That it held the only possible title to the strip beyond that low-water line through a franchise obtained from the city of Oakland. It argued that in the absence of any other machinery such a franchise, being made mandatory upon the city of Oakland by its articles of in- corporation, was the only title obtain- able from the State. JUDGE MORROW’'S VIEWS, Judge Morrow holds: 1. That the western boundary of the Southern Pacific water-front lands is the preseat low-water line as determined by the United States bulkhead line; that within this the Southern Pacific holds in fee simple and hence the Western Pa- cific is a trespasser. Z That beyond that line the Southern Pacific has right of access to deep water from “which the Western Pacific cannot deprive it. The Judge arrives at his decision upon PITTSBURG, March 19.—James W. Friend, who was friendly to Mrs. Cassie Chadwick to the extent of $800,000 on the strength of her bogus securities; president of the Pressed Steel Car Com- pany; vice president of the Farmers' National Bank of Pittsburg; president of the German National Bank of Alle- gheny, and director and leading man in thirty other rittsburg financial institu- tions, and Frank W. Hoffstot, vice pres- ident of the Pressed Steel Car Company, partner of Friend in nearly all of his business relations, and brother-in-law of Harry Phipps, have been sued by the heirs of William C. Jutte, the coal king, who died a suicide. It is alleged that, by conspiracy and fraud, Friend and Hoffstot obtained possession of real estate and securlties of a face value of more than $4,000,000¢ and have taken every dollar Jutte -had in payment of a loan of $200,000, which, they are alleged to have admitted, has been repaid.
