Man Who Promised to Lead
Group to Hidden Vaults of
Lost Race in Cascades
Fails to Keep Date
STOCKTON. Oallf., June 20. (UP)
A group of 80 Stockton residents
today abandoned hope of finding the
treasury vaults In the Cascade moun
tains of the "Lost Race of Lemurla."
They gave up their plan to aearch
for the treasury caves when J. C.
Brown, 19, self-styled geologist, mys
tic and their leader, failed to return
as he promised In a glass-bottom boat
which was to have carried the ex
pedition to the northern mountains.
When the group had waited for 13
hours, police were asked to search for
Brown. The party related his tales
of an ancient, giant race and its
burled riches.
It was revealed that for more than
alx weeks, Stockton men and women
had been growing Increasingly more
enthusiastic over Brown's weird tale.
Many lelt Jobs to Join the band of
treasure seekers Brown organized.
Others sold their household furniture
and personal belongings to raise funds
for their part in the expedition.
. Brown first told his story to Stock
ton newspapermen, who Introduced
him to Harry Noyes Pratt, curator of
the Haggln Memorial Museum and
Art Gallery here. Later he was In
troduced to John O. Boot, retired
printer, and the Root home became
the meeting place for the growing
band.
Brown told his eager listeners that
while working for the Lord Cowdray
Mining company of London In 1804
he discovered a tunnel in the Csscade
mountains. The sides of the tunnel
were lined with tempered copper and
relics of gold, he said, and opened
Into gold filled rooms.
The tunnel floors, Brown averred,
were strewn with the skeletons of the
giant race of "Lemurla."
The start for the fabled land waa
set for today. Brown left his credu
lous followers and promised to return
with a surprise. The group waited
In vain.
Police were puzzled at the motive
for Brown's tall story. He collected
no money from his followers. He
first appeared here at a federal shel
ter two months ago.

To Address Ahiinnt
Mr. Roosevelt expected to leave for
New London aboard the yacht Se-!
quota after addressing the Yale i
graduates at their annual alumni j
luncheon. I
President Roosevelt was hailed as
"a man of today" by William Lyon !
Phelps and a "brave leader" by Pres- j
Ident Angell In receiving his degree.
Presenting the chief executive, Pro-
feasor Phelps said:
"As a leader of the people Presi
dent Roosevelt might be described
as exactly the opposite of Fablus the
Cuncutator. Former presidents have
had congress on their hands; Frank
lin Roosevelt has congress In his
hands. Many persons had begun to
wonder if it were possible for a na
tional legislature in troubulous times
to function wisely or indeed to func
tion at all; the principle of democ
racy was seriously questioned. But '
the new president had been in office
only two weeks when the phrase most i
often heard in both houses waa 'the !
ayes have it.' Things began to hap- j
pen and the city of Washington be- '
came an object of intense national j
and international Interest. The pres- i
ldent has done more to make the
first page of newspapers interesting
than any other president in time of
peace. We do not know what will
happen In the next two- years; but
we do know it will be interesting."
loan shares becomes effective almost
Immediately, a percentage' assessment
on each building and loan associa
tion will provide the Insurance fund.
Third, various divisions of the FHA
will be set up. One will insure
mortgages on new homes up to 80
per cent of their appraised value The
Insurance fund will be subscribed by
home owners as a regular portion of
their payments on mortgages. The
mortgages may run as long as 30
years. Another division will set up
a similar insurance fun for low cost
dwellings, such as large apartment
houses. Still another division will
supervise a fund for insuring old
mortgages. In this case an old mort
gage may be refinanced if It repre
sents 70 per cent of the appraised
value.
Fourth, national mortgage associa
tions will be Incorporated tinder fed
eral charter. Funds for them will
be largely furnished by private
sources, and they will deal In mort
gages. They may buy a group of
mortgages and then issue to Invest
ors bonds secured by the mortgages.
Thus, officials ay, funds will become
available to locality which have
money frozen In mortgages.
Unable to attend the meeting of
the Medford Gleemen, because of ill
ness, James Stevens, director for the
chorus was pleasantly surprised Ust
evening when the men went to his
Tenth street home, and serenaded
him, singing several numbers. Mr.

ones to enjoy the music, for the
neighbors, hearing the Qleemen, came
out and formed a small audience.
Following their presentation, the
Qleemen returned to the courthouse. ,
and conducted election of officers.

How Old Are Your Pillows?
Most people have the idea that "Bed Pil
lows" never wear out. There never was
any greater fallacy.
Think of the unnanltnry condition of a pillow that people have been
breathing Into for a period of years. After several years' use, the
feathers In any pillow become brittle and break. Old pillows become
flattened and do not permit proper sleep. ,
