ESCAPE FROM
DETENTION SHED
Three japanese Being Held
for Deportation Climb
Through Hole in the Roof
TWO ARE RECAPTURED
Missing Ones Skin Covered
With Tattoo Work and He
Will Probably Be Caught
TWO ARE RECAPTURED

Three Japanese who slowed away
in Japan on the liner Manchuria and
were being held in the detention shed
at the Pacific Mail wharf awaiting de-
poration escaped on Monday night.
Two of them tumbled from the raft
ers back to captivity when a revolver
exploded underneath their hiding
place. The third is still missing and
is thought to haye made his escape
by walking boldly down the main
stairway when Head Watchman
Blackburn, who was on duty, was not
looking. The missing man is elabor-
ateiy tattooed with dragons and ORR
entail gods and his recapture before
long is deemed a certainty.
The men were missed at 1880
.. M, when Night Watchman w.
Wassley of the Pacific Mail Company
checked UP his charges. The alarm
was sounded and a vigilant search
runaways until Watchman Joe Hays
looked into locker, little more than
a foot square and noticed that board
had been removed at the top. Break
ing their way through the watchmen
found themselves among the rafters
and in an inky darkness
Hays fired a shot through the roof
ana DelOT6 Tile llOiSG VI the EXPLOSION
had ceased to echo two cobweb-cov-
cred Japanese fell at the feet of the
searchers, begging for quarter and be-
seeching that they be returned alive
to their honorable prison.
All of yesterday the hunt for the
third man continued in vain. The
search showed, however, that he did
not make his escape by the roof route,
but must have passed out through the
main door, where Watchman Black
burn of the Chinese Bureau was on
guard.
The locker, through the roof of
which the Japanese reached the raft
ers, is hardly large enough to accom-
odate a hat and in making their es-
cape that way the stowaways must
have performed a feat Of contortion
that an anatomist would pronounce
impossible.
The Asiatics in the detention shed
were counted nineteen times last night
and got little sleep between rollcalls,
but they were all there this morning.

BURIAL MARKED
By SIMPLICITY
Funeral of Colonel Edgar F.
Preston Is Attended by
Only Immediate Friends
BODY PLACED IN TOMB
Closest of His Kin Act as
Pallbearers to Resting
Place That Is Temporary

The funeral Of Colonel Z. Z. Preston
took place yesterday at 1 o'clock from
MS home. Portola Hall, near Redwood
City. The ceremonies were of the most
simple character, only the immediate
relatives and one or two intimate
friends being present. This was IN ac-
cordance with the wishes often ex-
pressed by Colonel Preston.
At the residence the Rev. David
Evans, rector Of Grace Church of this
city, read the short service Of the Epis-
copal church. The remains were then
carried TO the hearse by the closest
kin-a son. Randolph Preston, and the
sons-in-law, l. D. Owens, Willard
Drown and Worthington Ames.
The four pallbearers, in company
with old-time friends, Frank Maskey
and John w. Bourdette, accompanied
the remains from the home to Redwood
City Here a private car was in wait
ing. and it was late in the afternoon
when the small funeral party arrived
at Cypress Lawn Cemetery.
The funeral cortege was augmented
at the cemetery by Thomas H. 3. Var
ney, J. Charles Green and two en-
ployes from Colonel Preston's office,
Miss A Rohrer and George c. Brown.
1t proceeded slowly along the long,
winding drive to the Hooper mauso-
le1m, where the remains were tenn
porarily placed.
Masses of beautiful st. Joseph lilies
decked the entrance to the marble
tomb. The golden sun was slowly sink
ing into the west as the funeral party
silently took a farewell look at one
whom they had esteemed very highly.

COURT HOLDS LETTERS
ARE INSUFFICIENT PROOF
REFUSES TO Annul Marriage on Hus-
bands Penned Confession That
He Is a Bipamisf.

Mrs. Alice Spurway tried in vain in
Judge Hebbard's court yesterday to
secure a decree annuling her marriage
10 George Spurway on the ground that
al the time she welded him he had
another wife living. Mrs. Spurway's
lawyer presented two letters in sup
port Of her case. one written by Spur
way admitting that he is a bigamist,
the other by Mrs. Mary SpufWay. in
which she says she was the first wife
of Spurway and that he abandoned
her and their ten children over fifteen
years ago, but never secured a divorce
from her. Judge Hebbard held that
letters Of any nature could easily be
written and that before he would an
nul the marriage the first Mrs. Spur
way must be produced, together with
proper proofs that in fact she is the
legal wife of the defendant in the case
al bar.
Fannie de Roos established her
claim in Judge Troutt's court yester-
day that her husband, Leon de Roos,
proprietor Of the Sunset Bazaar, treat
ed her brutally for many months past
and she was granted a divorce on the
ground Of extreme cruelty. Mrs. de
Roos, who is a woman Of striking ap-
pearance, was greatly affected while
telling her story. frequently giving
way TO tears. II is understood that
the property rights of the parties Will
be settled out OF court
DEGREES of divorce were also grant
ed to Eugene W. Wright from Sylvia
L. Wright for infldelity, Carl Jonne-
void from Mary Jonnevold for willfui
desertion and Stella Jones from Harry
II. Y. Jones for extreme cruelty. Suits

Laughlin from John Mclaughlin for

How Just a I Am" Came to Be
Written.

Written.
In the March Delineator Allen
Switzerland gives an interesting
account of the origin Of "Just as
AM" Charlotte Elliott's famous
hymn. After telling how the hymn
came to be inspired through a re-
mark Of DR.. Caesar Malan to the
invalid composer, when she had
told him that she did not know how
to find Christ-"Come to him Just
as you are" said DR.. Malan-it is
related that the hymn first appeared
anonymously In The Yearly Re-
membrancer. DR.. G. 8. Robinson,
a noted clergyman, states: "Begin-
ming thus its public history In the
columns Of an unpretending maya
zine, the little anonymous lynn,
with its sweet counsel to troubled
minds, found Its way into scrap
books, then into religious circles
and chapel assemblies, and finally
into the hymnals." That the hymn
has had deep influence for good
upon humanity may be seen
from the testimonies Of ministers
given in this article, and from the
fact that after the death Of Miss
Elliott, above q thousand letters
were found among her papers thank
Ing her personally for the great
blessings which had come to the
lives of the writer's through the in
strumentality Of "Just as / AM"

sELY GOVERNMENT DENIED.

We claim that We have Q govern.
ment Of the people, by the Ieop.e,
and for The people-but this prlnci-
PIE of government is often more a
theory than q practice. A bill was
pending before the Legislature few
days ago. introduced by Representa-
tive Butler Of Sampson county, pro-
vlding that the County Boards Of
Education in the various counties
shall be elected by the peop!e-at
the same time and In the same man.
ner that other county officers are
elected. This was O meritorious
bill and should have received the
unanimous endorsement of every
member Of the Legislature
These Board Of Education have
large powers. They appoint the
County Superintendent Of Educa-
ton, and all the school committee
men in the county. They have
control of the entire school fund of
the county, which is the largest
fund provided for by the taxpayer
in the county. They locate school
houses, employ teachers and fix their
salary, consolidate districts and
create new ones, and, in fact, have
charge of all the entire school inter-
est of their county. A position so
important should be elected by the
people-but not so. The member
of the Legislature from each county
now has that great responsibility
and power TO simply name the men
from his county to fill these places,
and when a bill was introduced to
let the people say who these officers
should be, Democratic Legislature
said NO. and promptly voted the
bill down. So it appears that the
entire public school affairs Of any
county, is at the mercy Of that
county's representative in the Leg
lslature, who refuses to surrender
that power and privilege to the
people where 1t belongs.
Two years ago a man was sp-
pointed on the Beard Of Education
In one county who had been dead
twelve months. In many counties
the member Of the Legislature ap-
pointed a Board of Education, for
his county, which in their turn ap
pointed him the County Superin-
tendent, and this disgracefu! proceed
ure Is made possible and can be,
continued, because the Legislature
refuses to pass a measure to give
the people the right and privilege
to elect their own school officers.
