WHITE, PUZZLE TO
POLICE, CONFESSES
ADMITS ROBBERY OF HOT RIvET
SALOON
Prisoner Caught at Yuma Declared to
Have Served Time and to
BE an Army De
serter

With an intelligence evidently acquired
by years of shrewd use of wits and with
a complacency that puzzled the police for
a time in their examination of the man.
George White, brought to Los Angeles
Saturday night, yesterday proved a
conundrum to the detectives in Captain
Hammers office.
The evidence against the man, however
was too much, and late in the afternoon
he made a full confession, acknowledging
he had, on the night of November l6, held
up the Hot Rivet saloon, 1905 North Main
street, and robbed the place of $10S40 an
coin and scrip, declare the police.
White is believed by the police to be an
all round criminal, and he himself, they
say, admits he has served time for bur-
glary and other crimes in the east. Part
Of his early life was spent in a reform
school, and later he deserted from the
artillery corps of the United States army.
White, however, claimed he had been
in Los Angeles only a short time before
the hold-up of the saloon, and declared
this was the one crime he had committed
in this city,
White was captured in the railroad
yards at Yuma. Ariz., by Detective A. N.
King of the Southern Pacific, formerly a
member OF the Los Angeles police. A
young man, thought to have been an
accomplice of White. escaped at the time
the arrest was made.

THE most rigorous effort" says the
commissioner general, "is being made
with the force at my command to re-
strain unlawful and fraudulent practices
In the public land states and to secure
evidence to prosecute those guilty of
violation of the law The field force is
totally inadequate In numbers to reach
all such offenders, hence the gross Of
tenders are more particularly sought
for.''

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The close of
the past week found a confident feel
ing prevailing in banking circles, and
at the treasury that the financial situa-
tion of the country would soon resume
it's normal state.
The Intervention of the government
two weeks ago, by which it was pro-
posed to issue $150.000,000 in new
securities, accomplished the purpose
anticipated by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Cortelyou in demonstrating
the ability of the treasury to relieve
disturbed conditions.
This result having been accom-
pllshed. the actual issues of new
securities will be only about half what
was proposed. In this respect the
present administration departed from
the policy pursued in 1893, when meas
ures of relief were usually adopted
only when they became imperative. 1t
is felt at the treasury that the wisdom
of the new policy has been vindicatei
that 1t was better to take resolute
and broad measures, even II they went
beyond the immediate needs of the
situation.
