JURY DRAWN FOR
TRIAL OF BULLOCK
San Mateo, District Attorney
in Court for Malfeasance
in Office
REDWOOD CITY, Feb. 23.— Joseph J.
Bullock, district attorney of San Mateo,
was arraigned today for alleged mal
feasance in office. The day was dev
oted to the examination of jurymen
solely, but a large crowd placed stand
ing room at a premium.
The legal battle, with William Hoff
Cook of District Attorney Langdon'js
office representing the prosecu-tion and
Roos & Ross and Walter H. Linfortthe
defense, opened with a setback for the
prosecution in that Judge M.'M. Dooling
of San Benito county, who is sitting for
Judge Buck during the trials, sustained
the objection of the defense to the ac
cusation against. Bullock based on his
detaining James Powers in Jail without
trial for a long period. Judge Dooling
stated that there was no averment in
tbe accusation that a date had ever been
set for hearing, but resubmisslon of the
accusation was left open for the present
by Cook, making it. possible for the
prosecution to bring forward the charge
at some later date.
The following jurors were accepted:
John Wlsnom, M.. J. McNamara, W. B.
McKinnon, San Mateo: A. J. Beer, James
Glennan. Redwood City; William Casey,
T. Ward, Menlo Park; H. Hildebrand,

SAVANT DISCUSSES
MASTERY OF PACIFIC
Declares Domination of Ocean of
More Benefit to Japan
Than United States:
BERKELEY, Feb. 23.— "What vrould
j we do If some nation would claim the
j mastery of the Pacific ocean?. The
! ocean Is of no use to m In the economic
-ii-nso, ns ',; we, have few ships on- Its
I waters, but is of more benefit to .Japan.
j What Japan will do in the. future for
j the ' mastery of the' oecnti in n matter
let speculation."'
j The' foregoing remarks were made
j by Prof.. J. X. Bowman of the, history
I department of the university, who is
j an authority on all matters relative to
the history, of countries -whose shores
are washed by the Pacific. ,
His lecture in California hall this
afternoon on "The .Mastery of the Pa
cific" created 'much interest. . \u25a0;
"The problem is 'largely speculative,"
continued Bowman. "What China will
do and what/ Japan j will do, and what
the United States will do, no one can
•say.*.-. -\u25a0„ . .
".'As for the United States, we have
no mastery of any* ocean. -Mastery
means full control, the dominant in
fluence. It is true that the , United
States controls .more land washed-. by
the Pacific than' any other nation, but
we have no commercial' lnterest in the
dominance over the;. ocean. . '. ".
"The question is fraught with con
jecture. The. mastery of the Atlantic
has been settled and no nation domi
nates it;' it is international. .The .Pa
cific ocean -problem is largely the same
and for speculative purposes we have
history to fall back upon."
OPPOSES SCHEME FOR
I TJDAL CANAL BRIDGES
District Attorney Believes Ex-
pense Will Be Too Heavy
I OAKLAND, ' Feb. 23.— Expense - of
maintenance was raised by, Assistant
District Attorney Hynes today as a
serious consideration in carrying^out
the proiected ; taking over by ; the coun
ty of bridges over, the tidal canal, in
an opinion filed with- the board of. su
pervisors today. . \u25a0 - .
The opinion 1 was given after prop;
erty owners had petitioned the . board
to assume control- of the bridges and
reconstruct them, '\u25a0> so that they could
be opened ; for commerce to - develop
a manufacturing- center along the
Fruitvale section of the canal. ..
Permission from the war. department
could be readily secured, Bald Hynes, but
the bridges would require extensive
reconstruction before they could be
opened. The plans suggested called
for the operation of the Park street
bridge by electricity, with hand power
for the High street and Frultvale ave
nue bridges. .Hand power would be
much more expensive, said Hynes. \u25a0_

Mullan in his petition to collect $10.

state board of equalization had fixed
the rate for the year after the board

the county assessor had collected on
the last rates fixed by the board, and
that the amounts paid, were excessive,
figured by the newer rates.

tion by District Attorney Donahue, who
alleged that MacMullan sued after he
had been authorized to collect. Dona
hue said, that such a suit could only
be filed on assigned claims, and thi»v
contention was upheld. MacMulla* r
