Failure to Unearth Great Treas
ureS in British Columbia
THEY WORKED BY A CHART
The Searching Party Hunted for Two
Days and Rested
II Is Supposed That There Are Thousands of
Dollars in Spot Near Where
Miser Lived

Victoria, B. c., March disappointed,
but by no means disheartened over their
attempts to locate the great treasure
buried by Nicholson, the miser, twenty
years ago, the gold seekers of Mayne
Island, after two hard days prospecting
are resting and recognizing. Henry Chap
man, the oldest settler on the island, has
been selected as leader Of the little band
of fifty enthusiastic shovelmen, and when
on Thursday they resume operations they
will, by his instruction follow explicitly
the directions of dream.
A week or so after the miser's death,
when all the neighborhood was prospect
ing his humble estate for the hidden gold,
Chapman had vision to this effect: He
was standing, he dreamed, near the door
of the little mud house which had been
the hermit miners home, when the old
man himself came from within, and with
finger on his lip to command silence,
whispered, Follow me; will reveal to you
my secret treasure house; but you must
not disclose it"
Then he led the curious neighbor away
through the garden and into an orchard.
Taking him to the last row of apple trees,
e miser stopped. 'kneel down." he
said to his companion, and the latter did
so. When he looked up the old man had
disappeared The friend thought no more
about the matter the treasure or the
dream, until very recently, whom, in an
other dream, the old man again appeared
to him, and directed him with some show
OF displeasure to the very spot at which in
the former vision he had left him kneel-
ing. The incidents of the first dream
were then re-enacted with curious fidelity,
and the peculiar circumstance so i'm
pressed itself upon the dreamer that he at
once decided that the mystic guide should
be obeyed. He has accordingly organized
the present search, and is himself direct
ing it. There is no doubt that Nicholson
had at the time of his death large sum
of gold, which hvs never been accounted
for. The majority of residents of the
island believe it is buried somewhere on
the farm that once was his.

THE HAYWARD CASE
Trial of the Alleged Murderer of Hiss Cling
Nearly Ended

Minneapolis, March Erwin resumed
his long effort before the jury for the life
of Harry Hayward this morning. 1t de-
veloped that in case of conviction, conf
IDENTIFY expected by the state, immediate
sentence will be moved. The defense has
made every preparation for stay and ap-
peal. Erwin is expected to finish at
this afternoon and if he does so, Judge
Smith will at once charge the jury. Not
third of the crowd applying for admis-
sion this morning got into the room,
which was packed to suffocaton. Erwin
attacked the testimony of Blixt, which he
admitted was the very focal point OF the
case. 1t was full of most furious contra
dictions and inconsistencies, and UNI
worthy OF credence, he sa d. Immunity
promised by the state to Blixt and Adry
Hayward for the sake of convicting
Harry lie declared was the revival of the
pernicious practice of turning states evil
dence in vogue in England and he called
upon the jury to stamp it out.
The end is not yet. At 5 o'clock Mr..
Erwin turned to the Court and asked for
an hour tomorrow morning The Court
was 10th to grant the request. The mem
bers of the jury were suffering, but con
sent was finally given. All through the
day Erwin kept up one line, to break
down the evidence of Claus A. Blixt and
incidentally that OF Adry Hayward.

Statement Made by White OF
the American Society
AN OvERDRAFT OF $4,000
What the Work of Expert Accountants
Showed
The Treasurer Lived In Magnificent Style
and Used the Society's Money
to Keep Up Appearances

New York. March George G. White,
chairman of the finance committee of the
American Church Mission Society, today
made the following statement:
AT the January meeting l was made
chairman of the finance committee. I'M
mediately upon looking into the duteis of
my new office | found that the books
called for large cash balance on hand in
a trust company, but was informed that
the treasurer II. A. Oakley, claimed
there was an error in the accounts and
that there was no such cash on hand. |
was afterwards informed that the general
secretary knew there was discrepancy
in the accounts, but that he did not so
inform the executive board until the jan
uary meeting.
The treasurer was at once called upon
by me to produce the books of account
and his own accounts and show where the
difference existed. A month ago put an
expert to work on the books. There APP
peare, to be several things in regard to
General Secretary Newbold's accounts
which required explanation. At the end
of a few days Mr.. Newbold, finding the
temperature of the office getting too hot
for him, sent his keys to the committee
and announced that he had severed his
connection with the society. 1t was
afterward found that Mr.. Newblod had re-
tanned duplicae set of keys. which l
took from him.
The result of the expert accountant S
examination showed that Mr.. Newbold
had overdrawn from the society about
$4,000 over and above the salary due
him. Furthermore the examination
shows that moneys received from interest
and other sources to the amount of $1,000
he has failed to credit on the books and
the checks for the same were not deposit
ted in the society's bank account.
Mr.. Newbold has confessed these defal-
cations to four different members of
the society and we also have a letter
from him confessing his crime and plead
ing on the score of past faithfuluess for
leniency and claimed he was obliged to
use this money to support large and ex-
pensive family.
"He lives in fine place at Montclair,
n. j., the value of which he estimates at
$40, 600. He also keeps his horses, car
riages, etc. His house is mortgaged Tor
about $11, 900 and he has expressed his
willingness to deed whatever equity he
has in it to the society. Mr.. Newbold
was general secretary of the society for
twenty-six years and was always implic-
lily trusted by the members.
The expert accountant has ascertained
that certainly for the past ten years and
for how much more we do not know,
Newbold has robbed the treasury of the
society,"
Mr.. White said this statement was pro-
voked by Mr.. Newbold's attempt to pose
as martyr. He would not say what
steps would be taken by the society
against Mr.. Newbold nor would he show
the latter's written confession.

TO BATTLE THE BANDITS
How the Southern Pacific Will Obstruct
Train Robbers
A Little Side Section Where the Messengers
Can Go Into Hiding and II Necessary
Leave the Train

San Francisco, March 1.-The frequency
of train robberies has influenced the
Southern Pacific officials to devise q rem
edy. By a plan to which railroad men
are now giving their attention, the sx-
press and mail car is provided with OPP
posite side openings, into which are fitted
rectangular frames, somewhat like a large
shallow box, opening inwardly to the car.
These sections rest upon suitable floor
strips, and are provided with rack bars
and pinion gear. They are nominally
drawn inward so that the outward face
is flush with the side of the car, and does
not present any unusual appearance.
When the train is stopped and the rob-
bers parade along it the messenger turns
u crank ami the buiiet-proof sections siide
out like a square bay window. Small
loopholes are provided, and the messenger
length of the train. The loopholes are
protected by steel plates, pivotally at
tached, which can be turned to cover the
oritice, until the messenger is ready to
snuff out another robber.
The sections are also provided with
searchlights, which will illuminate the
entire length of the train and the sur
rounding land. The device, it is claimed,
will also prevent the robbers from pursu-
ing plan which has found much favor
with them i'll the past. 1t has been the
custom of many of these gangs of desper-
ADDE'S to use the engineer or fireman of a
train attacked as shield while the thieves
forced the door of the express car with
dynamite or other means. AS the sliding
sections permit the messengers to have
full view of the train, he could readily
pick off the thieves from his secure posi-
ton before they could be able to attach
bomb to the rear door or make any pro-
gress in their efforts to force an entrance.

BRITISH SEALERS' CLAIMS
The Matter Comes Up in the House OF
Parliament

London, March Sir Richard Webster,
one OF the British counsel before the
Bering sea tribunal arbitration, in the
House of Commons today questioned the
government regarding it's negotiations for
a settlement with the United States of the
British sealers' claims for seizure prior to
arbitration proceedings. Sir Edward Gray,
Parliamentary Secretary to the Foreign
Office, said that the Canadas agreed to ac-
cept lump sum of $645, 900 from the
United States, but as yet the money had
not been paid. No representations, how
ever, have been received from Canada on
the subject of the refusal OF the American
Congress to agree on an appropriation.
Sir Edward Gray added that the nego-
tiations which were originally III progress
respecting all claims of British subjects
for injuries sustained at the hands of
United States cruisers were suspended
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-03-08

the trust companies were very similar,
but that he would devote himself princl-
paily to the Pollock case, because III that
case the interests involved were greater
than in the other; but while this company
conducts an immense business, It's bust
ness is one which might be carried on as
well by private partnership as by Il stock
company, in which case it would be ex-
empt under the laws from the income tax.
He said Mr.. Pollock was a shareholder
in this company, the net income or pro-
fits of which during the past year, subject
to the income tax, exceeds $500, 00O. OF
which $4,000 represents rents of real es-
tate and about $50, 900 investments in nut
nicipal bounds. which latter investmen )
could not he claimed, be taxed under the
former decision of the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Guthrie asserted that the provision
of the law exempting all incomes under
$4,000 would cause it to fall upon less than
, per cent of the population of the United
States, and the law was therefore class leg
lsation. He also showed that the tax as
not uniform as regards corporations, OF
which favored class was exempted, as,
for instance, mutual insurance companies
and building associations. as well as part
nerships and religious and benevolent in
situations.
AS to the exemption of churches, bene
VIOLENT concerns, etc., counsel would have
nothing to say, as there was enough in
the other exemptions in cases where the
exemptions were in the interest of share
holders, though called by another name,
to afford sufficient text for all they could
say.
As illustrative of the effect of the opera
ton of the law he pointed out that an indi-
vidual owning real estate bringing an in
come of $4,000 would pay $50 tax, while
corporation would be required to pay
double that amount. He also instanced
the case of a partnership of five persons
doing a business amounting to $50, 600 a
year which would be required to pay no
tax, while corporation composed of the
same persons would 10 compelled to pay
$500. In word, he said, the application
of the law would vary according to own
ership.
The corporation was only an aggregation
of individuals and in most corporations
part at least of the stock was owned by
the middle classes.
Mr.. Guthrie will resume his argument
at II o'clock tomorrow.
