SUPREME COURTS
RULING COSTS CITY
San Francisco Loses Five City
Blocks Worth 100000 in
Sutro Opinion
Suit Carried On for Twelve
Years in Name of Barta !
Settled

San Francisco lost title to FIVE city
blocks fronting on Ocean boulevard.
whose appraised value is more than
100000, by the opinion handed down
by the Supreme court yesterday in the
rehearing of the suit of the Adolph
Sutro heirs against c. j. Barta and
others for the possession of strip of
land at Forty ninth avenue and l street
BY previous decision of the supreme
court the city was given title to the
Sutro property south of the park
bounded by H and j streets and Forty
ninth avenue and Ocean boulevard, and
this decision was believed to have. de-
termined the. ownership of three blocks
north of the park belonging to the
Richard NJ. Hotaling estate, where
Identical conditions of ownership were
involved.
Though the suit has been carried on
for II years in the name of Barta, the
city has really been pushing the matter,
as Barta long ago vacated the premises
In dispute. 1t was Barta's action in
questioning the right of the Sutro heirs
to evict him from the property that
first brought to the attention of City
Attorney Percy V. Long that the prop
erty was not defined in the map of the
outside lands commission report of
1868
The question determined yesterday
was whether or not the two triangular
blocks that have long been known as
Carville were street holdings This
would have provided a broad esplanade
not only on the south of the park fac
ing the ocean, but also on the north in
the property held by the Hotaling
estate
Three rehearings have been granted
in the case, the finding in the previous
ones being in favor of the city. All of
the trials prior to the first suit
brought before the supreme court were
in favor of the Sutro heirs, represented
by Emma L. Merritt, executrix of the
will. and J. c. McKinstry, attorney in
the case.
The two blocks belonging to the
Sutro estate are narrow pieces of prop
erty, owing to a slight difference in
direction of Ocean boulevard 1t
comprises the present site of Carville.
where clusters of dsused horsecars
serve Is dwellings rented out at from
IS to s25. The property has a frontage
of 5000 feet to two streets or s 900 feet
altogether. This is valued at more
than $4,000 by the present owners
The Hotaling property consists of
larger holdings, and includes all the
resorts from Sheehans tavern to the
Seal Rock pavilion. In it's opinion the
court declared that the esplanade idea
had not been provided for in the orig
inal Humphriess map, adopted by the
board of supervisors as the result of
the report of the outside lands com
mission. Only a street was provided
for, and the original right of Sutro to
the prOpertV was sustained

WAR DECLARED ON
PINCHOT' POLICIES
Fight for Broader Scope OF
Conservation Carried to Min
ing Congress
Westerners Will Demand Laws
Promoting Industry at Los
Angeles Convention

Bitter attacks on Clifford Pinchot
policy of national conservation are GER
tain to be made at the convention of
the American mining congress to be
held in Los Angeles September 26 to
October l, according to information re-
ceived by State Mineralogist Lewis Au-
bury from prominent mining men in all
parts of the west.
Senator Rorah of Idaho and Governor
Clark of Alaska have been preparing
to pay their respects to the Pinchot
policy which, it is claimed, western
men were not permitted to criticise at
the recent conservation congress at st.
Paul. While they will head the active
opposition to Pinchot's ideas. Senator
Smooth of Utah and others will supple
ment them with substitute ideas that it
will be urged the federal authorities
should adopt in place of certain of the
Pinchot policies.
At the ST. Paul congress it is said
that western men sought vainly to pre-
sent their side of the case and as re-
suit they are now very much worked
up over the matter and will put up a
stiff fight to- formulate western"
conservation policy in opposition to
Pinchots. 1t is said that this will be
drawn up in accordance with western
conditions and by men who are ac-
quainted with the needs of the west.
PINCHOT STUDIES OIL
Pinchot has been invited to study
western conditions and has just COM
pleted tour of the oil fields. He is ex-
pected to give his views on matters
affecting the oil men and on the out
come of this rests the attitude of the
oil interests at the congress. An active
feeling against .Pinchot's policies has
already served to band the oil interests
in common cause, and information
received by Aupury is to the effect that
they are ready to wage a virulent cam
paign for western" policy of con-
SerYation.
Western men object to being called
anti -conservationists by the eastern
conservationists just because they op-
pose certain of the latters' theories
They insist that western men, ac-
quainted with actual operating condi-
tions, are better qualified to frame
beneficial laws which while preserving
conservation theories will not inter-
rupt industry or halt enterprise.
CONFLICT WITH EAST
The presence of western governors in
person or by representative adds to the
belief that strong effort will be made
to draw up a policy in sharp conflict
with the ideas advanced at st. Paul
The congress will be the largest of
its kind ever held in North America
Delegates from all sections of the con-
tinent are on their way to Los An
geles. A special party is coming from
Mexico City, something without pre-
cedent in the annals of the association.
All mining sections of the continent
will be represented.
