THEY STOLE BARS Of GOLD
THIEVES BREAK OPEN SAFE AT
VALLEJO. JUNCTION.
Bottom of Safe Pierced and $3.50, 900 Abb
stracted From it. Clever But Simple
Act of Burglary.

SAN FRANCISCO. August Cum
ming, patient and daring thieves broke
into a safe in the Selby Smelling and
Lead Companys works at Vallejo june
ton between midnight and daylight
yesterday morning and secured thirty
seven bars of goki. The mass weighed
ll3O pounds and its value was $3.50, 600
1t is the largest theft of gold bullion
known in this country.
The thieves planned their work with
INFINITE caution and patience. They
executed the coup with daring and
quickness. They disposed OF every tell
tale sign with remarkable foresight and
made their escape, taking the enormous
booty with them, in such fashion that,
so far as can be foreseen now, they will
never be traced.
The mere act of taking the gold was
one of extreme simplicity. The method
followed was the driving of a tunnel
not over five feet in length. under the
wall of the refinery turning upward
Just inside and piercing the bottom of
an iron safe that stood next the wall
The tunnel started just outside of the
wooden wall, the opening being a mere
hole three feet deep, as many feet long
and foot and a half wide A grown
man could barely squeeze into this hole
and wriggle himself into the tunnel
leading under the wall. There, lying
on MS Dack, ne could, II he We're an eX-
pert operate a drill and cut through the
bottom Of the safe. Once the hole was
opened, the thief crawled up into the
safe and passed gold bars down to his
confederates. The thing was perfectly
easy.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August TO-
Jack Winters. who was arrested for the
Selby Smelling Works robbery has con-
fessed the crime and so far $4,000
worth of bullion has been recovered
from the bay where he had sunk it,
The criminal, in company with Sup
erintendent Ropp and a force of de-
tectives, went on a tug last night TO
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 begin
ming of the Vallejo ferry slip. At that
point, at low tide. the mud is about
four feet deep, covered by a foot of
water. This morning Winters himself
got into the mud and water up to his
neck and for an hour and a half CROPPED
for the missing bullion. Up to / O'CLOCK
$4,000 worth had been recovered. This
includes the four bars of fine gold.
Winters had put some of the bars in
bags. He said that one of the bags
had broken and some small bars had
dropped out. He threw the large bars
into the water without covering. 1t

THE BIG STRIKE.

strike have been abandoned. The bill

pont Morgan. yesterday delivered it's
rejected. The Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Steel, Iron and Tin Workers also
delivered an ultimatum, which Morgan
absolutely refused to consider Plans
have been made for an extension of the
strike at 8 p. M on Monday. The Anal
gamated Association intends to tie up
every concern in any way connected
with the giant trust and it was de-
clared by the labor leaders that 10000
more men will be on strike within forty
eight hours. Already 10000 men are out
and the indications are that total OF
l65,O 600 men will be on strike Tuesday.
The crisis in the strike situation was
reached at a conference in this city yes-
terday between the executive commit
tee of the Amalgamated Association
of the United States Steel Corporation.
The conference had been sought by the
strike leaders. Morgan entered it re-
luctantly. Both sides discovered in
seventy minutes that all talk of settle

the strike leaders perfected their plans
for making the strike general, and the
