GUNS ARE Used
|. IN OYSTER WAR
Armed Men Guard Valuable
Beds for Which Rival
Companies Are Fighting
WORKERS FACE SHO1
Attempt to Stake Disputed
Lands Is Resisted by a
Boatload of Gunfighters

OAKLAND, April 4--Once again the
war over the oyster beds off the San
Leandro water front has broken out,
and so bitter is the feud between the
rival companies which claim the beds
that shotgun guards have been en-
ployed to hold the contested claims.
The oyster war is being waged by the
L. w. Smith Oyster Company on one
side and the Darbee-Immell Company
on the other, and both companies are
determined to possess the contested
oyster beds, even at the cost of she'd
ding human blood.
A few days ago the Darbee-Immell
Company hired a man by the name of
Mathiesen to drive line of stakes out
lining the lands claimed by that COM
pany, which are also claimed by the
Smith Company. AS soon as the work
was begun L. w. Smith sent launch
from San Francisco loaded with armed
men, and Mathiesen and the employees
of the rival company were driven from
the beds on pain of being filled full of
shot if they attempted to return.
The Smith Company has erected a
house on piles, covering the oyster beds
claimed by it, and shotgun guards are
on the watch, day and night, to pre-
vent fianking movement by the CO.
horts of the Darbee-Immell Company.

Professor Jacques Loeb Be-
lieves Chicago Scientists
Have Been Misrepresented
NO LIFE FROM DEATH
Explanation of Possible En-
ror Made by Those Who.
Reported Guthrie's Words

BERKELEY, April 4.-Dr. Jacques
Loeb. whose experiments at the Uni
versity of California in the field OF
biology have given him international
fame is unable to believe that his for
mer colleagues of the University OF
Chicago, who recently were reported
to have brought dead animals back to
life. have accomplished that note
worthy feat.
Before his work at the State Uni
versity here was begun Professor Loeb
occupied a similar position at the
University Of Chicago. He was sue
ceeded by Professor Stewart. The lat
ter's assistant is Professor Charles c.
Guthrie, who now is credited with the
statement, publicly made at recent
session of the American Naturalists
Society. that experiments conducted
by Stewart and Guthrie, following in
the wake of Professor Loeb's expert
ments, had resulted in producing ap-
parent signs of life in animals that
were known TO be dead.
DR.. Loeb thinks that Professor
Guthrie has been misunderstood. He
is unable to believe that the Chicago
man actually made the statement at
tributed to him. The possibility of
restoring life to dead animals is not,
apparently, Within the scope OF Dr
Loeb's belief. His experiments have
been directed to the discovery of the
secret of life, his experiments. with
sea urchins. some of which have been
artificially fertilized under his direc-
ton, constituting an important addi-
ton to scientific knowledge. He has
not concerned himself with attempts
to restore life.
DR.. Stewart, he says, is an intimate

ATHERTON CASE
GIVEN AIRING

BERKELEY, April 4-The Board of
Education tonight received a protest,
signed by a number of citizens, against
Atherton, who was appointed to the
principalship of the newly established
night school at the last meeting of the
board, two weeks ago.
Atherton receives a salary of $50 a
month in his new position. He pub
fishes weekly paper, as ap incidental
venture. and his friends declare that
the structures upon various citizens in
the Atherton periodical are responsible
for the enmity exhibited by those who
would now see him ousted from the
School Department of Berkeley.
The School Department received Ath-
erton's resignation as one of its~Off1cials
in 1901, he having been at that time
principal of the Commercial School.
Charges regarding his fitness as a
member of the department were made
at the time as a result of an argument
between Atherton and young woman
connected with the schools of the town.
Atherton resigned. he declares. of his
own voIition, and he now resents the
statement in the protest filed with the
board tonight that he was once dis
charged or relieved of his duties "for
cause" by the Board Of Education.
Citizens appeared before the board,
in support of a protest against Ather-
toms appointment. Speeches were made
in which Atherton's career was re-
viewed, and his past record was de-
clared discreditable. Atherton replied
in his own defense. The board finally
decided to defer action upon the protest
until the first meeting in June, when
the school of which Mr.. Atherton was
appointed principal will be closed.

HORTON TRIAL
MUST, PROCEED
Judge Denies the Telephone
People Nonsuit and Says
Jury Must Decide Damage
WIDOW WANTS $4,000
Question Is One That May
Compel Company to Pro-
tect Public From Wires

OAKLAND, April 4.-Can a telephone
company be held responsible for ac-
cidents occurring to persons coming in
contact with the bare wires that have
become charged from proximity to
heavily charged electric wires? The
solution may force telephone COM
panies to place more safeguards about
their wires and the question is one that
a Judge and jury are now struggling
with in a suit brought by the widow
of the late Horace Horton against the
Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany for s37, 500 damages on account of
his death from such an accident.
Judge Ellsworth this morning denied
a nonsuit asked for by the attorneys
for the company on the ground that
Horton, when he took hold of the wires
running down the side Of his house,
showed carelessness and committed a
trespass on their property. In deny
ing the motion Judge Ellsworth made
the following remarks upon this theory
Of the case:
The evidence in the case shows that the
wires ran down the outside OF the house and
were not protected in any way. The telephone
had been constantly ringing and II is a ques-
ton for the jury TO determine whether or not
II was not private nuisance The company
had received many complaints and ii is the
right of man to abate private nuisance with
the least possible injury.
If Horton took hold of those wires TO pull
them from the house as it is argued that he
did. 1 think he had right to, If the phone
hao become a nuisance. 1t is not to be sup
posed that he imagined there was any danger
or he would not have touched them. The
fuses 10 protect the telephone from destruction
from heavy current were placed close TO the
ground and afforded no protection to Horton,
who grasped the wires some five feet from
the ground
These matters / do not feel inclined TO take
out of the hands OF the jury, for 1 believe they
proper for its consideration and l shall
deny the motion and II is so ordered.
The trial Of the case was resumed
This afternoon and the attorneys for
the telephone company began putting
in their side of the case.
