfit, were engaged. . To
protect the laborers and to maintain
order the rurales of that district
were sent 'to the scene of the pro
posed excavations. '
Message 'tells of Discovery.
Expectation and enthusiasm ran
high among the stockholders and
others, buf the excitement of the
people knew no bounds" when one
night some time after the fortune
hunting expedition set out for the
barranca, an Indian runner dashed
breathless into town with a message
which read:
"Treasure discovered. Workmen
have mutinied and turned upontheir
bosses, have murdered them and
seized the treasure. Send help
once."
News of the reported discovery of
the treasure and the massacre soon
spread to the neighboring towns and
from thence it was rapidly dissemi
nated to the capital, and to the
villages throughout the valley of
Mexico, causing consternation among
almost the entire citizenship of the
country.
Upon receiving the urgent message
delivered by the Indian, the com
mander of the garrison at Orizaba
hurriedly assembled his troops for
Immediate and rapid departure to the
scene of the reported tragedy, a dis
tance of about 12 miles. There was
much excitement and many conjec
tures among the soldiers on this ex-
. traordmary journey, as well as a
natural desire to obtain a share of
j the booty themselves. For the most
part the road was up the side of a
great mountain peak, and the men
were almost exhausted by the time
they reached their destination.
Reported Tragedy Proves Fake.
On nearlng the place their fears
as to the fate of the men who had
been reported murdered apparently
were confirmed. No sound was
heard, no watchfire burning, not a
sentry on duty, and no movement
of any kind observed. Daylight was
just beginning to dawn when the
soldiers approached the barranca,
expecting to find the bodies of the
slain men. But to their surprise
there was no indication that a
struggle had taken place. It was
then thought that the mutinous peons
had buried the bodies of their vic
tims to hide their crime. This theory
was dispelled, however, on further
search, when the relief party found
every one asleep and no one injured.
Meanwhile the people of -Orizaba
Awaited anxiously the return of a
messenger bringing news of the ex
tent of the treasure found and the
number of men who had fallen vic
tims to the cupidity of the peons.
The wildest .excitement prevailed.
Between hope of the amount of
wealth they were about to realize
from their investment and fear that
tne peon laborers -had escaped with
It all. the investors were not a little
worried.
When the soldiers returned and

reported that the story of the mutiny i
and massacre was a hoax, and that I
no trace of any treasure had been
found, great relief was felt as to the
safety of the' men and disappoint
ment over the fact that the vast
store of wealth was not yet within
their grasp. No one doubted, how
ever, the existence of the treasure
and that it would be ultimately
located.
, Treasure Never Recovered.
Excavations went on steadily, the
workmen making an immense hole in
the side of the mountain. Pelliter
had said that his chart indicated that
a huge hand had been carved upon
the face of a rock, pointing with
outstretched index finger in the ex
act measurements and distance from
the hand, which, had been cut into
the rock by the robbers so that they
could without difficulty find their
treasure again.
The measurements had been taken
and on the spot were found a pile
of loose stones as though they had
been thrown there to mark the place.
The reputed treasure was never re
covered, though excavations continued
to be made from time to time for
many years.
I 15 PRO
SECRETARY WEEKS ASKS FOR
LUMP APPROPRIATION.
Ruthless Slacking of Allowances
Might Hamper Administra
tion, Says Secretary.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 20. As
surance that the war department, if
granted lump sum appropriations,
would make a record for economy
during the coming fiscal year was
given today by Secretary Weeks . to
the house sub-committee that is fram
ing the army appropriation bill.
Discussing before the sub-committee
in executive session the financial
needs of the army as represented by
the budget bureau estimates sub
mitted to congress, the war secretary
was understood to have expressed the
belief that the expenditures of certain
bureaus could be decreased consider
ably. Ruthless slashing by congress for
various activities with stipulations
that certain sums should be used for
specified purposes, the secretary was
said to have told the committee, might
prove so restrictive as to hamper eco
nomical administration of the army.
While Mr. Weeks was said to have
expressed the positive belief that a
formidable saying could be made by
his department, it was declared that
he refrained from specifying 'any
amount that could be saved.
The secretary was said to have re
iterated his belief that provision
should be made for an enlisted
strength of 160,000 men and to have
expressed vigorous opposition to sug
gestions that the number of men in
the army be scaled down to 100,000 or
li'5.ouo.
He was also said to have contended
that an officer strength of 14,000 was
needed to be reached during the com
ing fiscal year by the discharge of
inefficient officers and the commis
sioning of a number of officers in the
lower ranks.

ACCUSED NEGRO IS FREED
Murder Innocence Declared While
Under Influence of Drug.
DALLAS, Tex., Feb. 20. Ed Smith,
negro, who while under influence of
scopalamin administered by physi
cians in a scientific experiment, reit
erated many times his innocence of
murder with which he was charged
was released from the county jail
today. '
Smith had been in jail six months.
When he heard that physicians were

First riiyslcian to Reach Rhodes
Home Reports Higher Percent
age of Strychnine Found.
CHEHALIS, Wash:, Feb. 20. (Spe
cial.) Deputy Coroner Weissinger to
day took the liver and stomach of 11-year-old
Verda Rhodes to Seattle,
where Dr. C. W. Johnson, head of the,
school of pharmacy In the University
of Washington, and state chemist,
will endeavor further to unravel the
mystery of the wholesale poisoning of
th five children of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward Rhodes of Bolstfort Saturday,
February 11.
The body was disinterred yesterday,
the mass of flowers on the grave
where the five were buried together
being removed to make this possible.
Dr. G. H. Dow of Chehalls and Dr.
David Livingstone of Centralia per
formed an autopsy.
Following the analysis last week
eff the contents of the broken pack
age from which Mrs., Rhodes said she
took the supposed salts which were
given to the children " and which
proved to carry 10 per cent strych
nine, and the later analysis of the
stomach of another one of the girls,
it was found that an examination of
the liver and stomach of another
child must be made to clear up the
matter more fully. It is now hoped
to effect this result when Deputy
Weissinger's mission shall have been
fully carried out.
Inquest tp Be Wednesday.
Yesterday Dr. Johnson made a
chemical analysis of the broken pack
age, which Professor William Dehn
of the university found carried 10 per
cent strychnine. Dr. Johnson had
not made any report up to tonight.
Holding of the inquest in the case
will begin at 9:30 o'clock Wednesday
morning in this city, according to Dr.
David Livingstone, Lewis, county
coroner. Sheriff Roberts and County
Attorney Allen have made trips into
the Boistfort section almost daily in
the hope of uncovering something
that would give a clew to the solving
of the tragedy, but thus far without
announced success.
"Mr. Allen stated tonight that he
does not expect a report on the stom
ach and liver analyses that are now
under way until the end of the week,
at the earliest. He has just received
an interesting report from Seattle,
giving the result of the analysis of
a spoonful or more of the contents of
the Epsom salts box taken from tbe
top of the box by Dr. J. M. S.eicher,
the first physician to reach the
Rhodes home.
Poison Declared Higher.
The Sleicher sample is reported tc j
have contained a much heavier i
strychnine content than the bulk of i
the box, which ranged from 1 to 10 j
per cent strychnine. The fact that
the Sleicher sample was taken from
the top of the box before the package
had been handled and its contents
mixed together Would go to show
that strychnine must have been
poured into the top of the open box.
it was said.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Rhodes, parents of
the children, Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Rhodes, grandparents; Dr. J. M.
Sleicher, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Round-
tree, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Roundtree
have been subpenaed to appear as
witnesses before the coroner's jury.
S80.000 OPTION MAY FAIL
CRATER LAKE COMPANY UN
ABLE TO RAISE MONEY.
In Event of Failure Concessions
Revert to Parkhurst, Who
May Not Operate Them.
MEDFORD. Or.. Feb. 20. (Special.)
From the best information obtain
able here, unless something in the
way of a miracle happens before
March 1, the Crater Lake company,
which last season operated the Crater
lake concessions on an agreement
with Alfred L. Parkhurst and spent
$20,000 . in making improvements at
the Crater Lake lodge, with the
option of taking over the concessions
from Parkhurst for 8U.0U0, will not
exercise that option and will turn
the concessions back to Parkhurst.
Reports have been in circulation
for some time past that Portland,
Medford and other stockholders of
the Crater Lake company would be
unable to raise the $80,000 for the
March i payment, and this situation
was confirmed by Vernon W. Vawteri
an officer of the company, whoare-
turnea sunaay rrom i'ortiana, wnere
he conferred with Eric Hauser and
Mr. Price, other officials of the com;
pany.
This gives a ' peculiar outlook at
present as to operation, of the Crater
lake concessions for the coming sea
son, as Stephen Mather, national di
rector of parks, whose enmity to Mr.
Parkhurst for several years Is well
known, has said within the past year
that his department would never
allow Parkhurst to operate the con
cessions again.

Rheumatism is caused bv uric acid

also a means of freeing the blood of

cold weather the skin oores are
closed thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
uric acid which keeps accumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, loreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism

TO HELP YOU PUT ON FLESH
AND INCREASE YOUR WEIGHT,
Yeast Vitamine Tablets should be usrd in
connection with orfmnic Nuxated Iron. With
out orpinic iron, both food and Vitaniines are
absolutely useless, as your body cannot chanfte
inert, lifeless food into living ceils and tissue
unless you have plenty of organic iron in ycur
blood. Oriranic iron takes up oxygen from your
lurigrs. This oxytrenated oreanic iron unites
with your digested for as it is absorbed into
your blood just as Are unites with coal or
wood, and by so doin? it creates tremendous
power and energy. Without organic iron in
your blood your food merely passes thru your
body without doing you any good.
Arrangements have been made with the
druggists of this city to give every reader of
th's paper a large 11.00 package of Genuine
Yeast Vitamine Tablets absolutely free with
