In the party aboard were Captain of De- tectives Seymour, Superintendent Save of the Pinkerton agency, ex-Chief of Po- lice Lees, Detective Tom Gibson and the | prisoner. ' Winters was morose and sullen, | for on the trip he saw a copy of a mor. ing paper containing the picture of ihe woman he loved and for whom he stolen the gold. He resented this as a| serious reflection upon the young woman in question and the thought that she | might feel offended at the notoriety thr: upon her seemed to worry him far m than the knowledge of the predicamen! which he found himself. When the tug had tied up to the whart a patrol wagon was called and the party driven to the Hall of Justice. In the bo t tom of the wagon lay six sacks, eac I bave s warrant £or | containing from two to six bars of gold, ¢ ropose 10 BO | the whole aggregating a value of some € him back | £190,000. The gold was placcd on the floor with Captain Seymour's office, where it was tagged and notes of markings on the| | bars made. An hour later the precious | metal was lying safely in the office of the Selby Smelting Company on Mont- gomery street. Winters was closeted with the detectives for several hours. It was after 4 o'clock re a warrant for Win- ip in the jail at Mar- s committed in thie “and_we propose fo f Winters is the he is from what s all In vidence also, and as e to see that jed with of Crockett, who was said n teken to the city, but g him back.

The order to strike was gen- erally obeyed wherever the workers were organized and enrolled in the lodges of the Amalgamated Association, but it will be Monday before an accurate count can be made of the men who have gone out. A great majority of the mills close on Sat- urday and reopen Sunday night, and the true test of the strength of the contend- ing sides will be furnished by the number of men who return to work to-morrow or Monday. The policy of the American Federation of Labor has not been fully disclosed vet, and that fact contributes another element of uncertainty to the situation. The ac- | tion of the executive board of the Mine Workers at Indianapolls to-day in resolv- Ing to support the strike cheered the Amalgamated men, and they are confi- dent that the Federation will aid them to the fullest extent. The closing hours of labor lacked spectacular action. This city, which is the strike center, was calm and undisturbed. There was no violence. The police issued an order suspending for the time being the vacation system. They do not anticipate trouble, but want to have every man here ready for duty in case it should come. They say that President Shaffer has counseled peaceful methods, and that they hope the strikers n{ld their sympathizers 1 heed his ad- vice. The strikers held a series of demonstra- tions in the outlying towns and President BShaffer spoke a final word of encourage- ment to his Industrial troops. Great throngs of workers turned out to greet and cheer the ieader and to maintain the contest upon which they have entered. A striking development of the day was an official announcement from the Ameri- can Tin Plate Company to the effect that certain plants of the company crippied by the strike would be dismantled and re- moved to Monessen. The formal an- nouncement, given by Willlam Leeds after' a lengthy conference of the officials of the company, follows: The officers of the American Tin Plate Company authorize the following statement: Since the relations between the American Tin Plate Company and the workmen at Monessen have been mutually satisfactory, in- euring steady and profitable operation, it has been determined to more than double the plant at that point, and some of the mills now idle on account of the strike, declared in viola- tion of the contracts signed by the Amalga- mated Assoclation, will be dismantled and moved to Monessen. Undoubtedly this will be done In the case of works In which the senti- ment of the employes delays the resumption of work. Alimost at the game time it was unof- ficially announced that there was a chance that the plant of the American Steel Hoop Company at Warren, Ohio, would be torn down and removed to some community more favorable to the cor- poration. The order of yesterday direct- ing that the Dewees Wood plant at Mec- @ il el @ any hope of reward had been held out to ‘Winters in order to secure a confession of guilt from him. “The evidence against him was presented so forcibly to him that he could not help confessing,” sald Cap- tain Seymour. ‘““He realized that the game was up and that his only chance of es- caping a long term was to make a confes- While there was nothing sald to him about reward of a monetary charac- ter, it was intimated that the Selby peo- with him if he showed them where the gold was hidden. It is true the statements of Winters were | made with the understanding that they { would not be used against him. There is enough evidence in my judgment to con- vict him of the burglary. I am convinced Winters will plead guilty when arraigned for the crime. He will be sent to Crock- ett on Monday.” Captain Seymour denied that he had a quarrel with Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa County relative to the custody of Winters. That official was well satisfied to allow Captain Seymour to retain charge of the prisoner until Monday, when he (Veale) will escort him across the bay. guilt and offering to steer the officers to the place where the gold bars were rest- ing in their bed of mud. Winters proved to be very reticent. He barely alluded to his career in Texas, but said he came here seven years ago from the Lone Star State with $2700 in greenbacks. This money he buried in the hills near his cabin, and since that time his fru- gality enabled him to increase his hoard to $4300. When asked to disclose the hid- ing place of his little store of wealth, he laughed pleasantly and began to whistle softly to himself. His manner was that of a man who, crushed by the weight of some great misfortune, and ashamed of betraying emotion, exhibits gayety in order to mask the feelings which he seeks to conceal. He insisted that the news- papers had betrayed him, but in what manner he was unable to explain. He told of the task he had undertaken and of the herculean labor that was his before he had dumped the last of the £old bars into the waters of the bay near the railway track. Fourteen trips were required before the last of the heavy bars, the whole involving the carrying of a half ton of metal and the trotting of seven miles. Winters is a slight man and not of apparent good health. How he could find strength enough to carry some of the sacks a distance of a quarter of a mile is a matter of surprise to the de- tectives, as some of them were heavy enough to form a good load for two men. Captain Seymour praises all the detec- tives engaged in the capture of the crim- inal for their good work, but he insists that the credit of the capture rests with the S8an Francisco detective force. the reward of $25 people, the captain says he has no idea how it is to be divided. Speaking for him- self, he said he had no intention of claim- ing any part of it, although it was appa- rent that the confession was Wrang from Winters mainly through him. What dis- position will be made of the reward can- not now be determined. Shortly after his arrival In the city Detective Gibson was taken with a chiil as a result of his early morning bath and ‘With the exception of admitting his| Keesport be dismantled was already being carried out, and the announcement from the American Tin Plate Company created | a marked impression. » Say Strike Must Fail. Representatives of the strikers insisted | that the company was not in good faith | in the announcement, and that even if it was it could not win with such methods. Opponents of the strikers counted the plan_another victory, and declared that | the strike must fail in the face of such | decisive action. i The local leaders on either side did not show much activity to-day. Secretary Williams was the only Amalgamared rep- | resentative who spent the entire day at the strike headquarters. He sald that the | office would be closed this evening and ! not reopened until Monday morning. He | denied knowledge of any definlte move | for peace, and declined to talk about the | situation.’ None of the Amalgamated | leaders would discuss the conference with President Gompers of the American Fed- eration of Labor, but all wko were ap- | proached on the subject denied that there had_been any friction as to the part to be finally played by the federation. Pres- ident Corey of the Carnegle Company left this afternoon for Homestead and the other officials went home early. Schwab reached here from New York shortly after noon, but said that he was merely here on a Sunday visit to his fam- ily. The steel officials denied knowledge of any peace plan and said that they were entering upon a winning fight. They said that the Carnegie plants would lose no men; that the reports of a general strike at Wheeling were inaccurate, and that many of their Jnen would remain loyal. It was reported that they had engaged large numbers of non-union men who they planned to rush into different works af- fected by the strike early next week, but no confirmation of the statement was ob- tainable. A SIS AGREES TO ARBITRATION. President Shaffer Addresses Large Gatherings of Strikers. PITTSBURG, Aug. 10.—President Shaf- | fer began his final tour among the strik- ers early to-day. He left Pittsburg this morning, and shortly before noon reached Newcastle. ~ Two thousand organized workmen paraded there before his arrival and were lined up around the statlon as he arrived. In the afternoon he spoke to 6000 people in the amphitheater at Cas- cade Park, and submitted an offer for the submission of the issues of the strike to arbitration. This was his formal tender for arbitration: “Now, in our willingness to settle the matter we are ready to arbitrate. Let the Amalgamated Association select one man and the trust select.one man, the two to select the third. We will abide by the de- cision of the three. I wish this to be gen- erally known.” In his speech Shaffer said the strike was a mattér of wages and labor conditions, notwithstanding the efforts of the opposi- tlon to prejudice the labor cause by alle- gations to the contrary. He added: “The trust wiil not permit the extension of unionism, because it states that the Amalgamated Association might become too strong. W= can make our own deduc- tions relative to the meaning of this ex- pression.” President Shaffer stated that the news- | Kapers had been criticizing him because e had not stated whether or not there | would be an_effort to call out the carpen- | ters, railroad men and all other organiz: tions in an effort to gain a favorable ter- mination. He added: “We do not want revolution. This is merely a strike. 1 wish it understood that I stand for no violence. Our inter- ests will not permit acts antagonistic to country and law. We will avoid them if the trust will permit us. It is often asked of me, ‘Will you win out? The Amalga- ‘mated Association will win out or it will cease to exist. We realize that wages are at stake and lator conditions are at issue. If our organization dies I hope it will not have died in vain.” President Shaffer hurried to McKeesport. from Newcastle and to-night addressed a blg mass-meeting at White's Opera-house. Shaffer was loudly cheered when he ap- peared and the meeting was very enthu- siastic. The strikers claim that as a re- sult of the meeting the National Tube and Rolling Mill men will strike. In the course of his address President | Shaffer made the following statement: ““I have received from some one a let- ter saying that the workingmen have a lot of money in the banks which is being used by the trusts. This is true. The trusts are supported by the banks. Men, draw out your money, not to bring trouble on the banks or impair the credit of the house, but to assert your right to de- fend yourselves and your rights. Do not let your money be used against you. Only this week 1 was calied on the telephone by a tin manufacturer who sold out to the trust and is now an independent man- ufacturer in this State. He offered me a compromise. I called a meeting of my advisers, and this man, with another, came to the meeting. He made his propo- sition to me and I asked him to put it in writing. He would not do it, and that proposition was just what was wanted.’”” Speaking of the threat to dismantle the ! mills, President Shaffer said: “The men who made McKeesport made the trust. They now threaten our rights and deny our liberties. men of McKeesport, to throw off the op- pressors and the system of spoliation, re- venge and reprisal. This is no time for weakness; no time for truce; no time for cowardice. You cannot yield; you will not surrender, for it means reduction of wages and ignominious slavery. Let our gar- ments become threadbare; let some of us toil until we fall into our graves, but re- member this, even if the Amalgamated Association should be overthrown it would only mean a greater brotherhood of men, which would attain a glorious vietory.” The reference made by President Shaf- fer at Newcastle to-day to the willing- ness of the Amalgamated Assoclation to arbitrate was followed here to-night by the announcement on behalf of the strik- ers that on Friday an offer to arbitrate was formally submitted to the United States Steel Corporation. According to this statement, the offer was referred to . P. Morgan, whose reply rejecting it was: “This is no time for arbitration.” The subject was discussed on Friday by President Shaffer, Prcsident Gompers, Joseph Bishop, Frank Morrisson, M. M. Weyland and an unnamed official of the American Tin Plate Company, and a basis for the submission of the question agreed upon. It is believed that President Shaf- fer opposed the plan at first, but was finally won over and agreed to certain concessions-in behalf of the Amalgamated men. The strikers are using the incident in their fight. They say that they went ‘much further than could be expected, and that they have been put on the defensive in"a fight which threatens the existence of_their organization. Secretary Willlams made the following statement: “A_disinterested = party called at the Amalgamated headquartcrs and offered to use his service looking to the arbitration of the matter in dispute between the Amalgamated Association and the United States Steel Corporation. The proposition to arbitrate was turned down by the TUnited States corporation.” GOMPERS PROPOSES TO ACT. Refuses to Discuss the Issues of the Steel Strike. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—President Gompers and Secretary Morrison of the I call on you,| American Federation of Labor returned to-day from Pittsburg, where they were in conference with President Shaffer and others. Gompers declined to discuss the strike situation or plans at this time. He said that the statement-he gave out at Pittsburg yesterday covered the ground and that he had nothing to add to it. ! ..“I propose to act, not talk,” he said. “The newspapers have threshed over this strike matter too much already and I do not propose to take any part in the dis- cussion in print. The newspapers can say what they please. I have nothing what- ever to add to what I already have said. 1 stand for industrial peace and will do everything within my power to bring about ap adjustinent of the present con- flict. an® as president of ‘the federation to use my good offices, if necessary, be- tween the two sides of the conflict to set- tle the trouble.

Farther than this I cannot talk.” Shots Fired at Non-Union Man. ‘While Randall Blunt, a colored non-un- iofi teamster, was going to his work about 6 o'clock yesteiday morning some one fired a shot at him at Post and Leaven- ‘worth streets. Policeman L. L. Levings heard the shot and arrested James Martin and Edward Haynes and booked them at the City Prison on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon and an additional charge of carrying a concealed weapon in the shape of a revolver was booked against Martin. A few minutes later J. H. Styles and Charles Marks were ar- rested by Sergeant Brophy and booked on the same charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The four defendants are striking teamsters. They a.pgeared before Judge Conlan vesterday and the cases were_continued. Martin and Haynes told the Judge that they had nothing to do with the shooting, as they were a block away at the time, and the Judge released { them on $500 bonds each. The other two | defendants are still in prison. Antone T. Alborelle, a clerk with Hoop- er, Jennings & Co., grocers at 215 Front street, when on his way to work yester- day morning was stopped at Tenth and Folsom streets by a crowd of strikers and dragged off his bicycle. They beat him about the head with their fists and finally one of them seized a_bar of iron which was lying close by and struck him on the left arm, breaking the bone above the | wrist. Alborelle was taken to the Emer- gency Hospital, where Dr. McElroy dressed and set the broken bone. John Phillips, an expressman, living at 413 Oak street, was hit with a brick while driving at Seventh and Market streets at 10 o'clock last night. He suffered a severe cut over the right eye. His injury was treated at the Receiving Hospital. The identity of his assailant is not known. ——— Situation in Oakland. OAKLAND, Aug. 10.—The oil tank steamer George Loomis is being dis- charged at Alameda Point under guard of four Alameda special policemen. The brig W. G. Irwin, lumber-laden, docked at the Puget Sound Lumber Com- pany’s wharf to-day, her seamen leaving as soon as the lines were fast. The Master Painters’ Association has issued a statement declaring its purpose to stand agdinst the demands of the union and claiming that the union’s announce- ment concerning the accessions to their ranks is misleading. Such non-union help as _can be obtalned is being employed. The injunction suit brought by Bar- num’s restaurant proprietors against the Cooks’ and Waiters' Alllance has been dismissed, the differences having been settled.

Poison ©Oak Poison Ivy BOTANICAL REPTILES Their Sting Sets the SKin on Fire and Fills the Veins with a Violent, Lingering Poison These plants seem to partake of the nature and character of the serpent; in winter time being comparatively harmless, but when warmed into life by spring and summer heat they become extremely venomous and spiteful, emitting a milky juice that burns and blisters like a fiery acid, producing quick inflammation and painful swelling. Some persons are so susceptible to these vegetable poisons that coming in their vicinity will produce almost as much discomfort and pain as handling them; their thin and sensitive skins seem to absorb from the surrounding atmosphere the acrid juices e seldom a picnic or family gathering in the woods but that some mem- ber of the party comes in contact with Poison Ivy, Oak or some other hurtful plant or weed, and through the open pores the poison is carried to the overheated blood. Poison Ivy is found clinging to tree trunks, fences or rocks, sometimes reach- manating from these plants. Anothcr shipment to our already attractive line of dressers.

Many circumstances have come to light that point to her as a sweetheart of the confessed bullion thief. A week ago to- day a package valued at about $0 was dellvered at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in this city addressed to Miss Ida Spencer. George Woods, a driver of the San Ra- fael Express Company, took the parcel into the hotel and delivered it to Mrs. Spen- cer, the girl’'s mother. Woods says that at that time Mrs. Spencer said, “This is a wedding dres: at any rate both mother and daughter were very particu- lar and demanded that they be allowed to examine the contents of the package before receiving it. The express company next day secured the desired permission from Hale Broth- ers, from whom the purchase was made, and on the 5th Miss Spencer accepted the package. To-night Miss Spencer denied 1}:“ W!nter; wu|s m:i\'thln more to her than any other bozrder who had stay: with them. She sald: ol “I feel sorry that Le has been proven guilty. I can hardly believe that he could commit such a crime. Oh, how cool he acted on Tuesday. It did not seem possi- ble that he could be guiity. No, positive- Iy, we were mever cngaged nor nothin like it. He was just a boarder, that's all. If he should dget out to-morrow our -doors will be closed to him. Our acquaintance- ship is at an end.” In spite of Miss Spencer’s denials there are several people here who claim that Winters has taken her out buggy riding several times at least during the last few months. LEES AND SEYMOUR HAVE A HOT TILT On Friday afternoon when ex-Chief Lees, Captain Seymour and Superintend- ler ROPFA had their long session preparatory to the securing of the con- fession of Winters the old Chief and the new captain fell into a wordy war over the plan of action®to be followed. Both talked loud and long, and for a time it Jooked as if the confession would never be wrested from Winters if both worked in_conjunction. = . For a time neither detective would give way, £0 both took separate turns in cross- uestioning the witness. Then Von der opp arrived and harmony was restored. BLOOD SATURATED WITH POISON OAK. Mr. John Friel, of Bear Station, Del., writes: “I was poisoned with poison oak which went through my blood, and my condition became so serious that the doctors all said I could not get well. I remained in a precarious condition, con- fined to the house, for six months, when I saw 8. 8. 8. advertised and began its use, soon realizing that it was doing me good. I continued the medicine and was cured entirely. I think it the best blood medicine made.” white. in appearance, the poisonous effects are very similar. After the swelling subsides the skin remains for a long time in a rough and inflamed condition, dotted here and there with bad looking ulcers and little festering sores. It is truly remarkable with what regularity and certainty the disease returns, and always on schedule time, appearing the same month, day and hour, almost, that it did the year before. Don’t be deceived should all the signs of the poison vanish soon after the first attack—the acrid juices have been taken through the open skin pores into the blood, and the most persistent and faithful use of external remedies can never dislodge them, and next season, and for years to come, you may expect to endure the same bodily tortures; the blood in the meantime becoming so saturated and charged with the poison that each succeeding attack leaves the body weaker and recovery more uncertain and slow, and thus the once simple malady ends disastrously. For every poisonous plant, tree, shrub or flower, nature has wisely provided an antidote or cure. herbs of which S. S. S. is composed quickly, surely and rmanently overcome and drive out of the blood and system the effects of Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Virginia Creeper, Thunder Weed, Sumac and vegetable poisons of every variety. S.S.S. will be found an invaluable and perfect antidote for poisons of this class. ~ There is never any return of the aggravating symptoms after a ison. failures.Po State your case to our doctors; we feel” you nothing and is strictly confidential.
