10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TE DAY, AUGUST 25, 1898. FIND A PLANT '~ FOR MAKING BOGUS COIN Solution of a Mystery That Has Long Puzzled the | Local Detectives. Counterfeiter’s Outfit Discovered by a Mere Accident Near | San Rafael. Special Dispateh to The Call. Aug. 24.—For several er of gold SAN RAFAEIL months a clever counter: and silver coin has been at work flood- | ing the marts of trade in this county and $San Franc o with spurious money. During all this time detectives | and secret service agents have been in- dustricusly at work searching for a clew that would lead to the identity of the rogue or rogues, without any tan- ..gible result. To-d a little San Rafael schoolboy discovered by dent a clew that led the county authorities to the very spot where the bogus coin hasbeen manufactured and placed them in pos- ion of the plant. The malefactor himself is known and | to-night a United States Deputy Mar- shal is in town alding the authorities their work of discovering his where- abouts. F in | | but r a long time business men in this| city have been reporting to Sheriff Har- | rison and Under Sheriff that some person was placing counter- feit coin in circulation. In Sausalito especially has this been true. Two Cottingham | s ago a large quantity of the bo- | Louis Hughes Trainor notified United | | | buggy. Driving hurriedly back to Mrs. | Obitz’s house he learned that the man who had been living in the canyon had | applied at her house for a room about three months ago. He had secured the room, but had spent little of his time there, being seen every day to drive | | up the rough mountain road leading to | the ravine in a cart drawn by a bay horse. He was described as a man of | medium height, evidently a native of | Germany, with a florid face, high cheek bones and a sandy mustache, shot with | gray hairs. He was last seen going up the mountain road the day before yes- terday. | Trainor returned to the Sheriff’s of- | fice and was lucky enough to discover a portrait among the effects of _the! counterfeiter, which was identified by | Mrs. Obitz and others as that of the | man_ himself. Trainor at once recog- | nized it as a man whom he had arrest ed about flve weeks ago for vagrancy, who was not committed by the Justice owing to the fact that he was able to show plenty of money. He had | refused to give his name to the ar-| resting officer, but to Mrs. Obitz, at the | time of asking for a room, he had given the name of Henry Schultz, which is believed & be fictitious. | After nsulting with Constable The Culvert in the Ravine on San Rafael Hill Where the Coun terfeiting Outfit Was | Hidden. gus coin was dumped into the cc of the poolroum brokers.

Their work car o naught, however, for the | clever operator ned that detectives were on his trail and ther ter d of his money in San Franc erday little Harry Obitz, a Jacob_ Obitz, proprietress Linden roadhouse on Petaluma avenue, went hunting on San Rafael Hill. In a ravine on the northern side of the hill, about one-half mile from town, he found a part ¢f a mold for ha lars and took it home to his mother. Acting on her advice he took the piece of mold to Constable W. J. Trainor, who had the be ad him to the spot where it was found. A discovery was there made that filled him with amazement. the side of the mountain is a ard and at its lower end is a smalil ‘gulch. In this ravine, secure from ob- servation, the counter! er had his headq s. His bed was spread on PART OF A MOLD USED BY SCHULTZ IN HIS WORK. the ground under a large oak tree and various cooking utensils were scattered about, while a set of buggy hung on a tree near by. Close to the tree under which was the rogue’s bed | from the vineyard | a culvert opened above. In this culvert had been hidden a complete counterfeiter's outfit. Packed into a dry goods box were seventeen molds for coins of various denominations, from a dollar to a dime. The twenty, ten and five dollar gold coins were also represented. Acids, a bucket of charcoal and an electroplat- ing outfit were found buried at the base of the large oak. All the molds were made of cement. In addition to sundry other articles the box also contained a volume entitled the “Techno-Chemical Receipt Book.” In the book certain passages relating to the making of molds with cement and to electroplat- ing were marked in lead pencil. . Trainor secured the outfit and brought it to the Sheriff’s office in a harness | in seven weeks, and a small crowd saw | the game. Seymour's looseness in the first inning gave the home team the game.

(Drawn from a photograph discovered among the counterfelter's effects.) S Telegrams That Inconsistency of the General. NEW YORK, Aug. 24—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald sends the following: An open quarrel between Secretary Alger and Major General Miles seems inevitable. The publication this morning of an interview credited to General Miles in regard to the Santiago campaign in which General Miles makes it appear that his dispatches were garbled for ulterfor purposes by somebody in Washington and that his recommenda- tions were disregarded and his orders to General Shafter disobeyed, has ten- ded to Increase the friction which has unquestionably existed for a long time between the Secretary of War and the commanding general. In the absence of Secretary Alger no one at the department to-day would discuss for publication the reported in- terview with General Miles, but con- siderable irritation was felt through- out the War Department and every one is looking forward to some very lively times when General Miles returns to Washington. The statements attributed to General Miles are so much in line with recent publications emanating from his ECRETARY ALGE IS NOW PREPARING TO OFFSET MILES Will Show the friends here that no one questions the accuracy of the interview. The statement that the War Depart- ment garbled Miles' dispatches so as to put him in a bad light before the pub- lic is emphatically denied. It is not de- nied, however, that many of his dis- | | patches have not as yet been made | public. A complete record of all the | dispatches sent to and received from General Miles has been kept, and when | made public, I am told, will show so many inconsistencies in the various | recommendations by General Miles that ‘ considerable difficulty will be experi- enced in determining what his line of | policy has been in many cases. This | is said to be particulariy thus in re- gard to the recommendations he made about affeirs in Santiago. In anticipation of Cohgressional in- vestigation of the conduct of the war, instructions have already been given to have all the correspondence put-in | shape for transmission to Congress | when called for. Indeed, it is said Sec- retary Alger contemplates appointing boards of investigation of all subjects which promise to be matters of Con- gressional attack, In order that he may | be prepared to make a good defense "whpn the searchlight is turned on. 105 REPORTS FIERCE BATTLE Spaniards Yet Fighting in Philippines. i | SLAUGHTER OF INSURGENTS FIVE HUNDRED NATIVES SAID TO HAVE BEEN KILLED.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: Senator William P. Frye, whose appointment as the third mem- ber of the peace commission was fore- shadowed in the Herald this morning, has accepted and will meet Secretary Day and Senator Davis In this city to- morrow to confer upon the work of the commission. I was told by a member of the Cab- inet to-night that these were the only three members of the commission yet selected. The same authority stated that Justice White of the Supreme Court was still a strong probability. My informant said that former Secre- tary Tracy was no longer considered in connection with the commission. There are reasons for believing that Mt Tracy was tendered the position, but declined to serve. President McKinley expects to offi- cially announces the names of all five commissioners on Friday next, when formal instructions will be given to These will be read and acted The in- structions to be given them are now being prepared at the State Deparr- ment and will be informally discussed by Secretary Day and Senators Qavis Frye when they meet at the Stat» t to-morrow. s arrived in the city to- day and had a long conference with the President and subsequently with Secretary Day.

TYPOTHETAE OF AMERICA. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 24—The United Typothetae of America convened its twelfth annual meeting at the Hotel Pfister to-day, with about 150 delegates in attendance. A. J. Alkens, president of the Milwaukee Typothetae, and Mayor Rose welcomed the delegates, response being made by Louis A. Wy- man of Boston. The annual report of the executive committee, which furnished matters for discussion during the convention, was read. President 'W. L. Burdick, in his an- nual address, noted with pleasure that during the past year disturbances have been brought to a satisfactory settle- ment in most cases. “Employers and employes have begun to see at last that their interests are not antagonistic; tl.at one side cannot succeed by crip- pling and harassing the other,” said the speaker, “and that it is for their mutual interest to uphold and help each other in all lawful ways. I do not wish to intimate that the millennium has arrived, but surely the tendency should be in the direction of a har- mony of interests; the workman doing what he can to enable his employer to make money enough to keep out of bankruptcy and pay his weekly salary list and the proprietor to pay his hands what he can consistently afford out of the profits of his business.” Treasurer Donnelly reported a bal- ance in the treasury of $2314. President J. H. Bowman of the Inter- national Printing Pressmen and As- sistants’ Union was admitted to ad- dress the convention on a nine-hour work day, which, he said, would be demanded about September 1, and thir- ty days given the employers to meet the demand. He hoped an amicable agreement could be reached. A warm debate was had, but no ac- tion was taken by the convention up to adjournment for the day.

Prestige Would Be Irretrievably | Weakened by Presence of Americans in the Heart of Their Colonies. Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Aug. 25.—A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid by way of France says: A very unfavorable im- pression has been caused in Madrid by telegrams attributing to President Mc- Kinley the intention of instructing the peace commissioners to insist upon the cession of Luzon, that American com- merce should have the same footing as Spanish in the Philippines and that Spain should pledge itself that none of the Spanish colonies should be ceded to European powers. * | If such are the intentions of the United States Government the negotia- tions are very sure to be laborious, even if an understanding is ever arrived at. The Spaniards consider the cession of Luzon, their best and most important island, to be a death blow to their pres- tige and sovereignty in these regions, | and that, ltagrould be irretrievably | weak{.{ i fhe presence of Ameri- | cans In the Teart of their colonies. Commercial equality with the United States in the archipelago would annul | the only advantage and compensation | which they might have expected to| have derived from the cost and sacri- fices which have been necessary to maintain their rule in the archipelago. The separation of church and State would be most unpalatable to most Spaniards and would create grave dif- ficulties In their relations with the Vat- ican and the church, let alone the re- ligious orders in Spain, which are al- ways disposed to side with Don Carlos against the present dynasty. Last, but not least, any pledge to re- frain from ceding any part to the pow- ers would displease many statesmen and people of all classes who are daily more and more inclined to advocate the sale of the Spanish archipelagoes to the highest bidder, especially to the conti- nental powers most likely to be in po- | sition t¢ arrest the growth of American political and commercial influences in the Far East.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—A cable from Rome to the Sun says: It is belleved in Catholic circles that the chances of the nomination of Archbishop Ireland | of St. Paul as Cardinal at the next| papal consistory have greatly increased | in consequence of his services in the in- terests of peace during the Spanish- American war.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call REDDING, Aug. 24—Early this morning W. S. Spencer shot and Kkilled John Cummings, an ex-employe. Cum- mings had been working for Spencer on his ranch near Balls Ferry for sev- eral months. On August 6 a little dif- | ficulty arose between the men regard- ing wages. This morning, while Mr. and Mrs. Spencer were eating break- fast in their dining-room, Cummings walked in and began abusing Spencer, who told him that he wanted no | trouble with him and for him to leave | the premises. He immediately grabbed Spencer by the throat and threw him | against the table. Spencer recovered himself and went into the room where his wife was, leaving Cummings alone in the dining- room. Cummings sat down at the table, ate a few bites, then walked out of the house. again making his appear- ance on the front porch and looking through the open doorway at them. He again began his abuse, and grabbing a hatchet which was lying near by hurled it at Spencer, but missed him. Spencer reached for a shotgun which hung near the doorway and as Cum- mings advanced fired at him, hitting him. Cummings did not stop, but picked up a plece of stove wood and threw it at Spencer. Spencer dodged the missile and at the same time fired another shot. Cummings turned and walked away, passing through the gate and falling as he got outside. Spencer came to Redding and im- mediately gave himself up and' his stepson started to Anderson for as- sistance. —_—— A woman’s strength lies in her weak- ness. ADVERJISEMEN™S.
