EXPERTS WANTED
in WATER SUIT
Attorneys for Oakland Ask for
Appointment of Two AS
sistant Engineers

OAKLAND, July 6.-Attorneys w. r
Davis, R. M. Fitzgerald and Carl Abbott
special counsel for the city in water
rate litigation. have asked the city
council to appoint assistants to j. H
Dockweiler. consulting engineer for
the city in the legal warfare. The
note embodying the request is urgent
in tone, reading in part:
The taking of testimony in the
two suits now pending and in
course of trial in the circuit. court
of the United States, in which the
Contra Costa water company is
the complainant, and the city of
Oakland respondent has now
reached a stage where we deem it
imperative that the city should Sc
cure at once the services of such
engineers as it intends to employ
He has done an immense amount
of work, and has all the material
data completed The details. cal
structural work, etc. are very
numerous and necessarily volumin
Gus. We are of one opinion as
to the propriety of having two en-
gineers of standing employed at
once to go over those numerous
details. estimates, calculations,
etc, and property involved, in
order that they shall be qualified,
as Mr.. Dockweiler is, to give not
only their judgments as to value.
but reasons in detail in support of
their judgments. Owing to- the
fact that for the next month or
six weeks engineers could more
conveniently than later do this
character of work, we advise that
this matter be taken up and acted
upon at your early convenience.
The real purpose, not expressed in
the letter, is to have three competent
engineers qualified as expert witnesses
for the city. 1t is certain that more
than one expert witness will testify
for the water company, and Dock
weiler's single statement, however ac-
curate, the lawyers hold, would neces-
sarily not carry the weight in a court
of adverse opinions given by several
engineers.
The council sent the request to com
mittee.

PAYMENT STOPPED ON
CHECK GUIPON SENT
Fiancee Will Have to Sue to Get
Her Money

NEW YORK, July 6.-The public ad-
ministrator has taken possession of
the estate of Leon Guipon, the artist,
who committed suicide in his studio
here last month, and has stopped pay
ment on a check for 1892 sent by the
artist shortly before his death to his
fiancee Miss Agnes Foster of Roxbury.
Mass.
The fact that Guipon had no next
of kin" would naturally make the
money he left revert to the state, there
being no WILL
1t is believed that Miss Foster.
whose father, Albert ]. Foster, is
president of the Peoples national bank,
Roxbury, will dispute the states claim
to the money, inasmuch as the check
was sent to her by her fiance before
his DEATH
In a letter to his friend, Hiram A.
Merrill, an engraver, the artist asked
Merrill and Miss Foster to share the
articles left in his studio. Among
these is some of the best work ever
done by the artist
