OMAN OBTAINS WRIT
Appellate Judges Stay Prosecution
in the Superior Court

Proceedings in the superior court
against Chief of Police Dinan on the
grand jury accusation charging him
with interfering with the Impeachment
OF Jurors in the Schmitz case and Join
ing IN a conspiracy to open and main
tain disorderly house in Pacific street
were temporarily stopped yesterday by
an alternative writ of prohibition is
sued by the court of appeal
The writ is addressed TO the superior
court and Judge J. NJ Seawen, in whose
department Dinan entered plea of not
guilty TO the charges against him Fri
day, and prohibits them from taking
any further steps toward trying the
case until after q hearing has been had
IN the appellate court on the alterna-
tive writ The writ is returnable July
10. on which date Judge Seawell has
been instructed to appear and show
cause why a permanent writ should not
issue.
Dinan's contention is that the con-
stitution provides that an officer Of a
municipality can only be removed from
Office under the provisions of the char
ter. and that under the latter only the
police commission has power to try
such charges against him.

PROFESSOR FAIRBANKS
TALKS ON EARTHQUAKES
Tells How Land and Veg
citation Is Affected
by Temblors

BERKELEY, June 29-Prof T. w
Fairbanks of the state university lec-
tured in California hall last night on
Earthquakes in California" He has
studied the subject in the interests OF
the state earthquake commission and
in his lecture he included some of the
results of his Investigations. He de-
scribed the fault line, which was first
made by the earthquake OF 1854 and
was renewed last year by the tembloI
of April Is. He said:
In places the line OF fault has af-
fected human habitations, making
ridges like burrows drawn by a great
plow and as straight as any plow could
draw them, parting houses in the mid
die, leaving perhaps one part erect and
razing the other portion, or, as in one
instance near the town of San Juan
dropping the portion of barn some
distance below the remainder. Trees
have been felled to the ground and
springs unknown in origin formed, dll-
ing the basins in the plains and form
ing miniature lakes. In some portions
of land bordering the Mojave depres-
sions of land have been formed, making
possible the growing of grain by rea-
son Of irrigation from these springs
while the higher lands near at hand can
support only the rankest vegetation. II
is in the Mojave that the southern line
made by the earthquake of 1854 COM
mences and there the fault Is most
sharply marked"

MAYOR COMPLAINS Of
ALAMEDA STREET WORK
Tells City Council That
Superintendent Is
Incompetent

ALAMEDA, June 29.-Mayor f. Tay-
lor does not believe that Street Super
intendent V. NJ. Frodden knows how to
repair e. "chuckhole" in street, and
said so last night in speaking before
the city council on his own plans for
improving the Webster street road
way.
When l was coming over the Web
ster street roadway the other day." said
Taylor, II noticed some of Frodden's
men trying to repair chuckho1es by fill
ing them with large rocks that were
rolled olIt of the holes again by the
first vehicle that struck them. l have
made a study of roads and road max
ing all my life and / know that Frod-
den does not show that he knows how
to fix a ciluckhole.
"I would like to have $4,000 al
lowed me with which to improve the
Webster street roadway. j have several
plans for making 1t first class high
way. One of my plans will not cost the
city anything.
President F. S. Loop of the city coun-
Gil here interrupted the mayor to say:
We'll, If you have such plan in your
head let us have it quick Mr.. Mayor.
You made the Webster street roadway
Improvement one of your pet issues, and
for one am In favor of passing the
whole matter up to you and permit
you to go ahead and see what you
can do"
The mayor explained that his plan of
making the improvement without cost
to the city was to form an assessment
district.
while such plan would be legal
and feasible said Taylor, II do not
think it would be fair. The owners of
frontage on the roadway, the largest
of which is the Pacific Improvement
company, would have to stand a large
share of the expense. AS the Webster
street roadway is used by nearly every
Alamedan I think that the entire city
should stand a part Of the expense
The Webster street improvement pro-
-ject will again be taken up by the city
council for further consideration.
Everybody is going to Del Monte for
the week of sports, July 8, $500 round
trip.
