Hellman Jr., Manager of Union Trust Company, Says Officers Are Wrong TO APPEAR IN COURT Capitalist Declares He Did Not Violate the Speed Law of City of Oakland e OAKLAND, Nov. 12.—I W. Hellman Jr., vice president of the Union Trust Company. of San Francisco, of which his father is president, for whose ar- rest a warrant has been secured by the Oakland police on a charge of vio- lation of the automobile speed law, has announced his determination of fight- ing the charge in the Oakland Police Court and to this end has secured the services of Attorney E. Myron Wolfe, the State Insurance Commissioner, who will conduct his defense. Efforts of the Oakland authorities to serve the warrant on Mr. Hellman have so far been unsuccesstul, but Attorney Wolfe has informed the police that his client will appear for trial either to-morrow or Tuesday, prepared to fight the case to the bitter end. Mr. Hellman's reason for fighting the charge of speeding his automobile within the limits of Oakland, according to the statement of his attorney, is not that he objects to paying the nominal fine for the offense, but that he ques- tions the truth of the charge that he violated the law. Attorney Wolfe says that Hellman is certain that at the time the officers declare that he was speeding his machine on Twelfth street he was traveling well within the speed limit allowed by law. The warrant for Hellman's arrest was issued with a number of others for the arrest of prominent residents of various cities about the bay, the com- plaints being sworn to by Police Of- ficers McCready and Murray, who last Sunday stationed themselves on East Twelfth street and timed all the auto- mobiles passing them in either direc- tion. The officers took the numbers of those machines which they found to be exceedingly the speed allowed by law and among them was that of the ma- chine owned by Mr. Hellman. Several of the autoists gave them- selves up as soon as they heard that warrants had been issued for their ar- rest and others were arrested in San Francisco by an officer from this city. In each case so far heard in the Po- lice Court a plea of guilty has been entered and the fine paid. Mr. Hellman {s the first to announce that he will fight the charge and the result of the trial is awaited with some interest, both by members of the Oakland Police Department and by automobilsts, as this is the first time the experiment of timing the machines” &4 *héen made the basis of prosecution for violation of the speed law. J. A. Chase, another of the automo- bilists, for whose arrest a avarrant was jssued at the-same time as was that for the arrest of Hellman, was ar- rested in San Jose this morning and his case, together with those of Samuél C. Hammond an) Marshall C. Harris, who were arrested in San Francisco yes- terday, will be heard In the Police Court to-morrow morning. Mr. Hellman is the son of I W. Hell- man, president of the Nevada-Wells- Fargo National Bank of San Fran- cisco. and a member of the Board of Regents of the University of Califor- nia.

Somewhere in the rugged bluffs of the Mississippi River, near -the lttle town of Waukon, Iowa, eighty miles north of Dubugue, Hes a buried treas- ure, consisting of $80,000 in gold. It was consigned to the - paymaster of Prairie du Chien in 1830 for the purpose of paying the soldiers who were fight- ing Black Hawk and his warriors. The legend dates back to a very early period in the history of the country and is full of romances and incidents of the days of the forefathers. At the time the treasury was hidden Colonel Zachary Taylor was in com- mand of Fort McKay, then one of the most important government outposts in this scction of the country. It was on the extreme “buffer” region, be- tween the Indians and the whites, in constant danger of attack by Blaek Hawk and his fierce warriors. < To this outpost one day in 1830 came four bags of gold, each weighing about eighty pounds, the agxregate value of which was about $80,000, They were consigned to the post paymaster to pay off the soldiers. It was the largest amount that had ever been sent to a post so far out on the frontier in a time of practical hostility, and Colonel Taylor was instructed most minutely as to the care and guarding of the treasure. Just at that time the Black Hawk war was in progress, and very aggres- sive were the movements of the red- skins. There was serious possibility that the little garrison might be forced to evacuate the fort and fall back. Ac- cordingly, Colonel Taylor decided that the money should be hidden outside the stockade. He called for volunteers for special service and selected four men, headed by a surgeon named Merelerie. He gave them each a sack of gold and sent them at night to Bury it, and bring back a careful report, that oth- ers might be ahle to find it. The same night there was. a deter- mined attack by Indians on the little outpost. The sentries were driven in and some of them killed. For days the fighting kept up. Meanwhile nothing had been heard of the soldiers who had been sent to hide the gold. As soon as the Indidns had been dis- persed and it was safe to reconneiter the bodies of the four dead soldiers who had been sent to hide the gold were found at a considerable distance from the fort. There was no trace of the gold. and none was éver found. Two days later a soldier found a bit of paper near where one of the bodies had been, giving a hastily seribbled ex- planation that the geold had been buried in a certain bluff, but the de- seription was incomplete, and a care- ful search failed to locate the treas. ure. No cvidence was ever found that the coin fell into the hands of the In- dians, and it is believed that it is rest- ing yet in the original hiding place. Search i§ carried on in a desultory way every season, and thke gold will prob- ably some day be found. Thousands of dollars havé heen spent in the search by people living in the vieinity and by fortune humters.—Chicago Chronicle. ——————— How to Stop the Leak. #There is a good deal of talk at Wash- ington about the powerlessness of the Government to punish the men who stole and sold in advance of publica- tlon the cotton crop reports of the De- partment of Agriculture.
