FRICK IN fight
AGAINST. DALTON
Publishes Resume of Case in
Which Assessor Was
Sued by County

OAKLAND, Aug. 11.-Former Superior
Judge A L.. F'rick entered the lists to-
day against County Assessor Henry P.
Dalton. Frick's charges. deal with a
suit brought in 1902 against Dalton by
the county of Alameda to recover
money paid him for furnishing a copy
of his assessment rolls to the city of
Oakland. The outcome of the suit was
that Dalton had to pay the county
$l,999 that he had received from the
city.
Previous to 1907. when a new law
changed things. the city of Oakland
depended on the county assessor for its
assessment figures. Regularly every
year the city bought from the county
assessor the figures he had made, in the
shape of a duplicate of his records.
In 1902 Dalton received $2,65o in this
way.
The charge was made at that time
that he had charged $2,563-33 more than
the work had actually cost him. and
that he should turn in the excess to
the county treasury. Demand was
made upon hi mand he refused to pay
it, following which the then district
attorney, John ]. Allen, brought suit
against him. Judge Melvin decided in
favor of the county in the sum of 81 .999
and Justice Cooper of the appellate
court upheld Melvin. Dalton made res
titution.
. His defense was at the time that he
had actually paid out $3.50 for the
making of a duplicate copy of the as
sesSment rolls. The work was done by
III. H. Miller, he said, who charged him
that amount and received it. Dalton
has always maintained that he had a
right to keep this money. and that he
acted on the advice of his attorneys,
Fitzgerald & Abbott, in doing so.
Frick today made public complete
discussion of the case, which was a
sensational one in the courts of Ala
media county seven years ago. He de-
clares that Dalton's testimony in 1T.
when he declared that he had paid
Miller all the money the city had given
him, was false.

tectives Petersen in the preliminary
examination of Barnard for embezzlfng
$500 June is. Attorney Frank Me-
Gowan, who is associated with Fletch-
er A. Cutler in Barnard's defense, par
ried with the witness. insinuating that
immunity had been promised Barnard
to get his confession.
Both McGowan and Cutler attempted
to prevent testimony of the alleged
confession on the ground that evil
dence to establish the crime had not
been brought before the court Police
Judge Samuels overruled the conten-
'tion, and the supposed confession was
made part of the record.
Chester L. Parker. manager of the
Sperry company's Oakland office, was
again a witness. explaining the sys-
tenn by which Barnard concealed his
alleged peculations for two years. He

OAKLAND, Aug. 11-Ten bids out of

quay wall were rejected by the board
OF public works. today as too high, and
the contract probably will be let to
one of the remaining two concerns to-
morrow afternoon.
The companies now in the race are
the Metropolis construction company
ana the Carterra contracting company.
Inc Carterra company's bid is 100000
lower than the Metropolis company,
ana lt may lose the job for that reason.
city engineer Turner has advised
the board that he believes the work
can not be done for the figure named
py the bidder The board ordered rep
resentatlves of the Carterra company
TO appear tomorrow to show that 1t has
Iacilitles for building the wall accord
ing TO specifications. In addition, the
methoos of construction must be ex-
planned to the satisfaction of the city
engineers.
Ihis action was taken as a matter
or caution because of the difficulties
OF excavation and construction which
VIII confront the workmen. The ex-
cavation will be a trench 40 feet deep
and 1000 feet long. The nature of the
strata Is such that much of the dig
ging must be by hand and bidders must
explain what machinery they will use.
The bid of the Carterra company
was sl09.75 linear foot for sections
and of the quay wall and s116.99
linear foot for sections and 4. The
Metropolis company bid $145 a linear
toot for the same work in all sections.
Inc total cost of the quay wall from
Myrtle to Clay streets, for which a
contract Is to be awarded tomorrow,
is estimated by the city engineer at
$35o,000. The two bids accepted are
far below that figure. The quay wall
