Oliver WiIkersOn Escapes From
Asylum Attendants.
An Exciting Chase Through
West Side Ensues.
FALLS IN A FAINT.
Caught When He Drops Elk
hausted on Ground.
Begs PiteOusly Not to Be Taken
Back.

With Oliver D. Wilkerson. an es-
capped inmate of the insane asylum,
running at full speed and attendants
from the asylum and other following
closely in his rear. trying to effect his
capture, the residents in the west part
Of the city were given a thorough scare
this morning.
For Gods sake don't let them take
me back" cried -WiIkerson at the top
of his voice as his pursuers were press
ing him hard. The sight OF the white
faced man, painting heavily and break
ing out in frenzied cries brought the
people to their windows and doors.
Wilkerson led his would be captors a
merry chase. Over hill and down he
raced the long way from the asylum
on the outer western edge of the city,
through Auburndale, Potwin and fin
ally reached Lincoln street, well to-
wards the heart of the residence sec
ton on the west side. The crowd
which was giving chase to capture the
escaped insane man was augmented at
every street corner until there were
upwards of fifty, men and boys, in pur-
suit. At Lincoln and Fifth streets
Wilkerson, who was now about ex-
hausted, turned south to Sixth avenue,
thCt East OlA R1lALH avenue TO buchanan
and then to Seventh, doubling back
west on Seventh At Seventh and
Lane streets he fell completely ex-
hausted to the ground, still family
moaning and protesting aginst his cap
ture and return to the asylum. He
was unconscious a short time and
when removed offered no resistance.
except a verbal protest as the at
tendants proceeded to take him back
with them.
Wilkerson was out taking his consti-
tutional with a large body OF inmates
OF the asylum on the grounds at the in
stitution this morning at shortly after
10 o'clock. This is the usual method
of taking out the less violent prisoners.
Wflkerson suddenly eluded those in
charge and darted away. The alarm
was given and attendants started in
pursuit.
Oliver Wilkerson is barely past the
thirtfes and was adjudged insane and
committed to the asylum this spring.
He was not violent at that time but
seems to be getting steadily worse. He
was a brilliant young man until his
health became wrecked. For a wear
he has given his relatives and the au-
thorities much trouble He is harm
less and 1t was hoped that q course
of treatment at the state institution
would restore his mind and health.

! Washington, July 16.-Perfect santa
ton and cleanliness are proving fatal
to the West Indian negroes employed
on the Panama canal. Although Col
/ Gorgas and his associates have Danish
ed yellow fever and other tropical fe-
vers which made the canal zone one
large burying ground for the French

ters occupied by worlxnen make the
Jamaican negroes especially suscept1-
( bic to pneumonia and other throat and
lung troubles.
West Indians are not accustomed to
an abundance OF fresh air and well ven
tilated, Clearly quarters. Living for
| generations in small huts. where large
families crowd into rooms tightly closed
against the night air, the negroes from
Jamaica and other tropical Islands have
developed lungs with cramped capacity
and especially susceptible to changes of
/ temperature.
The officers in charge have found that
the West Indian laborers can not be
! induced to eat sufficient wholesome food
to keep them in good health, even when
supplies are furnished to them at cost
price and meals are made attractive at
! great expense to the canal commission
Chief Engineer Stevens. Of the canal
| commission, Governor MagOon and 9TH
/ er men identified with the work on the
] isthmus have agreed that lack Of lung
! capacity and insufficient nourishment,
rather than laziness are responsible for
4 the inability of the West Indians to
I perform an amount of work equal to
/ that done by white laborers from Spain.
/ The negroes are paid only so cents a
day while the white men from Spain
and Cuba are paid twice that amount
and many of the bosses on the canal
work are Of the opinion that the white
men really do much more than twice
as much as the colored laborers.
The Spaniards have been found to be
thrifty and Clearly in their habits They
take their families TO the isthmus and
maintain homes in which wholesome
conditions prevail and good food is
served. Most of the Spaniards now en-
ployed on the isthmus, went there from
Cuba but they are natives of Spain who

To abandon negro labor, according to
\ the commission would be practically
impossible. But Chairman ShOnts and
other members of the commission feel
that it is unsafe to depend on any one
class of labor and because of the IN
satisfactory results with negro labor,
are not only turning to the Spaniards,
but will proba bly, try Chinese labor Ia
ter as it is not believed that sufficient
Spaniards can be had to meet the de-
mands when the canal work becomes
more advanced.

KEPT TILL SEPTEMBER
City viii Conduct Crematory at Least
Till Then.

The present arrangement of partici-
patton by the city in the management
Of the crematory is likely to continue
until the first of September. A maJori
ty Of the members of the council and
Mayor Davis seem to be inclined to
support this arrangement The mayor
makes no apology for the stand that he
takes. L think We should appoint a
man to oversee everything that is done
at the plant. Keep him there constant
" and see to it that the garbage is
disposed of in sanitary way" said the
mayor. The lease of these people, as
1 understand it. runs to September l.
and I think that for that time at least
the city should handle the garbage at
that point down there and keep tab on
it.
This garbage can be handled in a
sanitary way If the people want to han
die it and the city can arrange to see
that it is done. II some bright wide
awake fellow could come in and handle
this crematory I believe that it could
be managed successfully. If this COM
pany gets out of their present location
/ by September 1, the city should help
them pick out a new site and then con-
tinue to oversee its management
1T will take al least $4,000 to erect
municipal crenatory that is up-to-
date in every particular. If the city
manages it. 1t would have to be as mod
ern as money could make it. I believe
that we should demonstrate beyond a
doubt that we can successfully manage
/ the waterWOrl1s before We load our
selves up with anything new"
I To turn the old Harrison street pump
/ ing station into a crematory is the plan
which DR.. H. B. Hogeboom, city ply
stefan. preached today. He suggested
it to the mayor but the mayor did not
say anything that looked encouraging.
THE city is not doing anything with
] its plant The building could be fixed
over for little expense, a few thousand
dollars The location is desirable 1t
is next to the river and there is plenty
of ground adjacent to it. The main ex-
pense of building, smokestack and site
would be eliminated, said DR. Hoge-
| boom. 4 think that the city could
make money cut of such a plant"
John Abrah ams. attorney for the
Desiccating company, said: Though I
don't know what the disposition of the
members of the firm may be it's a fact
/ that under the law the firm could not
be ousted from the present location be-
fore September /. The lease could not
be taken away before that time. I don t
say that the firm will be obdurate and
/ insist on all their rights under the law
! but if they want to avail themselves of
its provisions that is what they could
do
Assistant City Attorney Ralston will
/ submit to the council this evening the
draft of an ordinance creating the office
of city scavenger. The assistant city
| attorney thinks that the council will not
be able to pass the ordinance this even
ing. That it should be considered at
some length before its final passage

music in the English park below the
grand chateau, adjoining the park or
Alexander palace where the imperiaI
family and General Trepoff reside. A
young man dressed in the clothes of a

resembles General Trepoff, gazed long
and earnestly at the generals face and
then took a photograph from his pocket
to compare it with Kozlov's features. as
if to make sure of his identity. The
man then drew a pistol and fired four
shots point blank at Kozlov who fell
mortally wounded and died on the SPOT
The assassin started to flee. but Prince
Andromiroff seized him and turned him
over to the police who thronged the
park. The crowd shouted Lynch him. -

to police headquarters. When he was
searched Trepof's photograph was
found in his pocket, leaving no doubt
