igated by that body at the pres ent time. Alderman Holder, steer ed intoa gambling house by a tout, caused the raid of one Sat urday night and he caused so many arrests the grand jury had to take cognizance of the matter and number of indictments have already been entered by the inquisitive body in this direct ion. The prosecution will not end with the indictment of the mat ter and those charged with gam ing, but an effort will be made to revoke the license of the saloon of Smith X Go. over which the gambling house was operated.
 The Smith saloon is the old Bob Furth place, and which at one time figured in a contest in the court which finally ended by the license being revoked.
 Judge Asher requires all sa- loon keepers to sign an agree ment not to have gambling about the place before the license is issued and it is probable the Smith saloon will be called for an accounting on this agreement.
 It is stated Alderman Holder secured his enhance to the gam bling house through the saloon.

ALL HARBOR CITIES

The significant thing in this relation is that
all these cities have harbors which they desire
to control municipality That control is disputed
by the state and in San Francisco this claim is
allowed Oakland claims municipal control un-
der the legislative grant dating back to 1852 In
Los Angeles, rather San Pedro and Whining
ton, the state may be supposed to control any
thing that the Southern Pacific and the Bannings
have not acquired. Likewise in Oakland the
greater part OF the water front is claimed in private
ownership, but the validity and limitations of
these claims are quite uncertain. OF the three
water fronts, San Francisco has the only one
where full public ownership obtains
Under the next apportionment these three cities
will have power to enact as law of the state any
policy which they may be able to agree for
regulation or delegation of harbor control
CONFUSED TIDELAND TITLES
I find in a report made on behalf of the Cali
fornia river and harbor league, an association of
Oakland citizens, this passage:
The city limits of Oakland at the time that the
state granted the wliar6ng privilege extended
only from the entrance of Lake Merritt to Twenty
second street the north; but / hold that the
city's right to similar. property in the extension of
the city limits established and extended by
inference, just its police power extended.
If this should not prove to be the case, then the
state OF California is the present of all the
tide and shore lands embodied within the extended
limits of the city. In other words, the still

A GREAT LAWYER
Robert Y Hayne should have lived until his
judgment was vindicated by the recent decision
of the supreme court in the Oakland water rate
suit Judge Hayne was employed as special coun-
sci by the city of Oakland and he deeply felt the
grave injustice OF Judge Harts decision, which
put mortgage for 100000 on every house in
Oakland and by the stroke of pen doubled the
value of the Contra Costa company's plant The
Alameda county superior court judges one and
all, lodged the trial of that suit, making the in
fantie plea that water rate payers their judg-
ment might be swayed from the straight path of
justice. 1t strange measure of their sense
of right, but it was their own. The truth was
that they feared Dingee and so they called in Lie
Hart from Sacramento and he did the business
The supreme court intimates that he appraised the
property at double the true value
Judge Hayne was the ablest case lawyer in
California of his day. Law and the study OF
jurisprudence was pastime for him and it killed
him. 1t was his habit when he went on vacation
to take trunkful of law books along. The greatest
argument of his life was made in the famous grain
rate case in the United States circuit court where
the order of Railroad Commissioners Larue and
Stanton reducing freight charges on grain was
sisted Hayne employed on behalf of the
state, and il memory serves he spoke for eighteen
consecutive days. l asked him why he made it

the tlirtyninth district with 1928 voters and the
thirty-seventh with 9,lS3, while the twenty ninth

THE CITIES WILL CONTROL

The next legislature will reapportion the legis-
lative and congressional districts in proportion
to population, and the result must be complete
and radical arrangement of the present balance
OF power between the cities and the country dis
tricts That is to say, San Francisco, Los Angeles
and Oakland, which now elect less than one
fourth OF the legislature will after 1910 control
about half the total representation. The popula-
tion of California is supposed to be 100000 at
the present time. If San Francisco has 100000
Los Angeles 10000 and Oakland 100000 that
would make 100000, and adding the population
OF Alameda and Berkeley the bay cities and Las
Angeles would count about half the total for the
state. OF course, these figures are all guesswork
but the totals for the cities are no more likely
to be exaggerated than the 100000 for the
whole state
