TH|Ev|NG TELLER
PROBABLY At SEA
Employe of Windsor Trust Company
In New York Believed to Be on
Sailing Vessel Outward
Bound
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 4.-Chester B.
Runyan, defaulting teller of the Wind
sor Trust company, whose amazing
theft of $S6317 from the bank vaults
was chronicled yesterday, is believed by
the detectives at work on the case TO
be on board of a sailing vessel bound
for the South Seas. The officers learned
that Runyan talked great deal of such
a trip in search of health and, as not a
trace of him has been found, they think
he arranged with some South Sea skip
per- who sailed Saturday for passage.
1t has been learned that Runyan took
with him a large revolver, the property
of the trust company.
1t was used daily by the assistant
teller in his visit with large sums of
money to the National Bank of Com
merce with which the Windsor Trust
company has large dealings. From this
it was assumed that the fugitive had 1t
in mind to kill himself if he were cap
tured in getting away with his plumber.
That the sum total of Runyans steal
ings will approximate larger sum than
that announced is denied by all the
bank officers. They positively declare
the present case will in no way re-
semble the trust company of America,
the theft from which grew from $4,000
to $650,000. George w. Young, one of
the active members of the directorate,
asserted that the thorough examination
made of all the records of the trust
company has not revealed a penny
shortage.

LONDON, July 4.-The British gov
ernment has demanded of the Moroccan
government that prompt steps be taken
to secure the release of Sir Harry Mac
Lean, commander of the sultans body
guard, who was captured by Raisuli,
the bandit.
No uneasiness is felt here about the
safety of General Harry MacLean, who
is held as a hostage by the notorious
Moorish brigand, Raisuli, until the sui
tan of Morocco comes to his terms,
but it is believed that with so power

drive a hard bargain with the sultan.

MacLean is the commander-in-chie
of the Moorish army, has splendid
palace in Aez and gets a salary OF

medan many years ago and virtually
a. Moor. His deeds of valor have been
numerous, but his greatest achievement
was when his patron, Sultan Mulaj,
died of fatigue during a campaign
against some turbulent tribes. Mac
Lean concealed the death, carrying the
corpse in a gorgeous golden litter until
he reached the capital. There he SNUG
gled the body in through hole in the
wall and then met and proclaimed the

FINDS NEW BODY OF
ORE IN MOHAWK MINE
By Associated Press.

BY Associated EIeSS-
GOLDFIELD, New, July Am en-
tirely new body of ore fifteen feet
across. has been opened up in the Great
Mohawk mine on the 450-foot level
The entire ore body will average ap-
proximately $3.50 ton, and there is
two-foot streak that runs $1,000 ton
clear across The strike should set at
rest for all time the reports that have
been circulated within the last few
weeks that the Mohawk was "bot-
toned" but the immense Importance
of the strike and it's significance lies in
the fact that it proves beyond all doubt
that the ore bodies in the Goldfeld dis
trict are permanent. The body of ore
that was uncovered in the Mohawk is
unaltered sulphide and there is no con-
centration in the seams. The strike
was made several days ago, but no in
formation was given out until thorough
tests and assays of rock had been
made. The values given are ultra
conservative and the extent Of the find
is vouched for by a number of well
known, experts, who have been per-
mitted to examine it. 1t is believed to
be the greatest body of ore ever opened
up in gold mine in this country.

Prominent Residents of Mexico Are

Revolution
Ev Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July Anime. Maria
de Ruiz Sandoval of Mexico, whose
husband, General Francesca Sandoval,
IS now with the army of Guatemala,
announces that she has received a
letter from her sister, Isobel de Ruiz,
a resident of the City of Mexico, stat
ing that she with about sixty other
Mexican women of high degree have
been imprisoned there on the charge
of attempting to incite revolution.
The sister says the women are all
confined in small, dirty cells in Belen
prison and that they are treated as
common felons.
The prisoners are not allowed to see
anyone and a trial has so far been
denied them. Appeals to President
Diaz, the writer says, have been OF
no avail and she hopes that some OF
the people in the United States will
call attention to the unjust treatment
meted out to them. Sonora de Ruiz
writes further that the story of the
arrests have been kept from the news
papers of Mexico City and that through
friend she madeS in prison she was
able to smuggle out the letter to he1
sister.
The women involved, according to the
letter. belong to a society organized
primarily for charitable purposes and
for mutual improvement and politics
is in no way involved in its affairs
The receipt of the letter has caused
Mime. Sandoval deep concern.

Word has been received in this city
from the authorities at Niles, Mich, to
the effect that a young man who died
there yesterday has been identified as

About year ago Harmer left note

in the mountains. 1t was found, how
ever, that he had fled the country. His
shortage was made good by Harmer's

ORDER FOR STRIKE
PRESIDENT OF TELEGRAPHERS
RESCINDS ACTION
Does Not Wish to Call Men Out Until
Labor Commissioner NeiIl Has
Finished His Work for
Peace
By Associated Press.

| by Associated EreSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-President
S. ]. Small of the Telegraphers' union,
it is stated, has tempo erily withdrawn
the order given the OF erators in an
other city, believed to have been to go
on strike within the next few days.
President Small, it Is said, has tele-
graphed the union which he had mailed
orders to walk out to take no action
until further advised.
This action, it is believed, was taken
by the national president of the teleg-
raphers' organization pending the ar
rival at Chicago of Labor Commission
er Neill from Washington and the out
come of his efforts there to prevent a
general strike. 1t is taken as an indi-
cation that despite the apparent hope
less deadlock between the telegraph
companies and the keymen, the chance
of a compromise of the local trouble is
not entirely dissipated.
Superintendent 1. N. Miller Jr of
the Western Union has signified his
willingness to meet the "ex-employes"
of that company, but only as "individ-
uals." This seems to be a slight con-
cession, but whether sufficient to open
up way for negotiations is doubtful.
There is no likelihood that the
strike will be extended along the
coast" said President Small.
In reply to the statement of the West
ern Union officials that they had opened
several branch offices, Mr.. Small said
that he had visited the branch offices
and found them in charge of clerks
who sent the kilograms to the Oakland
main office by messenger boys. There
were no operators at the branch offices,
he declared.
