CHANCE FOR A BIG -STAKE jNEW DEAL IS REPORTED TO | HAVE BEEN MADE. | President Dingee Says That if Any- thing Be Contemplated by His Rival He Is Not Informed. Oakland Office, San Franclsco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 16. Three months have passed away since | the ordinance fixing water rates as ar- | ranged by Councilman Woodward became | & law, and yet nothing has been done to | enforce it. There is now a report current | that on the 1st of October or at the latest the ist of November i.e new schedule | will go Into effect. This is denied by the water companies, but it is just as posi- | tively stated by those who claim to know what they are talking about. It is declared that the Oakland Water Company and the Contra Costa Company have at last arrived at an understanding whereby water consumers will have ta comply with all the requirements of the ordinance that aroused such a storm of indignation last February and which made Messrs. Woodward and Brosnahan very prominent. For several weeks past the leading spirits of both companies have discussed the matter at the Pacific Union Club in San Franclsco, and it Is now as- serted that while there has been no actual consolidation a pool has been formed by which the high tariff will be put in force and the profits mutually divided. This could have been done on July 1 but for fear of a stampede from one com- en- erally understood that Woodward derlved his inspiration from the new company it was decided not to charge the top notch price at once. The new company, it is said, was willing to use the new schedule if the Contra Costa Company would agree not to accept its customers or to charge a connect,” as patrons who change from one company to another are called. Directors Whittier and Prescott of the old company would not agree to this, thinking that should the new com- pany charge the enormous rates there would surely be a stampede across the street. There was somewhat of a stam- pede, and the new company lost some undreds of connects,” “but not as many the Contra Costa Company an- ticipated. President Dingee stopped this incident by publicly announcing that he would not put the new ordinance into effect. The old rate, it is understood, would realt to the two companies about $350,000 a 5 while the Woodward ordinance would rield a joint income to the two companies orhood of $650,000, or an in- ,000 a_month. Three months people have been ved 375,000, but agreeing to enforce the v ordinance the combination can still $200,000 before the legal rate goes out of effect next July. In this connection it is-stated that some new evidence regarding the water rate scandal of February has been placed be- fore the Grand Jury. The people handling the water business commercially and po- litically are not so solid as they were some months ago, and it would not be surprising if something sensational were to develop before this Grand Jury ad- Journs sine die. ‘W. J. Dingee declares positively that his company does not intend to raise water rates on Novemper 1 or at all. He says he knows nothing of what the other company may be contemplating.

BARRACKS AND MORE HOSPITAL ROOM DEMAND General Millerto Mal{e a Recommendation. AN IMPORTANT RENDEZVOUS THE CONDOR SAILS WITH SUP- PLIES FOR MANILA TO-DAY. Judge Mogan Takes Occasion to Score the Tennesseeans for Their Frequent Disturbances of the Peace. ‘With the possibility that the troops now at the Presidio may remain there for the winter, the approach of the ralny season ralses a serious question as to the proper care of the men. General Miller stated vesterday that he would be forced to move some of the First Washington out of their barracks to make more room for the division hospital and that barracks for the troops would soon be a necessity, as it was not fair 1o the men to keep them in tents during the winter. “As soon as General Merriam returns, if the troops are not to go to Honolulu, I shall recommend the building of a hospital that will ac- commodate 500 beds,” said he. “It is evi- dent that since we have annexed Hawail and may hold the Philippines San Fran- cisco {8 to be the rendezvous for all troops as well as for the sick soidiers. 1 shall also rdyise the building of additional bar- racks for the men, for they will be needed. It has been decided that the seventeen men to be sent to join their regiments at Manila cannot go on the Condor, as she is a freight steamer and has no arrange- ments for carrying passengers. General Miller has telegraphed for power to send these men on the Coptic, which sails to- day. If this is granted him the men will go by way of Hongkong, at an expense of 3130 for each soldier. They will be under the command of Second Lieutenant L. Gilbreth of the Fourteenth Infantry, who goes to join his regiment. The quarter- master of the Third Battalion of the Twenty-third Infantry has been ordered to supply the men with the necessary clothing. General Miller issued an order yesterday for all the prisoners in the various camps who were not needed for the police duty of their own camps to report to Lieuten- ant Watson, Twentieth Kansas, at 9 o'clock this morning for duty. .hey are to do construction work on the big sewer being built back of the Kansas camp. Private Harry Ganet, Company M, Twenty-third Infantry, dled at the divi- sion hospital yesterday of typhold fever. The resignafion of First Lieutenant A. H. McRoberts, Company E, Fifty-first Iowa Regiment, has been handed into General Miller, and will no doubt be ac- cepted. No reason is assigned for the of- ficer's resignation, but it Is generally un- derstood that it has been brought about by inefliciency. There is_a possibility that the 8ixth California Regiment may be mustered out here, after all. It is said that Governor Budd has changed his views, and is now willing_to have the regiment mustered out in San Francisco. On_the 25th of this month Major Gen- eral W. H. Graham will be retired by the War Department because of the age limit law. It is generally understood that Gen- eral Miller will be made a permanent brigadier. Graham is the only artillery officer since the war who has been made a_general officer, and it 1s highly proba- ble that the artillery will be recognized in the appointment of General Miller. His np{)ulmmenl as a brigadier or major general In the regular service will give complete satisfaction to the entire army, and, besides. he is recognized as one of the most efficient and brilllant officers. General Miller will be retired next March. Colonel Babeock, who will arrive here | from Manila on the steamer China on or about the 21st, is to resume his former position of adjutant general of the De- partment of California. The Seventh California has started a subscription for the widow of Henry Hilderbrand, who was killed by Walter Rosser, the young Tennessee soldier. The men expect to ralse between $200 and $300, and their example will probably be fol- lowed by other regiments. Quite a number of young men of the Seventh California propose to go to Ma- pila as private citizens immediately after belng mustered out, their intention being to engage in businéss there. SCORES TENNESSEEANS. Judge Mogan Dismisses the Case of a Colored Barber, Who Drew a Revolver in Self-Defense. Judge Mogan paid his respects yester- day to the Tennessee soldiers who made themselves conspicuous Tuesday night, by dismiseing a case in which George Nor- man, a colored barber, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The evidence showed that Norman Tuesday night went into the Klondike saloon, 406 Dupont street, which is almost opposite his shop, with one of his men to have a drink. While there he was abused and insulted by a number of Ten- nessee soldiers, and one of them drew a fe and forced him out of the sa- loon to the sidewalk, where he was again attacked with the knife. Norman pulled a revolver out of his pocket to defend himself and pointed it at the soldier who ran away. oliceman Heins arrived on ;}em:Lucene and placed Norman under ar- In dismissing the case, the Judge said: It is a shame and a disgrace the way th rough element In the Tennessee regiment is behaving. I know there are a great many good men among them, but the actions of some have shown that there are a great number of ruffians. They seem to have a speclal aversion to colored citizens and Imagine that they have the privilege of attacking colored men and abusing them wherever they meet them. In dismissing this case I will state to this de- fendant, who Is a colored man, and to ail colored citizens of the City and County of San Francisco, that it is their right to protect themselves against assaults made upon them by such ruffians in uniform. If any colored citizen who has been attacked will present a complaint to me, I will Issue a warrant for the arrest of any soidler attacking him without right, and if it is shown on the hearing of the cause the attack s not justified and the only reason for_the attack is that the man as- colored man, L In.a oold I will deal severely DEMUR TO THE CONTEST. Proponents of Adolph Sutro’s Will Ask That It Be Probated. A demurrer to the contest to the appli- cation to admit the will of the late Adg’lflp‘h Sutro was filed yesterday by Mrs. Dr. Emma L. Merritt and W. R. H. Adamson proponents of the instrument. In audition to the statements that the contest of Edgar E. Sutro does not state facts suf- ficlent to constitute a cause of action, the proponents hold in the demurrer that many counts in the contest are ambiguous and that others are vague; that it does not state what delusion the testator was laboring under or what person or persons exert undue Influence over the dead capitalist and caused him to dispose of his Pro, erti; in a manner contrary to. the wishes he entertained prior to éxertion of the interested parties. The proponents, in_consequence, ask that the contest be dismissed, that the will be declared valid and admitted to probate pursuant to the prayer of the petition filed by the pro- ponents. —————— Coroner to Investigate.
