 Tn view of the publication of gar bled report of an interview with me in this mornings local paper in refer ence to the custodianship or the Uni- ted States customs and postoffice build. ing, hope the impression will not be created that the postmaster and myself have been locked horns for deadly combat in which amusement could be afforded the public.

Charse is Result Of . Cetten Transac' tfon In Pensacola-Writ of Ha, heas Corpas Sued
 Out.

pavid Lowe. a prominent broker of Montgomery. was arrested last night by Deputy Sheriff s. s. Beiser on warrant charging embezzlement at Pensacola, Fla.
 Sheriff Van Pelt of Escambia County. Florida. was in Montgomery with areduisition approved by both the Gov ernor of Florida and Governor Cum ninsham. He intended to return with his prisoner to Pensacola last night. He returned but MT. Lowe remained In Montgomery to appear before Judge William H. Thomas of the criminal d. vision of the City Court of Montgom- cry in response to a writ or hapeas corpus granted him on his petition that the criminal warrant from Pensacola Is merely an attempt by persons there to collect a civil debt.
 Mir Lowe has been released on bond . The arrest was made about 7:3o o'clock last night. Mir. Lowe was taken to the Montgomery County jail. where he Immediately consuted attorneys. who sued out the writ of habeas corpus.
 Through his counsel he made the statement that the arrest is merely a plan to endeavor>to collect a civil debt through a criminal process.
 He was engaged in Pensacola in the brokerage business in March, when he failed. He remained in Pensacola from March to May and although the transaction occurred in March no ar- rest was made.
 He then returned to Montgomery and has been no fugitive from justice. showing himself on the streets at all times.
 in a te1ephonic conversation with the City Editor of The Pensacola Journal, it was learned that the warrant charg- ing embezzlement is the result of a cotton deal involving $40o and was sworn out by Halliday & Co.
 The Pensacola newspaper man said that there are a number of civil suits pending in the courts of Pensacola against MT. Lowe. involving practical ly the same facts.
 The habeas corpus case will probably be heard today.

fact no such spectacle will take place. although I am not in harmony or sym pahty with many of MT. Barker's po- litical ideas and policies. Furhter, the custodianship of a government build ing is a responsibility without renum- eration. and the care and keping up of such building. taking up much time and attention. frequently cause much trouble and annoyance.
 Tt was very considerate of the past master to want to relieve me of this responsibility and thereby ligthen my already heavy burdens. There are good reasons. however, why postmas- ters should be custodians. and one is that the custodia nof public building has access to all parts of the building and he working room of the post office, it is thought more than any other that the department should be inaccessible to all not in that service"
 rumor gained currency a few days ago in local newspaper circles to the effect that the Steamship Vueltobajo of the Mobile Yucatan Steamship Com pany, would shortly go to Havana to be docked for repairs. The officers of the company deny the statement in toto. The Advertiser representative was this morning informed that the Vueltabajo was at present on a trip to Mobile from Mexican ports and would sail from here either September 5th or 9th. The officials also emphati- cally declared that, inasmuch as the steamship company was a Mobile tnsti- tuition, owned and operated by locar-in- terests, all dockings and repairs to the VueItabajo or any other steamship 1t might own, would be done in Mobile and by Mobile firms.
 At midnight the following members of the A. N. G., left for Montgomery to report to Colonel Brandon of the provisional regiment for duty: Major Howard Gaillard. 1st infantry, as ad- jutant; Captain Charles E. Dexter of Montgornery Troop on detail duty with the adjutant; Colonel Dedmap of Bir mingham surgeon of the 3rd infantry, as brigade surgeon; Captain Thad Har- fridge, adjutant 1st infanfry, as com missary; Lieutenant Harry Rubira. Mo- bile Rifles, as commissary sergeant.
 The Mobile company, John D. Hagan. commanding. will leave here Friday night.
 Walter Wood of the BienvilIe Water Supply Company. returned to Philadel- phia tonight. While here. as previously noted, he met with the Mayor and the waterworks Committee of the General Council to discuss the sale of his plant to the city of Mobile. Asked tonight if he thoughL there was a possibility of closing a deal with the city for the purchase of his property, Mir. Wood re- piled:
 "when the Mayor and General Coun- cil are ready to talk business onta a busi- ness basis, then we are ready to meet them and to take what the facts and figures warrant for our property"

CALIFORNIA BURIED TREASURE
Bandits BOOTY Hidden in Cahuensa
Pass.
From the Los Angeles Times.

From the Los Angeles Times.
A local attorney departed for san
Francisco yesterday, to further the
search for the alleged buried fortune in
the foothills. If his arrangements
come to a successful issue. every foot
of the Cahuenga pass win have a
thorough inspection by treasure seek
ers.
Away back in 1865 Alonzo Otero was
a herder on dairy ranch in the neigh
fborhood of Livermore Pass, near San
Francisco. One day while Otero was
pasturing his herd in one of the canons
and was himself lazily reclining under
the shade of a thick growing clump
of low trees, he saw party of three
men ride up and stop at several points
and carefully gaze around apparent
ly trying to ascertain if they were OBJ
served by any one.
The herdsman had no relish for
meeting these three rough looking
strangers alone, and as they were dis
mounting ne concealed himself still
more securely in the thick growth
and watched their proceedings.
Evidently satisfied that they were
unobserved the men proceeded to a
eiidh grove, ana removing some pack
ages from their saddles, dug a hole in
the earth and buried the bundles.
Then they made several marks on
nearby trees, and returning built a
fire on the newly upturned earth, cook
ed their dinners, ate and remounted
their horses and soon disappeared
from the canon.
Otero remained concealed for sew
eral hours but finally he ventured
over to the recent camp and made a
careful inspection. lie drove his herd
home early, and that night returned
ana unearthed the packages he had
seen buried.
Report has IL that the man found in
the cache one package of American
gold coin and two others containing
watches and fine jewelry, among them
some goodsized diamonds. Otero
scarcely knew whether to announce
his great find or not; but he finally
buried II again in another section OF
the canon.
Within a few days the people oil
about San Francisco were talking over
the daring robbery which had taking
place In one Of the iewelry stores Of
