Mr. Dockweiler was *ived. He made a brief talk in which he ga some detailed infor- mation col ng the water plant. The City ngineer placed himself squarely on the same platform with the Mayor in the battle for municipal hip. 1In 1891, Mr. Dockweiler, as er, made the first report on the wate ¥’s plant and {ts con- dition and v: . He reviewed his past work in - this connection, and then turned his attention to the late report on the vaiue of the plant which was made. under his supervision. Mr. Dockweiler made-a telling speech, and his popularity was attested by the hearty applause with which his re- marks wepe received. Councilman L. M. Grider, one of the two faithful Councilmen, was the next speaker. He was warmly received by the people, who understand his posi- tion and, who were not at all slow about recognizing it as well as the gentleman himself. M Grider's .remarks were merely a review of the effort he and is ¢olleague has made for municipal ownership in the Counci The next speaker excited the most enthusiasm of any citizen who ad- deressed the meeting. It was Milton Carlson, who is an instructor in the city High School. Mr. Carlson took up the subject of the muzzled press, and his reference to the attitude of the Times, Herald and Express and his comments thereon met with popular approval. He was cheered to the echo, Among other things Mr. Carlson said: “We have here in Los Angeles a muz- zled press on this water question. It is impossible for us to secure any advice or instruction through it, as to our Resolved, Second—That the Council be requested to forthwith legally notify the water company that the improvements ed upon the system beyond what is ary absolutely for the maintenance of the same until the expiration of the lease is contrary to public policy, and as many of the improvements are entirely unnecessary for the sald purpose of maintenance and do not accord with the p f n for the water stem for the mu- nicipality as outlined by the engineer in charge. | Resolved, Third—That the council be | requested to invite the Mayor and the City Engineer to participate in all fu- ture negotiations with the water com- pany. Resolved, Fourth—That inasmuch as the subject matter of water is one of vital importance to each and every citi- zen, to the end that an entirely adequate and complete system may by obtained, E: s eariy a date as possible, under mu- bal control and operation, it is d able that a permanent cured to represent the citiz in this important matter and to co-operate with the Council, to bring about the result without any unnecessary | delay. Therefore a committee is hereb; named, to be known as the “Citize Committee on Municipal Ownership said committee to consist of one mem- ber from each ward and the chairman of this meeting to be ex-officio a member of the committee and to name such com- mittee within a reasonable time. Resolved, Fifth—That -we lend our thanks to all public officlals that have thus far in this struggle upheldy he rights of the people and remained true to their trust and their pledges, and that we extend our thanks to all new rs, whether published here or elsewhere, for assisting the people in this contest. Chairman Hazard, as soon as the resolutions were read, asked if there was any discussion or suggestion inthe way of amendment. There was absolutely none, but there were loud cries from all over the hall, “Adopt them, adopt them.” This was then done. ‘The next speaker introduced was Ed- ward L. Hutchison, the Councilman | from the Eighth Ward. Mr. Hutchison took a pronounced stand in favor of the Council at once taking the neces- sary action to have at hand the money to buy the water company’s improve- ments to the city’s plant at the expira- tion of the lease. The speaker re- ferred to the abuse which he and his confrere, Councilman Grider, had been subjected to by the water company’s local press for their efforts to cause the corporation to come to terms under conditiops’ of their contract. Mr. Hutchison said: “The Times, Herald and Express do not seem to b worried about the people, but they a | worried for feur the Water Company | is not going to be accorded its legal | rights. If every paper in the city will simply fight for the rights of the | municipality you mneed not have one | bit of fear about the water company enforcing every right that is guaran- | teed it under the contract. The local | press need not be alarmed on this | score.” And then there was tremendous ap- plause. | At this jupcture Chairman Hazard | announced that he had had some ex- | perfence in the manner in which the water company secured defenders. He said when he was Mayor of the city an | endeavor was made to defeat an issue | of sewer bonds and the water company had actually secured the Attorney | General of the State to come from Sac- ramento and defeat the will of the peo- ple. The Attorney-General, Mr. Haz- { ard said, afterward admitted to him | that he had appeared here in the mat- | ter at the instance of the secretary of | .the Los Angeles Water Company. | "*This," eaid Mr. Hazard, “shows you | how easy it is for the water company to secure defenders in high places.” | Ernest Abs Hagen, the civil engin- eer, was the next speaker. He first quoted the following statement printed by the Times: “The present water | system of the city is the result of far- | sighted sagacity and enterprise. Every | feature of this system represents the most serviceable material and mode of | construction obtainable; the service for | all purposes never fails.” | Commenting on it, Abs Hagen said: | “This is the statement of the water | company’s advocates, who counsel de- ' lay in acquiring the same for city pur- | | poses. Let us look at the other side | of the picture, and we find that the | | sizes of the mains are below the mark, | | that the condition of the mains is ex- | | tremely bad, that poor and cheap ma- | \ terials were originally used, that the | ‘ service is inadequate for any demand | thereupon. These resuits were found by the city’s investigation, ‘which | proved that out of 308 miles of mains | not less than 241 miles are mains of | | data REPLY OF ENGINEER DOCKWEILER TO ABS | . HAGEN'S AFFIDAVIT, Answers in Detail the Sworn Statements Made by His Former Sub- ordinate. ‘\ LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29 { neer Dockweiler, who was yesterday made the subject of an affdavit by Abs Hagen, has given to The Call cor- | respondent the following clear and lucid signed statement as to the affair: In reference to the published affidavit | of Abs Hagen, recently an employe of the city of Los Angeles as a subordinate in my office, I desire to make the following brief statement: Abs Hagen, in connection with the other engineer! W mployed by me to compile from official and water company an estimate to enable me to place a_valuation on the Los Angeles C Water Works. In compliance with in- tions recéfved from me and working my personal supervision, Abs assisted in the c pilation of the report now on file in office of the City Clerk of Lo ps In the affidavit mentioned Abs Hagen e S d th Vi three 1 City Engi- to the progress work and felt in wise obligated to report to Abs Ha or any other of my subordinate eng neers, In characterizing the report submitted by me to the City Council as being es- sentially his own work, Mr. Abs Hagen is correct, 4n so far as the work was done under my instructions and od no | undef my personal supervision and finai review In my capacity as city Tn reference to the allegation made by Mr. Abs Hagen that on Ju , 1897, 1, in consultation with him, reviewed the itemized estimates and insisted upon raising the figures therein contained, thereby increasing the amount of the to- tal estimate $186.000 over and above the alleged “true estimate” previously made by Mr. Abs Hagen, I have on y that there was no estimate un: port as city engineer was file ADE t forth no nf figure increase incorporated in my fins City Council speaks for itself matter of public record. 1 sav sity at the time, nor do I now reason for making a detailed expla of my actions to Mr. Abs Hagen or any other of m 1 will further s . made as a matter of equity and simple justice to the water ompany and’ in thé line of my duty as a servant of the people of Los Angeles Cit Reference to my report to Council will verify the atement that my figures, as submitied, will show a reduc- tion of $1.809,345 on the valuation of 000,000 as fixed by the water company its’ valuation of the Los Angeles City water plant. Reference to my report will reveal the fact that the deductions from the figur by courtesy designated as Abs Hagen Jflu the other items in theschedule of in- T i sed valuation, reduces the sum total se to $23.480, which plus 10 per cent for contingenci a sum total increase of $12 every tem of which is legitimate and just from s standpoint. ation made by Abs Hagen that I consulted with Mr. Mulholland, super- | intendent of the water comvany, and Engineer Fred Eaton. is cor- uited with each of the gen- tlemen named in my official capacity as city engineer, to the end that I might acquire such ‘expert testimony as would place me in a position to best conserve the interests of the city. In_this relation 1 desire to emphasize the fact that Mr. Abs Hagen was himself in constant communication with Mr. Mul- holland, a circumstance rendered imper- ative by the complex and intricate nature of the work in hand, a fact which will be attested by every competent engineer. By way of addenda I will add that Mr. | Abs Hagen exceeded his authority as my | subordinate in consulting with Mr. Perry, | the president of the Los Angeles Water | , at the latter's residence, rel tive to matters which properly beiong: to the city of Los Angeles. These facts, | coming to my notice after the filing of | the report, influenced me to dispense with the services of Mr. Abs Hagen. The report, as made by me to the City Council, Is a matter of record. It is mi- nute as to detail and is the best, in fact the only legitimate answer to the idle vaporings of Mr. Abs Hagen. | (Signed) J. H.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call, NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—A dispatch to the World from Dublin says: The in- dustrial world i{s having an object les- son in the Bismarckian masterfulness of the Croker family. It has attracted general attention to an otherwise in- ignificant strike on the Cork, Bandon and South Coast Railway. Richard Croker’s brother is the man- ager of that railroad. The men had scarcely left work on a strike when he gave them an unexpected taste of his quality. Instead of negotiating for a compromise Croker issued instanter a statement declaring that theyhadacted illegally and to the danger and injury of the public by quitting work without notice. He warned the men that they would all be prosecuted with the ut- most rigor; that their places would be filled immediately, and that no one, un- | der any circumstances,” would be re- instated in the company’s service. > As a final blow, when the chief sec- retary of the Amalgamated Soclety of Railway Servants of Great Britain went especially to Cork to negotlate with the company, Manager Croker ab- solutely refused to see him or to recog- | nize the right of the society to inter- | fere, These high-handed and Draconian measures have excited the intense ad- miration of Croker's fellow railway managers daring programme he will have inau- gurated a new era in the history of railway strikes. Up to the present time he has not succeeded in filling the men’s places, but all traffic is kept up on the railway, the clerks acting as guards and porters. Croker himself is working night and day in that capaci- ty, actuated by his firmly expressed resolution to fight the strikers “to the bitter end.’ SEng Soes Prize Fight at Angels Camp. ANGELS CAMP, Jan. 29.—Tom Car- keek of Stockton defeated Charles Slater of this city in a fifteen-round fight here to-night. It was. the fast- est contest ever seen in the mountains. Carkeek was given the decision on his work from the sixth to the ninth rounds, inclusive, when he attempted to end the fight, but Slater took the punish- ment and succeeded in knocking his opponent down in the fifteenth round.

Both men were over | the heavy weight limit. After the second round had lasted one and a half minutes Childs landed | his right squarely on the jaw, and Armstrong went down in a heap. He was down nine seconds, and, when he arose, Childs tapped him lightly and Armstrong went down flat on his face. He staggered up again, wobbled across the ring, and sat down helplessly in a corner. He was utterly unable to fight, and Referee George Siler awarded the fight to Childs. After the decision was given Arm- strong went tottering around the ring, and wound up in Childs' corner. Childs took him in his arms and let him gently down to the floor, where he remained. He was unable to leave | the ring for several minutes. George Kerwin of Chicago, ir® the 125 pound class, knocked out McHale of | Denver in one minute. Ritchie of St. Louis deféated Dwyer of Chicago in the preliminary of the 115 pound class, and Forbes of Chicago in the final. “Shorty” Ahern and Jim Dewar, two local men, fought a six-round draw at 145 pounds. e BROWN MUST GIVE PROOF. Berkeley Man’s Charges Against Eastern Athletes to Be Investigated. NEW ‘YORK, Jan. 29.—President Oli¥er Sbiras of the Intercollegiate Athletic As- sociation said tg-day that the executive committee of the assaciation would call on Captain Brown of the athletic team of the University of California to substan- tiate the charges of professionalism he made against Eastern college athletes. The matter of demanding proof from | Captain Brown will come up at-a meet- ing of the executive committee of ths | association on February 25. Mr. Sbiras | says that if Captain Brown fails to sub- | stantiate the charges he has made, and which are a serious reflection on the am- | ateur standing of athletes of leading | eastern universities, he will be disci- | plined. | The executive committee is composed of President Sbiras, A. T. Kirby of Co- lumbia, C. B. Kendrick of University of | Pennsylvania, and Henry H. Howe of | Harvard College. The gentlemen named are indignant becauseof Captain Brown's | accusations and it is not impossible that | the University of California, which insti- | tution holds membership in the Intercol- legiate Assoclation, may be expelled from membership if it does not do all In its power to assist the committee in its work.

He pleaded illness as an excuse for shirking an interview, and would say wothing at all on the matter except to hint that there had been a good deal of talk of one kind and another going on in political circles, and that inquiry of Secretary Holbrook would bring out all that was in the affair. Supervisor Thomas W. Rivers; when heralded by “Parson” Davies as a | ing of the affair. Rivers is a member | of the Health and Police Committee of | the Supervisors, and he, together with | Delany, Haskins, Rottanzi and Devany. | recommended that Holbrook be moved from his position as poundmas- der and Osborn be put in his place. Rivers further said that he did not believe that there was a word of truth in the eharge against Delany, and that he himself would not be a party to such a proceeding. He was inclined to treat cloudy and the track fair. the affair as a huge joke, and said there | Fred Barr were the on! was ncthing in it.
