TWAS DROPPED IN BAY
Winters the Only Man Concerned IN
Shelter Robbery
ALL OF The GOLD WILL BE RECOVERED
For Three Days The Detectives Worked to In
duce Him to Confess the Deed and al
Last He Weakened and
Told All
CRy The Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Cal, August 1O.-Jack
Winters, who was arrested as a suspect
i'm connection with the Selby Smelling
Works robbery, has confessed and so
far $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 persuasion to make
Winters confess. buts apparently with
out effect. Finally Winters 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 indicated that he knew where the
gold had been hidden. Ropp told Win
ters that they had a strong case against
him, and that he would be sent to the
prison for thirty 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 will search
every inch. You may be sure the gold
will 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. Winters, in company with
Superintendent Ropp and a force of
detectives left on tug last night for
Crockett. 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 head of
the Vallejo ferry slip. At that point at
low tide the mud is about four feet
deep. covered by foot of water.
When the tug reached Crockett Win
where he said he had thrown the gold.
Superintendent Ropp marked the place
on the wharf and the tug steamed away
to wait for low tide. This morning
Winters got in the mud and water up
to his neck and for an hour and half
CROPPED for the missing bullion. Up to
10 o'clock 100000 worth had been re-
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
question of careful. search to find the
rest of the $2S0,000. 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 tug, with the detectives and the
prisoner, returned to this city this af
ternoon.

WAS It A BOER BOMB?
Supposed Attempt to Blow
Up British Transport
A Terrific ExpIosioe Which, However Does Lit.
lie Damage to the Vessel and Re-
suits in no Serious Casualties
(By the Associated Press,


New Orleans, La, August 10.-What is
regarded as an attempt of a Boer SYM
pathizer to blow up British transport
occurred shortly after midnight, when
there was a terrific explosion at
the landing, where the Harrison
steamer Mechanician is moored. The
Mechanician is to carry mules to South
Africa. The explosion shook houses,
ratified dishes and awakened people for
some distance around. Most of the
crew of the ship We're asleep. but the
explosion brought them quickly from
their berths to the deck. An examina-
tion showed a large dent on the star
board side of the ship. Two plates at
the waters edge had been sprung and
considerable water was let into the ship.
Pumps were Immediately put to work
and when daylight came it was found
that the vessel was in no danger of
sinking and that the damage done was
not serious. The crew of the vessel de-
MED that there was any explosive on
board and there seems little doubt, ac-
cording to the statements of those who
examined the ship, that the explosion
was from the outside, and that some
sort of bomb or torpedo had been used.
Alfred Leblanc, of the Harrison Line,
visited the Mechanism early today and
report of the damage done was SUBJ
mitted to him. He said three large
plates in the starboard of the ship had
been stove in and that sixteen rivets
had been broken off or knocked COM
pletely from their places. AS the ship
was making considerable water, it was
decided to shift the ballast so as to lift
the damaged section out of the water
1t is thought the damage can be re-
paired here. Agent Leblanc said the
Mechanician will be loaded with a cargo
of mules on Monday and get away for
South Africa as soon as possible. A
British officer, who was on the ship last
night, said the explosion was terrific
and column of water went high up in
the air and came down on the deck
Captain Ball, of the Mechanician, was
on board at the time, but none of the
officers were willing to express a theory
with regard to who was responsible for
the explosion. 1t was suggested in some
quarters that it might have been the act
of some disgruntled muleteer. Many OF
the muleteers who have, from time to
time, left the city on the British trans
ports, have returned with complaints of
i'll treatment, and a number of suits
are now pending against British ships

world as a divine and sacred trust, and
that we are in love and honor bound to
use it for the common good. Since our
common Savior gave himself for all
may it be that much of the trend of the
exercises of the meetings will be in the
direction of sending out such a
gospel note. 1t seems to me it
would be much in keeping with
the spirit of North Carolina
Friends to do so. l should be will

from me with request that they give

of God is SO full towards us that while

nent figure in the investigation. When

cess to the vault In a memorandum
