The minister is a graduate of the Ohio Weslevan Univer- sity and is about 48 years of age. Before coming here he had been traveling in Europe for a period of twelve months. many calls from Eastern churches, but believing there was a good field on. this coast he accepted the call from the Cen- tral M.

Teachers who | bave two grades in their classes pleaded for the study of only one poem instead of two, as difficulty was encountered in com- pleting the study since the ‘“no home study law” has been put in force..

Bar Found Yesterday Bears Mark Not on the Selby List. ML Prisoner Accused of Having Hidden Some of the Bullion at Place ? Other Than the One Told Of. John Winters, the robber, who looted the vault of the Selby Smelting Works at Vallejo Junction last Tuesday morning, secured as his booty gold bulllon to the value of $320,000, or nearly $50,000 more than the sum originally given. An error was made in compiling the list of stolen bars. A bar recovered yesterday from the waters of the bay near Vallejo Junction bore a number not found in the printed reward list. Chief Bookkeeper Arthur Beam of the Selby works stated last evening that a revision of the books showed that Winters had secured $320,000 worth of bullion. It is believed by the detectives that ‘Winters did not place all the gold bars in one spot. The sleuths are of the opinion that Winters has hidden some of them on land and that he hopes to secure them in’the future, at the same time account- ing for the non-recovery of all the gold from the bay by the excuse that some of the bullion slipped down through the mud into deep water. Two more bricks, valued at $24,492, were recovered yesterday. Winters spent yesterday in thé prison at the Hall of Justice in this city, and he kept up the game of ‘“playing crazy” whenever he was approached by news- paper representatives. Detective Tom Gibson and Pinkerton Agent Sayers spent yesterday morning in diving at the spot where the gold was dumped. They worked three hours. The incoming tide put an end to their opera- tions. One of the bars recovered yesterday bore a number not published in the orig- TUp to ves- terday the amount of gdld bullion recov- ered figured $2:,000, and the Selbys state that there are still four bars to be fished | for, the value of the same being $65,000. he detectives were of opinicn yester- that the four missing bars of gold had been placed by Winters in another hiding place, and Detective 'Gibson came over to the city from Crockett in order to | have a talk with the gold thief. Winters assured the officer that he had dumped all the loot from the Selby vault at the spot in the bay he had pointed out. De- tective Gibson wanted to take Winters back to Crockett, but after talking with ! hurried to ! the prisoner the detective catch a train and return to the scene of the robbery. Sheriff Veale of Conira Costa County and Constable Moiles of Crockett were in the city yesterday the Hall of Justice. Chief of Detectives Seymour had sent word to the Sheriff that he desired him to come after the robber, but Veale did not put in an appearance at the City Prison. Winters was told that he weuld be taken to Contra Costa County yvesterday and be became very excited. His conduct leads to the belief that he is feigning insanity in order to escape his well-deserved punishment. Winters is willing to talk about the robbery and pcses as a great criminal, but he will not tell just how much he was offered by ex-Chief of Police Lees to dis- close where he had placed his booty. Winters denied vesterday that he had told any one that he had been promised $5000 and a short sentence in order to con- fess as to where the gold was hidden. “T won't tell you a thing about it,” he said, “and any statements that I have talked about the matter are lies. But you can bet that [ won't go to prison and I won’t have to work for a long time. I know what I am talking about.” It is expected that Sheriff Veale will al- low Winters to remain in the City Prison at the Hall of Justice until the balance of the loot is recovered from the waters of the bay. He will then be taken to Mar- tinez and prosecuted. Knowlton Denies Charge. Joseph Knowlton, charged with having embezzled $120 from the Ira H. and J. H.

HE lumbermen who have been planning for the past year or more to make a handsome profit out of the State in the sale of lands in the Big Basin country at $100 per acre have been routed. The Call told first of this plan, ani has since been vigorously abused for that act by those who stood to win if the deal could be carried through. This jourral desired to have the State pay only a falr price for the lands in question. Its fearless presentation of facts has borne good fruit. The Redwood Park Commission will not submit to imposi- tion, nor will 1t take up any proposition without due and careful consideration. A park will be acquired. If the lumbermen insist upon an extortionate price the right of eminent domain will be used in con- demnation proceedings, and nothing but the actual value will be given in return for the forest recervation which is sought by the State. Good citizens will hail this victory of The Call for the public from one end of the State to the other. One of the Commissioners sald to a re- | porter for The Call yesterday: “There is | no doubt, as The Call has set forth, that the very lands that are held for the State under the supposition that we will buy | them at $100 per acre have been sold in | the past eighteen months for very much | less money. Indeed, we have found that | tracts in the very ‘cream of the forest, | belonging. to Timothy Hopkins, have in | that period changed hands for $40 and $50 | per acre. I personally might be willing to | give the Big Basin Lumber Company an | advance on the actual value of the lands for timber, considering that they are eli- | gible for a park. Perhaps I would even {allow them an advance of 25 per cent in | some instances. but a profit of 110 per | cent is altogetner out of reason and is ex- tortionate. Commission’s Position Stated. “It is true that the commission, as The Call has stated, was invited to go into the Big Basin whiie the Sempervirens Club was there as the guest of the club. Tt might as well be understood that the Commissioners do not wish to go there under such conditions. We do not wish to be under any obligations to any one. Moreover, we will not deal with any one except the owners of the land, and not then until we have from them a cleancut proposition, accompanied by the neces- sary maps and descriptions. The Semper- i virens Club has the land to the extent of | about 2500 acres under a bond. This bond iwm expire September 1. “It must not be supposed that the com- | mission will not be able to accurately de- termine what the actual value of the land is. An advisory committee has been ap- pointed, which ‘includes as expert judges of timber lands as there are in the State. Among these are Captain Charlés Nelson, Robert Dollar, General N. P. Chipman, Hervey Lindley and W. W. Van Arsdale. There is also expert knowledge of timber lands on the part of two members of the commission. It will not do for the lum- i bermen to point out that a certain tree | will produce so many shakes, etc., and so | estimate its value. There are questions | concerning what it will cost to get it to market and woat the net profit will be, PEKING MAKES PORT AT LAST | Three Days Behind Time at Honolulu Owing to Delays.

Honolulu were wondering | what was the matter with the Peking, as they did not know_she was over thirty hours late leaving Yokohama. Then she encountered heavy weather on the run across and that delayed her still more. She reached Honolulu at 3 a. m. on the 5th and sailed again the next day. The gunboat Bennington from the Or- ient and the cruiser Philadelphia from Samoa were at Honolulu when the Peking salled. The Philadelphia was to sall on the 7th inst, The gunboat Petrel from the Orlent left Honolulu for San Francisco on the 3d inst. The Oceanic Steams.in Company's So- noma also made port last night. She came in through the fog about 9 p. m. and anchored in the lower bay. She also was late in getting to Honolulu and did not get away until considerably after her schedule time on the 6th inst. She will dock this morning and land her passen- gers as soon as she passes quarantine. Crossed the Rockies Awheel. Winter Zero Swartsel, an enthusiastic cyclist of Dayton, Ohio, arrived here yes- tetday, having come the entire distance awheel. He is visiting his brother, 8. J. Swartsel, who lives at 1016 Broderick street. ‘Swartsel left his Ohio home eight weeks ago in company with S. A. Popst, an Otterbein student.

The distance ridden, as recorded on his cy- clometer, was 3288 miles and never a punc- ture during the whole journey. Swartsel rode frem Dayton to New York last sum- mer in company with his brother Horace. He says he prefers the Rocky Mountains as a bicycle path to the Ozarks in Mis- sourl. Putting his last summer’s trip with the one just finished, he has wheeled from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He will return by rail. ————————— Five Prisoners Escape. LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 13.—Five pris- oners escaped from the County Jail last night by cutting a hole eighteen inches square through a thick brick wall lined with steel. They used a brace and bit and were assisted by accomplices outside the jail. The fugitives are: John R. Reamer, Frank Smith and Charles Smith, catttle thieves; Charles Paine, burglar, and Max Mox, an Indian. No trace of them has been found. —_—————————— Verus cures piles or $50 reward.

The Com- missioners refuse to be led into the blind acceptance of lands at $100 per acre for a park, and will have every forty-acre tract carefully es- timated. A way to acquire the needed area at a reasonable price is open for which the act of the Legislature when values are put on that footing. Possible Hotel Scheme. “The Commissioners were informed some time ago that two tracts would be offered to the State. One of these em- braced 700 acres and the other 1200 acres. Between the two tracts was a distance of about two miles. Of course, a hotel could be placed by private individuals in that intervening space, and the work of the Commissioners in improving the park would be largely in the nature of ng grounds_for a hotel if we took up witl any such idea. At our first meeting we therefore voted that all the lands must be contiguous. Since then a tract has been suggested which includes the _1200-acre tract but not the 700-acre tract, the latter including the choicest timber. Around the 1200-acre tract are other lands which the commission will be offered to make up a tract of 300 acres, so I am credibly informed. But those lands are not as good as those which Timothy Hopkins sold a few months ago for $40 and $50 per acre. In the tract of 2500 acres, so made up, is a_jog which includes about 300 acres. The explanation given by Mr, Middleton concerning the exclusion of this jog from the tract is that there is litigation concerning the ownership. That explanation is not good, for the State can condemn the land just the same and settle with the owners when the courts determine where the title is vested. Cannot Deal With Club. “Possibly that jog might be used by private individuals for a hotel site if the State bought the tract that surrounded it on three sides. We will not deal with the Sempervirens Club. I think that the club people are honest lovers of the forest and are all right, but possibly they are being used. When a.club appears to be urging the establishment of a park that gives the enterprise a look of public spirit. If the same.thing was done by private own- ers the motive of selfishness would be more easily inferred. Every one under- stands that when there is State money to expend there is an expectation of get- ting a big price. There will be no realiza- tion of anything of the sort in this in- stance. Every tract of forty acres will have the timber upon it estimated by ex- perts. The real value will not be difficult to reach.” This authoritative statement of one of the Commissioners in behalf of the board will awaken much interest. In the Big Basin great preparations were being made for the coming of the Governor and the commission. uildings were erected on the east fork of Waddell Creek, and also tents, the entire outfit being called “the Governor's camp.” This, it is reported, with the other expenses involved in put- ting up tanks to water the road leading into the Big Basin, the clearing up of good trafls from the Sempervirens’ camp to the Governor's camp, etc., have cost H. L. Middleton and the other men asso- clated with him in the Big Basin Lumber Company about $3000. The company could well afford this outlay if the devised plan could be carried through. The names of the incorporators of the Big Basin Lum- ber Company have been already published in connection with the original expose in The Call. The largest individual owner of timber lands in the Big Basin is Tim- othy Hopkins. He is also largely inter- ested in the Big Basin Lumber Company. | @ dettedutoioldoleiofone oot oot b bt @ BOLD CRININAL ROBS COLLECTOR Snatches Bag of Coin in Broad Daylight and Escapes. A poorly dressed young fellow confront- ed Sig Friedlander, a collector for Fried- lander & Son, yesterday afternoon on Ninth street, near Howard, and flashing a razor in his face demanded that he give carrying. As he made the demand he grabbed the bag of coin and the fright- ened collector, who Is only 19 years of age, released his hold. The thief ran down Howard street to Elzhtth and down Eighth to Sunshine court. Young Friedlander notified Officers Mills and Ross, who were stationed at a near- by polling place, and they gave chase, but the robber made good his escape. The officers searched the houses in the neigh- borhood and finally learned that the thief had entered the 'rear street, occupied by Mrs. Hutchins. M Hutchins informed the officers that : young man had dashed through the baci of 1129 Howard door of her home and cried out: “I'm a | scab. A mob is after me. Help me get away or they will kill me."” She allowed him to go through the house and he climbed out a side window and ran down Howard street. When the crime was committed the only person on the street was E. Mojoi of 261 Ninth street, who was some distance away. The young man was also seen by C. A. Hunt of 417 Larkin_street, who passed him as he ran down Ninth street. Accused of Mayhem. Thomas' Corbett, a laborer, was arrested vesterday on a ckarge of mayhem. Cor- bett boarded at the lodging-house of Mrs. Prillipine Aymard, 403 Broadway, and was forced to leave because he could not pay $45 due for board and lodging. He went there yesterday under the influence of liquor, and when Mrs. Aymard told bim to leave it is claimed he grabbed hold of her and bit her on the shoulder and finger.

Two newsboys, neither of whom is more than 16 years of age, attempted a daring robbery last night about 10 o'clock at the corner of Commercial and San- some streets. Only the arrival of two | epecial officers and a policeman saved their victim, William Herbold, a cook on | the transport Meadle, from the loss of his watch and money. The pair of juvanile footpads met Her- bold in a saloon at the corner of East an Mission streets, where he had been im- bibing The boys followed him until he reached a secluded spot at the corner of Commercial and , Sansome streets and there attacked him. Before rifling him of his property they beat Herbold severe- | ly about the head and cut a deep gash | over his right eye. They did not succeed | in rendering him unconscious, and when they attempted to remove his watch and chain he cried out for help. His cries at- tracted the attention of Special Officers Gillen and Whelan and Policeman Du Guire, who immediately ran to his as- sistance. At the approach of the officers the boys left their plunder and started to escape. One of them succeeded, but the othe whose name is John Welch, was ove taken at the corner of Pine and Kearny streets after a spirited chase. The boy who escaped is known to the police and he will undoubtedly be placed under ar- rest to-day. Herbold at the time of the hold-up was on his way home. He lost nothing in the affray, but the boys, in attempting to extract his watch from his pocket, broke the chain. Wanted, 100 additional honorably dis- charged U. S. soldiers.
