SPECIAL DIsPArCH 10 THE CALL.

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-Through the
publicity attending the mysterious
death of his brother, DR.. Philip Ed
wards Johnson, in Portland. Or, a few
days ago it developed today that Rev
James lie Baron Johnson, once an Epis-
copal clergyman and for several years
curate in Grace Church in this city
then a IRE chaplain and subsequently
a figure in the public eye because OF a
sensational elopement in which he was
one OF the principals, has reached an
other stage in a career OF vicissitude By
becoming an automobile agent. He is
employed by an electric vehicle com
pany in upper Broadway, but on ac-
count of illness has not been able TO
work since a day or two after Christ
mas and his condition is so serious that
he does not seem to realize the fate
that has befallen his brother.
In his secluded little home in Hack
ensack, n. J.. he is confined to his bed
suffering from two Assesses of the
head, the result of which cannot yet be
foretold by his physician. In an ad-

PORTLAND, jan 9--The police late
today arrested two japanese on sus-
picion of having killed DIR. Philip Ed

their names as Mona Sack and Mona

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. s.-Lieuten-
ant General Vladimir Pavloff. the
military procurator,s or advocate gem
eral, known since the days of the late
Parliament as "Hangman Pavloff, -
from the epithet being constantly APP
piled TO him by the Radical Deputies,
was shot and killed at 10 o'clock this
morning while walking in the garden
of the chief military court building
near the Moika canal. The assassin,
who was disguised as a workman, was
captured after q long chase through
the crowded city streets, during which
he fired about forty shots from two
revolvers which he carried. killing a
policeman and wounding a small boy.
The crime was executed deliberately,
and showed evidence of the same care
full preparation which was character
tistic of the murders of Generals Ig-
natieff and Won der Launitz. and I'M
doubtedly was carried out by the same
organization, which, 1t is reported, has
sentenced Emperor, Nicholas and sew
eral of the Ministers to death
The assassin, who wore the uniform
of a military clerk attached to the
court. succeeded in obtaining entrance
to the garden under the pretext of SUBJ
curator. He approached the general,
and when within arms length drew
an automatic pistol and discharged
seven shots into Pavloff's body.
After serving several years as military
judge, Pavloff was appointed judge
advocate general of the War Ministry,
and later procurator of the Supreme
Military Court, He sprang into ma
tional prominence when delegated to
arrest interpretations of the Govern
ment in the lower house of Parliament
in regard to the executions in the
Baltic province and Poland. He justi-
fed these with such cold-bloodedness
and disregard of the sentiments of
members that 1t aroused the indigna-
ton of almost the entire House. and
he was driven from the rostrum with
cries of murderer" and assassin"
When the general next appeared in the
lower House he was not allowed to
speak. and was threatened with vio-
lence.

NEW COMMAND FOR
GENERAL WOOD

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-It is ex-
pected in the War Department that
Major General Wood will be relieved
from command of the Division of the
Philippines March | and receive COM
mand in this country, probably the
Division of the East, which is con-
sidered the most important in the
army. 1t is also thought the Presi-
dent would like 10 have him here
to assist in the Cuban situation, with
which Major Wood is thoroughly ia
miliar. General James F. Wade, now
in command Of that division, will retire
early in April and II Is believed Gem
eral Wood will succeed him, unless
Lieutenant General Macarthur, now
commanding the Pacific station. should
desire the place for himself.
