Both the Bay District and the Pacific
Coast Jockey Club Courses Will
Be Open.

The California Jockey Club yesterday Sc
cured six months extension on its option
to purchase the Bay District track and the
place will not be closed this winter as was
Anticipated. In consequence there will be
racing at the Bay District as well as at the
new course of the Pacific Coast Jockey
Club.
The competition between the two resorts
will give the sport an enhanced interest, as
both associations have issued programmes
that promise some big events. The fact
that San Francisco will provide two places
of entertainment for lovers of horse-racing
will attract large number of horsemen to
the coast, who will put some good ones on
the tracks.

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
Interesting Law Points In
volved In the Dunn
Title Suit.
FIVe-Mile Invitation Handicap

Entertainments.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. 29.-Some inter-
esting law points are involved in the case
of James Dunn against the city of Ala
media, involving the ownership of two
strips of land, each rs feet, covered by
Centennial and Kings avenues. The ac-
tion of Dunn is to restrain the Street
Superintendent from appropriating the
two strips in question as public highways.
The municipal authorities, however, claim
that the land had previously been dedi-
Gated to public use, but had been illegally
fenced in by Dunn, whose barricades were
torn down by Street Superintendent Frod-
den, proceeding resulted in the injunc-
ton proceeding.
The plaintiff was beaten on his first con-
tention, but suddenly changed his plan of
campaign, and continuance was ordered
to await the arrival of Eastern witnesses
in support of his second contention. 1t
was clai med that the offer of the strips as
public streets eight cen years ago not hav-
ing been acce pied the owner could claim
to the center of the street, and under this
original unaccepted offer Dunn continued
in the right of his predecessor and fenced
in the land The ruling of the court on
this point was that Dunn had no title to
the street.
Counsel then claimed ownership by ad-
verse possession continuing for more than
five years, the offer as public street not
having been accepted until 1890. On the
latter claim City Attorney Taylor main
tains that the statute of limitations does
not run against a municipality for the
ownership of streets.
Sold Under Foreclosure.
Under Sheriff Harlow, as a commits
sioner, sold this morning in front of the
courthouse in Oakland the property of Dr.
William P. Gibbons, on Park avenue, south
of Central, and on the northeast corner of

ings Bank for $12, 1923 20.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,


90s Broadway, August %.
The land manipulations of j. T. Turner,
whose deals have been made in all parts OF
the State, were being discussed in Judge
Ogden's court all to-day. Turner was In
the courtroom and appeared to be the most
disinterested person in the room, as host
of attorneys sought to throw some light on
the transactions that have caused criminal
charges to be placed against him IN San
Francisco.
The principal issue involved is as to the
priority of lien of the American Bank and
Trust Company and the Sather Banking
Company upon dozen pieces OF property
throughout the State. In addition to this
there are the claims of nineteen different
defendants to the suit, including the
Regents of the State University and the
Oakland Bank of Savings. The suit is
brought by ]. J. Pagan, cashier and trustee
of the American Bank and Trust Com
pany, to foreclose upon property located in
Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco and in
seven other counties. The deeds TO this
property were made by Turner to Edwin
Fretwell and also to the bank. The
amount involved is S37, 900 and it is very
difficult case to handle, as there is clash
of interests on every hand.
Attorney Eels, who represents one of
the interests in the case, explained. to
Judge Ogden that the main point was the
question as to the priority of the lein upon
the property. The Sather Bank was a
party to the negotiations with Turner on
the same lands, and there are many other
victims who advanced money or made
land deals with Turner involving the same
property. There is hardly limit to the
complications, and there will be of ne
costly prolonged litigation in all the coun-
ties where the deeds have been recorded.

RELIABILITY OF EXPERTS.
An Oakland Movement for the
Appointment of State
Examiners.
Chartered Accountants Should Be
Required to Take an Oath
Like an Attorney.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
908 Broadway, August %.

$40 DIOdONdS, AuSusG Z0' J
Charles F. Lutgen of this city will go be-
fore the University Regents shortly and
ask their Endorsement of a movement to
place chartered accountants under the
same obligations as an attorney. The
present movement will eventually take
the form OF a bill to be submitted to the
next Legislature asking that a board OF
examiners be appointed and that char
tered accountants be required to pass an
examination that shall cause them to be
what their profession calls for. They will
also be required TO take an oath similar to
that required of an attorney. AT the pres
ent time there are hundreds of so-called
expert accountants in the State not quail
fed to hold such a responsible position.
Chartered accountants are men who
occupy very responsible POSITIONS" said
Mr.. Lutgen, "and several men are in
prison in this State through evidence fur
nished by them as experts. Considerable
weight is attached to expert evidence by
both Jurors and Judges and it is only right
that they should thoroughly understand
their business"
The present movement is meeting with
much Endorsement.

HOPE FOR CoNsTABLEs.
Ex-Justice Van Paterson Gives His
Views.

Views.
The constables and Justices all over the
State will derive ray of hope from the
opinion of ex-Supreme Justice Van R,
Paterson, to whom they have intrusted the
task OF fighting the measure before the
Supreme Court.
Judge Paterson said to-day:
I contend that the act is invalid for the fol-
lowing reasons: 1t delegates to the District
Attorney an authority 10 determine what fees
him an arbiter. The Legislature cannot dele
gate its authority in that way.
Again, the constitution requires the Legisla-
ture 10 fix the fees OF township officers on q
basis of population and duties to be performed.
Instead of doing that it passed an act which is
applicable to every district in the State without
regard TO the duties or the officer or the popu-
lation.
ton in many districts so that the people are
left without peace officers, as the latter cannot
perform the duties without being money out OF
pocket. The act is premium upon neglect OF
official duty. The constitution guarantees to
the people certain officers and the Legislature
cannot indirectly do what it could not do di-
recty; in other words the Legislature could
not say there should not be a Justice of the
Peace or constable in any township.
Ii is admitted the act increases compensa-
lions Of certain officers during the term for
which they were elected. That the Legisla-
ture has no authority to do under the consti-
tuition.
Two or three Judges have declared this act
void as 10 their counties. Solano is one. In
Santa Clara County the Judge took the view
that the act might be good for one county al
though not good for another. The act is
general one 1t has no independent provisions
and on an elementary principle must either
stand or fall as a whole. l am confident the
Supreme Court will declare it invalid.

AT OCEAN VIEW.
The Improvement Club and the Water
Question.

At meeting of the Ocean View I'M
proyement Club, held at Hughes Hall
yesterday, the report of the committee ap-
pointed to draw up request to the Spring
Valley Water Company, for the purpose oil
having mains and MIGRANTS put in the
streets for fire protection, reported as
follows:
At the present time there has been but one
small main put in on Plymouth street to the
main pipe that supplies the city at large; that
all residents residing east or west of Plymouth
street can only secure water at the manholes,
the one ON Capital street near Sycamore, and
Orizaba. All other residents residing east
west, north or south Of these manholes have
to lay private water-pipe from 100 to 1000 feet
to reach their property, as the blocks are $50
feet long.
When applicants apply to the water com.
pany for water at their office, they are told that
there are so many tops already that no more
can be put in at the manhole for fear of burst
ing the pipe, as the pipe is now very old and
almost rotten.
AS consequence the applicant has to beg
permission from his neighbor to tap his private
water-pipe, and If refused he is compelled TO
sink well or to borrow water from the neigh
Dor; that If the water company finds neighbor
getting water, the water is at once cut off.
Many property-owners who have from 900 to
1000 feet of water pipe have from four to eight
others attached to their halfinch pipe, and
can get no wafer WQlle OLueTb are QTaWlnX.
AS for fire protection, we have none whatever.
In case of fire, and we have had large
number of them, all that can be done is to
seek safety for the family, II that is possible,
and then stand and look at the destruction Of
your property.
The committee reported that it had re-
ceived semi-official information from the
Fire Commissioners that they were ready
to furnish steam fire-engine just as soon
as mains were put in and hydrants estab-
lished where necessary.
The committee was instructed to wait on
the water company at its earliest con-
venience and urge its request in order that
fire protection could be obtained at once.
A committee was appointed to wait on
the new Board of Health and ask it to
compel the owners of vacant lots at the
station to fill in the stagnant water pond
that exists there. Also to request from
the proper authorities that branch of the
Free Library be located at Ocean View.

A Burglar From Peta1uma Supposed to
BE on a Steamer.

Be on a Steamer.
Chief Crowley received dispatch yes
terday from the Sheriff of Sonoma County
to arrest George Weirs, who was supposed
to be on the steamer Gold, from Petaluma.
The steamer arrived yesterday, and when
the police boarded her Weirs could not be
found, and the supposition is that he had
given them the slip.
Weirs was arrested some time ago for
burglary in Petaluma and held for trial in
$1,000 bonds. His trial was fixed for Tues
day, but he failed to make his appearance.
His bonds were declared forfeited, and a
warrant was issued for his arrest. The
Sheriff got information that he had taken
passage by the steamer Gold for this City
hence his dispatch to Chief Crowley.
