| below. Jumping into buggy which hap
pened to be hitched near by, he drove
leisurely away. That is the last the people
of Salem have seen OF him.
G. M. Clark, who is thought to be the alb
sconding clerk, first came to San Fran
cisco about five weeks ago. He was ac-
com panied by his wife, and the two en-
gagged rooms at 100 Powell street. During
their three weeks stay Mrs. Clark, accord
ing to the proprietor's story, appeared
very unhappy. She often omplained of
the life she was forced to lead, saying if
the husband did not soon begin new life
she would leave. She spoke of her hus-
band as gambler and an utterly profligate
fellow.
The couple left the Powell street house
nearly three weeks ago, intending to make
their home in Alameda. On January %
Clark again applied at the Powell-street
clearinghouse for room, though on this
occasion he was not accompanied by his
wife. He explained that she was in Ala
media, but would probably join him in a
day or so. So far. however, she has not
put in an appearance, and it is thought
that she has finally determined to leave
him.
Clark, or Murphy, at one time pros
pected through Southern California. He
was first heard of at Hornitos, but sud-
denly disappeared from there, and has
succeeded in remaining in hiding until To-
Gated by Chappelle. The Salem authori-
ties have been notified of the arrest.

CAN GIVE AWAY LOTS.
How the Cemetery Associations Will
Avoid the Recently Enacted
Ordinance,

The cemetery associations are not en-
tirely in despair over the action of Mayor
Sutro in signing the ordinance prohibiting
the sale of burial lots in the burial grounds
within the City limits, but think thew
have found way of avoiding the law.
One of the directors of the Odd Fellows
Association said yesterday that he thought
the ordinance could be made entirely in
operative.
Even if it is declared to be constitu-
tional,' he said, I'VE will keep on bury
ing. as we can give our plats away, and we
will certainly do so rather than have them
on our hands. While we will not sell them.
there is nothing to prevent us raising the
price OF grave-digging to any figure we see
lit. We are not at all alarmed over the
situation, as the ordinance. besides being
full of holes, is not broad enough to cover
the situation.
There is only one way to stop the sale
or disposal of cemetery lots, and that is to
prohibit further buriais in San Fran cisco.
If such a course is pursued of course it will
accomplish something, but so long as
burials are permitted the cemetery people
will find no difficulty at all in evading such
laws as that only lately passed.

in front of the Fireman's Fund building
talking to a gentleman. Confident that
he had spotted the right man, he waited
until Murphy had reached the corner of
California and Sansome streets, when he
was arrested.
Clark-for such is the name he now
claims-was too much surprised to make
any show of resistance, and before aston
ishment had given way to well-feigned in
dignatlon his wrists were encircled with
pair of steel bracelets. Calling a hack,
Chappelle hastened his prisoner to the City
Hall, where he was temporarily placed in
the detectives room. The officer stepped
into the front room for a moment, but his
back was scarcely turned when Clark
rushed for the window, raised 1t, and,
steadying himself for a moment, made
leap for the court below, q distance of fif-
teen feet.
Chappelle heard the raising of the win
dow, and reached it just as Clark's form
disappeared. He called to the latter to
halt, but the fellow declined the invita-

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Executive Committee of the South Sid
Clubs Shows Interest.

Executive Committee of the South Side
Clubs Shows Interest.
The five improvement organizations of
the South Side are getting ready to go
into the good roads movement with pretty
much the same en- thusiasm they showed
in the matter of having Folsom street
paved.
The executive committee of all five clubs
held a meeting in the office of DR.. T. A.
Rottanzi, at Third and Folsom streets,
last night, and talked over the intentions
of the good roads committee of the League
of American Wheelmen. The South Side
organizations propose to cooperate with
demonstration which it is intended to
have when the State Bureau of Highways
completes its present tour of the State.
Secretary Kitchener of the good roads
committee of the wheelmen is about to
issue circular invitations TO all public
bodies in the City asking them to be rep
resented in a preliminary meeting to be
held at the rooms of the Bay City Wheel
men on the 18th inst.
Being already informed of the pro-
gramme of the League of American Wheel
men, the South Side executive committee
last night chose as its representatives to
attend the preliminary meeting on Febru-
AIRY 10 IreSluenIS UeOTSe "a. haaDe OF Fol
som-street Club No. l, Joseph Kelly of
club No. 2, Leon Samuels of club No. 8
and John ]. Rafferty, of club No. 4, and
President T. A. Rottanzi and Secretary |.
Schwartz of the Central South Side Club
and A. B. Mcguire, the father of the Fol
som-street movement.
Most of the meeting was in the nature of
jubilation over the action of the Super
visors in concluding at last to do some
thing toward the paving of Folsom street.
Naturally the question of having proper
gas, water and sewer connections made
while the street is in process of being
paved, instead of having them made after
the street is paved, was discussed, and a
committee, composed of A. B. Mcguire,
George L. Center and f. w. McEwen, was
chosen to call upon the Spring Valley
Water Company and the San Francisco
Gas and Electric Light Company and to
ask those corporations to cooperate in the
matter of improvement by having timely
connections made.
The committee will send out circular
letters to the properry-owners in a few
days, asking them to do their utmost to-
ward putting in the connections in time.
The idea is to prevent the unnecessary
tearing up of the street again.

ton. Half staggering and running, he
made for the corner of the shed used by
the patrol wagon, but before he reached 1T
Chappelle fired shot, hoping to scare him
into submission.
Clark evidently did not care if he was
struck by a stray bullet-he had made
desperate dash for liberty and didn't pro-
pose to rtop until forced to. He rushed
across McAllister street to Larkin, fol-
lowed by half dozen officers and several
hundred excited citizens. Dashing past
the Supreme Court building the fleeing
man turned down Chestnut alley, but had
hardly gone more than ten feet when
Policeman Brophy brought him to sud-
den halt.
He was carried back to the detectives
room, and later locked up in the Central
station to await complete Identification.
During. the two hours he remained in
ofhcers' quarters he assumed q somewhat
defiant attitude, refusing to say anything
further than it was a case of mistaken
identity. He declined to tell where he

the prison bags are recognized by the
farmers as superior article. The demand
for the San Quentin bags has been brisk,
but the warden has been Obliged to put off
replying until the price was officially fixed.
There are now on hand at the prison
4,250,Oo0 bags, and this number will be
daily increased. The mill will start on
Tuesday next and will turn out 1906 day
thereafter, making anaggregate of 2.0o0, 600
additional bags likely to be available by
July.
There is considerable speculation re-
garding the man who will be appointed to
fill the vacancy on the Prison Board caused
by the expiration of Director Devlin's
term. The general consensus of opinion
at present seems to be in favor of James
III. Wilkins of San Rafael, former direc-
tor. Wilkins is a Democrat and is recog-
nized by his friends as competent man.
The board will meet on the 8th inst. at
San Quentin.

The Prisoner, Clarence Murphy, Alias
A. M. Clark, Says It Is a Case of
Mistaken Identity.

United States Deputy Marshal P. S.
Chappelle made what will probably prove
an important capture yesterday in the per-
son of c. NJ. Clark, who is supposed to be
Clarence Murphy, an absconding clerk of
the Salem Savings Bank.
Murphy is accused of making away with
100000 of the funds of the bank, and a re-
ward of $1,000 is offered for his capture.
Some three weeks ago Detective Chap
pelle received word from the town mar
shall of Salem TO the effect that Murphy
was in San Francisco, and that he had
altered his appearance by growing set of
