Kowalsky Makes Claim to Notes Held by Other Litigants. The record in the actions of several claimants ~against Kate C. Byrne was augmented vesterday by the filing of two complaints in: intervention by Henry L Kowalsky. The first complaint is directed against J. F. Clarke as plaintiff in o suft against Mrs. Byrne and Henry Mohr to recover 32000 on a note jssued several years ago. Kowalsky, as intervenor,: al- leges that the note is his: property, and he asks the court to deny ‘the prayer of Clarke and instead order that the amount of the note be paid to him. The second complaint is against Henry Mobr . as plaintiff in_an action to .recover - $27,300 from Mrs. Byrne and various defendants. Twelve thousand dollars of .the sum sued for by Mohr is in the shape of a note originally issued by Mrs.. Byrne to Sol Ephraim, and later transferred to. Mohr. Kowalsky alleges that he paid $2000 for a’ half interest in the note, and asks that Mrs. Byrne and associate defendants be: ordered to pay him half the face of -the: note, $6000, and interest. 7 Wants Rent or Rooms. ~ , The second trial of the-action of Mrs. Abby M. Parrott against Attorney Geéorge Lezinsky and several sub-tenants for- al- leged unlawful detainer of several rooms in the Parrott building commenced be- fore Judge Daingerfield yesterday morn- ing. The legal forces of both litigants are increased and an interesting contest is ex- ected. Peter F. Dunne and:'Robert Y. ayne represent the plaintiff in the ac- tion, and George Lezinsky has retained Attorney William H. Chapman to assist him. After the opening statement had been made Adolph Fiest, president of the Emporium Company, was called to the stand. He had not concluded his testi- mony when the case went over until this morning. —_————— Go to O'Brien & Sons’ for modern style, high grade Surreys, Phaetons and Bug- gles at low prices.

MR. STEWART.AND PINE PILES Refuses to Give the Lowest Price for Such Timber. George W. Stewart; the manager of the Pacific Company, in alluding to the allegation that he whs recelving a larger price for piles than is usually paid by the Harbor Commissioners, would neither at- firm nor deny the report. He. claims to have quoted prices to the board in dire¢t competition ‘with the other .lumber dealers whose names were mentioned in_the original bid, and his price being the most favorable to that body for what reason he will not say he was awarded the contract. 3 He emphasizes the fact that he did not receive more than the jobbing price for his lumber by entering into a long dis- cussion of the relative prices of pilas and the competition war that is being waged" by the lumber companies of the Sta for _the. disposal of this kind of tale terial.- Mr. Stewart was extremely taciturn on the subject of the value of pine lumber for the mionths of October, November and December ‘of last year, and he re- fused to_cite the lowest price for piles during that time, giving as an excuss that it would involve several hours of fatiguing search of the records. The price at which piles were disposed of, however, during those months is as fol- lows: For October and November the re- tail, jobbing and ‘¢argo prices were $16, $13 dnd $11, r!'lpeutlvel{; December the price increased $17, $14 and $12 a thousand. 5 _ Stewart claims that last month prices were cut by some of the lumber com- panies to $5, but he . does not admit the Pacific Pine Comnany is one of the cor- porations that made the reduction. = R i to One Dose Will Stop a Cough.

He appeared before Judge Low and the case was continued till to-day. : Horrigan went home drunk Monday | night, and as usual, when in his cups, commenced to abuse his wife. As he had often threatened ‘‘to do for:-her’” and acted In a threatening manner she became scared and fled from the house with her three children, Herbert, 13 | years of age, Birdie, 9, and Chester, 7. : The boys had not time to put on their | shoes or get their hats,and the mother and children hours -in: the rain - without knowing where to go for shelter.

The children “were cold and hungry and the elder boy suggest- ed-that he should go to the restaurant | tleful of hot-coffee and some bread.

As-he was | returning he was. met by Policeman Belyea = 'who - questioned - him and promptly-rang for the - patrol wagon and '-the'-mather -and children were taken to the Seventeeth-street station where. they-were properly cared for by Lieutenant Burke. “A few hours. later they were taken to-the City Prison and placed i1® charge of the matron: Policemen Belyea and White went to Horrigan’s house and found him in a drunken sleep in bed. He was com- pelled to put on his clothes and accom- pany the officers ‘to the police station where a charge of cruelty to children was registered aganist him. He felt bitter against his wife for being the means of causing his arrest, and she told the police yesterday that if he got out of prison she believed he would kill her. “He is a quiet man when he is so- ber,” sald Mrs. Horrigan, ‘but unfor- tunately that is not often, and when he is drunk he quarrels with every- body, including myself. He has sev- eral times taken the pledge, but in every instance broke it almost imme- | diately. I want to get away from him with my children, as I don’t believe he can_ ever stop drinking.” Officer McMurry of the :Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to -Children is looking after the case and will see that the mother and children are pro- vided Tfor.

Little Pumping Episode Which Also Failed to Be Shown as Expense. DANGEROUS IGNORANCE. Old Meémbers of the City Council Show a Remarkable Want of Knowledge. There are some things regarding the finances of the two Oakland water companies: which the reports filed with the City Clerk of that city last Mon- day do not show. For instance there is nothing in the report of ‘the Oakland Water Company { showing the amount of money pald for waterbacks for the stoves that have been injured by the alkali in the water. Notwithstanding this discrepancy it is a well-known fact that when subscrib- ers have ‘complained that the water ‘was ruining their stoves, the president of the company promised to replace all the waterbacks that ~were injured. Not only did he make these promises, but it is said by those who are in a po- sition to know that the promises were s0 well fulfilled that for a while it looked very much as. if there would be a deficiency in.the funds of the com- pany because of the frequent demands for making over stoves. Then, again, there i3 nothing in these reports to ‘show how much money was paid out for negotiating loans of vari- ous sorts or for selling stock, yet it is well understood - that both companies have paid good commissions to various people. for their assistance in obtain- | ing financial aid for the erstwhile war- ring corporations. For instance it is reported, and on very -good -authority, too, that a gen- tleman named Moffatt got quite a lit- tle sum of money and would have got- ten quite a deal more had he succeed- | éd in getting the plant of the Oakland | ‘Water Company unloaded upon the \‘city for the neat sum of $6,000,000. Of | ‘cqurse the fact that the plant was not . worth-ene-sixth of that sum made no | difference in_ the contract.. Unfortu~ |'nately for the plans of the company | #nd Mr. Moffatt and Mr. Dargle a re- |form :Council took hold of affairs and | the whole matter fell- through. It fell i -through so far-in fact ‘that the com- | pany was compelled to sell water in or- uge under a sidewalk atArmyand Mis- | der to keep up appearances. These lit- | tle things will ‘happen to prevent pro- I'moters from -carrying .= out their schemes, Had it not been for the reform Coun- cil putting a stop to the proposed sale; it is possible that the. Contra Costa | Water Company would" not have had time to. .get that ldrge ' centrifugal pump to work on the pond where the | Oakland artesian wells are located. | It may not be generally known, but | it is a- fact, that the artesian wells { which are supposed to supply a perpet- ual and unlimited quantity of water of | the purest sort are located in a little | fresh water pond at the-mouth of a creek which rushes down with such § force that it keeps the salt water of the |'ocean out of the wells. The. encroach- | ment of the sea upon these wells has | been noted, however, and the result + has been that it was necessary to dig other wells farther back from the in- coming tides. The little fresh water pond in which the wells are located is a delusion and { a spare so far as keeping the water in the wells free from saline pollution: is concerned, as was conclusively shown when the Contra Costa Water Com- pany took it upon itself, for the good of the public, of course, to see just how much of a defense the pond was. This friend of the public, at considerable ex- pense, sent across the bay toSan Fran- cisco and hired one of the largest cen- | trifugal pumps. A corner of the pond was leased and the pump set to work. From late in July until early in Octo- ber, in the year 1895, the residents of the vicinity were annoyed by the con- stant thumping of the big pump, but what was a little ‘annoyance to a few ‘when the welfare of a whole commun- ity was at stake? The pump kept on, and suddenly. the people who wereac- customed to the -clear and pellucid water of the Oakland Water Company began to get. a bad taste: in their mouths, and many a dinner was spoiled and many a man used words that:are considered: improper in polite society, and rushed to the nearest dispenser. of liguid refreshments in order to get that tired feeling from his mouth. The wa- ter was decidedly brackish. The pumps had done their work well, and the fresh water pond had disappeared in the bay and the salt water had come in and contaminated the wells. The Oakland Water Company’s wa- ter had been proven bad by that great friend of the public, the Contra Costa ‘Water Company: Had Moffatt. and Dargie attempted ‘to make that $6,000,000 sale and inci- dentally. rake in that $200,000 the Con- tra Costa. Water Company, in the ordi- nary parlance of the day,wouldn’t have done a_thing to the sale. The company. that had those artesian wells then hus the same wells now, and it is called by President Dingee, the com- ‘pany which. posed as the benefactor of the public -at ‘that 'time, .and. the com- ‘pany which was held up .as a horrible example, now lie down -peacefully to- gether,. and have formed a combina- ‘tion, or “agreement,” which means that the city of Oakland is in danger. = . The people have great: confidencé -in the personnel of the City Councll, but stranger things have . happened than that people have trusted officials”to their sorrow. “If the Indications as shown by interviews go for arything CASTORIA For Infants and Children, - fac- nli'l.lll : ) | THETHEATER JS THOROUGHLY HEATED. ANCIAL REPORTS CTHAT DID NOT TELL EVERT TRANSACTION Oakland Water Companies Had Some Ex- penses Which Were Not Down on the City Clerk’s List. then the people must look out for the members of the Council who think that there is a possibility that the rates need adjusting. ‘When one trusted member of the City Council is not only the bosom friend of the manager of the Contra Costa Water Company, but also has a large amount of that company’s stock, if reports are true, it is time that his actions were given close - scrutiny. When another member of the Council who has been in his seat through all the changing vi- cissitudes of party affiliations and in whose back room every water rate has been adjusted that has been fixed for | years says . that he knows nothing about water rates it begins to look as if something were wrong. And there are others who will also bear watching. It does not look right when ‘the oldest members of the Coun- cil show the densest ignorance regard- ing matters that are of ‘vital interest to their constituents. Chairman Henneberry of the Fire and Water Committee will call a meet- ing this week for the purpose of start- ing the readjustment. What this com- mittee may do will have its effect on the action of the Council, and it is in this committee that the arguments of water companies will be made. It fis incumbent upon the people, if they de- sire to protect themselves from an ex- tortionate rate, to see to it that the ac- tion of this committee be open and above board. Military Social Club. The second grand ball of the Presidio Sccial Club will be given at Union Square Hall on Tuesday evening, February 8.
