Jan. 12.—The records of the City Hngincer's office in this { city are not very complete as re- gards surveys of Lake Merritt, but incomplete as they are they show that many acres of the most valuable land have been quletly appropriated by land owners about the lake. Not alone is this 50, but Councilman Felton Taylor, who | made the original assertion that $75,000 | worth of city land had been pre-empted | around the lake, = that houses now | stand where once rippled the waters of | Lake Merritt. Lake Merritt was originally tidewater, | and the time was when small schooners | used to =ail up into the arms where now | & rowboat can scarcely go. In order to construct the main lake sewer, a very im- portant artery of Oakland’s sanitary sys- tem, it was necessary to make a lake out of this arm of the bay for use as a flush- | Ing basin, and Congress ceded to the city of Oakland all of its interest in Lake Mer- ritt, and it now ranks on the city records as a water park. The city of Oakland therefore holds whatever title was held by the United States, and that title is said to be from the old Peralta grant line out. This Pe- | ralta grant line was fixed by the United States engineers and was intended to fol- low approximately the shore line. Shortly after Lake Merritt was created City En- | gineer Arnold ran the official line of the lake, which was gubstantially that of the old Peralta grant line, and these two lines constitute the official surveys of Lake Merritt. In this investigation, as proposed by Councllman Taylor, it will be neces- sary to re-establish these lines and apply | them to the property surrounding lake, and this will show what land is claimed by the city and where there are | It will then be necessary by search and probably chme blish title the most casual examination of the mep accompan seen that on every side and corner of the luke there have been encroachments, statements to the contrary notwithstand- ing. The legality of these encroachments will have to be tested in some way or the surface of Lake Merritt reduced. and lund that might be used by for parks and a boulevard will be €d to private ownership. These encroachments have mostly come where small bays or bights have indented the shores of the lake, These have been ction of the elements sion. There Is a considerable plece of marsh in the southwestern corner of the lake, next the Twelfth street dam, that f= outside of the Peralta ant line and the title to which is in the Adams es- tate. This land is outside of the present rsy. as it was submerged by the n of the lake, though this property would be very nice for the city to own. When the boulevard was constructed around the lake two arms were cut off and filled. One of these has been taken possession of by the Alameda Land Com- panuy. which is owned by the Adams heirs This contained fully half a square block of land. The other has been taken pos- session of by Dr. E. H. Woolsey, and was much smaller. The first step that will have to be taken will be to make a complete survey of the | lake boundaries and then have a search made to the title to the land Inside of the line thus established. The settlement of the title will then become a matter of law and the courts. This is the plan advo- cated and initiated by Councilman Felton Taylor, who first sprung this question, have not gone Into this matter blind- said Mr. Taylor to-night, “but gave thorough investigation before g a move. Since 18570 I have lived adjacent to the lake and know most all the land that has been filled in and then taken possession of by outsiders. A few ¥ s ago the water extended u to Franklin street. Now for several blocks that thoroughfare there is filled in a oceupled by fine residences. 1 am convinced that every foot of that real 2 belongs to the city and the pres- ent possessors are usurpers. It iIs the i z.r?md the lake. Those people m ft nave no more right to it uld have to an island which 1 might create by filling in a spot in the middle of the lake. Every authorl which I have consulted is of that opinion and I think it Is about time the city asserted its rights and instituted proceed iNgS to recover presession of 1t< Property —_————— ROSENBERG ADMITS HE IS AN ANARCHIST LAND, Jan. 12—T.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1900, 15 INSANE OR MISINTERPRETS THE HOLY WRIT Doctors Disagree in Mulder’s Case. i Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Jan. 12. Harry Mulder, a Kentucky darky, has thrown into a quandary two lunacy com- missioners, Insanity Warden James Page, | Superior Judge ;Ogden and District At- | torney Allen. He was arrested for in- | sanity at a very early hour this morning | and his examination this afternoon creat- | ¢d a queer complication such as has never before occurred in the history of Alameda County’s lunacy ‘commission. Mulder is aged 21 years. He was found roaming about on ‘the mudfiats at the | foot of Thirteenth street. He had di- vested himself of every stitch of clothing and appeared in primitive undr To | the arresting officers he said that he came | from Kentucky, that he had been wicked | and that, according to the Bible, the Lord | had told him to throw away all his earth- ly possessions. All he owned was his | clothes and to do penance he had thrown his raiment into the bai;. He was placed in the insane ward at the Recelving Hos- inal and to-day Drs. J. C. 8. Akerly and |'E. T. Barber were selected as lunacy commissioners to examine him. | To the commissioners Mulder sald that his actions were prompted by a des!re to be a good Christlan and that he based his beliefs on the Bible. He declared he had a religion of his own which dictated to him that nothing should come betwzen himself and the Lord. 2 “I thought I would sacrifice my | clothes.” he said, “depending upon God to reclothe me. But he has not yet done s0." | Then came the hitch. Dr, Akerly | promptiy signed the recommendation for commitment to an asylum, the colored man was afflicted fous mania. arber, however, refused to so recommend, dec] that Mulder was | not insane, but he simply “‘misin- terpreted the Bible.” When Mulder was taken before Judge Ogden his Honor declared he had no iiction and that he was poweriess in of the doctors’ failure to agree. anity Wa n Page next appealed to the District Attorney for advice and was informed that there exists no law cover- ing this kind of an emergency, but that the matter rests with the warden, who may keep the patient five days and have him re-examined by other doctors. ‘Warden Pafe has concluded to hold Mulder for a few days and then have him re-examined. When asked this aiternoon | whether he desired anything Mulder asked only for the Bible. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

Boring through the side of a house Is the latest method of operation adopted by the burglars of Oakland. Last evening they tried to effect an entrance into the gun Store of J. W. Orear at 517 Seventh street by going through the side of the house, but it is believed that they were frightened away by a setter dog that sleeps in the store. That the would-be burglars were ac- quainted with the premises is evident, as they selected as their point of entrance the only place where it would have been possible to enter in that way. At every other point there are rows of selves stored with ammunition, which would have ef- fectually stopped their approach. The place where they made the attempt is protected only by the clapboard wall and the recess in the shelving is occupled at night by the dog that last night aid such effective work. Next door to the n yard used as a nursery and it is full of shrubs, a fact which ate unobserved. They used, in their oper- ations, a brace and bit, a chisel and a saw and had cut out a hole about a foot fu ore is a “‘-m before they were frightened away. They left their tools and a sack, evi- dently to be used in carrying away thelr plunder, beside the hole, when they took their hurried departure. Orear says he never kept money In the store and it is his opinfon that the burglars were after guns, ammunition and cutlery The attempted burglary was not dis- covered till daylight, but at-4 o'clock this morning Patrolmen Sherry and McSorley, assisted by Deputy Constable Moffatt, made the arrest of three suspects, who are supposed to be not only responsible for the attempted burglary, but for other depredations which have been committed recently in this city. Officer McSorley, in accordance with a new plan of patrol inaugurated by Chief of Police Hodgkins, was walking down Clay street when he observed three men at the corner of Sixth. When he was ob- erved the men walked hurriedly away and broke into a run as he followed them. He telephoned to Sergeant Clark for aid and Sherry and Moffatt were sent to assist him. The three policemen overhauled the sus- gicls at the free market on Clay street, tween Fourth and Fifth. where they had taken refuge in a stall, and placed only after having drawn their revolvers. At the City Prison the men gave thelr names as William Dannaker, Willilam Dowling and James McCoy. The first two have been through the reform school g‘nd e- to the police, is An effort is now being made by Chief Hodgkins and his detectives to connect the men with the recent burglaries and it is said exactly with the men who wounded Willlam Vincent at Sixth and Clay streets, because he refused to give them his cash. @*isdedebedeseie@ guardian; J.
