DID THE JOB HIMSELF.
No Doubt the Remainder Will
Be Found.

san Francisco, Cal, Aug. 10.-Jack
Winters. who was arrested for the Sci
By Smelling works robbery, has con-
fessed the crime and so Tar $4,000
worth Of bullion has been recovered
from the bay where he had sunk it. For
three days the detectives have tried all
sorts OF intimidation to make Winters
confess but their threats apparently
had no effect upon him Finally he
asked to see superintendent Ropp Of
the works. who he said was the only
friend he had. In his conversation with
Ropp, Winters manner indicated that
he knew where the gold had been hid
den. Ropp told him that they had a
strong case against him and that he
would be sent to prison for 80 years
He said:
You win be an old man when you
get out and il Will do you no good to
hide the gold. we know it is hidden
in the water near the works and we
will search every inch. You may be
sure that the gold viii be found before
you get out Of prison
Winters finally weakened and told
Ropp that he had taken the gold and
would take him to the spot where it
was hidden.
The criminal in company with Sup
erintendent Ropp and a force of detec-
tives left on a tug last night for Crock
EFT. There they waited all night for
low tide Winters pointed out the place
at the end of the railroad wharf, behind
the coal bunkers at the beginning Of
the Vallejo ferry slip. At that point at
low water tide the mud is about four
feet deep, covered by foot of water
When the tug frts reached Crockett
Winters pointed out the spot in the
water where he said he had thrown the
gold Superintendent ROpp marked the
place on the wharf and the tug steam
ed away TO wait for low tide. This
morning Winters himself got into the
mud and water up to his neck and for
an hour and a half CROPPED for the miss
ing bullion Up to 10 o'clock $4,000
worth had been recovered This in
cludes the four bars Of fine gold. Win
ters had put some of the bars in bags.
He said that one of the bags had bro
ken and some small bars had dropped
out. It is now only question of care
ful search to find the rest Of the $780,
600. Winters claims that he did the Job
all alone. He says that he made IA
trips from the vault to the wharf from
which he dropped the gold The smell
ter officials. however, are positive that
he received assistance from some one
The detectives think that his story that
he did it all himself is correct.
The tug with the detectives and the
prisoner, Winters. on board has re-
turned to this city.

OF Retiring Permanently From
interviewing Business.
THEN LAUNCHES OUT
And Discusses Almost Every
Topic of the Day.
Says European Intervention in
Africa is Hopeless.

London, Aug. 10.-''I am going to re-
tire from the interviewing BUSINESS per
manently." said United States Senator
Chauncey M. Depew to a representative
of the Associated Press today. Il have
served my full term, and have general
ly enjoyed It. but there have been so
many fictitious and erroneous reports
Of my sayings and speeches since 1
arrived in Europe this summer that
have concluded to give up the job.
1T is impossible to discuss the great
strike intelligibly at this distance, but
the present thing to note is the pros
perity of American manufacturers. The
fact is that American prosperity is now
so great that nothing but a revolution
could stop it. and nothing can produce
a revolution.
4 have been seriously misquoted in
an American paper concerning the ef-
forts of European governments to Off
set American inroads into their trade
and manufactures. My observation Of
this movement leads to the conclusion
that while the European governments
view with alarm the increasing inrOads
of American products, it is i'm possible
that they should successfully combine
against them I am led to this conclu-
sion by my railroad experience. We
often get a half dozen or more trunk
line managers together who agree upon
certain rates; out when the question OF
percentages was discussed it was al
ways found that their demands reached
300 or 400 per cent, when there was
only 100 per cent. to divide. There Is no
chance Of European nations ever agree
ing upon a basis of division.
Il have not seen Mr.. Croker. but he
is apparently getting much enjoyment
out of English life.
"As a United States senator am
precluded from discussing Lord Kitch-
ener's proclamation, which undOubted-
~ is the feature of English politics this
week. 1t is bound to create widespread
comment, appearing as it does on the
day Lord Miner is returning to South
Africa. I presume Mr.. Balfour and
Mr.. Chamberlain viii enlighten us on
the subject at Blenheim today, and H.
would have been a pleasure to me to
hear them and witness the demonstra-
ton at the Duke of Marlboroughs
charming palace had I not thought
that my presence there might be mis-
construed in the United States. It is
hopeless to expect European interven-
ton. No matter how much the people
sympathize with the heroic conduct Of
the Beers, governments are forced to
determine exactly what effect interven-
tion is going to have for the Beers, and
where they themselves stand when
England declines their demands"

MISS MORRISON GOOD.
FL Dorado Young Woman
Proves Model Prisoner.

Leavenworth. Kan, Aug. 1o.-Jessie
Morrison. convicted of killing Mrs. Olin
Castle, is proving a good prisoner, and
the officers of the Kansas penitentiary
say she makes them not the slightest
trouble. She took prison life very hard
during the first week. She spent much
time alone, weeping. Now she attends
to her duties quietly and without COM
plant. She is pleasant to the other
white women prisoners.
Miss Morrison is operating a sewing
machine, stitching shirts for male pris-
oners. Nearly all the prison visitors
ask to see her. but none is allowed to do
so. The only person who has talked
with Miss Morrison. aside from the
prison officials, since her confinement
has been her brother, who has visited
her twice. He does everything possible
to comfort her A brother of Olin Cas-
tie was a visitor at the penitentiary
yesterday. He did not ask to see Miss
Morrison, but he made inquiries as to
what she was doing.

BROKE INTO DEPOT.
Winfield Officials Confiscate 1O3
Cases of Beer.

Winfield, Kas.. Aug. 1O.-City officers
broke into the Missouri Pacific freight
depot last night and confscated 103
cases of beer and two barrels of
whisky The beer and whisky were
consigned to John Hobo and other ic-
titious names in Winfield and Ponca
City, and had just been unloaded, when
the officers arrived and asked Agent
Sells for the key to the depot. He re-
fused and they then broke in with
axes. seized and hauled the goods
awav. The officers today think they
had not the power to break into the
depot, as the goods were still in transit,
The railroad company has wired their

taken vet Several weeks ago the pro-
hfbition element broke into a freight
car and seized some beer, and in a
fight a iointfst shot a crusader.
