CALL 18.—Attorney Ed- ward Rea, son of the political leader of | the anti-Hayes forces, appeared in Jus- | tice Davison’s court this morning to prosecute the faction that his father is leading against the Hayes control. | The occasion was the preliminary ex- amination of Chief of Police Carroll, a creation of the Hayes powers, on the charge of having resisted a county offi- | cer. Carroll is alleged to have pre- vented the arrest by a deputy sheriff of Police Patrol Wagon Driver Navarez, whom the Sheriff wanted for alleged participation in the recent ballot frauds. Attorney Rea made a vigorous plea for the Hayes faction and was not mincing In words when he denouced the political methods of the Rea cbntin- gent. Carroll appeared in court accom- panied by ten policemen. Deputy Dis- trict Attorney James Sex asked that Carroll be arraigned on the charge first preferred, that of “rescuing” a prisoner. The second accusation was that of re- sisting a county officer. Witnesses were called for each side. The defense offered testimony in effect that Chief Carroll had caused the arrest of Navarez before the Sheriff’'s war- rant was presented and that Navarez was held in the City Prison when the deputy sheriff appeared with the war- rant and demanded that the accused man be turned over to him. At the close of the day’s testimony Justice Davison took the case under ad- visement until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. v RAILWAY FROM BELVEDERE Deeds for Rights of Way Granted Supposed Western Pacific Link SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 18.—Deeds for a 100-foot right of way through the prop- erties of Mackay and Flood and J. W. Ferris to the Bay Counties Rallway Company were placed on record today. With the exception of a few small pleces, this gives the company a 100- foot right of way from Belvedere to Napa, where its line will connect with the Napa and Lakeport Rallroad. It is the general impression that the Bay Counties and the Napa and Lake- port Railroad companies are nothing but links of the Western Pacifie, which has its eyes on the excellent deep- water facilities near Belvedere Island. b ——— STEAMSHIP PLAN FAILS Line to Carry Japanese From Hawaii to Coast Doesn’t Materialize HONOLULU, Feb. 12.—The steamship combination, which advertised that it would establish a regular line for the purpose of carrying Japanese to the coast has burst..

The board of directors met today and canvassed the returns of the election that was held last Wednesday. The | | aistrict was without friends and with- out finances and even the office holders in the organization joined in the vote against the further perpetuation of the district. It has been an irrigation district for seventeen years, but a waterless one, as private corporations own the canal systems and voters defeated every proposition to issue bonds whereby a great public owner- ship system of ifrigation could be de- veloped. The directors for seventeen years have been virtually at the head of only a dusty district and as time went by legal complications grew up that made it important to wipe out the organiza- tion. It was worse than useless, being a means of confusing real estate titles. The district embraced 275,000 acres in Southern Fresno County.

The lands in the vicinity of Diamond Head have been surveyed so that the United States engineer in charge of the Government work in these islands might.commence the actual work of installing batteries. At present there is a sum of $260,000 availablé. The surveyors were em- ployes of the Territory of Hawail and their services were contributed by the Territory to the United States engineer. ‘While the surveyors were at worl two Japanese, dressed as if they might be laborers, were seated about half way to the summit and were watching through field glasses the work of the engineers as they surveyed the adjacent country.

GOLBY 15 APPOINTED Selected by Dinan to Succeed Captain Duke, Who Resigned |[FAVORED BY LEAHY But One Police Commis- sioner Consulted Before Vacancy Is Filled Instead of having a meeting vester- day, as was expected, with the Board of Police Commissioners, Chief of Po- lice Dinan took an automobile ride with Commissioner Leahy, and on his re- turn to his office astonished everybody | by announcing the fact that Captain | Harry H. Colby of the southern station | would be on hand this morning in the chair of the, captain of detectives, suc- | ceeding Captain Duke. While Colby had been discussed as a possibility It was known that he had sald he did not want the job, and Commissioners as well as police captains expected to be consulted as to who should be Duke’s successor. “I appointed Henry H. Colby to the position of captain of detectives. I had no meeting with the Commission- ers, and I did not consult any one else. I have the authority to name Duke's | successor, and T éxercised it sald Chief Dinan yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock, after having spent almost the entire afternoon with Police Com- missioner “Doc” Leahy in an automo- bile trip about town. It is declared that there may be ex- cellent reasons for Leahy)s not wishing | to be identified with the arbitrary plac- | ing of a new man in so important a post. None of the other Commissioners knew a thing about the matter. They had not been consulted nor their wishes learned. Perhaps, it is said, Leahy does not care to appear too prominently as the power behind what is generally re- garded as a peculiar cholice. | Commissioners Creswell, Umbsen and | Hagerty had expected to be consulted. | Umbsen said a few days ago that while | the _power to appoint a captain of de- | tectfves rested nominally with the chief, it was but reasonable to expect that that officlal would consult the board on whose continued favor Di- nan's position depends. While Dinan may appoint whom he pleases as cap- tain of detectives, the Commissioners | may appoint whom they please as chief. | But Jerry Dinan apparently feels sure | of his position, for he failed to con- | sult any one except Leahy. ‘A meeting’ was planned for yvesterday afternoon, at which the Police Com- missioners were to meet the various police captains, from whose ranks the new detective captain must come, and the detective sergeants, who are more ‘han any others immediately concerned in the appointment of one who shall be their “boss.” But the . meeting was called off. The Commissioners will have to content themselves with a dis- cussion of the affair this evening after | Colby has been ‘“on the job” a day. | Commissioner Creswell was surprised at the suddenness of the appointment, ! but sald that Colby would have been | his choice anyway. Commissioner Umbsen would not bé interviewed, bat it Is understood does not like the ap- pointment. The record of Captain of Detectives Colby is notable chiefly for its unevent- fulness. He has had no experience as a criminal hunter and has been con- nected with no notable case. Many of the years of his association with the Police Department have been spent at the desk of the complaint bureau. In brief, Captain Colby’'s record fol- lows: Appointed patrolman April 13, 1880; sergeant, 1889; lleutenant, 1902; captain, September 29, 1905. He has| been in command of the Southern sta- tion. N Captain Duke will assume command this morning at the Southern station, exchanging positions with Colby and losing $75 per month in the reduction which he sought because of the harass- ing methods employed by his superiors and the encouraged insubordination o some of his detectives. e SN BT E S A “GENTLEMEN THUGS" IN CUSTODY OF POLIGE Three Men Wanted for Holdups About the Pan- handle Captured The three footpads who are known to the police of the Park station as the “gentlemen hold-up artists” are be- lleved to be safe behind the bars. Early Monday morning Officer Henry Johnson of the Park station took into custody William Mullaney, Willlam Donohoe and John Roach, three men whose ap- pearance tallied with the descriptions of the footpads. Late last night Adolph Reuben, the head waiter at Tait's Cafe, who was politely separated from his valuables on February 12, and a bar- keeper in the saloon at Broderick and Haight streets whicn was entered the same evening, positively identifiled the men as the perpetrators of the crimes. The men are now being held at the Park, O'Farrell and Bush street sta- tions and the police believe they have a clear case against them. EDWARD BREAKS THE LAW “LIMITING MOTOR SPEED Stopped by Policeman in Piccadilly and Is Much Amused LONDON, Feb. 18.—King Edward was visiting Sir Julius Wernher when his motor car broke down. Sir Julius lent his own machine for the return trip. The delay had made the King late. He Instructed Sir Julius' man to put on power. The Wernher car went scorching along and was just entering Piccadilly, when a policeman, seeing the vehicle coming at a tearing rate, Jumped into the middle of the street and held up a warning hand. “You're going at an illegal speed,” said the policeman, (&!ns out his note- book. “I must take your name and number.” . “My name is Wernher,” sald the king} “the number you can see on the have to summon you to ap- pear at the Police Court tomorrow ‘morning.” ~ The’ king leaned back In the car, | false line of 1852 REHEARING 15 AGKED Corporation Continues the Fight With Western Pacific Company HIGHER COURT CITED Contention That Decision Is Contrary to That in Pueblo Case The Southern Pacific Company filed yesterday its petition for rehearing in the case of the Western Pacific Rallway Company against the Southern Pacific Company, and asked the United Stntosl Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider its dpinion delivered two weeks ago, ln;, which the court decided that the South-| ern Pacific had no title to the strip of land along the Oakland training| wall, which the Western Pacific is seeking to use in order to reach nav- igable water. The petition is a pflnled; pamphlet of about 13,000 words. The signers to the appeal are, in the | order given, as follows: J. E. Foulds, | A. A. Moore, W. F. Herrin, John Garber | and Peter F. Dunne. Should the appeal court deny the petitien the company | may ask the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. The following are excerpts from the petition, covering the most salient| points: | To the opinfon of this court, the line of meas- | urement in the contested strip is found to be the low tide Iine of 1852, as an actual and physieal | boundary. In other words, the sinuosity of the main low tide line of the bay front formed and marked by the turning in and upward of that| main low tide lne along the mouth of San An- | tonio Creek is taken to be the true line of meas- | urement of the town grant. It was our couten- tion that this sinuesity was a false line of mea urement of the town grant. he We think, with deference. that the conelusion of the court sccepting this line as the true measurement of the town grant | should be reconsidered. * * * If the entire water front of Oakland was | granted to the town, that is to say. the very town ifself so far as the same lay between the | boundarfes of high #idé and low tide, [t becomes necessary in ascertaining the line of low tide which the granting statute has adopted as u boundary. to cross from headland to headland. All of this is enforced by the decision of the Supreme Court of th® United States in the Pueblo case. The only difference between that case and this i in the circumstance, not mate- {al, that there the boundary line of the grant | was the high tide line of San Franeisco Bay. | while here it ow tide land of the same water. ¢ The Supreme Court of the United States decided that the boundary was in- dicated by the production of the main high tide line across the mouth of Mission Creek from | headland to headland, and that everything above | this produced or theoretical boundary was fn-| cluded in the Pueblo grant. * - It is just as irresistibly the deduction that the low tide line of the bay as the boundary of the town grant In the Oakland case is projected from headland fo headland. and that it shuts in, as by a fende, all the bay front of the town, | within the corporation boundaries lying above | such profected tide land. * * * If is submit- | ted therefore, with great respect, that the right | of the Southern Pacific Company as a riparian or | a Mttoral proprietor, or as an abutter upon the waterway, to enjoy access and to wharf out fo| the point of navigability under the local law and poliey of the State of California and within the | exposition of such law and polley by the de- | cislons of the Supreme Court of Califoraia and | the Supreme Court of the United States, has not recefved that fullness of consideration and dis- | cussion which, upgn other phases of the case, is to be found in the able and learned opimion of | this court. * ¢ ¢ | We think, with great respect, that the cases | cited in the opinion of the court In the case at bar do not rule the case on the question of ac- cretion as a vested right, s aguinat the opinion of the Supreme Court United the St. Clalr case, and the optnions of tate courts which have gone upon similar lines. * * * We had supposed that a grant of land bounded by a water line would be measured by the water line wherever that water line would be found mi | | is the I exist, whether receding or advancing. The line of 1852 as a fixed and permanent line s inferen- tial, approximative or conjectural. ‘With reference to the court’s decision | that the Oakland mole was not a fence, the petition states that if the mole had been a wharf instead of a solid fill, it would scarcely be asked that the Southern Pacific Company should bulld another fence alongside | it as a line of demarcation. —_—— NAVAL BILL PROVIDES FOR COMLING STATION California City Point and San Diego to Be Assisted WASHINGTON, Fgb. 18.—The Senate committee on naval affairs has insert- ed an amendment in the naval bill in- creasing the appropriation for coal and coaling stations to $250,000, and prob- ably $150,000 will be added, making $400,000 for this item. This money is appropriated in a lump sum, but may be used for comstruction work on any coaling stations now under construc- tion. There will be sufficient money to complete the station at California City Point and enough to get the San Diego coaling station well under way. The bill makes no direct reference to| these stations, but the Navy Depart- ment has already made its plans for the work as indicated. The naval appropriation bill report- ed to the Senate today contains an amendment proposed by Senator Per- kins appropriating $100,000 for a cen- tral power plant at Mare Island. A number of increases in appropria- tions were recommended, the largest of which was the addition of $3,000,000 for the armament of new battleships, the Increase bringing the total up to $12,000,000. The House provision for two battle- ships of the Dreadnought type was not amended. 5 SR P e A TWO BARGES LOST Members of Their Crews Perish When Craft Strike Shore ' HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass., Feb. 18.— The barge Gerard, coal-laden, went ashore today near Highland Light life- saving statlon and two of her crew were drowned.

They were loaded Into an ambulance and taken to the Central Emergency Hos- pital., where a survey of the damage showed Turner minus a part of his nose, one ear and two fingers, with deep cuts in his neck and side and gashes In every part of his body. The razor had literally eut him into bons. Willlamson's injuries consisted of two or three stabs in the head, cuts In the neck, shoulder and side. Turner had apparently held up his end of the battle against the odds of the sharper blade. —_— DEATH FOR INSURRECTIONISTS RIGA, Feb. 18.—The court-martial at Tukum, which has been trying insur- rectionists, has conciuded its labors.
