OAKLAND, Aug. Il nomaS w. COOK,
who was beaten by thugs and robbed Of
$3.50 at Fruitvale a week ago last Satur-
day night died this morning at $50
o'clock at the Alameda Sanitarium from
the effects of the brutal attack. John
Schneider and George w. Blaker, who are
in custody, will be charged with the muir
der of Cook.
Dr. j. H. Callen, who had charge of
the case was with the patient night and
day, but the case was hopeless.
An autopsy held this afternoon at the
Morgue in Alameda disclosed clearly the
fatal nature of the wounds. The force
used had fractured the entire front of the
head. A large break extending from the
left side of the skull above the ear across
the forehead and nearly to the right ear
was uncovered at the post-mortem exam
ination. An extensive blood clot on the
brain was revealed. having formed from
the lesion to numerous vessels in the
BRAIN
The injuries were such as to indicate
that The blows inflicted were from blunt
instrument and were numerous and of
much force The autopsy report will be
a vital portion of the evidence in the case.
During a few lucid moments several
days ago Cook indicated to DR.. Callen
very strongly that Schneider and Blaker
were his assailants. Whether his condi-
ton was such as will permit the use of
his f1eeting statements in court is a
question the authorities have in hand.
SUSPECTS WILL BE CHARGED.
AS soon as Sheriff Barnet was notified
Of Cooks death he went into confer
ence with District Attorney Allen. The
decision was reached that Blaker and
Schneider should be charged with muir
der. The formal accusation will be
ma m nd ait ha Shariff
or Cooks brother, Frank Cook, will
swear to the complaint. James Crow
hurst and Percy Pembroke, two sus-
poets also held by Sheriff Barnet, will
be detained pending further develop
ments. Both have confessed to hav-

Berkeley has employed Attorney A. L.
Frick to defend his son. During the

Crowhurst. saying:
"Crowhurst is the worst I ever saw.
He had an old broken pistol which he
used part of the time in his work and
said that he did not care whether it
would shoot or not so long as he could
scare people into giving him money.
Why, he said he would use a monkey
wrench.
When he wanted to tell us about
some job he was going to do and any
one was around he used TO say Well, I
am going to collect that bill tonight
or That fellow is going to pay me to-
night He used to say that he had peo-
pie working for him and he has pro-
posed to me many times that we go out

TIE HoUsE AND TIE Navy

In voting to sustain the Administrations naval
policy the House of Representatives has shown
true craftsmanship and breadth of judgment
More than that, il has exhibited a highly com
mendable spirit Of self-denial. It has been evil
dent for some time that the House would have
TO choose between abandoning its Public Build
ings bill-a measure especially dear to the heart
Of the average legiSlator-and sacrificing In
part our carefully matured programme of naval
expansion. Pressure for the passage Of a Pub
lie Buildings bill at this session has been un-
usually persistent, for in recent years no gen.
eral distribution Of prize packages Of this sort
has been celebrated. Many members interested
in river and harbor improvements have also
taken alarm, for an acceptance Of the Naval
Committees recommendations has seemed 10
them to make the passage of River and Har-
Dor bill extremely doubtful. Yet In spite OF the
keen desire of so many Representatives to save
something out Of the wreck of so-called pork
barrel" legislation for their deserving con-
sntuencieS, the House acquiesced broadmind-
edly in the committees demand for two new
battleships. It subordinated personal interest
in local Improvement schemes to what it knew
10 be broader and more patriotic view of pub
lie duty.
1t would have been a misfortune, indeed, If
the popular branch had been stampeded by
false cry Of economy into neglecting and
sighting the navy. Our present programme Of
naval development is based on recognized ma
tOnaI needs. II is the fruit OF many years of
patriotic effort. It has had the earnest approval
Of both the great political parties. 1t has given
US a naval establishment of which we are just
" prOud-one in measure adequate TO our
rank and dignity as a nation But 1t would be
q fatal mistake TO think that we can rest on
what we have accomplished and can begin to
trife with plans worked out in advance with
So much thoroughness. To suspend work for
year or two, TO skimp little here and drop
out one or more connecting links there, would
prevent all orderly and harmonious growth and
disarrange our whole scheme Of naval prog
ress.
In the face of a S20,OO0OO0 deficit this year
and an even larger prospective deficit next
year wholesale naval authorizations are, OF
course, not to be thought Of. But the Houses
decision TO add two new battleships to the feet
cannot be criticised on the ground OF e1traYa-
gance Our present naval expenditure-about
S100.00O,O00 q year-coverS work on shlps au-
thoriZed by other Congresses at rate much
greater than two q year. Last year alone
eleven battleships and arnored cruisers were
launched The nucleus of the new navy we had
To create is thus already afoat. and the yearly
additions needed from now on will involve no
such vast expenditure as that OF 1902 1903 1904
or 1905. The House in voting two new battle
ships made only suitable and sensible provision
for the future 1t stood up squarely and man
fully for a policy which the nation supports
,,ni+edIv-tbe policy of creating and maintain
ing n navy adequate in every way to nauonal
needs.

FROZEN HYDRA-ETS.
needs.

In fighting a fire In a Greenwich-st factory
Yesterday Chief Croker encountered dlfhculnes
which are exceedingly discreditable to the great
est city in America. Access to the hydrants was
occasionally hindered by an accumulation OF
snow in their vicinity, and when they were
finally reached many Of them were clogged with
ice Owing to the delay thus caused in getting
the flames under control the damage TO property
was much greater than IL would have been other
wise. and adjacent tenement houses were threat
ened with destruction. Had these buildings
also taken FIRE, especially at night number OF
lives might have been lost. If this freezing OF
hydrants had been observed yesterday for the
first time there might be some excuse for it,
That it should be q common experience, as Chief
Croker says it is. is little less than disgrace
TO the metropolis.
The immediate responsibility for the trouble
apparently rests on that department Of the city
government which has charge OF the water sup
ply. If the hydrants IN certain parts Of the city
were OF less antiquated type they would be
less liable 10 clog. just how much 1t would cost
to replace them with suitable hydrants we are
unable TO say, but the taxes on property which
would be protected by the change might REIN
burse the city for the outlay in a few years
The next best thing to putting in new hydrants
is inspecting the old ones after every severe
cold wave visits the city. Either the Fire De-
partment or the Water Department should pro-
vide for such scrutiny.
From Brooklyn, where as much inconvenience
has been felt as in the Borough of Manhattan
there comes an admirable suggestion Deputy
