LABORERS CLASH
ON RIGHT OF WAY
Dispute Between Railroad and
Land Company Near Ham
ford Becomes Serious

HANFORD, Dec. "A serious clash
between the laborers employed by the
Hanford and Summit Lake railroad
company and the construction crew
of the Laguna land company today was
the outcome of the controversy between
the two companies over the right of
way at the Kings river crossing. Dur
ing the day the land company's work
men constructed a. house across the
disputed strip on the west bank of the
river, and before nightfall a force of
the railroad employees marched to the
point. armed with picks and shovels,
and, tearing the structure down, tum-
bled 1T into the stream. Seven officers
under Sheriff Buckner hurried from this
city to quell the trouble. No one was
injured.
One of the men was arrested for
striking Charles King, president of the
railroad company.
Representatives of the land company
recently alleged that the railroad peo-
pie had violated an injunction obtained
in the Fresno courts restraining them
from continuing to work on a bridge
across Kings river. While the land
company's men camped last night on
the river bank to prevent further work
on the bridge, a force of railroad en-
ployes, fanked by a few farmers who
are supporting them. held the opposite
side

POLICE BARRED FROM
WOMEN'S MASQUERADE
Bluecoats Are Recognized and
Fail to Break Up Party

BERKELEY, Dec. 2,-Three members
Of the Berkeley police department
sought little diversion from chasing
thugs and arresting criminals few
nights ago by surprising four stenog-
raphers employed at the city hall in
the midst of jinks at the home of
Miss Bernice Jones, 2214 Roosevelt
avenue. The women were thoroughly
enjoying the evening, dressed in the
conventional clothing of their brothers.
and the appearance of the bluecoats
caused a mild CONSERVATION
Had they not recognized Sergeant
Thomas Wooley, Bailiff de Pue and
Patrolman Lew Richardson, their sur
prise would have been greater, but
the bluecoats, baffled in their attempts
to gain an entrance into the house
beat a hasty retreat. No official report
Of the occurrence has been made to
Chief Vollmer. nor will the disappoint-
ed officers discuss the affair. Some one
had telephoned to police headquarters
that suspicious characters were lurk-
ing thereabouts.
Among the women who enjoyed the
evening were: Miss Anna Black, stenog-
rapher for the city council; Miss Emma
Hahn, stenographer for City Clerk
Seaborn; Miss Lillian Foss, clerk for
Councilman Norton, and Miss Jones,
who is connected with the city board
of health as typiSt.

WITHOUT GOVERNMENT
TO RENOUNCE IN OATH
Portuguese Seeking NaturaFiza-
tiOn Perplexed Over Ruler

HANFORD, Dec. When two Por-
tuguese candidates for final naturaliza-
ti0n papers appeared before Judge Co
vert in the superior court here two
weeks ago a snag was encountered in
the proceedings that involved a deli
cate point hinging on the present state
of affairs in their native country. The
naturalization proceedings provide that
the Portuguese candidates must first
forswear allegiance to their king and
then proclaim allegiance to the United
States.
since King Manuel is no longer the
ruler Of the country and the United
States has not yet recognized the re
public, Judge Covert was in a duan-
dary. he decided 10 write TO Washing

An answer has just been received to
the effect that until the United States
recognized the new republic, or some
other form of government there, it is
proper TO have the candidates renounce

SETTLEMENT IS MADE
OVER GOEWEY ESTATE
John w. Havens Asks for Dis
miSSal of Suit

OAKLAND, Dec. John w. Havens,
acting as executor of the will of his
wife, Gertrude Goewey Havens, has
filed a petition in the Alameda county
superior court, asking to be allowed to
compromise his suit against the Goe-
wey estate company, in which his wife,
who was Miss Gertrude Goewey, owned
considerable stock
He explained that the estate had Of
fered to turn over to him $35,700, the
amount demanded in the suit, provided
that the accrued interest be not
included. Havens filed his suit shortly
after the death of his wife, when he
says he found that the munificent SAL
aries the Goewey heirs were paying
themselves in the estate were eating
up the assets of the concern. He was
given judgment, but an appeal from
the decision is now pending.
One-half Of the $35,700 will be placed
to Havens' credit and the other half
to that of his child. This is in ac-
cordance with the will of the late Mrs.
HaVenS.
