Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,

Pas Center Street, April 27.
All Berkeley is to be canvassed for
money to furnish the Juvenile room of
the new Carnegie Library. 1t will take
$4,000, and everybody is expected to con-
tribute. Contributors will be provided
with shares of stock in the enterprise
at the rate of 81 each, and the consid-
Grafton will be the free and unlimited
use of the library.
The plan is in the hands of a COM
mittee of public spirited men and
women, who have undertaken to pro-
vide what the treasury of the town
cannot They met last night at the
Town and Gown Club, and after dis
cussion a systematic campaign for
funds was decided upon. School Super
intendent S. D. Waterman presided,
and speeches were made by John Galen
Howard, architect for the new library;
Charles Keeler, Judge G. W. Haight
and Mr.. Waterman. Offers to treasure
the funds came from the First National
and University savings banks.
Briefly the plan is to ask all citizens
to contribute. The canvassers will be
provided with little books containing
shares of stock and these will be sold
at 81 each. Through this method it is
expected that $4,000 will be raised.
The work of the women interested
will be carried on under the direction
of Mrs. j. S. Sanborn, chairman of the

ported by Captain Petersen, went to
the rear. The two officers of the force
took the chances of appearing in the
open before the fire of the negro and
called to him to come to the window
He did so and did not attempt to fire
upon the officers, whom he recognized
The two talked with him for nearly an
hour, and tried to persuade him to
come out and give himself up.
The negro told the police that he
feared the mob outside and that he
feared bodily harm from them.
IF you will give yourself up quietly
I viii see that you are protected"
said Chief Hodgkins.
You can't protect me against the
crowd replied the negro
Il will clear the street of every man
and will takesyou to the hall myself, :"
said the Chief.
They are waiting outside to kill
me-" replied the negro
SO the conversation was carried on.
Anderson was apparently afraid to
come out. He seemed TO think there was
a mob waiting for him, and he doubted
the ability of the officers to protect
him. He repeated this several times
during the parley and he seemed more
afraid Of the crowd than of the police.
During the conversation with Chief
Hodgkins, Anderson told him that he
was badly hurt, that his right leg
panied him and he could hardly walk.
When the body was taken to the
Morgue it was found that the right
leg had been broken by a Winchester
bullet near the thigh.
The result of the conversation was
that Anderson refused to come out. and
the firing began once more. 1t is
claimed that Anderson ended the parley
with a shot, and that it then became
necessary to get the negro, dead or
alive, or take the chance of losing a
good man. The final fusiIlade, which re-
suited in the death of Anderson. oc-
CURED shortly after o'clock this
morning.
The negro had been driven out of the
lower portion of the house. Every win
dow had been broken and the doors
forced in by battering rams and rocks.
and whenever he passed one of the
openings he was fired at by the men
who were watching that portion of the
house. The man, badly wounded, re-
treated into the upper portion of the
house and prepared for his last stand.
Policemen were stationed all around
him, in front and upon all sides. and
his appearance at any of the shattered
easements was the signal for a dozen
shots.
To the rear and slightly to the east
were stationed, In the rear of the Sea-.

man appeared at the rear window for a
moment and Special Moffatt brought
MIN down with shot. Anderson
craWled to the head of the stairs, leav-
ing track of blood. At little, win
dow at the head of the stairs he half
arose. with his big revolver in his hand.
Sergeant Clark was on the roof outside
OF the window, and Anderson fired his
last shot at the police officer. The bull
let went wide. The sergeant fired in
return, and Wilson Anderson fell, NOR
tally wounded. He was not dead, but
passed away at 9:35 o'clock at the Re-
ceiving Hospital.
Nine bullet holes were found in the

was shot in the left heel, the left leg

Plastering has been torn off, furniture

He held his revolvers to the end. One

that he had more than a hundred
rounds of revolver ammunition.
The sister of the dead man told the
Morgue and hospital officials that her
brother had been soldier in one of
the negro regiments, and that when he
was drinking he became imbued with
the idea that people were trying to Kill
him. She also stated that he had been
in the Stockton Insane Asylum for
time.
The house in which Anderson fought

his spinal column severed that he sur
rendered to the police.
The battle that was begun last night
at about O'Clock lasted through the
night and until after o'clock this
morning. At that time the last shot
was fired by Sergeant Clark and An
cerson fell.
Anderson, who was also known as
Joe Smith, had been drinking heavily,
and started to shoot up the little house
in which he lived on Third street Reg
ular Patrolman Jack Sherry and Spe-
cial Policeman Ford tried to arrest
him at about 9 o'clock in the evening,
when Anderson fired at Sherry, the
bullet cutting the policemans coat
sleeve. Anderson retreated into the
house and proceeded to protect himself
against capture with two big navy re-
volvers He did this so effectually that
rome of the policemen, who responded
to the call Of Sherry dared to enter the
house.
Anderson kept within the house,
wandering from room to room, keeping
a careful watch upon the approaches.
When he caught a glimpse of a man,
civilian or officer. within the range of
his revolvers he fired, and the only
wonder was that no one was killed or
wounded.
The police became tired of being fired
It during the night and toward morn
ing erected a barricade in front of the
place. A large truck was moved in
front Of the house and sheets Of heavy
iron flooring placed against the side.
This made an excellent protection, and
during the night it was occupied by
half a dozen policemen armed with
Winchester rifles and revolvers. They
guarded escape from the front and shot
that portion of the house full of holes.
The rear of the place was guarded
by policemen and members of the
force were distributed on adjacent
buildings wherever a shot could be
had at the Gagged negro.
All Of the officers of the police force
were engaged, and Chief of Police
Hodgkins assumed command of the at
tack early in the evening. He was as
sisted by Captains Wilson and Peter

tectives Kyle, Holland and Quigley,
and Patrolmen' Sherry. Cox, Cockerton,
Walters. Thompson, Tillitson, Kentz,
Bert Brown. Kyle, Feeley. Gunther, and
Special Policemen Moffatt. Ford and
Robinson and Deputy Sheriff Cole
The shooting during the night was
desultory. After the trst fusilIade be-
tween Sherry and the negro the police
on the outside kept shooting at every
light that showed. During the night
the negro in the besieged house would
occasionally light matches or a candle.
and every such act would Immediately
be the signal for a volley from the
police on the outside. This would gen
orally be returned in an Intellectual way
from the beleaguered man on the in
side.
Several hundred shots were fired
into the house by the police during the
night, and the riddied condition of the
structure this morning bears evidence
to the severity of the fire.
After o'clock little shooting was
done. When daylight came anfeffort was
made by the police TO get Anderson out
of the house. It was found that he
could not be inyeigled to the front of
