New YORK, April 2A.-StOcks ruled strong

BOTH DOORS UNLOCKED
Policeman Riley's Presence Pre-
vented Robbsry at Stewart Castle.
Are Believed to Be the Howell
Burg hrs.

Detectives Horne and Boardman are ex-
periencing great aifricully in getting tangi-
bic clews concerning the burglars who
robbed Rev. Richard Lewis Howells resi-
dence, and got away with over 81, 900
worth OF silverware.
The thieves are evidently professional ex-
perts as they worked so cleveriy as not to
leave any trace CT their identity behind.
The detectives are therefore practically
cropping in The dark.
While searching for clews in the latest
big burglary Inspector Hollinberger's
men have learned of an attempt to rob
Stewart Castle about 2 O'Clock Wednesda y
morning. The Castle is occupied by Sem
ator Stewart and family.
At the hour mentioned, while Special
Policeman ID. ID. Riley was patroiling
he noticed Two men in the shadows of the
picturesque mansion. They were acting
suspiciously, and as Riley approa ched
they started down the street at a brisk
pace.
While passing under the glare of a gas
lamp he got a good view of them. however,
and their description has been furnished In
spector Hollinberger.
Riley tried the big front door OF Stew
art Castle. This he found open. He tried
the inner vestibule door. 1t was also un-
locked. He then entered the house and
raped on the banEistcrs With his night
stick.
There was no response to his loud rap
ping, and Riley ascended to the second
story. where he raped again more loudly
than before. Mrs. Stewart, wife of the
Senator. came out OF her room and asked
what was wanted.
Riley informed her that both front doors
We're unlocked. Mrs. Stewart was greatly
alarmed, and stated that the doors had
been locked and otherwise secured early
In the evening. The policeman then went
out 10 lind the suspects, but they had
disappeared. The appearanceo of the special
in the nick of time no doubt prevented an
other big burglary.
One OF the men was negro aud rather
short; the other a white man, some what
taller, who wore large eyeglasses, evidently
as a means of disguise.
As the Stewart residence is in the vicinity
OF the residence OF Rector Howell it is
probable the men We're those who secur ed the
silverware. An accurate description of their
clothing and other features is in possession
or the detectives. 1t is believed that the
housebreakers who did the Howell job left
this city before daylight yesterday morn
ing with their plunder, and are now miles
from here.

new LIFE IN THE Scheme
Commissioners Will Go on With
The Highway Work.
ACT WILL BE ENFORCED
The Engineer Department Has Been
Preparing the Plans for the Sec
ond and Third SectfOns-NO Bene-
fits Can He Deducted or Assess-
ments Made Until Congress Acts.

The effect of the opinion rendered by
the court OF appeals in the highway exten-
sion proceedings, appealed frcm Justice
Cox, will lie that the program OF the Com
missioncrs will be preceded with TO
finish, Tie act having Lcen declared valid,
except as to two points.
Comm ssioncr RCss said this morning
that the proceedings will go Cn, and the
act VIII be enforced in all respects, ex-
ccpt that no Lcneiits can be deducted nor
a assessments made until Congress shall
lake further action.
This is understood also to lie the 0pin-
ion OF Attorneys Worthngton and Thomas,
who represented the District before jus
ticc Cox and in the court CT appeals in
tac Dcnnison and Leighton proceedings.
The action OF the court Of appeals ap-
pears to be no surprise to the Commits
sioners, as they were confident of their
case from the beginning, and The Times
three weeks ago gave prediction emanat-
ing from the Commissioners that the con-
stitutionallty of the act would be sustained.
There has been no cessation in the work
OF the Engineer Commissioner in the mat
ter of pcrfectng the details and in the
preparation of the plates for the second
and third sections. Both are in an ad-
vanced Tsec of progress and today Major
Powell serft TO the blueprint maker for
the map OF The second section. But few
plates only remain to be finished, and when
these are added the plan will be ready for
the finishing touches preparatory to plac-
ing them on file.
No DECISION YET.
The Commissioners have had no time.
they say, TO determine a course OF action in
the matter of securing remedial legislation.
In view OF the statement that Congress will
have to take action before benefits can be
deducted or assessments made would seem
to indicate that the decision OF the court
of appeals makes but little change in the
situation.
The Commissioners have not been Off
cally notified OF the recent decision. and
have not had it formally before the board.
They have a bili before both houses with
amendments to cure the defects of the
original act. Whether this bill will now be
put through, or whether il will also require
amendment. could not be learned today.
Maj. Powell said that until the case comes
again before Justice Cox, uEon the order
remanding it, he could not say what would
be the boards program, but that the affir-
nation of the constitutiOnality of the act
was a guarantee that the proceedings
would be continued. He also volunteered
the statement that he has in his office
map of each of the two mentioned unfin-
shed sections, the second and third, and
that interested citizens are privileged to
inspect them.
Senator McMillaD's embargo recently laid
upon further legislation in the matter will
doubtless now be removed. He informed
the Commissioners upon receipt OF their
amendment that the court would have to
be heard from before the Senate could take
up any measure upon that subject.

Rich Old G Guinopa In theSierra Madre'
RediscOyered

Rich Old G Guinopa In theSierra Madres
RediscOvered.
Ell Paso, Tex, April 24--Addison Mum
zenburger, prominent business man of this
city. who owns mining property in Mexico,
returned yesterday from the Corralites min
ing district, Mexico, and says the people
there are wild over the rediscovery of the
famous G uin"pa mines in the Sierra Madres,
on the Rio del Arras.
Frank Woodson of California. a old miner,
brought in samples of ore to Corralites last
Sunday, stating that he and an Indian boy
had found the old Guinopa mines and that
the ore was from them. The ore assayed
81 900 in silver and $40 in gold To the ton.
The discoverers also found n quantity OF
bullion in the mine, which is situated on
the side of an almost perpendicular wall
of mountain. Steps have been Chiseled
in the stone leading to the mouth of the shaft.
From records found in the possession OF an
old priest al Zacatecas it was learned years
ago that mines of fabulous wealth located
in the Sierra Madres on the Rio del 4 rras
were worked by a colony OF Spaniards, led
by Senor Guinopa. in 1854: that the same
year the entire colony was eXterninated by
the Indians, who held possession OF that ter
ritory for thirty years. Numerous parties
have searched for the mines during the past
fifteen years.
