CLAIM TO WATER FRONT
MUCH LAND IS AT STAKE
Heirs of the Bird Estate Have Filed
Claim to Land Along the Ocean at
Oakland, Berkley and Alameda,
California.;
Prosecution Will Introduce but Five Witnesses in Presenting the Direct Cause All Conjecture as to What Defense Will Be.
Publishers' Press! Oaklaiiw . iini3 to tne entire water front of Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, stretching from the boundary line between Alameda and Contra Costa counties to Alameda Point; and to a portion, if not all, of Lake Merritt, are to be asserted by John Bird and Ada Bird of Alameda, surviving children of Urban Bird, who was a piencer of this county. They Instituted the , work, of establishing title, which they allege comes to them through the Peralta grant, and subsequent deeds to their father. Among the heaviest owners of the lands claimed by the Birds is the Southern Pacific Railway company.
WANTS LARGEST CRUISER
Publishers' Press. New Yc . ii is practically settled in the district attorney's office just what will be done' by the prosecution in presenting the case against Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White at the Madison Square roof garden. From the prosecution's standpoint the trial will be hort. About five witnesses will be examined in presenting the direct cause. These witnesses will tell of the shooting and the events that happened at the roof garden. It should not take more than a few hours, it is said, for the prosecution to put in its entire direct case. It will be a simple story of the killing, showing that White was shot at a table while watching the performance without any chance of defending himself. The idea is to have the defense explain the killing. There have been many
stories printed giving conjecture as to what the defense will be, but Thaw's counsel have made no statement regarding this point.
Unless there is a change In the
present, plans the crucial part of the trial will come in the rebuttal. For that preparations have been made.
The assistant district attorney, Garvan, who has had charge of the Thaw
case, has left nothing undone to run down every story and rumor, no matter how improbable it appeared on its
face. As a result, there will be an
accumulation of evidence which may
surprise the defense. District Attor
ney Jerome will have charge of the
trial, assisted by Garvan.

FIRST TWO WERE CAUGHT AND THE OTHERS SUFFERED LOSS OF THEIR LIVES IN TRYINGG TO RESCUE THEM.
Bingen, Hesse, -Jan. 5. Workmen cutting a new railway line between Lamscheid and Leiningen were caught by a landslide. The dead bodies of 13 and 15 injured workmen were re
covered. I First an embankment collapsed, j burying two men. To rescue them large parties of other laborers cm- j
ployed along the line were Immediately set to work and a wide pit was dug in which were about 50 men when the overhanging hillside fell, burying 40 laborers under masses of earth. Those who were not buried began to dig out their comrades, while messengers were sent to nearby villages asking for help. Several physicians and a large force of workmen were sent to the scene. The rescue work was "dangerous, owing to .the possibility of fresh masses of earth falling. Most of the workmen killed were young men. Among the injured are three children. It is probable that there are 15 bodies beneath the fallen earth.
