SHAY'S AFFIDAVIT
Declares That Assessor Dalton's
Former Deputy Should Join
AnaniaS Club

OAKLAND, Aug. 8.-No affidavits
were filed today in the Dalton Black
burn-Shay controversy but in the place
of the sworn statements that appeared
daily for while, former Governor
Pardee today made public a declaratio
that Frank NJ. Shay, Dalton's former
deputy, lied.
1t was Shay's afTidavits and state
ments that he paid County Assessor
Henry P. Dalton SIS month out of his
salary of S125 month that began the
war OF aff1davits that endured last
week. Shay had hardly made public
this charge before it was met by af-
fidavits by Dalton and by his chief
deputy. Thomas NJ. Robinson, to the eff
feet that they had never SO taken
money from him. This was accom-
panied by an affidavit by Pardee to the
effect that Shay had told him only two
days before he accused Dalton that he
had never paid him or Robinson money
and that he had never told any one that
he had done So
In his turn. Shay then made another
affidavit in which he said that Pardee
was not telling the truth and in which
he reiterated his charges that he had
been compelled by the assessor to part
with percentage of his salary every
month.
Pardee in his statement of today ac-
cuses Shay of deliberate and willful
lying in so many words. He also goes
on TO relate conversation had between
himself and Dalton's former deputy
In which the latter told of the attempts

henchman but now bitter enemy. to

his salary, on the ground that he had
secured employment for him. And it
was Blackburn, Pardee says Shay told
him, who tried to induce Shay to pur-
official documents by which Blackburn
intended to make money.
County Auditor Lutgen entered the
lists today against Dalton. He said
that the assessor was playing a dog
in the manger' policy. Lutgen declares
that he asked Robinson. Dalton's chief
deputy, for certain footings of the as
sessnlent rolls, as he Lutgen) wanted
to include them in his report to the
state controller. Dalton refused at
first to give them to him, Lutgen says
and today when he sent one of his
deputies to Robinson the latter told him
that the footings had been destroyed

ical work the result. The auditor
says that it has always been the custom
for the assessor to give the auditor

COMPANY ORDERS
SHERIFF TO MOVE
Builders of County Jail Angered
at Action of Board OF
Supervisors

OAKLAND, Aug Retaliatory
measures have been adopted by the
Pacific contraction company, which is
building the county Jail, for the refusal
on the part of the county authorities
to pay the company about 1900. AS
result, Sheriff Barnet today received
communication from the company.
ordering him to vacate certain parts OF
the Jail that is being built.
A few weeks ago the representatives
of the company put in a bill for $500
more than the contract price OF the

from the old Jail had been sold by the
supervisors after they had agreed TO
let the company have it for use In the
new building Acting on the advice of
District Attorney Donahue the super
visors refused to allow this extra
amount.
In retaliation the company has now
revived an old agreement, the enforce
ment of which will cause the sheriff
and the jailers much annoyance. When
the old jail was torn down 1T was neces-
sary to house prisoners and their Jail
ers in the new building before It was
finished.
The county, the Pacific construction
company and the Pauly jail building
company, which is putting IN the cells.
made an agreement 10 the effect that
the Jail could be occupied before it
was finished and formally accepted. but
that the sheriff and jailers would have
to move out of those parts of the Jail
whenever it became necessary for the
purposes of construction.
Today's communication to Barnet
says that ii is now necessary to do
some plumbing in the quarters occu-
pied by Mrs. White. matron of the
Jail, and that Mrs. White must move
out. Certain stores that have been
placed in the administration part of
the building must also go out.
