prisoner explained that he had played an
old trick on Deputy Marshal Oaks. When
the latter put the handouts on him he
had his hands clasoed with his thumb n
his wrist. When the thumb was with.
drawn there was plenty of room in which
to move his hand III and out.
The Deputy Marshal took no further
chances with the man he had recaptured,
but at once started for San Quentin with
HIM. On his return he will remain here
couple of days to see if he cannot recap
ture his other prisoner. Henning is well
known to the police here and it is thought
that his liberty will be short-lived, more
especially as he still has the handouts
attached to his left wrist.
Henning and Clark were arrested In Los
Angeles last December for atte N pting to
manufacture and circulate counterfeit
coin. Clark had worked for a time in a
dental laboratory, and he conceived the
brilliant idea, it seems, that he could
make counterfeit coins with the same
material-plaster of par:s-that he used in
molding forms for the mouth. He took
Henning and boy OF 16, OF good parent
age, into partnership with him. The
young fellow was to "shove the queer" on
an unsuspecting public, but his very first
attempt resulted in his arrest. He
peached on his associates and the officers
withheld his name from the public. The
arrest of Henning and Clark followed.
They were soon afterward indicted by
the Federal Grand Jury, tried in the
United States Circuit Court of Los An
geles, convicted and on March were sem
fenced to five years each in San Quentin
prison. In CIark's deu were fund
clumsy pair of plaster OF paris molds for
making four biz pieces and q quantity of
very crude coins. The pair had apparently
come to grief on their first attempt to ''do
business" Los Angeles knew of no pre-
vious record of .he pair in the line of
counterfeiting. Henning, the one who
escaped, is a native OF Belgium. butcner
by trade, aged about 3S years, 5 feet 81
inches in height and weighs about los
pounds, dark hair, gray ewes, dark COM
plexion. of compact build, scar on left eye-
wrist.

in San Francisco this afternoon and saw
one of the middle men who handle our
goods. He never realized but that the
competition in the price OF twine was
from free white labor until he read THE
CALL OF last Wednesday morning."
William Rutherford, the superintendent
of the East Oakland mills, laughed when
il was hinted that an effort was being
made to have it appear thst John D.
Spreekels e. Bros. were as much OF u
menace to free labor as the Examiner.
THE Spreckels firm are doing the State
a benefit by purchasing some sugar bags
at San Quentin" he said. "If they did
not buy there they would have to use CAL
cutta bags and the money would then 60
out of the country.
I'VE do not make any such bags and
could not DO so at the price at which they
are imported from Calcutta. Consequent
w, by all means give the work to San
Quentin and lessen its cost to the State.
Il am certain that If we could make
sugar bags at Calcutta prices the Spreck-
elses would buy every one of us. We
make hundreds of thousands of bags for
the firm and every pound OF beet SUGAR
that is made in TINS State and the sugar
refined at San Francisco is placed in our
bags. The only other bags used are a
which are sent directly to Honolulu.

of the mill in the matter of sugar-bags
that he might have purchased at free
labor mills. These reports we're repeated
by CALL reporter to the officers of the
California Cotton Mills and they were
somewhat amused.
They said they were perfectly aware
that Mr. Spreckels was purchasing some
sugar bags from San Quentin and said it
was good thing that he was as it kept
the money in the State that would other
wise have gone 10 Calcutta When
Mr.. Spreckels was making inquiry into
the sugar-bag market he consulted the
cotton mills and was informed that they
could not m Ike them so cheaply as the
imported goods from Calcutta, with
which the market was flooded. This be-
ing so, it was better 10 keep the money In
the State by patronizlng San quentin
instead of East Indian coolies.
The bags bought by the Spreckelses at
San Quentin are not used in this country.
Thev are coarse bag, known as "P. ck-
cts, and are shipped to Honolulu. For
a long time Spreckels used imported bags.
which came to San Francisco and which
were never out of bond, and consequently
no duty was paid on them. They We're
merely in transit to Honolulu. All the
sugar bags-and they amount to millions
annually-useo by SpreckeIs in California
are made in free-labor mills, and the re-

Secretary G.. X. Miller, when told of the
rerorts said: I'VE were consulted at the
tIne the Spreckelses gave their order to San
Quentin and we agreed that we could not
NJ axe the sugar bags at the price at which
tnev could be imported and laid down in
San Francisco from Calcutta. We believe
that Mr.. Spreckels conferred a favor upon
the State of California when he ordered
his goods of San Quentin ra atber than
from Calcutta. In this way he is helping
to support the State institution without
competing with free white labor. Mr..
Spreckels is q great patron of free-labor
jutemills.
''AlI of the goods that We manufacture
ana he uses, he purchases Of us. To our
mind, we could make ali of his sugar bags
if we could furnish them at Calcutta
prices. With Calcutta bags in bond at a
certain price, no importer with any busi-
ness sense can be expected 10 pav higher
prices, or his competitors would soon
drive him out of business. We do not nor
never have made a solitary sugar-bag in
our mills that is used for importation.
All of his beet-sugar bags for Alvarado
and the Western Refinery. San Francisco,
are made by us IN the California Cotton
mills. We ship by carload lots to both
places, and often fill orders am ounting to

ESCAPED FROM A
DEPUTY MARSHA
Two C0unterfeiters Created
a Scene on the Water
Front.
One of Them Got Away by Join
ing in the Chase After
His Companion.

There was scene of wild excitement at
the ferries yesterday morning. The
steamer bearing the Los Angeles passen-
gers had just discharged her human
freight and every body was making for the
cars when there came cry of stop those
prIsonersW At the same instant two men
broke through the crowd, and one taking
the east side and the other the west side Of
East street, they ran for their lives in the
direction of Folsom street. In few sec
onds there was a yelling mob in chase,
but had it not been for the pres nee of
mind Of Harry Berges, watchman on
the Oceanic Steamship Company wharf,
both prisoners would have escaped. He
tripped up one OF the fleeing convicts and
pinioned him before he could rise A few
minutes later the painting Deputy Mars hal
came on the scene and again handcuffed
his man. The other. prisoner was no.
where in sight.
Last FRIDAY Deputy United States Mar
shal w. j. Oaks left Los Angeles with
Frank Henning and John A. Clark
found guilty of counterfeiting and
were on their way to San Quentin
to serve a five years sentence. The
prisoners were handcuffed together and
behaved themselves on the way here. It
appears, however, that Bauer could slip
his hand in and out of the cuff at pleas
ure. and he and Henning made all their
arrangements for a break for liberty as
soon as San Francisco was reached. While
walking out through the ferry building
the plan was carried ont and the wild
rush followed.
Clark ran like scared deer, but Hem
ming concealed the handouts that dam
gled from his wrist in his pocket and
joined the pursuers. "There he goes!' he
yelled along with the others, and when
mis- fellow prisoner had been captured he
quietly slipped away and has not been
seen since.
