COUNCIL MAY BUY
INC!NERATOR SITE
Berkeley's City Fathers Secure
Option of Two Acres Adjoin-
ing Municipal Wharf

BERKELEY, Aug. 1O.-The city
purchase by the old board of the
Schmidt Mendenhall incinerator site at
the foot of Harrison street, the present
cause of a battle in the courts as to
the legality of the order for the pay
ment of $1,000 on it, and secured an
option on two acres just south of the
foot of University avenue and adjoining
the city wharf.
While the council would not state
its ultimate purpose in buying the land
for the moderator site. a payment of
SIS was ordered to hold the option. and
the price of the land asked by the
owner, W. H. Haywood, was announced
as $1,000.
The land, which is under water at
high tide, is expected to answer the re-
Quirements for an ideal site. The haul
down University avenue is easy. and
the site of the moderator would be in
the manufacturing district away from
residences and would not result in the
filing of complaints on account of the
fumes arising from It.
The added nearness of the city wharf
at the foot of University avenue has
been considered by the council, and
IL is planned to use the klinker brick
and other solid matter from the in
Generator to fill in the city wharf.
The ground would have to be piled
before an incinerator could be built, but
this is considered of minor Importance
and one which would not involve much
expense.
bond election for the purchase of
the site and incinerator is being con-
sidered by the council.

Seeks Custody of Boy Awarded

Dunno filed petition today to be given
the custody OF his little son. Marvin L
Dunno. who has been in the care OF his
mother. Marie z. Dunno. since she filed
suit for divorce in September. 1908.
Dunno based his request on alIega-
danger his life jumping on and or
streetcars and that he went about
ragged and unkempt.
He also said that Mrs. Dunno had
violated court orders setting times at
which he might visit the boy. He de-
clared that she often refused to admit
him to the house, and when she did
passed insulting remarks which led to
quarrels in the boys presence. This
was done with a view 10 poisoning the
youngsters mind against his father,
said Dunno
When he sought to give the boy little
presents he was frequently compelled
to leave them with a neighbor. and on
two occasions when she had assentsd
to the boy going on trips with his
father the mother Sad refused after
arrangements We're made. he says

Freed From Custody

fakers, must go north alone to face
the charge of obtaining $1,000 as dam
ages from the Seattle electric rail-
way company for fake injury. Today
her husband and brother in law, Frank
and Luther Johnson, respectively, who
were arrested with the woman in this
city, were released from custody, the
Seattle police having refused to prefer
any charge against them. =
The local authorities have at no
time believed that Luther Johnson
could be convicted of completely in the
alleged swindling operations of his sis
ter In law, but a much stronger sus-
pfcion rested upon the woman's hus-
band. When .-sweated'' by the local
detectives, however, his answers were
SO straightforward, and his plea of in
nocence. was maintained so consis-
tently that it was finally decided to
hberate him also. Johnson insists that
he was equally as much a dupe OF his
wife as were the railroad companies
she is alleged to have victimized.
Mrs. Johnson has been in Merritt
hospital since her arrest, but she is now
well enough to make the trip north
and will start in the custody of a
Seattle detective tomorrow. She says
that she is perfectly willing to face
her accusers, and that she has no fear
of the outcome of the charges, mas
much as the money she received from
the Seattle railroad was paid to her
upon the advice of the company's
claims agent and physician. She in
sists that she is innocent of any
wrong doing.
