Senator Teller in a speech e than two hours and filled with incidents where he alieged the President had encroached on the Senate in regard to the making of| Federal appointments, aroused a number of Republican leaders to the defense of President Roosevelt.

The po- litical phases of the debate were finally eliminated. with the result that several ~administrations were dis- | cussed and brought under the ban of | disapproval. The first was the Cleveland admin- istration, in which it was said that the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act.

Me- Guire’s confession was cleverly brought about by the aid of a trusty in the County Jail, J. W. Riordan, who gained the confidence of the thief, and | was told where the stolen treasure was buried. Wednesday night Riordan went to dig it up and the officers were on | hand. The stolen money consisted of $385 in gold, $332 in currency and $40 68 in silver, a total of $757 68. A 3300 dia- mond was also found. The sack con- taining the anoney was buried in a ravine a mile and a quarter north of town. When Sheriff Ivens confronted McGuire with the facts of the finding of the money the prisoner confessed and expressed a wish to plead guilty and have the matter over. McGuire stated in an interview to- day that he bought a ticket for San Luis Obispo from Santa Barbara and |eame up on the second section |of No. 9 as a passenger. He noticed i\\‘hlle in Santa Barbara that the bar | usually thrown across the front door of the express car as an extra precau- | tion was not” in place and that one ! man had charge of both cars. Upon reaching San Luis Obispo McGuire went to the end of the car next to the engine and climbed into the vestibule from beneath, after pro- viding himself with a jackscrew from | the engine.
