NO MAN s LAND"
CONTEST ENDED
Southern Pacific Officials
Agree to Abandon Their
Plan to Grab Property
CONTRACTORS REMAIN

OAKLAND, Dec. I4.-Cotton Bros,
contractors, will not be forcibly evicted
from the property on mo mans land
south of First street between Webster
and Harrison street bridges. They were
in danger of having their possessions
hauled OF by Southern Pacific trains
and their warehouse demolished, but
have compelled the Southern Pacific to
halt.
Ernest J. Cotton met representatives
of the railroad today at their request.
The result was that the war was de-
clared of. What will be the next move
is known only 10 the Southern Pacific
people, and they are not disclosing their
plans.
Cotton Bros. viii occupy the property
in peaceful possession until such time
as they are prepared to vacate under
the terms Of their tenancy with the
Webster Street Wharf Company.
Investigation of the conditions in the
territory discloses a state Of affairs
which a dozen lawyers would have a
time in clearing. Former Mayor John
l. Davie, who led a battle against the
Pacific Improvement Company, once an
adjunct of the Southern Pacific, for the
land. asserted today that the title rest
ed in the State of California, and that
no private title could ever be estab-
lished TO most Of the property The
Webster Street Wharf Company asserts
a title TO part of the land, while the
Southern Pacific, by purchase from the
wharf company or from some other
claimant. not only asserts title, but is
preparing to take possession.
William R Davis, counsel for Cotton
Bros, said today:
No matter where title rests now our
clients were tenants. They did not pro-
pose TO be dispossessed in the summary
manner adopted by the Southern Pacific
Company. Today's conference resulted
in an agreement on the part of the
company and Cotton Bros. which will
end hostilities. 1 am not prepared to
discuss questions of title The subject
so far as it relates to that waterfront
property. is too involved to permit OF
offhand treatment. It would take years
OF time and thousands of dollars to
clear the title"
Cotton Bros. say they cannot afford
10 make contest over the title. They
assert that they have won their fight
and Will remain in possession until
such time as they can conveniently get
location elsewhere

ADLER's FIGHT IS TECHNICAL
hestaurant Man Indicted for Perjury
Employs Ruef,s Tactics

Nathan NJ. Adler, accused of periurv
in giving testimony before the Grard
Jury regarding the French restaurant
CRAFTS, is following the lead of the
more notable ones on whom the hand
Of the graft investigators has fallen.
by using every technical means TO
ward on as long as possible an actual
trial OF the charges against him. He
too, has importuned the aid of the
weary routine of legal technicalities
which have been invoked and fayei,
TO a fruitless ending in behalf Of
Schmitz. Ruef. Nicholas and Duffy.
The machinery of delay was put in
motion yesterday morning when s. J.
Thiesen appeared in Judge Lawlor's
court in behalf of Marcus Rosenthai
Adler's counsel, and announced that
Rosenthal wished to examine the
Grand Jury and that a motion to set
aside the indictment against Adler
would be made when the case was
called in the afternoon. Judge Law
lor insisted that the continued efforts
to impede the work of the Grand Jury
would have to cease unless good cause
was shown, and Thiesen stated that it
was not the intention in this case to
renew the quibbling on the points
which have already been determined
but to examine the body particularly
with regard TO the Adler Indictment
Judge Lawlor ordered that the Grand
Jury be dismissed from attendance at
the afternoon session in order to give
the jury time to take up its regular
duties, and set the time for its appear
ance in the Adler case for Monday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
When the case was called yesterday
afternoon Rosenthal was prepared with
the usual motions, one to set aside the
indictment and the other to strike 1t
from the records and dismiss the case
but the promised new features failed
to materialize at that time. The mo-
tions contained all the legal objections
which have been advanced in the other
graft cases, but nothing else. The
case was continued as soon as the mo-
tions were read.

LAUNDRY VICTOR IN
FIRST SK|RM|sH

OAKLAND, Dec. 1.-THE Troy Laun-
dry Of Berkeley. whose manager, A L.
Wolfe. is alleged to have precipitated
strike of the union employees by in
viting the girls to accompany him to
French restaurants to have good time,
was victor in a preliminary skirmish in
court today. Judge Ellsworth an
nounced that on Monday he would SEN

with an egg In violation of a tenn
porary Injunction issued in the case
several weeks ago
Considerable testimony was taken to-
day to prove that Brock had been guilty
of contempt In connection with an or
der restraining the former employees of
the Troy Laundry from interfering with
the recently hired help. There was
testimony that Brock recently entered a
car in Berkeley filled with present en-
ployes of the laundry and in a loud
manner referred to them as diseased,
and stated that il was dangerous to sit
beside them
The allegations of the striking Iaun-
dry girls contained in the answer of
the union, to the effect that Manager
Wolfe materially assisted to bring on
the strike by soliciting them to go to
French restaurants with him, were not
made the subject of inquiry today. but

WHITE SWEET POTATO
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Professor Wicks0n of University of
California Treats of Valuable Dis
covery I'm Annual Report

BERKELEY, Dec 14.-Professor E,
J. Wickson issued today his annual re-
port regarding the distribution of seeds
and plants by the agricultural expert
ment station of which he is director
at the university. He has received
during the last year 799 applications
for seeds and plants. and has sent out
1928 packages by mail and express. He
has distributed 4163 packets of seeds.
A section of the report deals with a
new white sweet potato called Macom-
ber's sweet potato, the original seed
having been brought to Berkeley by
Captain ]. A. Macomber of Oakland
from one of the Ladrone islands in the
South Seas. Captain Macomber found
the potato on the island, was struck
by its excellent flavor and brought
specimens to America. The tubers
kept for eight months while Captain
Macomber was voyaging to California.
They have been propagated by the
university men and according to Pro-
fessor Wickson will be "a big boon to
the sweet potato growers and consum-
ers of California
Farmers are expected to be interested
in new dry land forage plant sent
to the university by Howard Overacker
of St. Helena The plant appeared to
thrive on rock. sun-baked slopes, and
it's growth under adverse conditions
has convinced Professor Wickson of
it's value. 1t is called potentilla.

NOT ENOUGH SHOT
IN LOCKERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Deelaring
that in the designing of vessels of the
battleship fleet the space and weight
assigned to ammunition are so re-
stricted that the ammunition on board
under certain conditions of battle
would in the event of action be eX-
pended in less than an hour, Rear Ad-
miral Mason, chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance, in his annual report urges
the building Of two large vessels, one
on the Atlantic and one on the Pacific
coast. devoted exclusively to the trans
portation of ammunition, and he states
that ultimately there should be one of
these vessels with each fleet.
The lessons drawn from the war
with Spain. Admiral Mason says, lead
him 10 also recommend the equipping
of an auxiliary vessel for use as a
machine shop and store vessel with
each feet.
In explaining his estimates for a
considerably increased appropriation
for target practice Admiral Mason
calls attention to the fact that he an
ticipates that there will be in full or
part commission during the. fiscal year
Of 1908 twenty four battleships, twelve
first-class cruisers, sixty-six second
and third rate vessels, sixty torpedo
boats and fifteen auxiliaries, making a
total of III vessels. This, he says,
represents an increase of thirty-eight
vessels over that of the present fiscal
year.
Special attention is called to the
Iowa. Brooklyn and other vessels, and
Admiral Mason says that unless they
are equipped with modern guns,
mounts and sights that they can no
longer be considered effective vessels
and fit for service.
On the subject of armor it is stated
that the standard of quality by the
bureau is still not in a most satisfac-
tory manner. while experiments with
high explosives such as bursting
charges for shell have progressed so
far as to justify the experiments that
such an explosive can be adopted in
the near future
