larceny suspect, made good his escape
from 957 Fifty-seventh street, although
the detectives fired six shots at him

searched him for concealed weapons.
Palmer then asked permission to speak
to daughter of Mrs. Baker,, stepped
into an adjoining room and slammed
the door. which was secured with a
spring lock.
Palmer went out by the rear door
and over a back fence while the two
detectives ran around by the front. Then
the chase began, the firing of shots
drawing a crowd of pursuers.
McSorley shot twice into the ground,
then once at the fugitive's legs. Flynn
fired over Palmer's head and shot the
third time directly at the mans body.
That ball missed the mark, but when
McSorley shot the third time Palmer
stopped and placed one hand on the

but did not stop running He led the
crowd from Fifty-seventh street to
Sixtieth along Adeline and then dis

EDUCATION BOARD
WELCOMES BUNKER
New Superintendent of Schools
Expresses Satisfaction With
Prospect in Berkeley

BERKELEY, July g. Frank F,
Bunker, who succeeded S. D. Water
man as superintendent of schools, was
formally Introduced to the members
of the board of education and business
men of this city today. Bunker is en-
thusiastic over his new field of en-
deavor in this city and declared today
that he believes the schools Of Berkeley
can be made second to none on the
coast and that, working in conjunc-
tion with the University of California,
they can be made such a model of
school efficiency as will be an exam
pie to other municipalities.
Il see in Berkeley a wide opportunity
in educational work" said Bunker.
'The field is an inviting one and holds
out much in the way of possibilities of
development. Had this not been the
case 1 would not have resigned my po-
sition in the south.
IT do not intend to introduce any
revolutionary ideas into the school de-
partment. Evolution is always bet
ter than revolution. But 1 am certain
if the people stand by the schools
and cooperate with the superintendent
and the board of education we shall be
able not only to maintain the schools
in their present rate of high efficiency,
but to put them in a position where
they will take the leadership in Cali
eOrnia"
