MOVES AGAINST
LAND RAFFLES
George Fl. Moore Causes Ar
rest of J. j. Darrell for
Aiding a Lottery Scheme
SAYS HE WON PROPERTY
Claims He Held the Winning
Ticket, but Could Find
No One to Give Him Deed

]. ]. Darrell, who conducts a real es-
tate office in the Examiner building,
was arrested yesterday on complaint
of George H. Moore on a charge of
aiding and abetting a lottery. The
charge is a common one, but the case
against Darrell is based on allegations
that are far from commonplace and if
proved will establish the existence of,
and at the same time, put to end an
other get-rich- quick scheme.
Moore alleges that Darrell is the lead
er of a number of conspirators that
have been conducting a rattle in which
supposed to be the prizes, the tickets
for the drawing being numbered to cor
respond with those issued by a lottery
company, the winning of the prize be-
ing governed by the lucky number of
the lottery. Moore says that he invest
ed in the house and lot scheme and To-
one morning he found that he had
won a valuable piece or property ON
Eighteenth street.
He forthwith set out to obtain a deed
to the property, but could find n" one,
he says, that would undertake tie re-
sponsibility of executing such an in
strument Then he says, he heard that
Darrell was the posSeSSor of $4,000 that
had been paid in for tickets on the
property he had Won," so he made a
demand for this sum. in lieu of the
property. Darrell, he alleges, refused to
see things in his light and denied in
terest in the property-raffie scheme.
Then Moore went in search of a law
yer He employed Attorney w. D.
Grady to handle his case. Grady placed
the case before the Attorney General
and obtained his permission to bring
suit under the statutes to declare the
property involved in the rattle forfeited
to the State. Looking farther, Grady
says he found that several other pieces
of land fall under the forfeit statute
and he will proceed against them also.
A big piece of land near ,Napa, Grady
says, is now up for rattle and this will
come under the law.
This end of the case provided for,
Grady and his client went in search Of
a warrant. After listening to the al
legations warrant for DarrelPs arrest
was issued by Judge Cabaniss and De-
tectives O'Dea and Mulcahy took the
accused into custody. He soon regained
his freedom, however, on $500 bail
George D. Collins acting as his attor-
ney.
Mr. Collins said last evening that his
client had no fear as to the outcome
of the case and that the legitimacy of
the stand taken by Darrell would be
fully established when the, case came
up for hearing.

The International Stereotypers' and
Electrotypers' Union Of North Ameri
ca at it's meeting in New York has
just honored its president, James J..
F'reel. by re-electing him by a hand
some majority for a third term. He
was chosen the first time by acclama-
ton and on the other occasions when
he ran for office he received a fiatter-
ingly large vote, showing the great
confidence placed in him by the vast
army Of his fellow wOrkmen.
I Mr.. Freel has been identified with
union labor work for more than thirty
years and his record is an enviable
one There is scarcely a labor leader in
this country, Canada or England bet
ter known or more respected than he.
He has always been a believer in a
peaceful settlement Of. affairs pertain
ing To his union and. his work as an
arbitrator has won for him the con-
fidence. Of both employers and en-
ployes in nearly every large city of
this country.
Among the great strikes settled by
Mr.. Freel were the Pittsburg difficulty,
the New York Sun trouble and the
great strike in Chicago some years
ago. AS an arbitrator of these difficult
ties. Mr. Freel was brought into the
confidence Of the managers and pro-
prietors Of many big dailies and his
efforts in behalf of peace did much to
make him the lifelong friend of many
great men.
ME-. Freel has never been in this city
but he has often expressed longing
to see the Pacific Coast and will prob
ably journey out here soon. He will
be royalty received by the local labor
unions when he arrives.

CONTRA COSTA
DIRECTORS SUED
Stakeholder Charges That
President Dingee Has
MisapprOpriated S295,OOO

AS a stockholder of the Contra Costa
Water Company, Jeanne d. Center
charges that William ]. Dingee, presi-
dent of the, corporation, with the as
sistance of the other directors, has mis-
appropriated 1926, 900 of the company's
funds. By her attorneys, Baggett
Jones & Sheridan, she yesterday filed
an action for the recovery of that SUM
in damages for all of the owners of
shares.
The basis Of the suit is found in a
resolution Of the directors of the COM
pany on April z, 1903, declaring that
questions had arisen as to the validity
of the title of the Contra Costa Com
pany to its realty and many suits were
threatened, therefore 100000 should be
put aside and placed in Dingee's hands
and expended, all or in part, for the
purchase of adverse titles and the COM
promise of prospective litigation. On
the same date another resolution was
adopted approving the report of Presi-
dent Dingee that he had already ex-
pended 1926, 600 for the purposes men
toned.
The plaintiff alleges, on her informa-
ton and belief, that no question what
ever had arisen as to the validity of the
titles of the Contra Costa Water Com
pany to any of its realty or other hold
ings and that no suits were ever threat
ened. and she believes that no part of
the 1895, 900 was ever paid out for the
purposes enumerated.
She declares that she demanded of
the secretary of the corporation that
he exhibit vouchers for the expendi-
lures, but he told her that he had none
that the only authority for the pay
ment of the money was contained in
the resolution Of the directors. For
thirty days prior. to the beginning of
this action, she says. she has demand
ed of the board of directors that they
institute the suit, but the board re-
fused.
The defendants named in the action
besides the company are the directors
William j. Dingee. Charles c. Bemis,
Thomas II. Pheby. H. G. Stevenson, A.
H. Winn and A. w. Rose. The company
is capitalized at s6,000,000.

Had at Reasonable Cost, Inaug-
urated With Ceremony.

A worthy innovation was inaugural
ed by the Y. NJ. c. A. yesterday when
its Triangle Tavern was auspiciously
opened with religious ceremony and
song and rejoicing. The aim of the

various educational classes.
At the commencement of the open
ing exercises the Rev. George c. Ad-
ans, d. D., pastor of the First Con-
gregational Church, invoked divine
blessing and then & great crowd of
members of the association headed by
General Secretary H. j. Mccoy took
seats at the various tables, when adj
dresses by A. S. Johnson and c. w.
Pike, members of the committee of
arrangements, followed a repa.st
Lunch will be served daily from
