He was taken to the Harbor View polico station and searched. A cueap 38-caliber revolver was found inone of his pockets.

The police beiieve that the list includes the residences the prisoner was planning to rob. He also had a letter addressed to Bither. Newman, Cal., in which a murder was spoken of and which referred to many persons who<e names were mentioned and 1o many others who were spoken of only by numbers. The police beiieve that the numbers refer to counvicts at Folsom prison. The prisoner’s overcoat was covered with pink-colored kalsomine that haa veen brushed off a wall.

Neither of them would say that the prisoner was the man who inflicted | their wounds, but they said that 1n zen- | e prisoner resembled | their assailant. | The prisoner was taken back to the Red- wood City jail late in the afternoon, and on the wav he claimed that he had never been in Baden. Deputy Sheriff Desirello, who is the constable at Baden, is positive, however, that he saw the prisoner with a | companion loating about Baden the even- ing before the attempt was made to rob | the proprietor of the Grand Hotel. Sev- eral of the boarders at the hotel identified | tue man as one of three who entered the ber-room of the hotel during Tuesday evening and called for a drink. The prisoner told Sheriff Mansfield that | be was in New York City up to six months ago, but when confronted with a record of his crime in San Francisco and prooi of his term in Folsom he admitted that he was an ex-convict, having served | a term as Samuel E. Moore. | _ He denied havtng any companions dur- | ing the last four or five days and insisted that he had nothing to do with the Baden | affuir.

Soon after the flight of the murderous robbers a posse was organized by the citi- | zens of Baden and they staried in pursuit | of the fleeing men. Another posse was organizea at Colma and all yesterday about a score of men were scouring the | hills between Baden and San Francisco in search of the villainous pair. It was said at police headquarters last evening by some of the detectives that Moore has been associating tor some time rious desperado and nizhwayman.

Superintendent Webster's Suggestion | to Consolidate Classes Was Not Heeded. It is beginning to be seen that appoint- ments 1n the school department have been numerous aimost as the yellow sands, and the Board of Education is accused of | turning the aepartment into a big politi- cal machine, and the members of that body are charged with the grave offense of stutling the teachers’ roll with the names | of thelr friends, who are drawing salaries for doing absolutely nothing—unless re- porting for duty once a day can be con- sidered in the light of work. No matter what other offenses the mem- bers may be accused of, that of overlook- ing their friends can never be brought against them, for the record shows that since they came into power they have pro- vided positions for 126 friends in the School D:partment. The political latch- string was always hanging on the outside for their friends, and it was pulled pretty often. It is said that positions have been made for friends of the board when there was not the slightest necessity for any teachers. School Superintendent Webster is justly the department and which he is powerless to prevent. { 1ne schools twenty-three were first intro- | | Ib \ i | | 1d,” " Miss \'E |3 O'Brien, Miss L 0’Con- Oisen, Miss J.
