Builder .Seeks Through Courts
to Gain Possession From
Harriman Interests.
SPRECKELS PARTY TO CASE
Alleged to Have Forcibly Obtained
Control of Property and Iater'
Sold to Southern Paciric.
Damages Are Asked.
MAH9HPIEIJ), Or.. April . (Special.)
Suits to recover possession of the Coos
Bay & Kastern Railroad, operating be
tween this city and Myrtle Point, were
filed here today by R. A. Graham,
through his attorney, T. S. Minot. Gra
ham built this railroad, -which is now
owned by the Harriman Interests.
O. J. Mlllis. local agent for the South
ern Pacific Company In this city, was
served today with a formal demand for
possession of the railroad. Mr. Mlllis
was leaving at the time for Portland.
Suit will also be Instituted, states Attor
ney Minot. -demanding that a receiver be
appointed for the Coos Bay & Eastern.
Breach of Contract Alleged.
The actions begun today are based on
slicked breach of contracts by third par
, ties, and are to recover damages, one
j sum for J62.O0O and a second sum for
tlo3.0f. The complaint states John D.
Spreckels Bros. Company by violence and
for its own use did fraudulently seize
ii nd take possession of the railroad prop
erty with an armed force of men on De
cember 12, 1S9. The Spreckels company
is alleged then to have sold the property
to TV. F. Herrln, K. K. Calvin. TV. B.
Krott. C. J. Mlllis, William Hood, Joseph
I TVllcut, C. R. Redington, J. S. Coke
and the Southern Pacific Company. The
complaint further alleges that the men
s named above and the Southern Pacific
i.'ompany are co-partners in operation of
the road.
The men mentioned are said to have
acted as directors of the railroad while
the original board was still a legal bodv.
The complaint alleged the existence of
an indemnity contract between Spreckels
and the other defendants as named, in
demnifying said defendants against any
claim which the plaintiff, R. A. Graham,
might have., -
Former Receiver Defendant.
TV. 8. Chandler, former receiver, is
also made a defendant. It is stated that
the road was Incorporated to run from
Coos Bay to Hosebnrg and' that it now
runs only from " Coos Bay to Myrtle
Point, and Is therefore not entitled to the
franchise It holds from the state.
Attorney Minot, for the plaintiff, states
that quo warranto proceedings will be
Instituted to .dissolve the corporation on
these grounds.
The second suit is against the Spreckels
Company, Southern Pacific Company and
the others mentioned above, asking for
. M,027 damages on tlie grounds that the
road Is unlawfully withheld from Gra
ham. Knits In Kqulty to Be Filed.
Attorney Minot states that the formal
demand made on Agent Millis today for
possession of the company's property
Is the first step in a suit in equity which
' lias been prepared and will be tiled. This
will also ask mat the corporation be
dissolved, for an accounting of the $1,300.
fK and for $750,000 which Is the difference
between the amount paid for the road
and the j;2.000 which Graham owed the
Spreckels Company.
The case will come up at the next term
of court, ; which convenes this month.
Judge John S. Coke, recently appointed
to the Circuit bench, will be disqualified
to hear the case, because he is a defend
ant. New York, San Francisco and Port
land attorneys will be associated with
Mr. Minot for the plaintiff.

DAIRY LAW IS HELD VALID
Commissioner AVill Be Allowed to

SA1.EM. Or., ".April S. (Special.)
Attomey-Olemeral Crawford today ren
dered an opinion to the effect that the
dairy law passed by the recent session
of the legislature is a legal enactment
and that the .Dairy and Food Commis
sioner slmll have the power of appoint
ing the inspectors provided for under
the law-.
The tatter pol was In dispute, and
in some quarters the legality of the
entire fill has been questioned on ac
count of some confusion in the proced
re whereby the Senate failed to en
roll one of the House amendments.
