United States Secret Service Agent John Cronin and Detective Boyd of'the Los Angeles Police Department . ar- rived to-day after a fruitless gquest for the $15,000 stolen from Secretary Glison of the Judson Iron Works twelve years ago, and supposed to have been buried. George Rae, who led the Southern California officers to a se- questered spot in the Santa Cruz Moun- tains near Laurel failed utterly as a | guide to the hidden treasure. At the place where Rae claimed the stolen goldhad been buried, not a trace | of it was uncovered. The expectant trio were as doomed to disappointment as were the men of the olden time who are said to have searched for pots of | gold at the foot of the rainbow. Cronin end Boyd held a long inter- view with Chief of Police Hodgkins this morning. They were reluctant to say what had become of Rae. But they told Hodgkins that their search had utterly fafled. Rae, apparently confi- dent, had guided the officers to the hillside hiding place. He had told them that twelve years age when the plun- der hidden, a broken-handied shovel i been used to dig the hole in the ground. Sure enough the shovel, rusted and weather-beaten, was found, also several pieces of rusted sheet iron, which, it was sald, had been used by the Judson robbers as body shields against bullets. These iron sheets were similar to one that was found in the buggy which the robbers abandoned after a long drive through Oakland after the theft was accomplished. The three men dug around the spot that Rae had pointed out. But all of the digging was in vain. Rae could of- fer no explanation about the failure. He could only say that some one had found the gold before the searching party arrived. Cronin and Boyd were very guarded in their statements. The failure had left them in an uncom- municative frame of mind. In fact Cronin w ready to make flat-denial to the public that his misgion to the north hed snything to do with gold seeking. To the police the wvisitors’ were not quite so guarded, and to Hodgkins was wa confided the tale of treasure trove that | was not realized. —————— OONGREGATIONS DECIDE TO BUILD NEW CHURCH | Name of Former Pastor Is Stricken From the Membership Roll by Members, WAKLAND, Sept. 8.—Final act{on was taken last night by the congre- gations of the Plymouth-avenue and the Oak Chapel Congregational churches regarding the consolidation of the two churches.

The bush fire which broke out yes- | terday morning on the Magee ranch, | in Redwood Canyon, “is still beyond control and despite the efforts of near- ly one hundred volunteer fire fighters | continues to spread. Just after the fire started it destroyed a large barn on the Magee ranch. The wind is now driving the flames toward Leona Heights and there is danger that the wood around Mills Col- lege may take fire. If this happens the buildings of the college will be ex- posed to great danger. The extreme | heat of the last two days has rendered grass and underbrush in the path of the fire as dry as tinder and this, aided by the wind, makes the task of sub- | duing the flames difficult. | & e NEARS As the air became cooler after the sun had gone down, a breeze sprang up which fanned the flames, which, in spite of the efforts of the fire fighters, swept on toward Leona Heights. In its course the fire passed within | 16500 feet of the buildings of Mills College, and somé& of the timber around the grounds caught fire, but by [the hardest kind of work the college was saved. Sweeping.up the hill the flames reached the old Stockton Hotel, which with its outbuildings was to- | tally destroyed. ‘ All possible methods were used to | check the flames but without success. The fire reached the home of Mrs. Ryer on upper Cemetery avenye, and |in a few moments the house and barn | were burned to the ground. | At midnight the fire had reached the upper portion of Sausal Creek, .and here the volunteer fire brigade is using ever{ endeavor, to check the flames. Just across the creek, directly in the path of the flames, are cottages occu- | pied by the families of Messrs. Hunt, | Gray and Wagoner, and unless the fire | is extinguished these are doomed. | Two hundred men from all parts of the surrounding country are out fight- | |ing the flames, but so far they have | been unsuccessful in' making any im- pression on the fierce conflagration. | UNIVERSITY EVENTS BERKELEY, Sept. 8.—Jnterest in the pro- posed monument to the memory of John | Mitchell, the late armorer and Indian fighter, has been revived by a letter from Colonel George W. Bauer to the executive commit- tee of the Associated Students suggesting that the memorial ‘take the form of a drink- ing fountain, erected on some chosen spot on the campus. A fund for this purpose was | established arttef Armorer Mitchell's death last May, 2nd, with & few more subscriptions, | enough money will be on hand to build a | handsome fountain. The executive committee | has turned Colonel Bauer's suggestion over to | Harry Dehm, president of the Associated Stu- | dents, “for an investigation and report. | In the death of William M.

SATS CITIZENS= SHOULD VOTE Governor Pardee Declares That Stability of Govern- ment Depends on This A DUTY Inconvenience of Regjstra- tion Should Not Keep Electors From the Polls PSR Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1018 Broadway, Sept. 8. The duty of citizens to register and express their best judgment at the polls is the subject of a letter written by Governor George C. Pardee to Deputy County Clerk S. N. Wyckoff, who has charge of the registrations of voters, in answer to a report sent him on the seeming apathy of the people of Ala- meda County to register. The Gov- ernor admits that it may be an incon- venience to register and go to the polls to vote, but he says upon the sense of duty which impels citizens to do this the stability of Government depends. While the estimated number of voters in the county is 35,000, only 23,000 have registered so far and but twenty days more are left. Upon this subject Governor Pardee expresses himself as follows: SACRAMENTO, September 5, 1904. Hon. 8. N. Wyckoff, County Clerk's office, Oakland, Cal.—My Dear Sir: Answering yours of September 3, I am a little bit disposed to be ashamed of the good people of Alameda County on your showing- of their neglect to register in order that they may vote ai the coming election. It is, of course, the duty of every American citizen to exXercise his rigat of franchise .in every election. If he neglects to do that he Is not a first-class citizen and is neglecting his duty to his country. In time of war everybody is eager to defend the na- tional honor and uphold the flag. ln time of peace there is equal necessity for every ociti- zen to do his part toward the election of proper men to office. In time of war neglact of duty is treason; in time of peace meglect of civie duty is equally treason. The people of Alameda County are as patri- otic as those of any community in the world. They are intelligent, and, in every way, worthy of being called ‘“‘good American citizens.” But if they neglect to register they will be justly accused of not being as good American citizens as they should be. Of course it is Somewhat of an inconvenience to register and vote. But no man should hesi- tate to inconvenience himself to do that which is his duty and upon which depends the abso- lufe stability and perpetuity of the American nation. And I feel sure that Alameds County will not permit it to be sald of her that her people are mot good citizens. They always have done thelr duty, and I am sure they aiways will. Very traly yours, GEORGE C. PARDEB.

Todd and His Bride Will ' See World. o BERKELEY, Sept. 8.—Through Europe afoot on a tour that will bring them into touch with every condition of life that exists among the peasantry of half a dozen empires is the inter- esting itinerary that two young grad- uates of the University of Callfornia have mapped out for themselves when they start on their wedding trip next week. Arthur J. Todd of the class of '04 1s the originator of this sort of honeymooning, and the young woman who will share this harardous under- taking is Miss Martha H. Gaddis of the class of '03. These young people found their in- spiration for the journey in social set- tlement work. It was the soclal set- tlement that brought them together; it is-the social settlement that will keep them together for the rest of their days perhaps, for they long ago made up their minds that it would ne their life work, It is their desire to know exactly how the other half lives in_another world. The ways of the lowly, how they live, what their environment means, what the more fortunate do for them—all these things do the bride and groom expect to learn. All they do learn they ex- pect to turn to practical use in behalf of mankind. The wedding of Mr. Todd and Miss Gaddis will be celebrated at the South Park Soclal Settlement in San Fran- cisco on Wednesday next. The place that has been the scene of much of their work will be the scene of the most interesting event in their lives. They will hold a reception for their friends during the day and immediate- ly afterward leave for the BEast and Europe. “Florence, Italy, will be our first point of attack,” said Mr. Todd at the settlement to-day. “From that point we will start on our tour of “the va- rious countries. The * itinerary in- cludes Italy, Austria, Spain, France, Germany and finally England. Of course, we won't walk all the way, be- cause there will be places where we'll have to ride, but ourgintention is to foot it as much as we can. We ex- pect to be occupied until next June on the trip. A large part of that time will be devoted to study of the peasan- try and thir habits and habitations.” —_——— INTENSE HEAT HASTENS DEATH OF CARPENTER Frank H.
