SUCCESSOR TO POINDEXTER.

1t is important that voters who
IRE interested in progressive repub
lean policies should be careful to
tote for first and second choice can
lidates for congress otherwise the
tote will not be counted. In this
hoice a vote for w. L. La Toilette
II Pullman and Charles H. Braden
# Spokane for either first or second
hoice would be effective, as these
gentlemen have made an active can
lass and the chances of one or the
&ther of them winning the nomina-
ion are good. The candidacy of
Seabury merritt does not commend
itself to progressives because Mr..
Merritt has not taken a definite stand
IN progressive policies. For this rea-
on he should not be supported The
legislative battle for the control of
he house of representatives has just
begun. and strong progressive and
lnti-Cannon man should be selected.
One of the remarkable features of
he campaign the last week is the
ecline of the Burke boom through
Sut the state. The supporters of j.
;. Wilson have mostly gravitated to
ashton and Poindexter, and it now
Eeems as if the contest has shifted
10 Ashton and Poindexter, with the
hances greatly in favor of the pro-
kressive. The remarkable demon
|trations in favor of Mr.. Poindexter
|n Seattle last week practically in
| lures his nomination by an over
Ehelming majority.

EVENTS THE COUNTIES BORDERING FRANCISCO
TECHNICAL Fight
MADE BY OFFICERS
Indicted San Mateo Supervisors
Argue That instrument of
Law Is Faulty

Another set of technical objections
to the indictments against Daniel E.
Blackburn, ]. M. Debenedetti and ]. NJ.
Francis of San Mateo, accused of de-
frauding the county government in
connection with furniture contract.
were argued before Judge Cabaniss
yesterday on demurrer. The judge init
mated that he did not think much of
the points submitted by the attorneys
for theAdefendants. but took the matter
under submission to allow of the filing
of briefs
carroll Cook and William Hoff Cook,
representing Blackburn, who is SUI
pervisor and is accused of agreeing
to. accept a bribe, contended that the
Indictment was faulty because it was
not anywhere stated therein that the
supervisors of San Mateo county had
jurisdiction to pass on the claim of the
Fl. S. Crocker company for furniture.
They argued also that the indictment
did not show that Blackburn was a
member of any committee that would
be called on to pass upon the claim.
and that, for all that the indictment
showed, his term of office might have
expired before the claim came before
the board of supervisors. Other points
made by the Cook brothers was that
more than one offense was charged,
and that even If the charges were true
the indictment contains matter which
constitutes legal justification and ex-
cuse.
Prosecutor Brennan replied that in
alleging that Blackburn was fully
qualified and elected supervisor. and as
such would be called upon to give his
official vote and opinion on the claim
the Indictment stated all that was nee
essary.
Attorney Walter Bacon for Francis
and Attorney Charles S. Peery for De-
benedetti then argued the demurrers
in behalf of their respective clients,
who are charged with conspiracy to
defraud the county.

streets, to volunteer their aid so that

originally intended to hold an evening
reception at which the merchants of
the city were to have open house TO
meet the shoppers. Nothing was to
be sold upon this evening This plan
met with setbacks and it was finally
decided to leave this to the individual
merchants. In the work of decorating
the city merchants have worked to-
gether and by having a member of the
committee on each of the principal
blocks to see the merchants in person
much has been accomplished. Another
feature of the holidays will be the

at that time became almost unbearabIe.
Since moving to Oakland I have
treated with six well known physicians
who exhausted their skill with no good
results 1 suffered such intense 1ain
that cried In agony and wished to die
The doctors said nothing could be done
for me except to give ms. morphine to
ease the pain But my friends would
not have IL so. Last September they
hurried me to see DR.. Foo, who had

Part of Franchise Agree

title and interest of the Southern Pa
cific and Central Pacific companies to
tide lands east of the north arm of
the estuary. claimed by virtue of the
Stratton patent. was placed on record
today. The recording of the deed was
panies of part of the agreement where
by the franchise granting rights on the
western waterfront was given by the
municipality.
The deed was a quitclaim deed, but
excepted the rights of way of the
through the Stratton patent lands. In
turn, these rights of way are subject
to the right of the city to extend Fifth
and Ninth avenues at grade across the
company's tracks.
The rights Of the railroad comRny to
the tide lands that have been ceded
were based on the Stra tton patent a
title disputed by the city They were
granted by the state of California TO
James T. Stratton, who conveyed them
10 the railway company. The city of
Oakland, applying the law as an
nounced by the late John f. McElroy,
former city attorney. holds that the
state had no right to cede tide lands
TO private individuals or corporations
within four miles of an Incorporated
city. The land in the Stratton patent
was not in the city of Oakland at the
time the state parted with it, but ad-
joined it on the east
The municipal authorities will now
endeavor to induce the state legislature
to cede the land included in the STRAIT
ton patent to it. This effort was made

BERKELEY WOULD
BE NAVAL station
Chamber of Commerce Writes to
Secretary Meyer Giving Rea=
sons for It's PretensiOns

BERKELEY, Dec. 6.-Berkeley
would be a naval base and has offered
It's harbor to the navy department for
the proposed site. The members of the
chamber of commerce believe that the
distinction of being a college town is
not enough and have written to Secre-
iary of the Navy Meyer the following
reasons why Berkeley's pretensions
can not be overlooked:
l. berkeley offers a wide expanse of
alt4ost a. most level land needed for naval
r.3a z. It Is directly opposite the Golden
Sdte, and may be reached by incoming
battleships and cruisers without delay
or Inconvenience
.. The price of land is lower in
berkeley than a any other location of

WfInln striking distance. (c) An in

lerles and avoiding destruction by
mines and torpedoes) s)-would have to
march around the southern arm of San
FRANCISCO bay, by way of San Jose, and
every step would be powerfully resist
ed. (d) The high hills back of Berke-
ley would form an almost fnvulnera BILE
artillery position, sweeping and com
manding every point of attack upon the
naval station
s.. Berkeley is on the mainland side
or San francisco bay: is traversed by
TWO transcontinental railways and a
third skirts is municipal boundary.
b. Climatic conditions are so desira-
bic that constructive operations may be
maintained at full efficiency every day
IN the year there being no oppressive
neat or unpleasant cold weather. 1t is
q. most desirable home city, no saloons
or other resorts being allowed within
the city limits. Being the seat of the
University of California, and having
many high class schools and academies,
1t afIOrdS unusual catiOnal facilities
"a consideration which is highly es-
teemed and prized by the federal
authorities, always solicitous for the
welfare of government employees
Z. There is room in Berkeley in which
the naval station could expand and be-
come the vast establishment which the
needs of the service would ultimately
demand
If objection be made that dredging
would be necessary to prepare for such
a naval station at Berkeley, it must be
remembered that a similar objection
might be raised against any available
location on Sa Francisco bay.
The people of Berkeley feel that there
is no logical reason why their city
should not get the new navy yard. If
they fail in obtaining what they want
it will not be for lack of asking for it.

Oakland as Naval Base

OAKLAND, Dec. 6.--At meeting of
the rivers and harbors committee of
the chamber of commerce Wednesday
morning steps will be taken in view
of the suggestion lately made public
by Secretary of the Navy Meyer that
a new naval base be secured in San
Francisco bay to take the place of the
Mare island yard, to secure the yard
for the Oakland estuary. This matter
has been discussed at considerable
length by the members of the chamber,
and they state that all the objections
now found to Mare island would be
eliminated by having the drydock on
the Oakland side.
