CASTS ODIUM
UPON POLICE
Attorney Eastin, in Argu-
ment for the House Nov
ers, Alleges Subserviency
AN AFFIDAVIT is FILED
Charges That Officers Are
Under Control of Corpora
tions Owning the Wires

Arguments were heard yesterday by
Judge Trout in the case wherein D.
] Sullivan and other house movers
seek an injunction to prevent the Po-
lice Department and the San Francisco
Gas and Electric Company from arrest
ing the men engaged in moving houses
and incidentally cutting the wires Of the
lighting company. While Sullivan's at
torney, c. w. Eastin, was presenting
his case to the court a small sensa-
ton was developed in his charge that
the Police Department, its chief and
his officers, and the Judges of the Po-
lice Court are subservient to the re-
quests and interests of the gas COM
pany" Naturally more regarding the
charge was looked for and it appeared,
hidden in legal verbiage, in an affidavit
filed by Sullivan during the afternoon.
The affidavit recited that UP to the
time of the passage of section 593 of
the Penal Code, relating to the ma
licious cutting of wires, the house
movers were never required to make a
deposit to cover the cost of cutting the
wires of the lighting or railway COM
panies. After the passage of the act
the gas and other companies made the
demand from some of the house movers
and not from others. The plaintiffs
claim that they are not legally liable
for such deposits and aver that the
charges of the corporations have not
been uniform. Furthermore, it is de-
clared that the house movers have had
nothing to say regarding the costs to
be charged. 1t is said, too. that the
house movers have always notified the
corporation as to the moment the house
movers would reach it's wires and were
willing to accommodate themselves to
the comDanys convenience in moving
through the lines.
