WRATHY AT MR. DINGEE READS AND INTERPRETS LAW TO JUDGE ALLEN. She Is Charged With Having the Water Turned Off at the House of Her Tenants. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 29. Mrs. Isabella Martin was arrested in this city this afternoon for an alleged breach of a health ordinance. The arrest was made at the instance of the Health Board on the ground that Mrs. Martin had wilifully risked the health of her tenants by turning off the water without giving notice. The lady was taken before Judge Allen and as she had not $20 to deposit as bail he allowed her to depart on her promise that she would be in court next Monday morning. Mrs. Martin is confldent that at that time she will be released, as she will plead her own case, as usual. “I have fallen a victim to the greed of the combined water companies.of the city,” said Mrs. Martin after her release from the City Prison. ‘‘Some months ago, when 1 wds a patron for my five cottages in Oakland of the Contra Costa company, an agent of Mr. Dingee came along and with much argument induced me to change to his company at 5 cents a month for each cottage. I consented, and before a couple of months had passed by I was presenied with a bill for $2 50 for each cottage and I refused to pay any such price. I made several attempts to see Mr. Dingee, but was never success- ful, and so 1 paid something on_ account and left the balance to be settled when I could meet the president of the company. “This afternoon 1 came over here from my Van Ness avenue residence, and while in Mr. Dingee's office 1 was served with a warrant for a misdemeanor and taken to he City Hall. I then learned that my crime had consisted in the water having been turned off at my Rouses. Health Inspector Perkins told me that I could not get rid of my tenants in that way, and that I must stand trial for my con- duct. I find that Mr. Dingee ordered the water cut off and he is the responsible varty. 1 showed the ordinance to the udge and read to _him that it says ‘any one’ who turns off the water of an in- habited house {s guilty of a misdemeanor and should he punished by a fine of $100 or else be put 10 days in the (‘HK Pris- o on. I suppose they want to make me serve a hundred days. The ordinance is clear, and I told Health Inspector that the warrant should have ved on Mr. Dingee. 1 shall ap- ar in court next Monday morning and hall adjust this wrong in short order.” The case is one of more than ordinary interest, as it involves (hs& fl%h! of a water company to turn off the water | from an inhabited house. | six other Japan THE WATER METERS GO STEADILY ON Auditor Snow Suspicious of a Big Leak. | Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 08 Broadway, July 2. The close of the first month of the fis- cal year under the new ordinance fixing water rates will show some remarkable changes from the old order of thi , €8~ pecially in the cost of water used at the v Hall and its park. The monthly bill of $135 60 for water used on the little park, and which came in for considerable discussion at the meeting of the Board of Public Works, has caused much surprise. Formerly the eity paid but $18 25 per month for hall and park, but since competition between the Contra Costa and Oakland water com- panies has subsided two meters have been put in and under the ordinance a rate of 20 cents per 1000 gallons is charged. The final result of the investigation of the pill has not yet transpired, but several Jffi- clals were xesterday afternoon listening to the click of the meter I front of the Health Board's rooms. “It was found,” sald Auditor Snow, “that the meter seemed overworked, but it was still on deck and doing business. If all the streets used as much water as is used on the City Hall park, according to the meter, over 19,500,000 gallons would be used per month and things would be afloat. I have taken a snap judgment on the Police Department, going through the prison carefully, and I find all plumbing modern and all flushing done by the tank system. They are not using more water in the prison than an ordinary family, and I should be unable to account for the enormous use of water unless it be run- ning into some sewer. “At any rate there is no question but the peopie should own their water plant. It all shows again the necessity of a municipal water supply from the moun- tains pure and unrestricted.” The grass plat at the City Hall park does not cover more than 1500 square yards, and the rate charged prior to com- petition was 5 mills per yard, but since the meters have been in vogue the bills have been: April, $11255; May, $96 4 June, $135 60. Of these amounts $10 & w; segregated as a fair charge for the City Hall proper. The June DIl represents that 678,000 gallons of water were used, but this is regarded as absurd by all City 1all officials. . Mayor Thomas has figured the matter out in a novel way. In round figures 720,- 000 gallons having been used, it would take forty-six sprinkling carts, 500. gallons each per day, thirty-six days to cover the ound. S ELHI proposed to uncover the pipes Jeading to the City Hall with a view of discovering whether or not there is leak. a _—————————— POUNCED ON A COLLECTOR.

Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 29. Attorney C. E. Kinard was squelched this morning by the Supervisors. For several weeks Kinard has been going be- tween the:Supervisors . and - the Grand Jury with numerous complaints regarding the charges made against the county by Constables Koch and Cronin. Kinard has alleged that these charges weré ex- tortionate and illegal, and has tried to have indictments issue as well as prevent some payment by the Supervisors. The constablés retaliated by finding evis dence against Kinard and alleging that his testimony would be of no value. . Thig morning the 'matter came before the Finance. Committee of the Super- visors, but since the charges.were: first filed with them Constable Koch: has bees killed by the Melrose explosion. Kinarg appeared as his own attorney and cited law to the Supervisors, which ex-Judge Nusbaumer, attorney for Cronin, stated was annulled by statute in ‘1883, Ex- Judge Nusbaumer spoke very forcefully agalinst the accusatious and comments of Kinard. “It is an {ll-advised time to file objec- tions to these bills,” sald the Judge. “Kinard has absolutely nothing to:sup- ort his accusations. These bills were legal ones. ' Koch has since laid down his life in answer to the call of duty, and no man could make a more costly sacrifice. Two men have lost their lives within the past year in this township. in obeying the demands of -their office, and yet® here comes Kinard and objects to honest bills for their services. The Finance Committee voted to sus- tain the bills, which will be paid. e KILLED BY AN ENGINE. C. P. Bladt, a San Leandro Farmer, Meets With Sudden Death on His Way to Market. OAKLAND, July 20.—C. P.

Hold Itself Together, 7 Oakland Officé San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, -July 29. {The: Central Christian Church will- go out of existénce next Sunday. ‘ This church, on account of the troubles of the -past flve years, prior to' and during the erratic administration of Rev. Edwards Davis, has. earned more notoriety than any other church in Calffornia - in the same._time, - ‘A call has been sent out for all’ who are interested to attend a meeting next Sunday morning in A. O. U. W. Hall to hear the farewell sermon of the church preached by Elder J. M. Wishart. After the sermon the Central Christian Church will be disorganized and g new institution formed ‘which will incorporate, under a name yet to be chosen. ‘The" dissolution of the Central church is the direct result:of the reports from 8an Quentin in which' Rev. Mr. Davis figured at the execution of Durrant. Bince that memorbale night when the 'pastor’s alleged behavior shocked the tate, the Central Christian Church has been in a turmoil. - Although Rev. Mr. Davis positively denjed the stories andd] brought . forward competent witnesses -to substantiate his denmial, he was- never able to harmonize the "element in his church. An effort was made to remove him, but it failed, and, after continuing as pastor for a few weeks, he resigned. Another pastor was obtained, but he could do nnthlng findncially or spiritually with the divided flock. He struggled for a few months, but when his salary fell short he_decided to go elsewhere, Since Rev. Thomas Sawyer. left the church there has béen no pastor, but the elders have preached by turns. Elder Wishart has been dohig most of the pas- toral .work. A few weeks ago there was wholesale resignation from the mem- ership, and afterward it was discovered that there was not emough left to con- stitute a practical working church. It.is now the desire of the remaining members to get rid of anything suggestive of the “Central” Christian Church of Oakland, and they will start afresh with brighter prospects. This church = flour- ishefl under the pastorate of -Rev. Mr. Davis for over three years, and he by his eccentricitied and sensatfons built up a’ large meémbership, and had it not been for the San Quentin incident he would probably by this time have had a large l;lh(-rmu.-le and a public church ‘in this city.
