At this_meeting Stanford will be represented by David Brown, Fred Berry and A. F. Cantwell. The Berkeley representatives | will be Everett Brown, Reno Hutchinson | A. E. Cooley was elected president of the and Ralph Fisher. | The question of the place of holding the | annual varsity football game will form | one of the principal topics of discusston. | According to the present agreement the next game will be played at Berkeley, al- | ternating each succeeding year with Palo | Alto. Although neither side is prepared | to offer an amendment both are desirous | of thorough discussion on this point. The | California men believe that for the present | at least the managements would suffer great financial loss should the big game | be playéll any other place than San Fran- | cisco. Stanford will also ask that the sec- | tion of the agreement which reads “after 1900 the annual university football games shall be held on the second Saturday in | November” be ovened for discussion. There is still considerable doubt in both | universities about the practicability of | changing the date the game from Thnnk‘sg‘l‘;’\ng“dn)&.

When the water rate case was called | this morning Attorney McCutchen began | on a new list of catch questions, which he | had devised for the undoing of Engineer E. Moore, the city’s expert, who, at yesterdav's hearing, placed a valuation of | less than three millions on the Contra | Costa Company's system. | The court allowed the questions to go in, | although not strictly relevant, on the ground that they would test the theory of | valuation upon which the witness had based his calculations. The questions all | aimed at the admission of outside factors | as parts ot the basis of valuation for }wn;er plants. Demand, rates and avail- abllity of supply were all considered, but the witness resisted every attempt to move him from his original mode of com- | putation. The water company’s experts | based their calculations in a large meas- | | ure upon a supposed exclusive control of | | the sources of supply by the Contra| | Costa Company. This factor has so far | been absolutely ignored by the experts ! called by the city to fix the value of the ! ¥'s plant. | sing,” sald McCutchen, “sup- posing that a plant is yielding no income Now you don't mean to say that still worth what it would cost to re- | produce it?” “‘Yes,” answered Engineer Moore, “it is.

Of | course, the demand for the water is pre- supposed.” |~ “But do vou place no value on the good will of a company, the chance of its busi- ness increasing, and should not a com: pany be recompensed for its early losses?” | | The witness thought this had nothing | to do with the subject on which he had | the value | been called to testify, namely, of the Contra Costa Company’s water sys- | tem | _“I cannot undertake to judge,” he ex- plained, “what compensation a water com: would in equity be entitled to for | the loss of its business. But the value { of the plant itself depends on the cost of duplication and on that alone.” Asked whether his figures would not be inadequate to cover the ~xpense of actual | construction work, the “yvitness said that as an engineer he should feel fustiried in advising a client on the strength of his estimates. | “But vou know that when it comes to carry out a plan there are always unfore- | seen expenses?” hazarded the attorney. 3 wed 20 per cent of the gross mates as a contimgent fund | all extra expenses,” replied | the witness. “It is my judgment that that is ample.” | After Engineer Moore hiad been H Sécretary Edward McGary of the wates | company was called by the company's | to complete some unfinished arding running expenses. | m.ngflxe' = | know why they didn't take som’:znnel tfi:‘. months before the trial began.

Sec- Dow; City Engineer, M. K. Mil- ler; Treasurer, Felton Taylor; Auditor, A. H. Breed. These flve nominations were made by the Municipal League conven- tion this evening. It took less than ten minutes to agree on the nominations after the convention got to work, but it took more than three hours to get to work, and the convention did not get down to mak- ing nominations until after part of the Fifth Ward delegation and scattering delegates from one or two other wards had walked out of the hall and refused to participate. The split came when the convention went Into executive session, as is usual in conventions of the Municipal League, and | started to caucus upon candidates. A proposition was made that the convention nominate the five general officers to-night and leave the ward officers to the future. This brought out opposition from almost the entire Fifth Ward delegation and from a few members of other delegations, but it was evident that the bulk of. the convention was willing to nominate at once and had its mind made up as to candidates. John E. Farnum and H. A. Powell were the chief advocates of imme- diate procedure, while D. Edward Collins and R. H. Chamberlain wanted the con- vention fo merely organize and then ad- | Journ. When the convention returned to publ'c e once more the larger portion of the ifth Ward delegation, including D. Ed- ward Collins, A. T. Stewart, F. F. Bar- 13. C. Borland and some others, and R. H. ; Chamberlain of the Seventh Ward, did not accompany the main body. | The convention was at a loss what to ! do for a while. Motions were made that the entire convention once more go into executive session, and another that the | public be excluded from the room, which motio the marshal started to execute. | Then John E. Farnum jumped to his feet |and moved that if the Fifth Ward dele- gates wanted to consider candidates or do | anything else they be given fifteen min- utes in which to do it. C. S.

D o aca i aaa WORLD HELPS THE HEBRES Repression Makes Them Potent Force Among Men of All Professions. . —_— Rabbi Jacob Nieto preached a powerful sermon last night at Temple Sherith Israel on what the world has done for the Jews. He spoke in part as follows: “The world has made the Jew to-day the most potent factor of civilization. By denying him education they stimulated his desire to get it; by forcing him into vaye they made him determined to the world as the equal of any man. Constant repression has made the Jews more potent than if the world had opened its arms to them. ““Why are Jews successful to-day? Is it because they are a chosen people? No! it is mot because of that, it is because of their repression. That which we easily procure has no value, but set a man to gain an object the way to which is beset With obstacles and chain him as you will he'll still struggle on and gain the goal. The world has done us many services, but none greater than this of repression. ““The world has done us another favor. It hae made us recognize that a religion must be universal: no racial religion can receive recognition. Some day our reli- glon must be remodeled till all peoples can join us in our worship and we in theirs. “You can never go back, for, as the Bible itself says, ‘you can no more re- turn by Egypt.’ No more can you invest an old bellef with new power. The world has made us grasp our situation. The world has made us know that no matter though we were the pioneers of religion we must be now in the advance guard: we must endeavor to reach those heights Thanks to the world, we have of our race to-day men who can undertake anything within human power to accomplish.” From_the pulplt of Temple Emanu-El Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger last night spoke faellnclr of Queen Victoria in connection with a lecture on “Royalty In Great Brit- n.” His words in part follow: ‘“The royalty of England is not like that of any other country. The throne is closely allied to the people. Royalty in England is purely an outcome of the elec- toral franchise. ‘The English people are more free than any other people on earth Should the throne atempt to circumscribe those liberties the people will remind the rone that they have a power above the | throne when their freedom is involved. Let it be said there has departed one who has contributed more to the cause of lib- | ert; than any other monarch in this age. | ““There may have been greater women | on ‘the throne—a better never. She had an insatiate love of her country. To make it rival Rome in her days of glory was her ambition.” | PRICE PRESENTS PETITION FOR HIS REINSTATEMENT | JTudge Hebbard Hears Testimony Bearing on His Disratement as | Lieutenant of Police. | Sergeant of Police Willlam Price, ac- companied by his counsel, appeared before Judge Hebbard yesterday to prosecute his petition for a_writ of mandate to compel the Board of Police Commissioners to re- store him to his old rank of lieutenant of police. | th th FORM OF NEW (UP DEFENDER Dimensions of Lawson's New Racing Yacht Are Made Publie.
