The talesman ¢ | was J. D.

Deputy District Attorney E. J. Brown had exhausted his five peremptory chal- lenges and Attorney A. L. Frick, for the defense, had one in reserve. not want Dougias on the jury and he was 0.

MARTINEZ, March —Shortly aft- er midnight this morning, Sheriff Veale and several of his deputies captured an unknown man in the freight rooms of the railway station, after they had fired several shots at him. He is sup- posed to be one of a gang of men who had broken into the freight rooms with a view to looting whatever was port- able and of value. It was through Station Master S. Trilley that the robbers were discov- ered. Trilley and his wife were re- turning at midnight to their apart- ments over the freight rooms when they saw blood stains on the stairs. This aroused Trilley's suspicions, and he summoned the Sheriff, who, with sev- eral deputies, was soon on the scene. A hasty search revealed the attempt at burglary, and in searching through the freight room they heard some one moving. Several shots from the officers’ revol- vers impelled the robber to give him- self up. He refused to give his name or any other information. 0LD LITEATO FINALLY CLOSED OAKLAND, March 14—By the recent sale for $3 of an old claim against the Government of Mexico.for half a million dollars for services rendered by Jose Al- viso, one of the old Spanish grandees and one-time keeper of the archives of the State of California, is closed a case which has caused endless litigation in the courts of Alameda County, and the sale also marks the end of a long and bitter legal battle between two sons of the original holder of the claim. The salé was made that the estate of the old Spanish don, which has never been settled, might be finally closed. . The sale .of the claim, now almost a century old and long outlawed, was made on an order of court secured by Vallen- tine Alviso, one of the sops of Jose Al- viso, who long ago was named as the ex- ecutor of the estate. For many years Guadeloupe Alviso, another son, has made the old claim the basis of civil suits against his brother and the latter, finally despairing of effecting a settlement of the trouble, has at last settled the estate and placed a legal obstacle in the way of fur- ther euits. For several years Guadeloupe Alviso has been accusing his brother, who is a for- mer Assemblyman of Califernia, of fraud in the handling of the estate of their father and has been attempting to sell his share in the claim against the Mex- ican Government to outsiders. In one case he was successful in his efforts to dispose of the claim, selling his share to Judge James A. Waymire of Alameda for $100. After losing more than $1000 in"an effort to collect the amount of his claim Judge Waymire gave up the case as hopeless. In the will of Jose Alviso two Catholic priests were made legatees and much time and money have been spent by Vallentine Alviso in an effort to locate these bene- ficlaries, without success. He has finally given up hope of finding them and as the expense of administration was rapidly eating up all that remained of the estate of his father he has instructed his attor- neys, Langan & Mendenhall, to apply for an order of court to sell the claim against the Mexican Government and to close up the affairs of the estate. The claim was sold at auction a few days ago and brought $3. This brings to an end all chance for further litigation over the long outlawed debt. Vallentihe Alviso declares that his brother has for years been living off the possibility of securing money from the Government of Mexico, having Induced a number of people to advance money for actions which always resulted in the same way, & verdict that the claim was value- less.

Morse of Berkeley |Requests San Mateo Super-| Residents of San Mateo In- Is to Provide Postoffice Quarters for $1 a Year RESULT OF COMPETITION New Building in Heart of Town Offered, Practically Rent Free, to-Government —_— BERKELEY, March 14.—Keen competi- tion among property owners of Berkeley who are anxious to house Uncle Sam in the college town has resulted in the re- celpt by the Government of an offer from Mrs. E. 8. Morse to provide new pestof- fice quarters, well located and sumptu- ously furnished, at a cost to the Govern- ment of exactly $1 a year. The present postoffice quarters cost the Postoffice De- partment $990 a year. No time has been lost at Washington in accepting the rather extraordinary offer made by Mrs. Morse. Notification was sent to her today that her proposal finds favor with the powers at Washington. The building which Mrs. Morse pro- poses to put at the service of the Gov- ernment will be located at Bancroft way and Shattuck avenue, across the way from the Masonic Temple, which is being constructed for the Masonic lodges of Berkeley. The Public Library, a hand- some new structure, is fifty feet from the new postaffice location, and with this as a nucleus business men predict that a new business quarter is to be established at Bancroft way and Shattuck avenue. The financiers back of Mrs. Morse’s build- ing project count, apparently. upon the impetus which property values will re- cefve because of the postoffice location to reimburse them for the merely nominal rental received from the Government. Mrs. Morse is to construct a large four- story building, containing stores and of- fices. Work on the structure has com- menced. The postoffice quarters must be ready for use by August 1. Satisfactory heat, light and water must be provided in the quarters, with boxes for rural and- local delivery. A fireproof safe and bur- glar proof chest are required. The lease of the quarters will mot be signed by the Government until a department official has inspected the rooms and pronounced them satisfactory. The lease calls for two rooms on the ground floor, one a main room, measuring 35:6x97 feet, and a second room 40x40 feet. The lease is to be for flve years. Mrs. F. S. Eastman, who owns the building at Oxford and Center streets, where the present quarters are located, asked a rental of $2100 a year for quarters such as the Government required in its last advertisement. Mrs. Morse asked $1500 originally. ———————— L DECHERY 5 PREVENTE Authorities Find Knives With Teeth Like Saws at the County Lock-Up — OAKLAND, March 14.—Evidence of a plot laid for a jail break in the County Jail was discovered this morning in an inspection made by Chief Jaller Percy ‘White and Night Jailer Charles Clark. Two knives with the blades converted into saws were found hidden in the cell recently occupied by James Floyd, now at San Quentin, and an ex-convict. Several bars of the window of the cell were cut almost in two and were ready to be displaced when the favorable mo- ment arrived. Floyd was arrested for burglary and had a number of priors against him. He is believed to have been the ring- leader of a few desperate characters. George Blaker and John Schneider, con- victed of the murder of Tom Cook, are temporarily at the jail under a life sen- tence and both are sald to be willing to take a chance. Floyd's case was called recently and for some reason he concluded to plead guilty and was sentenced to eight vears at San Quentin by Judge T. W. Harris. His cell has not been occupied since his removals and in cleaning it out today the startling discovery of the condition of the cell was made. Once out of the window a drop of about sixteen feet would let a man into the courtyard and a twenty-foot wall would have been the only barrler. JURORS TO VIEW SCENE OF MURDER They Will Go Out at Night and Take In the Sit- uation. OAKLAND, March 14—The jury in the Pembroke murder trial is to view the scene of the murder and will also sight across the street from the public library window on Twnty-third avenue into Cook's store and see for them- selves whether it was possible for Percy Pembroke to have stood in the make up his cash on that fatal Satur- day night. The point becomes important for the reason that S. H. Pembroke, father of the boy, and James Pembroke, a broth- er, took the stand today and testified ‘that it was impossible to see into the store back of the cash register from the position, it is stated, Percy Pem- broke occupied when, it is alleged, he watched Cook. This examination to be made by the jury at night time at about 9 o'clock so that the condition will be as nearly the same as it was on the night of July 22.

Lawlor of San Fran- cisco ‘will preside here at the trial of Albert Eikerenkotter, Superintendent of the County Poor Farm, who is under indictment. At the request of Superior Judge Buck, who did not care to act. Judge Lawlor has accepted the task.| The trial has been set for April 14. The case promises to be one of the most bit- terly contested in the history of the county. The Board of Supervisors will try Eikerenkotter on charges of maladmin- istration of the County Poor Farm be- fore the criminal charges against him are heard in court. This it is expected will place the Supervisors in a singular position, as a brother of the accused Superintendent is a member of the board. At the earnest appeal of Eikerenkotter and his attorney the Supervisors have fixed the opening for the inquiry for April 3. The defense will be based upon a public letter written by the foreman of the late Grand Jury and will be In answer to it. Speculation is rife to de- términe what effect the Supervisorial in- quiry will have upon the court proceed- ing. Eikerenkotter expresses his con- fidence in his ability to win a vindica- tion of his conduct from the Supervisors. SUPERVISOR ARE ENJDINED Writ of Prohibition Issued to Prevent Them Abandon- ing Part of Public Road Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, March 14—Judge Thomas J. Lennon to-day issued a writ of prohibition commanding the Board of Supervisors of Marin County to de- sist and refrain from taking any fur- ther proceedings in the proposed aban- donment of a pértion of the Fairfax- Bolinas road, as recommended by the road viewers appointed by the bhoard, until further orders of the court, and to show cause on March 26 why the board should not be absolutely re- strained from any further proceedings in the matter. J. M. Duke, in behalf of the O. L. Shafter Estate Company, owner of 10,261 acres of land on the slopes of Tamalpais and the spurs branching out therefrom, alleges that the proposed abandonment of the county road in or- der that the new proposed dam of the Marin County Water Company use it, will deprive it of the most direct and accessible outlet from its prop- erty. He alleges that the Supervisors exceeded their powers in passing a mo- tion for the final adoption of the view- ers’ report tomorrow, contending that the petition for a new road to take the place of the one it is proposed to abandon is illegal. Fred P. Howard, representing the Shafter-Howard estates, at the former meeting of the Board of Superyisors held to consider the viewers' report, vigorously opposed the adoption of the report. He furthermore claimed that the Marin County Water Company was npt in earnest and that the proposed dam was in a bad location. ————— FILES CONDEMNATION SUIT.
