possibility that in the arrest of man
giving the name of Mike Kelly the
officers have unknowingly captured
Thomas A. Collins, the man who is
wanted in Oakland for the robbery of
the Central Bank messengers, DAILY
and Roche.
Kelly was arrested yesterday on
suspicion of having been implicated
in the murder of an unknown man in
Kern City Sunday morning. When he
was brought to the Jail Steve Price.
the jailer, Immediately noticed n
strong resemblance between him and
the picture of Collins he had seen in
a San Francisco paper. So striking
was the resemblance that the jailer
communicated his suspicious to Sher-
iff Kelly. The prisoner was brought
before the Sheriff. and while he was
undergoing a close scrutiny he was
plainly i'll at ease.
In order to observe the actions of
the man, after a prolonged examina-
ton, the Sheriff said: THAT is the
man, Steve; take him back" Kelly
gave a quick start and turned notice
ably pale. He was much agitated as
he was led back to his cell. He ques-
toned the jailer closely in his eff
forts to determine the identity of
Sheriff Kelly, but was given no sat-
isfaction.
A request for pictures and a de-
tailed description of Collins has been
sent to San Francisco and Oakland by
the SheriffS office.

FIND COATS OF ROBBERS.
Boy Directs Frank Britton to Vacant
Lot Where Garments Lie.

OAKLAND, March 29.-Two coats,
believed to have been those worn by
the robbers, Zimmerman and Collins,
were found yesterday, carefully hid
den under clump of bushes in a va
cant lot on Golden Gate avenue, near
the Deaf, Dumb and Blind institute
in Berkeley They were found by a
boy, whose name is unknown, and in
the pocket of one of them was found a
mask like those worn by the high
waymen. One of the coats is a black
cutaway of rough cheviot and the
other square cut and of gray material.
The boy, not realizing the value of his
discovery, threw the garments aside
after searching the pockets, but later
told Frank Britton, cement worker,
of his find and Britton recovered the
coats and now has them at his home.
He searched for the mask which the
boy said he had taken from the pocket
of one of the garments, but could not
find it.

John Zimmerman, Who Helped Relieve
Messengers of Bank Coin, Bagged
DAILY and Roche Identity Him as High
Waynan Who Bound First Named

The first arrest in the Siege highway
robbery case was made yesterday
morning at 5 o'clock, when Detectives
Taylor, Dinan and Wren took John
Zimmerman into custody at the Mozart
lodging-h house at 32I Ellis street. Zim-
norman was taken TO the Hall OF Jus
tice. where in the afternoon John z.
DAILY and Frank K Roche, the messen-
gers who were conveying the $4,000
from the Central Bank Of Oakland TO
the Richmond Bank when The robbery
took place, were given a look at him.
They both identified him as the man
who had tied and gagged DAILY during
the little affair in the cut.
Zimmerman was given into custody
Of Sheriff Veale and is probably in the
Martinez jail by this time.
Zimmerman was given no opportun-
i-y TO make a resistance and did not
appear surprised at his capture. When
taken 10 the City Prison his name was
placed on the detinue book and he
steadfastly refused to say anything to
implicate Thomas A. Collins, whom the
police are searching for as the other
robbcr. When DAILY appeared, all ef-
forts Of the police to make Zimmerman
talk, so the bank messenger could
identify his voice, were futile. At the
time Of the hoId-up the robbers had the
lower part of their faces masked, but
DAILY said he had ample time then to
study the upper part Of the mans
face and yesterday on seeing thinner
man exclaimed: That's the man.
About Tuesday noon, word came to
l. 4
Collins We're staying at S21 Ellis street,
and detectives were Immediately de-
tailed 10 cover the place. A watch was
kept all afternoon and all Tuesday
night. but neither man appeared. The
detectives were in little room off the
main stairs and could see all who
passed up 3r down.
About o'clock WEDNESDAY morning
Zimmerman came up the stairs.

The San Francisco call., 1905-03-30
KNEW WHO DID THE JOB.

Evidence collected shows that sew
eral criminals in Point Richmond and
Oakland wished to get a chance at the
hold-up. Among those who knew of
the plan was Charles Henry. alias Null
cahey, now at the Broadway JAIL
awaiting transportation to Folsom to
serve fourteen years for burglary
When told of the robbery by Pinker-
ton man he uttered an exclamation of
surprise and regret, and it is believed
that the gang proceeded with the work
without his consent. He said that he
knew who did the job, but has steadily
refused to implicate his pals
The first information pointing to
Zimmerman and Collins came to the
Pinkertons from a stableman in Oak
land. He was working at a stable near
the Central Bank and saw Zimmerman
and Collins watching DAILY carry the
coin from the bank and place it in the
buggy. Zimmerman had often been
seen watching the bank and the stable
man knew him, as both worked at the
oil works in Point Richmond
Collins and Zimmerman were also an
pretended through the statement of a
woman who overheard them talking in
a saloon, while she was hidden behind
slot machine. She told the police of
what she overheard and identified the
photographs of Collins and Zimmer-
man.
The local police and the Sheriff's dep
uties of Contra Costa and Alameda
counties are on the alert for Collins.
with every prospect of finding him.
The Pinkerton men have been with
drawn from the case, as that Office is
certain that the capture of Collins is
only matter of a few hours.
OAKLAND, March 29.-The center
of interest in the Siege Crossing rob-
berry was transferred across the bay
to-day with the news of Zimmerman's n 9
arrest. Early as possible w. G.. Pal
manteer, vice president of the Central
Bank; John z. DAILY and Frank K.
Roche were sent to the Hall of JUS
tice, where Daly's absolute identifica-
ton of the prisoner as the taller of
the Siege highwaymen settled mat
ters.
The Oakland authorities have not
been advised that there is any suspi-
cion of Collins being in this city or
on this side of the bay. The theory
obtains here that the missing mans
whereabouts is known to Zimmerman
and that a way Will be found to induce
the prisoner to talk.
The officials of the Central Bank to-
day issued the following:
During the preliminary investigation into the
details of the robbery the officers of the Cen :
for the apprehension and conviction of the
parties who perpetrated the Siege robbery.
This has now been arranged. and a reward of
$1,000 Will be paid for the arrest and conyic-
ton of the parties who robbed J.. E. Daily and
County Cal, and additional $1,000 will he
paid for the return of the $4,000 stolen or q
pro rata amount of the $1,000 VIII be paid for
the amount recovered.
This reward will be paid through the Cali
fornia Bankers Association. according to the
above conditions.

Requests the Members Of
the Commission to Tender
Their designations to Him

Chief Executive Wants Clear
Field to Name New Body
of Men to Dig the Big
Ditch Down on the Isthmus

WASHINGTON, March 2e.-The first
practical step having in view the re-
organization of the Panama Canal
Commission was taken to-day, when,
in compliance with instructions from
President Roosevelt. Secretary Taft re-
quested the members of the commission
to tender their designations. This re-
quest was promptly complied with by
the members of the commission now in
Washington and their designations will
be placed in the hands of the Presi-
dent tomorrow. The contents of Taft's
letter requesting the designations of the
commissioners were made known to
Major General George w. Davis. Gov
ernor of the canal zone, who is also
one of the members of the commission,
and prompt answer is expected from
him.
AS indicated in the letter Of Secre-
tary Taft, the designations are request
ed in order that the President may
have free hand in reorganizing the
commission. That the President has
contemplated the reorganization has
been known for some time, and he has
been in consultation with Secretary
Taft as to his future policy in choos-
ing its personnel and directing it's
work. 1t was believed originally that
better results might be accomplished
by the appointment of a smaller COM
mission than that now existing, but
recent opinion of Attorney General
Moody held that under the law the
President is required to name seven
members in all. The appointments
| probably will be announced during the
| progress of his Southern trip.
The members of the present commits
| sion, in addition to General Davis, are
| Rear Admiral John III. Walker Of the
navy, retired, chairman; William Bar
| clay Parsons, William III. Burr, Benja-
| min M. Harrod and c. E. Grunsky.

TEN YOUNGSTERS CONFESS
TO A SCORE OF ROBBERIES
Loot Stores i'm Suburb of Chicago
and Secure Candy and

CHICAGO, March 29.-Ten boys of
Harvey, a suburban town, have con-
fessed in the Juvenile Court to the rob-
berry of eighteen stores, three churches,
two schoolhouses and a railroad sta
ton. The plunder consisted of candy,
gum and pennies and 1t was too free
distribution of the candy at school that
at last enabled the police to capture
the band, which had led them merry
chase for months.
I'VE started it just for fun" sobbed
one of the culprits, ''but when we got

IMPORTANT LETTER.

The most important find was made by
Detective Reynolds. The rough draft
of a letter, evidently sent Tuesday,
was found in a magazine. 1t is ad-
dressed to Tom" presumably Collins.
IT is couched in meaning terms and IL
illustrates the cunning of the writer. 1t
reads
'Tom-Write to inform you that I
did not start to-day CTuesday) because
the dentist is not finished, but he ex-
poets to relieve me from torture to-day

The second paragraph is interpreted
by the police to mean that the writer
believes the police less active, that he
has hidden part of the plunder and that
the police are looking for him and Col
Inns in the East. The many crossings
out and rewritings indicate that the
letter was being written according to
code" and this was but the rough
draft of communication that was sent
by Zimmerman.
The proprietor at 321 Ellis street said
that Zimmerman and Collins applied
for rooms December 81. Zimmerman
gave the name of Zimmerman, and was
thought to be a lawyer, while Collins
kept his own name and posed as a
business man. Their hours were very

Immediately taken to the Hall of Jus

ment about his own movements or
those Of Collins. After being identified
by DAILY and Roche he was given into
the custody of Sheriff Veale.
The Sheriff and his prisoner, together
with w. @. Palmanteer, vice president
of the Central Bank, and Detective
Dinan, entered a cab and were driven
around town for an hour before going
to the ferry. During that time another
attempt was made by threats and ca
jollery to make Zimmerman talk, but it
was unsuccessful.
While Zimmerman was being con-
veyed to Martinez the detectives ran
sacked his room. On the prisoner S
person had been found S35 in gold and
S135 in bills, and a gold Waltham
watch with a leather fob, the gold band
on which bore the inscriptions, From
c. Carter, Lockport, n. Y, to f. c. NJ
and Fred" A triangular topaz was
attached to the fob. Zimmerman had
recently bought a trunk, as though
preparing for journey, and the cloth
ing he wore on the day of the holdup
was found and identified by Daily and
Roche. On opening the trunk the first
article found was q handsome Colts As
caliber revolver. This weapon was i'm
nlediately recognized by the police, it
having been taken from him when
Zimmerman was in custody before
Attached to the revolver was a small
package of cartridges of the same cali
Der. A white-handled knife with a COM
bination blade, containing a file and q
saw, was also found, and the police de-
clare it an ideal tool for prying win
