Dunn Has Warrant Is
sued Charging In
tent to Murder.
Police Convinced That
a Third Man Did
the Shooting.

OAKLAND. June 12.-The police have
verified beyond question the charge
made by Frank W Dunn that a third
man attempted to kill him while he
was in an alteration early Sunday
morning at Thirteenth and Clay
streets with Lee Robbins, formerly a
realty broker.
Witnesses to the firing of two shots
from a pistol aimed at Dunn while he
was on the ground have been located
by Detectives Holland and Shorey in
the persons of Frank Davis, a hack
man, and Joseph p. Mead. a newspaper
business manager. Mead, the detectives
say, saw a man in a light overcoat run
around Dunn and Robbins as they
struggled on the sidewalk and fire the
shots.
Detective Holland to-day located
where one bullet had cracked a window
and had been imbedded in the casing
of Goldberg, Bowen & Co.'S store,
across the street from wnere the shoot
ing occurred. Another bullet plowed
into the Congregational Church on the
opposite corner.
Dunn swore to a complaint to-day
charging Robbins with an assault with
intent to commit murder. Robbins was
released on bonds, his sureties being
Fred Osgood and c. N Wood. The ac-
cusation is made against Robbins on
the ground that though he did not do
the actual shooting he was an accom-
plice TO it If the charge be proved.
Concerning the case Dunn said to-
day:
Il want to repeat that no woman
was connected with this affair. The
trouble is that for a long time Robbins
has been nagging at me every time he
was in liquor. have tried to avoid
him, because l realized he was not en-
tirely responsible, having been an in
mate of a sanitarium some time ago.
II he is insane he should be put where
he cannot endanger lives. He tried to
have me murdered and / purpose to see
that he shall not get another such op
portunity as he took Sunday morning.
His story of the encounter is a tissue
of lies, his denial that a pistol was
used being indicative of the character
of his statements"
Robbins will be arraigned tomorrow
in the Police Court before Judge
George Samuels

OAKLAND. June I2.-The case of Dan

blockeo week ago, was again under
consideration tonight by the City Coun-
ell. AS the Board of Public Works had
officially declared its authority over the
Street Department and had also an
nounced that no extra deputies were re-
quired by the department, the Council
tonight needed the legality of the
boards stand by resembling its action

get the place for him stop there After
the decks had been cleared Of last weeks

cited that the Street Committee Of the

speech suggested that Doody be given
authority over the Fire and Water Com
mittee. Of which the Councilman is chair
man, and he concluded:
We viii see that Doody is both well
Wafered and fired -
President Fitzgerald referred the reso-
luton TO the Finance Committee, which
is composed of Councilmen Meese, Bac-
Gus, Pendleton, Donaldson and Aitken.
Doody relies on the votes Of Baceus, Dom

mendaton TO the Council. These three
votes, with those Of Hahn. McAdam and
Fitzgerald, are depended on by Doody for
the adoption ia the Council of the resolu-
ton.

OPEN BIDS FOR
VOTE COUNTERS
Supervisors Have a Lively
Tilt Over Two Makes Of
Ballot Machines Offered
FAVORITISM Is CHARGED
Awarding of Contract Put
Over for a Week That
Public Tests May Be Made

OAKLAND, June 12.-There was live
ly fight at the session of the Board of
Supervisors this morning over the award
ing of the contract to supply the county
with voting machines. While 1t was
plainly evident that Supervisors Rowe
and Talcott on the one side would be out
voted by Supervisors Mitchell. Kelly and
Homer, the two members by strenuous
endeavor finally had the matter put on
for week, and the two bids, that of the
United States Standard Machine Com
pany at $675 machine and that OF the
Dean Balloting Company at $3.50 ma
chine, were referred to the District At
torney for his inspection.
Before the bids were opened Supervisor
Rowe introduced four resolutions couched
in different terms but providing for the
inspection and a general test of The ma
chimes During the discussion over the
measures Supervisor Mitchell accused
Rowe of having introduced the resolu-
tons in the interest of the Standard ma
chine, and Rowe retaliated by accusing
Mitchell of nlisstating the report of a
committee in regard to the purchase OF
machires. The upshot of the matter,
however, was that committee of three,
consisting of Kelly Horner and Talcott.
was appointed to provide for general
inspection of the machines by the public.
There were large number of interested
persons present, including Clerk OF the
Supreme Court Frank C. Jordan, who
represents the United States Standard
machine, and State Senator Leavitt, who
is the representative of the Dean
machine. If the tests are satisfactory 1t
is likely that the Dean Company, having
put in the lowest bid, will be awarded
the contract. 1t was the contention OF
Rowe and Talcott throughout the pro-
ceedings that as there would be no
election for some time to come there was
no need of being in a hurry to place
a large order for machines and that al
should be thoroughly tested.
