.FRUITvALE SCHOOL
BONDS REJECTED
First National Bank Refuses to
Accept the 100000
Issue
Claim Is Made That Error Was
Made in the Call for the
Election

OAKLAND, Oct. 26-The manage
ment of the First national bank has
notified the board of supervisors of it's
final declination to accept the Fruitvale
school bond issue of $780, 900, recently
awarded that institution on a competi-
tive bid. Defects were alleged in the
form of the call for the bond election,
which would, in the opinion of the
banks attorneys, invalidate the issue
and which would permit any tax payer
to stop the whole issue by injunction
proceedings The return of the certi-
fed check deposited at the time was
asked.
District Attorney Donahue, to whom
the refusal was referred, proposes to
file a friendly suit to determine the
legality of the bond issue, and the suit
will be carried before the supreme
court of the state at the earliest pos
sible date. The parties to the suit
have not been selected, but the Fruit
vale school trustees will probably be
plaintiffs.
The objection was based upon a line
in the call for the election which in
addition to the plans to erect three
new school buildings proposed to de-
vote part of the money for making
whatever repairs and improvements
may be deemed necessary to existing
buildings" This was considered as so
far failing definitely to specify the uses
to which the proceeds would be put as
to invalidate the election.
The issue was awarded with the un-
derstanding that it could be rejected II
the legal aspects failed to pass scru-
tiny by bond experts. The First ma
tional bank offered q premium or S4,l55
on the total amount.

.E.B. KNOX MORTALLY
WOUNDS HIS WIFE
Former Banker Commits Deed
While Insane as Result of
Consumption

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. Pc. 3. Knox,
formerly cashier of the Phoenix ma
tionaf bank, shot and mortally wounded
his wife this morning in the yard of
the home of L. f. Hewins at 1903 East
Washington street. Three shots went
wild and the fourth passed through
the woman's body close under the
heart. Wounded as she was, she ran
into the house, while Knox, after snap
ping the revolver vainly at his head,
hacked at the veins of his wrists with
penknife.
When arrested he was found to be
insane, wildly talking of plots to kill
him by turning an electric current
through his body. He is a hopeless
consumptive and the disease appears to
have reached his brain. He has been
taken to hospital, where his condition
is believed to be critical. In a nearby
room is the wife, slowly dying.
The couple were married in San
Francisco last March after the bride,
Miss Ida Foxhall. had spent part of
the winter in nursing Knox. They re-
turned lately from California, expect
ing to buy a ranch near Phoenix, and
had been visiting the Hewins family
for a day.
Knox had the highest standing here
and was considered an extremely mild
hammered man. He came from New
York, but his home was at Knoxville,
ILL.,. where millionaire brother died
last year.

JAPANESE JOY MERE
RUSE, ASSERTS HOBSON
Hero of Merrimac Believes Re
ceptiOn to Fleet HypocriticaI
and Talks War

That ii takes more than cheers, wav-
ing of flags and the singing of our
national anthem by 10000 Japanese
children TO preserve the peace of the
Pacific is the opinion of Captain r. p.
Hobson, who is in town to speak
for the cause Of Bryan at Walton's pa
vilion this evening.
According TO the hero of the Merri-
mac, the Japanese reception to the fleet
was a mere ruse. 1t was hypocritical,
an artifice indulged in to blind the
American mind to their real purpose,
that, fun Of confidence in their protes-
tations Of good will, we might remove
the fleet from the Pacific and thus give
seizing the islands Of the Pacific and
invading our coasts.
The welcome extended our fleet by
the Japanese was not sincere" said
Hobson last night. 1T could not be
otherwise. The two nations are an
tagonistic. The undercurrents run more
deeply than cheers and sounding of
cymbals. Japan wants the islands we
hold in the Pacific; it wants the trade
with China and we want it. can easily
perceive in their feigned gladpess in
welcoming our fleet d desire to blind US
as TO their real feelings, that we may
unguardedly remove the feet from the
Pacific and thus open the way for their
cherished notion, the seizure of the
islands Of the Pacific.
Il am stiIl advocating the building
OF more battleships and larger ones,
ships OF $4,000 tonnage. and I think that
the country is gradually awakening TO
an appreciation Of the necessity of more
ships"

no trace of Fred Kloeber has been

try, from where Kumle's body was
found back to the Hot Springs hotel,

routes Kloeber was likely to take. Six

body was found and the men will work
in every direction from that point
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Details of
the disappearance of Frederick w.
Kloeber and julius Kumle while on a
hunting expedition in the Cascade
mountains Rre given in letter re-
ceived here by members of Kloeber's
family.
Kloeber, in company with Kumle,
who is associated with him in the
Green River Hot Springs sanitarium,
which is owned by Kloeber's brother,
DIR. John s. Kloeber, left the springs
Monday, October 10, on a shooting trip
in the mountains. The reports so far
received indicate that the two men in
tended to be absent only one day, hav-
ing started out with the idea of pene-
trating the mountains for only a short
distance. 1t is supposed that they were
caught unawares by the blizzard which
swept suddenly over the mountains
and, blinded by the driving snow, lost
their bearings.
The finding of Kumle's body alone
indicates that the two men separated
when they reached the mountains.

ZIMMERMAN ROBBED
AND KIDNAPPED
Edward English Made to Sign
Note for $4,000 and Then
Tied to Tree

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Oct. ga
special from Mount Vernon tonight
says: q
While driving to Mount Vernon this
evening from his lumber camp, about
Is miles from here. Edward English a
wealthy lumberman of Mount Vernon,
was held up and kidnapped by a lone
robber about three miles from town.
The robber forced English to make a
note payable at Mount Vernon bank
for $4,000 and write the following letter
to his wife:
Mrs. English-My Dear Wife: / am
held UP and kidnapped for $4,000, and I
am threatened with having my ears cut
off IL the money is not forthcoming by
tomorrow noon. For Gods sake, make
all haste. Show this to Mr.. Hannay
and solicit this sum. ED ENGLISH"
Hannay is connected with a Mount
Vernon bank. The robber, within two
miles of town, handed the note and let
ter to passing traveller, telling him
that English had been injured in run
away and to take the missive to Mrs.
English. This the stranger did. Mean
while the bandit left his victim tied to
a tree, evidently intending to return to
him In the morning and see If the ran
som was forthcoming.
English, however, managed to break
loose from the ropes which bound him
and made his way to the home Of Henry
Day, about two miles from Mount YER
non, where he telephoned his wife and
Sheriff Harmon of Skagit county. The
sheriff at once sent deputies out in
hopes of securing the kidnaper. The
fellow is described as having one arm
bandaged up. 1t is believed that the
stranger who brought the note to Mrs
English was a confederate.
