ESCAPE WAS EASY ENOUGH
AN OUTSIDER COULD HAVE
HELPED Siberian OUT
With the Officers Out of the Station.
Man Could Have Gone In
Through the Barn, Up to the Cell
Room and Picked the Lock
Some Officer Is Under Sus-
pfciOn.

Police circles were all torn up yes
terday over the escape Of James Sheran
from the central station Sunday night
and Chief Goss declares the matter will
be fully investigated. That Sheran had
accomplfces on the outside is certain,
and suspicion Of connfvance by some
one In the police department in the
escape is the basis of the Investigation.
Inc authorities refused to state in what
direction the suspicion points, but Chief
Goss says that if it is found that any
member OF the department is in the
sllghtest manner connected with the es-
cape either by intent or ineXcusable
carelessness, the culprft will be inlme-
dlately discharged.
The authorities attach no blame to
Capt. Rouleau in having left the station
IN response to the false burglar alarm
from Reuben Warmers residence, as
ne is supposed to personally look after
such calls, nor is Jailer Miner held
wholly responsible, though he was in
charge of the station at the time of the
escape. Being the only one at the
station the jaIer could not leave the
office down stairs to maintain a watch
on Sheran In the upper corridor, a fact
undoubtedly figured on by Sheran and
his friends.
A new theory Of the escape advanced
yesterday was that Sheran may not
have had a key to the cell lock, but
that one of his friends may have Sc
cured entrance to the jail through the
barn after the patrol wagon went out
and have picked the lock, task which,
1t Is said, would have been easy of ac-
complishment at the hands of
machinist or any one familiar with
lock mechanism.
The search for Sheran continued
throughout yesterday but no trace Of
the fugitive was found. The police are
hopeful of recapturing Sheran, how
ever. as they claim he is still in hiding
within the city. close watch is be-
ing kept on all outgoing trains.
One Of the detectives working on the
case ascertained yesterday that a
stranger had recently had several keys
made corresponding closely to the sta
ton cell keys. The authorities refused
to state who the locksmith was that Ia
said to have made the keys but are
endeavoring to locate the man that had
the work done.
John Melrose, who was reported in
The G o of yesterday to have visit
ed Sheran a few minutes before the
escape, called at the station yesterday
and denied having been at the lookup
Sunday night. Tkis statement Capt
Rouleau says, is false. He says he has
known Melrose for years and that he is
positively that man who went to Sher-
ans cell just before the false telephone
message was received.
Melrose, on the other hand, says he
can prove he wasn't at the central sta
ton Sunday, but went to the union
depot with some cigars to give Sheran.
After waiting until the train pulled out
without seeing Sheran, Melrose says he
inquired why a change in the arrange
ments had been made and learned that
Sheran himself had upset the plans Of
the authorities.

Chamber of Commerce Deplores
supt. Curtis Departure.

New officers were elected for the
chamber of commerce at the meet
ing held yesterday, as follows: W. H.
Lightner, president; William B. Dean, first
vice president; r. A. Kirk, second vice presi-
dent; A S. Tallmadge secretary, and John
A. stees. treasurer.
Thomas Cochran was nominated for first
vice president by H. S. Fairchild, but de-
cined
The new president thanked the directors
for the assurance of their confidence and es-
TEEN. He should, so far as he was able
endeavor to act as the mouthpiece of the d.
rectors for that he believed to be the func
ton of the president. He had always taken
sured himself that the chamber exerted a
quiet but potent influence in the city, not
withstanding much adverse and often i'll

it's reputation or character. Such body was
a necessity in every city.
The only formal business on which action
was taken was the adoption of the following
resolution on the retirement of Prof Virgil
G. Curtis from the superintendency Of
schools:
the position of superintendent of schools in
the city of st. Paul for the past year, and
has brought cur school system into sat
isfactcry and prosperous condition with har-
mony between the teachers and the people,
and has displayed an unusual degree OF abil-
ity and devotion to the best interests of the
SCHOOLS, anQ
Whereas. Our school board has now seen fit
to dispense with the services of Prof Curtis
without assigning any reason therefor but
colceding that his services have been sat-
isfactory.
Resolved That the chamber of commerce
of the city of st. Paul does hereby testify
that Prof. Curtis has at all times during his
connection with our schools shown himself
to be a man of excellent executive ability
and Of broad ideas in matters relating to the
management Of a large school system the
best evidence of which is the quiet syste-
matte and satisfactory manner in which our
schools have been conducted during the past
year, and the fact that his relations with
the teachers have been particularly har
monous and that his impartial management
has won their confidence and respect
Prof. Curtis occupies an honorable posi-
ton as citizen of this city, and we believe
he has the respect and CONFIDENCE Of all who
know him.
Resolved. That the chamber deeply regrets
that the city Of st. Paul is to be deprived of
Prof. Curtis valuable services
In presenting 1t. Mr.. Crosby said that Mr..
Curtis had come to st. Paul under peculiar
circumstances. no reason had been given for
his dismissal. and, indeed, one member of
the board had told him there was no cause
for dropping him.
There were only one or two opposing votes
although H. S. Fairchild thought the refer,
ences to the school board should have been
eliminated

Three Barber Shops Investigated by
the State Board.

Three Barber Shops Investigated by
the State Board.
The state BARRIERS board heard evidence in
three cases against local BARRIERS, charged
with keeping unclean shops, at It's meeting
yesterday at the state house.
The complaint against Charles Void, pre-
fe1red by Charles Eek, occupied large por-
ton Of the day. VOID keeps shop at 40
Cedar street, and Eek claims that he was in
oculated with sycosis by being shaved in the
defendants shop.
Some interesting evidence was given by the
witnesses in the case as to the most approved
way of shaving the beard, the number OF
towels necessary In well regulated barber
shop and other materials pertaining to ton
serial etiquette.
Void was placed on the stand and got con-
siderably muddled in his testimony. He had
he said, $50 towels in his shop, and he shaved
about forty people per day, to say nothing Of
the hair cuts. He used two towels on every
a week.
Void stated that he attended the BARRIERS
school in Minneapolis. When asked how
many towels were used there during the day
he stated that about twelve were given out
In the morning and about twenty-five people
were shaved. This statement caused some
amusement on the part Of the board ]. A.
Moak, a patron Of Wold's shop. gave favor
able testimony for the defendant. The owl
cence was not completed until late in the
afternoon.
Cases Of similar nature against William
O'Brien, of 4S1 Wabasha street, and Fred q.
Davis. Of 1880 East Seventh street. were also
heard and taken under advisement by the
board. 'N0
