REDWOOD CITY, Sept. 20.-Still an
other twist has been added to the liti-
cation and suits arising over the pIac-
ing of Dingee park on the realty mar
ket. by the filing Of an action in the su-
perior court by Alfred W. Wehe against
those persons holding contracts for
property in that subdivision. Most of
the people in question only made their
first payments on the property and re-
fused to make any further payments
when the property was thrown into litf-
cation.

park proposition, recently sued Burreli
@. White, an attorney, and Miss E. NJ:
Smith, a wealthy client of Whites. as
the result of a deal involving stock of
the West Shore realty company, which
he valued at 100000. Miss Smith re-
ciprocated by suing the realty dealer
for the return of $1,000 which she in
vested IN company which was to ex-
ploit the park

sular realty deal. not excepting Nash s

AROUND SAN DIEGO
Mystery Startles Citizens and
Police Accuse Aged Man
of the Deed

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 2o.-By an arrest
made by the police today they believe
they have obtained an important clew
TO the attempt to dynamite the resi-
denee of Dr. f. H. Mead, the city
health officer, some days ago. The
man under arrest is Allen Binn, 73
years of age. After the arrest the po-
lice searched Binn's room in Third
street lodging house. There they dis
covered two sticks of dynamite which
in make and date correspond with the
stick that was tied to the doorknob
of DR., Mead's residence. Under the
doormat the police found paper the wa
ter mark of which is claimed to be the
same as the paper on which the threat
ening letter to DR.. Mead was written
The officers also found several hun
dred circulars denouncing medical mall
practice.
1t was learned. too. that the old man
is very bitter toward doctors because
he claims his hand was damaged by
improper treatment by one of them.
The police say that no less than
seven sticks of dynamite have been
found at as many different places

the last few weeks of the anti-vacci-
nation agitation In this city.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL
WORRIES BERKELEY
Incorporation Of Ocean View
Revives Trouble for Trustees
of University Town
Utilization of Tide Flats and
Adoption Of Incinerator Sug-
gested as Alternatives

BERKELEY, Sept 2o.-As a result
of the Incorporation OF the town of
Ocean View the town trustees of
Berkeley find themselves again face to
face with the question Of garbage
disposal
In compliance with the state law.
the certified returns of the Ocean View
election Will be forwarded to the Sec
retary of state, Charles F. Curry, to-
morrow morning and the certificate of
Incorporation will be received by
Wednesday or Thursday. After the
Inauguration of officials the board of
trustees of Ocean View undoubtedly
will pass an ordinance prohibiting the
dumping Of garbage on the Nickell
property south of McKeever's hill.
The Berkeley trustees viii then have
to solve problem similar to the per-
plexity of last May, the attempted So
luton of which almost precipitated a
riot.
To tide over the difficulty until the
proposed incinerator is built, Mayor
Ferrier has been approached with a
renewal of the old plan of utilizing
the tide lands in West Berkeley. This
plan provides for the building of a
bullxhead at the foot of Delaware
street on property owned by f. W.
Foss or on land at the foot of Univer-
sity avenue adjacent to the municipal
wharf. which is the property of c. B.
Haywood. Over each deposit of gar
bage layer of sand and gravel would
be spread to prevent the escape of OBJ
jectionable odors. 1t is not thought,
however, that other property owners
in the vicinity will acquiesce, as the
same plan was broached last spring
and met with indignant opposition
Mayor Ferrier suggests the adoption
of the Carson incinerator near the
carbon dioxide works in West Berke-
ley. A committee consisting of Trus-
tees Shad, Olsen and Connor was ap-
pointed two weeks ago to investigate
the plant in company with Professors
O'Neill and Cettrell of the state uni
versity, and their report should be
rendered Tuesday evening.

FORAKER TO FIGHT ALONE
Senator Withdraws From En-
gagements to Speak

CINCINNATI. Sept. 20.-United States
Senator Joseph B. Foraker has can
celed all of his speaking engagements
in the campaign. In written re-
quest to National Chairman Frank H.
Hitchcock he asked to be relieved from
the appointments which had been ar
ranged for him by the national speak
ers' bureau. and in communication to
State Chairman Williams of the Ohio
republican committee he made the same
request as to the engagements which
had been arranged for him in this
state.
As to Senator Foraker's senatorial
thoriZed to state the senator's posi-
tion, as follows:
Senator Foraker will leave the selec-
tion of his successor 70 the Legislature.
but will do all in his power to see that
a republican Legislature is elected.
Senator Foraker Today told his
friends that he would make a speech
in answer to. Hearst's charges. and in
defense of himself. and then campaign
the entire state in behalf of his sena-
torial candidacy, but under the juris-
diction of no political committee.
Interesting detaiis-o just how Sena-
tor Foraker came to withdraw from
participation in the forthcoming con-
vention of the national league of re-
publican clubs. at which he was to
speak with Judge Taft here on Tues
day evening. were disclosed today au-
thoritatively. 1t appears that the mat
ter was arranged at conferences be-
tween Senators Dick. Crane and Fora
ker.
Throughout the negotiations Judge
Taft refused absolutely TO comment for
publication on the matter. 1t has
since developed that he had at once
taken the position that the joint en-
gagement must be cancelled.
Taft received insistent advices to
take the initiative in the matter of
canceling the arrangements, but his
reply was emphatic, in this Ian
guage:
If 1t would win every vote in the
United States. l can not hit a man
when he is down.
