Former Justice Charles X. Fox of the
Supreme Court of California, was
stricken with paralysis about 5 o'clock
yesterday morning at his home, 1057
Market street. Dr. A. K. Crawford,
who was called in to attend the Jurist,
entertains little hope for his • recovery.
Judge Fox has been slowly sinking
sinc« he was stricken and it is thought
the end will come within twenty-four
hours.
Charles N. Fox came to California in
1858. having' been admitted to the bar
of the Supreme Court of Michigan dur
ing the previous year. For more than
twenty-five years he practiced law In
San Francisco, during which time he
served' as general attorney - for the
Spring Valley Water Company of San
Francisco. In 18S9 he received a com
mission as Justice ¦ of * the Supreme
•Court of the . State from Governor
Waterman, being appointed to fill out
the unexpired term of Jackson Temple,
who had resigned.
Judsr. Fox is a prominent member of
the Odd Fellows of California, and has

Special Correspondence cf The CalL
APIA, Samoan Ir lands, April 9. —
Far removed from the -urglvg of the
political waves of larger seas, Sa
znoans, foreign and native, content or
disturb themselves with the rule and
ruling of their own limited horizon. To
the foreign residents Governor Solf so
far has been satisfactory. He caused
the native people to piant at least
1,000,000 cocoanut trees during: German
occupation, arid" these trees will within
a few years be in full bearing, adding
about 50 per cent to the native copra
crop. Under other inspiration the na
tives are planting cacao and the Gov
ernor is encouraging- the movement.
Evidently, despite many difficulties,
Samoa -Is advancing. Freight rates
from San Francisco' practically pro
hibit trade, so few orders go to that
port, while, business with the colonies
is prospering. It is generally believed
that the interests of a single German
rirm are too closely considered, but
that the ' orders : for' the extension of
favor comes directly, from Berlin and
that the Governor is powerless to coun
teract it. :;^W&&&2&SBS&lm38BBBte

ALAMEDA, April 2S.— Four persons
attacked and beaten in three nights is
the record of "Jack the Swatter" up to
date. Women and children are the
favored prey of the nocturnal ruffian.
He began his reign of terror Sunday
night by waylaying and cruelly strik
ing Mrs. W. F. Burns at the corner of
Everett street and Santa Clara ave
nue and followed this assault an hour
and a half later by attacking and sav
agely beating Johanna Holmberg at
the corneAof San Jose avenue and Re
gent street. The next to suffer at his
hands was 6-year-old Edwin Cooley,
whose features were disfigured by un
merciful blows, while the little lad was
proceeding along Alameda avenue,
near Walnut street, Monday evening.
Stanley Sturm, 14 years of age, and
the fourth victim of the mysterious
"swatter," In relating to-day his en
counter last night with the elusive as

ALAMEDA. Acril *?.— Through the
publicity given in The Call to -th«
strange disappearance of Albert Bohl
man from this city, his wife. Mr;. 7ii
lie Bohlman, whom he* left in destltxzie
circumstances and with twin sons but
14 months of age to care for, baa heard
from her missing husband.
To-day the young wife and mother
received a letter from her missing
spouse, written from Los Angeles, in
which he asserts that he has been a
victim of pleurisy of the heart for ni=*
weeks and was unable to communicate
with her. Bohlman did not state is the
epistle whether he waa in a hospital or
not, neither did he give his address.
He assures his wife in the letter that
he will see her soon if he is able.
In the meantime Mrs. Bohlmas ar.-i
her Infant sons are being cared for by
the Catholic Ladies* Aid Society and
Mrs. X. Olson d 2403 Lincoln avenue.
She does not Intend to go to Los An
geles in search of her husband, as she
fears ghe would not find 'him there.
Bohlman and his family came - here
from San Jose, where his career was
checkered and sensational. He was a
member of the Livery Stablemen's Un
ion, and because of bis ability was
elected a delegate to the Federated
Trades and also treasurer of the latter
body. One- night three months ago he
was discovered lying- on a sidewalk in
the Garden City with a bullet wound In
his hip. He told a story of a hold-up
and said that $240 which had been in
his possession and which belonged to
the Federated Trades had been taken
by the footjjads. An investigation of
the affair- satisfied the authorities th*t
Bohlman had inflicted the gunshot id-
Jury upon himself and "that he had
probably lost the money, in gambling.
To avoid scandal the Federated Trades
decided not to prosecute, but they.ex

The Board of Education will meet
Saturday to canvass the returns from
the schopl bond election and to certify
ihe required facts to the Board of Su
pervisors, which will issue the call for
biij»° for the pale of the bond*. It is
the sense cf the Board of Education
that the first call will be for sufficient
mosey: estimated $150,000. to build a
new Franklin school in East Oakland
and to purchase, possibly, af new site
or two. Recommendations touching
the desire of the board will be made to
the Board of Supervisor*; after the re
turns have been canvassed.
The verdict was unanimous, being
signed by the following jurors: C. H.
Griffith, foreman; Charles Hayes. C.
M. Richardson, Philip V. W. Fry, H. H.
KJrby, C. M. Keep. C. E. Lambing.
That her sen had been, crazed by
drink and was on the verge of delirium
tremens, Monday and Tuesday, was
the testimony of , Anderson'3 mother,
Mrs. J. N. Anderson. She had known
that he had been confined for nineteen
days in the State Hospital at Stock
ton while suffering from the effects of
heavy drinking-. Samuel Mellust, who
occupied rcoms in the Third -street
place, testified concerning Anderson's
pistol shooting and of his insane no
tions that he was to be lynched; that
men were pursuing him. Dr. O. D.
Hamlin gave evidence concerning the
wounds in Anderson's body.
Policeman Sherry and Special Police
man Charles T. Ford recounted their
experiences with Anderson when he
shot at them after they had been sent
to the house. Sergeant of Police Charles
E. Clark explained to the jury what
occurred when he shot at- Anderson
through the window in the place where
he saw the negro— aiming a pistol at
him. Anderson dropped, and it is sup
posed Clark's bullet was the fatal one.
Immediately a fterward policemen en
tered the bombarded house and took
the dying negro.
Members of the Salvation Army took
charge of the funeral of Anderson,
which was held this afternoon at Moun
tain View Cemetery, where the body
was interrefi. The expense was borne
by the county, because of the mother's
straitened circumstances.
A Coroner's Jury to-night heard evi
dence in the case of Henry Wilson
Anderson, the negro who was killed
yesterday morning by policemen at 460
Third street, and rendered the follow
ing verdict:
"We find that death was caused by
gunshot wounds in the neck and chest
inflicted by members of the' Police De
partment of the City of Oakland at
4€0 Third street, Oakland, while in the
discharge of their duty they were at
tempting to .take .said. Anderson, and
we find that said shooting was justi
fiable and commendable upon the part
of -said officers."

Theiiorse of Governor' George C. Par-J
dee, at Eleventh and Castro : streets*
was released to-day from, a mortgage
which covers generally 'the estate of
the State's chief executive. Since 1902
the Oakland. Bank of Savings has held
Governor Pardee's note for $117,500,
which was secured by a blanket mort
gage over his entire property. The re
lease filed to-day, however, only affects
the old Pardee home, the more valu
able pieces being still subject to the un
satisfled portion of the note.
It is stated that the Governor had
some sentiment about having a mort
gage on the homestead, and for that
reason arranged for the release of this
part of his property. •.".-*'
¦ The holdings originally covered by
the mortgage consisted of improved
realty on San Pablo avenue, near Six
teenth street, a piece on Telegraph ave
nue near Fifteenth street, improved
property at Fourth and Folsom streets,
in San Francisco, and the Pardee home
stead.
