The members of the Central Christian Church are trying to understand by what his accounts and those of the church. An effort is being made to find out how the cldents have come to light. Everything was left to Davis and his secretary, H. B. McGill, and now the officials cannot under- stand how much they are worth or how much they owe, or whether they are worth anything or are heavily in debt. The last supposition seems to be the most probable. After the pastor's marriage, when he left the church, Jonn W.

A Clever Attempt to Take the Oakland W ater-Front Case Out of the Jurisdic- tion of the Supreme Court. OAKLAND, April 9.—Willlam R. Davis, one of the special attorneys in the water front litigation, made the following statement to-day: “The petition filed by the parties signing it was gotten up and filed without any conference with any one representing the city of Oakland. Neither the Mayor, the City Council, the City Attorney nor the official counsel were aware of the existence of such a petition until it had gone to Washington and been referred by the Secretary of War to the corps of engineers of the army at San Francisco. ““We are not acquainted with the petitioners and how many of them will turn out to be residents of Oakland and interested in Oakland’s welfare re- mains to be seen. The notices of the hearing are very brief, but the subject matter involved is of the utmost importance to the city, and for that matter to the State. The change of harbor lines asked, stripped of all engineering and legal refinements, means this: “Under the decision of tae Supreme Court of California, as it now stands, the holding is that the Water-front Company may and does own, as its pri- vate property, the narrow strip or ribbon of the water front between ordi- nary daily high and low tide, beginning at about the foot of Oak street and extending westerly along the southern frontage to Twenty-second street. The United States pierhead line established by the Federal Government in 1893 lies waterward in the estuary in front of the ordinary low-tide line all the way. That pierhead line means the line of frontage out to which the Federal Government will allow piers or wharves, docks and slips to be con- structed, open underneath so as not to interfere with the flow of the tide, but th suitable flooring, docks, sheds and superstructures ordinarily used in commerce. 7 “As matters now stand the distance betweéen the low-tide line, which is the outermost line to which the water-front company’s lands can go, and this Government pierhead line of 1893, is at all points from Oak down to the point very considerable; in some places as much as about 300 feet and throughout much of the frontage over 100 feet in width. That is to say the publie (the State) is now at liberty-to erect and maintain wharves, docks, plers and the like on an irregular strip of the water front lying waterward from ordinary low-tide line out to the governmentally established pierhead all the way and anywhere from about the foot of Oak street down to the point and also off the West Oakland shore, beginning at ordinary low-tide line out to the pierhead line there, which is a very large, roomy place. “Taking this strip of the actual navigable frontage as matters now stand it would average about 150 feet in width from Oak street to the point and lies wholly in front of anything awarded by the Sulpreme Court to the ‘Water-front Company, thus enabling the public to have, use and control along that entire frontage the ship landings from Oak street to the point, precisely as the State is now using and controlling the ship landings and water trontage in S8an Francisco. Those who have not heretofore under- stood the great importance and advantage in these facts arising from the recent litigation and decision of the Supreme Court will now perhaps have their eyes opened by the fact that the private claimants of the water front consider the present situation of so great advantage to the public that it is sought by an order of the War Department to render nugatory the decision of our State courts, for that will be precisely the effect of changing the plerhead lines as the petitioners ask to have it changed. “A moment’s attention to the point discloses that the change asked in effect does away with the decision of our Supreme Court. It is asked to move the pierhead line all along the southern frontage of the city back land- ward to a new line suggested by the petitioners, which is entirely within, that is, landward, of ordinary low-tide line all the way from Oak street to the point, which means to move.the pierhead line from public waters under public control, where it now is, back upon private property, which would give the absolute dominion and control of all those wharves, docks, slips, plers and superstructures into the control of the private corporation. “The decision limits private ownership to low-tide line; the change peti- tioned for would limit navigation, landing wharves, docks, warehouses and all the usual instrumentalities of commerce to private possession and con- trol. Of course Oakland, is profoundly concerned now and for all time to come in the question. “I have said the State is concerned also. That arises not only from all the foregoing, but also from the further fact that this petition asks that the pierhead line on the south side of the estuary be pushed back to a line there on the Alameda side landward there from the ordinary low-tide line, doing which confronts Alameda and its future commerce with the same question with which Oakland is confronted. The Supreme Court's decision being as it is, they holding that ‘ship channel’ means ordinary low-tide line, the grant to the town of Oakland ended at the low-tide line on the north side of the estuary. The Supreme Court so holds. From this holding it follows that the bed and basin of the estuary and so much of the bed of the bay as is involved were never granted to the town of Oakland under the Supreme Court’s holding and has remained all this time and now remains under the original direct jurisdiction and control of the State of California. “The speclal attorneys for the city will draw the attention of the board of engineers to the effect of the Supreme Court's decision and to the effect of the proposed change. We of course have no authority to act profession- ally for the State of California. That rests with the Attorney-General. But we are citizens of the State of California as well as of the city of Oakland, and as well as counsel for the city. The matter will not go by default, as nothing has in this matter as yet. This change would virtually amount to a substitution of a military board of the War Department for the Supreme Court of this State, and indeed of the Supreme Court of the United States,” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * = * * % sk ok ok ok ok ok sk ok ok ok ok ok sk ok sk ok sk sk ok sk ok sk ok sk sk ok sk sk ok sk ok sk sk sk sk sk sk sk ok sk sk sk ok sk sk ok sk ok ok sk ok sk ok sk ak ok sk sk ok ok sk sk sk sk ok ok ok ok sk ok sk ok ok ok ok sk ok sk ok ok sk ok ok ok ok ko k FEEEEEEEE RS R E R EE R ELEREEEEEREEERERERZTY property, $20 per month alimony and $23 for costs. ur.

FIGHTING THE BIG MONOPOLY Supervisors Consider the Mutual Electric Light Co.’s Petition. P. B. Cornwall Says He Only Asks the Same Privilege Granted Others. The Matter to Bs Taken Up in Com- mittee of the Whole Next Tuesday Night. Considerable hostility was shown to the electric light company that is trying to break the monopoly now enjoyed by the San Francisco Gas and Electric Com- pany at the joint meeting of the Streets and Street Lights committees of the Supervisors yesterday. Supervisor De- vany presided, and Smith, Britt, Rivers, Clinton and Morton were present. A number of interested parties were present, including a large delegation from the Merchants’ Association and Messrs. Cornwall and Summerhayes of the Mutual Company. The meeting was called to consider the resolution introduced by Dodge two weeks ago, asking the Mutual Company to state what was necessary in the way of extending its service to enable it to compete for the contract of lighting public buildings and certain outside dis- -tricts, and calling on the Gas Inspector for a map showing the location of every gas and electric lamp in the city. spector Taylor was present and stated that he had no such map and could not prepare it without going to considerable expense, P. B. Cornwall, in response to a re- quest from the members, said the first resolution passed by the Supervisors granting permission for the erection of poles and wires was to the California Electric Light Company in 1881. That was followed by an ordinance giving the Edison company the same right. Other ordinances had since been passed giving telegraph, telephone and street rallroad companies the same privileges, to which no exception was taken. The Mutual Company had laid its wires underground within the fire limits, and it now asked to be granted permission to erect poles outside the fire limits. It did not ask any privilege that had not already been granted to other corporations, or on so large a scale as others had beén favored. Clinton asked what it cost the city for electric lights at present, and it was shown that the San Francisco Company is paid $120,000 a 3 Mr. Cornwall In- r: id his company guaran- teed to save the city at least $40,000 a year on the present cost, and he would put up the best bond ever offered to the Su- pervisors for $100,000 or any other amount, to insure its fulfiliment. He said his co any would also save private consumers 60,000 & year on the present cost, making a total saving of $100,000. There was no way a competing company could enter the fleld except by erecting poles in outside districts, for it would be far too expen- sive to put wires underground in the resi- dence portion of town. Devany and Britt, overlooking the pro- visions of the pending resolution which called for the very information they de- manded, wanted to know how many poles it would be necessary to erect, and if the company was prepared to give the I formation right there. Mr. Cornwall re- plied that he was not prepared to answer, as the resolution had not vet been passed calling for the information, but if given until Tuesday he would give all the in- formation required. Clinton moved that the resolution be adopted, but there was no second to the motion, and Mr. Cornwall sald his com- pany only asked to be granted its con- stitutional privilege. In answer to Smith, Britt and Devany, who insisted upon Cornwall giving the information, though they opposed the resolution calling for it, that gentleman said he- thought it would not reuire more than 140 poles to extend his service when necessary. A petition from the Merchants’' Asso- ciation was then read. It asked that gas lamps be abolished and all the streets lighted by electricity, reciting the efforts of the association in that respect and the good results accomplished. A. S. Bald- win spoke on behalf of the association and submitted the maps Inspector Taylor had not_been able to prepare. After Mr. Baldwin had concluded, Clin- ton moved that the whole matter be sub- mitted to the board Monday, and con- sidered in committee of the whole Tues- day night. The motion was carried. —e—— Masonic Ladies at Work.

Formal Move Toward a Park. OAKLAND, April $.—Mayor Thomas to- day signed the ordinance passed by the City Councll, declaring the Adams Estate Tiact suitable for a park site.

High Honor for a Railroad Employe on the Berkeley Line. BERKELEY, April 9.—James H. Al- drich, who as brakeman on the Berkeley local tralns for years past, has become known to nearly every man, woman and child of the university town, has received word from Washington of his appoint- ment as Treasury Agent for Alaska, to have charge of the salmon industry. The appointment was made by President Mc- inley several days ago, and will doubt- less be ratified within the coming fort- night. Mr. Aldrich will probably start for Juneau about May 15 or 20, where his duties as Treasury Agent will keep him bu:g during the fishing season from May to_September. For eighteen years Mr. Aldrich has been outhern Pacific in the service of the Company, in the various capacities of brakeman, station agent, conductor and telegraph operator. ~ For years he was territorial freight agent of the Hunting- ton system in Mexico for the states of Chihuahua, Durango, Coahiula and Zacat- ecas. For three years he held a lieuten- ant’s commission in the Mexican gendar- meria, which honor he obtained through the offices of his uncle, General Shafter, In his varied travels and experiences he has become quite a linguist and speaks fluently five different languages. Four years ago Aldrich was transferred (at his own request) to the Berkeley local line as brakeman. He began to study law in his spare hours, and after three years of study he was admitted to the bar in August last. Berkeley commuters and college students riding daily on the trains came to know the big and jovial brake- man, and the announcement of his ap- pointment to a Federal position of trust has caused the greatest pleasure among “Jim” Aldrich’s host of friends. —_———— THE HARBOURNE SHORTAGE. Expert Davis Finds That It Is Con- siderably More Than Had at First Been Stated. ALAMEDA, April 9.—Expert Davis, who has been engaged for some time in exam- iring the books of the public library for the purpose of determining the amount of ex-Librarian Harbourne’s shortage, has completed his task and made his report last evening to the Board of Library Trus- tees. The full report has not been made public, and a special meeting of the board will be held on Tuesday evening next to receive and discuss-it. It is understood, hewever, that the report will show a total shortage of about $2000, instead of the $1000 or $1100 originally claimed. An awmazing feature of the affair is that forged warrants are found for as small sums as $150, $1 25 and $1. ———————— ATHLETIC DISPUTE SETTLED. BERKELEY, April 9.—The athleti> dis- pute between California and Stanford over the bicycle race was settled to-day by an arbitration committee appointed to | adjust the difficulty. The race will take place in San Jose on Wednesday, April 20. Manager Melville Dozier of California insisted on having the bicycle race on the Wednesday before the intercollegiate field day. Manager T. T. C. Gregory of Stan- ford wanted the race on the same day as the field day. The managers could not agree, the faculty athletic committees could not agree, so President Charles P. Eells appointed a committee to arbitrate, | as provided in the recent arbitration treaty between the two universities. Mr. Eells appointed Samuel Knight, Hall Mc- Allister and A. J. Dibblee, and they de- cided in favor of California’s contention. ADVERTISEMENTS. SENT FREE T0 MEN The State Medical Institute Discovers a Remarkable Remedy for Lost Vigor.
