The meeting was called to order by | Carey Howard, presiaent of the Muni | cipai” League, who toia = .littie about the viganization ana the lite of the organ- ization. . He said that the same forces | were at work In the present campaign that were at work when the league was organized, and tnat the same reasons ex- | isted now’ for the league as existed when | it_was born. |, Walter G.” Manuel, nominee of the league for Mayor, declared flatly for municipal ownership of water supply, saying: “There are two available supplies of water, both of which are amply sutticlent | for the needs of this city, which can be | obtained by the municipality for about 2,000,000, Interest upon tie bonds for this | amount would be 3100,00) a year, a sink- ing fund for the redemption of these bonds would mean $50,000 more, and | operating expenses would be $0,000 more, or a total of $200,000 a year to be ralsed by this plant by water rates, as against $47 now paid by the rate payers of Qak- !land to the Contra Costa Water Com- pany upon a basis of 34,000,000 valuation. if the Contra Costa Water Company wins the suit now pending in the Superidér Court we will have 1o pay water rates upon double that valuation, or nearly $1,000,000 annually for water rates. As the city now receives less than half a million of dollars in taxes each year, we are now paying nearly as much water rates as | taxes, and in the event of the company’s winning this suit would have to pay double the water rates that we do taxes. ‘““The ownership of a municipal plant wouid not affect taxes, for the piant would pay for itself by water rents. The cand!- dates of the Municipal League ticket are ledged to put the machinery for secur- ng a municipal water supply in operation at once they are in office.” Judge J. 5. Haven spoke for non-parti- sanism in municipal affairs and sald that party lines should not control where the business interests of the city were af- fected. W. A. Dow, candidate for City Attorney, also spoke in favor of non-partizanism in city airs, and then said: “The Contra Costa Water Com: y has absolute control of the tickets of the two great national parties, and do you want that corporation to control the affairs of our city for the next two years? You all now what the Contra Costa Water Com- pany has done In the years gone by when R controlied the politics of this clty. Fos a few years there was competition, and | then it bought off its rival. The first thing that it did was to burn the books of its rival, and its own, The second thing that it did was to bring a suit to force an ab- normal valuation after having destroyed the best evidence of the amount of its in- yestment—the books. “Under the valuation that they propose the cit§ will have to pay nearly a miiilon dollars in water rates a vear. It has be- come a question of whether the city woull acquire a water supply or the water sup- ply acquire the eity.” M. K. Miller, candidate for City En- gineer, said: “You all know what the Contra Costa Water Company has done in this-city for the last twenty-five years, and from ‘s present actions it does not seem to have mended its ways. It is keeping in politics in the same old way. It purchased the | Republican City Centrai Committee for gold coin, and now It is trying to get a ticket that will do its bidding. It does not want a Mayor that will sign a low water rate ordinance: it does not want a City Attorney that will prosecute the water rate suit; it doca not want a City Engineer that will report favorably upon a municipal water supply; it does not want a City Council that will frame a low water rate ordinance; it does not want a eity officer that will not do its bidding.” Other_speeches were made by A.

MAN FROM MEXICO LOSES HIS -CASE Threatens to Accomplish His Ends Outside Court’s* ~ Jusisdiction. auif S Judge Expresses Opinion That From [ Testimony a Judgment of Insan- ity Against Defendant Might Be Justifiable. SRR Gakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway,. Feb. 16. Adam Mantel, whose marital troubles have brought him prominently before the public as “‘the man from Mexico,” con- ducted ard lost his own case in the di- vorce proceedings brought against him by his wife before Judge Hall to-day. The testimony given at the hearing de- picted two thrilling scenes in the couple's fleeting marrfed life. Mantel said that thé circumstances in each case goaded him to the point of madness, a statement eagerly corroborated by Mrs. Mantel and concurred in by the court. His Honor re- marked that in 11 charity he must pro- ncunce the defendant's actions as ex- tremely eccentric, but he hesitated about officially deciding that he was insane. The first scene of the story was laid in Frultvale, the second in Chihuahua. Mantel said that his first experience of married bliss was so short he hadn't time to bid his wife good-by and had run from the house of the officlating clergyman to catch his train. He did not ses her again for nine months. Mrs, Mantel said that the second scene, in Chi- huahua, was as brief as she could make it. The couple first met as the result of a notice inserted in a San Francisco paper by Miss Cuthbert applying for a position as governess. Mantel, who was located in Mexico as a travellng agent for a brew- ery, answered the advertisement, saying that he wanted a ‘‘young, refined lady,” not as governess, but as his wife. Mrs. M. C. Maxwell of Fruitvale, with whom Miss Cuthbert was living, wrote to Mantal that she would introduce him to the young lady and that they could then de- cide his proposal for themselves. From Mantel's letter the match was not an un- desirable one. He sald he was recetvin, | a salary of $300 a month, He neglecte: | to mention the fact that this was Mexican | money. | _Mantel came to Fryitvale and pressed his suit. Before matters had reached @ | definite stage he was summoned by wire | to proceed south immediately. Mrs. Max- ! well thought her ward would be compro- | mised unless the pair were married be- | fore he left and o a hurried ceremony | was arranged just in time to allow the | groom to catch the steamer for the south. |The bride remained in Fruitvale, sup- ported by remittances from Mantel, for | nine months. Then he wrote that he was ready for her to joln him in Mexico, but stipulated that she should come alone. | e testified that he -was petrified with | horror on recelving a telegram stating | that his wife was on her way to Chihua- | hua, accompanied by her friend, Miss Katherine Maxwell. When Mrs. Mantel arrived he reproached her for disobeying his orders, and he admitted on the stand that in the excitement of the moment he was more abusive than he intended to be, His wife declined to stay with him and left Chihuahua the next day in spite of Mantel’s orders to the Prefect of Police to detain her. Mrs. Mantel's testimony related that her irate spouse created a farewell scandal at the station, drawing all the street loungers of Chihuahua to the place by his loud and abusive tirade. But her departure from the land of poco tlempo did not release her from Mantel's attentfons. She sald that on their way home she and her friend found that the officers had been notified to be on the | lookout for them at every stop. They | had had thrust upon them the unwelcome | distinction of a_place on the blacklist of every Chief of Police from Chihuahua to | Fruitvale. | As his own attorney Mantel made a plea | to the court, saying that he had been pub- | licly scandalized and was a heartbroken man. The court might decide against him, but there were other ways of attain- ing his ends. This covert threat was re- peated more openly after the court had rendered the decree of divorce, and Man- tel was restrained by a deputy sheriff until Mrs. Mantel had left the courtroom. ‘“What d6 you mean by what you just sald?” he was asked. “Time will tell,” sald the Mexico. o LOSES A LIMB TO | man from Former Sheriff Charles J.

McCleverty, owner of the Fashlon stables, has been compelled to suffer the amputation of his right leg. above the knee.

A INFANT SETS HIS OWN DRESS AFIRE Thrusting Stick Into Stove Resulis in a Fatal Burning. —_— Oekland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Feb. 16. ‘While playing about a cook stove this morning -at the ranch of his parents, one mile from Haywards, John Cardoza, the 18-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Car- doza, was burned to death, his clothing catching fire. The mother and father were In a fleld, and the baby's brothers and sisters tried In vain to save the little one. They,narrowly escaped being burned themselves as they tried to tear off the blazing cotton garments that enveloped the infant, whose screams attracted the attention of the parents. ter arrived the child's flesh had been burned to a crisp and the clothing was nearly destroyed. Dr. Alexander of Hay- wards was summoned. The baby was barely alive when he arrived. The accident occurred in the basement of the farmhouse where the family re- sided. The father and mother after breakfast had ne out to do some chores, leaving the baby and older chil- dren. The little one crawled up to the stove and munfied to get a small stick into the wood fire which was burning briskly. As he withdrew the bit of wood. which was ignited, sparks. scattered upon his flimsy - cotton clothing and the gar- ments were In an instant aftame. The other children were heipless in their strug- gles to extinguish the burning dress and underclothes because of their fright. By the time the parents arrived there was no hope for_the infant. Mrs. Cardoza narrowly escaped being burned herself. As she was tearing ..e blackened shreds of clothin, sparks settled upon her dress, but she managed to save herself from the fate that had befallen her little son. Coroner Mehrmann held an inquest this evening at Haywards. —————————— Death of J. A. Foote.

A. Riley. *““Half of the right foot was crushed, leaving only the great toe unhurt. I did what I could then to ease the boy's sufferings. He did not {seem to be suffering a great ampunt from shock. I didn't consider it a dangerous case then, and the boy had a chance for recovery unless there were other compii- cations. ““When 1 was about to proceed with the amputation which I found necessary I was interrupted by the boy's guardian. He did not want me to treat the case. He wanted his family physiclan, Dr. San- der. Dr. Sander was out of town and they tried to get other physicians, but they all seemed to be busy. ‘‘An hour after the boy was brought to my office he was taken to the Alameda Sanitarium. There 1 walted yntil 11 o’'clock before Dr. Sander arrived from the city. We amputated a portion of the foot in an endeavor to save as much of {1t as we could. 1f I had had the case alone I would have amputated it above the ankle. My connection with the case ceased after the first operation. In my o:lnlnn the delay lessened the boy's chances for life.
