NIeHTRIoERs AGAIN.

The Nightriders at Reelfoot Lake
are active again. Wednesday night
notice was posted by the Night
riders, so shown on the face OF the
notice, that Mr.. Burdick must close
his dock In six days. Another no
tice was posted warning Fred Bran
non, driver of the fish wagon, that
he must leave the country in fifteen
days. These notices. we learn, were
posted at Burdick's dock on the bank
of the Lake at Shaw's Park. Ira
Ruble has charge OF the dock, and
Mr.. Burdick was notified that the
notices had been posted and of their
purport.
SO II seems that the people Of this
county are to be thrown into con-
fusion and unrest again with danger
lurking about in secret places.
AS to the origin of these notices
we have no knowledge, but that they
were written and posted by Night
riders there is no other hypothesis.
There is no reasonable grounds for
these outbreaks. The State has Ia
ken the matter in hand with assur-
ances of making the Lake a public
domain, either by purchase or ac-
quirement through legitimate channel
If the officers of the law cannot
control the situation, then an appeal
to the State should be made.
The people and every public and
private interest are in jeopardy as
long as the spirit of lawlessness is
permitted to go unbridled. Union

ALAMEDA, July S-Congressman
Joseph r. Knowland and his family re-
turned this morning from Washing

opinion of the representative from the

Taft were carried out by congress-
Concerning the improvement of Oak

The prospects for the Improvement
of Oakland harbor were never better

John Biddle for, a 80 foot channel 500
feet wide from the bay to the tidal
basin and channel 25 feet deep and
800 feet wide around the tidal basin,
with an Is foot depth in the tidal
canal, was disapproved by the board of
engineers for rivers and harbors A
rehearing was granted and the project
was finally approved. Congress later
adopted this project, which calls for
the expenditure of s1,100, 900, the money
to be furnished annually as fast as
required
For the fiscal year $3.50, 600 has been
appropriated. The work will be COM
pleted by the time the Panama canal
is opened, at which time Oakland will
have one of the best harbors in the
country. The rivers and harbors bill
also provides for the opening of the
drawbridges spanning the tidal canal.
This will mean much to both Alameda
and Oakland.

The couple visited the county clerk
office on June 25 and asked for a license.
They were given first of all a document
setting forth their vital statlstlcS.
Thinking this was all that was neceS-
sary, they did not wait for the mar
riage license itself which was being
made out. They went to Rev. Arthur
d. Street of Emmanuel Presbyterian
church, who married them. The clergy
man is a recent arrival in California
and is not familiar with the law. It
was only yesterday. when he returned

Antonio Morey Caught in Mass

Returned to Oakland

OAKLAND, July S.-Antonio Morey,
linguist, who came from Panama by
steamer with Senior Turta Valencia, a
native of the canal belt, was arrested
yesterday at New Bedford, Mass, for
the alleged forgery of his companion s
name to a check on the Security bank
and trust company of Oakland for $3.50.
This was all the money Valencia had
in this country, and when he discovered
its loss his friend had disappeared
The bankers association sleuths took
up the trail and located Morey yes
terday, arresting him. He will be held
at the Bay State city until Captain of
Detectives Peterson arrives there.
Petersen probably will leave tomor-
row for Massachusetts, and will go
to Boston to have the governor of
Massachusetts honor an extradition de-
mand which Governor Gillett has been
asked to make.
Morey, it is said, is a splendidly edu-
Gated man, with five languages at his
command, besides his native Castilian.
He met Valencia on the boat from
Panama, and the men became intimate.
Valencia confided in Morey that he had
a travellers draft at the Security bank.
and Morey is said to have obtained by
forgery the entire sum the day after
he reached California.

at Sixteenth street will begin within a
short time. General Manager E. E.

in response to an inquiry concerning
the status of the projected improve
ments. Kruttschnitt said that the
plans for the ediffce had been returned
with approval of President Lovett and
that the orders were given to go for

explained, had been causedeby prob
lem of train handling, which proved to
be more complicated than 1t seemed at
the outset of work on the plans.
Director Kruttschnitt wrote that
there would be a complete separation of
through and local trains at the station,
and that the local tracks would be ele-
waited at that point. This was the ORR
ginal plan as presented before the

by General Manager Calvin. The pres
