GOLD THIEVES TRAIL.
The Detectives Have Fixed Up g Case
Already

San Francisco, Aug. 9-Captain Sey-
mOur, of the local detective force, has
disclosed the identity of the men whom
the police department has in custody on
suspicion of being implicated in the
robbery of $3.50, 900 worth of gold from
Selby smelter works at Vallejo june
ton The suspect is John Winters, 81
years old, q former employe OF the
smelling company Captain Seymour
also outlined the evidence on which
Winters is being held as follows:
"A mans cap which was found on
the railroad tunnel last Tuesday morn
ing has been positively identified as a
head covering worn by Winters and to
strengthen this fact there is the fur
Their one that the suspect has been
wearing a new cap ever since the time
OF the robbery. He explains his loss
of the old one by saying that it blew
away
by the thieves was constructed Of lath
and upon which some cloth was fasten-
ed with tacks of a peculiar pattern
and lacks similar to these were found
today in Winters cabin. Portions OF
laths similar to those composing the
frame work Of the cover have been
found at the same place
"A pistol owned by winters ana
found IN his cabin is covered with mud
which corresponds exactly with the
earth taken from the tunnel.
Tn the tunnel were found several
cubes OF peculiar chalk which had evil
IDENTIFY been used to smother the grind
ing sound made by the drill by which
the floor plate Of the vault had been
bored and pieces of chalk exactly like
them were discovered in Winters resi-
denCe"
IN the cabin was also found a new
implement designed to cut gas pipe. A
small electric battery and a tiny cleo
trio bulb. the latter being covered with
dirt similar to that in the tunnel under
the vault was found in the cabin.
Winters had been seen late at night
or seven times by persons who had oc-
casiou to pass that way.
Winters stOutly claims that he knows
nothing whatever about the robbery
and that he is innocent
The theory on which the detectives
are now working is that the robbery
was done by one man. It is thought
the two bars of gold found on the water
edge We're placed there designedly to
create the impression that the gold had
been carried away in a boat On this
hypothesis a strict search is being made
in the vicinity of the robbery for the
stolen gold.

stage for discussion and two Missouri
Pacific officials are to be here Satur-
day night for a conference with the
members of the Commercial club who
are backing the movement
z. J. Ward division superintendent
Of the road at Fort Scott, this morning
telegraphed Major Anderson of the
Commercial club that he and A De
Bernardo, superintendent of the road
would meet the Topeka people to dis
cuss the proposition Saturday night
Il have sent notifications to nearly
all who are interested In the movement
to meet at the club rooms tomorrow
night" said Major Anderson this af-
ternOon. Il have no idea what progress
will be made at the conference, but 1
believe we will be able to pursuade the
visitors that the proposition to build
to the Central Branch line is a sound
one. I think the project is within our
grasp now"
If this movement is carried out it
VIII undoubtedly carry with it the
movement for a union depot here It
is a well known fact that the railroad
terminals here are not what they
should be for a city of 10000 inhabitants
and a prominent railway official here
recently expressed it a his opinion that
the railroads entering here could easily
spend $4,000 or more each in uniting
on a union depot. For that sum an ele-
CANT building could be erected and the
crying need of Topeka relieved.

Wrecking trains and physicians are

The wreck is thought to have been

BURTON ON THE TARIFF.
Thinks There is No Call For Genera
Revision-The Roosevelt Boom.

Washington. Aug. 9-Senator Burton
of Kansas, who is here looking after
some appointments in which he is in
terested, gives out the following as
his views on the proposed tariff legis-
lation:
Some changes in the present law
may be found necessary, but as far as
q general revision is concerned 90
not think there is much favorable SEN
timent in that direction. The Demo
cratic element of the country may be
crying for a reduction in the tariff
rates, but who IN the Republican ranks
viii pay any attention to these people2
The Democracy does not know any
thing about business and never Will
in m Y Judgment. Congress cannot af-
ford to consult the Democratic party
on any action contemplated in this re-
spect As for the proposition to remove
the duty from all products of the trusts
I think that when it was projected it
caused a general smile My candid
opinion is that it is generally regarded
as a Joke"
What the senator says of the Roose-
velt boom is received with more than
usual interest because of the persist
eney with which he urged Roosevelt to
accept the nomination for vice presi-
dent. Those who attended the national
Republican convention and were In
Philadelphia during the Few days pre-
ceding the convention recall how Bur
ton and his delegation, wearing i'm
mense sunfiowers in their coat Iapels,
called on Roosevelt and informed MIN
that whatever the convention did they
expected to vote for him first and last.
stThe people of Kansas said he, 'are
not talking politics of any kind"
"Is Roosevelt being doomed for the
nomination three years hence2"
mo, he is not Nobody is being
doomed, in fact The truth is that
there is so much business being trans
acted in Kansas that the state has no
time to be specializing on who will be
nominated for president three years
hence. Business throughout the state
is fiourfshfng. There is nothing now
the m after with Kansas. There is
surplus of everything, even money. The
farmers are all prosperous and in all
walks of commerce and industry the
pulse of profit is beating high. The re-
ports of ruined crops which came east
were all nonsense Corn was damaged
to a certain extent. but not % much
as reported The wheat crop Of the
season has been gigantic"

prediction Combinations were formed
yesterday to change the business center
of the town to the streets running one
block north Of the court house and land

HraH rRApE LEvEI KEEPs UP

It has frequently been assumed tnal
the high level of last years phenomenal
commercial operations could not be re-

trary is true and that the tide of COM
