In ordinary years the average overflow or surplus that goes out from Clear Lake through Cache Creek is more than enough to supply all the power that can be utilized. Thus the supply will be from the overflow, and the main lake reservoir will not be touched. Ferdinand Formhals, a mechanic who is interested in this scheme and who since 1867 has given much of his time and money to the ctudy of this subject, gives the fol- lowing ex}-lanaxi‘m of how the plans will be successfully carried out without lower- ing the level of the water in Clear Lake. He says: The dam as it will be constructed will eon- trol the waters of the lake in such a manner her floods nor extreme low water need i in the future. - As itis, Seigler Creek ws into Cache Creek at right angles near the let of the lake. Every winter's freshet thousands of tons of debris ‘and bowlders are deposited at the outlet. This is what causes th nds to be flooded every year, and the creek bed ai tne outiet of the comes higher. The plan decided upon : A canal that will be_independent of Creek, that will be large enough to off the flood water, will be cut from the lake to s point below Seigler Creek,and the dam will be so constructed with floodgates as to control the volume of water in the lake. In the winter, when the high floods come, the gates will be opened 8o as to carry oft the surplus, and thus save the low lands from in- dation. When the floods cease the gates 1 be closed, and sufficient water will be held idge over the dry season.

Slocum arrived in this City from the He was looked upon as 8 “young blood,” and while living at Mrs. Lambert’s lodging-house, 710 Cali- fornia street, he spent his money freely. He left the lodging-house several weeks ago and returned on Friday afternoon. He told Mrs. Lambert that he had spent all his money and begged her to give him a room till he got a further supply of funds. Mrs, Lambert took pity upon him and gave him a room. He did not leave it from Friday afternoon till Monday after- noon. He ate no _food, but subsisted on cigarette smoke. Piles of cigarette butts and half-burned matches were found scat- | | tered over the floor of his room.

Judge Campbell sent for the Fire Marshal yesterday morning, as the arrest- ing officer had stated in court that Slocum had set fire to the house, and the facts were explained to the Judge. The Fire Mar- shal gave Slocum some good advice to refrain from being a cigarette “‘fiend’’ and the | try to earn an honest living, but S8locum was inclined to be saucy and the Judge thought ten days in jail would do him good.

His First Address To-Night on the ‘““Acts of the Apostles.”” There is a prospect that San Francisco will follow the East in regard to the mis- sionary extension work, which has taken such deep root in Chicago and other cities. Miss Berry, secretary of the work on this coast, states that permanent results in the way of the formation of classes and possi- bly of a Bible Institute similar to Evange- list Moody’s Institute in Chicago, for the training of young people in evangelistic work, may shortly be realized. As apreliminary step Rev. Robert Mac- kenzie of the First Presbyterian Church has undertaken a series of interesting lec- tures on the *“‘Acts of the Aposties,” to which he has been devoting peculiar at- tention for the last twelve months. The first lecture will be delivered to-night at the Y. M. C. A. building on Stockton and Mason streets. The lectures will be en- tirely free. ——————— Hendy Estate Out of Court. The motions to dismiss the appeals in the Joshua Hendy estate litigation were granted by the Supreme Court yesterdav. A DERELICT COMMISSION, Eleven Railroad Companies That Have Never Submit- ted a Report. EVADING THE CONSTITUTION. Merchants Declare That the Com- mission Is Useless and Ought to Be Abolished. A good many people are of the opinion that the State Railway Commission is a little worse than useless and ought to be abolished. There is nothing particularly new in this opinion, which at one time crystallized in the form of impeachment proczedings. The Commissioners are sup- posed to stand between the people and the corporations 1n the matter of regulating freights and fares. A part of their duty is to gather detailed information relative to railway operation for the information ‘of the Legislature and the people, the same to be published in annual reports to the Governor. -Extensive powers have been granted the commission by the constitu- tion. Section 22 says, after prescribing the manner of election: Said Commissioners shall have the power, and it shall be their duty, to establish rates of charges for the transporiation of passengers and freight by railroad or other transportation companies, and publish the same from time to {ime, with such changes as they may make; to examine_the books, records and papers of all railrond and other transportation com- | panies, and for this purpose they sheall have power to issue subpenas and all other neces- sary process; to heer and determine com- Plaints sgainst railroad and other transporta- tion companies, to send for persons and papers, to sdminister oaths, teke testimony and pun- ish for contempt of their orders and processes in the same manner and to the same extent as courts of record, and enforce their decisions and correct abuses through the medium of the irts. = DS\url(d Commissioners shall prescribe a uniform system of accounts to be kept by all such cor- porations and companies. Any railroad cor- poration or transportation company which shali fail or refuse 10 conform to such rates as shall be established by such Commisstoners, or shall charge Tates in excess thereof, or shall fail to keep their accounts in accordance with ystem prescribed by the commission, shall ned not exceeding $20,000 for each of- fense; and every officer, agent, or einploye of any such corporation or company who shall demand or receive rates in excess thereof, or who shall in any manner violate the provisions of this section, shall be fined not exceeding $£5000, or be im- prisoned in the county jail not exceeding one year. In all controv , civil or criminal, | the rates of fares and freignts established by said commission_shall be deemed conclusively just and reasonable. And again in section 7 of an act ap- | proved April 15, 1880: The process issued by the board shall extend to all parts of the State. The board shall have | power to issue writs of summons and of sub- pens in 1 mannper as courts of record, and ny process issued by the » any county in the State. How the Commissioners have used the power granted them under the law in vears past is a matter of public notoriety. | The present board went into office under | pledges to reduce rates, yet no reduction | has been made or attempted. as far as can | be learned. Notonly have these pledges | to the people been ignored, but, the Com- | missioners have signally failed in their | duty as clearly laid down by the constitu- | tion. Section 6 of the act creating the board makes it the duty of the Commissioners to | notify all railroad corporations engaged in the business of transportation, demanding reports covering all the details of construc- tion, operation, revenue, etc., and. this within thirty days after taking office. The Commissioners are also required to cause blanks to be prepared proposing questions calculated to elicit facts and statistics deemed necessary for the information of | the Legislature. How have the members of the present | board complied with the requirements of this law? No donbt some of the more important transportation companies have been asked for reports. One has complied, the Cali- fornia Railroad—one in eight months. There are eleven railroads in_the State, however, that have not been asked for re- ports. As a matter of fact these compa- nies have never filed & report with any com- mission. The reason 1s apparent. No reports have been asked for. The com- panies referred to are as follows: Bodie and Benton Railroad, Mono County; Smith River Raeilroad, Del Norte Count; Chino Valley Railroad, San Ber- nardino County; Sierra and Mohawk Val- {ley Railroad, Sierra County; Santa Ana and Newport Railroad, Orange County; San Diego and Pacific Beach Railroad Company, San Diego County; California and Nevada Railroad, Alameda County; Pacific Lumber Company’s Railroad, Humboldt County; Southern California Motor Railroad, San Bernardino County; Cahuenga Valley Railroad, Los Angeles Jounty; Pomona and North Pomona Railroad Company, Los Angeles County. These roads are all in active operation and have been for some years. Some of them carry both freight and passengers, while others handle only freight. In length they vary from 15 to 175 miles. The secretary of the commission said yesterday that he had noi notitied these roads to send in reports, because preceding com- missions had not done so. He had never heard of some of them, but lhought that | the matter ought to be looked info. The Commissioners are not hixzhly regarded by the merchants, who, after their pledges to the people, naturally looked for some re- | tef fr’om exorbitant rates. | A representative of George W. Gibbs & Co. =aid yesterday : | “Lam a Democrat and voted for Stan | but 1 am sorry for it now. This board evi- dently intends to do nothing. What have | previous boards done? 1t has always been | a proposition of talk much and do nothing. The commission ought to be abolished. It is a shame to tax people to maintain such | abody.” | Mr. Miller of Miller, Sloss & Scott said : “The Railway Commission is a useless {body. No man of intelligence expectsa redquction of rates, or anything else from | three men owned body and soul by the | Southern Pacific Company. It's the old story._ When has a Railroad Commission | attempted to do_anything for the people? | Pledges—yes I know. What do pledges amount to from those people? The com- mission ought to be abolished.” HANS HANSEN WILL HANG. Judge McKenna Has Named the Day for the Execution. Hans Hansen, the murderer of Mate Maurice Fitzgerald of the American bark Hesper, will be hanged on October 18 next unless the President extends executive clemency. Judge Morrow aat with Judge McKenna on the bench while the latter was passing sentence yesterday. ‘When asked 1f he had anything fo say why sentence of death should not be pronunnces uFon him the prisoner said in a low voice, “I am not guilty.” His attorney then asked that the hanging be postponed to November next in order to get a petition for commutation of the sentence before the President. This was denied, and Hansen and St. Clair the other marderer of Mate Fitzgerald will die on the same day. Han- sen was removed to the Santa Clara County Jail. e gy THE STANFORD APPEAL. It Will Be Heard in the Court of Appeals , Next Month. The Government's appeal in the Stan- ford case will be heard next month. A full bench will be present at that time, and the matter will be gone all over again. ; The Government was represented by board may be served Special Counsel McKissick and Mrs. Stan- ford by Russell Wilson, -Both attorneys tried to have the case argued at an_earlier date, but Judges McKenna and Morrow set it peremptcrily for Beitember 10. The case will probably be heard by Judge Hawley o? Nevada, Judge Gilbert of Oregon and Judge Morrow. SHOT IN THE HEAD. Frank H. Morrison. Driver of a Milk Wagon, Accidentally Wounded by a Cook. Frank H. Morrison, the driver of a milk wagon for Stone & Co,, dairymen, was ac- cidentally shot by Lubinis Vasilicovich, night cook in the coffee-house, 1210 Polk street, about 2 o’clock yesterday morning. Morrison went into the coffee-house and had sometbing to eat. He was sitting at the lunch counter chatting with Vasilico- vich, when the latter showed him a target rifle, which he had bought for killing rats. Just then the cook heard a noise, and thinking it was a rat, turned the rifle around and it went off, the bullet striking Morrison_in the right temple. Vasilico- vich had imagined that the rifle was empty. orrison did not feel much pain from the wound. He went to Dr. Jones for treatment, after which he resumed his work and drove out to the ranch. About 10 o’clock yesterday morning he called at the Receiving Hospital in a dazed condition and soon became unconsciouss The police surgeon found that the bullet bad penetrated the skull and lodged in the brain. Itis thought that the wound will not prove fatal. Detective Gibson was detailed on the case and placed Vasilicovich under arrest. Judge Conlan after hearing the story of the shooting released him on his own recogniz- ance. PLUCKY RICHMOND LADY, Mrs. Steel’s Rare Presence of Mind Probably Saved Her Life. The Blue-Rock Ordinance and Other Newsy Items From the Grow- ing District. A desperate man and a woman with plenty of presence of mind and nerve fur- nished Richmond a sensation last Satur- day, the echo of which can still be keard in the furthermost partsof the district. 0. C. Steel, a once prominent mining operator in Nevada, and his wife occupy rooms at the Weigner House, corner Point Lobos and Eleventh avenues. Saturday after- noon every one was absent from the house except Mrs. Steel. About 1:30 o’clock she went to the door in response to a some- what hasty knock and was confronted by a man shabbily dressed, who grufly de- manded to see the lady of the house. Mrs. Steel told bhim she was not in, when the fellow clutched her by the throat and said: “Give me $5, or I'll kill you. I'm a des- perate man and I want to get out of this town.” Mrs. Steel remembered that in a rear room was a revolver belonging to her hus- band, and as_calmly as possible said, or rather gasped: “You would not kill a woman for such a small sum, would you? Just let go my throat and I will get the money for you.” The feliow did as requested, telling her at the same time to hurry up. In a moment she was back at the door, but in place of the money she held a cocked re- volver in her hand. “Now 5:0,” she said, “or I will shoot you through.” It is needless to say that tbe fellow did not stand on the order of his going, but sped away as such 8 rapid gait that he dis- appeared completely before an alarm could De)fi"n' E rs. Steel is still suffering from the powerful grasp of the ruffian’s fingers, though in other respects she is entirely un- harmed. The Richmond District Improvement Association has requested the Market- street Railway Company to issue transfers to passengers paying fare south of Lake street, going south, to the McAllister street going east, and vice versa. Such an arrangement would give the residents of that district an opportunity of reaching the City contiguous to McAllister strect and the City Hall, without the necessity of going the tiresome, round-about way of Saramento, Powell and Market streets. They argue that a saying of from twelve to twenty minutes could be effected if this system were put in operation, and a thiid of an hour sometimes means a great deal to a business man. As yet the company has taken no definite action in the matter, though it is understood that the request will be granted. “Richmond has a quarry of the finest macadamizing rock ever put on a public thoroughfare, and its residents naturally object to paying a monopoly, price for the use of an article certainly no better and which must be hauled from Telegraph Hill,” said J. H. Bond of the Richmond Banner, in spesking of the blue-rock ordi- nance yesterday. “As Mayor Sutro bas interested’himself in having the obnoxious law repealed, we are led to hope the Supervisors will grant our request. We sent them in to-sny a petition bearing several hundred signatures, and I hardly believe they will ignore what is both a protest and a request. The petition will, of course, be referred to the Street Com- mitltlte' in whose wisdom I have great faith.” ENIGHT AND THE STRIKERS. He Says He Cannot Be Sued for Doing His Duty. Assistant United States District Attor- newKnight is not losing any sleep over the suit brought by the strikers against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, him- self, Marshal Baldwin and half a dozen others for damages. “I was simply acting under instructions as a servant of the Gov- ernment,” said he yesterday, when dis- cussing the matter. “I had no say in the matter, but as acting. District Attorney was compelled to bring the matter before the Grand Jury and was instructed by that body. When true bills were found against the men it was my duty to prosecute them. The case against the Mlnhgl and myself will not stay in court five minutes.” “I expect to receive instructions from Washington to defend Mr. Knight and Marshal Baldwin,” said United States Dis- trict Attorney Foote. ‘‘The papers in the case have not been served, but when ‘hei are I will enter a demurrer. Ido notthin the case will hold water in either instance.’” FOR THE ATLANTA FAIR. A Novel Archway for California’s State Exhibit. Secretary Filcher of the State Board of Trade hasreceived a letter from an orange- box manufacturer at Herlong, Fla., who desires to move his machinery to Califor- fia and make boxes. He makes orange- boxes in two pieces. The letter was for- warded to the Manufacturers’ Association. Secretary Filcher has suggested that a fac simile of the Fourth of July arch that crossed Market street be reproduced at the entrance of the California exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition. The material to be used in_ the construction of the arch will be fruit in jars, preserves and canned fruit, the whole to be surmounted by Solano’s big prune Indian and State shield that is made of raisins.

There Was Quite a Lively Tit in Court During the Hearing of the Case. The contest between Isabella Lodge of | Victoria, B. C., and Mrs. Louis Green- wald, wife of the convicted smuggler, over | the reward for the detection of one of Me- | Lean’s opium-smuggling ventures, was | begun in the United States District Court | yesterday. Miss Lodge gave the informa- | tion that led to the seizure of 800 tins of opium, packed in a case as books and ad- dressed to the priest in charge of the leper settlement in Hawaii, The drug was seized, but for over a year the Government could not condemn it for want of evi- dence. At this juncture Mrs. Greenwald, in hopes of getting a commutation of her husband’s sentence, went before the Grand Jury and swore that the opium was shipped from Victoria by McLean and | Josslyn to Foss, the ex-freight clerk on | the Oceanic dock, and that it was intended | for San Francisco. Smuggler Greenwald and Foss both corroborated her statement, and the obium was sold, the net profit being $2: Half of this sum goes to the informer, and both the women want it. Under 2 most severe and trying cross- | examination Miss Lodge was compelled to | admit she was also known as Mrs. Dono- | hue, and that George Dillon, a storekeeper | in Victoria, B. C., helped her out in the! matter. She overheard two men talking in the postoffice about the shipment of opium, and Dillon found out their names and the address on the case. Dillon wrote the letter she sent to the Collector of Cus- toms at Port Townsend. The letters writ- ten to her by the Goverhment were all re- ceived by Dillon. { All these questions were objected to by the attorney for Miss Lodge, but Attorney Riordan contended that M dummy, and that Dillon was the real in- | | former. ' The witness’ memory was very | treacherous and she got very much mixed | over dates, names and places. In the main she was corroborated, however, by George Dillon. Mrs. Greenwald’s testimony came near bringing the case to an abrupt termina- | tion. She said the information necessary | to condemn the opium was given by her | to Special Agent of the Treasury Moore. This was about the time Foss was arrested. She did not know_at the time that there | was any reward, but when she did learn it | she considered there was no harm in beat- | ing the Government. Judge Morrow—Did you say you were | trying to beat the Government? | Mrs. Greenwald—Well, to be candid with | you, I was. I thought if there was any- thing zoing I might as well have a share. | This took the Judge completely aback for a few momentsand then he said, “‘There is no use in going any further with the case.” | Attorney Riordan disclaimed any knowl- | edge of what Mrs. Greenwald expected to | | do or leave undone and said he had been | | engaged by a man named McNiff of Vie-| | toria, B. C. Other explanations followed | | and it then came out that Attorney Weller | | had promised to divide half the reward | | with’ Mrs. Greenwald if Miss Lodge se- | cured it. Judge Morrow finally put the | case over until this morning. | SENATOR FAIR'S ESTATE, | Various Orders Concerning It Issued Yesterday by Judge Slack. The Proceedirgs in the Will Con- test Continued to No- vember. The Fair will contest was yesterday post- | poned to November 4, Judge Slack so or- | dering upon request of the attorneys rep- | resented in the case. Attorney McEnerney | was willing to proceed with the trial of the i case in September, but the others insisted | that they would not then be ready to pro- ceed, as the test suit concerning the valid- ity of the trust must first be disposed of. The proposed removal of Van R. Pater- son from the position of guardian ad litem of Herman OQelrichs Jr. was taken up, but Mr. Paterson said that Mr. Lloyd had not served a copy of the brief upon him, and s0 he could not consider the matter. The hearing was continued to give an oppor- tunity for the filing of the brief. The administrators have avpplied for authority to refurnish the Lick House and that application was to have been consid- ered, but the discussion was postponed till ‘Wednesday. The following orders were signed by Judge Slack at the request of the special administrators: To lease the premises at 694 and 696 Battery street and 265 Pacific street to Tillmann & Ben- del for five years, at $275 per month during the first three years, and sd&; per month during the following two years.
