WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Robbery
of the United States mint at San
Francisco was admitted by Treasury
officials here to-day. How extensive
the robbery may be is not known So
far the Governments losses total 81.
This is believed due to the fact that
the count Of coin has been stopped
pending instructions from Washing
ton.
The 81 was taken from stacked sill
yer 81 pieces, The peculation was
discovered by a slight variation in
weight Of four stacks, each supposed
TO contain 1000 silver dollars. Pig
iron washers We're substituted. Seals
on these stacks were unbroken. This
leads Director Of the Mint Roberts to
believe that the theft was perpetrated
by a sleight-of- artist in the
gang that sacked the coin.
