city in the waterfront case in course of
trial before Judge Odgen have fooled the
railroad attorneys in their attempt to in
troduce another bit of "doctored" evil
dence. 1t VIII be remem bered that the
railroad attorneys few weeks ago
propped up their case by decision of the
Supreme Court The ci;y's attorneys have
often seen that decision. but had never
seen il worded in exactly the same manner.
This led to a careful in vestigaton, which
disclosed the fact that the decision had IN
some unaccountable manner been tam
pered with, and stranger still. tempered
with in such a way that it might have
materially aided the waterfront company
if the "nisIaks'' had not been discovered.
Last Wednesday the railroad attorneys
introduced in evidence a map Of the tide
land survey in order TO prove that Oat-
land is not the only place at which the
State disposed OF water lots. The city's
attorneys examined the map and diScov-
cred, owing TO the thiuuess Of the paper
in one part, that something had been
ceyeriy erased, perhaps by the use Of
chemicals. Civil Engineer Aliardl, who
was on the stand tes,liylng with reference
10 be map. was not aware that anything
had been erased, and he was told 10 look
the matter up by referring TO the official
lmprints of lne map.
Yesterday, Mr.. Ailardt reported that
the erased portion of the map contained
The following words: This line shows
the encroachment of the naYigable waters

line, describing the boundary set forth as
above in San Francisco and San Pablo
bavs.
The sign jficance of this is that if the
tide lands had been carried out as far as it

worry Sheriff MeKillican because of the

his office. These are Harlow, Hunt and

before he j. again given the nomination by
The Democrats.
Owing To the way in which local politics
are minced this fail in Alameda County,
particularly IN the camp Of the Repubii-
cans, the Democrats think they see a fight
ing chance 10 elect most of the ir ticket and

Gratis are also becoming more or less AFRO
CANT, and one OF them has stated that

ate trouble, but let me- tell YOU it won't do
any good McKiiican Will be nominated
and elected, and he won't have 10 pledge
himself regarding deputies. He is going
10 run his Office 30 suit himself. and no one
eau deny that he has run il well. The
Democrats are not going To do anything
