steps immediately to find a new location thereby signify Ing an intention to Abandon a site which it has held quietly for sixteen years Attorney William1 Ki Davis on of the few men tn this city who has the tangled legal features ot Oaklands many water front battles at his fingers tips and the attorney for Cotton Brothers during the present trouble has taken no step to carry the dispute Into the courts The Webster street Wharf and Dock Company traces Its right to this land and to most ot the land lying along the estuary between Webster and Hanson streets through a title obtained from the Dameron Doane claim of early days a claim which caused a costly fight on the citys water front many years ago Attorney Davis knows this but ha also knows that the South em Pacific Company overrides such a claim by pointing to Its title gained through the Oakland Water Front Corn pan Although the attorney for Cotton Brothers anticipates that the legal struggle for No Mans Land would be long drawn and bitter he Is desirous of making the fight He particularly dislikes the manner In which the Southern Paclnc workmen entered the yarda of Cotton Brothers snd forcibly took possession of equipment loaded It On fsrlght cars and curried It away But Cotton Brothers to day manifest hardly as warlike a spirit as their attorney Ernest Cotton one of the members of the firm stated this afternoon that the company would move off the premises at an early date as soon as a nsw location oould be found Furthermore the Southern Paclflo a conciliatory spirit offered to return the flat cars loaded with the Cotton Brothers private property which was removed on the first day of the attempted eviction of that firm Cotton Brothers hesitated about accepting this last offer fearing that there might be something tricky underneath this spparently innocent act General Superintendent 8 Palmer cleared up this Important phaso of the difficulty to day when he authorised the following Interview The property In question belongs to the Southern Pacific Company The Cotton Brothers have been using It by sufferance for the storage of their Junk material They were notified some tlm ago that the company wantsd to use the property and they were requested to move their material They dlil noth Ing They were then notified that un less their material wai removed within a week tne Southern Pari fir
