.Oregon to Berkeley to
Make Defense
EMPLOYER EXPLAINS
Declares Accused Did Not
"Skip Out" as Stated
"by Enemies"
OAKLAND,^ May 20.— Charges lodged
%rlth Herbert L. Breed, an attorney of
this city, against C. D. Collis. a sales
man for the Irwin-Patton realty com
pany of Berkeley, have led to the an
nouncement that Collis is returning
from Oregon to face his accusers.
According to Breed a; woman client
complained to him that she had made
a payment to Collis on property which
had not been credited to her, that In
vestigation had ehown that .her pay
ment of a $37.50 installment had dwin
41e< to $10 when the books were ex
asrinei ' / 2 f: :'-\u25a0;'.,'.
r-att«i, when seen at the company's
eSwa ta the First national bank block
at Berkeley, made light of the charges.
He said:
This whole tliinj is <3ue to a misnndcrstandinjf.
Collis bas not skipped out. He went to Klam
ath Fall*, ia Oregon, on private business and,
nc>w thtt he has learned that his enemies are
trying to make tremble for him. he has wired hi*
wife In Berkeley that he will be back here to
face his accusers very shortly.
Thnse charges are all trumped op. Collis was
railed away in a hurry and did not fettle all the
bOFiaecs he had on band bere. Now his ene
mies, whe ere jealous of his business successes,
are trriag to make trouble for hid. That's all'
there is to It. When Collis gets back every
thiaf will be straightened out.
MAYOR CONFERS WITH
OAKLAND HARBOR LEAGUE
Numerous Plans Suggested
for Improving the
Water Front
OAKLAND. May 20.— Mayor Mott to
day held a conference with a committee
of the Oakland harbor league regard-
Ing action to be taken to at once afford
this city additional wharf and dock fa
cilities. A number of plans were sug
gested, but no definite action was taken,
the mayor suggesting that a smaller
committee be appointed to confer with
the officials of the city government, the
wjtter front attorneys of the city and
the city attorney.
Mott explained the difficulties in the
way of the immediate building of
wharves, chief among which was the
fact that to reach the water It would be
necessary to condemn rights of way
across the property claimed by the
Oakland water front compainy, and this
would mean the acknowledgment of a
title which has been disputed by the
city for more than a dozen years. JAs
soon as the new committee is named by
tbe'league the date of the conference
with" ttbe city officials will be set.
