H, T. Clark, the man who is being held for the cold-blooded murder of Policeman Archibald in Van- and who is now lodged in the provincial jail at New West- minster awaiting his trial at the next assizes, is alleged to have made a desperatesattempt at jail delivery last night at 414.45, but was frustrated, after a guard and a jailer had been wounded and Clark himself literally beat- en into submission. By some means Clark, it is sta- ted, had obtained possession of a saw with which he had succeeded in severing two of the bars on the Guard R. P. Day stood in the way of his liberty, however, and, panther like, Glark sprang upon him and rendered him unconscious: with a heavy blow from one of the bars wren- ched from the windows. The guard managed to utter a Westminster, 25— couver, shout of warning before he was cry was heard by the night jailor, Jack McMartin. The latter immediately grappled with the husky Clark who was finally vanquished after a des- perate struggle in the jail corri- dor. Guard Day’s injuries were ser- ious enough to necessitate his removal to the hospital, while the prisoner is also said to have been - badly beaten. The jailer was bruised, but his injuries are not serious. The jail at present holds over 160 prisoners, including many of desperate character, and most of the mwould probably have made a break for liberty had Clark been successful. The attempt is re- garded as one of the most dar- ing and cleverly executed in the history of the institution, An investigation has so far failed to reveal where Clark pro- cured his saw, or whether any other prisoner was involved in the attempted escape. struck and the e BASE INSINUATIONS AS TO - UNFAIR PLAY ARE DENIED THE RESIGNING CITY TREASURER | WwW. D. VANCE, DECLARES HE WAS IN NO WAY INFLUENCED IN LEAVING THE CiViC SERVICE. fl That sly Sherlock of the coun- cil chamber, Alderman Bullock- Webster, has been shown to have followed -onee more the wrong clue. Let him rearrange his choice coliection of city hall thumb prints, restudy his assort- ment of the footmarks of his fel- low city fathers and meditate at length on the folly of trying to appear too wise. He raised at the council meet- ing last Monday an objection to the appointment of Mr. Johnson, the city auditor, to the position of city treasurer, vacated by the retirement of Mr. Vance, and sug- gested that Mr. Vance had been gradually forced out of his posi- tion in Mr. Johnson's favor. His amateur deteetive work, which consists mainly in seeing moun- tains in molehills and always suspecting some hidden and un- of the present administration, must have proved as unaccept- able to Mr. Vance as to Mr. John- son. The following letter gives Mr. Vance’s comment on the sub- jeet: City Hall, August 27th, 194 The Editor The Daily News. Dear Sir: With reference to the discussion in council and newspaper reports in connection with my resignation as city treas- urer, I wish to say in all fairness to all concerned that I resigned of my own free will, owing to personal business arrangements, and that I was absolutely in no way influenced.

Chicago, Aug, 28—The police- women’s garb and the suffrag- dress are the latest in fash- ion’s creations, Slashed — skirts, surely. And pateh pockets, too, They're mighty mannish, but the designers say the “lady coppers” must have them slashed, and with considerable slash, Else how can they pursue and arrest the flirtatious male or the clever virl crook whose slashed drapery gives her freedom of limbs for rapid “get-aways’’? they ask. But there is the “rub.” How can a woman, who must censor, the morals of others, wear such a risque gown? “I'm not quite sure about that slash,"’ said Mrs, Mary Boyd, one of the policewomen of the Sha- kespeare avenue station. ve seems necessary, but will the public stand for it?” Mrs, Boyd knows all about the slashed skirts and seanty garbs, ists’ for one of her duties has been censoring the costumes of bath- ers at the Fourteenth St. bathing beach, Mrs. Boyd and possibly all the other “lady coppers” are going to view the uniform the designers have recommended for them, It will be shown Tuesday night at the annual style show of the Chi- cago dressmakers, The uniform is made of blue serge with a brown buff colored athletic vest. The skirt has a large pocket and the coat has two of them . They are large enough to hold the old-style “forty-four” and will completely conceal the modern automatic pistol of large calibre, The suffragist’s dress is simi- lar, except for the helmet hat, the revolver and the shining star. [It was not believed possible ta build a pocket on a skirt without spoiling the symmetry of the fig- ure, but the local designers be- lieve they have overcome this drawback and predict much pop- ularily for the suffragist gown.
