After reading iue complaint Davis of- fered the affidavits of Marshall C. Har- ris of the dredging company and United States Engineer L, J. Le Conte. Moore objected to the filing of the affidavits “‘on principle and common-sense,” and the objection was sustained. When N. R. Harrls Jr. was called by the defense he admitted that he knew S. Snook and believed he was This called forth a remark from do with the restraining order. “It has this to do with it,"” Moore. “It result of collusion; that it is a miserable, declared | abominable fraud on the jurisdiction of | this court; that the Western Pacific has been all there is to it from the start.” Attorney Davis said he was acting sole- Iy for the American Dredging Company, had received no retainer from any one else and recognized no one else. In ob- {Jecting to Moore's statements Olney in- sisted that the Western Pacific was in- | terested in the restraining order just as every one else appeared to be interested. He declared it to be a matter of public interest “There was no interest to be served ex- cept that of the Western Pacific,” said Moore. “Immediately Joined from laying our tracks, the West- ern Paclfic laid tracks In the identical spot.’ “What you are to show is that the American Dredging Company would not be damaged by the proposed Southern Pa- cific tracks,” suggested Olney. “I am going to show an evil-smelling this court has been im- Was s.oore’s retort. “"We are willing to admit that the West- ern Pacific is interested in this matter,” said Olney; “we are all interested.” WHY HANG YOUR HEADS? “Then why do you hang your heads and * demanded Moore. “Why don't come out and fight in the open?” We are objecting to improper questions and we are not hanging our heads,” re- plied Olney. After many questions and as many ob- Jjections had been ruled upon Harris was allowed to state that he did not know who employed Snook and Olney; that the American Dredging Company was Incor- porated under the laws of the State of California and that the company built the bulkhead running northerly 1000 feet from the west end of the north training wall of the harbor; that the American Dredg- ing Company paid for the wora, but ex- pected to be compensated, in part at least, by the Western Pacific. ‘Who pays for the debris?”’ demanded Moore “That is immaterial,” interrupted Da- vis. “Owgers of tide lands and marsh lands may wish to compensate the com- pany.” “It is not a question of owners ot land,” declared Moore. “The question is that the Western Pacific fomented the whole matter and the jurisdiction of this court has been imposed upon by trick, fraud and device.” “The land belongs to the people of the Btate of California,” said Olney. “The Western Pacific has applied for a fran- chise to the city of Oakland and the State has delegated to the city the right to grant such franchises. .That being the case, the Western Pacific had the right to negotiate with anybody to deposit the spoils where they would be of the great- est public benefit. This matter of filling up1 State lands is not material in this suit.” Moore declared that such “misieading declamation” was for the newspapers and “people who had their ears to the ground” and that the Southern Pacific was not occupying a foot of ground with- out full authority. Attorney Snook suggested that it was unusual for the Southern Pacific to wish to prevent the occupying of State lands. Frequently interrupted, objections and arguments of a similar character, Harris said that his dredger was now dredging on section A of the contract which was at the mouth of the harbor and that the debris was being deposited on the strip 1000x7300 feet north of the training wall. He sald that section A would be com- pleted In about two weeks and that sec- tion B, beginning at the west end of the training wall, would be begun. The dredger, he sald, would work westerly at the rate of 1000 feet a month, and that it wouwd take therefore six or seven months to reach tne east end of the wall. He told of the trestle bullt by the South- ern Pacific to within 100 feet of the fil and of his belief that the company in- tended to bulld and gperate a road on_iae fill. This, he said, would greatly inter- fere with his plans. Moore admitted that the company in- | tended to, and would have bullt on-the fili had it not been for the restraining or- der, but he sald it was not the inten- tion to run to the end of the fill. When court adjourned Olney asked that further hearing go over till next week, as the injunction proceedings would be heard in the Federal courts Monday, but Moore objected and asked for a night ses- sjog. This was denled and the case was continued till to-morrow morning at 10 o'cloek, - PETIe. e FIGHT IN THE OPEN COUNTRY, Southern Pacific Obstructs W, - eific in Town of u-h:-':.". o OAKLAND, Jan. 12—Carrying out its campaign of blocking its rival at every possible point, the Southern Pacific Com- pany this morning constructed a line of track in Melrose, which, reaching from the Southern Pacific right of way to East Fourtecnth street, runs squarely across two of the lines which have been run by the cngineers of the Western Pacific, as a podsible route of the road. The work of laying the mew track was begun this morning by a force of 15) men, under the direction of Thomas Ahern, foreman of construction for the Southern Pacifie Company, and was completed before night. The new track, which has been laid os- tensibly to accommodate ofl cars, been placed across a large tract of land between Sather and Melrose stations, im- mediately opposite the big oil storage tanks near the latter place. It is con- nected with the main line and runs to THE S/ N FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1906. I COLLISIO Carelessness of Motorman on the Ellis Street Line NO ONE IS INJURED Two Passengers Escape by Jumping Before the Ter- rific Impact Takes Place California-street car No. 27, running on Jones street between O'Farrell and Mar- ket, was smashed almost Into kindling wood about 7:30 o'clock last evening in a collislon with car No. 1402 of the Ellis street line. Both stanchions and the seat on the rear of the car were smashed into small pieces, while all the windows were broken and the rear axle was bent almost into the shape of the letter S. The car wag thrown from the track and that no e was hurt is attributed to the fact that only two passengers were on the Jones-street car, and they wére on the opposite side of the vehicle. The Jones-street car, which had the right of way, came to a full stop at the corner of Ellis street, and the gripman, Harry Edghill, after ringing his bell, started to cross the track when the heavy electric car of the Ellis-street line after we were en- | that such matters had nothing to | shows that this suit is the | came crashing into it at full speed. Edg- hill saw what was coming and tightened his grip on the cable, which threw the car forward several feet, but not far enough to prevent the collision. Several witnesses, who were standing on the sidewalk at the time of the acci- dent, condemn Motorman Stout of the Ellis-street car for his recklessness, and all say that had he made the slight- est effort to stop his car the accident could have been prevented. The two pas- sengers of the Jones-street car, a man and a woman, left the scene of the acci- dent before the conductor could get their names. Gripman Edghill, when seen last even- ing, made the following statement: “We were on our downtown trip and when we reached Ellis street I brought the car to a full stop and rang, the bell before attempting to cross the street. The Ellis-street car, also inward bound, was about half a block away and coming very slowly, but it increased its speed as it neared Jones street instead of coming to a full stop, as the orders require. I saw that we were going to collide and tight- ened the grip on the cable in order to throw the car as far forward as possible, but the few feet I gained did not prevent the collision. Had the motorman made any attempt to stop his car the collision could have been averted. The Ellis-street car sustained no Injurles except a broken window."" -—_ street, or the San Leandro road, being laid between Austin and Jackson avenues. As soon as the new track, which was simply lald on the surface of the ground and was not even ballasted, was complet- ed, a train of freight cars was run on the new spur, where it is probable they will remain for some time. The spur is con- slderably more than a quarter of a mile in length. Although it {s known that the new line of track crosses two of the lines surveyed by the engineers of the Western Paclfic Company, it is not, certaln that the offl- clals of the Gould road ever had any in- tention of using either of these lines as the route of the road, for three other lines halve since been surveved on the northern side of the San Leandro road and any one of these may be selected as the route of the Western Paclfic, as all of the lines run through territory where the Southern Pacific will be unable to interfere with its rival. Much excitement was caused among residents of Melrose this morning when the construction crew began its work, Pacific was taken as a proof that the ew road intended to enter Oakland by a route located between East Fourteenth street and the Southern Pacific right of way, which would bring it straight through the heart of the most thickly settled portion of the district. ‘When questioned as to who owned the property on which the new track was be- ing laid, Foreman Ahern said: “The land on which we are laying this track is the property of the Southern Pa- cific Company, and was purchased for the yery purpose to which it is now being put, that is, as a location for spur tracks for the accommodation of oil and freight cars which are of necessity set out near the tanks on the south side of our right of gAKLAND, Jan. 12.—Deputy United States Marshal George Burnham to- night served the restraining orders on W. 8. Palmer, general superintendent, and A. W. Baker, as: ant division su- perintendent of the Southern Paolfic Company. Burnham sald he had been instructed to stop pile driving by the Southern Pacific Zompany on the fill north of the trah.ing wall, but found | no work In ProgTs there. e e Hart Urges Franchise. ALAMEDA, January 12—W. H. H. Hart, representing W. J. Morgan in an application for a rallway franchise, was before the City Trustees to-night and asserted he had been informed on in- side authority that within three weeks the Western Pacific Rallway Company would ask for a franchise through Ala- meda. Trustee W. M. Bowers declared he had heard the same statement and that the~franchise would be asked for in the name of the Western Pacific. Hart complained that the proposition to prohibit new roads from hauling freight, as contemplated in the F. M. Greenwood application was directly in the interests of the Southern Pacific Company, giving that corporation a monopoly through Alameda. He said he had applied to the War Department for permission to construct a stone pler bridge crossing the water between Alameda and Bay Farm Island. GuyC. Earl, representing Greenwood, sald he would at the proper time be prepared to show the Trustees that the Green- wood project was backed by men whose names would be a guarantee of good faith. The Trustees will consider the Hart and Greenwood applications in executive session January 17. B e v AT WORK NEAR RENO. Western Pacific Surveyors Busy Near Nevada Metropolis. \ Epectal Dispatch to The Call RENO, Jan. 12.—A surveyor working for the city of Reno stated this afternoon that there were a number of surveyors and engineers in the employ of the West- ern Pacific Company at work east of the city of Reno, near the Morrill Addition, apparently surveying for a railroad yard | the southern lige on East Fourteenth and a site for machine shops. He said that their work indicated that the shops or buildings to be erected will be im- mense and that the yards will cover a large area'of ground.

Upon his arrival in the city he will be given such a reception as never before was extended to any person who visited this coast on a similar mission. Mass meetings are being held all over the city to discuss ways and means to extend him welcome, while hundreds of Irishmen are cnrolling in the Gaelic League and children are anxious to sign for a course in Gaelic songs and dances. The Irish people have been thoroughly stirred by the prospeots of hearing this distinguished speaker, and when Dr. Hyde reaches here he will not find San Francisco wanting in hospitality. . An enthusiastic meeting was held in Pioneer Hall, Fourth and Market streets, Thursday |evening, and many rousing for the sudden scfvity of the Southern | SPeeches were made by prominent Irishs men of the city. Officers wers appointed who are to have full charge of all ar- | rangements for the reception. The meeting was called to order by Rev. Peter C, Yorke, president of the Gaellc League on the Pacific Coast, who explained in a short address the mission of Dr. Hyde, and said that the society here considered Dr. Hyde too big a man to come here under the patronage of one soclety, and therefore it had decided to ask not only the Irish people, but all those who cared for things Irish to take part in his reception. “Dr. Hyde is the gon of a Protestant minister,” sald Father Yorke, “and professes the Protestant re- ligion, ,but his mission here is to bring back to Ireland her language and he should be given a good reception. He will explain to you why the Gaelic lan- guage ougit tp be revived. It is now for us to prepare for his reception and raise funds to help him in his mission.” Father Yorke then asked that officers Dbe electad and resigned his place as chair- man to Hon. Frank J. Sullivan, who was elected president of the meeting by en- thusiastic unanimous vote, Chairman Sullivan thanked the au- dlence for the enthuslasm shown in his election and ®ave a short address in which he rated President Roosevelt as the fourth man in the world and sald that Dr. Hyde came next to the President. The election of ‘officers was then continued and the following were elected: Vice president, Rev. Father Phillp O’Ryan; secretary, Miss F. X Barr; and treasurer, Judge Tobin of the Hibernia Bank. The appointment of the committees was left to the president, vice president and secre- ry. uM’&tlng. will be held from time to time until the arrival of Dr. Hyde, who will reach here about the middle of February and will spend about two weeks in the State, during which time he will address the citizens of San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento and Los Angeles. It is hoped by tho committee that a subscription of at least $25,000 Will be raised by -the citl- zens of San Francisco to help Dr. Hyde, the only man who has ever succeeded in bringing Orangemen and Catholics to- gether on any subject, to re-establish the Gaelio language in Ireland. 'The Douglas Hyde branch of the Gaelit League gave its grand opening in the hall of the Belvedere Dramatic Club, corner of Hyde and Filbert streets, Thursday evening: A programme of Irish songs and dances was rendered by the local talent, after which the members of the Belveders ve the first act of “The Noble Out- Club cut,". ‘which was appreciated by all present.

It is tough on us to have to take our own medicine sometimes, but it is only an- other case of the pitcher and the well Be careful next time and get a man who does not play the races. “B. L.
