OBJECTS TO THE
 LITTLE PETITION
The Council Protests AQainSt Changing the Pierhead
 Lines,
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 QlS BrnadMaN Anril Il

SS bTOauWay, April II.
 The City Council laid over indefinitely tonight the ordinance calling for the election of freeholders to frame a new charter.
 The attempt to change the pierhead lines, as already published in The Call, was brought up by Mir. Upton, who intro duced the following resolution:
 Whereas, A petition has been filed and Is |. s. A., in San Francisco. Cal. seeking to have moved landmark and pierhead lines in the Oakland harbor. as established about five years ago by the Federal Government the ef- feet of which change would be to put new perhead lines and all wharves and landings solely upon lands claimed by the Oakland Water Front Company. leaving free water frontage or landing place under the control of the public, Is now the under the de- cision of the Supreme Court of California, as it now stands.
 Resolved, That the City Council of the city Of Oakland views the proposed change with great alarm as against the public interest of the city and the whole public; and this Council does most strongly protest against any would be to limit wharves, docks. piers or landing places to territory claimed in private ownership. thus taking the dominion and con trol of the city front out of the hands of the public and putting it into the hands of indi- viduals or of a private corporation organized change of harbor lines, the effect of which would be to diminish the area of water front now under public control.
 Resolved. That the City attorney be and he Is hereby directed to appear (at the hearing of said petition) in support of this resolution. and the special attorneys of the city in the water front litigation are requested to appear in the same way and oppose any change of pierlines.
 To the surprise of everybody the reso- luton created a warm debate. Brosna- han argued that the employment of the citys special attorney would mean special fee. MT. Hill denied this. and said that the special counsel would be glad of the opportunity to appear without any fee. It was seen that the resolution was not favorable to many. and after a warm talk an attempt was made to suspend the rules and pass the resolution forthwith. This was defeated by a vote of 6 to 4 to suspend the rules, so the resolution went to the committee which meets next Monday night As the meeting in San Francisco is set for next Monday morn ing, Oakland will have no official repre- sentative in a matter that vitally con- cerns her progress.

Judge Greene RidicUles the Jupiter Mine
 Scheme.
It's Stock Not Worth Wind to Blow It Across the
 Street.
Mrs. Inoalls' Attorneys May Now Take Steps to Nullity
 Mortgage.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


 Charles F. Blanding is no longer as signee of the estate of the insolvent Mrs. Sarah T. Ingalls,. This morning he was removed by Judge Greene and the court gave more than a hint that Mr. Blanding had looked out for himself at the ex- pense of his clients more than the law generally tolerates
 For nearly a week the peculiar business methods of MT. Banding have puzzled Judge Greene and interested the attorneys who tried to unravel them. One of the pieces of evidence that seemed to impress the Judge as being not quite proper was that relating to the 5000 obtained from Mrs. Ingalls, in return for the mortgage on her Berkeley property.
 Mrs Ingalls, attorneys asked MT. Blan- ding why he did not incorporate the Jup- tier Mining Company, and he replied that he never had money enough to draw up and file the articles of incorporation. Blanding stated that he tried to sell the note of Mrs. Ingalls, for $125o, and with that money he intended to file his papers in Tennessee. He was then asked if it were not a fact that he had told some body that he would use the money to float an insurance society, and he did not sat isfy them as to whether he had said so or not.
 In removing him as assignee Judge Greene made few remarks. He com mented rather severely on the manner in which Banding had handled the affairs of Mrs. Ingalls,, and in conclusion said: These certificates of the Jupiter Dark Blue Shining Bright Consolidated Coal and Blue Gravel Mining Company Cor whatever its name is) were not recog- nized by her creditors; they were value less; they were not worth the wind 1t would take to blow them across the street The 5000, therefore, passed into your hands without return. I am com pelled to order your removal as assignee and must remark that if you are innocent you are innocent beyond your age"
 It is probable that the attorneys for Mrs. Ingalls,, having secured the removal of Banding as assignee, will now at tempt to have the mortgage set aside.

When Eddie Foy essayed to portray the Strange Adventures of Miss Brown in the play of that name no one accused him of being a good female impersonator nor will any one accuse William H. Pascoe, who plays the part in the present Acazar production, of appearing anything but male. MT. Pascoe's masculinity is more positive than his humor, but the good work of Mrs. Bates, Wallace Shaw and Gertrude Foster does a lot to make the performance go.

EDWARDS DAVIS
 MAKES ANSWER
His Scathing Arraignment of Those Who Belittle
 Him.

OAKLAND, April 1.-The following self-eXplanatory letter was received to- day from Rev. Edwards Davis regarding the Central Christian Church affair:
 PACIFIC GROVE. Cal, April Il. 1sss
 Noticing in the Sunday issue Of the papers a statement of the deficiency of the funds of the Central Christian Church, with which my name is associated. 1 beg to express at this hrst opportunity my denial of any comproms- ing action. l am not surprised that the mani fest littleness of my successor has accordingly lessened the receipts of the congregation. If there is deficiency now, l am confident there was no discrepancy in my accounts with the to the officers of the church financial state ment which was accepted, and voluntarily motion was made and addressed by the clerk to me, commenting me in its fairness.
 As for Mir H. E. Magill, referred to, I can but In justice to him express my confidence in his eXactness as an accountant. In the be- ginning of my successors pastorate in our denominational journals and private letters I have besought the blessing of God upon his abors. The effort of MT. Sawyer to detect a deficiency on my part is only accountable in his humiliation at realizing his incompetency in meeting the expectations and requirement. of such congregation. His prejudiced refer ences to his predecessor has resulted in the bers. resignations from the officers and an alienation Of the former attending non-mem- bership.
 As for Deacon Dodson. such a degree has been conferred since my regime, I not had retained money belonging to the church. He has not entertained warm feeling for fel- lowsh1p Tor me since having borrowed the small sum of $5. which for the past six months he has been unable to repay, nor am surprised at any statement from Mir. Metcalf, especially since l have recently insisted on the payment of money borrowed to the extent of $26, due for some six months past. absolutely deny any deficiency in my deliverance of funds to the church or discrepancy in my accounts there with. I have no alteration to make to my cepted report. If the two officers ment oned will meet the deficiency in their accounts they can more conscientiously attempt to dis cover deficiency in mine. If the church de- sires any further communication 1t would be better for its welfare to express itself through its offciary rather than through the press. It's statements should be specific and not biguousy general. Regretting the manifest lit teness that has brought low work which I have devoted years of sacrifice and interest. am, EDWARDS DAVIS.
