4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, TINY SAWS FOUND N WORDEN'S CELL Attempted Jail Break Prevented by Folsom Officials. Steel Tools Hidden Beneath a Plaster on the Condemned Man’s Back. Conspiracy Discovered After His Accomplices Had Cut Through iron Bars. BACRAME tempt at jail delivery has been discovered at the branch prison at Folsom. Salter D. Worden, the convicted train-wrecker, and several other priconers are impli- cated. Worden had concealed upon his person six fine steel saws, fabricated from watchsprings, which were to be used in sawing the locks from the cells and the doors from the building in order that the wards of the State mightagsin breatbe the air of liberty. The saws were found this morning beneath a courtplaster on Wor- den’s back. Preparations for the escape have been in progress since May 20, when two of the most desperate prisoners were committed to the dungeons for some infraction of the prison rules. Following their incar- ceration a number of their close comrades committed various misdemeanorsin order to be confined in the dungeons, and the suspicions of Warden Aull and the prison officials became arousea at this evidently preconcerted desire to incar such punish- ment and they determined to await de- velopments. It is clsimed that on the evening of June 16 Chief of the Night Watch Seawell, hearing suspicious sounds from the cell of Morton, one of the occupants of the dun- geons, made a search and found that the prisoner had been cutting through the cement floor of his dungeon with drills stolen from the power-house. He found several letters which detailed fully the plot to escape, in which all those who had purposely got themselves committed to the dungeons were to engage. They could carry out this plot without much risk of detection, since the dungeons are kept locked day and night. These letters dis- closed the fact thaton the grounds out side the prison arms had been planted by a confederate on the outside. Certain prisoners were 1o ‘‘sneak” these arms from their biding-place and secrete them in a refuse barrel near the dungeon cor- | ridor. The plan was that Morton should cut his way out, liberate the other dun- geon prisoners and with them overpower the night watch, with the aid of the pis- 10ls, and escape. After tnis discovery it was decided to remove some of the men to the con- demned ward, and they were placed in cells directly under those occupied by Warden, Berg and Barthieman, who are all under rentence of desth. Last nightsuspicious sounds were heard in these new quarters, and this morning 4 search brought to licht the fact thata convict named Wilson had made consid- erable progress in the work of sawinga square aperture in his door, which would be large enough to permit him to pass througn. No tools of any description could be found in Wilson’s ceil, and how perform this jok without their mystitied the officers. They searched the adjoining celis, but could find nothing. As a last_resort the Warden this morning had all.the men in the condemned corri- dor brought out and stripped. ‘There was a porous plaster on Worden’s back, which was removed, revealing b. tween the plaster and the flesk six fine steel saws, made with the aid of a fite out of a watch spring, and each about s inches long. Iu the sole of Worden slippers were found two pieces of iron, fixed together, used asa handle for the saws, and a file. Aliof the prisoners’ shoes were cat u In the shoesof Wiison were found hiding- places for the tools, by which means he bad brought them to the new quarters. Wilson, it was found, worked at nizht on the door of his cell, while Worden se- creted the tools on his person during the day, hoisting them by means of a string dropped down to his wicket each night by Wilson. n of the prisoners wes to let scape by means of the aperture in the door, go to the cell of Worden and cut the hasp of his door padlock, thus freeing him. The pistols in the barrel would be at hand, and with their aid it was proposed to overpower the one or two guards on duty there, liberate tne other prisoners and all escape by means of the skylights on the roof, to which they would be able to gain access. All of the articles in Worden’s room have been replaced by others, and all the nsual privileges denied him. SIR KNIGHTS VISIT SCOTIA. G.ant Redwocd Felled in the Presence of Humbolst Coun'y's V.sitors, EUREKA, Cir, June 25.—The visiting Knights Templar picnicked at Scotia to- dav. Besides the Sir Knights and ladies from Eureka a number of excursionists were picked up at siations along the way. By the time Scotia, the seat of the Pacifi ¢ Lumber Company’s plant, was reached, the train was uncomfortably crowded. Here the party was met by Sir Knights Sinclair and Thompson and conducted through the Scotia mil!, one of the largest lumber plants on the coast. They were loud jn their praise of the splendid eater- tainment provided for them by the man- agers of the company. After an excelient luncheon the party was taken into the virgin forest, where a novel entertainment had been arranged. A giant redwood, on which the sawyers bad been working for two days, was fellea in their presence. It measured fifteen feet in diameter by 368 feet in height. On the massive stump of this fallen monarch Dr. Smith delivered a solemn and impres- sive adcres: An_accident, which occur: to i MacDonald, daughter of Dr. MacDona!d, on the way to the forest, marred the Flonnus of the excursion. The young ady slippea and dislocated her kneecap. A stretcher was made and she was carried by the Sir Knights of Eureka Command- ery back to Scotia. The Sir Knights returned to Eureka at 6 P. M. and made ready {o attend the clam- bake, which was given at Samoa Beach. S A J4PANESE CO.PANY ROBBED, Capital Stock of a Million ¥en Ras 4ll Disappeared. VICTORIA, B. C., June 25.—The North- ern Pacific steamer Victoria, arriving to- day from the Orient, brings news of the sensational loss of 1,000,000 yen from the funds of the Osaka Alkali Manufacturing Company. The Yokohama Advertiser says the company become insolvent dur- ing last year's financial crisis in Japan, Recent disclosures show that its capital stock of 1,000,000 yen was spirited away years ago. Just how the company treasury was looted does not yet appear, but up to last year its business was run upon credit obtained at banks. For years bogas balance sheets have been presented and though the stockholders received 10 per cent dividends for many years they will now be compelled to pay a heavy as- sessments to wipe out its debts. WANTS NEW HEADQUARTERS. | Demand of the Fire-aA n Telegraph in the Coming Year. Superintendent Hewitt of the Fire Alarm and Police Telegraph has asked the Supervisors 1o consider tbe demands of his department for the coming year ana provide funds for s station in the City Hall tower that wili cover the eatire City and provide better protection against fire than is afforded by the present system. He wishes to put in machinery and other paraphernalia at an expense of $35,000, exclusive of salaries,whicn wiliamount to $16,000 per year. Accompanying bis esti- mate was the following communication Gentlemen: Inclosed please flud an estin of the nmounts necessary for the maintensnco and exiension of the fire alarm and pol telegraph for the ensuing fiscal year. I beg to state that the amounts stated are absolutely required for the proper maintenance and ex- tension of the deparimen’ The rapid growth of this City is most foreibly demonstrated by the constant demand for fire protection, and especially is this so in the de- mand for fire boxes. There are at present on file in this office over a dozen demands from your board for the erection of fire boxes when the funds of the department will permit. Aside from boxes, we have to provide for an ever-increasing number of engine-house equip- ments in the form of wiring for electric lights, underground cabling and modern instrument boards, all of which mesns large drafis upon the limited appropriation neretofore allotted this department. The police telegraph is greatly in need of Teconstruction, and it is my intension, if the funds permit, 1o equip this service with me- uxildi‘ returns, an improvement very much de- sired. The need of & new fire-alarm office has been apparent for a long time to those acquainted with the necessities of protection from fire in this City. The present quarters are eatirely 100 small for the rapidly increasing business of theoffice, and again, the location is oo far removed from the geographical center of the City. A modern fire-alarm office would be in 1iné with the volicy of progress as insugurated by your honorable body.

Sets Aside Arbitrary Assess- ment Levied Upon the Institution. Declares the Officlal Has No Right to Constitute Himself a Judge. SACRAMENTO, CaAL, June 25,—In the case of the State of California vs. the Na- tional Bankof D. 0. Mills & Co., which was tried before Superior Judge Hughes, judgment was rendered to-day in favor of the defendant. The action was brought to compel the bank to pay $13.940 alleged to be due for Btate and county taxes for the year 1895, The facts asagreed upon were that tbe Assessor of Sacramento County demanded and received from the bank a statement purporting to detail the amount and value of the real property owned by the bank. The statement, which was sworn to, also declared that the bank owned no personal property. The Assessor was dissatisfied with this statement and he levied an arbi- trary assessment in which he set the per- sonal property owned by the bank at the value of $805,000. The bank refusea to pay the taxes upon such arbitrary assess- ment and the suit was brought to compel pavment. The opinton of Judge Hughes is quite lengthy and covers all the poirts in the case. lnsumming up the Judge says that the Assessor has power to make an arbi- trary assessment only under certain con- ditions, one of which is that no sworn statement has been returned. In the case at bar the bank did return a sworn staie- ment. The Assessor did not subpena the de- fendant to appear for examination, and consequently he had no power to make an arbitrary assessment for failure to comply with a subpena of citation. Had the As- sessor b lieved that perjury was com- mitted, he could have informed against the defendant and prosecuted for that crime, but he had no right to constitute himse!f a judge of the case. LOS ANGELES INNGVATION. Police Adopt the Bertillon System for the Identificat.on of Crimi- nrais. LO8 ANGELES, Can, June 25.—The Police Department of this city will soon adopt the Bertillon system of identifying criminals, and it is expected to result in adding to the efficiency of the crook- catchers. Chief of Police Glass said to- day that his detectives were already amiliarizing themseives with the system, by which a criminal once markea and measured could never conceal his iden- uty. The Chief is an applicant for member- ship in the National Association, which it was decided to establish, with head- quarters at Washington, at’the Ailania convention of Chiels of Police last yesr. At tuat time a board of governors was appointed to take charge of the matier, to employ a clerk and to establisn a depart ment. The question raised at that e was, What yro rata should each city pay of the expense of such a bureau? It was at last decided to classify cities in three grades. Tke first class pays $100 per an- num, the second $75 and the third $30. The object of this bureau is to pather information concerning ail everywnere in the United States and Canada according to the Bertillon system, photograobs and all date, and to hold the | informution ready to be sent out 10 all metnbers of the bureau who may desire the same. Each member is required to | send all information concerniug each criminal to the bureau and at all times to be ready to furnish any information asked for by any membe e muggler Myight Indicted. LOS ANGELES, CaL, June 25.—The United States authorities in Southern Caiifornia are going to do all they can to discourage the smuggling of Chineseinto criminals | this country and the chances are that an example is (0 be made of Captain E. Wright, a sailor of San Diego wha tbought that he could make some money oy bringing a half dozen Chinese from Ensenads, in Mexico, to this State. He loaded them into his schooner, Nereid, and put them ashore at San Juan Capis- trano, where Deputy Marshal Forster ar- rested them and later the Nereid was seized at San D.ego. This morning the Federa! Grand Jury returned an indict- | ment against the enterprising mariner on six counts on th: charge of landing | Chinese who were not entilled to entry to the United States. UNREALTHY WHITITIER. State Board of Health Condemns the School's Sawitary Conditions. LOS ANGELES, CaL., June 2.—Just before the members of the State Board of Health had departed for the north, to- | day, it w learned that they had not found conditions as they should be at the Whittier State School, which was in- spected yesterday. At an early stage of the insrection the board saw enoush to condemn the sntire system of the school. 1t was found that the connections in the main and the girls’ buiidings were very bad. The plumbingin cottage B, whare | the small boys are located, was in a shock- ing condition. In the bedding the mat- tresses and bed clothing were decidedly dirty. The bosrd recommended white spreads 10 be used on the beds instead of the colored stripes now used, and that @ gymnasium be built. One member of tho board in speaking of the visit said : *‘We aroc aware of the fact that the gen- tlemen in charze of this school are new and a great deal of allowance must be made for them. But it seems very strange when all the insane asyiums we have visited were. clean and neat, that the boys’ school should be so uncomparable @s far as neatness goes. Whittier in every department was dirty.” T00R OF INSPECTION Official Visit to Homes for Dis- abled Volunteer Sol- diers, Arrival of General W. B. Franklin, President of the Board of Managers.

The Attoruey-General hela that the university had a right to have incidental printing done otherwise than at the State office, provided it was paid | for out of its endowment fund. Only such printing as must be paid for out of the generai fund of the State, it was held, must be done by the Siate Printer. The Governor expressed the opinion that this decision would apoly to work vald out for the tuition fund of tue normal school, which for the purpose of Attorney-General’s opinion corresponded to tbe endowment fund. The matter was left to State Superintendent Biack 1o see 1f_the work could be done :n the State office and paid for as they would pay a private printing concern, as the office is especially cqui&ped for such wor! Professor A. H. Randall nominated the following teachers, with salaries named, to serve for one year, and they were eiect- ed; R.S. Helw $: 5 L. B. Wilson, $2000; Helen S. Wright, $1600; Lucy M.

Protesror Bolton resigned, as he has accepted another position. C. H. Ashworth, janitor, and Engineer Gore were re-elected. The care of the grounds was left to the executive com- mittee. Miss Sarah E. Miller was elected preceptress. 3 Appropriate resolutions were drafted concerning the death of ‘the late membar of the board, i rd ility of electing a principal for the San Diego Normal School. This institution at pres- ent consists of only a board of trusiees and a site, for which reason Trustee Guy and Buperintendent Black urged the use- lessness of a principal at thistime. Guy oved that the nomination be postponed for one y: d Toland offered as a sub- stitute that they proceed at once to baliot for a principal. Wilson of Los Angeles expressed the opinion that as the princi- pal was by statute made an element of the bosrd the refu-al of the board. toelect a principal would leave that body incom- plete and its acts would be illegal. The Governor shared this view, and it was finally decided to leave the matter to be decided at some future meeting to be called by the president. The San D.ego board then held a brief meeting_for the purpose of organizing. Trustee Shaun of San Diego was elected president, and Guy, Toland and Shaun were made the executive committee. The election of a secretary was left to the next board at Ban Diego. —_— POLITICS IN THE SCHOOLS. Mhy Professor Pennell Was Not & Can- didate for Re-election. To the well informed it is known that Professor Penmell was not _signature of 4 the sfternoon | with a view of securing u larger atiend- | | Information was asked concerning the | Governor Budd submitted an | | candidate for tne office of principal of the State Normal School at Chico, which was hela for four years with credit to himsel! and advantage to the scheo!, because he knew that the board had been readjustea for the purpose of “turning him down,” What was called an indignation meet- ing was held at Chico on Thursday even- ing, and was largely attended by the best ciuz:us of thet piace, 1o protest against the action which they knew was going to be taken upcn the {oliowing day at San Jose. The Board of Trustees of the State Nor- mal School which had been appointed by Governor Budd was known to be opposed to Protes.or Pennell. It is well under-| stood that this board was named in the interest if not upon the suggestion of his competitor, Cariton Ritter. Governor Budd long ago declared that Professor Pennell should not hold the office another year. This was repeated so often that it cawe to be common knowledze among the people interested. Governor Budd's ob- jection to Professor Pennell—the only objection that he is known to have uttered as that he was a member of the Union L-ague Club. Under the law the trustees of the four different schools recently appointed met in joint session at San Jose. By courtesy | the recommendations of the trustees of gncxh school are respected by the general ady. The board that appointed Professor Pennell four years ago and which had four times re-elected him was composed of General Chipman, General Bidwell, Hon. Fred H. Greeiy of Marysville and F. C. Luosk. Mr. Lusk has been a member of the board since the school was established there and was one of those who were ac- tive in securing it for Chico. He is one of the leading citizens of that place and a strong friend of Professor Pennell. For this latter reason he has long been scheduled for retirement. These tour men, higily reputed through- out the entire State, were recently dis- placed by Governor Budd and four citi- zens of Chico named to serve in their stead. Colonel Henshaw, a prominent Demo- crat, originally named as one of them, refu-ed 10 serve for the reason, as he gives if, that it was 100_clearly a job put up for the ousting of Pennell. It is with this | knowleage of the situation that Profes- sor Fennell refused to become a candidate before yesierday’s meeting of the board. “This is simply another insiance of the small politics that the Governor of the State has been ‘doing’ all over the State, reaching, as in this case, even to the edu- cational institutions,’” said Professor Pen- nell last evening.
