The guards at every possible point OF
escape have been strengthened. Ii the
murderer gets away he will have to elude
100 vigiiant officers and undergo great
hardships. The officers believe he is
secreted in some Ca bin not far from Will

1t is believed the criminal jumped from

ley at l A. NJ. to-day, when officers in

toward Wilkeson. John Condor and
others saw a strange-acting man near
Wilkeson this morning. Several guards

to halt him, OF. more likely, were afraid 10
intercept him because of his shooting pre-

GUILTY OF MANY CRIMES,
Of Which They Are Cleared by
Perjury.
UNOFFENDING CITIZENS STRUCK
And dubbed More Brutality When
They Dare to Protest Against
Their Treatment.

New YORK. Oct. 2.-Chief Counsel Golf
surprised the Lexow committee to-day.
He subpenaed all the members of the
force convicted of clubbing citizens during
the past year but who for some reason
have retained their positions on the force.
The feature of the day, however, was
the testimony Of the men accused OF club
bling citizens. Many surprising stories OF
inhumanity were told by the witnesses
A son of Rev. DR.. John Hall, the Pres by
terrain divine, claimed that ne had been
forcibly elected from station-house be-
cause he had gone there and protested
against an assault by an officer upon an
Italian fruit peddler.
A Columbia College student told Of the
assaults of the policemen made upon the
students while they were building bon
fires in vacant lot to celebrate one OF
their victories. Thomas Lucas said he
had asked Policeman Bernard Dunn IL he
had caught thief who stole 81 from him.
By way of reply the policeman dubbed
him, il fiicting wounds on bis head.
1t required tWeniy-seven stitches to
patch him up and when he reached the
police station the policeman pummeled
him in the face. Policeman George Lacey
was accused of clubbing woman and
trying to tear her cheek by inserting his
finger between her lips: Policeman Will
liam Rohring acknowledged that he had
| broken boys jaw, but claimed that this
| particular case of clubbing was accidental.
About fifty policemen were present.

attorney continued. rs to show that while
there have been 100 convictions in the past
three years for clubbing, only four dis
missals have occurred. We allege thai
the board encourages clubbing by failing
to properly punish it.
Mr.. Golf said that Of four dismissals
| only one VAS for clubbing a citizen, the
other three being for clubbing brother off,

statement: policemen commit felonies
which put civilians in prison and are only

CAUSED BY THE BIG FIRE.
Cargoes of Wheat Carried to New

PORTLAND, Or. Oct. 2.-The ship Reaper
Is loading wheat at;VictoTia dock for New
York. This vessel was the first chartered
to carry barley from this port for the At
laptie roast, and she was likewise the first
to- make a similar voyage with wheat.
Much speculation has been INDUCED in as
10 why this cereal is being shipped to New
York. where it can only be sold at loss.
The reason can be attr buted 10 the big.
fire OF the 22d ut., when the Pacific Coas,
elevator. and its contents were burned.
The Reaper was chartered by the elevator
company to take barley to New York. and
the grain with which she was to be loaded
was in store at the elevator. This was
destroyed. and as the ships charter would
not allow her to wait until another cargo
of bar ley is accumulated she took a cargo
of wheat. 1t is probable that there is not
another cargo of barley 10 this country.
as the ship Iroquois, which has similar
charter to the Reaper. will also load wheat
