STATES LAWS BIND
ALL STOCK HOLDERS
No Such Thing in California as
N0nassessable Shares, Rules
Oakland Judge
Statutes of Dakota Fail to Hold
Outside of Commonwealth,
Is Decision

OAKLAND, Nov Stock holders
in corporations which were organized
outside of the state must be subject
to the laws OF California when the
company does business in this state,
and outside concerns can not operate
on more favorable conditions than
home companies. according to a de-
cision by Superior Judge Waste today
In effect the judgment was given
when temporary injunction granted
Peter D. Rasmussen against the Red
ding gold and copper mining company
was dissolved and the directors OF the
company received permission to sell
stock held by Rasmussen for nonpay-
ment of assessments.
Rasmussen alleged that he had pur-
chased the stock under the representa-
tions that by the laws of South Dakota
it was fully paid up and nonassessable-
On coming to California Rasmussen
had his stock assessed and paid the
assessment partly in cash and partly
in services as an engineer.
He objected when a second assess
ment was levied and secured a tempor-
ary injunction preventing the sale OF
his stock as delinquent.
Judge Waste held that under the
laws of this state there is no such a
thing as nonaSsessable stock and no
escape from stock holders liabilities.
He also ruled that even though a sale
of shares was made under conditions
governed by the laws Of another state.
the laws of California are supreme
when the company operates within it's
borders. Rasmussen owned $4,000
shares valued at $4,000.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
FOR MARE ISLAND
Board of Military Engineers
Recommends Expenditure in
Work OF 100000

WASHINGTON, Nov 6.-Important
recommendations for improving Mare
Island strait and the approaches there
to are contained in the report of the
board of engineer officers of the army
and navy and an estimate is made of
s1,797 900 for the work, this amount to
include a self-containing and self-pro-
pelling dredge, which will require
about $125, 200 year to maintain.
The recommendation provides that
the strait be dredged to 80 foot
depth, with a width of 500 feet over
the bar and up to the turn. width OF
400 feet from the turn to the receiving
ship wharf, and 1000 feet from that
point to the north end of the Quay
wharf; that the dikes within the strait
and at the lower end of Mare island
be extended and that the channel in
San Pablo bay be dredged to a width
of 500 feet and a depth of 80 feet; all
depths being the mean low water.
Instructions to the board of civil en-
gineers referred only to the improve
ment of the approaches to Mare island
strait from the sea and OF the strait
itself. They did not include any in
vestigation of the suitability of Mare
island and adjacent waters for navy
purposes, nor plans for developments
of docks and anchorage facilities. The
extension OF the present dixie system
and the dredging of the channel are
recommended, with the explanation that
the extended dikes will assist to MAIN
tain the desired depths, together with
such additional dredgings as may be
necessary.
Che plan provides for the dredging
of the basin and proposed channel in
the straits to 80 feet at mean low wa
ter, and the extension of the dikes
within the straits a total distance of
2,400 feet. The removal of the Com
mission rock to depth of 20 feet is
recommended by the board also the
addition of a dixie at the foot of
Mare Island extended downstream one
and a half miles to prevent silt be-
ing carried into the strait from San
Pablo bay, with a proviso that 1t be
further extended should conditions
render it advisable. The estimated
cost of this Improvement is 81 ,007 O0O
Secretary Metcalf recently an
nounced that he expects to incorpor-
ate the boards estimate in his report
to congress.

SAN JOSE SWINDLER
CAUGHT IN CHICAGO
Man Who Passed Bogus Check
on Farmers Union Nabbed
by Clever Detectives
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN JOSE, Now 6.-Robert Grant,
alias Robert G. Curry, alias r. G.. Rob-
erts and many others. was arrested in
Chicago today on a complaint sworn
out In San Jose by /. Erbentraut, cash
ier of the farmers union, from which,
it is alleged, Grant obtained $500 in
September on a bogus check indorsed
by James Cole, San Jose 1iveryman
Grant is believed to have victimiZed a
number of people in Oakland and other
cities about the bay to an even greater
extent, and officers of several coast
counties have been searching for him
for months.
Grant was caught in Chicago by a
clever trick of the detectives of that
city. who knew that Grant had friend
who kept a restaurant in Chicago, and
by watching him closely for some time
finally located their quarry. He is now
in the Cook county jail awaiting the ar
rival of Deputy Sheriff Thomas Mulhall,
who left for Chicago today with requi-
sition papers for Grants extradition to
California.
Grant, if all the charges against him
are true, is one of the cleverest and
most. successful swindlers that ever
operated on the coast. Altogether he
is thought to have secured $4,000
within the past year by means of boz
Gus checks and other crooked transac-
tIons.
Since securing the $500 from the
Farmers union he has been pursued
from one city to another by Deputy
Marshall Mulhall, who located him in
San Francisco, then Bakersfield, then
Los Angeles, then Seattle, only to find
before he could apprehend him that he
had fed to the next city.
Grant is good looking, pleasant
spoken man of about A years, smooth
shaven, keen eyed. genial and a good
talker. He dressed well but plainly,
wore little jewelry and made no at
tempt to parade or dazzle To all ap-
pearances he was a quiet, prosperous
solid businessman. He posed as a-liv-
eryman and displayed keen knowl-
edge of horses and racing affairs.
He confided to Cole that he intended
to put through some big deals here in
the way of horse trading. After sew
eral talks with Cole the latter was
persuaded to go with Grant to the
Farmers union, where the check was
presented and cashed on Coles rec
ommendation without investigation.
When 1t was forwarded to Oakland
for collection it was found that Grant
was without funds in the bank named
on the face of the check.
