TWO. MILLIONS IN PROFIT
DINGEE. AND HAYWARD ARE
IN BIG LUCK. ..~.:+
A Few Years Ago" the Old Com
pany Could Have Had Every

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

The special meeting of the Contra Costa
Water Company's shareholders will be
held tomorrow and the consolidation
with the Oakland-or Dingee-company
will be closed. All the facts in the case
were exclusively presented in The Call
several weeks ago. The Contra Costa
directors controlled by Henry Pierce alone
opposed the scheme, and tomorrow they
will be instructed by the shareholders TO
close the deal.
1t is now figured out that W J. Dingee
and Alvinza Hayward have cleared
nearly a million apiece by their venture.
The general estimate of the amount Of
actual investment in the Oakland COM
pany is from $3.50 900 to $1,700O0O AS
there is no means by which the details
of the investment can be secured, the
estimate is based on testimony given by
Mr.. Dingee before the committee Of the
City Council last year. Should the Con-
ira Costa stock issued TO Dingee and
Hayward came to par it would represent
over a million and half of profit At
present a 500 share Of stock is worth S6I,
and is increasing on the market
In this particular speculation Hayward
has played in rare luck. and but for the
TWO dry years the consolidation would not
have been effected. The extreme drought
of last year made such drafts on the
catchment-. supply of the Contra Costa
company that II. was in no condition to
meet a. second drought this year. II from

ERRONEOUS NoN-sUIT.
Supreme Court Reverses Judge Hig-
gins In a Beaver Case.

An opinion was rendered by the su-
preme court yesterday in the case of
James McGarry. appellant. VS.. Tanner
& BakeS company, reversing the ludg-
ment of the lower court in granting a
non-suit to defendant, corporation
doing a general merchandise business
at Beaver.
From the record in the case it APP
peared that plaintiff sued for payment
of two promissory notes of $3.50 each,
one being assigned by w. p. Smith.
which were executed in the early part
of the year 1896. The notes represent
ed money advanced to the company,
due in six months. w. H. Bakes, the
manager. and Moses Edwards, a di
rector, signed the notes in their indi-
vidual capacities, but it was alleged
the intention was that the borrowing
and agreeing to pay was an act for and
on behalf of the company, in whose
business the money was used.
At the trial the defendant company
set up that the borrowing was done by
Edwards individually, with Bakes as
surety to pay debt to the company.
This point was disputed by the evil
dence.
Relative to the lower court granting
defendants motion for a non-suit, the
supreme court opinion states that the
ruling was erroneous, because plain
tiff's contention established a prima
facie case. The opinion added that ap-
pellants proof in the case was clearly
of such a character as to preclude the

from the court. The unexplained
absence of Billy Bacon, an important
witness for the prosecution, made ii
impossible to make a case against the
accused. The result was a disappoint-
ment to Detective Sheets, whose
opinion of Jameson is derogatory to
him.
jameson was placed on trial for

a Bingham miner, in a Second South

the miner was sleeping off a jag The
complaining witness testified that he

his cash gone.
Billy Bacon was relied upon to testify
that Jameson was the one he saw COM

complainant was sleeping. but Bacon
had escaped the service of summons

prosecution, Detective Sheets, Richard

influence that is already being felt
among the schools here, and is proving
an additional incentive to study those

has pronounced good. 1t is decided TO
retain the collection SO that the chill
dren may get the full benefit by hav-
ing it hung in the corridors of the var
louS schools, where the pictures Will
be studied and explained.
Pictures are being so generously rec
ogniZed as most potent factor in ed
ucation that il has led to public school
art leagues being formed in most east
ern cities for the sole purpose of plac
ing the best art productions in casts
and pictures on the walls of public
school rooms. This movement is meet
ing with wonderful success, and is in
the right direction from the social and
economic standpoint.
The Oquirrh school is the first on the
list to have the exhibition, which win
be held next Monday. In the evening
an interesting programme will be pre-
scented. The Oquirrh school teachers
and pupils are planning to make their
building very interesting on the occa-
sion of the art exhibit. During the
day the pictures will be explained and
