FILES SUIT ASKING
$300,000 DAMAGES
Barron Estate Company Alleges
Fraud on Part of Woodru ff
Trouble Grows Out of Cost of
Hotel Block at Taylor and
Geary Streets
Fraud and deception are charged
against the Woodruff company, con
structing engineers, in a suit demand
ing ;; $300,000 as. damages instituted
against the firm yesterday t by the Ed
ward, .Barron estate company. The
troubfcj originated over the erection of
the six story hotel building at Taylor
and Geary streets, work upon which
\u25a0was stopped in October last because of
the size of the builders' bills. It is
alleged that the maximum sum which
the, estate company agreed to pay for
the erection of the building, including
commissions to the contractors and
everything else, was $400,000, that as a
matter of; fact they, have paid
the' Woodruff company $530,000. and
that experts have now informed .them
that' if the .building be properly, com
pleted the total cost will be $700,000.
The difference between .the alleged
agreed cost and the present estimated
cost — $300,000— is demanded as dam
ages. . ; . _^-:- : • .-
The complaint states that the Wood
ruff company, of. which S. H. Woodruff
is president, manager and sole owner of
the capital stock, informed the plain
tiff that the maximum cost of the
building -would positively not exceed
$300,000. The plaintiff thereupon signed
a contract upon an understanding that
the Wood ruff company would prepare
plans arid specifications giving a de
tailed estimate of the cost "to the last
nail," and if the estimated cost should
exceed $300,000 the plans could be so
modified as 'to reduce the cost.
Afterward the plans were modified to
include a mezzanine floor to cost $50,000
extra and to include other features re
quested by the De Wolfes, who had en
tered into a contract to lease the hotel,
to cost another $50,000— 0r $400,000
total. The plaintiff company alleges it
asked repeatedly for the plans and de
tailed estimates, but was put off with
false promises and excuses, and that
monthly statements were being 'made
continually.- to the contractors.
It was not until October. 1907. accord
ing to tho complaint, that the plaintiff
learned the cosjt would be more than
the agreed $400,000. Ip that hionth the
Woodruff company informed the estate
company the cost would be $510,000.
Work was then stopped and experts
employed, who reported that the total
cost 'would be 1 $700,000.
Up to date tho plaintiff company says
it. has paid the Woodruff company $530.
000. of which $SO, OOO has been retained
as commissions. The De Wolfes agreed
to pay a rental based on S pe# cent of
$350,000.17 per cent of $50,000 and also
S per cent on $300,000, the agreed value
of the land. The lessees say they are
unable to pay a rental based on a cost
of more than $400,000. and have given
notice that they will not use the
premises. . . :
BANKER RAGLAND SEEKS
TO tiAVE, BONDS REDUCED
Thinks $500 Is Sufficient; but
Court Sets the Figures
at $2,000
Banker Rufus E. Ragland appeared
before Judge Conly of Madera, sitting
in place. of Judge; Cook, yesterday and
askod to s have* his bonds reduced | to
$500. Assistant District Attorney Fer
i-ari argued against the reduction and
asked the court to place Ragland's
bonds at $2,000. This Mas done. Rag
land was convicted of exhibiting a
deadly weapon and was sentenced to
serve nine months- in the county ' jail.'
He appealed from. the sentence and was
granted a writ of habeas corpus by
Judge Cook Saturday, and yesterday
he appeared in court with his attorney
to. have. his surety placed at'ssoo cash.
The attorney for the prosecution ar
gued that inasmuch as the court had
Imposed the. maximum sentence of nine
months in the county jail 'If. was evi
dent that the judge felt that Ragland
should be severely punished. Ra.gland's
attorney stated that $500 was the max
imum penalty which c&u^d/ be ; imposed
and that this sum should be ample to
satisfy the' demands of justice. Attor
ney; Ferrari argued that it was discre
tionary with the court and that fine
and imprisonment might both be im
posed.
. Ragland will appear In court this
morning with a bondsman, $1,000 bonds
having been given Saturday in Judge
Cook's court. . , ' . ~ v

RUSSIA SUFFERS
FROM WAR SCARE
Thinks Hostilities With Turkey
Are Due to Break Out at
Any Time
Ambassadors of Other Powers
Believe It "Gigantic Game
of Bluff" by Czar
]'\u25a0 ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 17. s— The
i alarmist reports of the possibilities of
hostilities between Russia and Tur
key, which have spread over all
Russia, have assumed the proportior.3
lof a veritable war scare, to which
Itlie sensational press is devoting its
biggest headlines, v-r}- 1-;^:1 -;^:
.The situation Is taken seriously not
only in military circles, but also r by
conservative politicians. M. Guchkoff,
leader of the majority in the duma,
announced his intention, tonight of
raising at the next meeting of the
commission of -national defense, the
question of the nation's readiness for
war. He .• also purposes; to interpellate,!
the minister- of communications on thf
ability, of the railroads, particularly
Jn the Caucasus and Transcaucasia, to
transport troops quickly to the south
ern and southwestern frontiers.
The duma. according to M. •Guchkoff,
will be guilty of criminal negligence
if . it permits the country again to be
drawn into war for which it is wholly
unprepared. -tj The surest' means ' to
avoid a rupture. . lie said, Is serious
preparation for any eventuality. ,
; The ambassadors jof five of the lead
ing powers, when interviewed today,
considered hostilities as being almost
out of the question. -Their opinion is
that . the Turkish mobilization in Asia j
Minor and the warlike preparations in ;
Russia are parts of. a : "gigantic game
of bluff," -which neither side will be
able to carry to a finish owing to the
lack of. sinews of war.' v .\V*
REPORT TURKS ON MOVE
News Is Given Circulation That
Reserves Go to Frontier
TIFI-.TS, Feb.- 17. — Reports have been
received "here from Armenia that all
Turkish arniy reserve forces in sev
eral provinces of Asia Minor have been
called to the colors and are departing
rapidly, for the frontier. At the same
time; a league of the Turkish revolu
tionary party is increasing the> revolu
tionary agitation.
\ Appeals and proclamations are being
issued exhorting the population to pro
test in every way possible against the
warlike plans of the . sultan. The
league holds that war would be espe
cially disastrous at this time, as there
is a famine in Asia Minor..
The concentration of Turkish re
serv.es on the Persian and Russian
frontiers in Asia Elinor, if in prog
ress, is an outcome of the border diffi
culty with Persia. Recently.' Turkish
troops crossed the- Persian frontier in
the vicinity of Urumiah and committed
depredations. To this iiussia, under
her. treaty obligations to Persia, ob
jected and began the concentration of
a strong force on . the frontier of the
Caucasus; ' This show of military ac
tivity was' thought to haverbeen suffi-'
cient to put a stop to the Turkish ag
gression "and the : Russian movement
was said to have been discontinued.
If the reports from Armenia are
true the ''difficulty in Asia Minor, which
is closely connected with the railroad
aspirations of the powers in the Bal
kans, may assume serious import.
LOSES SUIT FOR DAMAGES
ON A PANAMA CONTRACT
Government's Demurrer to Ac
tion of a Lumber Company
Is Sustained
Assistant United States District At
torney Clark won a_victory for the
government yesterday in the United
States circuit court, when the demur
rer filed on behalf of the government
in the suit-brought" against it by the
Bellingham lumber company was sus
tained by Judge Van 'Fleet. The' Bel
lingham lumber company brought suit
to- recover ..$8,000,. and the* action was
based on the ground of failure on the
part of the Panama canal commission
to carry out a contract made with the
lumber company. - .r-rT;- •
The commission purchased several
million ;feet, of lumber from the Bel
lingrham: company, : who alleged in the
suit to recover damages that the com
mission neglected to unload th.c. ves
sel: within the time limit, thereby
causing the Belllngham -lumber com
pany additional expense. ;.
The government demurred on the
grounds that the. plaintiffs had not
shown that there' was any violation
of contract and- that the' petition did
not show a sufficient cause for action.

MISTRIAL IN LAND
SWINDLING CASE
Jury Unable to Agree on Guilt
or Innocence of Hyde and
Smith
Defendants Accused of Defraud*
ing Many Home Seekers by
Get Rich Quick Scheme
. After deliberating' more than five,
hours the jury in the case of Marcus
D. Hyde and Grant V. Smith, who were
tried, in the United States district court
on the charge of having made false affi
davits for entry upon government land,
reported a disagreement late last even
ing.. Hyde and Smith were arrested
last summer on the complaint oi Pres
ley A. JMcKailand. Ill" Twenty-sixth
avenue. East' Oakland, and Mrs. Alice
Leek. 1016 Dcvisadero street. .San Fran
cisco, who charged them with obtaining
money under false pretense.
According to the ' evidence brought
out by Assistant United States Attorney j
McKinley. Hyde and. Smith offered a
get rich quick scheme in the form of a
valuable piece, of -timber land.
McFarland testified that he purchased '
a piece of property from Hyde and
Smith.' which was described to him as
being lso acres in size and suitable for
agricultural purposes, after the timber
had been cut off. The evidence furthei j
showed that McFarland. signed the pa- j
pers without seeing the land or even
reading the papers. McFarland testified
that Hyde had said that it would be;
better for him to read the papers to;
him because he. being a lawyer, would !
be able to explain them more . easily \u25a0
than If McFarland had read them.
When McFarland and Mrs: Leek went
to look at the kind that had been sold
them they found that it was on the j
side of a mountain, unfit for farming '
and almost valueless. The two wit
nesses testified that Hyde and Smith
had represented that they had a large '
tract of government land which .be
longed to homesteaders who would sell
for a very reasonable price.
Mrs. L.eck told the court that she had j
paid Hyde all the money she had in the:
•world, thinking at the time she would
get a piece of land on which she would
be able to build a home. Government
Land Agent I* C. Glavis testified as to
the methods adopted by Hyde and
Smith, and charged that they had de
frauded a large number of home seek
ers.
The case was given. to the jury early
yesterday afternoon, and at S o'clock a
disagreement was reported. The case
will be brought before the courts again '

SHIPMATE'S ERROR
COSTS JACKIE LIFE
. \u25a0 .
Sailor Falls to Death Down
Hatchway Left Open as
Result of Negligence
Body of Bluejacket Is Taken
From Cruiser Buffalo With
Military Honors
As the result of the negligence oft
: shipmate. Grovcr Cleveland Chapman,
a bluejacket on the navy auxlliary
cruiser Buffalo, now lying at anchor
in man o' war row. fell to his death
yesterday down tire steamer's forward
hold. Chapman dropped a distance of
SO feet and was killed instantly. His
botly was taken yesterday afternoon to
Mare Island, where it will be held until
his family's wishes are known as to
its disposition.
The companion ladder into the hold
where Chapman met h!a dratb had been
taken away yesterday to be repaired
and at the time of its removal the ord^r
was given for a man rope to be riggeil
around the hatch to prevent just sucii
an accident as happened. This order
was not obeyed and Chapman, unaware
of the ladder's absemys stepped over
the hatch coaming and .fell to his
death.
Chapman rated on the Buffalo as
baker, second class. He entered the
navy in St. Louis November 23, 1304,
and for th^> whole' period of his almost
completed enlistment his record 'on
Uncle Sam's books stand 3 clear of error.
He was born in Missouri in ISB3. His
father. S. S. Chapman, lives at New
port, Ind.
When Chapman's body was car
ried over the side of the ship yesterday
for the last time it was with the naval
honors that only death can win for a
bluejacket. A special cutter had been
called, and as strong men tenderly car
ried the mangled clay down the gang
way to the waiting boat officers and
men with heads* uncovered lined the
rails. The Buffalo's ensign was lowered
to half mast and as the cutter steamed
away the ship's bugler sounded the
goodby of the dead man's shipmate*.
Captain Pond has ordered a rigid in
\-*stlgation into the circumstances sur
rounding Chapman's death.
and Assistant District Attorney Mc-
Kinley has aak-id for a new trial.
Hyde is a brother of Henry B. Hyd*.
the millionaire who was indicted with
John A. Benson and William Dimond by
a federal grand jury for alleged fraud
in obtaining government lands. This
ca^e Is still pending.
