the Job Alone but SmeIter Officials
Believe He Had Assistance.
San Francisco, Aug. 12.-Jack Win
tiers, who was arrested as a suspect in
connection with the Seby smelling
works robbery, has confessed, and so
far $40, 1000 worth of bullion has been
recovered from the bay where he had
sunk it.. Ii
For three days the detectives have
tried all sorts of persuasion to make
Winters confess, but apparently with
out effect. Finally he asked to see
superintendent Ropp of the Selby
works, who, he said, was the only
friend he had. -
In his conversation with Ropp Win
ters' manner indicated that he knew
where the gold had been hidden. Ropp
told Winters they had a strong case
against him and that he would be sent
to prison for 80 years. He said: +
"You will be an old man when you
get out, and it will do you no good to
hide the gold. We know it is.hidden
in the water near the works, and we
win search every inch. You may be
sure that the gold will be found be-
fore you are 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 Winters, in company
with Superintendent Ropp and force
of detectives, left on tug Friday
night for Crockett: There they waited
all night for low tide. Winters point
ed out the place at sa}g ~ ~, =
The End of the Railroad, Wharf :
beyond the. coal bunkers, at the head
of the Vallejo ferry slip. AT what
point at low. tide the mud is about four
feet deep, covered by a foot of water.
When the tug first reached Crockett
Winters pointed out the spot in the
the gold. Superintendent Ropp mark
ed the place on the wharf and the tug
steamed away to wait for low tide.
In the morning Winters got into the
mud and water up to his neck, and, for
an hour and a half, CROPPED for the
missing bullion UP to Z 40 O'Clock
$3.50 zoe worth had been recovered.
This includes the -four bars of fine
gold. Winters had put some Of the bars
in bags. He said one Of the bags had
broken and {, some small bars had
dropped out 1t Is now only a ques7
ton of careful search to find the rest
of the $2SO,0G0. .5a,,rl 81, c.;..,. on
Winters claims he did the job all
alone. He says he made fourteen trips
from the vault, to the wharf, from
which he. dropped the gold. The
smeFter officials, however, are positive
that he received assistance from some
one, while the detectives think his
story is correct. sitIooot1 >thoTd2 n"Tl

CLASSIFY RURAL CARRIERS.
President Desires 1t But Postmaster
General Is Opposed.

Washington, Nov. 19.-President
Roosevelt's desire that all rural free
delivery carriers be placed in the
classified service was the cause of an
important factor in a consultation
held between the members of the Civ
il Service commission and General SUI
perintendent Machen of the rural free
delivery service. The proposition is
not favorable to the officials of the
Postoffice department.. Postmaster
General Smith had practically decid-
ed, in the preparation of his annual
report to ask that the rural carriers
be given $500 a year instead of $500,
as at present, but has determined not
to recommend that the carriers be
placed under the civil service regula-
tons. What effect the expressed
wish of the President and today's and
future deliberations of Mr.. Machen
and the Civil Service commission will
have upon the views of the Postmast-
er General is not known.

further test after witnessing the eff
