SAN RAFAEL. Sept. 13.-From under
the shadow of a gatling gun tower
Richard Calvert, an is year old con-
Wet. escaped from his task in the rock
quarry at San Quentin today, but to-
night he is back in the confines of the
prison. The moonlight proved his un-
doing. After seven and a half hours
Of freedom Calvert was sighted by
Guards John Manon and william Duffy
on a hill half mile north of the prison
at s:I5 o'clock tonight.
The boy convict was unarmed. When
the guards saw him in the moonlight
break from the cover of brush that had
concealed him they pointed their rifles
at him and commanded him TO halt.
'.All right; you've got me-" Calvert
shouted back.
He was brought to the prison and
will be severely punished. He said
to. Warden Hoyle that he had no plan
for escape, but had acted under mo-
mentary impulse.
The attempted escape was made at
. O'Clock this afternoon. 1t was con-
sidered the most audacious in the his
tory of the prison. Accepting chance
when Guard Frank Clark's eyes were
turned away Calvert dropped into
the roadside ditch and crawled
snake like for 100 feet to the shelter
OF rock pile. Then, keeping close to
the bank that concealed him from the
armed guard on the hill the fugitive
lodged and crawled for 500 feet on the
grass covered slope. making his escape
from the prison grounds through the
cut on the road that runs over the
ridge toward San Rafael.
Clark had 80 men TO guard and did

the most radical of the insurgents, has
been nominated for United States sena-
tor by great plurality, which his
headquarters in this city estimates at
$4,000. Incomplete returns from King
county, the home of Judge Thomas
Burke, Poindexter's principal opponent,
point to a plurality of 1900 for Poin-
dexter. 1t is likely that Poindexter
has carried nearly every county in the
state, for all the returns thus far re-
celVed indicate an insurgent avalanche.
Burke is thought to have carried JEFF
ferson county by $50; and Ashton,
Thurston county by 500.
National interest in the Washington
primary was whetted by the effort
which President Taft made two weeks
ago, through Secretary Ballinger, to
concentrate the opposition of Poindex-
ter upon one regular candidate The
president obtained the withdrawal of
former Senator John L. Wilson Of
Seattle, but James M. Ashton of Ia
coma and Thomas Burke of Seattle in
sisted on remaining in the race and
dividing the regular vote. The ballot

FILMY GARB WON ELECTION.

Women as congressional campaign
managers have demonstrated their use
fitness in the summer time. Political
aspirants are not advised to place their
destinies in the hands of the gentler
sex during the colder months. Mary
Jane Brunson. winsome brunette OF
twenty summers, put Pat" Harrison
in Congress from the Sixth Congress
sonal district of Mississippi, over j. R.
Tally, by !, 299 votes in the second prl-
mary.
Her success in campaign lasting
three months has attracted the atten-
ton of W. A. Dickson, candidate for
Congress in the Seventh district, who
is opposed by Thomas Shelton. This
primary will be decided September q.
Miss Brunson has transferred her cam
paign headquarters from Gulfport to
Brook Haven, and is to receive fee OF
S., 900 if her candidate wins.
The chief assets OF Mary Jane Brun-
son In the Harrison campaign were
open-work hosiery and gauze-like shirt
waists and when she appeared before an
audience in her bewitching and cool
summer garb, the Tally men had to
succumb. Then, too, she had q line
OF argument against trusts, combines,
high tariff and scandals in mighty cir
Giles that was hard to get around.
Certain girl acquaintances assert that
Miss Brunson would never have landed
her man if the campaign had been
fought out during the winter.
