Mile -- Pearce Defaulted St. Catharines, Aug. 1. Sweeping oarsmen and scullers from coast to coast started the arnual classic for Canadian row- ing honors on the old Welland Cznal at Port Dalhousie yestar- day. With a new grandstand and a new course the 49th Royal Henley opened in auspicious man- ner and the first part of a three- day program was run off with a succession of Interesting and strange happenings. The major event of the day was won by Joe Wright Jr., den of the Argonaut Club, when ho pulled his shell to victory in tle quarter-mile dash scramble. Bob "Pearce, winner of the Diamond Sculls this year and undefeated fa his world assault on sculling honors, defaulted before the sprint test and robbed the event of its main feature. Wright did net have everything his own way with Bill Miller, the American champion, and Garret Gilmore giving him a keen struggle to the finish. . The 140-pound junfor eight caused a mild sensation when De- troit, after pulling to the finish, was disqualified for having senior men in the boat, and the race was awarded to Lachine, with Lean- ders third. Later in the evening the C.A. of A.O. revised the deci. sion and the race will be re-row- ed on Friday with the Michigan crew having only eligible men, The re-rowing of the race gives St. Catharines and Argonauts a chance to Sopets, for they wera not included tn get to the mark in time, Origin of Icebergs | : Menace of Atlantic (By The Canadian Press) | Manchester, Aug. ¥ -- Robert Neat Rudmose-Brown, head of ed oat Shatte Apr Manchester Guard 8 Atlantic," agi A all of land origin, and am the seaward Sua have ved: o re Th Ducyiner of Dry as the glacier has flowed out- wards and downwards from its the start, falling ~ summer on they become rar- er; until in the darkest months of She, year are few in number. : passing th along th t of New- undland, ntially it is in- founditn bo num varying from 100 to 1,000 in the course of a year, with an increase of 300 to 400.

'""The annual variation in the number of bergs and the date of their arrival has been attributed to many causes, This year agsin the lack of bergs has brought the question into prominence. Of course, as usual, the influence of the Gulf Stream has been invok- ed, but there are other causes that may be equally of more po- tent in this respect. The passage of the bergs begins when summer conditions in the North not only allow calving to take place from the ends of the glaciers, but also liberate the bergs that have been imprisoned in the sea-ice during the winter. A prolonged winter season of firm-sea-ice Would pre- vent the usual generation of bergs. This is what normally hap- ens in the far North of Green- and. Another possibility is in- voylved in the suggestion that an unusually large number of ,bergs stranded in shallow water off the coast of Labrador and so been checked in their passage south."

The Administration made 'its views known through an official White House statement, issued just after the Cabinet meeting, which declared : " "No member of the Admirfistra- tion has expressed the view or holds the view that the policy of the Ad- ministration in advocating mainten- ance of wages should be changed. It has not been changed." . It is understood the White House statement was evoked by publica- tion Monday of a letter written by Commerce Secretary R. P, ont declaring that some corporations are faced with the alternatives of shutting down or secking tempor- ary wage reductions, owever, a presidential secretary asked what was the occasion for the statement, said inquiries would have to draw their own conclisions. President Hoover cancelled his semi-weekly press conference, scheduled for yesterday. Cabinet members said wage gutting was not discussed at their meeting. Lamont was out of the city. Before the White House state- ment was issued, Labor Secretary Doak made an emphatic declaration to newspaper men that "the Admin- istration is opposed to wage cut- ting. "Officials here were concerned as to whether the U, S. Steel an- nouncement meant that "adjuse- ments" of compensation were to be restricted to the "so-called "white lar" employes, or might be ex- tended to the workers in the mills. From an authoritative source came the information that the ministration has been in touch with Steel Company officials and has ury- ed maintenance of wage levels at all costs. One well informed official said yesterday he interpreted the Steel Company statement t6 mean there be no wage cuts employes on other than a monthly sai ry basis. 3 that view proves to be well-founded, he said, the 'result has been as favo could be hoped for. He a if the Steel Company should eut p th would wages e 'become "very serious" because of the likelihood of pyramiding wage cuts in other industries. : indust Mr, Hoover's. here after the rash le 'as | ed that |. PARIS GOLD HC HEAVILY GUARDED Earth, Water, Secret Locks "+ and 25 Men Protect Treasure Ay : Paris.~-Hundreds of -feet below the streets of Paris, in the strong- est fortress that man has ever de- vised, lies the incredible fortune of $2,250000,000 in glitte gold-- France's jelous ed and guarded gold reserve. By an extraordinary mixing of my own "incognito" with that of a famous French colonial ruler I have just been. allowed to descend for a couple of hours into the fastnesses of this mystery stronghold which only a few highly-placed bank offi- s, one or two Kings and Royal princes and a small number of very famous men have ever seen, writes a reporter in the London Sunday Chronicle. . No other newspaperman has been allowed to know the secrets of this underground fortress. But I was escorted through its passages and strong-rooms, and permitted to see and handle the shining ingots of yellow metal, the kegs full of sov- ereigns, Napoleons, gold dollars and other famous mint pieces of the world. I had a close-up view of the enor- mous accumulation of bullion and ingots which form the "metallic re- serve" of the Bank of France. Ui ortress The "fortress" is entirely built be- low ground under an open space of land adjoining the Bank of France in the Rue de la Croix des Petits Champs, For years thousands of workmen have labored in digging an immense hole to a depth of a hundred and sixty feet; then, instead of striking solid rock, they were met with a fairly good-sized pond made by a little river which runs underground from Montmartre into the Seine. Work was suspended, the pond was temporarily drained by divert- ing the river and fresh excavations were started below the bed of the water, with, the result that another 30 feet were bored into solid rock. Walls 22 Feet Thigk In this last gigantic cave is built the collossal chamber which con- tains the treasure. Its walls are 22 feet thick, and they are of solid cement and steel. The chamber has been provided with a fresh top and the water has been allowed to form a new pool. In this way the "fortress" is not only protected by 120 feet of solid earth but also by 30 feet of water, which can at will be made to flood the treasure in case of need, There could be no safer spot. Bombs could never reach such an enormous depth and even if a mob or an invading army could penetrate the fortress a turn of the tap would be enough to drown a whole army. Twenty-five men are on guard day and night, and an elaborate system of signals enables them. to detect any attempt to an unauth- orised entry into the "fortress." Treasure Planes At the touch of a stall electric bell on the third floor below the ground, the last massive block of steel which closes this extraordin- ary Eldorado slides on a small rail- way track and opens a narrow space of 4 feet by 8 feet, which is the only entrance to the treasure. If the toibiriation of locks is wrong no mechanical effort can disclose the treasure, Gold is usually dispatched to France by fast acroplanes, whose pilots are trusted men, well armed, and with instructions to fire on any- one approaching thg 'plane in case of forced landing. Air transport has been proved to be the cheapest and the safest for gold shipments, ANCIENT BURIED (ITY FOUND IN CENTRAL AMERICA Lost City Is Found By Ex- plorers in Jungle of Honduras Montreal, July 30--Buried in the jungle of Honduras, riven by earth- quakes and guarded by hosts of venomous reptiles. and lies a city oldér than any other yet Tound in Central America. So old is it that F. Mitchell-Hedges, explorer for the British Museum, believes it to be the origin from which the later Mayan and Aztec cultures sprang; and he believes the country round about it to | one of the ancient cradles of man- RD 27: be | Lubaantun, whom he has' worked for the past 17 years, was in the Windsor Hatel. spending a holiday now, but next January will be returning to the ancient city, whose location he keeps guarded jealously. Not Dream Cit, It is no dream city; of that Mr, Mitchell-Hedges has already shown proof, for last year he brought to the Museum of the American In- dian over 1000 pieces of pottery. fr ts of tools and weapons, and om ornameits from the ruins of the ancient city. Scientists have studied these. They have found them to differ entirely from the relics of other Indian civilizations discovered in the jungles of Central erica. "It is old," Mr. Mitchell-Hedges |b admitted guardedly when question- ed about his find. "It is so old that there are not even any date stones to be found in it, as far as I can say. There are no carvings of the feathered serpent god the Mayans whose cities we have dated back to 600 B.C. It is older than any of these. . "Do you know," he warmed u to the subject, "I'm a little dif- fident about speaking of this be- cause it seems so extraordinary. There is a wall about the city. In- side there are two mounds. And these mounds have stones about tiem---exac tly like Stonehenge! eory "Nothing like it has yet been found in the three Americas." The most often expressed opinion about the origin of Indians in Am- erica is that they migrated to this continent in the dim ages of the past from somewhere in Asia. And so the interviewer asked Mr. Mit- chell-Hedges whether he believed the culture he has found to be in- digenous, or to be something Dionght there by a wandering peo- ple. "I know the argument," he shot back at the questioner. "I know it. But how could a nomadic peo- le have developed so great a owledge of sculpture, painting, astronomy as we find in the ruins therk? It is impossible to credit it. 'Do you know what we owe the Mayans and Aztecs, last of the chain of conquerors living in Cen- tral 'America he asked. "Think it over. We got our cotton, our chocolate, our maize, our tobacco, our indigo, quinine, potatoes, co- 'caine, beans and many other things from them, directly or indirectly. "How do you suppose these etables were turned to house- id uses except through so old a continuous culture asto make that of Europe pale into insignificance. I believe that Centsal America is one of the cradles of the human race, and I think that the city I have discovered is perhaps the focus of the culture which spread north and south from it' Strange Happenings Strange things have happened on the site of this ancient city, ac- cording to Mr. Mitchell- Hedges, Earthquakes have torn and tossed the masorary walls. They have open- ed great cracks through the old city. They have elevated portions of it and turned others over. The work of 'destruction has b-en aided by the jungle plants whose fast growing roots have torn to pieces what other' structures there were built of stones. "It's a weir wi , sort of place" Mr. Mitchell-Hedges said reminiscently. "There is a three-acre patch of land, that is a lot like that 'Lost World' that Conanwrote about. "On this patch there are gigantic lizards with a spine that makes them look as if great combs for the hair are growing out of their back bones. They are seven feet long," he continued. . "They must have been cut off from the rest of the world for thousands of years, for I cannot otherwise understand how they can 'have developed in such fashion." "You mean they're not pre-his- toric?" the reporter asked. "No,----not in. a sense," Mr. Mitchell-Hedges replied. "They have grown to their immense size, I be- lieve, simple through the operation of the law of survival of the fittest. Only the biggest ones bred each year, and only the biggest survived. And now they're seven footers and as feyorcicos as alligators. Animal Life, according to the ex- plorer, thas altogether received peculiar stimulation along that part of the Caribbean from which he will make entrance to his secret ctiy next January. "I have caught turtles there which were 11 feet long from front to back and over 'nine feet in width," he said, have found crabs three feet across, and in the lagoons towards the interior there are crawfish that are five feet long." And then the explorer was onee ote. diseyseing his Arh He has ad experience in j ng the age of the old walled towns buried un- der the jungle of Honduras and Yucatan. - For 17 years he has been collecting specimens for the British and other museums. In 1924 he was one of the co-discoverers of oldest Maya city in Britian Hond: whose. site has entirely n over by the Museum now. "The only clue I have so far i \ found to the age of this new city is a stronge one," he confessed. I have found statuettes, about 18 in- ches high, buried in the ground wien 1 dog Aon g ihe ruins. Now not et that they were gran- ite, gn I touched th 1 found that parts of them had be- come as soft as toothpaste; that they had turned to clay, A geolo- gist could - tell you more about their age, than I can" There are other strange things t this ancient city, as Mr. Mitchell-Hedges confessed. There are great limestone caves under and around the city. Many of them have of course, been filled by earthquake subsidences, buf many are still left. And these have man- cut shafts going down into their lackness from what formerly was the great city. No I have not been down one of them," the explorer admitted. "But I shall be down next January. They may just be storage chambers for grain and so forth--but 'they may e something better, too. I am in hope that I shall find burial vaults there, And if 1 do, why we shall know 'something about this people | before I have done." ! Accompanying Mr. Mitchell-Hed- ges on his holiday trip to Murray Bay, where he will stay at the home of Dr. Charles Comac, is his secretary, Miss Jane Harvey Houl- + son, who has followed the explorer from her British Museum offices to mary strange sites in jungle and on sea-shore, "Half the women envy me, and the other half pity me," Miss Houl- son admitted cheerfully, when ques- tioned.
