JUSTICE EDGAR ORDERS
CLARK CASE DISMISSED
Rules That Evidence Against
Liquor Dealer Is
Insufficient

BERKELEY, June 1.-The prosecu-
tion in the case Of Thomas Clark, ac-
cused OF Illicit liquor selling, was given
q surprise this morning when Justice
r. 5. Edgar ordered the charge against
Clark dismissed on the ground that
sufficient evidence to convict had not
been produced.
Clark was arrested during a raid OF
the police upon the Sequoia club of
West Berkeley few weeks ago. The
club is one Of several organizations
which the police believe were organ
ized TO evade the prohibition law
adopted last December. Clark's trial
following this raid was concluded last
Wednesday night when the jury re-
ported a disagreement. The jurors
stood FIVE TO four for conviction. a
second trial was to have begun this
morning.
Attorney Brewton A. Hayne. repre-
eenting the accused liquor dealer, asked
for a postponement of the trial because
hts associate, Lin Church of Oakland,
was not present. Then Justice Edgar
dropped his bomb shell.
Il do not believe that enough evil
dence to convict has been produced"
said the Judge. and so ] see no neces-
sity for another trial 1 shall dismiss
the case"

INTERURBAN CROSSES
THE HARTMAN TRACK
Suspicion Aroused That
Magnate Is Interested in
Trolley Road
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

PALO ALTO. June 1.-The Santa
Clara Interurban railway company has
begun laying rails across the Southern
Pacific tracks to connect with a sour
of the main line from San Jose to San
Mateo, which has already been laid
along the county road fronting the
university. No opposition to this move
has been made on the part of the
Southern Pacific and lit is therefore
generally believed that President
Hanchett OF the Interurban is affiliated
with Southern Pacific interests, or else
that the electric road has reached some
sort of settlement with the larger cor
poration. Heretofore the Southern Pa
cif1c has vigorously opposed any move
to cross it's tracks, and at the time that
the electric road was being laid along
the county road the working force met
with armed resistance from the South
ern Pacific employees.
1t has been rumored that the cleo
trio line would run either across the
university campus or around by May
field to the rear gate of the university
1t has also been stated that occupants
of houses in the vicinity of the gate
have been ordered to move by the uni
versity authorities In order that the
land may be used for station. site
The Interurban people will neither
affirm nor deny this rumor.

THUGS VICTIM UNABLE
To EXPLAIN ASSAULT
Secondhand Dealer Regains
Consciousness, but Is
Not Rational

OAKLAND, June 1.-No clew has as
yet been secured by the police to the
identity of the thug who yesterday
morning attacked and robbed Joseph
Block, a secondhand dealer, in Trestle
Glen, East Oakland, infiicting injuries
which will probably result in the death
of the victim. Block regained con
sciousness this morning, but his mind
was not clear and he was unable to
give any account of the manner in
which he was injured.
Captain of Police Petersen dues-
toned Block this morning and again
this afternoon. but failed to secure any
information which would aid the police
In their search for the mans assailant.
Block said that he had left his home
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning to buy
lot of sacks from a man who had
come to him to sell them. He remem-
bered nothing from the time he reached
a place near =Trestle Glen and was un-
able to tell how he received his injury.
Asked by Captain Petersen IL any
one had struck him on the head he
answered, NO" and gave the same an
swer when asked il he had fallen from
his wagon. When the officer asked
him how he had received the injury to
his head he declared that he was not
hurt and expressed the wish that the
bandages be taken from his head. After
failing himself TO secure any infornla-
tior from the victim OF the assault
Captain Petersen sent for friend of
Block who questioned him in debrew
but with the same result.
One of the officers who was at work
on the case this afternoon arrested a
man on suspicion of being the man
who had struck down the secondhand
dealer, but the latter declared that he
had never seen the man before, and as
the suspect was able to account for his
whereabouts during the time at which
the crime was committed he was re-
leased, the police refusing to make
known his identity.
The surgeons in charge of the case
still hope that the life of the injured
man may be saved although they de-
clare that his condition is critical in
the extreme. His wife is still at his
bedside and a member of the staff of
the district attorney is being held in
readiness to take statement from
the injured man the moment that the
latter is able to talk nationally of the
assault made upon him.

BYRON. June 1.-WorlS is going for
ward among the members of the board
of supervisors in the project to con-
struct boulevard up Mount Diablo.
Several routes have been inspected and
data secured as TO the cost of the un-
dertaking.
1t is the intention to lay the matter
before the board of supervisors of Ala
media county as well as other bodies TO
secure their cooperation.
The project is one of great proper
tions and will require the expenditure
OF many thousands of dollars. The en-
terprise would prove lasting in its
BENEFITS to Contra Costa county and all
the surrounding country.
Diablo is one of the most historic
mountains in northern California. 1t
towers thousands Of feet above the sea
level and In winter it's snow capped
summit is visible for so miles, The
view from the summit presents an ex-
panse OF country covering hundreds OF
square miles, with San Francisco and
the Golden gate in the distance.
That the construction of the bouIe-
ward is feasible has been amply demon
strated. Capital would soon become
interested and an electric road from
Oakland TO the summit would probably
be built
A magnificent summer and winter re-
sort would soon follow and probably
the government would erect an OBJ
servatory.

chinery expensive and extensive piling

OAKLAND, June 1.-The state OF

caring for women whose husbands
wish to rid themselves of the duty,
declared Superior Judge Henry A. Mel
vim today, when he ordered the dis
charge of Mrs Martin Hosken, who
had been under examination as to her
sanity. The complainant was her hus-
band.
And you. Hosken, will take your
wife back to live with you and you
will care for her WE'LL" significantly
announced the judge with no uncertain
meaning as he fairly glared at the
discounted husband.
Careworn and troubled the wife re-
lated a sad story. She married Hosken
eight years ago. During that time
illness had overtaken her and she had
become an invalid, passing through
two severe sieges and twice having
gone under the surgeons knife.
'I feel no bitterness toward my shus-
band" said Mrs. Hosken after she had
been discharged. "I know that 1 am
a burden to him, but my days are num-

Mrs. Hosken is 81 years old. In
spite of her ailments she bears traces
of beauty and personal charm. The
little nestegg she brought to her hus-
band was lost in unsuccessful busi-
ness ventures.
Dr. J. Hamilton Todd and DR.. Myra
Knox, who examined Mrs. Hosken, said
that they could not discover the slight
est evidence of any mental disorder
Hosken is a cigar maker. The couple
live at 577 Sixteenth street.
