SURETY COMPANY SUED
ON BOND FOR $1,000
Makes Defense That Minutes
Were Interfered With

Upon the plea that a change had been
covertly made in the minutes of the
Alexander brick and terra Gotta com
pany after the adoption of a resolu-
ton. the Pacific surety company sought
in Judge Troutt's court yesterday to
escape a liability of $4,000 on a bond
given the Selby smelling and Lead COM
pany.
In August, 1907, the surety company
furnished the bond in the sum named
to insure the performance of con-
tract by which the brick company un-
dertook to deliver bricks to the Selby
company at. $6.75 a thousand until an
indebtedness of $14, 416 had been wiped
out. The brick company went bank
rupt before it had fulfilled its contract,
and the suit by the Selby company
against the surety corporation for the
$4,000 followed.
In defense the surety company
claimed that w: H. Miller, treasurer
of the brick company, had no authority
TO enter into the contract for the de-
livery of bricks to the Selby company,
and charged that an addition had been
made TO the minutes giving the pre-
tended authority: In rebuttal the Selby
company produced the minutes, bear
ing the corporations seal. and insisted
that the defendant was estopped from
going behind the official record. Judge
Trout took the case under submission.

The problem Of fertilizer control of

to break down the necessary restrictions lnsur-
To appreciate this properly il should be under

Returned to His Family
in Pasadena

it is said that he has a wife and four

Brown. He was then employed by the
Oakland fraction company as foreman
Of construction work on the Poplar
street Key Route extension. Some mys-
terry surrounded his past. His identity
became known through his confession
TO acquaintances that he was living
under q pseudonym.
OF that Mrs. Peterson was not cog
infant when she became the mans
bride. She met Brown, as she knew
him. through a matrimonial agent with
whom she came in touch because of
her desire to close a real estate trans
action.
Thompson, then posing as Brown, al
though persons in this city were aware
of his real name, had confided in the
marriage agent his desire of taking a
wife. Mrs. Peterson tried to sell her
property TO the same agent. and she
was sidetracked from land vending to
matrimony.
Rev. Marion r. Drury, pastor of the
United Brethren church, performed the
ceremony, which was witnessed by
friends Of Mrs. Peterson. For a little
less than two weeks the couple lived
together.
Then came the trip to san Quentin
of George .. Collins, the attorney,
whose efforts to escape punishment for
bigamy sent him to jail for perjury.
The punishment of the lawyer pro-
foundry affected Thompson's equanim-
ity. and the bridegroom discussed the
sensational case with his bride. That
night he disappeared.

MAYOR NOY AFTER
HEALTH OFFICIALS
Alameda Executive Says Menu
bers of Board Are
Incompetent

ALAMEDA, June 3o.--Mayor William
II. Noy declares. that the present board
OF health is Incompetent; that the
health department is the only one in
the city government of which he is
heartily ashamed, and that he means
to remove its members if he can and
without delay. City Physician L.
IVY. Stidham, who is also municipal
health officer, asserts that Mayor Noy's
attack on the health department and
its members is a case of dirty poll
tics" The members of the health
board are DR.. T. K. Hamilton. Dr. Har-
old A. Miller, DR.. James Ellis and DE-.
S. P. Terry. The term of DR.. j. En-
NETT Clark, who was the fifth mem
Der of the board, expired recently and
no one has yet been found who is
willing to fill the vacancy. The other
members of the health department are
Dr. Tom Carpenter, city veterinarian.
food and milk inspector, and E. G..
Maillott. sanitary inspector.
The members of the present board
of health We're appointed by former
Mayor E. X. Taylor. Under the char
ter they can not be removed without
cause, and as all are .holdovers 1T VIII
be necessary for Mayor Noy to prefer
charges against them and prove the
same before he can rid his administra-
ton of the officials who he alleges are
incompetent.
The four members of the board of
health work together harmoniously in
handling the affairs of the department
and all have refused to resign, al
though they have been given to un-
derstand that their retirement would
please Mayor Noy and extract thorn
from the side of the administration.
The real cause of the friction be-
tween the mayor and the health board
is said to be the desire of the admin
istration to cause the removal of Doc
tor Carpenter, city veterinarian, and
Doctor Stidham, city physician. Both
hold salaried offices and it is known
that there are number of aspirants
in the field for the places. The board
of health has consistently stood by
Carpenter and Stidham, and having the
power of filing these Offices. is in a
position to Illustrate efforts on the part
of the administration to Dust .Carpen-
ter and Stidham. Former Mayor lay
ent board of health and preferred
charges against DR.. j. Emmett Clark
with view to removing him. Doctor
Clark defeated the: efforts. of Taylor
to GUST him and forced Taylor to re-.
tract certain allegations, that Taylor
had made against the physician.
