ALD’S MURDERER MAKES

TERRIFIC EFFORT FOR LIBERTY

KNOCKS OUT THE QUARD AND HAS A TOUGH TUSSLE WITH
THE NIGHT JAILER—INJURED GUARD RE-
MOVED TO HOSPITAL

New Aug.
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 Day’s injuries were ser-

removal to the hospital, while the

The jail at present holds over

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:

urer, I wish to say in all fairness

way influenced.

able space and trusting that this

ing that seems to exist, I am

CHICAGO'S NEW CROOK CATCHERS

POLICEMEN HAVE TO ADOPT PROGRESSIVE GARB TO CATCH
GIRL CROOKS IN SLASHED ATTIRE AND MALE
MASHERS

Man wants but little here below,
But when it eomes to dress,

A walk abroad will quickly show
That woman wants still less.
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.
