He Quarrels With His Wife and Dies of Poisoning at Hospital Mystery surrounds the death of Martin Johnson, a lodging-house keeper a¢ 72| Jackson street, last evening. The man was found in a dying condition on a roof | in the rear of the house and died from | some sort of poison soon afterward at | the Harbor Emergency Hospital. | Mrs. Johnson, wife of the deceased, was | the last person with Johnson before he | was found dying. Her statement is that | he fired four shots at her and that she | does not know what happened afterward. | The revolver from which the shots were fired has not been found by the police, | nor has the bottle from which the poison | was drunk, although a search was mace | for them by Detectives Bell and Arm- | strong. The woman produced for the offi- | cers a cork that came from a carbolic | acid bottle, but the surgeons at the hos- pital say that such acid did not produce { death. There has been a great deal of trouble in the Johnson family for a number of years. The principal cause of discord seems to | have.been jealousy., Johnson accusing his | wife of paying attention to other men and she, in turn, upbraiding him for keeping | company with other women. | MAKES HIS WILL. Yesterday Johnson made his will. He gave the bulk of his property, including | the lodging-house, to his eight-year-old | | Bon_ and about $1500 to his Gaughters and | | 2 woman in Norway. This will was found | | in his possession after he had died, and ] | gives rise to a theory that he was ex- | | pecting death at an early period, Mrs. | | Johnson says that the property her hus- | { band distributed is hers «nd shall never | £0 ta the women named in the will. The | | last quarrel the couple had may have | | been concerning this document. | | Policemen Edner and Smith were called | | to 7 Jackson street about 10 o’clock. | When they arrived they found Johnson | on the roof, scarcely conscious. He stated | | that he haa fired some shots at his wife, | but that the pistol had beéen loaded with | Tlank cartridges. Mrs. Johnson came in- | to the room soon after the policemen and | | told her story, which is, in brief, as fol- | | lows | "My husband was away most of the | 2fternoon_and came home drunk about 6 o'clock. We quarreled frequently during the evening and he finally struck me, knocking me to the floor. When I arose he advanced in my direction and fired four shots at me, holding the revolver close to my face. I protected my head with my hands as much as possible and made my escape from the room as soon | as possible. My face stung from where the powder had burned me and 1 went in- | to an adjoining house for treatment. | When I returned the policemen were | there.” DIES AT HOSPITAL. The officers arrested Johnson on a | charge of drunkenness and took him to | the Harbor station. Mrs. Johnson ac- | companied him, although she said she wished to make no further complaint. Johnson’s queer condition aroused sus- picion, and his wife was the first to sug | gest that he had taken poison. He was | immediately removed to the hospital, | died i one except a housekeeper for ‘Mrs. ‘ | Johnson heard the shots, and the detec- tives were unable to find trace of the re- volver. Why he should have used blank | | cartridges if he contemplated taking own life is another question that cannot | easily be answered. | | “Mrs, Johnson's face bears the mark of | but one powder burn, and that near the eves. Had he fired as she described her features and hands would have been hor- | ribly burned. i What became of the poison bottle and the character of poison used form an- other part of the mystery.

' Declares Water Committee Was Used for Personal Ends of Chairman. e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July L Into the fire caused by R. H. Chamber~ lain’s denunciation of Mayor Anson Bar- stow and the Mayor's secretary anent the committee of five's dismissal Secre- tary Robert F. Jackson has cast a few brands. He says it is only a case of a disappointed seeker for public office, with a bee now buzzing f6r preferment, that has precipitated a political ping-ponging. Mr. Jackson explains the Chamberlain charges that the committee, including John L. Howard, Sol Kahn, Warren Ol- ney, James P, Taylor and Chairman Chamberlain, would have their personal and financial records assailed if they con- tinued to demand that the Council vote on an ordinance to provide funds for the committee. The secretary declares those threats did not originate with him. He ‘Concerning the matter of threats, I only quoted words which were used when I went to see certain people in the_hope of adjusting the matteér of funds. With- out naming here the person who made the remark, 1 will say that the statement was made that if the committee persisted in jamming the Mayor into asking the Council for money there would be jam-~ ]mlng of the committee right down the ine. “The trouble with Chamberlain is that e | he was doing politics with this commit- tee. Mayor Barstow discovered that and simply dissolved the committee. Cham- berlain is a political mountebank. He was a municipal leaguer until last year, when he bolted because certain people got con- trol for personal and selfish ends. He became a Republican, and now he is back ig the leaguers’ fold again. “Chamberlain was offered the pesition of Councilman last year when two va- cancies existed, but he declined, saying 't care to sit with the men them in the Council. My belief Is that if Mayor Barstow had named him instead of Cad- man to fill Bon's place this abuse would not have seen the light of day. Chamber- lain wants to be Mayor. “I tried to get the money from the Council for the committee, but the pow- ers that be decided otherwise. Every- thing was done that could be done to prevent a fight. Mayor Barstow did not want _his recommendation turned down by the Council, and that was why I asked Councilman’ Wallace, who had the ordi- nance, to wait a day before introducing it In order that I might try to get the appropriation ordered. “Chamberlain was told that the Mayor would start a public subseription to raise funds. I told him the Mayor was much disappointed at_the persistence of the de- mand for the Couneil to act on the ordi- nance, because he belleved Chamberlain was doing_it for political effect. Desir- ing to be Mayor, Chamberlain is“playing the popular_key, Contra Costa Water Company. My experience has been that when Oakland gets rid of such sentimen- tal men who are playing on the preju- dices of the people, then the city will go ahead. “Chamberlain insisted and kept on in- sisting_that nothing could be done by his committee unless funds were avail- | able, and he demanded that the Mayor | should go to the Council for the money. After I had found that those in control would under no circumstances stand for the ordinance, I told Chamberlain so, but he would not have anything but action by the Council. “Mayor Barstow dissolved the commit- tee of five simply because Chairman Chamberlain seemed to be working on political lines, and was accused of it be- fore the committee was _discharged. Chamberlain was beaten at his own game. It was hard for him to take his punishment. It broke him all up and his traducing of the Mayor is the result. “Feeling that the Mayor has been un- warrantedly abused and knowing he is not doing politics and is not seeking of- fice, I feel that I should make this state- ment in his behalf because of his absence from the city.” Before the committee was discharged the members made a request to the com- mittee on bond issue, headed by M. Keller, that the latter’s report should be delayed until September, when the Water Committee exvected to complete its la- bors. In concluding its letter the Water Committee wrote: ‘“We express the opinion that the sue- cess of the various proposed public un- dertakings, which have been considered by both these committees, will be greatly prompted ‘by such delay, and we do not believe that the prospects of any of them will be adversely affected thereby.” Woodmen Hold Installation.
