Feb. 10. Three days of Investigation Into the record of a prisoner low lodged In the city Jail, who was arrested here on Mon day last, with his wife, have sufficed to convince the Secret Service agents of the Government that the man Is not Charles McCahe, the name he gave to the police, but Is in reality C. A. Bar rett, who has been sought for months by the Federal authorities as the plun- oerer or the packet or registered mall and gold bullion which was shipped from Fairbanks. Alaska, to Seattle. Wash., last August. The treasure Stolen In transit amounted to $68. 000. The prisoner's wife, who was taken Into custody at the saiuj time aa her husband, was released yesterday by the police, an examination by the Secret Service agents failing; to show that she had any knowledge of McCabe's alleged connection with the robbery. Extradition Is Sought. It was said by the Federal agents today that inasmuch aa a part of the stolen bullion had been disposed of In California, they would arrange to have McCahe extradited to San Francisco at once. Whether any of the bullion has been received in this city the detec tives refused to say. The Government detectives say they have trailed Barrett through a dozen cities since last August. On tebruary 1 they learned of the arrival of -McCahe and his wife In Ogden. The pair was loiioyed to Salt Lake City by a Secret Service agent and a member of tli local detective force. , SIX-DAY RUNNERS JOG SPRINT BY TAKEN FROM RACERS GR CELLING TEST.

Nursing their sore feet for the final dash tonight, the runners in the Young Men'e Christian Association six-day Marathon race finished the fifth night of running last night without the usual sprint. Another flow pace was set, the distance covered by the three leaders being the same aa the previous night 120 laps. Although the race lacker the final spurt It was nevertheless aa Interesting to watch as any of the former nights' running. Once or twice during the heat of the half-hour race the men sprinted and pase-ed each other, but their work was not spirited, it was plainly seen that all three of the leaders were reserv ing every atom of energy for the crisis tonight. Limping was probably more pronounced last night that at any previous run of the five nights of running.

No such luck was his, however, the other two catching hits pace, staying with him and Anally passing him. When all the sprint had been taken out of Vanderllp by the persistency with which Booth and Barndollar dogged his heels the men settled down to a Jog trot and but few times raised their pace to anything faster than a slow trot.
