This suit was not allowed to rest. The Southern Pacific Company, on the de- fensive, went into court this evening with two injunction suits. One was against the American Dredging Company to re- strain it from making further deposits of dredgings on the land bordering the north Jetty. In this suit the Southern Pacific Company took the position that the lands | belonged to the company and could not | be interfered with unless by its permls- | sion. This proceeding brings to a focus the question of ownership. | MORE INJUNCTION SUITS. | But this move was followed agaln this | evening by a second injunction action by | the Southern Pacific, aimed directly at the Western Pacific Company's track- |laying operations. The suit was also | based upon a claim to ownership of the | | lands where some of the new company’s | track has been laid. | Judge Ogden, before whom the petition for injunction was presented last night, | made the orders in the two cases this | evening and set the hearings for Janu- | ary 12, so that all of the litigation will | be before one court. Including the con- | demnation suit the cases were all set before Judge W. | ment 1 | In its right-of-way sult the Western | Pacific Rallroad asks for a strip 100 feet | wide for a four-track road to extend from its own lands across the adjacent South- ern Paclfic tracks near Peralta street | yards to a point inside the north train- ing wall at low tide line. The right of way comprehends the construction of overhead tracks as thence the line is to be run along the H. Waste in depart. where ferry depot and slips will be built. These will be on a parallel line with the present- broad-gauge and gauge piers of the Southern Pacific Com- pany and the Key Route pler. WANT MOLE INTO BAY. The complaint in these nroceedings, filed by W. J. Bartnett and Olney & Olney, recites that the Western Paclific desires to make a connection with its | tracks from Third and Unlon streets to & | bay terminal, and that this can be reached only over the Southern Pacific territory. The map filed shows that the course of the road diagonally across the Southern Pacific and freight lines at the Peralta slip and This would bring the right of way to a terminus a little east of Peralta street if extended to the estuary. There the | connection with the training wall fill would be made. It is at this point that the Southern Pa- | cific Company has been projecting a large | system of docks and basins which would be in a direct line across the point where | the Western Pacific desires to cross with its tracks. It is the contention of the Southern Pacific Company officials that this work has been in progress a long ‘Western Pacific Company. This is borne Southern Pacific Company to-day in mak- ing the issue of the contest upon the question of ownership of the fllled lands. AFTER SHORT FERRY ROUTE. But the struggle Is to a certain extent split in view of the cordemnation suit. To reach the training wall fill the West- ern Pacific Company must cross the Southern Pacific territory. In this phase the Southern Pacific people declare the ‘Western Pacific has a frontage on Oak- land harbor and does not need to go west- ward. The milk in this cocoanut is the fact that if the Western Pacific should be compelled to establish its ferry slip at the frontage on the estuary it would | mean ten minutes more of ferrying than 1s required on the Southern Pacific route. The developments to-day have some- what overshadowed the injunction which was issued last night In the dredging | case. But that has an important bear- | ing from one point of view. It was as- | serted by the dredging company that the Southern Pacific Company's operations were interfering with the carrying out of | the dredgers’ contract with the United | States Government. This refers to the basins which are being constructed west of the Peralta-street yards. These, 8o the Southern Pacific officials reiterate, are in- tended to facilitate shipping interests. The right of the dredgers to continue to 1ill inside of the jetty wall will be fought | out in the pro and con injunction suits. GAME OLD FOR DAVIS. It is a point of considerable interest that Willlam R. Davis, counsel for the | dredging company, s also chief counsel | for the city of Oakland in the water front litigation and for many years has been in | close touch with the question of water front titles. ‘While Attorney Davis has declared that the Western Pacific Rallroad has no con- nectjon with the dredging company, there 1s a strong community of interests be- tween the two corporations in the litiga- tion. The suits to maintain the right of the dredging company to continue the fill- ing along the training wall Involves the very essential question whether the West- ern Pacific Company will hold its posi- tion on the fill. The Western Pacific In asking for con- demnation of a right of way describes a strip 2600 feet long. This strip, as reciteq, runs across Southern Pacific property. The complaint alleges that the company has offered the Southern Pacific Com- pany pecuniary consideration for the right of way, but this has been refused. And the complaint concludes: Wherefors the plaintift prays a decres of condemnation against the above named de- fendant of the right of way hercinbefors de- scribed and eought to be condemned oves the more particularly for the right of way for a railroad of standard gauge and having four tracks and to be operated by steam, fer the carriage and transportation of passengers and freight for hire; that the said decree fix the compensation to be paid by the eald plaintift to defendant and Tllla and determine the points and manner of making the crossings of ke sald raflroad of defendants by plaintiff's rafiroad and fix the costs of good and sufficient fences along the line of raid railroad and the cost of cattle ‘where fences may cross the line of said rallroad, and for such other and further relief as may be mest anf agree able to equity.” GOVERNOR VIEWS SITUATION. Governor George C. Pardee, in company with Charles H. Spear, president of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners; Southern Pacific Company, and Warren 8. Palmer, general superintendent of the same company, this afternoon made a trip of inspection through Oakland Har- bor, and the Governor made a cereful ex- amination of the work already done and in progress, and also the plans of the work which the Southern Pacific Com- pany proposes to do west of the Peralta- street slip on the estuary. Pl:’n ‘were filled mole to the west end of the jetty, | i | ernor Pardee made the following state- narrow- | to the training wall will run | o S, T oy were submitted to me to- yards, cut i i yards, cutting across a number of tracks | 4y, T have made o TRelEN .

The chief executive of- California is thoroughly familiar with the conditions in the harbor, for during his term as Mayor of Oakland he caused to be re- moved a line of piles which the South- ern Pacific Company had placed on the same property now in dispute. fie wished, however, to acquaint himself with present conditions, in view of the contest between the Southern Pacific and the Western Paclfic rallroads, and it was for this purpose that the in- spection was made this afternoon. The party secured a launch, and, starting at the extreme western end of the northern tralning wall of the estuary, made a slow trip up the har- bor, Governor Pardee making a care- ful examination of the space between the Southern Paoific broad-gauge mole and the tralning wall. On reaching a point opposite the place at which the new piles are being placed by the Southern Pacific Company he asked to be informed just what the proposed work consisted of, and by means of plans and blue prints which he had brought for the purpose, Superintend- ent Palmer explained the plans of the company. s SEES NEWLY LAID TRACK. He also pointed out the line of track which has been laid on the fill beslde | the training wall by the Western Pa- cific Company and declared that it had been lald on land owned by the South- ern Pacific Company, but had not been laid by that corporation. After mak- ing a thorough inspection of the plans of the proposed work the Governor ex- pressed himself as satisfled with his in- spection and the trip was resumed up Oaikland Harbor. The party disembarked at the foot of Franklin street and immediately re- turned to San Francisco by train. Gov- ment: “I have not yet given the matter any consideration, having just finlshed my tnspection of the harbor, neither have I talked with any of the officials of either company except in a casual way during the trip up the harbor this afternoon. Until 1 have given the matter careful consideration and have learned just what the plans of the Southern Pacific Company are I do not care to discuss the .question. “While it is true that plans of the work contemplated by the Southern Pa- day, T have made no investigation of I am not In a position to discuss the matter.” NO OPINIONS TO GIVE. Harbor Commissioner Spear, when asked for a statement, said: “The Gov- ernor and myself wished to see for our- selves just what had been done, and also to learn what the Southern Pacific Company intends to do west of the Pe- ralta-street slip, and we invited Mr. Palmer and.Mr. Calvin to accompany us on our trip to-day, to explain what the plans of the company are. The Governor inspected the “plans of the work, which were furnished by Mr. Palmer, but what his opinton is I'do not know. “The first thing that I noticed was a line of track, probably about 500 feet in length, laid on the fill close to the training wall, which I thought had been laid by the Southern Paclfic Com- pany, but Mr. Palmer assured us that this was not so, and sald that he did not know by whom it had been laid, but that it was on property owned by the Southern Pacific Company. How- ever, vou had better speak to him about that. As to the legal title of the Southern Pacific Company to the land | in dispute, that will have to be settled in court.” General Manager Calvin refused to n.ike any statement for publication, simply saying that he did not wish to discuss the matter at this tlme, but General Superintendent Palmer said: SOUTHERN PACIFIC VERSION. “Governor Pardee wished to learn what the present conditions of the western sectlon of the Oakland water front are, and asked Mr. Calvin and myself to accompany him on the trip this afternoon to explain to him the plans of the Southern Pacific Company regarding the proposed work west of the Peralta-street slip. The Governor s familiar with the conditions of Oak- land harbor, as he was interested in the water front difficulty several years ago. ‘“We went over the ground very care- fully and pointed out just what we in- tend to do. What the opinion of the Governor is, 1, of course, do not know. “The Southern Pacific Company is per- fectly willing to abide by the legal issues as to our title to the land claimed by us, and we feel certain that the: courts will sustain our claims. “As to the tracks which have been lald on the northern training wall, I do not know positively by whom they were laid, but I suppose that it was by the Western Pacific. 1 have always understood that the training wall was the property of the United States Government, and that no one had any right there, and it seems to me that it is the province of the Govern- ment to take action in this matter. “Our company will certainly not make any move to tear up the track, or if such action is contemplated I have not been in- formed of it, and did the company intend to take any such action I am sure that 1 should have been informed of it. CHARGES GALLERY PLAY. “It appears to me that the action of the Western Pacific In enjoining the company which I represent from com- pleting its work west of the Peralta-street slip is a sort of a gallery play. They found that they were likely to be bottled up, and have taken the chance of a grandstand play to delay our work, in the hope of finally getting the right of way desired by them, no doubt thinking the Southern Pacific would compromise and avoid trouble.” In this interview the position was taken inferentially by BSuperintendent Palmer that the American Dredging Company’s injunction was in the interests of the ‘Western Pacific. . Southern Pacific attorneys took a band this evening In the battle be- tween the glant corporations, and At- torneys J. B. Foulds le Stanley Moore besieged the County Clerk's office after dark to-night with restraining writs to be served on the employes of the American’ Dredging Company-and the ‘Western Paclfic Railway to tie their E. E. Calvin, general manager of the | hands until the various claims of the difterent corporations can cated in the courts. § As a result of these various injunc- tions the entire work along the north ern shore of the estuary, which has been the scene of nu;_h activity within the past few days, has stop Attorney Tou mf" mmmw‘;:: cific Company, said k4 “The American be adjudi- WESTERN PACIFIC AND | HARRIMAN ROAD NOW AT BITTER WAR OVER LAND \Gould Line Making Desperate Effort to Get-a Bay Terminus Berween the Broad and Narrow Gauge Moles for its Ferry Service From Oakland Side to This City. 7, 1906. has been engaged in throwing up a bulkhead 1000 feet from the northern retaining wall of the Oakland estuary and proposes to fill in the Intervening space /'with mud and sand from the bot- tom of the bay. It has built the bulk- head at the end of the proposed strip and is now proceeding down the side toward the mainland. This wérk Is what we are stopping by the injunc- tion against the American Dredging Company. “In conjunction with the operations of -the dredging company, the Western Pacific Railway has begun to lay its tracks on the main land and fill to con- nect with this 1000-foot strip, and this we have also stopped by the writs, which we propose to serve on any one we may find working there. This en- tire land, we claim, has been decided by the local courts here and the Su- preme Court of this State as being the property of the Southern Pacific Com- pany, and we clalm that these persons who have been prosecuting this work are interlopers and have no right there. “The Western Pacific Rallway already has an outlet to the deep water in the estuary close beside our freight depot known as the Peralta-street slip, and it can run its boats down the creek if it wants to, but {ts present operations indi- cate that it will attempt to condemn & right of way across the tracks leading to our freight slip and then parallél our narrow gauge mole on the north side of the estuary and continue its tracks out as far as we go into the bay. This we propose to stop, as this land belongs to us. WHAT GOULDS OUGHT TO DO. “If the Western Pacific wants a diregt route to San Francisco it can go through Alameda. This, from a railroad stand- point, is the shortest and most feasible plan. There is plenty of room over there, and if it wants to run its freight througn Oakland it can use its outlet on the es- tuary. Instead of this, however, it is try- ing to come in where everything is con- gested, and it will find it has a hard time getting through. The courts have al- ready decided that all of this land be- longs to us, and it will find in these de- clsions an impregnable barrier to fits progress in this direction. “We claim all of the land lying be- tween the Oakland mole proper and the estuary out as far as the low water mark. ‘We also claim all the accretions to this land since 1852. The land has gradually grown farther and farther out into the bsy, and this land we are entitled to, and in this respect this is different from other kinds of riparian rights. Our right goes out with the water, and beyond low water mark the fes simple T presume lies in the State, ajthough the Federal Government theoratically has control over all water ways. RUSH OFFER IS MADE. “The Western Pacific has made allega- tions In its complaint in-the!condemnation proceedings that it has tried to bargain with us for a right of way over, the lands it is attempting to occupy. The only com- munication we have had with the com- pany on the subject came from Attorney Bartnett's office to-day and was placed in my hands after 1l o'clock, althqugh it was probably received some little while before that. This is the first time we have had any ldea of what it really want- ed or was after. Its offer was ridiculous, but we did not refuse’ it, as we could not tell what it all meant, and sent an an- swer to the effect that we would have to have & map showing more of the detalls and making definite what was desired. “We had no discussion as to grades or crossings, nor did we have an idea that they had any such plan as they have now laid@ before us.” It was 7 o'clock this evening when Attorney Stanley Moore arrived at Judge Ogden’s home on Alice street to have him sign the necessary orders, and the hearing for both the injunctions was set for January 12 before Judge Waste in Department 1 of the Superior Court. In speaking on this phase of the subject Attorney Moore said: “We understood that the injunction pro- ceedings brought by the American Dredg- ing Company and the condemnation pro- ceedings brought by the Western Pacific were to be heard by Judge Ogden, and out of courtesy to him we went to him with our petitions for restraining orders. He told us, however, that while he signed the previous orders the matter belonged in Department 1, and he would set our hearings for the same date to be dis- posed of by Judge Waste as he sees fit when he takes the matters up. He, I un- derstand, is away at present in Chico, but will be back next week.” Charles B. Snook, resident attorney of ——e DR. PIERCE’'S REMEDIE:! Bad Stomach Makes Bad Blood.
