yOn in the Piedmont hills The new
realty company has also taken over
the adjoining Medau ranch and the
ranged for early marketing as villa
sites.
Fernwood was elaborately beautiaed
by Dingee. Its landscape effects, deer
park and elk paddock were among the
attractions which made II one OF the
most delightful homes on this side of
the bay. Several years ago during the
absence OF Dingee and HIS wife in the
East the residence was burned. In
the fire were consumed many splendid
works Of art, OF which Dingee was a
devoted collector.
Some time after the destruction Of
the place Dingee bought and recon
structed fine residence on Pacific
Heights, San Francisco. Later he spent
several hundred thousand dollars on a.
superb country home near Redwood
City.
Since the FIRE Dingee has purchased
a permanent dwelling in New York
City, which is adorned to meet the
esthetic tastes OF the former Oakland
water magnate.
The Realty Syndicate held Fernwood
and the contiguous lands for several
years They have been sold TO the new
corporation Articles OF Incorporation
were filed with the County Clerk to-
DAY. The organizers are Smith, Ha-
vens, Z. A Heron. Samuel J. Taylor and

FILES REPORT ON
CIVIL SERVICE

Tho Cfvi. Service Commission filed
with the Board OF Supervisors yester-
day it's annual report for the year
ending January s, 1907. The report
states that there are at present 1928
municipal employees who have re
ceived appointment under the merit
system and are protected in their pO-
sitions by civil service regulations.
In addition to the foregoing 1888
civil service appointees there are sos
employees in the police and fire de-
partments who came in under civil
service with the charter. There were
also filed at various times during the
year about 200 temporary clerl0ships,

Offices OF the Auditor, Tax Collector
and Election Commission. During the
year certifications for 661 positions
were made.
There were FIVE examinations held
during the year. including those for
promotion from corporal TO sergeant
ia the police department and for en-
gineers in the fire department; pro-
motion from fireman TO lieutenant I'm
the fire department and superintendent
and matron OF the AlmshoUse. The
report continues;
"As a consequence OF the changed
conditions. necessitating the sending OF
many notices for eligibles TO appoint
the office staff The commission found
itself facing the necessity OF perform
ing many unanticipated labors, al
though through the laying of OF the
stenographer the working force was
reduced one-third. There is urgent
need that the position OF stenographer.
formerly held by Miss Claire Johnson,
be again flled."
The commission has reelected Ed
ward =. Moran as president for the
ensuing term and at its next meeting
viii probably announce the names OF
the successful contestants in the recent

WHALERS ALLEGE
ILL TREATMENT

A tale Of I'll treatment and maroon
ing was told yesterday in a complaint
filed in the United States District Court
by Frank Miller George Johnson and
Alfred Carlson against George f. Plum
mer & Co., owners of the whaling YES
sells Charles Hansen and Olga. The
men alleged that they shipped for a
whaling cruise of forty-eight months
in the Arctic and North Pacific oceans,
leaving this port on March A, 1905. 1t
is alleged that from December
/. 1905. to August 10. 1905,
the crew Of the Olga. consisting of
twenty-five men, was compelled to sub
sist on twenty four sacks of trade or
adulterated -four and a little spoiled
meat, except after June I. 1906, when
they had a little deer or bear meat
killed by the sailors while hunting.
From December / to June of that year
the daily ration was an insufficient
quantity OF flour and an insufficient
quantity OF grease and salt. On June
l, 1906. the supply of -four became ex-
hausted, and until August 10 they had
nothing to eat but wild meat, which
the crew had obtained in the chase.
They complained also of lack OF
medicine and antiscorbutics.
Johnson complained in addition that
without any just reason he was ma
rooned on October Is, 1906, on North
Head on the coast Of Siberia, by the
master of the Hansen, and was obliged
to work his passage to this port.
Each claims $3.50 wages on breach
of contract and $1,000 damages for
shortage of food and i'll treatment.
