TRIED IN OAKLAND
Original Owner Claims He Did Not
Give Up $1,000 Animal
for $500

OAKLAND. June 15.-The suit of
Anthony w. Small of centerville
against John J. Ellerd for the posses
sion of the racehorse known as Ellerd
and valued by the plaintiff at $1,000
went to trial in Judge Harris court to-
day. Small was the original owner of
the horse and gave him into the keep
ing of the defendant more than a year
ago with instructions to race him at
Seattle The horse was entered at the
Seattle races, and. according to let
ter written by Elierd to Mrs Small.
lost $500 in one race and won back
the same sum in a subsequent race.
Ellerd alleges that Small finally
transferred ownership in the horse to
him as payment of a debt of about 5000
due from Small to Ellerd. Small de-
nies this. saying that the horse is
worth at ieast $1,000 and he would not
have parted with him for so niuoa less.
The witnesses in the case who
gathered at the trial today numbered
more thsn & score. The taking of tes-
timony gas net concluded today.

ALAMEDA COUNC|LMEN
DECIDE AGAINST RAISE
Employees of City Must Be
Content With Their
Old Salaries

ALAMEDA. June 15.-with few
exceptions the employees and officials
of the municipality who have asked
for an increase in pay will be disap-
pointed, for the city council has vir-
tuaIly decided that there will be little
if any Increase in the coming tax levy,
and therefore no provision made for an
advance in the compensation of mu-
nicipal servants. OF the few who may
receive an increase are City Attorney
M. W. Simpson and Chief of Police
John Conrad. Each of these officials
is in receipt of S125 month and both
are scheduled for a raise of SIS a
month.
The request of Chief Fred K Krauth
of the fire department for an increase
in his pay from $3.50 to s175 and for an
increase in the pay of the regular fire.
men from $50 to a1o0 a month Is listed
for tabling, as Is also the request of
Chief of Police John Conrad for five
more patrolmen end for an increase in
the pay of the regular patrolmen from
$50 to 500 a month. The request Of
the calf men OF the fire department
that they be allowed SIS a month
while serving as truckmen and $50 a
month for hosemen will be denied.
The city council does not believe that
it would be well to inaugurate the
first year of the new charter with a
high tax rate and Is therefore pruning
estimates with the view of fixing the
coming tax levy at s1-28 on each 500
of assessed valuation, the same as the
last tax levy. The new levy will be on
a total assessed valuation of s15,000,0 600,
and will raise $4,000. Last year the
total assessed valuation was less and
the total amount raised by taxation
was $172,oO0.
The several municipal departments
have this year asked for a total of
$2S6,000. In order to raise this amount,
if II were allowed, a tax rate of s1.91
would have to be levied. The city
council will meet in executive session
next Thursday night to consider the
estimates and 1t is possible that the
tax rate will be definitely determined
at that time.
