THE CREEK T00 NARROW Limiting Walls Said to Have| Been Placed for Railroad Convenience, THE ALAMEDA TIDAL CANAL Entrance to the Partially Dredged | Waterway Held by the Bridge. Tenders, | ~ The publication in THE CALL yesterda; of the facts relative to the Southern Pacific’s use of the Government dredging operations for the buildi of the right of way along Oakland Creek was a revel: tion to the people of the two cities that are special rested. It will also be shown that the previous be dredging } where the n the filling in ne at poi ently used for , making o water had swept intended to s to afford ater transportation, 1 have been completed long ago if the appropriations used in work of direct oad had been devoted to | 1 resque street | ave been rs if there | n no ference with the vlans laid down by the Government | | estuary, through the drawbridge to Wal- | nut street, | into the b: tance. It is the same all the way from one end of the walls to the other. “The narrowness of the channel makes it hard upon boatmen. A sailiug craf, however small, has the right of way over a steam vessel. When sailing vessels are beating in or out of the narrow channel, it isdangeroas and exceedingly difficult work to get in or out with a steam vessel. While running a ferry on the estuary, I have seen twenty sailing craft within those walls, and you can imagine what work 1t was to thread your way among them. I believe the time will come when every stone of those Government walls will have to be re- moved to make 8 larger passage-way. “I have no doubt in my mind that the | training-walls were erected simply to give | the railroad all the land lying outside. The railroad men wanted to know to just how | much of the bay and water front they could lay claim, so induced the Govern- ment to inclose what it wanted that they could say the balance was theirs. Itis re- markable throughout how the Government has helped the railroad company to get what it wanted. The filling has been a great saving to the company. “I ran the first freightboat up the Alameda. The vexations I had to endure were enough to make a man tired of living. 1 have had to trail up to the tidal nal behind their big steamers because there was not suflicient room to pass. Think of that, two steamers not able to pass in the canal. Then when I reached the bridges the tenders would take their time in opening them. Many times they would only partly open, and I would have to work around them. Finally 1 struck the bridze one day and nearly threw it into the bay. I hooked a hawser to the other bridge another day and opened it. It also narrowly escaped going = bridges are a nuisance and dangerous. There is o reason why there should be more than one bridge. It| should be so constructed that it would ac- commodate the public with a wagon- w car lines and railroads. But the various parts should be separated so that there can be no danger of injuries by acci- “Those and after a few days disappeared. He was not again seen uniil his arrest yesterday.

His Attorney Says It Was Unwarranted, but Very Beneficial. George Hayford believes he has scored a good point on Judge Wallace. He was criticized for advising a client to plead guilty to a charge of bizamy, when the court found it necessary to dismiss th case for lack of jurisdiction; but as the re- sult has been to free his client from the charge, he thinks he is ahead. His client, J. F. M. Treweek, was married first Marin County and then in Calaveras. He was arrested in this City, but Judge Wal- luce announced that he could be tried only in one of the two counties where he had married, and so dismissed him, even after his plea of guilty. Hayford submits section 785 of the Penal Code, which reads: When the offense of bigamy is committed in one county ana the defendant is apprehended in another, the jurisdiction isin either county. he says, is authority enough for Thi | Judge Wallace, but as his client is free he is not complaining. THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB. | Senator Ford Withdraws in Favor of Colonel W, D, Sanborn for Director, The New Board Will Organize Next Friday Evening and Elect Colonel George Stone President. After the tempest of Tuesday quiet reigned in the rooms of the Union League Club yesterday. There were no loud boastings or exultation on the part of the victors, as it is well known that the van- quished represents very nearly half the membership of the organization and stands very high in the confidence of the com- munity. General R. A. Friedrich accepts the re- sult in a manly fashion. He knows how the sympatby for Pippy worked against him, and as he allowed himself a year v il L) THE PRESENT TERMINAL POINT OF THE ALAMEDA CANAL ABOVE THE PARK - STREET DRAWBRIDGE e engineers for the i harbor and the ext edvantages to the Mayor John L. Davie of Oakland has spent much of his life in the transporta- tion business at Oakland. He hasa prac- tical know. e of Oakland harbor and its | needs and everybody about here knows of his long experience with the doings of the Southern ic Company and of his con- nection with the famous fight over the Oakland water front. Said the Mayor yes- terday: T heart r inthe statements of TrHE CALL re; the tidal canal mat- | ters. Iam perfectly satisfied that by far the greater part of the money appropri- ated for the improvement of Oakland har- bor has been usea where it would do the | Southern Pacific Company the most bene- | fit. Itisvery queer, to say the least, that the dredging has all been done west of the Webster-street bridge and east of Alice street. Never has there been a dredger be- tween the two bridges. Now what help to commerce is dredging conducted on such lines? “It is very evident to me why no dredg- ing has been done between those bridges. The railroad and Water Front companies have property along the shores of the estuary eastof Alice street. When any dredging has been done the mud has been emptied upon the lands of these two com- panies or private property of some large estate. Then when you go west of the Webeter-street briage the dredgings are all emptied upon the railroad property. No thought is ever given to anything but where the railroad desires to have some filling done. The need of commerce never seems 1o lave been considered at any time. ““A most remarkable thing to me is the fact that the Government should go to the great expense of putting up those two long training-walls. There is the long wharf on the north, all filled to the bulk- head line. It willand does act as a train- ing-wall, stopping all the drift from that portion of the bay. Then on the south there is the narrow-gauge pier, which any one of ordinary ability could see would sooner or later have to be filled in. That would make all the training-wall on the south that would be needed. With those walls, erected at the expense of the rail- | road, Oakland harbor would have had a grand entrance. f the harbor’s | al City. conc “With such an entrance sailing vessels would have any amount of room in which to tack about to getup to the wharves, and at the same time leave room sufficient to allow steam vessels to get in and out. Under present arrangements the entrance from wall to wall is 800 feet. The action of vessels passing in and out haswashed sedi- ment against these walls until the channel is reduced to about 300 feet. You need not take my word for this. Any time at low tide just go out there and you can see the mud panks on ecither side for some dis. would afford no inconvenience to com- | merce, and it would be a benefit to the | city. ! “When I attempted to improve the property between the two drawbridges | there were some remarkable things said and done. The first thing one has to do who desires to erect a wharf or structure | on the water front is to find where the bulkhead and harbor lines are. The bulk- head line is the point beyond which the Government will not allow obstructions placed. The harbor line is the point where private property comes in contact with the Government lands. I sent my contractor to the Government engineer's office in San Francisco to get these lines established. The first thing he was asked was whom he was working for—the rail- road or the Government. He replied that he could not see what business it was of the engineer. He was then told that he must be careful, as he was ‘on railroad prop- erty.’ **‘All T could do, it was impossible to get that office to fix the lines for me until I declared that I should make an appeal direct to Congress. . They then fixed the harbor line and said the bulkhead line had never been fixed. I went to work and drove piles out in the stream some 150 feet to prevent the railroad from running their boats up into my land to prevent me from making improvements. Some of those piles stand out there to-day as a challenge to the railroad. There has been no at- tempt to remove them since that period of excitement. That is a sample of the work which has been done here by the Govern- ment to assist commerce and navigation. It has done little to benefit Oakland or California, but it has been of untold bene- fit to the railroad. “The whole scheme, I believe, is to keep competition away from here. If they suc- ceed in doing this they are able to coin money. Why, Ican lny freight down in Stockton for $1 50 a ton cheaper from San Francisco than I can get the same freight to Oakland. That is because there is free and unrestricted water transportation to compete with the railroad. When the Government has in view the welfare of the people more than that of corporations we can expect some relief. I am glad TuE Cary has raised this important matter to public notice and I hope it will resultin benefit to this city and her citizens.” FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.

Morton Slumbers While a Burglar Makes Valuable Haul, $1000 WORTH OF JEWELS GONE. He Tried to Make a Crease in His Trousers, but Alas! It Was a Decrease. Last Sunday morning wbile Henry D. Morton, superintendent of the Garratt brass foundry and also one of the partners of the special delivery industry, was slum- | bering serenely on the second floor of his residence, at 310 Ellis street, a gentleman of the Spike Hennessy breed shid in the front door, up the stairway and extracted the diamonds from Mr. Morten’s shirt front, to say nothing of his capture of something Jike $1000 worth of jewelry be- longing to Mrs. Morton. He must certainly have been an artist in the business for he left absolutely no trace of himself—or the jewelry. ‘I cannot understand how he gotin the house without some one hearing him,” said Mr. Morton yesterday evening, *‘and what is more, I am compelled to look upon him as one of the cleverest thieves en- gaged in that occupation. I came home Saturaay night at about 11:15 and went immediately to bed, dozing off in a few minutes, as is my custom. Lam a sound sleeper and must have been entirely lost in slumber by midnight. After tbat I do not know what occurred and was not aware 1 had been robbed until I arose the next morning. Neither wife or myself heard any unusual noises from the time we went to sleep until we got up. “‘The first intimation I had that some- thing was missing from my bedroom was when I picked up my white shirt after get- ting out of bed. Inoticed that my diamond stud was missing and exclaimed: ‘Hello, my shirtstud is gone. Perhaps it dropped out and it's on the floor.” 1 searched for it and found nothing. I then put my hand in my trousers pocket and felt a large vacancy there also. When I retired there was $65 in gold in my right-band pocket, but it bhad disappeared with the diamond. The next thing we investigated was the jewelry boxes. There were four of them in all; but only one contained valuable jewelry. It was missing, but the other three were apparently undisturbed. The missing box contained a varicty of jewelry, some of which was set with diamonds, and its total value wassomewherein the neigh- borhood of $1000. Nothing else was dis- turbed. My watch-chain, which was evi- dently concealed by the fact of its being under my vest, as it lay on the chair, es- caped association with the burglar, and I am happiiy in possession of it still. “He certainly was very quiet and knew what he was about from the time he en- tered until he left. I had carefully smoothed out my trousers and deposited them gently across a chair, so as to pre- serve the crease, just as we all do, you know, and he simply lifted the right flap, took the coin and dropped the flap back 1n place again. Not a single thing in the | room was in the least bit disturbed, and had I not missed the articles and the money I would never have known that a stranger had entered.’’ *How many doors did he have to pass through after getting in by the front en- trance?” “None atall. I never close my bedroom door while sleepinz and everything was wide open. He had no trouble to speak of after oh‘ccxing an entrance into the house. He seemed to realize that I was notad- dicted to locks and keys and helped him- selt without any commotion. I have placed the matter in the hands of the police, but bave heen unable to give them the slightest clew to the burglar, and they are absolutely in the dark so far as 1 am concerned. I have never been robbed bejore, and that is doubtless the reason 1 left everything so exposed. I shouid have known better, as there have been several clever robberies in this City of late. >erhaps you have taken precaution to prevent further thefts around your resi- dence?” was suggested to Mr. Morton. “Have 1?7 he exclaimed with a knowing ook. “Well, I should say so. 1 have had new locks and burglar alarms put in all over the hounse. There is a man up there now doing things up in good shave. I know it is like the man who lost his horse and then put a padlock on the barn door, but one may have another horse to steal, so it isn’t so bad a plan after all. In future I will be prepared for such gentle- men in a variety of ways, and I think I will have something to say about who comes into my bedroom at alate hour without knocking.” Yesterday there was a rumor aroand po- lice quarters that Mr. Morton had lost two 4-carat stones, valued at something in the neighborhood of several thousand dollars, but Mr. Morton modestly says he did not, He was relnctant about going into details regarding the number of pleces contained in the jewelry box and said he preferred not to particulari Mr. Morten is inclined to the belief that the man who got into his-house is one of the same gang that looted the optical stores of Hirsch, Kahn & Co. on Kearny street some weeks ago and also Muller’s institution on Market street within tke past six months, Nota fragment of the material taken from these places ever ap- peared again in this City through the vawnshops, which is the customary chan- nel into which most stolen property event- ually pours. The most rigid lookout has been kept for these goods and not a trace of them has been discovered. The thieves must be disposing of them through the East, where the higher class of criminals prefer to do business rather than suffer the inconven- ience of what might_follow such reckless- ness on this coast.
