PLAN T0 AR AN JOSE BANK | Two Crooks Confess Daring Plot to Garden City Officials. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. and George Hazel the Sheriff’s office has captured two desperate and experienced crooks. Besides confessing to the burg- | lary of the Mathewson residence on North Ninth street, they admitted under the “sweating” process to-day to Sherift Langford that they had planned the rob- bery of the Commercial and Savings Bank of this city. They had been in the city ba month, during which time they hqd familiarized themselves with the bgnks premises at the corner of First and Foun- tain streets. While these plans were ma- turing they committed no less than a dozen burglaries, and the officers became so close on their trail that they were obliged to leave the city. Last Saturday they were arrested at Watsonville by Deputy Sheriff White. Since having been brought ese crimes. lthP, plot of Johnson and Hazel to rob the Commercial and Savings | daring one. They had learned that for | a few minutes during the mnoon hour Cashier McGeoghegan was the sole official at the bank. the bank at this time, engage the cashier in conversation, and when his attention was attracted one of them was to cover him with a revolver. The door of the bank was then to be Clo? and while one held the cashier at bay ghe other was to dump the money into sacks they had con- cealed about their persons. A buggy was to be in walting outside. The cashier would then be gagged and placed in the bank office. The robbers their bags of gold out to the buggy, climb in and drive off into the hills, where the booty would be cached. The team would then be returned to San Jose and tied on the streets. Johnson and Hazel believed the plan would be successful and intended to carry it out had they not been compelled to leave because of the burglaries they com- mitted. As it was, they intended to re- turn to commit the robbery. The men are believed to be Eastern crooks. They have been charged with burglary, and pending their conviction an attempt will be made to obtain their records from the East. Thief Raids Dental Parlors.

Tt is probable it will | be somewhat critical in form, but thers has been no proof of wrongdoing. The | medal episode has peen explained, the { money spent has been accounted for, the headquarters has been justified, even by Milis, and all that remains is a contract or two that Emlay says he was wrong in making, and that the commission ‘“called | him down” for obtaining. The fact that the commission knew very little about the work and doings of its subordinates stands out in bold relief, however, ani probably will be the burden of part of the report from the committee. Foote was the first witness called this afternoon. He explained the episode in which the Alaska Packers' Assoclation award was raised from a stlver to a gold medal on a re-examination, but he denied that the fact that he had stock in the conce! interested him in the award, and he declared he had no further hand In lsthe change than to suggest that some- | thing ought to be done to have the award made better.

SEATTLE, Feb. 6.—A. M. Robinette, the | former Sacramentan, who confessed to | the police last night that he kidnaped and murdered the 4-year-old child of Mrs. Clara Kavanaugh because she deserted him and married A. D. Colburn, was taken before Chief of Police Meredith to- day and questioned. At first he was sul- len and refused to disclose what he had done with the child. At last, however, he admitted that he had not committed mur- der, but refused to tell where the little one was secreted. He was returned to his cell, where he is still confined. The police finally succeeded in locatin the child in & room on the third floor of the Alhambra lodging-house. It appears that Robinette had a room at the Ven- dome and also one at the Alhambra. At the latter place he locked up the child and then went out on a spree. Mrs. Colburn _swore to a complaint to- day charging Robinette with kidnaping. The case will come up to-morrow in the | Justice Court.

Emlay was called to tell over again about his connection with the medals, and in this connection two telegrams were read, one asking Lathoud who sold Emlay the medals, what he had charged, and the other in which Lathoud answered, “Em- lay pays for medals—Grand $35, Gold $30, Argent $25, Bronze $20,""fhe figures in each case being taken to mean dollars. These are the prices for which Emlay sold the medals. A C. L. P. Marals, the commercial agent, was the last witness. He hewed close to the line in several matters, but could not be induced to make any definite state- | ment in regard to the doings at head- | quarters, except to say that every one drank. He was questioned about the time Truman saw Runyon off for home, ayd he said it was evident then that Truman had been drinking too much. He went into the medal controversy, but added nothing to it, and he said a little about the flow of wine. In this connection he sald that as far back as two months be- | fore the close of the fair, Truman had prepared a list of the wine he had taken and had given it to Marais to use, “in case an investigation was held.” Even as far back as that the wily Truman had an idea of what was coming. A few parting questions were fired at PEANUTS THEIR SINGLE RATION Peculiar Religious Sect Is Gaining Converts in Vancouver. ——— e Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 6.—A peculiar religious sect, the feature of whose singu- lar beliefs is based upon the eating of peanuts as their prineipal article of food, is thriving in Vancouver, and throughout British Columbifa. There are 200 members in the new church in Vancouver, and their numbers are growing daily. Six months ago the sect was first formed as a branch of the Seventh Day Adventists, and now it has gone so far as to erect mills equip- ped with machinery for the grinding and manufacture of various kinds of food from peanuts. In abstract bellef, one of the principal opinions held by the new organization is that Christ will appear on earth within a few months and perhaps within only a few weeks. They therefore wish to be prepared, in order that they may “shuffle off this mortal coil” with no difficulty. That they might be able to do this when the time comes they made searching in- vestigation of the most healthful and pur- est foods, and came to the conclusion that peanuts were the most proper diet. Their leader, James Charman, who was former- ly a minister in the Adventist church, was sent to New York, and there made a con- tract for a large weekly shipment of pea- nuts to Vancouver. Suitable works have been erected and equipped with machin- ery, and now ‘all kinds of peanut products | are being turned out. The peanuts are first boiled, and then ground into a meal, and are used to make nearly every kind of baked and cooked dishes in which flour is ordinarily em- ployed.” Brazil nuts and walnuts are used gy way of variety, but these three con- stitute’ almost the entire means of sus- tenance of the 200 persons in Vancouver who belong to this queer sect. Several onaries of the new move- ment have lately been sent out through vince and they report that th hS Brin oo headway in the conver- sion of people to the gtrange belief. —_— Hansen ‘With Murder.

Some unfriendly questions were asked, which necessitated a defense of the bill by Irish. It happened that Ralston wasl in the chair. Ralston originally made/ st the bill during its career | e ut agreed to withdraw his opposition in view of representations to him at the meeting of the Miners' Asso- ciation Saturday night that Colonel Heuer [ of the Government engineers would rec- ommend to the Federal Government that | no money whatever be expended until the | entire amount necessary for the con-) struetion of the system was avallable. Chandler expressed a fear that the dams would not be permanently success- ful, but that in the course of twenty vears they would give way and the whole | of the tmpounded debris would be swept down the rivers, devastating the valleys and impeding navigation. . Irish explained that _the restraining dam was to be of solid stone mason built to last for ages. catch the coarse debris and turn the cur-| rent laden with light sediment into a canal carrying it into a settling basin en- tirely outside of the river basin. The silt deposited in this settling basin, be-| ing away from th&® river basin™ would never be carried down by floods or the | giving away of dams. Carter asked whether it was reason-| ably certain that hydraulic mining could | be resumed after the impounding system’s construction; also whether the bill were for the benefit of the agriculturists or the miners. ? “We clalm,” replied Irish, “that it is| for the benefit of the entire State. In| my opinion within flve years the increase | in the tax rolls in the hydraulic mining | district would return to the State in taxes the entire $i00,000 appropriated. A total | of $100,000,000 was invested in hydraulic | mines when they were closed down. The mines became at once worthless. The | construction_of the impounding system | will return these values to the list of tax- | able property. It is a mistaken idea that | the entire country of the hydraulic region may be washed down into the valleys. | The mines are limited In area, just as guartz mines are, and they probably will | be worked out within twenty years after | the resumption of work in them. We cer- | tainly believe that the system gvill be a | success, and that mining may bedresumed and that agricuiture and navigation will be protected.” The report of the committes of the whole that the bill pass was adopted without a negative vote and the bill as read a second time. Ralston’s bill reducing the salary of the ( Debris Commissioner from $3600 to $800 | per year came up on second reading. | Ralston asserted that for the past eight years the Debris Commissioner had had | no duties to perform other than drawing | his salary and that the State had paid to him and his secretary $35,000. He ex-| plained that when construction work should begin on the debris impounding | system the Debris Commissioner would | have only the duty of perfunctory inspec- | tion and of signing the warrants drawn against the State's-appropriation. For this one day’s work in every month he would receive $50 under the new bill, which the author and others considered | very liberal compensation. Ex-Senator E. Voorheis of Amador, president of the California Minars’ Asso- clation, arrived last night from San Fran- cisco. He took an active interest in the mining bill, urging leaders of the Assem- | bly to support the appropriation. —_— TABOOES BHE HOLDING OF FAIRS IN CHURCHES| Senate Votes Down Cutter’s Proposed Constitutional Amend- ment.
