That Is their notion OF Ii.
How well IL will work remains to be seen.
1t is not likely that the fire that is now
burning in Oakland can be so easily
Quenched as all that.
The City Councimen who are against the
people on the waterfront question seem TO
think that the question of Davies title cuts
great figure in the matter.
This Is not so.
The suit Of the Oakland Waterfront
Company against j. l.. Davie, X. NJ. Fitz-
gerald and j. M. Bassett to quiet title to
the property from the west line of Harrison
street to the west line OF Alice street will
be tried on August 10.
Even should il he decided adversely to
the defendauls-which decision would be
farcical-the City Council has no right to
refuse the franchise to Davie for the cleo
| trio line along Harrison street TO his wharf
| because the suit will not affect Harrison
street, which belongs to the city. and il re-
lateg in no way to the land lying west of

They say the drawbridge. over which the

The fact of the matter is that while the
drawbridge Is there it is no obstacle at all.

ANXIOUS HUNTINGTON.

Huntington does not like the look Of the
waterfront war in Oakland.
He has ordered that the Waterfront
Company's officers shall keep closer watch
over railroad interests across the bay.

one, and it is to be hoped that the

from the regula ton track in that it
is straight-away,
The expense attached to making
the track and keeping it in condition

that GOT much more that $50, would
be required to keep the track in con-

Nothing more interesting or excit-

KNOCKED OUT THE LAW.
Judge Gresham Hands Down A Very
Important Decision.

CHICAGO, Dec. Judge Walter @.
Gresham OF the United States Court
this morning decided that Section
II, of the Interstate Com merce law,
which makes it the duty of the court
to compel witnesses to answer
questions put to them by the Inter-
state Commissioners, is uncopstitu-
tional and void. This practically
nullifies the law as the commission
would be useless if the railroad
officials refuse to testify whenever
they please. The matter will be
taken before the Supreme Court OF
the United States for review. The
railroad lawyers rejubliant and are
particularly well pleased that
Gresham made the decision, as he
gained ~ popular reputation by
rendering decisions against corpor-
atoms.
