LISA GIRL, NOT A
Man IN The MOON
Her Earthly Brother Chased Her
to Box Her Ears and She
Jumped Right Off

NEW YORK, July 15-Prof. Wilhelm
Verbeck, an ethnologist of Indianapolis
who has been studying the folklore
and traditions of the Eskimo Of north
ern Labrador, has returned from st
Johns, n. F., with a notebook full OF
observations taken in the year he spent
in the north. Professor Verbeck says
he found the Eskimos intelligent and
little affected by contact with the
whites.
Most of their myths have been pre-
served. Instead of having a man in the
moon they have a girl. One of their
young warriors, according to the
legend, became angry with his sister.
ran at her to box her ears and she fled.
Finally she got to the edge of a preci-
pice and he thought he had her then.
But her momentum was so great that
instead of stumbling off she shot right
out into space. The brother gazed at
her and finally saw her land right in
the middle of the moon.
Professor Verbeck has brought back
many other interesting traditions of
the little brown folk.

GREAT MAJORITY
Pioneer Was the Founder OF
Big Interests on the
Pacific Coast
Large Fortune Amassed by One
of CALIFORNIA; Old Time
Settlers

Ebenezer H. Dyer, father of the beet
sugar industry in the United States and
the first man to successfully manu-
facture that commodity in this country,
died at his residence at Alvarado, Ala
media county, early yesterday morning
aged SS years. He leaves an estate
estimated at $1,0O0,000. chiefly in sugar
stock and real estate holdings in Ala
media and the Santa Clara valley, to
be equally divided among his widow
and six children.
Born in Sullivan, Me-, April IL, 1922,
Dyer came to California with the early
rush of 1857, crossing the continent Via
varado, Alameda county, and in 1853
was elected county surveyor. In 1861
he was reelected to that position and
in the same year was appointed to the
position of United States deputy sur
veyor by President Lincoln. He con-
tinued in thfs position for 10 years, but
in 1869 became interested in the beet
sugar industry.
Prior to this several others had at
tempted to originate the industry in
Dyer, however, took it UP and in 1870
established the first beet sugar plant
in the country and until 10 years ago,
when his failing eyesight necessitated
the passing of his business over to his
sons, he remained at the active head
of it, The concern is now known as
the Alameda sugar company Apart
from his business he took an active
interest in politics and in 1876 was a
delegate to the national republican con-
vention. Later in life he engaged, in
company with his three sons, in the
business of erecting beet sugar plants,
and some of the biggest plants in the
country were built by them.
Dyer married Marion W. Ingals of his
native town in 1857 There were three
children by this uhion-Mrs. Abitha
Edward f. Dyer of Cleveland. Mrs,
Dyer died in 1868. Her twin sister,
Olive Ingals, later became Dyer's sec
ond wife. There were three children
by this second marriag age-Hugh T.
Dyer of ogden, Guy S. Dyer of Alva-
RADIO and Mrs. Nina Washburn of San
Francisco. Mrs. Dyer survives her hus-
band. She was present at his bedside
when he died, as were all of his chill
dren.
The exact manner in which the estate
is divided is not known, but it is gen
orally thought to be in equal shares.
The three sons are named as executors
and Samuel ]. Poorman Jr. is the at
torney.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family
residence at Alvarado. 1t will be con-
Quoted under the auspices of Crusade
lodge No. SO, Independent Order of Odd
Fellows. The interment will be in

PHILADELPHIA, July 14-Nothing
developed in the wage controversy be-
tween the conductors and trainmen on
the Pennsylvania lines east of Pitts
burg and the officers of the company
today that would indicate that the
breach between them is closing.
Rumors in circulation all day that a
strike would be called some time to-
night were quieted by President Gar
retson of the order of railway con-
ductors, who said that strike would
not be called before o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Garretson would not say that a
strike would be called, tomorrow, con-
tenting himself with the statement
that he did not know when strike
order would be issued.
President James McCrea issued a
statement tonight, giving the COM
pany's side of the controversy. In 1t
he said the demands Of the men were
unfair and a penalty for former lib
eral treatment of its employees.
Garretson also gave out statement
in which he said that all the men in

RESURRECT ANCIENT LAW
FOR VACATION OF STREET
Ordinance Reposes in Vault for
Seven Years

After reposing gracefully for seven
long years in a vault in the city clerk s
office, a poor old ordinance for the
vacation of little piece of street was
resurrected from its tomb yesterday
and sent on it's way to publication so
it can become a real ordinance. it
provides for the vacation of a portion
of Farmer avenue, five feet wide by
two hundred feet long.
The piece of land does not belong TO
the street, but was shown as sueh on
the maps through an engineering er-
ror. When the owners of the land
found this strip was really n part of a
public highway, steps were taken to
have it vacated, and as the city had
no real interest in the matter, an ordi-
mace was passed by the council Octo-
Der 1, 1903, and approved by M. P.
Snyder, who was mayor at that time.
But there was some little expense in
connection with the vacation, and the
council decreed that the benefited prop
erty owners pay $25 into the city treas
ury before the ordinance was pub
lished.
This $25 was just paid few days
ago, and the ordinance will be pub
lished today, but it will not be effec-
tive until thirty days after its publica-
ton,

CITY WANTS ROAD TAX
COLLECTED BY COUNTY
Attorney Quotes Old State Law
to Sustain Claim

Every cent of the $4,000 road taxes
collected by the county for various
annexed districts before the annexation
is due the city, according to an opin-
ion that will be submitted to the coun-
Gil wednesday by the city attorneys
office The opinion is the work of G.
d. Houghton, deputy city attorney,
and he has delved into musty tones of
legal lore until he has found old state
laws that sustain the city's claim on
this road fund.
Several months ago the city auditor
made a demand on the supervisors for
the unexpended portion of the road
fund collected by the county before
the affected districts were made part
of the city, and the county officials
offered the city $1,000. The auditor was
certain that more than this amount
wa sdue the city, and at his sug-
gestion the city council instructed the
city assessor to make an examination
of the county books
Mr.. Mallard's men went to work,
with the result that they discovered
the county supervisors were trying to
compromise a claim at about one
eighth its value Mr.. Mallard reported
to the council that there was actually
$4,000 due the city from this road
fund.
There was some doubt in the mind of
the legal department If the city could
collect the full amount, even if 1t was
due, but all such doubts have baen
set at rest by the investigation made
by Deputy City Attorney Houghton.
and the council will instruct the city
attorney to take the necessary stops
to collect the amount due, If it is not
forthcoming when the formal demand
is made

FILES SUIT FOR S14O,O56
AGAINST SUGAR COMPANY
HuIett Merritt of Pasadena Says
Sale Agreement Violated

Hulett c. Merritt, a wealthy Pasa-
denan, filed in the superior court yes
terday two suits against the Pacific
Sugar corporation for $140,O56.95 In
the first suit, which is to recover
$117,510.65, Merritt alleges that April 6,
1908, the corporation agreed to purchase
so per cent of the stock of the Tagus
ranch, in central California, for $780,
900, in installments, the lowest of
which was $4,000, and which is the only
one, it is declared, ever paid.
Because of the alleged failure of the
defendant to keep it's agreement re-
garding payments, it is asserted, the
property was sold by order of court,
being purchased by Merritt for $1,000.
Later, according to the complaint
Merritt and Jacob Adolf, one of the
trustees of the property, paid Merritt
$4354.66. With these financial transac-
tons taken into consideration, Merritt
figures there still is Silt, 510.65 due him
on the deal.
The other suit against the corpora
ton is for $22,546.30 and $1,000 for at
torneys fees. Merritt charges that be-
fore January 1, 1908, the concern be-
came indebted to him to the extent of
SOS, 900, the debt finally being assumed
by Nathan Cole, jr., and w. c. Petch-
ner, officers of the company.
BY the sale of bonds of the corpora
ton, which Merritt asserts now are
worthless, but twenty-five of which
found a market October 26, 1909, he
received $4,000. Because of interest due
for long time, he declares there now
is owing to him on that deal $22, 546.30,
for which he sues, with request for
the $1,000 additional for his legal ex-
penSeS.
