WHARFAGE FIGHT
Time Worn Controversy Over
Title to Water Front Again
Made Subject of Suit

The old legal controversy regarding
the right and title TO the Oakland wa
ter front was reopened once more yes
terday when William Muir and 13
others brought suit in the United States
circuit court cleaning the property as
against the Claims Of the city OF Oak
land. the Southern Pacific. the Western
Pacific and all other holders. The ac-
tion may cause an indefinite postpone
ment OF the proposed Improvement OF
the Oakland water front and may inter-
fere also with the contemplated S25,-
0O0, 900 bond election
The suit is based on the old ground
that the maps and records relating TO
the old Spanish grant were mutilated
and that also some of the most import
ant papers in connection with the grant
have been stolen from the repositories
of the state.
According to the petition Luis Pc
ralta was given the land in 1920 by a
grant from the Spanish king. In the
hurIy burIy years OF 40 the Peraltas
complained that squatters were en-
croaching upon their land. The claim
is that Peralta gave all his records and
maps TO one D. W. Murphy, who was
sent TO Investigate Peralta's rights to
the land. and that when the papers
were returned they had been mutiiated
and changed In 1853 the United states
supreme court affirmed Peralta's right
TO the land. but II is alleged that the
decree could not be found The present
action is brought by William Muir. a

agent for the Peralta heirs
Among the defendants are Horace w
