Samuel Moger made that statement
at police headquarters yesterday. It
might have been the statement of a

Moser murdered his family in his own
home near Horton, Ills, last Sunday. a

within reach of the law and justice.
He lies on a cot at police headquarters,

CeleStalS Flee the City, Some Heading For the Interior
While Many Resist incubation

San Francisco, May 19.-The board of
health has adopted a resolution declar-
ing that bubonic plague exists in San
Francisco. The health authorities say
that while there are no living cases
here, there have been six deaths during
the past three months and they have
decided to take precautions against the
developments and spread of the dis
ease.
The resolution, which was adopted
late last night, reads as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this board that bubonic plague exists
in the city and county Of San Francisco.
and that ali. necessary steps already
taken for the prevention Of it's spread
be continued, together with such ad-
ditionaf measures as may be required"
The members of the board of health
say that there is absolutely no danger
OF the development or spread of the dis
ease in San Francisco, but that thew
do not propose to take any chances and
it is their duty to take precautions.
Trouble in Chinatown.

Chinatown to treat Chinese with Half

Wound Not Dangerous.
While the police were puzzling over
the weird letters Of the murderer, a
doctor was examining his injury. =
was apparent that the wound was not
dangerous, the pistol having been held
at al outward angle, and The ball, go
ing in above and TO the right of the
eye, having come out in the middle of
she forehead. A bandage was wrapped
around it, and Moser began to talk
ram blingly. He seemed demented at
intervals, and sobbed at other times.
His talk was sometimes rational, and
he seemed TO realize perfectly the po-
sition he was in. At times a demon
iacal grin would set on his features,
and he would look inquiringly at
everybody who entered Il door.
After he had eaten something. and
when approached, he formed a picture
entirely different. He was lying on
cot in the sergeant's room, face down
ward, and sobbing. Remorse was in
dictated in every line Of his face in spite
of his claim that he is not sorry. When
spoken to. he raised uD on one arm,
seemingly pleased to have some one
to talk with.
He says he is 80 years old, but he
would readily be taken for 40. His eyes

Consulate is Stoned.
The consul general is cooperating
with the board of health as much as
possible, but several demonstrations
among the Chinese have caused him

day small mob surrounded the con-
sulate and stoned the building. This
action resulted in a detachment of DO
lice being detailed to protect the cons

DR.. Vincent P. Buckley. a member of
the board Of health, said to an Asso-

VIII Fight in Courts.
It was learned late tonight that the
Chinese have retained attorneys t.

board OF health to compel them to sub
