The whole trouble has been caused by the prisoners. Several of the men confined on the island were volunteers and they consider themselves as being harshly dealt with because they have been sentenced to serve three years for desertion during the time of war. All of them have relatives able and willing to help them and the attempts at es- cape have been numerous. The plots were discovered, however, before they were ready to be syrung and the result was a number of prisoners on bread and water and a more rigorous watch. All the attempts at escape were not fruitless, however. One of them suc- ceeded last Tuesday night and the au- thorities on the island are now search- ing high and low for H. R. Beale, John Meredith and Edgar M. Sweeney. They got away in a small rowboat owned by the son of Major Kinzie and reached the mainland, but not before one of the | escapes had been wounded by the sol- Sweeney is the ringleader of the| gang.

This time the | guard opened fire on her and the man who was running her quickly took the Meteor out of range. ext even- ing she was back again and this time the soldiers put a couple of shots into the hull disabling the machinery. The man in charge dropped into the bot- tom of the boat and remained there until the Meteor had drifted out of range once more. | That means of escape was thus cut off and to understand how the prisoners finally succeeded, it is necessary to go a little into the daily routine of the island. Once a month, with the con- sent of the commandant, the prisoners are allowed to give an entertalnment. The soldiers on the island are charg- ed 10 cents admission and visitors from the city are charged 25 cents. The pro- ceeds go toward buying odds and ends | for the prisoners not in the prison fare. The prisoners are locked up every night at 5 o'clock, but when an entei tainment s about to come off the per- formers are allowed to practice in the library untill § p. m. Next Tuesday night there is to be an en[erlulnmi‘nl‘ and as Sweeney and his companion: were to be among the performers they were allowed to go to the library. The prison, as.every passenger to Sausalito and Tiburon knows, is on the eastern end of the island and the wall runs clear down to the water. On the wharf below a sentry patrols day and | night, while at the bend of the road and on the hill leading to the prison two other guards are stationed. Under the wharf on which was the sentry lay Mr. Kinzie’'s boat. When the soldiers made their escape from the library and reached the beach, if they had made for | the wharf direct they would have un doubtedly been discovered. Instead o that they made a complete circuit of the island and coming up behind the sentry succeeded In getting into the | boat and launching it. They had got a considerable distance from the wharf when one of them caught a crab and the splash attracted the sentry’s attention. He at once opened upon them and at the fifth shot one of the men dropped into the bottom of the boat and began groaning hor- ribly. Sweeney got up in the boat and shout- ed, “Don’t shoot any more. Don’t you see we've got no oars? We surrender.” The sentry stopped firing and while he was explaining matters to his superior officer, the prisoners got out their oars again and were off like a flash. A prison-break alarm was turned in and the flve-oared boat belonging to the Island manned. It gave chase, but in spite of the best efforts of its crew the prisoners got away. scription of the prisoners is as H. R. Beale, age 21 years, Height © feet 10 inches, hair dark brown, eyes brown. He was serving an eighteen months’ sentence for in- subordination. John Meredith, age 22 years, height § feet 8 inches, hair dark brown, blue eyes. Eighteen months for desertion. Bdgar M. Sweeney, age 24 years, dark brown hair and brown eyes. height § feet 9% inches. Three years for deser- tion but the sentence was reduced to two years by the adjutant general. ® When he was taken to the island he was heard to remark that he wouldn't be a prisoner for much over a month. He has kept his word as he had not on been quite six weeks the island when he escaped. WAR TAX ON LABELS. Promissory Notes for One Cent Must Bear a Two-Cent Stamp. Commissioner Scott, of the Internal Revenue Department, has notified Collec- tor Lynch that his decision has been sus- tained in the matter of the appeal of N. Van Bergen & Co. of this city. Mr. Lynch had ruled that a certain bitters sold by Van uergen & Co. was liable (in_addition to the 1% cents tax required under schedule B! to the further tax of a 2-cent stamp for that portion of the label which appears to be a promissory note for 1 cent. The Commissioner holds that “the promissory note for 1 cent is bona fide, and made in good faith; that it will be pald upon presentation at the of- fice of the company, and hence is tax- | certained. county of San Francisco. He has lald a trap for would-be illegal voters to the | number df a possible thousand or more, which will be sprung to-day. The Regls- trar did not inform the commissioners as to what he was doing, because friction developed between him and the board three weeks ago, which has rapidly ap- proached an acute stage. Mr. Biggy has nearly completed a list of all of the houses in San Francisco, | with the registered number of voters in | each He finds that in certain sec- tions of the city, noteworthy for election | frauds in the past years, there are from | even to forty voters residing in some o(l the houses, according to the registration. He has classified all houses by precincts blocking them into squares and by to- night will be able to inform Interested citizens as to whether one or forty gen- tlemen claiming the elective franchise side in any given house in the city. You would be astounded to know how voters are crowded into some| ’* remarked Mr. Biggy. ‘‘This, too, | n the face of the fact that the registra- ion is lighter than before. We only have | names this year, as against 73,000 t the previous reglstration. ‘‘When the registration was in progress I asked each voter to fill out a little slip of paper on which was printed a number which corre- sponded with a number on his registra- l?un affidavit. The registration blanks and the little slips ran together in regu- lar serial numbers. In filling out the slips | the voter gave his precinct, district, name, address and description. By seg- regating these slips scores of houses are many hous | revealed where an extraordinary number of voters reside. For example, there are | forty-one voters who give thelr residence as the Palace Hotel. There are exactly the same number who claim to reside at | 715 Howard street. A small house, 614 Howard, where I myself resided some | ears ago, turns in the modest number of | thirty-four voters. | “I propose to send my men out to each | precinct with these slips and let them | find all of the men who gave their ad- dre These slips run in regular or- der, from one house to the next, so it will be quick work, just passing from door to door. Where houses are found that do not produce the exact number of register- ed voters called for by the slips, then I will send citations_ for the missing per- sons to appear and explain. 1f they do not come the register will simply be purged. “And what is more,” continued Mr. Big- “‘men whom I have appointed myself shall do this work. The commissioners have been trying to make me agree to turn over to them the selection of the subordinates who are to do any Investl- gating.” CHINESE CUNNING. Exposure of a Conspiracy to Land a Woman Illegally. Dr. Gardiner and Inspector Frank Flesh yesterday unearthed a clever conspiracy to land a Chinese woman named Wong Sing Yow. She arrived on the Gaelic and represented that she was born at 1107 | Dupont street in this city, Wong Fook Shing alleged that he was her father and that her statement was true. Chan Chung corroborated the evidence, and the way seemed clear for the landing of the maid- en. But Collector Jackson had doubts, and referred the case to Chief Meredith of the Chinese Bureau, who detailéd Gar- diner and Flesh to investigate. They visited the Dupont-street house yesterday and spoke only in English, thus throwing the Chinese off their guard. In the course of conversation the putative father took out of a drawer some Chinese manuscript_with which to refresh his memory. Flesh and Gardiner seized the paper, and found that it contained ques- tions and answers for Shing’s use before the bureau, describing Shing's trip from China by way of Portland, Ore. The woman was refused a landing. —_—————————— A Supposed Suicide. Police Officer Anderson of the Seven- teenth-street Station found a man lying in a garden in front of a residence at 2316 Folsom street at an early hour yes- terday morning. When found he was in an unconscious condition with a small vial which had contalned morphin8 Iy- Ing alongside of him. The man was re- moved to the City and County Hospital, where he recovered sufficiently to tell the attending physician that his name was Sargert Mahony and that he was born in 1653, After this he sank into unconscious- ness ana expired. The body was removed to the Morg\‘x. There was nothing found by which identification could be as- NEW YORKERS | the steamer Alliance.
