LEGAL BATTLE
Goes FOR NAUCHT
Year and $4,000 in Fees
Spent in Vain in Safe
Deposit Suit

The legal battle of the depositors
OF the California Safe Deposit and
Trust company to recover their
money has been time wasted. After
year of legal twists by galaxy of
brilliant attorneys a circle was ac-
compiished, bringing the case back
to the starting point, when Judge J.
NJ. Seawell handed down his decision
this morning.
He decided he could not rule upon
the essential issues presented because
the plaintiffs had not proved they
were depositors.
1t cost more than $4,000 in legal
fees to obtain this decision.
The suit was that of Rrieda J.
Major and Kate O'Conne1l to recover
their deposits. and 1t was taken by all
depositors as a test case. The main
point was to determine whether the
directors had right to declare divi-
dends out of the surplus profits of the
defunct company or whether this
money should go to depositors. This
point Seawell did not decide
The second point was to enforce
liability of each director on consti-
tutionaI provision Of the safe deposit
association. This was decided in fa-
vor of the directors on demurrer by
them that the provision did not hold.

The origin of the fire is not known
Shortly before noon yesterday it was
noticed by resident and alarm was
turned in. The Berkeley department
could not cope with the situation
and asked Oakland for help.

LOVERS DIE
T()GE HER
IN SEA
Man and Girl Engaged to
Marry Caught by Treach-
erous Tide and Drowned


A terrified womans glimpse Of the
last struggles Of a drowning man IN
the turbulent waters OF the ocean at
the edge OF Tennessee cove, Marin
county, Sunday afternoon. is believed
to have revealed a double tragedy. the
death or Miss Susie Johnson of Sausa-
Tito and De Witt Livingston of this
city. Entrapped BY the tides, 1t is
thought that Livingston and the girl
met death when they attempted 70
swim back to safety from the trap OF
rocks that were surrounded by a sud-
den change to flood tide.
The identity OF the couple has been
settled with certainty to the brothers
and mother of the girl. Livingston
wore a blue jersey and the girl wore
red sweater coat. These were worn
by the couple seen at the beach by
the only witness to the tragedy, and
the arm of the drowning man dis
closed blue coverins.
WOMAN SEES DROWNING
Mrs. William Helms of kentfield
was the witness With a party Of
five friends and her husband she had
gone to the beach to picnic. They
saw a young couple pass beyond the
headland of the cove, while the tide
was low, at 10 O'clock. The water
was smooth and the picknickers
thought nothing of It. About 2
o'clock screams were heard. Mrs.
Helms, followed by the other picnick-
ers, rushed up TO the top of the head
land. She was In advance of the
others.
In the breakers she discerned a man
struggling and attempting to swim.
She recognized the blue sleeve, and IS
sure he was the man who passed with
companion four hours before. An
instant later he was dashed against
the rocks by the waves and then dis
appeared from view.
Another object was floating on the
waves a few hundred feet from
shore, but Mrs. Helms was SO terri
ned that she did not look closely at IT,.
On returning to her home Mrs
Helms notified Coroner Frederick F..
Sawyer Early this morning the three
brothers Of the Johnson girl with
number of men from the coroners $
Office, went to Tennessee cove to con-
duct a search for the bodies

Frederick Jebsen, curly haired idol

Rosa Domingo, Victim of
Oriental Love and Crime,
Ignored Warnings Given
by Father

Out of the maze of sordid circum-
stances surrounding the discovery of
the bruised, chain weighted BODY of
is year old Rosa Domingo in the bay
of Siege Saturday, certain features
are becoming so predominant that the
mystery has taken on a new aspect
teeming with elements of the mystic
far east in the day of the Thuggee.
The mysticism of early India is
bound round the tragedy as closely as
We're the links of the chain in which
her murderer robed her dead body
before casting her into the water.
GIRL WAS STRANGLED
An autopsy performed this morning
by Deputy Coroner Doctor Abbott OF
Richmond definitely establishes thet
Rosa Domingo was strangled before
being weighted with loose iron and
thrown into the water off. a Siege
manufacturing plant.
AS the investigation proceeds it be-
comes more and more patent that the
girl was under a pernicious spell
woven, In look and action. by Said Ali
Kahn. the swarthy faced East Indian
who disappeared when the girls body
was found and for whom the police
now are securing this section of the
state.
Hypnotism and the cruel art of the
Thuggee. the Hindu counterpart of
the Paris Apache, is being incorpor-
ated into the tragedy steadwily as the
Investigation proceeds.
GIRL WAS HYNOTIZED
into custody in Oakland, apparently
suffering from a mental disorder. She
was released later. On another occa-
sion she caused the arrest of a Greek
restaurant proprietor. charging that
he had robbed her Of IS. The officers
are in possession of other facts which,
they say, tend to show that the young
woman was laboring under some men
tai stress.
From all data now in the posses
sion of those engaged in clearing UP
the murder, in addition to the sub
sanitation furnished by the autopsy.
Kahn reverted to the promptings of a
latent instinct handed down from the
day of Demonology in India and first
choked the girl to death. No marks
have been found on the body to pre-
clude the assumption that Kahn, con-
sistent to the end, scorned the use of
his hands. and with a silk handker-
chief strangled the girl in Thuggee
fashion.
HINDU COMPANION ARRESTED
Today detectives are searching the
girls home in Siege while Detectives

A country where courtesy Is bust
ness. and business but gentle avo
cation. reflects its popularity In the
most tritling details of conduct. Such
a country is Japan and such detail
recently came into notice when a city
electric bureau of Tokyo asked the
patrons Of its street car lines how
they preferred to be addressed when
IL was necessary to urge them to
move up" Out OF the 2.719 sugges-
tons sent in the Independent selects
and translates six, as follows:
Those not getting off, to the mid
die, pleased"
The middle Is more comfortable
I'm sorry, but all move on by one
straptr
There's a pretty girl about the
middle OF the carl"
"A pickpocket has Just come on
board!s
The municipal authorities frowned
somewhat upon the last three sugges-
lions, but the conductors will be
taught 10 use some OF the other forms.
Is It possible that the Japanese hope
to enjoy an efficient traction service
on such terms? Apparently they hope
TO, and we pass along the Japanese
idea as helpful hint to the gentle
men who jerk gong on the rear OF
our own street cars.
