PARDEE FACTION MAKES f FIRST MOVE OF DEFIANCE Launching the Opposition to the Present Committee of Twenty-Eight. OAKLAND, Dec, 2L.—The Pardee wing f the Republican party has taken the r ep toward launghing an opposition to the committee of twenty- movement eight. The meeting called together H. Lake, M. K.

If we put a ri Republican ticket in the field we shall surely fail.” Chairman Lukens replied to the last speaker, saying that it was a mistake to punish the party for the crime of indi- viduals, When the resolution was put to a vote it was adopted unanimously.

He was graduated from West Point in 1860 in the | same class with General Joe Wheeler and | many other distinguisued officers and al most immedtately received a commission in the Southern arm After the close of the war he came to the Pacific Coast, locating tn San Francisco. He engaged in newspaper work and won a wide reputa- tion for ability as a writer. Colonel Carroll always retained his in- terest in military matters. He was coa- nected with several milita: organizations while living in San Francisco, notably the famous company of San Francisco Hus sars. For the past ten years Colonel Carroll had been practically an invalid and since 1596 has been confined tc his room in the County Hospital. He had no relatives In California and had of late years lived a secluded life, seeing no one but the hos- pital attendants. He felt keenly the pov- erty of his later life, as in his youth he had been accustomed to all the luxuries and soclal prestige of the old aristocracy. | Among his assoclates In his prosper- ous days he was commonly known as “Prince Charlie,” and ais courteous bear- and genial ways won him many For several vears he was pri- vate secretary to Senator George Hearst.

WATER COMPANY'S INCOME IS KNOWN Figures Finally Admitted by the Monopoly’s Counsel in Rate Case. (IO Oakland Office Ban Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dee. 21 The city’s attorney in the water rate case has finally brought to light the amount of the Contra Costa company's income. This enables the percentage of | its profit on its investment to be com- puted and lays bare the central fact about | which the waged. During the cross-examination of the | company’s bookkeeper, T.

The income, If the new ordinance should cause all the | diminution in profit contended for by the company’s attorneys, would amount eight per cent on the same valuation. This | diminution {s far from being admitted by | Judge Hayne. He has already in his | cross-questioning shown many contradi | tions in the opposition’s estimates promises further disclosures when he puts nis own witnesses on the stand. The testimony concerning the com- pany’s income was not elicited without considerable opposition.

Attorney Moore replied that books of account were indeed sacred and that courts did not allow an adverse party (o inspect them without good cause. Judge Hart observed that the ecity’s ex- perts should be allowed to inspect any books throwing light on the question of | income. At this McCutchen agreed to admit an income of $414,158 92, as before stated. This afternoon the case went over until J“nmr{i with the understanding that Judge Hayne should have a continuance of another week if he needed it.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Third Vice Presi- dent Barr of the Santa Fe system said to-nigat upon being informed that the telegraphers’ strike had been declared off “As far as we are concerned, i has been off a long time. We have all the men we need at present, and we will d charge none of them to make room for any striker who wishes to come back. These men broke their contraet with us in a manner entirely unjustifiable, and we are done forever with the telegraph- ers as an organization. The strike natur- ally caused us annoyance at first, but this lasted only for a few days, and then we were in first-class shape again.” FRESNO, Dee. 2l.—Local _Chairman Hays of the Order of Rallway Telegraph- ers to-night_received the following dis- patch from President M. M. Dolphin: CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—J. W. Hays, Fresno: The strike pending on the Santa Fe system is hereby declared off. Notify alF to promptiy apply for re-employment. M. M. DOLPHIN But six men in Chairman Hays’ division responded to the call to strike when it issued, so the new order does not affeet the telegraphers here very extensively. Chalrman Hays would not express any opinion as to the likelihood of the men etting back Into the road’s employ, but = manner indicated that he had serious doubts about it. Nothing could be learned concerning the intentions of the Santa Fe. The local offi- cers contented themselves with the state- ment that they had all the operators they needed and no vacancies were in sight for the near future.
