The Treasury Department today gave au-
thority for the payment in New York of
81, 600 for foreign gold received in San

in San Francisco have been large for sew

with new gold from the Alaska gold fields,
have caused the payment of more money in
New York for deposits in San Francisco
than ever before in the same period. Since
cisco receipts of gold, both foreign and

Dr. Herran the Colombian minister has

In Bogota respecting the canal treaty Being
fully advised of the policy of the United

no chance of any success of the proposed
treaty In the United States Senate Fur
thermore, he personally considers the new
demands excessive.
Years Of Work Destroyed.
'If the Colombian senate should annrova
of the report of the committee as outlined "
said DR.. Herran 1T will mean, of course.
that the difficulty of reaching an agreement
between the two countries will be vastly
Increased. 1t will mean the destruction of
three years of hard work on my part.
The treaty. as ratified by the United

but did the best I could end took what I
could get. 1t now appears that my gov

MOB AFTER MURDERER
Negro Saved From Lynching
After Desperate Fight.
CHICAGO THE SCENE
SHOT MAN TO DEATH IN PRES
ENCE OF HIS WIFE.
Crowd of Avengers Chased Culprit
Through the Streets, Hurting Bricks,
Clubs and Stones at Police.

CHICAGO, September 9.-Under a fire OF
bricks and stones policemen last night res
cued a negro murderer from a mob Of
would-be lynchers.
Ten minutes before John Brinkley, a col
ored watchman had shot and killed Charles
Mccarthy. plasterer almost in the pres
ence of the latter's wife, who stood In the
doorway holding her baby.
Then the negro, backing into the doorway
of his own quarters, held a crowd of 200
men and boys at bay until Patrolman Rob-
ert Mooney walked up to him and unarmed
and took away his weapon. Then came the
second and exciting attempt of the mob to
wreak vengeance on the murderer.
Lynch Him! Lynch Himw
Mooney opened the door and took his
prisoner into the Office of the tile factory,
in which Brinkley was employed, to await
the, patrol wagon. But as he did SO the
crowd surged forward once more, with
cries of Lynch him! Lynch him! Get a
rope." The policeman tried In vain to
close the door on the crowd and keep it
closed. but even with the assistance of the
now terrified murderer it was useless.
While Mooney was thus struggling Brink
ley turned and fled from the office by the
rear door.
Negro Led the Race.
The mob saw the escape. and headed by
Mooney, streamed down an alley in pur-
suit. The negro ran several blocks before
he was finally overtaken. The policeman
having been brushed aside Brinkley was
now at the mercy of the crowd. A team
ster jumped from his wagon and began
lashing the negro across the face with his
whip. the victim being held the while by a
dozen men and boys. 1t was just when the
cries were growing more furious and an at
tempt was being made to drag the murderer
away that a patrol wagon arrived with
three policemen, who. together with Mooney
drew their clubs and fought their way
through the struggling mass of men, while
bricks and stones rained on them from
every side.
Air Full Of Bricks
1t was only by a desperate rush that the
four policemen seized the negro and sue
ceeded in dragging him to the patrol wa gon.
Then, followed by a few parting missiles
the horses were whipped up and the res
cued prisoner whirled to the police station.
None of the rioters was arrested. At the
police station Brinkley tainted from terror
and when revived begged to be put in cell
where no mob could get at him. The kill
ing grew out of quarrel in which McCar-
thy had accused Brinkley of stealing chick
ems from his premises.
