THE| OAKLAND SCANDALS. Strong Array of Counsel on Behalf of the Defendant and Indications N of a Bitter Con- ' test. Oakland Office San Francisce Call, 908 Broadway, June 2. The trial of Harry Thomas, secretary of the Board of Public Works, for suborna- tlon of perjury -under an indictment by the Grand Jury, promises to be fought out laregly on political lines. During the ex- amination of talesmen to-day, politics were very conepicuous. The political af- filiations of . the talesmen were closely searched and along those lines they were accepted or excused. Mayor. Thomas was in court with his son and almost as many questions were asked regarding the acquaintance of possible jurors with the-father as with the son. Attorneys. M. C. Chapman, Emil Nus- baumer and A. L. I'rick are taking care of the defendant's interests, while the people are represented by Deputies L. S. Church and A. A. Moore, Jr. Considerable amusement was afforded the bench and the lobby by the examina- tion of J. Donlan, a farmer of Murray Township. ¥ Mr. Donlan says he had never heard anything of the case till he came in court this. morning. He remembered seeing | some headlines about it a few months ago, | but he plainly inferred that he did not think Oakland political scandals deserving | of any serious attention. he would prefer to convict or to acquit the | defendant, Mr. Donlan replied: “‘Well, I | am.a-laying for these fellows if they are | uilty.”” The court was asked by Mr. | Chapman to repeat the remark, which he | did, and Mr. Donlan by way of explana- | tion, sald that he was in favor of always | convicting the guilty and letting the inno- | cent go free, "Although it seems to me | that this ain’t always the cas Mr. Donlan further stated that he knew Judge -Nusbaumer's father and mother | well, ‘but he knew mnothing about ‘“‘the | boy.” "““The boy” is about 50 years of age | and is a.leading counsel for the defend- | ant. After a thorough examination Judge Nusbaumer excused Mr. Donlan. | Another juror, Mr. Doanes, of Bast Oak- | land, was. excused because he had done | some politics for Mr. Dow, whom the de- | fendant's attorneys fear is interested in| securing the conviction of Harry Thomas. | Several members of the Grand Jury| have been subpoenaed and several mem bers of the police force, as well as ex Chief Lloyd, have also been subpoenaed. | Harry Thomas was mildly scored by Judge Kllsworth this afternoon for not appearing on time. The court waited for | fifteen minutes and then asked. of the| attorneys for the defense, *Gentlemen, | have you any idea as to the whereabouts | of -your client?” Judge Nusbaumer re- ing him any minute. Forty-five minutes after ‘the court had convened, Harry | Thomas walked into the court room and took his _seat. Judge Ellsworth sald, “Mr. Thomas, the | court would like to krow why you have | thus detained it.” “I do not know, your Honor,” replied Thomas. *But we must | know,” said Judge Ellsworth. “I was not aware that I was detaining | the court, not knowing at what time it | met,” safd the defendant. The Judge warned him to be careful not | to repeat the offense and the examination of jurors continued. POTRERO AVENUE | EXTENSION OPINION. | | Tor, THE LEGAL STATUS DEFINED) BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY. Property-Owners Along the Proposed | Line Will Now Be Able to See ‘ | Their Way Clear. The great anxiety of the property own- | ers on the line of Potrero avenue from | Ninth street to the county line over the | | extension of that thoroughtare, which | project has been in a cloudy condition for | the last eight years, has at last been re- | lieved by light thrown on its legal Status | by the City and County Attorney. The opinion was filed with the super- | visors at the ,request of the property | owners. | The following is the opinion of the City | and County Attorney: SAN FRANCISCO, June 2, 1898. To the Board gf Supervisors: 1 am in re- celpt of resolution No. 1035 (fourth Serles) of the board, a portion of which asks *‘why Po- trero avenue has not been opened, and the condition of the law respecting the same.”” This inquiry of the board contains two ques- | tions, each of which I will answer separately. TirstWhy Fotrero avenus has - not been opened ? ‘Answer—On November 6, 1831, the board pass- | ed a resolution of intention, No. 5948 (third ser- les), declaring its intention to open and exten Potrero avenue from New Channel street mi Ninth street, and from Twenty-fifth street to the county line. These proceedings were taken | under the provisions of the street opening act | of March 6, 1889 (Sta{s. 1889, p. 70). A!lcr| proper publication and notice in accordance | with the provisions of that act order No. 2413 | of the board was passed ordering this avenue | open and extended in - accordance with the declared intention of the board, Among other matters this order In section 1 thereof jrovided: ‘“The sald avenue and streets asextended embracing all the land in- cluded In the boundaries hereinafter described | is hereby condemned, appropriated, acquired, | set apart and taken for public use.’” This provision of order No. 2493 i identical | with the provision contained in order No. 231 declaring Market, street from Seventeenth and | Castro to_the Pacific Ocean an_open public street. The provision in order No. 2319 was | passed upon by the Supreme Court of Califor- | nia in the case of Wulzen vs. Supervisors, 101 | Cal. 15. The court held that the order of the | Board of Supervisors of the City and County | of San Francisco, purporting to open and ex. | tend Market street to the ocean, and declaring that all the land within its exterior bounda: | ries, as extended, “is hereby condemned, ap- | propriated, acquired, et apart and taken for public use,” is judiclal in its nature in_so far as it purports o condemn the land described, and to that extent is in excess of the jurisdic tion of the board. The proceedings to open and extend Market street were therefore de- clared illegal and vold, Inasmuch as order No. 2492 for the opening and extension of Potrero avenue contains the same provision as order No. 2319 for the open- ing and extension of Market street, it follows that order 2453 and all proceedings taken there. under-are likewise null and void. A comprehensive. history of other proceedings for the opening of Potrero avenue, consisting of twenty-four pages of printed matter, pro pared by John A. Russell Esq. with admirable clearness and accuracy, can be found in the appendix to the municipal reports of 1894-5. | This history shows the beginning and ending of various attempts by the board to cpen Potrero avenue from the southerly lina of Serpentine avenue to the northerly line of Army street. Second—What is the condition of the law re- specting the same? Answer—Proceedings for the extension of Potrero _avenue were taken under the pro- visions of the act of March 23, 1593. This act was confined in its operation to municipalitics of 40,000 inhabitants and over, was special legislation and therefore unconstitutional, and the proceedings had thereunder for the open- | ing of Potrero avenue were, In the case of | Helen A. Landers vs. Board of Supervisors et al., heid to be il d vold. (See opinion of 'attorney_and counselor of the board dated September 23, 15%5.) By the terms of this act of the Legislature it 1s made applicable only to *‘any municipality or eity and cities and counties containing over 40,000 ‘inhabitants,” “and manifestly it was the intent of the Legislature that it should, in such political subdivisions, supersede the street opening act of 1885, This intent was empha sized by clauses therein specially relieving from the operation of the act of 1559 all munici- palities containing 40,000 inhabitants or over. The act of 1589 being unaffected by the vro- i ‘When asked if | C plied that they had mot, but were expect- | 9 |8 -$10. visions of the unconstitutional act of March 23,1893, is now in full force and ef 3 It furnishes a full and complete though ex- pensive system for the opening of streets. The Supreme Court of California has recentl held that this is not the only method by whi a street may be opened, but that it would he accomplished by _condemnation proceedings taken_under title VII, part III of the Code of Civil Procedure. The declsion referred to reads as follows: ““The provisions of the act of March 6, 1889, are not exclusive, and were not designed to pro- hibit a municipality from maintaining con- demnation proceedings under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure. It may and will usually happen that a municipality proposing to open a new street will adopt the machinery provided for by the statute, if for no other reasons than that it contemplates the forma- tion of an assessment district, and the imposi- tion of the cost of the opening of the street upon the property of that district. But, upon the other hand, if it ‘shall happen that a mumicipality has in its treasury funds available for the proposed condemnation and opening of a street, no good reason can be seen why it should not pay these expenses out of its treas- ury and relieve property owners of the unneces- gary burden of taxation.” Tos Angeles vs. Leavis, decided December 3, 897.

Parade and Music to Be Followed by an Oration From Hon. Tirey L. Ford — More Candi- dates. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, June 2. The politiclans were in evidence again to-day, after having spent three days in San Francisco, during which time Oak- land was completely deserted. Never has it been so apparent that this is a city of politicians as during the early part of this week, especially around the county buildings, the desire to appear at the Re- publican League Convention animating Superior Judges and janitors alike. Now that the convention is past the Republican politicians are trying to dis- cover what they have accomplished. One wing characterizes the proceedings as a political mountebank show, the other wing declares that it has accomplished yeoman service toward bringing the nom- ination for Governor to this county. Hap- pily every one is satisfied. The Davis men declare that their candidate has benefited largely, while the Pardee men declare that they can nominate their man without a contest in the State Conven- tion. The conservative element, however, is wondering whether the outburst of en- thusiasm from Alameda County was ju- dicious and whether it had encouraged other candidates in other parts of the State to believe that the local breach will never be healed, and that in future com- putations regarding the coveted nomina- tion Alameda may be counted out. Everybody is now interested in the call- ing of the primaries, and as to whether the State Central 'Committee will so frame the call that the County Central Committee will be at liberty to have State delegates elected in such a manner as to insure a unit delegation. To-morrow night the nun§ Men's Re- publican League has arranged a big rally at Hamilton Hall. The league, with a band, will march te the local train and escort Hon. Tirey L. Ford, the orator of the evening, to the hall. Bhort speeches will also be made by George W. Reed, E. K. Taylor, A. L. I'rick and others. The vice-presidents selected hi; Presi- dent A. H. Breed show that he has car- ried out his rmmlse that the league shall not be manipulated in_ the interests of either Davis or Pardee, for it contains the most prominent names of men supporting either party. They are as follows: John A. Britton, Hon. Guy C. Earl, Hon. George C. Pardee, Judge S. P. Hall, Henry P. Dalton, H. A. Melvin, Hon. William R. Davis, B Paul Goldsmith, Clarence Crow- .g{emn.w.

Last nfiéht a meeting was held and Messrs. Gregory and Bretz crossed swords over the old fusion proposition. The fol- lowing resolution was framed and will be sent to the various ward clubs for action, after which it will be reported back to the Central Committee: Resolved, That inasmuch as the People's party is a distinct political party advocating reformatory principles totally unilke those of Republican or Democratic parties, therefore we deem it not only inexpedient but destructive both to our organization and our principles to fuse, co-operate, or in any way assoclate with either of the two old parties. Resolved, That the present duty of the Peo- ple's party s to reastert its princlples and prove to the country that it is in no way allied to either of the old parties and worthy of the support of true reformers. WILL RACE LIKE HORSES. San Franciscos Will Give No Time Allowances to Yachts. At a meeting of the directors of the San Francisco Yacht Club held yesterday at the Merchants’ Exchange thers were present: Commodore Dr. T. L. Hill, Treasurer R. B. Hogue, Financial Secretary W. G. Mor- row and Measurer J. M. Punnett. The resignation of Lieutenant McCully, form- erly of the United States coast survey vessel McArthur, but now of the United States navy, was accepted. The McAr- thur, while engaged in surveying the bay of San Francisco, for a long time made her headquarters at Sausalito. Wakefleld Baker was elected a member of the club. There was considerable discussion about the publication of a book to contain the by-laws of the club as approved at its last eneral meeting, a catalogue of the yachts n the fleet and their measurements and a list of members; but no definite conclusion was arrived at. Several bills were ap- proved and ordered paid. A jinks s to be given at the clubhouse at Sausalito on the evening of Saturday, June 2, and a regatta, open to all the clubs on the bay, on Sunday, June 26. It was suggested that the yachts in each class should have their time taken from the firing of the signal gun for that class and that there should be no time allow- ances. If this suggestion is adopted yacht racing will become a much more interest- ing and Intelligible sport to spectators without any technical knowledge than it has hitherto been. Under the system now in vogue, a yacht may cross the finishing line ahead of everything else and cover the course in a shorter time than any of its competitors, and yet, when the tim XKeepers have concluded their calculations, be adjudged last in the race. ——————— Their Marriage a Failure.

Captain chld;on Held for Trial fcr Beating a Member of His Crew in a Cruel Manner. Captain W. R. Dickinson of the Amer- ican ship Aryan was held to answer yes- terday by United States Commissioner Heacock to a charge of beating and wounding a sallor named Charles Dunn on the high seas. The testimony was to the effect that while the vessel was off Cape Horn in a squall Dunn and another member of the crew were ordered to take in sail .in a hurry. the captain naturally became impatient and gave him a shove. About twenty or twenty-five minutes afterward while Dunnh was at the wheel he and the cap- tain _had a discussion as to the shoving of Dunn to one side by the -captain, whereupon the captain, according to his They ‘were so slow about it that | own admission, struck Dunn across : the face with the back of his hand. The story of Dunn and two. other members of the crew was to the effect that the. captain’s hand was shut and loaded with some- thing heavy- and that Dunn for .three weeks after the assault was a_ sight to see. His eyes protruded from his head, and his face was bruised and battered al- most beyond recognition —_—————— EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
