DINGEE ANSWERS STANLEY.

fled an answer this afternoon in the suit
instituted by James Stanley against Mr..
Dingee. Frank Moffitt and the Livermore
Water and Power Company. 1t is to test
the ownership of 200 shares of capital
stock and bonds in the latter corporation.
Mr.. Dingee AYERS the 200 shares which
plaintiff alleges were deposited with him
were in reality purchased by him for
$50 900 and that Stanley at present has no
interest, right or title in the same He
asks the court to so decree. The Liver
more Water and Power Company has
filed similar answer also, denying Stan
ley's allegations.
Mr. Stanley, in his complaint filed some
weeks ago, claimed he had deposited with
defendants the 200 shares involved in the
suit and that it had been agreed that he
should get 10 per cent of all profits from
the sale of the shares; that Dingee and
Moffitt secured the issue Of 200 bonds on
the strength of his shares and from the
sale of 100 of these bonds they received
$50 OOO Of which amount only $4,000 was
applied to debts of the corporation, the
other $25. 600 being divided between Dingee
and Moffitt. He now seeks to recover
$500. the 10 per cent profit from the sale
of bonds, and also asks that his 200 shares
be recOnyeyed TO him.

Samuel Stewart, Il years old, and Jack
McChesney. year his senior, are not
the good little boys that their parents and
acquaintance thought. Nearly three
weeks ago these two sChoOlboys left their
homes. and enough facts were discovered
10 show that their sudden departure was
prene ditated. The lads were of a roman
tic turn OF mind and had been well
brought up. The police and the Children s
Society were notified of the lads depart
ure, but were unable 10 learn anything
until this morning, when a dispatch from
Woodland stated that McChesney is in
jail for stealing a shotgun and Stewart
had made his escape from the Constable.
This happened last Sunday, but the ar
rest was not made till Wednesday, when
the boys were put off a freight train at
Davisville. McChesney was taken before
the Justice, pleaded guilty and was held
to answer before the Superior Court on a
charge Of burglary. The Stewart boy is
supposed TO be beating his way back 10
this city.
The two lads after leaving home. ac-
cOrding to the Davisville Constable, start
ed on a tour of crime. and when arrested
were evidently preparing 10 arm them
selves for the purpose of Self-protection.
Some ammunition and provisions were
stolen from the farm of Charles Cuffs.

on the same day a ca Din at Sheep Camp

they stole a shotgun from a. Fissel, near

way toward Oakland on q freight train
when they were arrested. The Stewart
boy got away from the Constable and hid
in the willows near the Putah Canal.
The news of the boys adventures was a
great surprise TO those who We're seeking
for them. They had never run away be-

FAVORED BY THE MAYOR
Mr.. SNOW WAS ONE OF THE
PRIME MOVERS.
The Municipal League Platform of
Progress Will Undoubtedly Be
Carried Out by the Incom-
ing Government.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

Juo ID OdNl " e1E MAJ I'll 20
The result of the municipal election is
taken as an Endorsement of the project to
obtain public parks for Oakland. The
platform of the Municipal League and of
the Republican party contains plank ia
voring parks if the same can be obtained
without drawing the city into some
scheme Of real estate men, and the adj
ministration-elect viii no doubt proceed
to carry out its platform.
Mayor-elect Snow was one Of the orig
inal committee of three TO advocate parks,
his confreres being Rev. DR.. J. K. Mclean
and John A Britton- Mr.. Snow worked
enthusiastically for many months, and his
large majority can mean nothing but an
Endorsement of his plans. After the fail
ure Of the measure at the special election
held last summer it was generally be-
Ieved that a little more campaigning
would have resulted in the passage of the
plan calling for 1920 ,090 of a bond issue
to purchase the Adams Point property
and institute marked improvements in
East, West and North Oakland. That
this idea was justified was apparent dur
ing the recent campaign, for all quarters
Of town were opposed to introducing OPP
position to the park project as an issue in
the campaign.
Mr.. Snow is an enthusiastic promoter Of
this Improvement and he is now in a po-
sition where his advocacy of the measure
viii of necessity have great weight. Dur
ing the last park agitation he compiled
figures showing how lightly the burden
would fall upon the average taxpayer,
and il is known that he is still Of the same
mind.
About three months before the recent
election an effort was made to secure an
other special election on the bond issue,
but the coming Of the municipal campaign
caused it to be allowed TO lapse. This was
partly because of a desire TO test public
feeling on the question by its choice of
city officials. This has been done, and
now nothing remains but 10 take up the
question and submit il at a special cleo
ton. which will doubtless be held this

Bertha sued Charles Jackson in the Jus

The case hung fire for months and
