tiOn says:

families of MI burghcrs in the field
who have not surrendered by Septem-
Der 18th shall he recoverable from
such burghers and shall be charged

The preliminary correspondence
shows hat the proclamation is based
upon suggestions which the govern
ment of Natal forwarded to Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain July 24th. and
the date. September 18th. was recon-
mended by Lord Milner.
The rensnns of the government for

as he had anything definite he rushed
TO the railroad. not waiting 10 prepare
his wife and children. as that would
take at least forty-eight hours. They
will come on later.
Judge johnson submitted his view in
typewriting. He wanted an outside
Judge. a special sheriff and Il special
prosecutor to TAXI up and dispose of
the charges. He was not the least bit
backward in expressing his idea that
the charges. If true, were n disgrace TO
the bench AZ n whole. Judge Malone
said lie was at n loss to know just
what TO suggest, but he believed that
one, two. three or more members Of
the Bar Association be called in for
consultation. with n view to having
the association conduct the investiga-
ton. Judge Carpenter coincided with
Judge Malone's view.
Judge Mullins. however. requested
that, since the affair arose in his court,
he ought TO be permitted to conduct
the investigation. II insisted that his
request be granted. Ii did not take
more than fifteen or twenty minutes
for the judges TO express their views
and make suggestions. The other three
SuEtfHl'u ~ JuN-t htiih AAhA ~ was
customary in such cases to call in n
DISTINGUISHED judge. but he stood firm.
and after two hours together he
judges dispersed with the agreement
that Judge Mullins have his way.
To the News the latter said:
Il insisted on my way because | be
lieve that / am the proper person TO
conduct an investigation of anything
that has arizen in my division of the
court, so long as it does not directly
implicate me in any of the charges. 1
am going to the bottom of 1t, and will
not let anyone escape Justice.
My plan will he 10 have n special
prosecutor and proceed under the
statutes governing contempt for the
present. As time develops things, con-
tempt of court may o cover the case,
but hat remains to be seen. You can
say there will he no special grand
jury. and that l shall conduct the case
myself. When | get through there will
be no room to say that there has been
any secret work. or that anything like
ly to uncover n violation OF the law

that the gold will be found before you

Winters finally weakened and told
Won der Ropp that he had taken the
gold and would take him to the spot
where II was hidden. The criminal,
in company with Superintendent liopp
and n force of detectives. left OF Il tug
last night for Crockett. There they
waited all night for low tide. Winters

claims that he did the job all
alone. He says that he made
fourteen trips from the vault to the
wharf. from Which he dropped the
gold. The smclter officials. however.

think that his story that he did it all
himself is correct.

looks Ike a step backward. II is prob
ably only temporary. Congress seems
TO have refused to continue the ap-
preparation solely on account of its
unwillingHess to foster a private
