FUGITIVE GOES TO
CELL IN DESPAIR
Weary of Wandering and Hid
ing, Fleeing Forger Gives
Up to the Police

After wandering over the country a
fugitive from justice, Paul Clifford
Harrison, who was brought to this city
yesterday by Sergeant Edward M.
FGarrette of the New York police, was
driven by hunger and despair of possi-
bic escape to surrender himself to the
Tacoma police.
Have you heard anything Of this
fellow Harrison?" he asked as he
walked into the city prison of Tacoma
to visit Chief Maloney
I'VE know that he is in this vicinity
Maloney replied, "and we are on his
trail. but we have not yet set eyes on
him.
What sort of accommodations have
you here?' Harrison further aueried.
Better than the ordinary prison
fare" the chief replied.
Then you can have me. 1 am Har-
rison, the man you are seeking
This is the story told yesterday. Har-
rison was brought to this city and is
locked in the cells of the city prison
awaiting to be taken back to New York.
Harrison was the cashier of the Lloyd
manufacturing company, and after
cashing check payable to his company
for 1891, left New York with the funds.
the president of the Iron steamship
company. which controls the steamer
trade between the metropolis and Coney
island.
The day after Harrison decamped his
wife gave birth to child, and she was
forced through her distress, to sacrifice
her new born infant to obtain the
necessities of life and to maintain her
other children.
Harrison has had hard time of it
since he left New York. While he was
in Chicago on his way to the west
he fell in with a gang of thieves who
robbed him of $3.50. He then made for
the northwest. A letter ersforwarded from
Tacoma to his wife was intercepted at
the postoffice by Garrette, and the
young detective was on his way to
Tacoma to arrest him when the fugitive
was driven by despair to surrender
himself to the police.
Garrette is staying at the Hotel
Stewart, and will remain here awaiting
instructions from New York.

BAY CITIES TO BE MECCA
Thousands of Visitors Expected
First Week i'm Nav

Reports coming in from all parts
OF the country to the headquarters of
the fleet committee show that San
Francisco during the early part of May
is going to be the mecca for thou
sands of persons
While San Francisco's hotel facili-
ties are almost back to the normal of
two years ago, such vast influx of
persons will overtax the hostelries. and
1t will be necessary for the people of
the city to assist in caring for the
thousands of visitors. The official COM
mittee for the reception of the fleet
has lnaugurated series of informa-
ton bureaus where rooms which will
be available during the period when
the city will be full of strangers may
be registered. The object of having
these information bureaus is to enable
the visiting stranger to register on ar
rival and be assigned room, so that
every one who comes to San Fran
cisco may go away pleased not only
with what he sees here, but also with
the hospitality of the people and the
ease with which any number may be
accommodated.
There are hundreds of persons in
the cities about the bay who will be
able to accommodate one or more
strangers for the few weeks that the
city will be crowded, and it is desired
that all who can do so send their
names and addresses to the secretary
of the official committee for the recep-
tion of the fleet at headquarters in
California building, Union square The
statements should give the number of
persons that can be accommodated
and the price.

Six to Be Arrested Today for
Watering Product and Neg
Iecting Sanitation

Six more milkmen, whose theories
on sanitation are of dubious merit, will
be arrested today and brought before
the police court on complaints sworn
to yesterday by Attorney Louis Fer
rari, special prosecutor for the Califor-
of which the campaign for pure milk
has been conducted with such vigor
since last January. In each instance
charges of selling adulterated milk
have been preferred against them.
The accused milkmen, for whom war
rants have been issued are J. Reich
mutt, L. Miller, B. Cassou, C. N. John
son, G. Mendott and the firm of Witt
Brothers. All are first offenders save
Mendott, who was arrested last month
and released by Judge Shortall. Two
charges have been preferred by Fer
rari against Reichmutt. Today. also,
the case of Frank Marty, who was ar
rested some time ago for the same of
fense, will be tried before Judge
Shortall.
Marty, it is said, sold milk that was
SO per cent water, but the offenses of
the six who will be arrested today are
not fragrant violations of the law
Figures showing the number of vio-
lations of the milk ordinance found
by inspectors of the board of health
during February, compiled by Chemist
c. w. Beaver yesterday, show that out
of 134 tests only II samples of bad milk
were found That is little more than
z per cent. In January, when the Cali
fornia club first began the crusade for
sanitary conditions, 26 per cent of all
samples tested were adulterated Ac-
cordfng to Beaver practically all the
milk sold at present is pure.
Not content, however, with stopping
adulteration. the board of health will
go one step farther and examine wells
and sources of water supply on every
dairy ranch in San Francisco county
Yesterday the work of securing samples
of the water for analysis was begun
inspectors will also make reports on
the condition of the wells and land
near where the water is taken.
In some instances" said Beaver, I'VE
have found wells in the center of cow
yards, where the water used in rinsing
cans-and sometimes in watering the
milk, even-was directly contaminated
with manure. This must STOP

hour attempt by j. Dalzell Brown to

The securities were left for examina-
ton, and about l o'clock Brown re-
turned for his answer. He was told ne
could not have the money. He begged
the officials of the First national to re-
consider their decision.
We need that money by o'clock to
make a deposit at the Anglo-Califor-
nian bank. otherwise our checks will be
returned" he told Lynch. according to
the latter's testimony yesterday Brown
was so urgent in his requests that the
First national bank people took his ap-
plication under further consideration.
But even while they were debating that
matter clerk of the California safe
deposit and trust company entered the
room and announced that the checks
had already been returned.
Its all over" said Brown, with a
gesture of resignation, and he went out.

CLERGY CRIES OUT FOR
LAWS AGAINST SALOON
Two Hundred Ministers of the
Gospel Discuss Question of
License at Mass Meeting

Two hundred clergymen of all de
nominations gathered yesterday in
Wesley Methodist church to discuss the
liquor license question. II. j. Mccoy,
secretary of the Young Mems Christian
association, presided. The speakers in
cluded Rev. E. R. Ollie of the Central
Methodist Episcopal church, Father
Terence Caraher of ST. Francis church,
Rev. William RAIDER of Calvary Pres
byterian church and Father Philip
Organ.
This matter of the saloon cries out
for legislation said DIR. Ollie, for
the taint is spreading appallingly
among men and women in all conditions
of life. The more people we are able
to interest in this matter the better,
for this is a question which strikes
home"
Father Caraher spoke eloquently of
the objections to the saloon.
If you succeed in regulating the sa-
loon,' he said, you will regulate some
tremendous degradations at the same
time"
DIR. RAIDER viewed the subject in the
light of economies and Father O'Ryan
urged that steps be taken to protect
the young men of the city.
The drink demon turks in hundreds
of unsupported places in our city,, said
Father Organ. Young men If left to
themselves, as rule, show little in
clination for this form of dissipation,
but the imnossibility of obtaining
amusement without being dragged into
some form of the drink habit snares
them before they realize its power

four speakers were appointed a COM
mittee TO represent the gathering at the
meeting of the license committee of

WALKING FOR HEALTH.
Man and Wife, Aged go and AZ Years,
on a Long Tramp.

Portland, Me-, May 2S.-Few people
at the age of 60 years would have the
courage to attempt to walk from Bos-
ton to Portland but this is just what
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Morrison
have done They are not content with
this 10O-mile walk, however, but start
ed today to walk to Bridgton and af-
ter a stay there for few days they
will start on trip through the White
Mountains and back to West Lynn,
Mass, where they make their home.
While many men have walked twice
this distance there has never been an
other woman who ever walked from
Massachusetts, to Maine and when 1t
is taken into consideration that Mr..
Morrison is so years of age and that
his. wife is only three years younger
their trip is all the more remarkable.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrison are taking
this walk for the sport of it and for
Mr.. Morrson's health. They are not
trying to break Weston's time and are
enjoying the scenery and all the pleas
ures of a pedestrian when taking long
hikes. Mr.. Morrison is the proprietor
of large periodical store in West
Lynn and a few weeks ago he was ad-
vised by a physician to get more ex-
ercise in the open air. Taking the ply
sician's advice, he and Mrs. Morri-
son began to walk daily about West
Lynn and most every day would walk
from II to 20 miles.
Mr.. Morrison suggested that they
walk to Portland and Mrs. Morrison
said that she would like very much to
make the trip and was willing to
start anytime. Mr.. Morrison made his
preparations and three weeks ago last
Monday he and his wife started on
their long tramp to Portland from
West Lynn.
