LEAD ING COMMERCIAL BODY PROTESTS AGAINST DISORDER AND ADVISES IMMEDIATE ISSUANCE - OF PROCLAMATION AND AN INCREASE OF POLICE o [SEAL] (S8igned) PROTECT SAN FRANCISCO, August 9, 1901. O THE HONORABLE. JAMES D. PHELAN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO, CITY HALL—Sir: The Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco ecarnestly calls your attention to the condition of affairs of this city and to the absolute necessity of prompt and decisive action to avert the loss of-lives of its residents, the threatened destruction of its industrics, the restraint of its commerce, and to that which threatens the inalienable and constitutional right of its citizens to liberty of action and protection in their lawful pursuits. Believing that the interests of the community will be best served by an official proclamation from you that no man has the jiinterfere with another in his pursuit of any lawful occupation, that acts of intimidation and violence must cease, and that as chict executive of the city you will preserve the peace and properly protect one and all, we therefore urge upon you to issue such a proclamation. It appears to the Chamber of Commerce that in your cxalted official position you can improve the present situation and safeguard the future by stating, in unqualified terms, that violence will not be tolerated; that, at any cost, men who work will be protected, and by making it clear that the city is responsible for every dollar of damage to person or property through riotous disturbances. it is also necessary to provide means for continuing and increcasing the protection the authorities are rendering thc community in its attempt to conduct its affairs. If the laws and finances of this municipality do not admit of an immediate augmentation of the police force, steps should at once be taken to call upon the properly constituted officers for State aid. By order of the Board of Trustees. E. 8COTT, Secretary. (Signed) CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CALLS UPON THE MAYOR TO PRESERVE THE PEACE AND ALL CITIZENS. -rlght to GEO. A.

Arrangements have been made with the Park Commissioners for the use of their sprinkling wagons. The two sprinkling Wagons now in use on the county roads will also be pressed into service.

Secretary Park of the Board of Public ‘Works said yesterday that it was the in- tention of the board to employ only men who own teams. He stated that the board had a number of men working in the Corporation Yard with their own teams and that the union had as yet made no,_obijection.

Lees and Seymour prodded him at periods, ‘working always for a confession from the suspect. WINTERS IS TAKEN ON BOARD THE SEA WITCH Late in the afternoon there was a hurry and scurry in the captain’s private room. A messenger vw.as sent out to have a tu in readiness at the Vallejo street whar?, but the consuitation still went on. tectives came in and out and once again was Winters strapped to the table. Then the conference ended and Lees, Seymour, Von der Ropp, Crockett, Winters and e three detectives passed out by the generally unused exit into the street. All tried to hide their destination. Down Commercial street went Seymour gfrock- ett and the prisoner. Lees and Won der Ropp took a different course, but they ail met at the Vallejo street wharf, where the tug Sea Witch was in waitis Then the rumor passed that had confessed his complicity in the crime and that the search was to be one for g01d and that this night trip by water would end the greatest of all bullion rob- beries as far as a great crime and its de- tection and the recovery of the thiel’s haul were concerned. The Sea Witch slipped her cable a few minutes after the entire party was on board and she pointed her prow toward the north shore. WITH LIGHTS OUT TUG LANDS AT SELBY’S WHARFT Up the bay the tug steamed, trying to shake off all following by running with- out lights. The first landing was made at Belby's wharf. ¥rom the dark of the night the watchman was called by Super- intendent von der Ropp and a few mo- ments later the Sea Witch made fast to | the piles. Then there was a hurrying and_ scurrying of detectives doing duty at the works. Word was given out to the watchmen to gather in Detective Silvey, Ceptain Savers of the Pinkerton force and Constable Mofles. Tom Gibson was &t the wharf at the time awalting the tug’s arrival. ¥earing a discovery of the intended course of ihe tug an order was issued by ex-Chief Lees, who was evi- dently in charge of the gold seekers, to nfi’i‘nters | steam out into the bay at once. The course then lay toward the Carquinez Straits. After drifting aimlessly in_ the stream for some little time the Sea Witch headed for the wharf at the Crockett sugar refinery and was then tled up. Or- ders could be heard given to the captain and crew to allow no one on board. Guards were posted and every preuuuqn taken to insure the secrecy of the boat’s mission. PARTY DISEMBARKS AT CROCKETT FOR NIGHT A few minutes after this the gang lank was run out and Lees, Seymour, on der Ropp, Crockett and Winters came ashore. Through the gates of the refinery and up the steep wooden walk to the Crockett Hotel detectives and prisoner found their way in the darkness. Winters was taken in through the back entrance and smuggled into a suite of rooms on the top fioor, usually occupied by the hotel proprietor. It was thought that a fresh start would be made to the spot where Winters is supposed to have hidden the stolen gcld. | Minute after minute passed and no sifn | of intended action was made by the de- tectives. Gibson was left on the tug to sec that no information was obtained from the tug _men and Gibson himself | claimed that Seymour and Lees had told | him nothing of the reasons that called | for the trip of the party on the tug. | Shcrtly before midnight a positive assur- | ance was given by some of the detectives | that no start would be made until day- light and the hotel men then admitted that Seymour and others had left orders o be called sharp at 6 in the morning. e g, SHERIFF VEALE SCORES LEES AND ASSOCIATES CROCKETT, Aug. 9.—There is a big fight on between Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa County and Lees, Seymour and the rest of the San Francisco detectives. Veale has just had a wordy war with | Lees in the rooms of the hotel. The men were shouting at the top of their voices, waking up the guests In the hotel. Veale was not informed of the move made by Lees and Seymour, and when he returned | 3 from Antioch he found all the parties on the scene of the robbery. Veale went to Lees and demanded why he had been given the double cross, and said he wanted possession of Winters. Lees replied: “T will give him to you when I am good and ready.” Veale answered that he would get a warrant for Winters and prevent Lees holding him in custody. Lees was wild with rage and shouted at the top of his voice: dare you to do it, by God!” ‘Why didn’t you tell me what was do- ng here to-night?” demanded Veale. “Because tue —— newspapers have hounded us in the city; they even had the nerve to follow us in launches over here. We found one of them on the wharf at Selbys, where we went to pick up the detectives, and then when we came up here to Crockett they followed us here and are hounding our footsteps. “I don't care what the papers are do- ing,” sald Veale. “They are supposed to get the news, and it is right that they should get it. I have worked up all the evidence in_ this case and turned it over to you, and now you have thrown me down and are trying to get all the glory and the reward also, I warn you that vou are in the county of which I am Sherift and that this prisoner must be turned over to me. You are not a police officer, and if you attempt to take this man from the hotel T will put you all under arrest.” Lees fairly quivered with rage, and two of his associates had to hold him in a chair. e PPN Sae e DETECTIVES SEEK AN - ALLEGED CONFEDERATE VALLEJO, Aug. 9.—Pinkerton detectives were here to-day working on a plan that Winters had a confederate who is an em- ploye in the Mare Island Navy Yard. This employe is a machinist, who at the present time and since July 30 is on fif- teen days’ vacation. The employe is not in town and went away without saying where he was going. This afternoon de- tectives were seeking his abiding place in this city to ascertain if he has in his ossession” Government tools that might ave been used for cutting into the safe. They have information that he was a friend of Winters, and there is a belief that this navy yard employe is the one who had use for the sailboat that was borrowed from young ‘“‘Garfield” by the “Jesse James" now held in this city. This boat was borrowed on Monday from the South Vallejo fisherman and it was to be returned on Tuesday morning. It was not returned until Thursday. ~During the dark hours of the night of the robbery the tide was flooding strong, even till the hour of 4 a. m. The sleuths will drag the bay for the tools that were used in cut- ting into the safe and this will be done in the viclnity of the smelting works. They -expect, if able to find these tools, to show that they were taken from the navy yard and belong to the Government and that they were taken by this ma- chinist, the friend of Winters. The fas- tening of the crime on Winters depends much now on the finding of these tools. SCOURING THE BAY FOR MISSING GOLD CROCKETT, Aug. 9.—There is little doubt in the minds of the detective offi- cers who are at work on the robbery at Selby’s Smelting Works that the gold bars are lying beneath the waters of the Car- quinez Stralts, not far from the railroad track that skirts along the shore. The work of dredging the water was resumed this afternoon and will be kept up for some time. The first to claim that the booty had been dumped into the bay was Constable Molles of this town, and though his theory was at first not thought tangible the rest of the sleuths are now compelled to admit that Molles has the right idea. ne has to be on the scene of the rob- bery to realize that it was utterly impos- sible for the robber, or robbers, to pack a half a ton of gold any distance, and bury it on land. The officials of the Selby Works stated this. morning that they did not think 't was possible for a man, no matter how strong he might be, to pick the booty for any distance into the hills that surround the works. It would have taken many hours to'land the gold bars on top of th= hills, and there was the danger of dis- covery by men who on Monday night were at certain points on the railroad tracks that the robber. or robbers, must have utilized. Just as carefully as the cracking of the Selby bullion vault was planned, so the master mind that engineered the plot .thought out in advance how to dispose of the stolen gold bars. This morning ex-Chief of Police Lees departed for San Francisco, taking with him the large pair of bolt cutters found in the cabin of John Winters, alias “Buck Taylor.” The detectives are anxious to find out where the bolt cutters were pur- chased. The implement is quite new and does not bear any marks of having been used. Winters claims that he found the cutters in the attic of his cabin. STILL SEARCHING i FOR MORE EVIDENCE The search of his cabin also disclosed a ainter’s ‘“salamander,” ordinarily used or blistering paint. 'The discovery of these two articles lead the officers to be- lieve that Winters secured them for the purpose of cutting away any iron bolts that might have been found on the bot- tom of the safe. The ‘“salamander” would have been used to make the protruding bolts red hot and the bolt cutter would have been utilized to cut the bolts away. The bolt cutter is of black iron with bright steel jaws. It is just two feet long and bears the following wording on one side: Porter's easy bolt clipper. Rigit patented April 6, '80; Jan. 18, '81; Aug. 3, ’8l. On the reverse side the words “Cut no steel” apbpear on a steel plate fastened below the cutting jaws. Along the han- dles of this side are the words: *‘Size No. 1. Cuts off half-inch bolts. Oil the joints, cutting edges.”” On the cutting jaws is the number *6075."" S 1f the detectives can find where the cut- ters were purchased and when, they hope to be able to prove that Winters was the man who purchased them. Another significant find in Winters’ cabin was a bicycle electric lamp. It bears no sign of ever ha.vhg bfen at- tacked to a bicycle and is perfectly new. The various articles found in Winters’ cabin are just the kind that would be used in breaking into a safe under the circum- stances of last Monday night. The port- able electric lights were to allow the thief to work in the nndetgrrhound space beneath the bullion safe. e wooden pegs fitted, not into the holes drilled into the bottom of the vault, but jnto holes in the side of the wooden walls of the Selby building, N . the framework made by the thief to hide the entrance to the tunnel would be supported and kept in place. Many holes are to be found in the planks that form the side of the building, these holes hav- ing been drilled with an auger just above the edge of the hole where e robber crawled beneath the walls. TOAdaK(Detectlve Tom Gibson and Con- stuble oiles made a careful measure- ment ‘of the tunnel and hole beneath the bullion safe. They were strong in their opinion that the man ‘who planned the robbery was perfectly familiar with the modus operandi of taking gold and silver into the boiler plate room. The width of the door of the safe just allows for the passage of the narrow truck on which the bullion is moved around the building and carried into the safe. The robber calcu- lated to a fraction of an inch just where the wheels of the truck would pass along the floor of the vault. If he had miscal- culated in boring through the bottom of the vault he would have weakened the soct and the heavy weight of a passing truck might have broken through the flcor. ““The man who did the trick,” said Cibson and Moiles this morning, ‘‘was just as familiar with the safe and how gold rvu placed in it as any one in the build- ng."” PETE DONALDSON IS . SEVERELY QUESTIONED Before ex-Chief Lees left for the city to- day he joined Captain Sayers of the Pinkertons in examining Pete Donaldson, the employe of the smelter, who is known to_have associated with Winters. Donaldson was put through a rigid ex- amination and his answers were carefully noted by the detectives. Donaldson is a reticent fellow and tried to evade many questions, but the officers persisted and forced Donaldson to mafke reply. That the bulllon thief had an accomplice may be taken for granted. and the de- tectives say that the second man wanted is an employe of the smelter. Donaldson's actions last Tuesday caused suspicion to be thrown in his direction. When the news of the robbery became known and the detectives were searching Winters’ cgbin they were surprised to find that onaldson left his work and came up the hill to watch operations. When asked what he wanted around Winters' cabin Donaldson replied that he suspected Winters and wanted to see what the force so that | of detectives had brought to light. The officers to-day have been making a search of the surrounding towns to try to dg_ucover where any quantity of “pap- rika” had been purchased. It was not red pepper that was strewn around by the man or men who looted the bullion Yatlt, but a preparation that is known as ‘paprika.” ch amusement has been created to- day by the ridiculous work of a sensa- ticnal ~ San Francisco daily.
