PRACTICE ORDERED FOR
STANFORD “U” SQUAD
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.,
Sept. 13 (by Associated Press).—Can
didates for the 1920 Stanford univer
sity football team have been ordered
by Head Coach Walter I. Powell and
Captain A. P. Holt to report for open
ing practice September 15. Although
Stanford has lost many members of
the 1919 ’varsity, Powell and Holt
think they will have material for a
winning eleven.
JT Captain Holt, according to early re
ports, has not recovered entirely from
injuries received playing last season.
4 He is expected, however, to be able
to take his old place in the backfield.
Two ’varsity football players, J. C.
Patrick and C. R. Righter, are with the
California team at the Antwerp Olym
pic games but are expected to return
in time to play in all the games. Pat
rick, it is believed, will be fullback
this year. Righter was center on the
1919 eleven.
Stanford’s backfield ranks will be
strengthened by the addition of R. W.
Arnett, a former army player who has
been mentioned by eastern sport writ
ers for the All-American eleven. A
prospect for tackle, Howard Deems,
has transferred from Occidental col
lege, Los Angeles, and will be eligible
here this year.

SEARCHERS FOR
BURIED SILVER
DISAPPOINTED
GALVESTON, Texas, Sept. 13 (by
Associated Press).—Searchers after
buried silver on the mainland opposite
Pete Island, 18 miles southeast of Cor
pus Christi, Tex., probably are to be
doomed to disappointment, in the opin
ion of Dr. J. O. Dyer, a local writer
on historical and scientific subjects.
The rush of treasure seekers began
with the discovery recently of 25
skeletons popularly believed by many
to be those of members of the crew
of a Spanish treasure ship which
foundered off the Texas coast early
in the eighteenth century. No record
is available of any such wreck.
The “life” of a skeleton, Dr. Dyers
points out. is not over 40 years.
He says also treasure ships from
Mexico to Spain were discontinued
after 1820, partly because of the ac
tivities of Jean Laffite’s fleet of buc
caneers.
Even before that time the Spaniards
tried to avoid excessive losses from
storms and Laffite’s fleet of buccan
eering vessels and 50 Spaniards trans
ported less than 20 tons of silver to
the vessel. Then, the current rate in
Mexico was approximately $10 a troy
pound. The most valuable of all of
Laffite’s prizes, the Sevilla, carried
only $150,000 in specie.
Laffite’s captured treasure, accord
ing to the records extant, was buried
in three caches. Two of these were
located on Galveston island and the
third on a small island to the east,
which was completely washed away
during the storm in 1829.
There have been many reports of
the discovery on this coast of caches
of coin or chests from trading ships
containing from $1,000 to $15,000.
PLAN ADOPTED
MANY STATES
CHICAGO, Sept. 13 (by Associated
Press).—Wisconsin leads the states
in the number of uniform acts that
it has adopted as put forth by the
national conference of commissioners
on uniform state laws, according to a
summary by E. A. Gilmore of Madison,
Wis., secretary of the conference.
Of 30 uniform acts submitted by the
commissioners, Wisconsin has adopt
ed 21. Massachusetts stands next
with 12.
Wisconsin is also the first state to
enact all the legislation relative to
marriage and divorce drawn by the
commissioners.
The uniform law which has been
most favored is the negotiable instru
ments act. This has been adopted in
all jurisdictions except Georgia and
Porto Rico.
Two proposed uniform acts have not
as yet been adopted by any state.
They are the table of weights and I
measures and the insurance policies
act. j
More legislation dealing with mar:|
riage and divorce has been proposed
than on any other subject. Action
by states on these acts follows:
Migratory divorce act, adopted by
one; divorce procedure act, adopted
by Delaware; marriage license act, by
Massachusetts; marriage evasion act,
by Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Vermont; annulment of marriage and
divorce act, by Delaware and New
Jersey.
A uniform family desertion act has
been adopted by Alabama, Kansas,
North Dakota, Massachusetts, Missis
sippi, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Ver
mont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and
Wyoming.
The flag law submitted by the con
ference has been enacted in Arizona,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Washing
ton and Wisconsin.
It is estimated that rats take toll of
$35,000,000 every year in New York,
and other cities inclined to criticize
would better look up their own rat
bills, first.
