CONVICT CAPTURES BOAT
Forced Captain and Five Men.to Car
ry Him to Place Of Safety.

Capt. Clark of the steam launch H..
& S. Friday gave d thrilling account
OF the trip of himself and crew up the
sound Thursday in company with
Harry Tracy, the escaped Oregon con-
vict who, at the point Of a rifle, forced
all hands to embark and pilot him
northward. For nearly ten hours
Tracy was commander of the craft by
virtue OF force, finally abandoning it
and escaping into the wood.
Capt. Clark said:
I'VE had been working at South
Point. l entered the company'S house
in the morning and found q man with
a gun there l supposed the boys
we're playing some prank and paid no
further attention to him or to the
other men but proceeded to eat break
fast, l reached my hand into my
pocket and then for the first time the
stranger spoke, Take your hands out
of your pockets, Captain, said he.
You have gun there. 1t is no
use for you to draw it..
After ordering the cook tc put him
up launch he ordered four Of us to
tie the other two men in the party and
then proceed to the launch. Arriving
at the launch he helped US to get un-
der way, all the time keeping his
hands on his rifle.
''All day he exercised the most ex-
asperating vigilance to prevent US from
getting the drop on him in any man
ner, or even from discussing the mat
ter ourselves, for the purpose of form
ing a plan for some sort OF action. we
we're all unarmed. On just one occa-
sion during the day did there seem to
be for single moment an opportunity
to take him at a disadvantage. That
was off McNeill:s island, when he
leaned over the side of the launch tC
take shot at the seals.
las he was firing, the chance fO1
which had been watching seemed tc
present itself and l made a move to-
wards him, thinking to push him over
while ais back was turned. AS did
he raised up slightly, as though he
had an idea of shooting and in order
to elude any suspicion as to my inten-
tions l turned my face away as though
to look after the boat. He fired, and
before could return my attention to
him he had turned around and reload
ed his rifle
Tracy is still at large. He was cor,
nered at Bothell, - miles north OF
Seattle and a fight enSued, in which
three men were shot. Tracy is report
ed wounded.
A special train with an additional
posse on board has left here fo1
Bothell. 1t is hoped to intercept Sheri Il
Cudihoe of King county and have
him request Gov. McByde, who is
here. to call out the militia.

Small Salaries and Honesty.

Na dip the t0llO:TiE" frnr I'Ee
Saturday Blade Of Chicago: Judge
Edward i. Dunno, of the criminal
court Of Chicago, has recently rem
dered d decision that is Of interest to
every business man in the country It
was the case Of the state versus
William G.. West. an emplUyc OF the
paching houSeof Nelson Morris 4 Co..
who was charged BY that company
with enlightenment.
West. d young married :iiaI aJcut
30 years OF age. who was living with
and supporting wife and two chill
dren. had charge o! meat car for the
firm. and each week loaded the car in
Chicago and then took i; TO Aurora,
making six or eight stops at small
towns along the way to make deliveries
to small dealers. West collected the
money for all his deliveries and twice
week made a written report and
turned in his money, amounting some
times to as high as So, coo. For doing
all this work. and occupying posi-
tion of trust in which thousands Of
dollars passed through his hands he
was paid SIS per week. The company
that employed him pushed the pro-
secution and wanted him sent to the
penitentiary. but Judge Dune found
him guilty of embezZling but SIS, thus
saving him from the penitentiary, and
sentenced him to serve thirty days in
jail.
In rendering his decision Judge
Dunno told the employers Of West
that when they asked man to take
such responsible position at such a
small salary and where he is called On
in the performance Of his duty to col
lect such large amounts Of money:
knowing that be has a wife and Two
children to care for, you are simply
inviting him to commit crime, or at
least exposing him to temptation. and
it is wrong"
The judge said he believed West, the
prisoner, to be good man, and that
had his salary been even as much as So
more per week he would never have
been exposed to temptation. If ne
had been paid S25 week as he should
have been paid, he would have had
$500 in the bank instead Of being here
convicted of embeZzlement." The
decision Of Judge Dunno is we'll worth
serious consideration by all who give
employment to others.

SAID TO BE DAN GOULD.
Made His Escape Twenty Years

The State of Thursday says more
than 20 years ago Dan Gould. con-
victed of murder and condemned to
be hanged, escaped from the jail in
Montgomery county, \. c.. before the
day set for his execution.
\ negro, known as Thomas Mad
dry. but supposed to be Dan Gould,
was arrested in Georgetown recently,
and the governor of North Carolina
has been asked to issue requisition pa
pers. Governor Aycock wired Gov
ernor McSweeney Wednesday that the
request had been honored and an
officer would go to Georgetown today.
The authorities in Georgetown have
replied that they will hold the suspect
until the officer arrives.
Gould killed a white man in Anson
county, having beaten him to death
with a fence rail. He was tried in
Montgomery county, was convicted
and sentence was passed upon him.
He had not been heard of after max
ing his escape until it was stated
that he had been captured in George
town.
The negro under arrest strongly de-
MED that he is the fugitive from An
son county, and refused to go to North
Carolina until requisition papers had
been issued.
The North Carolina officials inves-
tigated the case most carefully, and
they are of the opinion that the ne
gro is undoubtedly Gould, who has SO
long escaped justice. The record in
Montgomery and AnSon was hunted
up and formal application made to
Governor Aycock for a reQuiSition.
Should the suspect really be Dan
Gould, when he is taken back it will
be Governor Aycock's duty to set a
date for his execution. He has al
ready been convicted and no further
trial can be held.
Not another case in the State OF
North Carolina is recalled where a
man has been convicted of murder,
sentenced, then escaped and recap
tured after 20 long years. There is a
case, however, where murderer was
caught 25 years after his crime, tried
and convicted. Usually, though, it is
almost impossible to get the witnesses
after so long time.
Gould will undoubtedly employ
counsel and try to get cummutation
on the ground that he has led a cor
rect life for the past 20 years.

The Fowler Bill Explained.

The following short explanation OF
the Fowler bill, which we take from
The COmmoner, will be OF interest to
our readers. The bill has three main
features: First, it provides for a re-
deemable silver dollar: second, it pro-
vides for an asset currency, and. third,
it provides for branch bank. The
object of the provision to make the
silver dollar redeemable is to establish
the gold standard more firmly. and the
ultimate aim is to retire the silver
dollars either by recOinage into SubSld-
iary silver or by the substitution OF
bonds. The redeemable feature is
only step toward the other, for as
soon as the silver dollar is made re-
deemable it will form an endless chain
and can be used for an indefinite drain
upon the treasury: and the fact that
it can be used to drain the treasury
will be the excuse given for its retire
ment. When the gold standard is
complete only gold will be standard
money and bank paper will be the
only paper money.
The Fowler bill converts about
$500, 100000 Of real money into a
promise to pay real money, and to this
extent narrowS the base of our cur
rency and increases the strain upon
gold. This necessarily weakens our
financial system. instead Of strength
ening it. The provision for an asset
currency enables banks to issue money
upon their assets: that is, upon the
deposits which have been received and
loaned out, and the system would in
crease the liability of the bank, it be-
ing liable, first, to the depoSitors. and:
second. to the note holders. Without
increasing its assets it would very
much eXaggerate the severity Of any
panic. In times Of industrial depreS-
sion the uncertainty of the money
would be added to other uncertainties:
in fact, it would be greater than all
other uncertainties combined. In
good times the banks would reap lar
ger profits and in bad times the peo~
ple would suffer greater loss.
The branch bank feature is the one
that is just now exciting alarm among
the small banks, for they are begin
ming to see that the Fowler bill is the
death warrant of the small banker.
A banker who supports trusts and is
willing that small dealers should be
driven out Of business cannot consis-
tently oppose a bank trust merely be-
cause the bank trust will drive the
small banker out OF business. but a
Democrat who is opposed to the prin-
ciple of private monopoly can oppose
the branch bank and the money trust
as well as other trusts. The Republi-
cans do not dare to pass this bill be-
fore the congressional campaign, but
their plan is to pass both it and ship
subsidy bill at the second session, al
ter the election is over. If Republl-
cans were as we'll Informed as they
ought to be they would seize the op-
portunity offered by this falls con-
gressional election to administer such
a rebuke to the leaders Of the party as
to save the party from the disgrace
that such legislation would entail.

THE CRIME OF EATING.

The ArGonaut recently contained an article On "The Three Meal Habit. . which has been copied in a number of our contemporaries. The Honolulu Ad- vcrtiser in commenting on this article, r1marks: Tn the tropics the lighter the diet the better the health. The leading doctors of Honolulu advocate two meals day as being enough for anybody there and not heavy meals at that Those who toll hardest in the Hawaiian islands eat little but rice
 while those who toll least eat three meals a day. with meat at each meal
 Experience shows that this three meal habit makes business for the drug stores and doctors. The convicts in Oahu prison. who get a fixed ration just enough to keep them strong. and no more. who work hard on the streets and in the quarries-these convicts are healthier than the same number of free day laborers or mechanics" This last statement proves the case. In all prisons there is a diet for men in cells, men in the yards and men working hard in the open air. Those in the cells, who lead about the same life as tho average clerk or accountant get a very light ration. but it is enough to keep them in health. If they are fed as much as the men who work outdoors

The Much Discussed Question. What
 Shall We Do With Our Girls?"
 What shall we do with our girls? This question was discussed learnedIy. inn partially and interestingly in the col umns of the New York Ledger away back in the 'GCs by Henry Ward Beecher James Parton and Fanny Fern. It was supposed to be finally settled to everybody's satisfaction. when our girls undertook to solve it for themselves. Yet here it is, confronting us again.
 That is to say. it is confronting Presi- dent Harper of the University of Chi cago.
