KIDNAPPING, OF CAMPBELL
Was Not q Scheme Devised by Mr..
Winthrop.
He Just Wanted to Assist a Gay Old 7an to
Have Cool Time and Help Him
Spend His Honey,

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11.-Oliver
W. Winthrop completed today his story
of the three days of early August for
which he has been caleld on to answer
Under the guidance of District Attor-
ney Barnes, he told something of his
early life. 1t was not very much, though,
for his memory did not seem as clear
about his boyhood days, Of the schools
he attended and the houses he lived in,
as it did of the events which came later.
He even hesitated when asked his faith
ers name.
According to his testimony, Urquhart
was the man who conceived the kid
naping scheme, conceived it as means
Of raising the $4,000 he wanted to devel-
op his mining property. and proposed it
to Winthrop, while Winthrop was the
man who Indignantly repelled the propo
sition, but afterward consented to go into
it when it was reduced to a mere propo-
sition to help ga yold man have good
time with the expectation that, grown
liberal with wine, there would be $40
or $50 in it" for him.
His part in the renting of the cottage,
Winthrop testified, was simply that he
went to A. NJ Speck & Co.'S office with
SIS and Mrs. Dunton's receipt for $25,
which were given him by Urquhart, and
completed the transaction begun by
some one else. He never was at nor in
the cottage, he asserted until he went
there Monday afternoon with James
Campbell. Mrs. Dunton, he was sure,
was mistaken in saying that he had been
at the cottage Sunday afternoon or Mon
day morning. Her failure to identify
him at the city prison was because she
had never seen him before, as he had
never seen her; subsequent identifica-
ton was simply the consummation of
Capt. Lees threats that he would
make her know him." So he told the

AT SACRAMENTO
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Informa-
tion received at the treasury depart
ment indicates that there is likely to
be much suffering among the miners at
Cooks inlet. who are returning from the
Alaskan gold fields, unless the COM
mercial companies which took them
rorth provide for their passage home.
More than year ago the department
notified the companies that hereafter
the government could not furnish trans
portation for these miners and that if
the companies took the miners north
they should look out for their return.
1t is said that if all of the cutters in the
Bering sea were pressed into service,
they could not accommodate more than
120 men. There are said to be nearly
1000 of these returning miners now at
Cooks inlet.

FOREIiN COMPLICATIONS
Germany and England at Loggerheads Over

ZANZIBAR, Sept. 1.-THE belief is
prevalent here that Germany does not
intend to acquiesce in the action taken
by the British government through Ad-
miral Rawson in appointing Hamoud
Bin Mohammed Bin Said sultan of Zan-
zibar Said Khalid, the alleged usurper,
has been at the German consulate ever
since the fall of the palance, and in
spite of the request of the British consul
for his surrender there has been no dis
position manifested on the part of the
German officials to give him up Rumors
are in circulation here that it is the in
tention of the German authorities to re-
instate Said Khalid on the throne from
which he was deposed by force of Brit
ish arms. These rumors have caused
great uneasiness here. There is a feel
ing that Germany is not acting in a
friendly spirit and Is seeking to make
an issue with Great Britain.

The Phonograph in Telephone Offices
an Experiment.

A New York postoffice official, in
Philadelphia during the street car
strike, had occasion to use the tele-
phone on pressing business. He gave
the bell jingle, put the receiver to
his ear and said: Give me No. - in
a hurry
A plaintive but somewhat metallic
voice from the unknown said in his
ear: Wires busy; call again
He hung up the receiver and waited
with what patience he could for a full
minute, says the New York Mail and
Express. Then he tried again.
Hello, central. Give me No. ="
And the same weird voice said:
Wires busy; call again.
Another wait of two minutes, which
seemed a week. Surely he could get
them this time.
Hello, central. No. must be
through by this time. Can't you"
Wires busy; call again"
1t was very strange but it must be
right. The telephone girl ought to
know. He sat down, took out his
watch, travelled with the secondhand
three times around the circle and then
seized the telephone receiver.
"Say, central, don't you think you
could"
wires busy; call again"
what wires busy? Hadn't you bet

Wires busy; call again"

BUSY, your grandmother! Say,
young woman, you

THAT girls gone daft" He hung up
the receiver with a smash that bent
the hook.
He would see if he couldn't get re-
spectacle treatment. He went to an
other telephone, called up the super
intendent of the exchange and related
his experience in tones that hardly
needed an electric wire to carry them.
He couldn't see the telephone man
smile, but he heard him say:
My dear sir, I am sorry that you
have been so troubled, and 1 can't ex-
plain to you in detail, but, in short,
you have been talking to a phonograph.
You see, we have a phonograph device
that we attach to busy wire, which
answers the subscriber, and gives the
operator more time to attend to her
duties. In your case she probably put
the plug in and forgot to take it out
