A KIND CONSTABLE: Could Not Crafty Capitalist and
 Lost HIS Fee

OAKLAND. Aug. 2.-Because Robert Sanderson did not have the satisfaction of seeing a deserted woman, about to be- come mother, and six little children put on the street to-day from their very modest home,- he has refused to pay. the Constables fees for executing a writ.
 The fam1lyt lived at 1886 New Broadway and the mother was recently deserted by her husband. Constable Weidler went to the house with the writ issued to Sander son and when he found the mother and little ones without food Ne declined to put them out. He rented little house for the unhappy woman, and instead of putting her furniture on the street he moved 1t to the new home and paid its modest rent for one month. He then went to Sande,son for the fee of $4 and to- night he refused to pay It.
 T will attach his property. for the fee, D said Constable Wedler tonight, for when I asked him why he objected to paying the fee he said 1t was because l had not put them on the street,
 The poor woman owed one month s rent of $10, due August l. and Sandersen Is the owner of much property.

WATER FRONT

MONTHS OF TRIAL SAVED BY
 USING FORMER EVIDENCE.

 sos Broadway, Aug. 2.
 It Is very evident that a considerable portion of the evidence in the second trial of the water front case will be directed to finding out where the tide land was in 1852, for only after this is decided can the instructions of the. Supreme Court be fol- lowed. AS water front lines have been con- siderably changed, owing. to the immense fills that have been made between the piers and the moles thousands of acres once awash are now inside the tide line and are of great value.
 . The retrial of the water front case was eommenced g n before bJudge 0gdebb gnfb to-day
 It was agreed between counsel that the record of the case as. 1t appeared in the again. The last trial occupied about five months. All rights, objections. and ex- captions of each party. are reserved as troduce further evidence in conformity with the recent decision.
 There was a strong legal array present Lair Hill, E. J. Pripgle, H. A Powell and w. A. Dow represented the plaintiff, tn. !. city of Oakland. and A. A: Moore and Harvey s: Brown opened the case TOT the defendant corporation.
 During this afternoon Attorney. Davis. on behalf of the city, offered in evidence a map from the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Office. at Washington D. c, being a certified map tracing that showed the line of low tide twhich the Supreme Court. held was ship channeD as that line existed in 1852, at which time the State granted the property to the Town of Oakland. and when the Town of Oakland granted land to Carpenter.
 Judge Ogden sustained the objections made by Attorney Moore and plaintiff s counsel was not allowed to introduce such evidence nor was the map admitted.
 The court. however, agreed that when the city shows the. dedication of certain streets this question may be reopened and evidence allowed
 decision is reached 1t will be so worded as not to run the line of low tide or ex- tend any artificial fills. This would ex- clude the moles and piers.
 The trial goes on again at o'clock to- morrow morning.
