ROBBERS GAG AND BIND MEN

Roche released me We examined the
tracks where my buggy had been
turned around and driven back toward
the San Pablo road. The buggy / had
seen across the track had also disap-
peaTed-
Il am satisfied that the robbery was
the result of long planning by persons
who had knowledge Of my trips to
Richmond with the coin. Probably this
time was the first chance the highway
men had when there was no one in
sight. The place they selected was an
ideal spot There are no houses near
by and the embankment entirely hides
the view from the east. To the west
the road stretches in straight shoot
for a couple cf miles, and only fields
and marshes lire it on either side. The
time from when we were stopped to the
freeing of our bindings was not more
than five or six minutes.
WaNTED COMPANION
Il took Roche with me more for COM
pany than Anything else. j told him
last nisht I intended to go this morn
ing He accepted the invitation pro-
viding It did not rain to-day. He was
formerly a boolxkeeper for the tele-
phone company. but had been doing q
little clerical work for me at the stable
OF late.
1T is lucky that to-day's consign-
ment OF coin vas the smallest / have
ever carried. Usually there was not
less than $4,000 or $4,000 and some
times 4 ran even higher.
DAILY ard Roche returned to Oakland
this evening, where they had a long
conference with Sheriff Veale. who
came down from Martinez. They de-
scribed the robbers as follows:
No. l. Tall, slender. about IS years
old. wearing blue suit. No. 2. Stout.
full abdomen, 40 pounds weight. gray
suit.
W. G. Palmanteer. vice president OF
the Central Rank, said:
The first news of the crime reached
me through DAILY. at once notified the
authorities / have no theories nor any
information other than that which has
come to me through the open channels.
through letters his father brought to
US two years ago from Henry Newby
of the Pasadena National Bank"
Through the American Bankers As
sociation she Pinkerton detective force
has been put at work on the robbery.
At Point Richmond and at Siege the
opinion is prevalent that the robbery
was committed by men who had close
observation of the methods of handling
the payroll money. The Contra Costa
foothills and the. country from Oakland
to Martinez We're secured by posses
armed with rifles and shotguns. The
late recovery of Daly's buggy rather
set back the pursuers. 1t was feared
that the highwaymen had made good
in their plan to get away.
Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa County
tonight had long interview with
Roche and with DAILY, comparing notes
as to their statements OF the robbers
The local authorities have been in con-
ference on the case. with the result that
the closest inquiry is being made into
all of its phases

CHICAGO, March 2o.-The Govern
ment investigation of the beef trust
was begun to-day. Judge ]. Otis
Humphrey of Springfield administered
the oath to the veniremen, whose
names have been kept profound
secret for three weeks by the officials
of the United States District Attor-
ney's Office. The Government is rep
resented by Assistant District Attor-
ney c. B. Morrison and Assistant At
torney General Oliver H. Pagin. Much
information bearing on specific in
stances of alleged violation of the
Sherman antitrust law is said to be
in the hands of the Federal prosecutor.
The independent packers, headed by
Schwarzschild & SulZberger, have ar
ranged to submit evidence TO the Gov
ernment tending to show the manner in
which the smaller packer has been
forced to follow the dictation of the
so-called big five"
Witnesses from Kansas City have
assigned dates for their appearance at
the Grand Jury session. Several re-
ported TO the District Attorneys Office
to-day OF the 300 subpenas issued,
Clerk Mcmillan of the District Court
reported that all except four had been
properly served. Attorney John S.
Mile, appearing in the case for all the
packers, denies that any witnesses for
the Government have been spirited
away, and are on vacations as has
been reported.
Because of the failure to secure six
teen men who are, in the opinion of
Judge Humphrey, sufficiently removed
in business affairs from the packing
industry, the swearing in of the jury
was delayed until tomorrow. Only
fifteen out Of the twenty-three sum-
moned were accepted for jury service.
Sixteen being required to constitute a
quorum, additional summonses were is
sued. Eight witnesses have been SUBJ
penaed to appear before the investi-
gators tomorrow.
1t was learned to-day that United
States District Attorney General H L.
Burnett has been taking evidence here
for week past in connection with the
investigation. The list of witnesses
has not been made public, but is re-
ported 10 include the names of all the

Friends of the Secretary

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON March 2o.-In Dip
lomatic circles the belief is becoming
fixed that Secretary of State Hay, now
on the Atlantic Ocean seeking health
and strength, will never return to his
official position. Many are so pessi-
mistic as to believe he may never re-
turn alive. while practically all be-
lieve he will not again take un the
duties of his office.
1t has been known for a long time
that his immediate family has op-
posed his continuation in Office, but
has been unable to persuade him to
let go long enough to take a rest un-
til now. Only expressions of deep re-
gret are heard on all sides at his COL
lapse on Saturday.

SAYS CHURCH Is WRONG
IN OPPOSING THEATER
DIR. Joseph SiIverman of New York
Declares Both Are Agencies
for Good

NEW YORK, March 20.-In a SER
mon in Temple Emanuel yesterday
the Rev. DR.. Joseph Silverman made a
plea for the endowment of a theater
wherein the Actors Church Alliance
may carry out its ideas Of high dra-
matte presentations.
The stage" continued DR.. Silver
man, Is but an outgrowth of the pull
pit, part Of the paraphernalia that
belonged originally to the dramatic
presentation Of religion. The church
has failed in its opposition to the
theater, as il always viii fail when it
opposes the natural desires. The
theaters never could have succeeded if
they had not satisfied a craving and
longing Of the human soul The
church is not perfect, neither is the
theater, but both are great agencies
for good"
