It was a miraculous escape from death or frightful injury, for Berg only sus- tained a broken rib and a deep cut across the left ankle. Berg's plunge through the air was observed by a large number of people waiting for the train at Berkeley sta- tion this morhing. There was a clash of structural work and rigging at the new building, and a heavy steel girder went fiying downward. In its flight it struck the platform upon which Berg, who is a machinist, was station- ed, and smashed it instantly. Berg fell with the whole mass and landed in the basement. b Everybody thought Berg had been killed, but before his fellow workmen could reach him he walked out from the midst of the debris unaided. Dr. J. T. Farrar, who was summoned, found-the man's injuries to consist of a broken rib and a lacerated foot. He was taken to a sanitarium for treat- ment. The accident was caused by the breaking of a guy rope, this being the second of the kind since work was be- gun on the building. ———— Marriage Licenses.

Policeman John P. Scanlan was to- day convicted in.the Police Court by Police Judge Mortimer Smith ef bat- tery upon J. J. Mulvey, a crippled newsboy with whom Scanlan quarreled over a bet on the Britt-Corbett fight. Mulvey lost the bet, according to the testimony heard by Judge Smith, and Scanlan made a demand for the coin. The loser asked for delay, saying he did not have, the money with him. Thereupon Scanlan got into a very warm argument, during which some strong swearing was done by Mulvey— enough to greatly enrage the police- man. It was then that Scanlan lost his temper and kicked Mulvey. Scanlan did not deny the charge ot battery, but has justified his actions by 4 ring that he was provoked by Mulvey beyond reason. Sentence was postponed until Wednesday.

The scheme of arbitration to get the value of the Contra Costa Water Com- pany’s plant for rate fixing purposes has failed. After months of labor the special committee of the City Council appointed to name the city's represent- | ative on the proposed board of arbi- trators reported that the plan could not be legally carried out according to an opinjon rendered by City Attorney McElroy. With its report the commit- tee submitted the voluminous cor- respondence had with President Wil- liam J.

President Dornin of the special com- mittee said it had been impossible to bind the water company to the original agreement and also to induce President Dingee to stand upen his first agree- ment as binding upon the water com- pany alone and not wupon the eity. After the report had been read and filed the committee, which was com- posed of Chairman Dornin, Councilmen Pendleton and Cuvellier, was, at its own request, discharged. Councilman Pendleton said he had been requested by Mayor Olney to an- nounce that the Mayor would, in view of the failure of the arbitration scheme, | recpen negotlations with the Bay Cities Water Company looking toward the submission of bids to furnish the city with an independent water supply.

Motions to dismiss the appeals from the judgment of United States District Judge de Haven confirming the report of United States Commissioner Hea- cock, who recommended the deporta- tion of Tsoi Yii, Yee Yuen, Cheung Him Nim, Chew Hing, Lee Yue and Chin Chew Fong were denied. It was contended by the attarneys for the Government that section 13 of the act of September, 1388, gives the right of appeal only from the ruling of the Commissioner to the Judge of the District Court, and that the de- cision of such Judge is not the judg- ment of the Court and not a final de- cision appealable to the Circuit Court of Appeals. After quoting lever‘ decisions of the Supreme Court to show that the decision in of the District Judge in this particular case is a finak decision, the Circuit Court of Appeals says: 1f appeals could be taken in those cases to the Bupreme Court they could be entertatned only on the ground that the decision of the District Court on an appeal from a Commis- sicner’s decision was a judgment of the Dis- trict Court, and, as such, a final decision from which an appeal could be taken.
